by which the substance is to be lost to the
people.
| Mr.. Wilson paid a nigh compliment to
Mr.. Douglas for his manly advocacy of the
great principles of the Nebraska Bill, in
opposition to the. dictates of the Slave
| power.
For this the Senator from Illinois has
been called Black Republican.
Any man was SO called, who refused to
support this last inquity this last crowning
act of infamy. No matter if his whole life
has been devoted TO the interests of Slavery.
i if he paused now and refused to assent to
these palpabie frauds, he was to be chrushed
out of the party.
Mr.. Brown ot Mississippi, concurred most
cordially in the Message, and said that sell
dom had he read document of the same
| length from which he found SO little to dis
sent There could be but two opinions rel
atiye 10 that paper, those entertained by ma
tienal men of all parties on the one side
and those entertained by sectional men on
the other. He never expected that the
Senator frotHss Massachusetts would concur
in the arguments aud conclusions of na-
| tionaI President, whether he might be
Democrat, American or Wing. Nothing
but sectional Repubiicanism would meet
| with the appreciation of that Senator who
had made a mistake in supposiDg that
speeches, like old wine, would improve with
age. For his own part he loved old friends
and old wine in a moderate degree, laugh
teri and he reyerenced old age, but he
abhorred an old speech delivered from year
tb tI.a, I.I
Instead of proceeding in his remarks, he
| would yield the fuor if the question could
be taken ON reference of the Mes
sage.
Mr.. Fessenden said that he wished to
express his views, but could not promise
that his speech would be very short one
Mr.. Brown resumed. In what he had to
say he did not expect to convince those Oh
the other side of the question. Like Eph-
rain, they were joined to their idols, and he
| would let them alone.
He then proceeded to present a sole con-
sideraton to the minds of his political
frie nds, which might, perhaps. influence
| them if they entertained any doubt US to
the course which they ought 10 pursue, and
in the course Of his remarks said that the
Republican party had not shadow OF ex-
| istence outside of the non -slaveholding
States, and that if it succeeded in its efforts
| to break up the National Democratic party.
| it was absolutely certain that the country
would be divided into two sectional parties.
In that event the Union would be drawn
asunder; aud this was us certain as the sun
rose this morning and will set tonight.
Mr. Brown was about to reply 10 the
former remarks of Mr.. Douglas, when Mr..
Seward said that he was quite sure ref
erence could not be taken this evening,
and thought that they had better adjourn,
SO that they could digest what the Senator
from Mississippi had said to-day, and hear
the remainder OF his speech Tomorrow.
After short Executive session, the
Senate adjourned.

minded Us of a gay wedding party, consist
ing OF two newly married couple. and a
large number of friends, who staid day or
two at the Walnut street House, few weeks
ago. They were the gayest of the gay, and
the merry laugh of the ladies could Se heard
ringing through the halls as though No shad-
ow of care had ever passed between them
and perfect happiness. In dancing, music
and songs, sparkling wines, and a feast of
good things the party passed three days, and
returned again to the sober realities of every
SAY life. Amongst the gayest OF the party
was Mrs. Pegs. After her return home
her husband soon sckened and died, and a
house of mourning, indeed, was the home of
the fair young bride. The dethronement Of
reason followed, and while laboring nnderaH
aberration of mind, she left her fathers house
on Saturday, and put end to an existence
that had no charms beyond the early buried
love. From the bridal to the grave is oft,
indeed, but single step!.-[Ciu Gaz.

ut Indianapolis on Tuesday, exceeded in
numbers and enthusinsmtheh highest expecta-
tons Of those who proposed it. Itwas larger
than the Eighth of January Convention, and
all its proceedings were conducted with great
unanimity and good feeling. A broad and
significant Anti-Lecompton platform was
adopted unanimously. Judge Douglas was
fully endorsed and complimented. The State
Sentinel was repudiatsd as the Democratic
organ-its recent course denounced, and
measures were taken to establish new paper
that would express the sentiments of the
party. A spirited letter was read from Gov.
Wise cheering them on. A Convention Of
all the Northwestern States was proposed tc
be held at Chicago at an early day, and
Committee of correspondence was appointed
on the subject. A State COMMITTEES was APP

FROM UrAH.-The Mail from the Utah
army reached independence, No., on the 10th.
1t brings intelligence to the 18th of Janu-
airy. The weather on the route had been
very severe, and the snow was from ono to
six feet deep. There was no news Of any
moment Mt the camp. The troops were in
good spirits, and performing the duties in
eumbent upon them, earnestly wishing for
good weather and reinforcements, so as to
make descent upon Salt Lake City. From
some Mormon prisoners and struggling Utah
Indians, the commandant at the Post was
well advised Of the movements of the Saints
and from all that can be gathered, active
preparations are being made for resistance IN
the Spring to the United States forces. rhs
municipal regulations are very stringent, ant
suspicion fastens npon every one the least in
clined to favor the schemes Of Col. johnson
or any of the United States officers. Gov
Cum ming is IN the daily performance Of thu
duties of his Office, SO far as it is in his power

gion, seem to enjoy the pleasures Of eaml

CoSsIsrENoY.-The State Journal annoys
the State Seminal by collating its doctrines
of one month with those of another. The
following is one Of the fruits Of its labors.
In December the Seminal made the following
declarations:
"The great body of the Democracy of the
North utterly repudiate and condemn the ac-
ton of the Lecompton Convention. 1t can
not be approved without doing violcnce to
justice, to right, and to the principles of the
party in power. 1t is not only unfair, and a
breach Of plighted faith, but unmamy to at
tempt even to force the constitution of this
faction upon the people to whom fair dealing
has been p edged, and legal and fair ex-
preston Of their will been guaranteed"
In January the following were its views.
"The conservative, loyal, and law abiding
citizens Of the country who sincerely desire
its welfare above any personal considerations
will sustain the admission of Kansas under
the Lecompton Constitution. That act viii
at once terminate Kansas troubles and Kan
sas agitations."

A SCENE IN OLD vRerSIA.-The follow
ing item is from a Wheeling paper. We
agree with the Louisville Democrat in saying
that if the scene was located anywhere save in
the Old Dominion, we should doubt its truth.
As it is, we credit the tale fully.
We saw yesterday, going up towards the
upper ferry, team of four animals-a horse
pony, mule and q bull. The horse had
the heaves, the pony was blind, the mule was
lame, and the bull had no provision for fy
time. In the wagon, which was an extraor-
binary one, there sat a white man, crippled
nigger, and tame skunk frailly bound with
o wisp Of straw. The white man held the
lines, the team held its own, ard the niggel
held the skunk, and they all moved forward

~ 1t would appear that the great problem
ferial navigation has at length been solved.
A French machinist has perfected an erial
ship, at q cost of 100000 francs, and made a
voyage to Algiers, in Africa, and back, a
distance Of 1900 miles from his starting
point. The average speed was almost 100
miles an honr, the voyage out occupying
eighteen hours, and the return sixteen hours.
M. Gavarni is to make the attempt from
IIavre to the city of New York, as soon as he
has further tested the character Of his inven-
ton by few short trips over the Mediterra-
mean and its neighboring provinces. The
time consumed from Havre to New York
would be bat thirty hours, breakfasting at
the former city and supping at New York the
evening Of the next day.

DEAR JOURNAL: Saturday last was the day
appointed for the great Republican Mass
Convention. Well, Saturday came, and the
faithful, (wl~s there were) met at the Coart
House. After the usual deliberations, such
as appointing Committees, &C., Hon. o. P.
Morton was called upon for aspeech, and dis
coursed in his usual style. He took the po-
sition and said that it was the position of the
Republican party in 1856 as well as non, that
Congress has the right to legislate for ter
ritory while it remained q territory, but that
the people had the right to make their own
laws. His endeavor was mainly to harmon
lie that position Of the Republican party non
with that of the Republican party in 1856,
but in our opinion it was complete failure.
A long list of resolutions Cent and dried Of
course,) was presented and passed unani-
mously; and one among the most prominent
resolved that white man scss superior to a
Segro! A resolution was offered endorsing
the Republican organ of this city, which met
with one long and loud no-which friend
Hudson did not relish as we'll as some others.
Last night great Levee came off at Nation

The ARMY BlLL-The vote of Mr.. Sew.
in the Senate upon the Bill for adding
thirty new companies-composed Of "a
men and three officers each-to our pre-
sent standing army, excites every where
great surprise. 1t was avowed to be a
favorite administration measure. But it
was opposed by many Of the leading
democrats as unnecessary-because vol-
unteers were better troops for the emer-
gencies that might make o larger force
necessary-that the enlargement of the
standing army was in opposition to the
theory Of the government, and the senti-
ments of the people; it was increasing
the patronage of the executive, and the
tendency to Capitalization which marks
the course of the government. In the
test vote upon the question, the bill was
carried by one majority, Mr.. Seward
voting for the bill with the supporters o
the administration. 1t is extraordinary
that while large number Of gentlemen
from the Administration side Of the
chamber could not swallow the PROPOSE
ton of permanent enlargement, mai
holding Mr.. Stewards position should ad
vocate it, especially considering tn
state of things in Kansas. Mr.. Seward
is cutting himself lose from Republican
ism, and preparing for movement, tn
object of which is not yet apparent, eithe
to friends or opponents. The bill give
the President the appointment of on
hundred officers in the amy.
