They are valuable 10 him not Only ON account
OF their Intrinsic worth, but also, eDd chiefly,
because OF the assurance they cenvey tiiat his

poor humanity, they are mindful OF the apos-
tolic directon-ssN beseech you brethren 10
know them viii. b labor among you, and are
over you in the Lord, and adnonish you; and

The writer of this communication, the Pas

the way of provisions and clothing for himself

WAsHIYGToS, March IT, 1853.
The prospect for early disposition of the Kansas
question by Congress is very gloomy. Some OF those
members who are the most sang une in regard to the
final adoption of the Administration measure admit
that the House is not yet to be trusted with the hnal
vote and that long struggle is yet to take place.
The President is more anxious than ever as to the
reault for he considers that the of his Admin
istyaon depends upon it. He is as good judge Of
the prospects of the measure any else and in
deed, better, because he best knows the extent to
which he can himsefcontrol the result. He remarked,
the other day. that if Mr.. Harris of Illinois should be
sustained in his objections to the report of the
jority of the special Kansas committee it would be
the end of LecOmptOn. But Mr.. Harris has not yet
carried his point. He has had good show for it, in
two votes and is de5rous of bringing the matter TO
test. His overtures to that effect have not been
accepted.
Ifthe LecomptOn party were more confident OF sue
cess they would agree to the reception of the MAORI
ty and minority reports, without resolutions annexed
and then, after discussion take test vote between
the two. If the majority report were repudisted, it
would follow that another investigation would be or
dered. If It were adopted it would be equivalent to
a decision in favor of the Administration measure.
1t would end the struggle.
But il is easy to that the Kansas bill, when it
sto the House from the Senate will be entirely neg
eced 80 long the conflict between the majority and
minority reports from the Kansas Committee is con-
tinued.
The speech of Senator Houston is topic of much
remark. 1t contains illusions to certain popular doc
rnes respecting progress and expansion, which, com
Jog from conservative and eminent statesman like
himself, are entitled to consideration.

The recent votes on Dir. Harris's movement for

hSve occasoned no little unessnes' at headquarters,
and deranped the prOverblal equanirnlty OF those
Who count their chickens before they are hatched.
They have at least opened their eyes 10 the conyic-
ton that the Southern Americans hold the late OF
Ksnsss in their hands by holding the balance Of

too by those.who have stgmatized the principles Of
the American organization as tne most Odlous aud
infamous that ever existed in this country. Find
;ng that tbi, course only provoked indignation the
warfare was stopped by instruction, and the
test of Friday was allowed to pass without
comment 40 far as the six KnOw-NOthings" were
concerned. To-day the speech Of Mr.. Kennedy,
who gave in bis adhesion TO LecOmptOn-as the
readers of this correspondence were long since in.
formed he would dds glOrfed in The Union, as
if he were of the most orthodox stripe There is
but one more step necessary for him to be received
into full communion. Behind the scenes, where the
stage machinery is worked, the wire-pulers count
mon majority Of three and possibly FIVE for Le-
cdmpton. but they dread possibility of amend
ments being voted in. by which its best friends in the
South NAV ultimately turn their backs and disown
their own offspring. That is the point of sppre
bensOn and to il every effort will be directed. The
receding PENNSYLVANIA members, one or two from
Ohio heretofore wavering and the six Americans
are expected to support these conditions, and if
they be engrated, then more than an equalnumber of
extremists threaten to abandon it to fate, and even
express willingness to join the Republicans in its
hual defeat. INDEX.
