WASHINGTON CONSEQUENCES.


ity of eight. The following States went in soil
column for It, viz Delaware, Virginia, South Caro-
ina Georgia, Alabama Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas
Tennessee, Florida and Arkansas. Missouri an
North Carolina gave each man against it. Mary
land cast three votes against it. So much for th
Southern aspect OF the question. It must be remem
bered, however, that this vote was upon Montgom
erys amendment Of Crittenden's amendment Mont
gomery is said to be large land holder in Kansas
and in the light Of that fact, or some other, the
accompanies find grave objections to his amend
ment. tisnin ea
Looking to the North, we find that Illinois, Iowa
Maine, Massachusetts,, Michigan, New Hampshire
Rhode Island Vermont and Wisconsin, presented an
unbroken front in favor Of the Montgomery amend
ment. Connecticut gave two, New Jersey two, In.
diana three New York ten Ohio two, and Pennsyl
vania eleven votes for the bill as it came from the
Senate, with Green's amendment. California gave a
man each way, Scott for, and McKibben against lie.
compton
General Qutman proposed, as a substitute to Mont.
gomery's amendment the original Senate bill. with
Green's amendment omitted. At this point Humph-
reg Marshall rose and offered proposition to amend
the original Senate bill by striking out precisely
what General Quitman proposed to omit. Stephens.
of Georgia, refused to yield the floor for that purpose
and the vote was taken naked upon Lecompton Not
one Northern man voted for it.
As between North and South in this Kansas issue,
this vote may be considered test, and it dscoses a
state of intersectona feeling too papable to be COM
mented upon. With regard to the six Southern
Americans who finally voted for the Montgomery
amendment and who, at the time of this test vote
preferred to vote with the Black Republicans against
General Quitman, / have nothing to say. How much
OF Parliamentary stategy was involved in Stephens
refusal to accept Humphrey Marshall's amendment
and what precise meaning should be attached to it,
cannot tell.
Yesterday the Senate refused, by a majority Of
eleven, to caucus in the Kansas bill as amended by
the House, and on Monday Tuesday next the plain
question will come up will the House recede y
Sanguine Administration men assert that it will; the
antLecomptonites assert that it will not, and be-
tween the two the probability is that Kansas will
fall to the ground, there to bleed for the benefit of
Observation-Disclosures year or so longer.
With the Observation-Disclosures, should be glad
to consider this result not at all sectional tri
umph. But hear the Black Republican cannon
booming all over the North, and see the Treesoil
papers unanimously hailng the result with JOY and
spreading it before their readers in the full majesty
of type and in doubly-leaded editorial columns If,
indeed, the South has been defeated in this matter,
the blame will find the fitting shoulders to rest upon
without the need ofany one to point the way. New.
ertheess, it is fair to presume that the Administr
ton will receive the olts Of opprobrium From the
it has bungled at every step. It has dis
played neither common sense, nor a common pur.
pose ordinary energy. Whether this is owing to
the number of Presidential aspirants in the Cabinet
which is now known to be divided on the Kansas
question, or whether it is due to the fact that the
Democratic party was already and thoroug hly de-
monlized when Mr. Buchanan assumed the sceptre
is matter Of very little importance to the country
Certain it is that Pierces administration shines bril-
lanty in comparison with Buehanan's, that the ex.
sting Government is thwarted at every turn by its
own party, and is, in consequence wholly incompe-
tent to discharge the high trusts committed to it.
In this connection pitfu story is told about Old
Bucks weeping like child over Dewart and begging
him to stand by him in the awful Lecompton CRISIS
Another fiction is going the rounds of the Yankee
papers to this effect Crittenden came in the House
some days ago, and at the door was met by Humph-
rey Marshall To these two comes old Giddings, and
seizng Crittenden by the hand, alludes pathecally
to their coalition against Lecompton and recalls the
fact that many years ago when be 1Ciddinss1 vas
