compton. Il is true, the tone of the mes
sage indicates Willingness on part ol
the President to sign any bill Congress
might pass receiving Kansas as a State

but il was a very significant fact that the
President had refrained from any indorse
ment Of the Convention, and from any
Recommendation as to the course Congres
should pursue in regrad TO the admissioI
Of Kansas. Indeed the President hat
expressed deep modification and disap
pointnent that the whole Constitution wa

suggested an adjournment. An exciting struggle
for the floor followed, in the midst Of which two
motions to adjourn, which were made By Messrs.
Letcber and Bocock Of Virginia, and voted for BY
the adherents of the Administration, were mega
tived. A classification Of the vote (Which Is re-

parties in the House. inasmuch as the Opposition
were desirous of prOlonging the session, SO that

Hughes proposed to submit the Message to
select committee of thirteen to report on the pro-
priety and expediency of admitting Kansas into the
Union and subsequently modified this proposition so
as to refer the Message without instructions to the
committee. Mr. Harris Of Illinois (DemOcrat)
finally secured the floor and offered resolution for
the reference Of the Message and Lecompton Con-
stitution to select committee of thirteen, ap-
pointed by the Speaker and instructed to inquire
into all the facts connected with the Constitution,
the election of the members Of the Convention
which passed it, its character, the number Of votes
cast against it, its satsfactoriness to the people Of
the Territory, and all ether matters connected with
the subject. Pending this proposition, the House
adjourned.

There does not seem to be any sufficient reason
why the trouble with the Mormons should be made
the occasion Of adding to the existing military force,
whether by adding to the regular army or enlisting
volunteers. The failure to occupy the Mormon valley
and the Winter camp the army at Fort Brdger did
not arise from any deficiency ofntary force. Atths
very moment the difficulty is not that more men
are needed, but that the number of men employed
on the expedition is quite out of proportion to the
means to feed and transport them. For the mere
military occupation of Great Salt Lake City two
thoussnd men, if not indeed much smaller force
would be amply sufficient. Considering the i'm
mense trail of baggage and provision wagons ne
cessary TO military operations in that country, and
the very limited supplies to be obtained on the spot
the efficiency and availability of a force by no
means increases in proportion to its numbers.
What Col Johnston needs is not men, but more
horses, mules, oxen, wagons, and supplies of all
sorts 1t is the commissariat, not the ranks, that
needs replcnishng.

SPECIAL DISPATCHES TO THE N. Y. TRIBUN


From Or Ora Correspondent.
WHsTHNGTON Tuesday, Feb. g 1853.
The great battle has fairly begun in Congress.
The President Message caused intense excitement
in both Houses. In the Senate it was denounced
by Mr.. Trmbull in q powerful speech and in the
House was received with excamations of indigna-
ton and contempt from the Republicans and Doug
las Democrats.
Its atrocious perversion of the facts in the history
of Kanses, and It's ultra Pro-Slavery tone, have
had g1od effect upon the Northern wayerers.
The Administration side was repeatedly beaten
upon the motion TO adjourn which was test vote,
the opposition desiring to enable Mr.. Harris Of li
nOis, Douglas Democrat, TO move the reference
ofthe Message to select Committee of Thirteen.
Mr.. Hughes of Indiana made a speech in favor Of
Lecompton. Mr.. Grow of Pennsy lyania has the
floor for tomorrow, and the prospect of affairs is
decidedly better than it has been for year past
Mr. Wilson, in the Senate, will open the attack
tomorrow upon the Message.
NIr. Sumner has been telegraphed to come on at
once. So has Mr.. Dawes, member of the House
from Massachusetts,. Every Northern man should
be at his post.
Yesterday deputation consisting Of Messrs.
Clay of Kentucky, Cox of Ohio and Hsskin Of
New-York (all Democrats), waited upon President
Buchanan for the purpose of demonstrating against
the passage of the LecomptOn Constitution. Mr..
Buchanan told them that it was too late; his Mes
cage was ready to send in, and he should not alter
it, LecomptOn must 60 through. Mr.. Clay is not
vet fully committed TO either side. Mr.. Haskin is
Anti-Lecompton. Mr.. Cox has already declared
himself Anti -Lecompton.

The full accounts which have come to hand of
the late movements in Mexico present that un-
happy country, or at least the City Of Mexico
itself. in a sad state of confusion. The attempt of
Comonfort to place himself at the head of mod.
crate party which might hold middle place be-.
tween the Radicals or Puros, as they call them.
selves, and the extreme Conservatives, has proved
a complete failure. In the struggle going on, at
the last accounts, in the City Of Mexico, Comon-
fort was no longer contending for the Plan of
Tacubaya and bis own dictatorship, both of which
seem to have fallen dead in consequence Of the
general protest throughout all the States and cities
of the Republic; be was fighting as the ally and
General of the very Puros whose favorte Consti-
tuition he had lately set aside, against new pro-
nunciamento, made as well against himself as
against them, and in favor Of Santa Anna BY the
same Gen. Zulosgs who had originated the Plan Of
Tacubays and the Dictatorship of Comonfott
At the last accounts the struggle had gone on in
the city for eight days with some occasional armis.
tices and attempts at accommodation, but without
any marked result. Both parties were expecting

The Message Of President Buchanan upon Kan
sss Affairs Wa, transmitted, together with the Le-
compton Constitution, to Congress yesterday.
In the SENATE, Mr. Wilson presented the appli-
catien Of L. r. Livingston, Of Massachusetts,, to
be appointed TO superintend the catalogung aud
indeAing Of the original documents and papers
the United States. Nir. Mason, from the Commit
tee Gu Foreign Relations, reported bill appropri.
atiDg $4,000 TO the lOng-pending Amistad claim
and Dir. Seward submitted minority report
against its payment. The Senate then took up the
Army bill. DIR. Seward was in favor of its passage
il he could be assured that the troops would be
withdrawn from Kansas, and the new leyies dis
banded 80 soon as there was no necessity for their
employment to put down the Utah rebellion. Mr..
Hale was surprised that Republican Senator
should take such position but Mr. Seward cared
nothing for party and said that the mistake was in
supposing the battle not already won, now that
there were l6 Free TO Is Slave States, while there
would be before the end Of the year 10 Free to Is
Slave States. The Presidents Message was then
received and read. Mr.. Bgler moved its refereuce
to the Committee on Territories. Mr. Trambu
preferred TO examine ts facts and reasoning before
il passed from before the Senate and proceeded 90
to do. In the course Of his remarks. he comment
I'd upon the Nebraska blu severely. This brought
Mr.. Douglas to his feet who said that be would
