In tie Senate, the combatants on the /
Kansas question have had an armistice.
It was originated by Senator Brown, who
had the fool and was relied upon for
fierce assault upon Senator Douglas
Mr.. Brown commenced on the 4th, but
in few minutes was compelled to desist
by "ver,ieo." On the 9Th, no Mr.. Brown;
and finally Mr.. Brown appeared and de-
cliaed to 60 on with. his speech, for the
reason that coming events may modify
lis views. So, for more than q week,
Kansas in the Senate las been at rest.
The wags viii have Il that the vertigo
is epidemic with the Democracy, and that
even among those who have escaped thai
disease, many are troubled terribly with
another much Ike 1t, called Whers-to-
GO. Daniel Webster once had It. and It
was fa,aI-pol;tic;,Hy. Many Democrats
chiefly those from the Ncrth-now
have it, ard rec3rery is doubtful in alto
geiher too many cases. The fact Is that
. tie doctors are ii fault. In some cases
they administer mixed doses Of Free
Kansas cad BEc5anaR, but It IS found
that tie two ingredients invariably neu-
traljze each, and onGanger the patient.

President has expressed, within two
days, determination 70 press the Le-

The declaration was made % q supporter
Of the President, who was reaon=.-aai7e

by President Pierce with one Office, and
now President Buchanan gives him an
other. This illustrates tie meaning Of
the Presidents declaration in respect to
the Lecompton Constitution. For all
