ten 10 doomed is verified by pumeerIsss slgnrhcin'
Indications here. The Democracy Of Pennsylvania
10 hopeessly divided on this question, and the enc
ui~s Of Lecompton are in the ascendant. L, was
well known previous to Gov. Packers inaugural
that the Congressional delegation were rea'y 70 ~
ever almost in a body 10 the support OF MI Doug
ks. Great efforts were made to iaddcesthe "o'-
erpor 20 ignore the subject altogether, II be csud
sot ipdsrse il. Mr. Bucbansns hand was visible
h,oysbout He sent Attorney General Black 70
Harrisburg for the express purpose OF obtaining an
endorsement of LecOmp tOn; 90 you see from tnIs
mt whore the President stands even now. Other
string, were pulled TO produce the same result.
Pint in opposition 70 this there was Forney and d
treat force in the Legislature, all backing up the
Governor 10 sustain the Douglas movement. They
sssceeded in accomplishing their object Its now
well ascertained that nearly all the Democratic
Representatives from this State will vote against IT,
Even The Southern Monitor, the organ of one wing
Of the faithful, has caved in bodily, and says IN lls
kst issue that Ito make Kansas Slave STATE
"apder such circumstances, would be oppressive
"and Infamous" and admits that for this express
non Of ia convictions ait is possible we shall be
denounced by some of our most ultra Southern
"eotemporaries and they will say The Mon1or has
ceased 10 be a Southern organ IN the NORTH.
There is caving in with vengeance; 30 you see
every shade of the Democracy is gravitating toward
the support of Douglas when the great struggle
ONES up in Congress.
Now. there is another phase in the programme of
ibe LecomptOn swinde, which has been only par
tally foreshadowed by the newspapers. As it is the
intention of the fre-eaters, led on by Senator
Hunter, to drive that Constitution through Con-
rress at all hazards it will there be stubbOrnly
resisted that defeat is certain. This too, notwth
ffandDg men here who are high in the confidence O
Mr. Buchanan assert that It viii pass by ma Orty
cftwenty votes When the defeat comes the ire
eaters intend to rise and leave their seats and they
hope 10 move of in numbers sufficient to deprive
the House Of quorum-thus stopping the ma
ehinery Of Government They will remain out Of
their seats until the Legislatures Of their sew
eral States are called together, and will be reg
ulated az to resumDg them by the instructions
received from those Legislatures. In cOnhrma-
ton Of this, the Legislature of Alabama has
passed resolutions unanimously, authorizing the
Governor TO call that body together if Congress
refuses TO admit Kansas with the Lecompton Con-
sttution. Then the extraordinary fact OF there
being two British Ministers at Washington at the
same time, is accounted for by this programme.
A division of the Union is intended a Southern
Confederacy is to be established, and Sir William
Ouseley is the medium through whom whatever
British aid and comfort may be necessary to secure
the dismefhberment is to pass. England desires
treaty with the new Republic by which she may
m0nopolize the supply of cotton, and will pay any
price in ships, diplomacy and treasure to secure
the monopoly. All this is arranged on both
sides. The British Government dare not show its
hand in the seheme; hence Lord Napier is officially
disconnected with it, but the aristOcracy is repre-
scented through Sir William Ouseley. This dis
memberment is the true object of his mysterious
mission, and the refusal to force Slavery on Kfsas
is to be used the long desired pretext for seces
sion. Some glimmerings of this reasonable scheme
have already appeared in the newspapers, some OF
which have even gone 40 far to urge the South to
oonsummate it, and they Northern Journals, too.
Eyents are ripening for this crisis. You notice that
there are no more threats of dlsuniOn no more
bravsdo. The programme has undergone change;
clustering is to be abandoned, aud action substl-
tsfted. Mr.. Hunter is fomenting this finale, and
Gov Wise exerting himself TO preventt. The plot
will fail most signaly; but it will, nevertheless, be
tried unless some unexpected damper to the cOur-
age of the conspiratOrs should be given by the con-
SANITY varying phases of the Kansas question. III
10 barely possible that Mr.. Buchanan may yet be
compelled to conquer uniOn since his imbecilty ls
too marked to enable him to maintain 1t peaceabiy
But we shall see-great events are yet 10 come.
The overwhelming Free-Soi vote OH the 4th inst. ls
Q blow that makes people stagger, whose backbone
was considered infexible.
MANY wears ago a worthy man set up in Philadel-
phia the business of keeping ready-rnade coffin

thrilled the community when his advertisements
were seen. Almost everybody denounced him, and
he was even shot at in the street. The innovation
on old habits was intolerab!e But he went 6H
corsgeously outhyed the persecution, did great
business, grew rich, and lives in a SD, 900
house in Arch street. Everybody patronizes the
seady made coffin warehouses. After him came
man who undertook the selling of pies from
wagon calling, like the milkman, from door to door.
But the people fairly booted at the perambulatng
pie-man. Lsdies who would buy sausages any
where, repudiated the idea of buying ready-msde
pies. But the pie-man also persevered, and
you may now see his wagon delivering sup
plies at the most fashionable houses. 1t is
thus with every great inroad upon old habits. The
Mechanical Bakery is now going through the same
category Of objection and opposition. The bakers
are positively furious against it. They have an as
sociaton sworn to put it down. They say the bread
made there is villanOus, and show loayes of their
own making musty and black, which they tell their
customers came from the steam bakery. One baker
declares that certain woman who bought aud ate
. loaf of the new bread has never had we'll day
since. Another, that il is no better than sswdust.
AL conceivable tricks are practced to induce the
public to refuse ii. In some cases they have sue
ceeded, but they viii fail generally, aud in the end
the new bread will become popular as the ready
made cofins But is not this sort of opposition,
general thing, sure indication of success in the
end
Our first city passenger railroad having cut loose
from litigation, Is now fairly under way, running
handsome new cars over track ten miles long, aud
70 the immense satisfaction of the people who
crowd themselves into the cars to see how il feels.
Everybody is highly pleased at this introduction of
great New-fork institution, and it is amusing to
see how the people collect at the street corners TO
witness the passage of car. Seats sre provided
for "a passengers, but the novelty of the thing
creates so great rush that three times the proper
number are generally fnnnl ins;An IT, q
