The Fight in Congress.

A member of Congress who was witness
to the difficulty in the House, on Saturday
morning. between Grow and Keitt, gives
the following particulars:
Mr.. Grow objected to Mr.. Quitman
making any remarks, Keitt said, if you
are going to object, return to your side of
the House. Grow responded that this is
q free hall, and every man has right to
be where he pleases. Kett came up to
Grow, and said he wanted to know what
he meant by such an answer as that
Grow replied that he ment just what he
said-that this was free hail. and a man
has right 10 be where he ploases. Kett,
taking Grow by the throat, said, I" l will
show you. You know you are damned
Black Republicanpuppy 4" Grow knocked
his hands up, saying, " | shall occupy such
place in the hall as please, and no
nigger-driver can crack his whip over mep'
Keitt then again grabbed Grow by the
throat, and Grow Knocked his hand away,
when Kett came at him, Grow then
knocked him down. The fight took place
at twenty minutes to two o'clock this
morning,
Groi0 and KeiH have both appologized!

Douglas Democrats

Who are the Douglas-democrats p
Every black republican from Maine to
Mexico, is a Douglas-dcmocrat. In his
war on the administration they hold up
his hands, and Mey pat him on the back.
While the Senator insists that his present
position is the logical sequence OF that o'
1854; his black republican allies shout
amen to his conclusions, though they
denied every position in his argument
If Douglas is right now, then the repub-
lcans were wrong in 1856; and if they
were wrong, what has so suddenly and
efIecnally opened the eyes of every
individual in the party, Blanch, Tray,
Sweetheart, and all
Is not all this the result of his opposi-
ton to the administration Is it any love
for Douglas, any belief in his doctrine of
popular sovereignty Look around you
Douglas men and see where you are
standing-see if you are not in the very
midst of a crowd, Yhale fellows well met,
with whom you have lately been at war.
Observe into how sudden favor, men
heretofore known as democrats, have
grown with the opposition-ask yourself
whether this new friendship is on account
of your firm, consistent and reliable de-
mocracy and if not-why
Remember the story of the spider and
the fly.

Black Republican Consistency

With few exceptions, those who oppose
the admission of Kansas into the Union
under the constitution framed at Lecomptou
favor its reception under that manufactured
by the bogus convention at Topeka. I he
latter, they profess to think, is model Of
Justice and wisdom, while the former is full
of grave objections, one of the gravest Of
which is the following provision:
"SEo. IA. After the year one thous nd
eight hundred and sixty four, whenever The
legislature shall think it necessary to
amend, alier, and change this constitution
they shall recommend to the electors, at
the next general election, two-thrds of the
members of each house concurri, g, to vote
for or against calling convention"
This provision, it is contended, prevents
any alienation or amendment of the con.
st tuition until after the year 1864. Sup
pose it does, (Which we by no means admit,
with what consistency can the friends Of
the Topeka constitution object to it, when
they know that the constitution contains
The following stringent prohibition against
alteration and amendment:
"SEc. 4. No convention for the for
nation OF new constitution shall be
called, and no amendment to the constilu-
ton she'll by the general assembly be made,
before the year 1865, nor more than once
in five years thereafter
