DEMOCRATIC SENTIMENT OF PENNSYLVANIA.
An active effort has been made by restless press
at Philadelphia to represent the democracy of the
Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania as dissenting from
the position of the President upon the admission of
Kansas as State, and the names of several papers
of that State have been arrayed conclusive EVIL
dence in support of such representation. 1t is
claimed that fifteen papers altogether have signifed
their determination to withhold their support from
the President. We have not the means Of testing
fully the accuracy Of this statement but so far as we
can gather from the tone Of the Pennsylvania demo-
cratic press, but one has INDUCED in any samor upon
the subject whose discomfort apparently increases
as the sober second thought persuades the demo
cratic party Of the whole country of the wisdom and
sound nolicy embraced in the Presidents recon-
mendations on this subject. Others may sympathize
partially in this dstracting movement, but we have
an abiding faith that all who passed unscathed
through the fire OF trial after the passage Of the Ne
braska bill will quickly rally to the support OF the
party to which they are attached and of the man
they have aided to place as it's representative in the
presidential chair.
We are, however, furnished by reliable Penn
sylyania paper with list not altogether complete
however, of the democratic papers of that State
which support and sustain fully the Presidents posi-
ton on the Kansas question. We give this list Tor
the information of the reader II embraces all the
old and well-known democratic papers in Pennsyva-
MIA. and certainly ia entitled to be considered as
truly rejecting democratic opinion in the Keystone
State:

RE,AssEMBLING OF CONGRESS.

The recess for the Christmas holidays having ex-
pred, Congress re-assembled yesterday. There
a full attendance in both houses, and the dis
position was manifested to push forward the trans
action Of the public business that has characterized
the present Congross from the first day Of it's meet
ing The thirteen days Of the session previous to
the recess witnessed closer attention to business
than has been usual of late years. and the official
port of the debates is of greater magnitude than for
the same length of time at the commencement of any
previous session. This disposition of Congress- en-
courages us to believe that no interest of the coun-
try will be neglected during the present session. and
that its legislation will be well considered and fully
matured. Loose and hasty legislation is always to
be deprecated it defeats the purposes Congress has
in view, and renders endless corrections necessary
There is now ample time to shape every measure 80
as to accomplish precisely the objects desired and
an opportunity to introduce more thorough and
careful system of legislation than has prevailed here
tofore We believe the present Congress has al
ready displayed readiness to work a thorough re-
form in this important matter.

the various other tribes in Oregon and Washington
to incite them into alliance He further informed me
that Colonel Wright at Fort Dallas and Captain Ingalls,
at Vancouver had each received such information led
them to believe this rumor.
Col Septoe declares that it is patent the Momons
active in inducing and melting the Indians to against
the whites and furthermore, they promise to join with
them in its prosecution they promise to furnish and
ammunition sufficient to equip twenty thousand warriors
Their own force is variousy estimated at from 500

From the Lnzsrnc unlon.
The views of the President the Kansas question are

the peace of the great democratic party, should not en-
