THE ULTRAIsTs AWARE.

The Southern Ultraists are wide awake to the
Importance of the impe7ding CONFLICT in Con
gress upon the Kansas question. The Rich
mond South is once more the hear.r supporter
of the Administration. 1t remarks
"At last the Kansas controversy l.0s assumed
the shape of direct conflict betw IN the Pro.
Slavery interests of the South an the Anti.
Slavery interests of the North. T Admins.
trstion, supported by the bulk Of Il, Northern
Democracy, stand with the South isssthe strug-
gle. But Black Republicanism iss reinforced
by the detection of Democrats in tn North in
whose fidelity we have been accust med to re.
pose implicit confidence. The con ,st will be
arduous and of doubtful iseue. Tb,s Admins.
tration will want the support of thetsblest men
In the party, and the South will iced the ser
vice OF its truest and most trusted. cbampions.
Where stands Senator Hunter in~this emer.
gency2 His position is beyond dispute. 10
his Rockingham Letter he promulgated the
very principle upon which the Administration
and the Democracy now plant themselves in
the controversy with Walker and the Black Re.
publican party. He asserted thea absolute au-
thority of Convention in the manner and mat
ter of State organization, and he rejected the
idea that Kansas should be kept out of the
Union because its Constitution wants the for.
mality of popular ratification"
The Slavery PrOpagandists will be unit on
this question, without doubt. They care little
for the welfare of the Democratic party, in com.
parison to temporary success in Kansas. Iii,
a little inconsistent, however, for men who Cd.
pose the reference of a Constitution to the peo.
pie, to support Mr.. Buchanan, who processes to
dislike this principle.
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1857-12-17

with the demand Of the great body OF the Peo-
pie, and to prevent deadly conflict in the Ter
ritory, called an extra session OF t;e Leg'sa-
ture, SO that members just elected ~ the Peo-
pie may express authoritatively their opposition
to the Lecompton Constitution, ia stsnily re-
moved, and Denver, who, it is pre- pmed, viii
execute the will of the President, Ia arresting
any expression of Popular opinion, is dominated
in his place Governor Walker, wio doubtless
concurs in the action of the Secretary, is not
yet touched, but, should he attempt 10 proceed
to Kansas to discharge the duties Of his posi-
ton, he would doubtless be decapita!ed. Mr..
Douglas has already fallen under tbs ban, and
we expect soon to see more open measures Of
prescription resorted to.
Meantime, the Democratic Party in the free
States must make its election between the Peo-
pie of Kansas and the Lecompton Constitution ;
between Popular Sovereignty, Douglas, and
Walker, and the Free States, on one side, and
base usurpation, Buchanan and Cas-, and the
Slave Oligarchy, on the ether.

THE WAR COMMENCED.

We have every reason to believe that this
morning Frederick P. Stanton, E.q, was re-
moved from the position OF Territorial Sacra.
tary Of Kansas sep, the necessity Of which
will be realized instantly by all who compro-
bend the purpose OF the President in the mat.
ter of the Kansas question 70 be, as il ia, TO
take that vexetious matter ont Of the arena Of
national politics as soon as possible; OF which
policy, according to The journals now synps.
thiz'ng politically with Mr.. Stanton, be Is a.
this time very active and uncompromising CD.
ponent.
"This measure OF State indicates that we ~.
correct IN proclsiming, az we have done. tha.
there can be no half way position on the Kansas
question. as it has teen precipitated upon the
National Admins ration and CONGRESS Those
occupying a common platform with reference
to it, side b. side with Senators Seward and
Hale, cannot be regarded as hereafter entitled
to Democratic fellowship. y Wash S'ar, Dec 9.
The above paragraph, ir true, indicates that
the Administration is bent on terrifying North.
ern Democrats into support of the Lecom2ton
Constitution. The course Of the Administra.
ton papers here looks in the same direction
All who follow Douglas are threatened with ex.
communication from the Administration party
The Star Of last Wednesday saws:
:" The brief debate of yesterday in the Senate,
upon the subject, nomiually, of printing the
message and accompanying documents, leads
us to the conclusion, with great reluctance in.
deed, that Senator Douglas is about to sever
the connection heretofore existing between him.
eelf and the Democratic party Of the South aud
those of the North acting with them. Thst
this determination has been deliberately formed
is hardly to be questioned for II is we'll known
that the distinguished Senator has had quite
week in which TO come to conclusions as 10 the
proper course for him to take upon the K lnsas
question, in the phase in which circumstances
have thrust it o. the Executive and Congress"
We are well aware that it ia not in the power
of cur little ard lively contemporary TO excom.-
municate one of the ablest men in the Demo.
cratic party; but It's course and that Of tie
Union show the feeling of tie Cabinet. These
papers subsist upon the patronage of the Ad.
ministration, and reflect its sentiments upon
controverted questions. They now are attempt
ing to intimidate the Northern Democracy, and
we shall soon see with what success.

THE SOUTHERN FEELING UPON THE MES
SAGE.

There is some curiosity to know how the
people of the South will receive that portion Of
the Presidents Message which refers to Kan.
sas, and also how they will relish the position
assumed by Mr.. Douglas in regard to il. The
Washington Correspondent CT the Richmond
South, an ultra Pro-Slavery journal, says:
"Tha Southern members Of the 35th Con.
gress are by no means unanimous in approving
the expressions and sentiments of the doou.
ment, and criticisms are INDUCED in with great
freedom, and, in some instances. with degree
of severity. Indeed, it is proper to say that
that portion of the message relating TO Kansas
effsirs has occasioned no little disappointment
on the part of the Southern members, who had
hoped that the President would have defnel
his position towards Walkers high. handed and
dictatorial acts, and his misgovernment in the
Territory, so as TO give them the opportunity OF
discriminating in hia favor in their coDscien.
tous COMBINATIONS Of the policy pursued in
Kansas, and of uniting in sine srely and hearth
ly supporting the Administration. and givingit
the confidence of the South. Unfortunately,
however, as 1t will be perceived, Mr.. Buchanan
has wholly omitted any alusion to the official
misconduct Of Governor Walker, leaving his
sentiments on that subject in very grave
state Of doubt. This omi sion was evidently
studied and made BY Mr.. Buchanan, for reasons
best known to himself; bat it may entail cor
sequences which he would be glad to have
avoided
You may be assured that the Northern OPP
position to the message will not be met on the
part of the South with any considerable amount
of zeal in sustaining the President on all parts
of the Kansas question"

AMI all we have to cay, is, they are still harder
with us.
The Nep York Herald, warm supporter OF
Mr.. Buchanan, announces, with great delight,
that its receipts, since the advent of the none
tary troubles, are larger than ever.
We have said enough to show our friends
how deeply the Era is suffering. Il is topic
on which we shall not enlarge.

subscribers, at the close of the present volume,
with an extra number of the Era, containing a

TUESDAY IN CONGRESS.

In the Senate, message was received from
the President. After which, Senator Hale an.
nounced the death of his colleague, James Bell,
in appropriate terms. Senators Fessenden or
Maine, and Seward Of New York, followed
with wellchosen eulogies Of the deceased, and
the Senate adjourned.
In the House, Mr.. Tabpan, of New Hamp-
shire, announced the death of Mr.. Bell, of New
Hampshire, and, after the usual uulogies, the
House adjourned.

best friends, a miserable affair yet some, fear
ing worse one, should another trial be made,
voted for it. There was majority of twenty

five against Slavery, and Of about forty against

PRISTTYG.-The Democratic caucus candi
date for Printer, Mr.. Steadman, of Ohio, was
elected. In the proceedings connected with
he election, complaints were freely made
against the enormous expenses of Printing,
which reached, during the last Congress, two
millions. Whose fault is it? That Of mem.
bers of Congress, who have taken to the bust
ness of book publishing with extraordinary en-.
ergy. A committee was appointed to investi,
gate the whole subject of printing-expendi,
lures, abuses, &c. We hope it may be able
to recommend some salutary reform.

CHAPLAISs.-It will be observed by our Con.
gressional proceedings, that both Houses have
declined this year to elect Chsplains, and passed
resolutions inviting clergymen of this city to
make arrangements for the necessary services.

and if it work well, the practice of electing

The New SPEAKER.-Colonel Orr, the new
Speaker, is one of the abest men in Congress-
ard perhaps the most capable man for the
Speakers chair in the Democratic ranks. BE
has served three terms in the House, and il
well fitted for his post by an extensive expert
ence. An exchange sketches his appearances
and manners in the following brief fashion :
"Colonel Orr is a man about forty, of largo
frame, OF rotund stomach, and with set O.,
lungs of immense power. When he rises to
catch the Speakers attention, his shrill voice
scars above the tumult Of the House like the
whistle of a locomotive. he is singularlu
prompt, quick-witted in argument and retori
and pays the clcsest attention to every detail OF
House business. The dullest and prosiest de,
claimer can boast of an attentive listener iy
Orr; and it is rather ominous to new Gomez

to go through"

AN ENABLING BILL.-Mr. Douglas has given
notice Of a bill to authorize the people of Kan.
as to form State Constitution. This is mr..
doubtedly the true policy in the present stat
of affairs. Let Kansas be treated as Mime.
sofa and Oregon were treated. In fact, it were
we'll to agree upon this policy Of enabling bills,
a a general usage in the case of Territories
seeking to become States.
Reject the Lecompton fraud, and pass al
enabling act, and the cloud which now threa
ems civil war will pass away.

cratic journals in all parts of the country are
fond of quoting the N. T. Times as Republican
authority. mat Journal pretends to no such
thing-in tact, has repeatedly declared its in

Friday, that the ~. 7. Times, as al know, is

paper"
The Times of the previous Thursday con-
tains the following editorial paragraph:

with which political parties cling to this Kan
