MEssRs EDrroRs "A few words in answer
to merchant" and another merchant of
the Gazette, may not come amiss, when the
ring appears to be open to all.
They both say that we can buy goods as
cheap with Nebraska trash as with money.
Well may be they can. l have not found
it the case, and can send them to Whole
sale House, where they can get Is per
cent discount off, from regular price at
present, by paying Illinois or Eastern cur
rency-and it is the case with every house
in town. Can they answer this question,
and stick to their doctrine! Why are
goods 50 much higher here than in Chicago?
or why. should there be such difference in
the price when freight is less than so per
hundred unless 1t be in the price of money

From Washin gton.

WASHINGTON. Feb. II.
The majority Of the Senate committee on
Territories have completed an elaborate re-
port. The bill which accompanies it is
similar to those heretofore presented in such
occasions, and admits Kansas into the Union
under the l.ecOmptOn constitution.
The House Kansas committee met tonight
MIR. Morrill, offered . resolution snmmoning
Walker, Calhoun, Stratton and Henderson
for examination, and requiring them to
bring all documents in their possession bear
lag on the subject. To this it was objected
that the official documents being obtained
from the Executive department, official tes-
timony might not be necessary.
This resolution, together with four or five
others, looking to the examination Of all
matters covered by the resolution under
which the committee was appointed, was
tabled by vote of eight aginst one.
4 resolution of Mr. Adrian, instructing
the Chairman of the committee to procure
from the State Department, the census and
registory Of votes taken in Kansas with an
answer by Mr.. Stephens in accordance with
law, was passed The committee adjourn.
ed to "Wednesday next, in order, in the
mean time, to procure the documents called
for.
WARRINGTON, Feb. Is.
Calhoun, in his published defence, says he
has written to Governor Denver to procure
the same statement Of the Judges of the
controverted Delaware Crossing precintc.
and to have them taken under such circum-
stances Is VIII secure free and unbiased
exposition Of the facts by the same state
ments 50 procured. He shall be governed
in the certificates of election Of Members Of
the Legislature from Leavenworth. SO if it
shall. as it probably will, place the govern
ment Of Kansas in the hands OF his enemies.
no one will regret more. yet he shall hon
estly discharge his official duty.

British VIEWS OF THE NEGRo-We have sever,
times quoted the Liverpool Post on this matter If
negro slavery. 1t is not only proslavery journal
but as thoroughgoing slave trading organ as the
Southern Citizen itself. AS it is a commercial news.
paper, and as Commerce-that is Moncy-swavs all
public sentiment in England, its language is worth
citing as indicative of what is coming:
The Liverpool Post says: "There are twenty
times as many 'nggers' in Africa as in all the West
India Islands and on the American continent. and
five hundred fold worse. They are the most mser
able of human beings-the most degraded of men.
They have always been so the sun for six thousand
years at least has looked down upon and found them
not only black and curly but the most debased of
slaves. 1t was not the white man who did this
the black man was the tyrant. A transfer to the
white man was bliss; bondage remained-but how
different from chains imposed on them on their ma.
tive soil and their original dwelling place" The
Post again asks: Is there any hope for the fuure?
which it answers, mot if things allowed to remain
they The aptitude of the negro for civilza.
ton presents only individual examples; the mass
have been savage. They are now savages in Africa
There is no use questioning the fact-t is true
Brought within the control and influence of the white
man, it might be dfferent-would be different; but
ordinary means will never overcome obstacles to the
exercise of that influence. Released from the pre-.
of civilization, the negro will relapse into the
barbarism of his race"
