is the head of family and citizen of the United States

of the public domain upon condition OF occupancy and

passage of this bill at considerable length.
In the House. the bill making appropriations for sun
dry civil expenses of the for the coming fiscal
year was finally passed The appropriation of one mil
lion of dollars for the Capitol extension stricken out
The House then proceeded to consider resolution re-
ported by the Committee of Elections admitting the
members from the State Of Minnesota upon the condition
that such admission shall not preclude the right of any
person hereafter to contest their seats 1t was evidently
the desire of the House to act upon this resolution at
once the previous question was sustained by vote OF

usual hostility to whatever is the will Of the majority
prevented this by datory motions

MINNESOTA AND THE BLACK REPUBLICAN FAC
TTONISTS

1t has been so often asserted that the southern
people were naughty, insolent, overbearing and
selfish in all our federal relations, that we doubt
not, thousands have come to believe it. This
would be all well enough or at least endura-
BILE, if it were not almost certain to DO accom-
panied by extreme professions of devotion the
part of the republicans to northern interests. On
the subject of the admission of States into the
Union, exhibited by the legislation of this session,
have bit of practical test worth all the theories
in the world Kansas came to Congress with con-
stitution recognising slavery every republican voted
against her admission, and set up fearful howl
over the act Minnesota came next, with a
free constitution, aud the great body Of the
northern and southern democrats voted to receive
her into the Union precisely as they had voted
in the case of Kansas. The latter State having
been Internationally admitted under the constitu
ton, then find most factious and violent effort
made the part of the republicans to prevent the
members of Congress sent here bya northern free
State constituency from taking their seats. What
does all this mean? Is there no life for the abo
tionists but that Of agitation and alarm AT least
they should longer, with the records before them

THE ACK-REPUBLICANS AND THE NEWLY AID
MITTED STATES.

MITTED STATES. It
The spirit Of inconsistency and stupidity seems to
have taken possession of the black-republcan party
during the present session of Congress. Witness
their action the subject Of admitting Kansas and
Of admitting Minnesota and Oregon. Would any
body have believed before the session began that
this peculiarly freeso party, organized for the pur
pose of establishing ree-so ascendency in the fed
eral government and of putting down the sIaveocracy
would be found asserting to the admission of slave
State and opposing the admission of two free States
Is theirs another instance of the truth of the adage
whom the immortal Gods wish to destroy they first
make mad. Itseems to us to be smpletonisn rather
than madness which actuates these men. What are
their constituents at home likely to think of their
conduct? a5t iz.f rHrs COOS.
We have seen the whole black republican party
10 Congress ground their arms during the present
session and surrender at discretion to the doctrine
of popular sovereignty. Nay, we have seen them
enlistng in the service of that doctrine and taking
the administration and democratic party to task
for in6delity to it, They have not only surren-
dered to popular sovereignty, but they have taken
up arms in its behalf. Such has been the sincerity
and funess of their devotion to the doctrine of pop
uar sovereignty that they have voted for the admis
sion of new State with pro-slavery constitution,
provided only that the multitude of sins in that con-
stitution be washed out by the cleansing grace of
popular VOTE Such is their devotion to
popular sovereignty that they willing to endorse
slavery ITSELF if it be but sanctiied by the beatic
baptism Of popular-sovereignty vote.
But they have not stopped with espousing popu-
lar sovereignty and voting in slave State under its
saving grace. They have not merely taken slavery
to their bosom; but they have apostatized from free
dom, and repudated her most wantoaiy and cruelty
In each instance in which freedom has come to the
doors Of Congress to introduce new daughter
and handmaiden into the republican family what
have these backslders done but endsavored to drive
her ruthlessy from the Capitol Indeed if the DEM
ocratc party, moved by that catholic and generous
spirit which ever actuates tho democratic heart had
not itself espoused the Of those beautiful dam
sels they would have been turned away from the
girls who brought no oil in their lamps Apos-
Ate blackrepublicans Of Congress, what viii their
constituents say to them when they shall have return

and popular sovereignty until their heads turned
and their principles have been entirely subverted
and they have brutaly Tilted the chaste virgins Of

COL. THOMAS L. KANE.

We deem it due to this gentleman to state that
the reports in circulation that he is Mormon are
not only unfounded but ridiculous. He is a worthy
brother Of the late lamented Dr. Kane possessing his
energetic and benevolent character He and his
family universally respected in Philadelphia,
where they best known. His journey to Salt
Lake as private individual was undertaken from
motives Of pure benevolence and in the hope that
he might be instrumental in inducing the Mormons
to submit to the constitution and the laws, and thus
spare the effusion of blood.

/, RECRUITING FOR A NEW PARTY.

The process Of recruiting for the new party is So
crety but actively going on. 1t is duty to re-
cord the political events of tho day, and this work
while it is one Of extreme deicacy and of more or
less difficulty, is nevertheless exceedingly interest
ing We are told everywhere by the republicans
that in the recent Kansas controversy, upon the
merits of the question, they have secured great adj
vantages-that, indeed, tho democracy have lost
everything and they have gained everything 1t is
certainly little remarkable that triumphant party.
just when its strength and power had eliminated,
should propose to 60 into liquidation, and set to
work upon system of reconstruction, 80 as to in.

factions. If the republicans are really strong and
have 1.-THE Of the confidence they express it seems
to us to be the dlest thing in the world to take in
new partners just at the moment when they need no
assistance Granting, however, that they are moved
for once by asprit of magnanimity, we are still un
able to account for their Willingness to surrender
the very name under which they have achieved their
success. But we must not forget that up to this
hour their triumph bears strong resemblance to
the proclamations issusd by the rival chiefs who so
CALAMITY fight the battles of neghboring repub-
lie. They are in a minority in both branches Of
Congress-, and they were badly defeated at the pres
dental election Of 1856. Their success now is be-
fore the battle and in this way we do not remem-
Der when the democracy have not been overwhelmed
with the most ignominious defeat AZ
The Plan at present adopted is to create an Or
position Party to enlarge the platform 90 a. to make
it inviting to the Americans North snd South and
broad enough to accommodate those democratic who
voted against the conference bill. This arrangement
is to be so made that each particular section and in
terest shall be able to claim special for
its own opinions. In order to effect this end. the
anti-slavery of the North have agreed not only
to make no declaration Of principles but TO soften
down their expressions Of hostility to the slave oil
garehy" Hence we may now account for the lull
exhibited by the negro press of the North, while
the work of coquetting with Humphrey Marshall and
his operate troop of South Americana and few
northern dcmocratsi is going on. Should this scheme
fail, the republicans viii fall back on their last years
