WASHINGTON NEWS.
WAsnryGruN CRY, May 4th, 1855.
DEAR CoL.:-I steal = moment to write you perhaps
the last letter this Session. It is Of congrat
ulaton that The Kansas question has been disposed
Of by Congress-. For the last four years it has been
ton which has almost pruciptatsd the country into
civil war.
The mode adopted by Congress for the adjustment
Of this long pending question will doubtless be warmly
received by the country.
The Bill reported by the joint Committee Of the
two Houses supported nos only chcerfully, but
with enthusiasm by overy friend Of the Leeompton
and Quitman. The fYo Southern Know Notbings
who voted against it have been acting with the Black
Republicans from the beginning. They arc Semi
Black Republicans any way! So tboro were roally

Gilmer, Of North Carolina, ono Of tho Six Southern
Americans who voted for the Montgomery Crttendon
Amendment, supported tho Bill. Nino members from
the North heretofore classed douglas Democrats"

Jonos, Of Pa, Lawrence, Of Conn.,, Hail. Cockerilo,
Groosbcck and Pcndleton, Of Ohio, and English and
Forby Of Indiana

Of the Resolution under which tho Committee Of Con-
ference raised He is just tho object of tho
most unmeasured abuse by tho Black Republicans,
both in and out Of Congress- This certainly conclu
siye proof that he has rendered efficient service in
settling this question, which was tho only political
stock in trade which the Black Republicans had. Mr.
English deserves the thanks Of the country for his
patriotic exortions in this adjustment.
The Black Republicans fsttercd themselves that
hey would find permanent allies in Douga: and all
If his anti -Lecompton Democratic followers, but in
his they badly Sold predict, before this session
closes, they will be denouncing Douglas fcrcey as
hoy arc abusing English and venture to say,
will be long time before Douglas will take issue
pon great question with the National Democratic
Party. The issue which be raised on Lscompton was
