o. T. MORTON ESQ, addressed crowded
House on Friday evening last, in the Starr
Hall. congratulating the friends of freedom
upon the defeat of the Lecompton Constitu-
ton in the House Of Representatives. The
Speaker showed up the history of that infa-
nous fraud it its true light. and must have
convinced every one present that it would be
great outrage upon the rights OF the people
of Kansas to impose that Constitution upon
them. The marked attention given the speak
er by the audience, and the frequent burst of
applause with which his remarks were re-
ceived. bespoke the interest the people feel
in the action Of Congress upon this important
question.

The County Ticket.

We present the County Ticket nominated
on Monday last to our readers; and bespeak
or it the hearty and cordial support of every
member of the Republican party in the coun

the great and important issues of the day,
and for this reason it is especially important
that the candidates for the Senate and house
of Representatives should be sustained with
the most perfect unanimfty They Will have
to aid in the election OF two United States
Senators in the places OF Bright and Fitch.
In the filing Of such important stations old
WAYNE must not falter, but should pile up for
her candidates saeh a majority has never
heretofore been given to ticket in the coun-
,y. No one doubts their election, of course,
but it is mportant that their majority be coun
ted by thousands, and If every opponent of the
course Of the administration in regard 10
Kansas, vote for them. their majority will be
thus counted. The candidates for county Of
fees equally good and reliable men, and
deserving the support Of the people and the
party.
We hope if any personal and embittered
feeling has been engendered in this late con
test for the nominations that il win be sacrif
eed upon the common altar Of the public good.

said that ocght not to have been said, but they
should be treated as the passing wind. They

the great battle Of freedom and slavery has
to be fought, personal feelings are insignifi

UrAu WAR IN THE HousK'-On Tuesday
last in the House the debate was conhued to
the Deficiency bill While several members
showed the necessity for the passage of the
bill. including the heavy items for the Utah
expedition, others earnestly condemned the
policy of mourning debts to be discharged By
appropriations to supply-the deficiencies.
Mr. Seward. of Georgia said that he did
into difficulty with Brigham Young. The
whole army operations were carried out in too
magnificent scale. He would have law
passed prohibiting army officers from coming
here unless for special reasons. This is the
central point from whence emsnates the
schemes of extravaganza.
Mr.. Taylor La. said that nothing had oc-

The Senate of the t-zfed States has passed
bill providing for guard Of one hundred
men to patrol the streets Of Washington city.
We understand this bill provides that the
President, assisted perhaps by the Secretary
Of the Interior shall have the appointment
ofthis royal guard. 1t is doubtless designed
to make this political machine iu the hands
Of the Administration TO aid in carrying out
the prescription that is being visited upon
every man IN that city who has the indepen-
dence to speak out in favor of Freedom. We
hope the House will refuse to pass the bill
The popular branch-the Representatives Of
the people should protect the rights of Amer
lean citizens from such a pretor,an guard
as this bill contemplates. Not only this, there
is no good reason why tire general govern
ment should be required 10 furnish a police
force for Washington city. Nine tenths Of
the expenses Of that city are now borne by
by tie United States Us streets are paved
shade trees planted-Court House and city
Hall-Poor Houses-Asylu ms, iails all built
at the expense of the Government Marsh
ais and police force is already paid for, and
is proposed TO add one hundred more to
this little army. An army in Kansas and
body guard in Washington may be able to
make James Buchanan invincibIe. Napoleon
had his guard-why may not Buchanan have
his. Napoioan was an Emperor and Buch-
anan would be.
The bill as it passed the Senate provides
for Chief of the Auxiliary Guard, to be sp-
pointed by the President and Senate, Salary
$4,000.
Authorizes the Chief to appoint one Cap
tain and four Lieutepants, and one hundred
guards, men. The Captain to have salary
of $1,000, to be paid monthly. The Captain
and Leutenrnts and men TO be appointed with
the approval Of the Secretary of the Interior,
and 10 be dismissed by the Chief at pleasure,
or upon the order of the Secretary.
Authorizes the guard to be divided into
ment Of guard houses at such points as the
Chief may designate. subject 10 the approval
Of the Secretary of the Interior.
Authorizes the Chief, United States District
Attorney. United States Marshal. and the
Mayor OF Washington 10 make rules, DC, for
the government Of the guard. subject TO the
approval of the Secretary OF the Interior.
Appropriates So 900 annually secret
service fund, to be expended under the dir
ection Of the Secretary of the Interior.
Authorizes the President. a. any time, to
order temporary increase Of the guard TO
any number less than two hundred, such
temporary appointment to be paid at the rate
Of two dollars per day while in service. and
be dismissed so soon rs the emergency pas
ses.
Requires each officer and members Of the
guard to wear a uniform dress at all hours
when on duty, and on his hat cap such
number as be assigned him. The captain
