The Union pronounces the late speech Of


Hon. Lyman Trumbull, Of Illinois
"rhe most disiugenuous, disreputable. and
taking into consideration his-positfon as U nited
states Senator, the most disgracefnl that has
tfnanatod from any public man. While accusing
the Administration Of extravaganza, Mr.. Trum-
bull institutes a comparison between the expen-
ditufes when Mr.. Fillmore was President and
the last fesf Of Gen. Pierce's administration,
certain localities by showing the disparity be-
tveen the amount paid for the service in coll ect-
Ing and the amount actually collected
- Fos instance, CONTINUES the Onion,) he ga vs.
at wilming.oh, Delaware, there was collected IN
1857 50 ,O4 95, Shjie the expense OF collecting
was Sl5.Sis 3S he emitted to tell his eonstitu-
ency that In 1852, the ias year Of Mr.. Fillmsre's
administration, at the safhe port there was COL
ing was SIS, l3l 10 (; and yet he keld the docu-
mrnt in his hand from which he obtained the
one fact, and from which be might have eomDu-
nicated the other. Again, he says at Annapolis,
Maryland, there was collected in 1857 S07t Is,
and the expense of collecting was 1888 AZ, and
yet he remembered to forget to inform his con
stituency, to whom he was endeavoring 10 iInpan
the truth from the very same document, that IN
1852 there was collected at Annapolis, the very
same port sI23 90, and the expenses paid for
n, me,,s sane 80 Agsn collected ia
expenses 81 ,3Ol 50 and yet this very omclal re-
port OF the Secretary Of the Treasury, which he
triumPhantly held up, contained the informs-
TO his people, {, at at this identical port In
the State Of North Carolina the amount collected
In 1852 was SO -, and the expenses q, 5l7 40;
and 50 we might convict him Of every case to
which he could have referred.''
The Union, also, in reply to the New York
Times, gives views Of the Kansas question as
follows:
THE Legislature will meet on the first Mon
day in January next. Granting that IL shall au-
thorize the election of convention, II will quire
more than a month and a half TO notify the cleo
ton, to go through with 10, get the returns, de-
eide upon them, organize the convention, DELHI
crate frame constitution publish II to the people,
call another election to ratfy and confirm IT, get
the returns thereof, proclaim the result, and, 1t
being favorable, send forward all the papers to
Congress, before the session closes.
THE votes cast at the recent election indicate
that there Is now population in the Territory
very nearly approaching seventy thousand,
the representative ratio of ninety-thTee thousand,
thus removing all objections TO the admission Of
Kansas by the next Congress "
The Union further learns that the War De-
partment has determined to order Cen Harvey
to the command of the army in Washington
Territory, to conduct winter campaign against
the Indians. A campaign at that season, when
the passes through which the Indians usually
escape are blocked by snow, offers, it is said,
the best chance of totally subduing them.
The Intslligssesr replies to the Albany
Ersning Journal on I" the present phase of
the Kansas question.
