The Democracy of MUscatine.

Most of our Democratic friends heroa'Outs
profess to sus; ain Douglas in his position on
the Lecomptou Constitution. bnt they are
afraid to give public expression to their sem
tilncnts in meeting. They excuse them
selves by saying it isn't rsquired-won't do
any good, &c. 1t is reasonably suspected
Mat they are afraid to commit themselves
before knowing which faction is to be the
party hereafter, and wish to hold themselves
in reserve to join the strongest side. Such
a policy is contemplate and unworthy Of
men. The following appeal to the anti-le-
compton Democrats Ct the country, from
Senator Douglas himself, we publish for the
consideration of his particular admirers III
and about Muscatne. 1t was originally al
dressed to the anti-Lecompton men Of New
York
"The time has now arrived when the
Democracy of the whole country should hold
meeting, in the cities, towns and counties,
and proclaim, in tones that command respect.
their devotion to and determination to sus-
tain and carry ont in good faith the great
principles of self government which lie at
the foundations of al free institutions, and
which proclaim their determined aud un-
yielding hostility to the contamination OF a
scheme SO monstrous as to force con>titu.
ton at the point of the bayonet down the
threats OF All unwilling people.

Dies MONIES IMPRoyEMENT.-The opinion
of the Attorney General in regard to the
proposed arrangement between the State
and the Des Moines Improvement Company,
gives a succinct and lucid history of the ac-
ton of Congress, the State. its Agents and
the Company, that will well repay perusal.
1t will be seen that Mr.. Rice approves of the
proposed arrangement, and regards it as
consistent with the best interests Of the
State. He is far from satisfied with the past
action of the Company, but the errors of
the past cannot be retrieved, and he regards
as the wisest policy of the State, to save
what remains of the magnificent grant, and
use it, if possible, to accomplish for the Des
Moines Valley what was contemplated by
Congress. Des Moines Citizen.

A DoUGLAs OPINION ON THE CHANCES Of
LECoMPToN.-A Washington letter in the
Times, the home organ of Senator Douglas,
has this significant paragraph in regard to
the Lecompton scheme
Flppant letter-writers and journalists,
whose pens are employed in the interests Of
Lecompton, keep asserting that the admission
of Kansas under the unsubmitted Constitu-
ton is fixed fact, thing already as good
as accomplished, that the Administration
can and will press it through Congress i'm
mediately. Letnot the public be humbugged
by these assertions. Winter ,UiH close, and
Spring caH come and go, and Summer, too,
for that matter, before the a6om.nation will
haze pissed tie Senate. The opposition will
dispute every inch of ground. The debate
will be the most scorching which ever took
place in Congress. predict that before it
is closed the most violent Lecomptonist will
be ready and willing to withdraw from the
conflict. The issue which will be presented
to the American people will awaken the
popular indignation to a height which will
make it uncomfortable to face.

TIE NEWS,

Late arrivals at St Louis, from Kansas
| state that the election for calling new
Constitutional Convention, on the 9eh inst,
authorized by the Legislature, passed off
quietly. The number OF votes Ioled is es-
| tlnated at 5000 or 10000. The enrolment
of the militia is still proceeding, notwith-
standing the proclamation Of Gov. Denver
against it. Babe, ok, the ant-Topeka candi-
date, was elected Mayer of Lawrence by a
large majority. Everything quiet at Fort
Scott.
CoNaEEss,-March l5h--Mr. Wade con
tlnued his remarks on the Kansas question
in the Senate, in his usually energetic man
ner. lie declared that the people will settle
the matter in three days, if permitted. Say
to the people, choose your own Constitution,
and in one hour there will be peace. The
opposite course will lead, God knows where.
Mr.. Mason then poke, and the debate was
continued at great length. The night session
of the Senate continued till morning, and
was unusually stormy. A passage occurred
between Messrs. Green and Cameron. Mr..
Green exhibited the most irritation of the
TWO, while Cameron was cool, and to an I'M
prejudiced locker on, seemed to have the
best side OF the case. The difficulty was a
mere interlude, and subsidized rs rapidly as it
arose. Quiet was soon restored. Numerous
motions to adjourn, &c, were made, the yeas
and nays called on each, lasting till 5
o'clock.
The dongs Of the House were not impor-
tant. Mr.. Letter introduced a resolution
calling on the President to inform the House
what members of the 33d Congress who vot-
ed for the Kansas Nebraska bill were subse
quently appointed to Office under the late or
present administration.
"A dispatch from Washington of the / 9th
says "Thc Republican Senators held a eau
Gus this morning to determine their course
on the Kansas bill. While they prefer that
the debate be conducted during the usual
hours, they will consent to evening sessions
if necessary, but they do not want Il vote
taken this week, being DESTROYS that Senator
Douglas shall be heard on Monday next
He is too i'll, it is supposed, to address the
Senate before that time
A dispatch from Washington of the 18th
says: "Mr. Douglas has been confined to
his room four days by sickness. The Re-
publcans badly want him to speak, but his
physicians say that he must not for some
days. Last night, when an unexpected at
tempt was made to force vote, he came into
the Senate ante-room to engineer his forces,
but did not take his seat. We learn that the
excitement that he was under has occasioned
q relapse, but he has determined to speak
this week.
CoNGREss.-Mlrch 17h.-Mr. Crittenden
made telling speech in the Senate against
the admission of Kansas. He denounced
the Lecompton Constitution, declaring that
it was not the Constitution of Kansas, but
only of the Convention that framed it. The
vote of 10000 against it on the 4th of Jan
uary shows that it is not the Constitution of
the people. Mr.. Trumbull also made a
strong speech against Lecompton.
Very little of Importance transpired in the
House.

DEATH BY BURN1SG.--A girl of IA years
Of age, famed Jane Shaw, was severely burn
ed at Elk river, Clinton county, one day last
week. She had gone to sleep while sitting
by the fire, and in that condition fell into it
which, of course, awakened her, but be-
fore she could extinguish the fire from her
clothes she was so badly burned that she
died in day or two afterwards.

however, realized the fact that it was himself

challenge and proved conclusively to unprej-

occasion, use language "casting odium"
upon the doctrines Of certain religious soci~
cites. We quoted his exact language, and
asked him to give it's true meaning if we

for the sufficient reason that we had drawn
