An able correspondent. writing 70 the
Boston Morning Post from Washington.
hes the following remarks In relation TO
ths distinguished Senator from Illinois:
There is no use In eoncealing the fact.
that by the friends Of the Administration
here. Judge Douglas 10 considered as hay.
ing gone INTO opposition. This does not
imply that he has gone over 70 the Black
Republicans. for there are various shades
of opposition. though they blend with
more or less completeness on this, Kansas
question. The supporters Of the Admin
istra.ion intrench themselves in position
whiohris widely separated from that as
sumed by Senator Douglas. They say
that the people Of Kansas in the exercise
Of their admitted sovereignty" have
chosen to form q constitution by;means OF
the Lecompton Convention. and that the
Lecompton Convention was invested
with its authority aud discretion whether
to submit the constitution or net by the
proper power. viz by the people them
selves; and they sa5 that it is an incon>
consistency in supporter of the Kansas
Nebraska bill, to argue that the act did
not authorize the people Of Kansas to
form constitution in their own way, but
left them bound hand and foot waiting for
Congress to pass an enabling" act in
order to endow them with the first attri-
butte Of sovereignty. It's powerfully. and
l think unanswerably argued, that if the
Senator from Illinois can successfully de.

authorities. to form valid constitution.
and not mere petition. he proves the
boasted attributes Of the Kansas. Nebras-
ka act to be the most transparent sham.
II An "enabling act" is necessary to
confer upon the people the FIRST attribute
of popular sovereignty. what function did
the Nebraska law confer? Thus Senator
Douglas is laboring effectualiy to destroy
his own work. and to declare by act Of
Congress that the Nebraska bill was q
humbug. while the friends of the Admin.
istration are endeavoring to maintain tina,
it actually confers upon the people Of
Kansas the rights which it pretended to
confer. and that it does not need to be
cobbled up by an enabling" act"

Par OF rHE-JuDaEs .roR HoIp1Ne SrE.
GAL TERus.-Our readers will remen-
Der that on the motion of Mr.! Johnson Of
Taylor county. the Auditor of public ac-
counts was required TO report 70 Tie
House Of Delegates the amount Of money
paid to the Circuit Court Judges. under
the new constitution, including the
amount paid to each one for holding
Special terms. AS it was an easy task to
ascertain the amount received by each
Judge on account of his annual salary,
we'presume that the principal object OF
the mover OF the resolution was. End out
the respective sums. paid to each Judge
for holding Special Terms; for such SER
vices the compensation being FER. diem
compensation OF $40. The Auditors re.
port shows that the Judges in the 1ss
section were paid for holding special terms
$2.15o. The Judges in the 2ad section
$4.832. The Judges in the 3rd section
$4.5s4. The Judges in the 4.h section
S2'l1o. While the Judges OF this, the
9th section have only received $1.1lO.
Ofthis amount. Judge Edmiston has re
ceived $40. Judge Camden $3.50, and
Judge Thompson $50. 1t is somew hat
remarkable that is this section. where the
business is SO heavy, that so small sum
has been paid to the Judges for holding
special Terms. 1t goes very far. howev.
er, to sustain the position we assumed 10
former article. that there is great need
for the establishment of a new circuit out
Of parts of Judges Thompson and Cam
den's circuits.
The truth is, they are too constantly
engaged in holding courts in their own
counties to find time for holding Special
Terms for tho counties outside Of those
which by law constitute the field of their
labor. We think the Legislature should
look seriously and calmly into the propri,
ETY. Of forming new circuit out OF the
counties in this section through which the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad passes.

The Mormon war.

The Washington Union OF this morning
published dispatch Of some length just
received at the War Department, from
Col. johnson. who is in command Of the
military expedition to Utah.
Col. johnson Was emoamped in the
South Pass. Of the Rocky Mountains,
where he was concentrating tho rear de-
tachment Of the Expedition. except Col.
Cooks dragons who having been detain-
ed in Kansas are far behind the rest
Col. Smith was with him. The South
Pass Wagon Road Company. under DR..
Magraw. had been weakened and made
inefficient by discussions. and the residue
had united With Col. johnson until Spring.
The temperature 10 worry severe in the

which indicates that the men too had q

on which the. animals have 70 feed.
Col. johnson expected to move
through the Pass in Eve or six days. in
which time the troops in his rear would
have arrived. He had written to Col.
Alexander. who was in command Of the
advance on Hams Fork. and directed him
to abandon bis intention Of preceding

This will be favorable point whence to
move toward Utah in the spring. and will
also admit Of early reinforcements

the Secretary of War:
"Unless large force is sent here
from the nature Of the country-a pro.

TIE UTAH ExPEDIr1oN-THE MoRMoNs'
INDIAN ALLIES The ST. Louis Republi>
can has received information from Fort
Laramie through an Indian trader who
arrived at Jefferson City on the 9th inst
He reports having met, on the Esd OF
December. between six and seven hun.
hundred Cheyennes aud Camanche Indi-
ans. who were returning from Salt Lake
City to their villages on the Black WAL
nut hills. about eighty miles southeast Of
Fort Laramie. They were accompanied
by about twenty Mormon leaders. and i,
was their intention to remain at camp
they had erected until the spring. when
they would employ themselves under the
Mormon influence in harassing and cut
ling OF the supply trains which may be-
sen. to the relief of Col. Johnston. The
Indian trader had been led to believe that
the Mormons had eighty thousand fight
ing men. who were we'll equipped. He
also spoke Of numerous Notifications, and
Of seeing large number OF the Indian al.
lea. He declares that the Mormons have
no idea OF running away or emigrating to
the Critish Possessions.
