Remarks Of Mr.. Hickman, OF Penn

of Mr.. Hickman, OF Penn
sylvania, (Democrat,) Ia the House,
on the Kansas policy Of the Admin.
istration.
Mr.. Hickman said that he was
compelled to dissent from the views
of the Presi lent or the Kansas ques-
tion, but the opposition to the Presi.
dents treatment of Kansas affairs
did not arise from tho objection to
slavery, bnt was based on q FONDA.
ton more plainly understood, name.
ly, a violation OF the declared prin.
ciples in the Kansas. Nebraska act.
To ask him to support the Lecomp-
ton Constitution would be to insuli
him by casting suspicion upon his
Integrity. He might stand alono.
but he would not part with his free
thoughts for q thone. Ilc know that
different motives would be attribu.
ted to him. II his conduct bearing
Immediately or orremotely upon South.
ern institutions should subjact him to
tho anathemas OF his Southern
friends, so be it. If the attempt
made to force the Lecompton Con.
stitution on an unwilling people by
force or fraud, woulJ induce them
to resist it, he would grant them the
exercise Of their rights in their full.
ness, conferred by the pure law Of
liberty. This was the golden and
the constitutional rule whicI, are
alike both Tor individuals and States.
IIo strongly denounced the frauds
and impositiohs upon the people Of
Kansas by having slavery fastened
upon them in bold defiance of their
sacred rights. .a..-
In alluding to the Presidents
Message, he said he always know
that Slavery was \ peculiar institu.
|tion, but never knew that It embod.
led all tho domestic institutions on
which, by the as.Nebraska law,
tho people were to be perfectly free
to act in their own way. This doc
trine Of Popular Sovereignty is not
ss popular as it was. 1t formerly
was supposed to mean something
giving the people power over all their
domestic institutions; but now, as
thought by tho President, it is To bo
sveated down to the contemplate
dimensions as to whether they shall
hold q negro in bonds or not. This
is all the extent of Popular Sow
ereignty. .a ~,
Tho case, however, is worse. II
is a false pretense. The question Of
slavery could not be voted upon, be.
cause. to prove so, the Lecomptou
Constitution would renIer this i'm
possible for the reason that IL has
declared that slavery shall no. be ID
terfcrred with rs it now exists; ana
it now exists in Kansas, just as irm-
ly as in South Carolina. That ,vss
the first time that he had learned
that that is . free State where no.

shall not be preserved. % Were Qsw.

MEssRs. EDrroRs The Gazette of
the 9th inst. says -
We publish today another account ofths
muss in Congress. We are glad to see hat
it does not differ from the first, in the fact
that Grow knocked Keith Down.
There's for you! The organ Of the
niger worshippers has for once told
the truth. The editor OF that delect-
able sheet, the Gazette, undoubtedly is
glad that Grow Knocked Keitt down.
Why! Because Mr.. Keitt Is a South.
erncr. Any body in the opinion Of the
Gazette that comes south of Mason r
Dixon's line ought to be knocked
down-particulary if they believe in
supporting and unfolding the Consti-
tuition of the United States. Times
arc wonderfully changed since Charley
Sumner got bis head punched by Brooks
Then the howl that went up from the
Abolition pressthroughout the country,
was excruciatiug, at the scandulous pro-
ceedings in Congress, Converting the
Capitol into q fighting club disgrace
ing the country 'demoralizing the peo-
pie etc. etc. But when Keitt got
knocked down by Grow,the little william
Of the Gazette is glad Of it. and
cackles and clucks over it Justify
However, consistency, dccency or sny-
thing pertaining to manliness or up
rightness is not to be expected from
those who roll in the scum and filth of
niggerism--The Gazette is only true
tO its instincts. ~

EMERsoN's MAGAZINE VS.. The COSMOPOLITAN
ART AssooIArIos.-Messrs. Appleton Oak
smith and Seba Smith, owners and ~proprie-
tors of Emsrsom's Magazine and Putnam's
Monthly, have commenced legal proceed
ings against the Cosmopolitan Art Ass"cia-
ton, for an alleged violation Of an agree
ment. The plaintiffs state that at various
times, between July LIST, 1857, and June 90.
1883, the defendants subscribed for, and
agreed to take and receive from the plain
tiffs 9O6 copies of the said Magazine, for
the period Of one year from the respective
dates of such subscription, and for which
they agreed to pay the plaintiffs the sum Of
81. SO cents for each copy SO subscribed for,
in advance, and that the amount agreed to
be paid by the defendants was 81 ,5S2 So
Also, that the defendants agreed to cub
scribe for 5000 Of their monthly publica-
ton for 1858, and that they now refuse to
act in accordance with their agreement
The ease was brought before Judge Suther
land. when the defendants gave the required
security. and the case will now take the
proper legal course. 1t is said that altho'
the association owns a great deal of valua-
BILE property, the recent crisis effected the
yearly subscription list very seriously SO
much 90. that they have been compelled to
postpone the annual distribution Of pictures
until March 25th, 1858.

chants are very busily engaged in cutting

II 10 we'll known that the chief part
Of Rock Island il still claimed by
Government--that only about two hun
drcd Of the nearly one thousand acres
within it, boundaries are held by pri-
vate individuals under an u%ndisputed
title. 1t is q charming peice of ground,
generally covered with timber, lying
high above the most swollen stage Of
the Mississippi, and is destined At no
distant day to be Of great value. In
our opinion, - we'll - that Of many
other, it Is exactly the spot for q
National Armory. The North West
has long claimed such Al institution,
and the growing interests ofthis region
demand, that We should not be leth-
argic in our movements respecting q
proper location, when the natural
position Of and the Government rela-
tions to, this island, 30 admirably har-
monies to make it the chosen spot
Situated upon our noble river, easily
accessible for St. Louis and Chicago,
and with the means Of rapid commune
cation in every direction at hand, Gov.
eminent work would be more properly
situated on Rock Island than at
Springfield or Harper's Ferry. W.
have an abundant supply of coal for
manufacturing purposes, q heavy and
increasug population about the foot Of
the Upper rapids and a spirit of enter
prise commensurate with our position.
W. have never been tho recipient of
National favors in any respect, and
, taking all circumstances into considera-
ton, feel that We . claim for Rock
Island, that kind of q consideration at
headquarters, which should result in
it, adoption as the site Of an extensive
Armory. Would it not be we'll to
have petitions to that effect sent to our
Representatives in Congress, heavily
signed not only here, but in the neigh
boruig cities Of Rock Island and
I Moline! We can hardly conceive that
any one should fail to wish that the
1sland now lying comparatively useless,
should be made to rcsound with the
hum Of business, and give forth the ele.
ments Of vitality. W. invite our con-
temporaries to move with us in the
matter at this time, not only in Daven-
port but on the opposite shore Of the
river. In hoping for al suspicious re.
suit to . movement calculated to be 80
benefcial:,to..our growing citiea.we shall

that the notion originated in our office
