ry- Mr.. MORRIS, of Pennsylvania, has been
kind enough to send us copy Of his speech
on the Lecompton measure Though short, it
exhibits decided ability. His reasoning is clear
and forcible; his Illustrations classic, and in
good taste, and his points striking. t| /.
Mr.. M. sums up the whole question involved
in this Lecompton matter, in nutshell He
says:
"Therc is no other issue in this question, in
my judgment, than the right of Congress to
force an organic law upon people against their
express will. i insist that the voice of the peo-
pie shall prevail; that it ought to exercise more
influence over our deliberations than the wishes
of the President and that we shall violate every
principle of popular government, if we sacri-
fee the dearest privileges of the people to the
mandate Of power" ..s....'.....

AN ABOLITIONIsT THEN--A GOOD
REPUBLICAN NOW.

When Mr.. JAMES BRooKs, Of New York, was
a candidate for Congress, and was elected, he
was known to be decidedly opposed to the
Free-Soilers and Abolitionists Of the North,
though byno means pro-savery man. His
opponent on that occasion was no other than
JoHN COCHRAN, nephew, we have understood,
of Geret Smith, and at that time as decided
an Aboitionist- least he was understood to
be--as his uncle.
Il Where is he now? Chairman of the Dem
ocratic caucuses ofthe House, and laboring with
all his might to fasten upon the people Of Kan
sas constitution which such men as Giddings,
Grow, Mott, Tompkins, Burlingame, Colfax,
and others of the House, and Hale, Seward,
Wilson, and others of the Senate, oppose be-
cause they affirm that it establishes slavery
where the Missouri Compromise prohibits it.

KANSAS In THE HOUSE.

The Kansas bill Was taken up again in the
House on Thursday. The question was, will
the House adhere to its amendment rejected
by the Senate) Upon this the previous ques-
ton was ordered and sustained. The vote was
then taken on the motion to adhere, and car
ried-ayes 119, noes 11l--the same members
voting as they did on the CRrTTBNDES amend
ment except two-Colonel Marshall of Ken
lucky, and Bowie, Of Maryland, who paired off.
Thus the Senate and House are now dead
locked on this bill A Committee of Confer
ence is the next step; but we do not suppose
either branch will give way, or compromise, and
il not, the bill falls between them.

Such is the arrogant and imperial title Of an
equally imperious, arrogant boastful, and as.
sumptive article in the Union of Saturday last

cratic rescrip, or ukase, and doubtless every
mothers son who believes in the "Divine right

But the Union, in its swelling arrogance, for
gets a thing or two We quote:

tiers of a century of Democratic government in
America-three quarters of century Of union
of its people under one system, without the
alteration of a single word or letter of their
organic law" tlEl uIat aaea
(. "Their organic lawl" The Constitution is
here meant-an instrument which the party
now calling itself the Democratic party, most
strenuously opposed. Parties then first rose,
and Were denominated FsderdIists and Aati-
Fsderalists The Fsderalists were in favor
of adopting the Constitution--the Anti FEEDER
alists opposed to its adoption. But failing to
defeat it, and finding the name an unpopular
one, they dropped it and took that of Repu6li,
.cans--in some places that of Democrats; and
were denomiDated by their opponents Demo
Gratis and sJocobins, as they had instituted Dem
ocratic or Jacobin Clubs, in imitation Of the
Jacobin Clubs of France during the revolution
in that country. .,t.s...., ...l 4.
The black cockade-the national cockade,
and worn by Washington and all other officers
of the Army during the revolutionary war, and
down to much later period, was the distinctive
badge of the Federalists while the tri-colored,
French cockade was worn by their opponents.
We suppose the Union would claim WASH
INeToN as Democrat; but he was anything
but Democrat, and was reviled by that party
down to the day Of his death, as if he had been
a traitor to his country, rather than patriot.
IF any one doubts this, let him read the three
campaign pamphlets of 1900, written and pub
lished in Richmond, Virginia, entitled, "The
Prospect before u.s." Let him read also the
Democratic papers Of that day, and especially
" The Aurora"-Bache's paper, published in
Philadephia-which contains an article, pub
lished very few daysafter w ashington's death,
exulting at the event! We have seen, read,
and copied il, and know Of what we speak.

THE TROUBLES OF THE UNION.

The Union is greatly troubled at shadow
the shadow Of coalition-which is TO take
place between three high contracting pow
ers" severally represented by Senators CRrT-
TESDEN, DouoLAs, and SEWARD. ts pg.nr
The linton, we suppose, will admit that men,
and the masses they represent, who have long
acted aHtagonistically, do not unite and act
together on ordinary occasions. There must
be something acknowledgements great in
terest at stake, or principle involved--to bring
such men together. But they have been brought
together for the time being; they have voted
together-acted in unison. WhyH Because
a great wrong, as they believed, was to be per-
petrated by the Administration, if it could com
mand votes enough in the two branches of Con-
gress to effect its purpose. This wrong they
were determined to prevent IL they could, and
in resisting it they were maintaining the great
principles of Republican, oyernment---theri
Of the people to make their own organic laws !;
they were resisting usurpation, fraud, and tyr
amy. However they might differ on other
matters, this was one that with true American
feelings in their bosoms, they could not differ
upon. There is an instinct in the breast of
every true lover Of freedom, which prompts
him, on the instant, to resist aggression and
usurpation; and that instinct, together with
the attempt Of the Administration to impose a
constitution upon the people Of Kansas which
is odious to them, and upon which they have
never been allowed fair opportunity to vote,
brought together those whose union so troubles
the major organ Of the Administration Wheth.
or they win act together hereafter or not, will
depend upon the course of the Administration.
II the latter should unexpectedly become what
Il ought to be--just conservative, conciIiatory
disposed to respect the rights Of the people,
and leave them perfectly free to form and reg.
ulate their domestic institutions in their own
way'-if IL will turn its attention TO- and use
all its efforts to promote the great agricultural
commercial, and industrial interests ofthe coun.
try--if it will cease to use the patronsge Of the
Governmenttobuy up partisans and supporters
and endeavor to win, by deserving, the conf.
dcnce and respect Of the nation, we vouch for
it there will be no such coalition as now dis.
turbs the repose Of the President and his organ
Leading men combine to resist tyranny and
usufpation, and the people follow them wher
the protection Of the peoples rights bring them
together. .irt,o ~ h9luJ q

New PROPERTY OF LIGHT Sum Light Sealed
up IN a Bottle.-M Niepee de st. Victor, in
France, has lately made some experiments of
exceeding interest, in order to determine wheth-
er bodies which have absorbed light, and which
are afterwards kept in darkness for any length
of time, will again give out light He found
that an engraving which had been exposed to
the suns rays, and afterwards placed in adark
box, would affect sensitive Photographic paper,
and produce dark impression ofthe light parts.
This result was not produced unless the picture
had been subject to sunlight portions covered
by screen having no, action at all. The OBJ
ject seemed to be saturated with light, and, the
longer the action oflight upon it, the more in
tense was the reproduction of the figure.
1t was ascertained that actual contact of the
colored surface with the sensitive paper is not
necessary, and that the impression could be
taken at distance
A layer Of any tissue, however, interposed
between the picture and the sensitive paper
prevented the action. Certain English inks
gavethe best results. The impressions differed
according to the nature of the chemical ingre-
dients Of the color A white color reproduced
the best
M. st. Victor exposed an engraving to the
light for an hour and then applied it to white
pasteboard surface, which had been kept in
darkness for several days, and allowed them to
remain in contacttwenty-fou hours. Thepaste-
board then transferred to sensitive paper an
impression Of the engraving, less clear, however,
than in the previous instance.
The most wonderful experiment Of all was
this q metallic tube, closed at one extremity,
and lined with white paper, was placed 50 that
the direct rays of the sun might enter the open
end and be absorbed An engraving upon India
paper was then placed over sheet Of sensitive
paper, and the opening of the tube so applied
that the light contained in it might act upon
the engraving. It was found that an impression
could thus be taken off by means Of the light
absorbed and confined within the tube. If the
tube is Theoretically sealed, the property Of ra-
diation Of the light from its internal surface is
indefinitely preserved rag cfsun-light seal

! COZ. BENTON IS DYING.

An old and intimate friend called upon him,
and though scarcely able to move hand or foot,
found him hard at work debating the last
chapter Of his " debate Of Congress"
Resting few minutes from the task, Col
Benton entered into conversation with his Mis-
souri, friend. He told him that in reviewing the
.'eyents of 1850 he was glad to find that the ami
'mosities of the past had died out in his heart,
'and he was not only ready but eager to do jus,
tce to his former rivals and opponents. He spoke
with much feeling of Mr.. Clay, in whose merits
tand services he had awarded the highest praise
in What he was writing about the Compromise
period of 1850. He dwelt particularly on the
service, the great service, Mr.. Clay had rendered
to the Republic at that time by batting and put
ting down the traitorous sectionsts of the South,
3 who were seeking to destroy the Union and
plunge the country into civil war for their own
selfish and ambitious purposes.
The inspiration of this theme fired the languid
sblood and terminated for a moment the failing
frame Of the dying patriot. In energetic whis-
= pers, he told his visitor that the same men who
had sought to destroy the Republic in 1850 were
at the bottom of this accursed Lecompton bu-
siness. Among the greatest of his consultations
in dying was the consciousness that the House
: of Representatives had baffled these reasonable
schemers, and put the heels Of the people on the
s'necks of the traitors" gG H s 1 t

that Col. Benton breathed his last this (Satur-
day. morning, at an early hour. " sIt
REORGANIZATION OF THE CRIMINAL CoURT.-The
following memorial is now being circulated through
out the District, and has received large number
of signatures Iltta f3
I" To the Senate and House of Representatives:
The Undersigned, citizens and residents Of the
cities of Washington and Georgetown, most re-
specially represent that, in view of the frghtful
violations of law and order now and for consid-
cradle time prevailing in these our once peaceful
cities; and believing that the manner in which
our criminal laws have been for several years past
and are at the present time administered, is the
principal ifnot the entire cause of these outrages
"We, therefore, most respectfully pray your
honorable bodies to take the subject into your
most earnest and serious consideration, and we
will ask, in conclusion, that you will enact law
to reorganize our Criminal Court in this District.
And your petitioners will ever pray" &c.
The NAL administration of our criminal laws, and
the ineficency of the metropolitan police are I'M
doubtedly the cause of the fightful increase OF
crime in this District and we trust that Congress
will give this memorial serious consideration
when it is presented. So long as thsseniency Of
those intrusted with the enforcement of the laws
is proverbial, go long may we despair of seeing
claw and order" restored in the National Metropo-
lis, and have almost daily additions to the bloody
catalogue of crime. T 4.sEt . ..r.
