WASHINGTON, March IL.

+. SENATE. Mr. Crittendon spoke on
the Kansas bill. He referred to the right
of the people to govern themselves as
great principle, and applicable to the pres
ent circumstances The President, said
he, has recommended with unusual earn
estness the admission of Kansas under the
Lecompton Constitution. 1t was ques-
ton in his mind only of facts, whether the
Lecompton Constitution comes with such
authority and sanction as oblige US to re-
cognize it as the constitution of Kansas.
He thought it did not. The evidence of
Governor Walker and Stanton shows that
it is against the will of an overwhelming
majority of the people.
Mr. Crittenden recapitulated the state
ments of the varieus frauds in the elec-
tions, and then examined the legality Of
the Lecompton Constitution, declaring
that it was not the constitution of Kan
sas, but only of the Convention that fran.
ed it. The vote Of ten thousand on the
4th of January shows that it is not the
constitution of the people. They tell you
that it is particularly obnoxious to them,
because it is tainted with fraud. 1t is
one of a series of frauds instigated for the
purpose ofgetting and keeping possession
of the government of Kansas, from the
first election carried by armed invaders
from Missouri down to the present day.
Hence, he concluded, to impose it on Kan
sas would be plain and palpable viol-
alton of the right of the people to govern
themselves. But, continued Mr.. Critten-
den, the constitution carries on its face
the evidence of corruption. The person
who framed it knew that it contained pro-
visions which the Free-State men could
not assent to; therefore none were allowed
to vote unless bound to support it, the
slavery provisions and all The six thou
sand votes shown in its favor were put
in with the view of exhibiting suitable
majority, and in order not to make the
fraud too monstrous. They went just be-
yond the line. Fraudulent intent was
apparent throughout; and now, he asked,
can gentlemen ignore these frauds in the
face of internal evidence and conclusive
testimony! The people of Kansas say
that it is not their constitution, and ask
! us to send it back to be submitted to q
vote of the people. Can we, he asked,
refuse such request? Can Senators turn

WASHINGTON, March IS.

SENATE.-Mr. Toombs said that he
agreed with Mr.. Crittenden that this was
not asectional question. Itinvolved the
rights of fifteen States, and the principle
was worth more to others than the Un-
ion of these States. The Anti-slaveiy y
shibboleth that there shall be no more
slave States was being pressed in the
Senate, and the defeat of this bill would
be a triumph of that principle. It be:
came the Senate, therefore, to look at the
principles which underlie the question:
He then examined two clauses in the
Constitution, having reference to the ad-
mission ofnew States Hamilton, he said
foresaw the acquisition of Louisiana and a
large portion of Mexico. The former is
already history, and the latter is soon to
become so. Texas is already admitted
But the great restriction imposed on this
right of admission is, that the governments
must be republican in form; and the only
duty of Congress is, to see that the con-
stitutions are republican. But growing
out of this is another duty, namely, the
new States must be admitted on an equal
ity with the others. Kentucky, Tennes-
see, Alabama aud Louisiana were admit
ted without question. Missouri was
the first case in which power was claimed
to look into States constitution; not
because 1T was anti-republican, but be-
cause it tolerated slavery. Since that
period Northern Aboiitionists have oppo-
sed the admission of every new slave State.
Then they sowed the wind. Ifa whirl-
wind be reaped, they alone are response
BILE. He then proceeded to argue the
right of Kansas to be admitted under
the Lecompton Constitution, contending
that her claim was threefold, and support
ing his position by various illustrations.
He also gave record of his own bill,
explaining its principles. Then foliwing
the various points of Mr. Crittehden's
speech, he argued the legality Of the con-
stitution, and the duty OF Congress to pass
it. How could his friend, Mr.. Crittenden
stand On the extraordinary proposition

ITS AIM WILL BE

FIRST: IN Literature, to leave no province
un.eprcscnted, so that while each number will
contain articles Of an abstract and permanent
value it will also be found that the healthy ap-
petite of the mind for entertainment IN its vail
| GUS forms Of Narrative, Wit, and Humor, will

SAY, also, that while native writer's will receive
the most solid encouragement, and will be
mainly relied upon to fill the pages of the AT
LANTlc, they will not hesitate to draw from the
foreign sources at thcir command as occasion
may require, relying rather on the competency
Of an author to treat d particular subject, than
on any other claim whatever. In this way
they hope to make their Periodical welcome
wherever the English tongue is spoken or read.
SECOND In the term ART they intend to in
Ci1,uc the whole domain of aesthetics, and hope
| gradually to make this critical department a

private considerations Of what kind socver
| THIRD: In Politics, the ATLANTIC will be the
organ Of no party Or clique, but will honestly
| cndeavor to be the exponent Of what its con-
ductors believe to be the American idea. Ii
will deal frankly with persons and with barties,
endeavoring always to keep in vlcw that moral

and lasting national prosperity. It will not
rank itself with any sect or antics, but with thai
body OF men which is in favor Of Freedom, Ma
t;onal Progress, and Honor, whether public or
private.

mard, they suhoin the following list Of literary
persons interested in their enterprise; wishing
it, however. to be distinctly understood, that

open to presumption, there is little opportunity
for spectators, and settlers have assurance Of
neighbors and that rapid increase in the value
Of their lands and in social advantages which
arise from the system of land in limited guam

The country around St. Cloud, west of the
Mississippi was purchased of the Indians in a
treaty made with them by Hon. Alexander
Ramsey and Luke Lea in 1852 and ratified by
the senate the same year. The Sioux had
owned the land from 1927 but had not occupied
it, and it was used Us hunting ground by the
Winnebagoes whose land reached within four
miles north Of st. Cloud. Their country was

with Commissioner Manypcny and concluded
at Washington in Feb. 1856 and ratified by the
Senate March Sd Of the same year. In May
following they removed to their reservation on
the Blue Earth river and only since that time

which he has never failed to perform a radical
cure.
Dr. ToZer's reputation rs Physician stands un-
equaled. His exclusive attention to diseases of the
gento-urinary organs. for so many years, renders
him perfect master of syphilitc diseases.
The large number of aggravated cases that he
has perfectly cured after they have been given up
by many others is the only proof that physician
requires of his ability. DR.. Tozer would state
that he can any and all cases or varieties of
the diseases, no matter how long standing, or
what progress the disease has made, every pa
tient can rely upon cure
Dr. Tozer has, it is we'll known, taken pa
ticnts from the very verge of the grave, and
restored them to perfect health. He would fur
ther state, that he deems it sufficient to attract
the attention of those who might need the ser
vices of physician in all cases, but particular
ly those enumerated in this advertisement. ex-
