" ". BRoHN, Esq.-Dear Sir:-Sinee tho
English sainlle has taken Kansas out Of Con-
gress and sent it t. kickapoo, The two branch
es seem disposed 10 go to work and dispatel,

iourn on the Tth of june: but we cannot pos-
sIbly transact near all the business that has
eumulated on cur calendar and III oar conIEit-
tees, 10 say nathing Of attending 10 those great
aaitonal interests, which aoE so urgently de

tue south or tsia administration TO do anything
towards restoring The country once more ts
trade and democracy prc now ono ana the same
thing. As for protecting aud encouraging
American labor, American enterprise, Amer-
cBE commerce, agriculture aad manufacturers,
the Democracy, which includes the Admins
tration, had ra her see every forge fire extin-
guished, every manufactory spindle aud loeu
standing idle, every ship lying rotting al our

our avn manufactures, and notwithstanding ii
was eyidaDtly necessary to do this to project
the revenue against frauds, this measure was
objected to By tie leading member OF the Com

party in power, which is committed to the pro-
seetive policy, that party which passed the
Tariff Of AZ, which ihe Democraep wiped cut

we may expect period Of prosperity to foi-
low, such as followed the passage OF that Tai
