The question being on ordering the

The bill was ordered TO be read the

TO the Committee of the Whole.
Mr.. McCleary said he should vote for
the motion TO refer, yet he desired to cor
rect an error into which the gentleman
had fallen. 1t had been contended by
gentlemen that the bill proposes to confer
jurisdiction upon the Probate Courts,
which the Judges Of these Courts were
not qualified to perform. Such was not

Mv- The Cleveland PLaindealer.

HB ho OttVelanu x7tutHue0teF1 Vi
Wednesday last, has a long editorial
advocating a fusion of The Republicans
and the Douglas Democracy, and forming
a great national party, the basis of which
shall be, that the people of the Territories
shall be left free to form their domestic
institutions in their own way ST. Iou.
The doctrine which the PlaiDdealer
avows as The basis of new organization,
is precisely that which ,oe held four years
ago, as true Democratic doctrine, and for
WHICH we we're prescribed in the Demo
cratic party, by The loss of the nomination
for Congress in this district. Then it
was, that the Democracy of the 2tst
Congressional district Of Ohio, were long
and loud in their denunciations against
those who claimed that, even as an abstract
principle the people of Territory had the
right to frame their domestic institutions
in their own way, without Congressional
Intervention. II is true, that The Demo-
cratic and Republican parties, in this
District, were at that time thoroughly
one upon this question; the Kansas
Nebraska Bill being equally obnoxious TO
both. The Ameli cans, proper, had not
as yet taken any position upon the ques-
tion. Since that time 10 the present, the
Americans, in al their National Councils
and Conventions have invariably taken
decided ground in favor of the doctrine of
popular sovereignty as expressed in the
proposition of the PlaindeGler. 1t is not,
therefore, to be wondered al, that as an
American, we should hail with delight
the proposed advance Of the anti-Lecom-
ton Democracy, and the Republicans. to
the true prin nciples of the Constitution
and of right, The move is good one
it had its origin with CRITTENpEN in the
Senate, and has been endorsed by every
Republican and anti. Lecompton Democrat
in the House of Representatives; and
every Free State in The Union is prepared
to give il their sanction. Let minor
differences be suspended, for the time,
and let the people unite in one solid and
unbroken column, march forward in favor
Of freedom and the right. We are IN for
union with every anti Lecompton man in
the nation. You may call us Wing,
American, FIeesoiler, Democrat, Repub.
lcan or any other name you please |; we
care not for names; they are merely
nominal and conventional, but principles
are eternal.
We would favor the call of National,
State, and County conventions, at an
early period. Lei an organization be
consummated, which will tell favorably
for The cause of freedom. .....

In VoTING for the admission of Kansas
we do not care fig whether the Repub'
lcans abandoned their platform or not
They did what the exigency of the case
required, and with an earnest desire to
get rid of the vexed Kansas question:
We honor them and every anti-Lecompton
Democrat for the course they pursued.
If, however. they did abandon theiI
principles, as the Union asserts, and did
accept the doctrine of popular sovereignty
will the Union be so amiable as to inform
us why the Administrator party in the
Senate did not concur in their action p
That answered, we shall nave occasion
to discuss further. .

Mr.. Giddings and Mr.. Crittenden

The New York Express in its Wash
ington correspondence, has the following
interesting incident:
On Saturday last, while the discussion
upon the Kansas question was in progress,
and while all parties in the House were
more intent upon arrangements for the
final struggle than upon the arrangements
of speakers, and while all were in doubt
as to what might be the ultimate course
Of Mr.. Giddings and his confess, the Hon.
Mr., Crittenden came into the hall. and
near the door, was joined by, Hon. H.
Marshall. But moment was permitted
them for communication, when Mr..
Giddings went forward, and taking Mr..
Crittenden warmly by the hand. with a
recognition Of Mr.. Marshall al the same
time, said, "Who could have believed
this Of me, that should be found with
you, following you! But, while have
spent long life in fighting against enc.
mics, and am ready still to fgh! them, |
have never fought, and cannot now fight
against my friends. remember we'll
the occasion when the ban Of exclusion
having been passed upon me by this

the warm hand Of sympathy and friend,

and censured as ] may be by many, in

of true patriotism here came from The
three SO united, and the fate OF Lecomp.
ton in the House was so sealed pas

PROVISIONS-There has been quite an ac-
tive demand for all descriptions OF Provisions
during the past week, and the market has been
very buoyant. Bulk Meat has advanced fully /
cent pr ID, with still upward tendency. Bacon
has ruled firm, with good demand, and hold
ers at the close OF the week asking an advance.
Barreled Pork has advanced fully soc per Dbl,
and with light stock the market closed firm; beef
was shade lower, but lard has been improving
in price, and at the close of the week we note
an advance of fully cent per 10 on last week 5
rates. The advices received from the West du-
ring the week have been favorable to holders,
and the market in consequence closed firm for
most all descriptions.
COFFEE-The Coffee market has shown very
little activity during the present week and trans
actions consequently we're by no means large.
The general tene Of tho market remains un-
changed. The sales for the week sum up some
1900 bags, as follows, viz 100 bags medium
Rio at lOAlO4c; 900 bags fair do at l03c; 2,459
bags good do at lo4c; 100 bags prime do at lie
and so bags Laguayra at l25c. Holders of cof-
fee are very firm in their views, and show no
disposition to sell under previous quotations,
which are as follows, Wig :-l0alO4 for medium
grades Rio Coffee; lO}al0ac for fair to good do,
and llall9c for prime do. Laguayra Coffee
may be quoted at l2al2}c. No Java in first
hands. The stock of Coffee has been reduced
about 10000 bags.
