they decide the Legislature in favor of the Free
State party Calhoun is now determined 10 issue

in Lecompton.
REGARDING the election of State officers, he pro-
noses delivering the returns to the State Legiaa-
ture. whenever assembled, to be proclaimed Off
cially.
Calhoun had correspondence with Douglas
concerning his supposed mputatiOns upon him in
the course of the Senate debate; but after salts
factory explanation, called on Saturday, and wen
over all the questions, both personal and political
now involved.
Jack Henderson is here with copy of the de
bates and journal of the Lecompton Convention
which he would like Congress to publish. The
Administration does not feel anxious to enlist hi
services any further.
Dir. Dix makes special point of retaining Mr
yesey as Consul at Havre asking nothing else.
The Southern Senators insist that LecomptOn
shall pass without concession of any kird They
feel that they have the power and mean to exer-
else it.
Mr.. Dxon's speech, reviewing the course OF the
South in violating compromise and maintaining
that higher principles than any sectional issue were
involved in the present controversy, such as prin-
cples of right and selfgovernment, was well re-
ceiyed in the Senate and extorted congratulations
from the other side for its fair and manly spirit.
Mr.. Douglas was again defeated in the attempt
to call up his resolution asking for Kansas informa-
ton from the President. Mr. Mason said that if
the Senate agreed to consider it, he should move
to lay it upon the table, without assigning any
reason. The purpose is evidently to garrote
Douglas
Regent Calhoun has not had a conference with
The President yet.
From Oar Oaon Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Feb. 9, 1853.
The debate in the Senate on the Army bill was
quite animated Messrs. Dixon Conn and Foot
Vt. )made good speeches against it. Messrs. Pugh
(Ohio) and Benjamin (La.) declared strongly
against increasing the Army. Other Democratic
Senator's coincide with them, and it seems certain
that no increase will be voted, except in the form Of
volunteers.
The Administration considers the passage of Mr..
Harris's resolution defeat. The President has
abandoned bis intention of putting LecOmpton
through "naked," as his phrase was. A COM
promise will be tried.
The Speaker did not announce the Select Com
miitee on the Message and LecomptOn to-day nor
will he make the announcement tomorrow; he has
not vet made his selections.
The report that Regent Calhoun will now count
in the Free State men in Kansas seems to be well
founded.
