continue INV remarks on the Kansas question,
in the Senate, had virtually abandoned the
Lecompton constitution. This is a mistake.
declined TO speak on the question of refer
ring papers, and chose to wait until the consti-
tuition should be before the Senate. There was
nothing to be gained, as thought, by continu-
ing the details on an immaterial poiOt, when it
was certain the main question was TO DC before
us in few days.
Ihaue mott shado,o Of doubt that Kansas aoiU
be admitted uRdei' the LccomptO7l rcOnstitutiOn,
and shis aoit0ut the slightest regard to any cote
that mag hare been cast m the !4tt inst.
If you and the Tribune had assumed that
declined speaking because thought the ques-
lion already settled in our favor, you would
have been nearer the mark. ~
Very respectfully your obj serg't

TIE Petersburg (ya) Latelligencer, after de-
nouncing, like the South and the eSoutd-Side
0smocr4t, the idea of the right of the people of
Kansas to hive their Constitution submitted to
their vote, brings IN the last stroke on its drum
with the following violent flourish:
Gov Wise, in phrenzicd lust for the Prcsi.
dency, has dared to hetray this constitutional
stronghold of the South. Let the righs of Con-
gross to prescribe terms on which new States
shall be admitted into the Union De acknowl-
edged, and we are at the mercy of the Northern
and Gov. Wise and hi; friends cannot onen their
lips in opposition. Ii rests with the Virginia
Democracy to ''head" this dangerous demagogne
if they can. They placed MIN in a position to
do this great mischief to the Southland until
they bind his hands and gag his mouth, they
will be responsible for all he does and says.

Mr.. BRowNsoS's LEcruRE.-O. A. Brownson,
| ESQ. lectnred last evening in City Hall, 10 an
audience thar half filled That large room. His
subject was, philanthropy and Charity
| their different natures origin and Office. While
4 the former is the fruit Of a noble and generous
nature, the latter is n supernatural gift-a gilt
of grace. In trcating upon philanthropy, he
4 showed how, as exhibited in moral reforms, it
often ran to extremes, and illustrated this point
of his subject by references to temperance re-
| forms and abOlitiOniSm In speaking of the for
mer, he gave his opinion very freely against en-
actments against the sale or use of intoxicating
| drinks. With respect 10 the anti-Slayery move
i ment he made the same statements that we have
i so often heard from democratic" rostrums, and
4 which have been exploded as often as made.
He considered the physical condition of the
slave at the South in general, as better than that
4 of laboring menHin the free States.
Mr. Brownson is a very pleasant speaker, and
a man of fine presence. We regretted chat we
were called ont before he had concluded the leo
turc the latter part of it being devote to the
contrast of charity with philosophy. I'ttts6urg

The New Haven Register thus compliments
the badly printed sheet of a contemporary
"Weshould like to be informed, from some re.
sponsbe source If the publishers really call that
"a printed sheet which:is daily sent to us, in
exchange? If they do, we hayE only to say,
that we are confident that we could get better
impression from apound of assorted nails, on
an old cheese press, than the copies which we
are receiving"
