from Democrats of the School of Brodel
rex, Forney, Hickman, Haskin, Clark &
Co. They all denounce his course, and
tho Illinoisans explain by saying that he
goes on business. "Then if he goes on
business" responded Pennsylvanian in
one instance, "why did he take his wife
and why does he submit to a reception at
Memphis, under the direction of Gen.
Jones, who, in the House, advocated and
voted for Lecompton?'
There are reports In the city that Mr..
Buchanan, by the power of the federal
patronage, has fixed the Illinois Lecisla-
ture 80 that Mr.. Douglas cannot be elected.
As Mr.. Buchanan has effected more won.
dsrful things than the purchase of two OF
three votes in State Legislature during
his administration, shall not doubt the
rumor, although change in that Legls-
lature if any occurs, seems more likely to
favor Mr. Lincoln than the Buchanan
candidate.
Strong efforts will be made to organize
the territories of Dacotah, Arizona and
Nevada. The latte rterritory embraces Car

tits an important question whether the
democrats will apply to Oregon the Eng
lish bill restriction, requiring her to have
population of 90 900 efore she can come
into the Union as State. 1t is under
stood that majority Of the Senate will
be opposed to the admission of Kansas. if
she applies with legally CONSTRUCTED con-
stitution, unless she has the population
named above. The Oregon bill has pass

up by Mr.. Stephens of Georgia at an ear

A proviso will be offered that Kansas, and
all other new States applying, shall be ad-
mitted without the English populs.ion
restriction. There is no doubt that such
proyiso would pass the House.

today. The more prudent Southern men
condemn the President for throwing such

reasonably be expected that the North will
keep silence when the President himself
reopens the Kansas question.
The Amistad case forces Cuba into the
arena Of Congressional discussion. The

have not confidence enough in Buchanan
to be disposed to trust him with men or
money, and he asks for both.
The States this evening protests against
the Presidents recommendation of what
it calls the exploded theory of specific du-
ties instead of the Democratic system of
ad velorum duties. But though the States
grumbles, it has committed itself to Blu
chanan and will have to swallow Ns nos
trums, however nauseous.
The prospect is that the discussion of
the agitating topics opened by the Presi-
dent will consume so much of the session
as to leave little, for practical lbu ,iness.
The French and English Legislations
manifest lively interest in the Spanish
American part of the Message. Lord Ma
pier had long interview with Mr.. Cass,
the Secretary of State, to-day.
Certain influential Administration Sen
ators have in contemplation stringent
bill for suppressing pOlygamy in Utah.
Their object is TO embarrass Douglas and

be attempted when the Utah Land ques-

The unusual and almost unprecedented
step adjourning Congress over the second
day of the short session, ostensibly for the
purpose of arranging the Committees, was
really taken In order to consult and decide
upon line of policy and to keep green
horns and undiciplined mepbers of the
party from committing themselves TO
wrong views -
Douglas stock has fallen RAPIDLY since
the Virginia State Convention pronounce
so decisively against him.
The President processes to feel great in
dignation at the New York Herolds trick
cry about the message. He even talks of
ordering an examination into the affair
Judge Eckles had an interview with the
President last night on the subject of the
suppression of polygamy in Utah, and
on the other affairs of that Territory. The
President did not indicate what course he
will take in the matter. Gen. Cass is un-
derstood to be favorably disposed to meas.
ures for the suppression of polygamy.
Tho Democrats have decided to force
the Oregon bill through the House with
out discussion, and without any Kansas
addition to it, There will be hot con.
