Mr.. FDITQR-

LECOMPTON FLOORED AGAIN
Prospect ofits Ultimate Defeat
From the n Y Tribune, 18th.

From the N. Y Tribune, 18th.
In Congress Yesterday the SENATE was
occupied with the Kansas question. Mr..
Chandler of Michigan spoke against Le-
compton, and Mr. Hunter of Virginia in
its favor Mr. Kennedy of Maryland de-
fined his position. Mr.. Wade of Ohio
got the floor, when the Senate adjourned.
The HOUSE made another point against
the Lecomptonites yesterday-Mr. Ten
nessee Jones's motion that Col. Harris 5
appeal from the decision of the Chair be
laid on the table haying been defeated By
the close vote of III to 100. Most of
the Pennsylvania Democrats who at first
went against Ieoompton have since been
whipped in, with two or three others, but
their places were made good yesterday
from another quarter. The subject now
goes over for days if not for weeks. and
we are strengthened in our hope that I.c-
compton will be baa en-.
Mr. Harris of Illinois rose and said that
in compliance with the views Of some Of
his friends who desired to have the quos-
tion presented in a simpler and more di-
rect form, he would vary his mode of ac-
ton, and accordingly withdrew his appeal

The Attempt to Rnasasur:aie Das-
potiSin at NTaskaiHgIo

Every person who has read the pro.
qecdings Of the present Congress, will re.
alize the necessity of r. j. Walkers ap-
peal to the people in every town, county,
and state" to "rise in their majesty to the
/ rescue"
The proceedings of Congress, and espe-
oially tho action Of the Kansas Special
Committee, shows that "tho Liberties of
the county are in danger" When this
Committee was appointed, Congress, "in.
struotcd them to inquire into all the facts
connected with the formation of said
:" Ueoompton) Constitution, and the laws
" under which the same was originated,
and into all such facts and proceedings
:" as have transpired since the formation
of said Constitution, having relation to
the question or propricty of the admis-
g sion Of said Territory into the Union un-
der said Constitution, and whether the
same is acceptable and satisfactory to a
majority of the legal voters Of Kansas,
and that they have power to send for
"persons and papers"
These instructions the Special Commit.
tee have set at defiance, and have refused
to inquire into any of the facts connected
with the Lecompton Swindlc. Thus the
order Of the peoples representatives, in
Congress has been disobeyed, at the die
tation of the President, an insult to Con
gress, which no Committee Of the House
of Commons in England have ever dared
to offer to parliament. This bold attempt
to inaugurate despotism in Washington,
is in part the work Of ALLISON WHITE,
the member of Congress from this Dis
trict, he being one of the Special Kansas
Committee. If he had obeyed the order
Of the House, there would have been a
majority of the Committee in favor of do
ing what it was instructed to do-hut his
vote was uniformly given for the Slave
Power, and for the rule of the minority
in Congress as we'll as in Kansas. And
this is styled democracy. Can any body
tell the difference between such democracy
and the Despotism of Paris or St. Peters
burg?
lfthe Clinton Democrat and Lycoming
I Gazette had the spirit of men in them,
this outrage would not have been CON-
mittcd for the publication of Stanton S
speaeh at New York, and Walkers letter
to the Indiana democracy, accompanied
by appropriate comments, would have in
sured such an uprising of the people, as to
have made their wishes respected by Mr..
White. As it is, hQ Qaally turns his back
on his constituents, and lQQks to the
White House for instructions. 1t is for
tunate for the people that they will soon
have opportunity to select another repre-.
sentative. We think the next member
will represent them instead of the Presi.
dent.

Union Of the Democracy.

In his speech to the Democracy OF Hi
nois at Pittstield, Dir. Douglas declares thai
there was a complete unity between the
Democracy of the Northwest upon the fun.
damental principle of popular sovereignty
to which Mr.. Buchanan and himself are
pledged. He said;
In proof of this, look at the resolutions
adopted few Days ago by the Ohio Demo-
cratic State Convention, and there you will
find it declared that the recommendation oil
the President, requiring the constitutions oi
new States to be hereafter submitted to the
people must be carried out; look at the In.
diana State Convention which was held on
the 9Th Of January last, and there you will
find resolution declaring that hereafter no
State ought to be admitted into the Union
until her Constitution shall be ratified by
the people at fair election; look at the
Illinois State Convention, and there you
will find resolution unanimously adopted,
requiring the constitution of State to be
submitted to the people before her odmis.
sion; look at the Iowa State Convention,
and there you will find resolutions adopted
to the same effect; such also is the senti-
ment of Wisconsin and Michigan. Thus
the whole Northwest stands a unit on that
platform TO the support of which Mr.. Blu.
chOnan aud myself stand pledged.

Prospects of the Democracy.

The prospects of the Democracy Of Ohio
are OF the most cheering character. Not
one OF our numerous exchanges in this
State reaches US, but contains accounts OF
accessions to the Democratic party. Many
honest men who were allured away by the
Misrepresentation OF the opposition in 1854,
are returning, having lost confidence in that
party and its leaders, who have ever acquir-
ed power through promises that were never
fulfilled.
No party can long continue successful
which bases its action upon mere opposition
to Democracy. Such has been the Repub.
lican party from its 6rst existence TO the
present time, both in and out OF the legisla-
tive halls. -Four years ago, when the De.
mocracy were fighting the Congressional
csmpaign, they were met on every stump by
those who styled themselves Anti ebrasku
men, and made the charge that the Kansas.
Nebraska bill would ruin the Government
and that to correct the evil, they would re-
store the Missouri Compromise. This they
not only failed to attempt, but many who Al
that time declared they would not, undel
any circumstances, vote for the admission
of another Slave State into the Union, have
abandoned that dogma Of their politica
faith and are now advocating the doctrine o
popular sovereignty as taught in the grea
Democratic church.
Take courage, Democrats. Our prospect
OF success are most heart-cheering. Neve
did our glorious old party stand more proud
ly before the country than at present; neve
did 1t command the admiration of its adht
rents and the respect Of its opponents NOR
than it does now; and never did mol
brilliant and complete triumph await it tha
that on the 18th Of Octoberepext.

"TrnitOrS."

The Democratic members Of Congress
from this State are denounced by the Black
Republican papers throughout the State as
"traitors," because they saw fit to make an
end of the Kansas embroglio by voting for
the English Bill. They oil wanted Lecomp-
ton killed, it was what they all professed to
be driving at, but because Democrats saw
fit to kill it in a different way than thai
marked out by Black Republicanism. there
fore they are "trnitors," and should meet
with the traitors doom. These Democrats
have presumed to cast out devils by some
other power than that Of Steward, Wade,
Giddings g. Co., and the cry is "away with
them, and let them be cruci6sd Judge
Hall, OF the 9th Dictrict, in particular, is
singled out as a sinner above measure, and
on reading what they say of him-the hard
names and choice epithets they apply to him
-one not acquainted with the harmless cha
racter Of his assuilants would suppose tina,
the days of old John Rogers were to be re-
vived, and that the stake, the torch and the
faggot were to be the doom OF the victim.
To be "traitor," man must betray his
trust, or desert his principles ; the Demo
cratic members in voting for the English
Bill, neither deserted their principles nor be-
trayed any trust. They took the best plan
that human power could adopt at that pecu
liar time to refer Lecompton to the people
and by virtue of the plan adopted, the great
principle of "Popular Sovereignty" wa:
preserved inviolate. Lecompton was refer.
red, and killed so dead that it will never I'VE

We think it would be far better for these
papers to turn their popguns in another di
rcction, upon their own party in Congress
that party which has proclaimed to the
world as cardinal principle Of their creed
unconditional opposition to the admission o
slave States and then every member Of it il

slave State with population of some 40,

Expenditures of tlle National Gov.
CrllNRCNt,

The President can neither squander nor
appropriate single dollar from the nation
al treasury. Every person who knows any,
thing, is fully aware that all monies going
out of the treasury must be appropriated by
an act Of Congress.
The Republicans complain that the ex.
penses of the general government for the
current year, commencing June 30th, 1857,
and ending June 30th, 1858, were unusual
ly heavy, and they charge the fault upon
President Buchanan.
KEEP II BEFORE THE PEOPLE,
That the appropriations for the current year
mentioned above were made by an act of
the 34th Congress, and that the present
Congress, which commenced in December
1857, had nothing to do with expenditures
or appropriations before June 30th 1858.
KEEP 1T BEFORE THE PEOPLE,
That the 54th Congress was Republican by
large mnjorty-that Of the one hundred
and ninety-six members, the Democracy had
but seventy-four-.that Republican Congress.

expenditures, which they now charge as De-
