SoUFHERA TREATMENT OF D~OUGLAg.--
Ehe Southern Democrats permit no opportu-
nifty to pass without venting their spleen on
Senator Douglas, and they appear to have
transferred much of their hatred of the Re-
pubicans to the Anti-Lecompion Democra's.
The pro-slavery fire-eaters make the Wash
ington Union their mouth-piece, and a late
number says of Judge D.:
"Haying ourselves found hin a tolerably
slippery customer, we cannot blame his old
enemies and new-made allies for entertain
ing fears of his sincerity land for wishing to get
the political moose well drawn about his neck.
Our experience is, however, that the knot
can meyer be SO tied that he will not slip it,
whenever he thinks II necessary tor his own
political advancement to do So"
Senator Douglas reciprocates the feeling,
and u recent Washington letter says:
Mr. Douglas, on his part is by no meaps
mea!y -rnouthej or over fastidious in his ex-
pressions Of opinion. Al an early stage of
his defection-while he was having inter-
views with the President, in the hope that
he might come to some agreement--the lat
ter remarked to him that it was perilous FOR
u public man to put himself in opposition to
his party, and that lie must take the liberty
of reminding him of the fate Of Rives and
TaIImadge, who rebelled against the policy
OF Gen. Jackson. ''Permlt me, Mr.. Presi-
dent,'' Dir. Douglas replied, "Permit me to
remind you that General Jackson as dead -
This is very much the tone which the Hill
noise Senator has taken throughout this con-
test, and it must be confessed that it is not em-
inently concilIatory.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN CALlFoRNIA.-Oa
Sunday 2lst of February. a terrible tragedy
was enacted at Grass Valley, Nevada coun-
ty. Michael Brenan, an educated and in
telligen: Irishman, who has been acting as
the President of the Mount Hope Mining
Company, on that day poisoned his wife and
three children with prussic acid, and then
committed suicide by the same agency. Mr..
Brennan had been unfJrtunate in his mining
enterprise. aDd had involved himself in debt
to the amount Of 100000. Brooding over
his pecuniary misfortune, he became, it is
thought, insane, and deliberately planned and
carried into effect the destruction of his fam
lily and himself. Mrs. Brennan was a lady of
highly cultivated mind and atniable DISPOSE
ton, and had endeavored herself during her
residence in California to many friends
The children were exceedingly interesting,
and both Brennan and his wife are represen-
ted as having been devotedly attached to
them. il is supposed that Mrs. Brenan had
no knowledge of the intention of her has
band, or participation in his guilt. She from
appearance vas poisoned first, and the chill
dren one after another in succession. Each
was found dead with a pillow pressed over
its face in different parts of the house. Bre-
nan was a graduate of Trinity College Dub
lin. He has been in this State about one
and a half years. His wife was an intelli-
gent and accomplished lady, speaking four
different languages-[Sau Francisco Bulle-

Toombs. the Buchanan champion of Lecomp-
ton from Georgia. is IA able plain spoken,
bluff man, and in his late speech did not hes
itate to declare, with a defiant sweep of his
clenched fist, that the issue of Union or dis
union was involved in the rejection of the
Lecompton Constitution. MIR. Toombs re-
ferred several times to Mr.. Critic nden, and
when he closed, Mr.. G .. in a brief but com
handing reply, indicated his course as a
Southern man in o2posin G Lecompton, W it'll
a calm dignity, and a solemn eloquence.
which contrasted so stron ely with the We
hetaenee of Toombs, that the floor and CALLER
les twice broke outin hearty applause. A let
Ter writer says:
He was followed by john Bell, who com
menced his speech by turning to Toombs
and asking him if be understood him to say
the admission or rejection of Kansas under
the L~ecomptoG Constitution involved the
continuance or the disruption of the Union ?
Foombs nodded an emphatic assent, VIII ere
upon Bell, drawing himself up to his full
height, responded, in shrill, clear tones,
"Then, l, a Southern man, accept this is
sue !" The effect of this impassioned out
burst was electric.

The Mt. Vernon Democratic Banner de-
nounces the union prayer meetings, SO prev
alent throughout the country at present., as
irregular political gatherings, where earnest
denunciations of the slave power and the
'odious Lecompton Constitution are daily
made,' and presumes "they are the begin
ming of the next Presidential campaign."-
The editor should be made the special sub
ject of the united prayers of all these meet
ings--for the utterer OF such sentiments in
snch coppection must be a reprobate almost
beyond hope of reform.

CALHoUS's LAST CARp--King Calhouu's
statement that he will give the Free State
members elect TO the Kansas Legislature
certificates is the last card of the scoundrel.
He has taken care that the Free State men
shall have a majority of two-thirds in only
one branch of the Legislature, and to with
hold any declaration whatever as to the State
officers. Calhoun has claimed since he has
been in Washington that the prc-slavery
State ticket was elected by two thousand
majority. discarding the returns of several
counties sent TO Governor Denver. He
therefore makes no commitment in his pub
lished statement touching the State tcke,
and he no doubt designs to give Marshall
the certificate for Governor in order that he
may hold a veto check upon any action of
the Legislature looking to q change OF the
Lecompton Constitution. The plan is in
keeping with his scheme of fraud and con-
spiracy from the beginning, and is only g new
feature of the old rascality.

Senator Clark of New Hampshire,
in the course of his speech, on Mon
day last, in addressing himself to the
remark of MIR. Hammond, OF South
Carolina, that Northern laborers are
slaves, said:
With all due respect 10 the Sena-
tor, l.'say that they cannot only geta
dinner, but can give one to the Sena-
tor if he wants it. But he would ad.
wise The Senator not TO talk of mud
sills there, otherwise FIVE feet ten ia
ches of ground-if that is the gen.
,leman's hight-might be his portion.
In the Revolutionary War a black
smith of New Hampshire gave his
services to the State. His father said
to him: "The State is poor, don't ask
for your money now" And the sum
due him stands on the record in the
capital of New Hampshire, so many
shiIlincs-and his decendents are
proud OF that record of his patriotism.
Little did thessson of that man (Clark
himself) think he would come into this
Senate and hear the Senator from S.
Carolina call that father a slave. Zap

LEuomPros IN H HoUsR.--Yesterda,

LEuoMPToN IN The HoUsE.--Yesterday
was fixed upon as the time for final &C.
ton Oh the Leeompton Constitution in the
House. Agreeably to a general understand
ing AMONG the members the bill was to be
taken up on the lst and the previous ques-
lion moved, which, if sustained, as it doubt
less was, cuts off debate and brings the body
TO voting. An immense number of speech
es have been made on both both sides, with
in the last six weeks, but still it is probable
a number will fail of an opportunity to speak.
This will not be a serious matter however,
as the subject has been very thoroughly dis
cussed.
The result is involved in d~oubt--both sides
are sanguine; but the probabilities seem to be
that if not defeated outright the Crittenden
amendment will be adopted and the bill pass
ed, which would be as much of an Admins.
tration defeat as the direct rejection Of the
bill. The latest advices state that the Re-
publican members will first endeavor to gel
a vote on the rejection of the bill; that fail
ing they will vote to lay it Oh the table, and
in the event of not succeeding in this they
will vote with all other anti-Lecomptonites
for the bill as amended by the proposition
of Mr.. Crittenden. We give the materia.
portion ,,of this amendment, that the reader
may understand its import ::
s'SEcTIoN. l That The State of Kansas
be, and is hereby, admitted into the Union
on an equal footing with the original States
in all respects whatever; but inasmuch as it
is greatly disputed, whether the Constitution
with which Kansas is now admitted was fair
" made, or expresses the will of the people
of Kansas, this admission Of her into the
Union as a state is here declared to be up.
on this fundamental condition precedent,
namely: That the said constitutional instru-
ment shall be first submitted TO a vote ofthe
people of Kansas, and assented to by them
or a majority of the voters, at an election tc
be held for the purpose; and as soon as sue h
assent shall be given, and duty made known
to the President of the United States, be
shall announce the same by proclamation
and thereafter, and without any further pro-
ceedings on the part Of Congress, the admis.
sion of the said State of Kansas into the
Union on an equal footing with the original
States in all respects whatever, shall be
complete and absolute. At the said election
the voting shall be by ballot, and by endorsing
on his ballot as each voter may please, "fol
the Constitution "or "against the Constitu.
tom. Should the said Constitution be re,
jccted at the said election by a majority Of
votes being cast against it, then, and in that
event, the inhabitants of said Territory are
hereby authorized and empowered to form
themselves "a Constition and State Govern
ment by the name of the ofthe State Of Kan
sas preparatory to its admission into the Uni
on according to the Federal Constitution
and to that end may elect delegates to a
Convention as hereafter provided.

WAsHINGToN, March 26.-MoR-
MEMoRIAL.-A memorial from
the Legislature of Utah was presen-
ted to the House to-day. The me.
morialists represent that at the last
session of their Legislature a resolu-
ton and memorial setting forth their
grievances as to the appointment of
federal officers for Utah, but the only
response to them has been the send
ing of anew set, backed by an army
claiming TO have been sem by the
President. If the army has been
sent by the authority of the Govern
ment, they should like to be informed
of the fact; they want further to know
why their remonstrance has been
treated with contempt, and a hostile
course pursued against them. They
say they will not submit to the mis-
rule Of the demagogues who spend
their time in creating disturbance be-
tween them and the U. S. Govern
ment. They narrate their sufferings
in Missouri and MISUNDERSTANDING
to be a portion of the American peo-
pie, and asserting that they have
therefore the right to demand Justice
and the enjoyment of their civil
| rights under the Constitution. They
ask the Government TO retrace their
course--to Withdraw their troops, and
10 give them a voice in the election of
their officers, thus showing its will
ingness TO extend them peace rather
than war. The appointments for
Utah, they say, were hawked about
until at last was found a set of officers
reckless and unprincipled, who have
attempted to come into the Territory
supported by bayonels. All they
want is fair play. The Administra-
lion has been imposed upon by de-
signing men. They will not, il ex-
pected TO do SO, renounce their reli-
gion; they will maintain it in defiance
Of Earth and Hell, and are better
prepared 10 defend themselves now
than when they went to the Terri
tory. They beg to tie excused if
they do not entertain a favorable
opinion of the army. If some of
them had their just due they would
be pulling hemp by the neck. or oc-
cuPying positions in prison. They,
among other things, ask reparation.
The reading OF the memorial was
listened to with attention. Some of
the language caused laughter, while
other portions induced members 10
move that further reading be dispens-
ed with. The memorial was, how
ever, read 10 the end, including the
names of the signers.
