Letter from Hon. A. Harlan.

A friend has handed us the following
letter from Hon. A. HARLAN, a. member
of Congress from the 7th District of Ohio,
and one of the sensible and able men of
the present House. AS will be seen, this
letter was written prior to the recent cleo
tons in the Territory, but the informa-
ton which it conveys, and advise which
it contains, are no less opportune then
than now. Our hope of escape from the
calamities of oppression and civil war,
are in a great measure based upon Sena-
tor DogaLAs, and the Democrats who
stand with him for the rights of the peo-
pie /; and it is our duty, now, as ever, to
act with prudence and moderation as well
as unshrinking firmness. Into whatever
difficulties we may be plunged by the
reckless and unprincipled knaves, now
conspiring to rob us of our dearest politi-
cal rights, we have nothing to gain by
rsshness, or the manifestation of turbu-
lent or factious spirit :-Squa4er Sooe-

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1s, 1857.

DEAR SIR The Douglas party is
surely gaining strength. Forney is max
ing strong move in Pennsylvania, and
the whole Northwest is shaking. The
divisions heretofore have been in divid-
ing the plumber, but this fight of Doug
las, Forney & Co., is not for the plunder,
but it is fight for life. Douglas shows
no sign of giving down, and to come down
is death. He would be hissed out of So
ciety in the North, and to go over to the
South would now do him no good-he
can never atone or obtain pardon for his
sins.
For Gods sake, so act in the Territory
as to give no excuse TO the Lecompton
Constitution party here for healing up
their differences with the Douglas men.
If you get up a row and act with yio-
lence, and provoke collision, you will be
charged with wish for war and disor-
der, and you viii then get it. Instead
of sufferers, you will be treated IS aggres-
sors, and without sympathy.
For the Lords sake, don't send your
old Topeka concern here. It may have
been good expediens at the time, and I
think its production here, and its rejec-
ton BY the last Congress, did good to the
Free State party. Bet its mission has
been ful6Iied-its day has passed, and
the occasion which produced it has passed
| IL it is again sent here, 1t will come in
the spirit of defiance; and men who
heretofore opposed it will not now sup
port it, and as there is some hope of their
present disposition to act honestly, it viii
be wise and prudent to throw no obstacle
IN their way. Let all yonr actions beal
the spirit of moderation and prudence, as
well as firmness. If you csn avoid con-
! flict and violence I think your cause is
safe; but you must be willing to accep'
of peace when it is offered. You mus
be willing to take friends on such terms
as they may be offered, provided they ars
real substantial friends.
/ can advise no special course of actor
on your part, IS I can know little of thu
spirit of your people and the leading mo.
tives and general purposes of the leading
minds among you Let them see tha
they are not moved by passion or th'
love of conflict.
i But my object in writing you was onlI
to say that think Douglas and his mel
will stand fast and viii not forsake yoa
or your canse, becaase they cannot do
without self obstruction, and am of opin
ion that they are fully aWare of Il The.
viii be governed by interest as well .
principle, and therefore they may b
trusted. Very respectfully.

g:r-Cosoakss.--We are. informed by q
person who left St. Joseph on Monday,
that report had reached there. to the
effect that Lecompton had been defeated
ID. the House, by majority of 8 votes.
We hope the report will be confirmed.
but fear the news is too good to be true.
The last advices received by the papers,
were TO the effect that attempts were be-
ing made among. the Democratic mem
bers, to compromise in some way or
other. to admit Kansas. The prevalent
opinion was, that the Constitution would
be referred back to full AMI fair vote Of
the people. If adopted, the President
should ADMIT Kansas with it by procla.
nation; if rejected, then something else.
II the Constitution does not pass. the
sales Of public lands in Kansas will not
take place. sr-a Hsa5e
Calhoun has at length been smoked
cut, and has published proclamation,
stating that he is satisfied the vote Of
Delaware Crossing was fraudulent; that
he has thrown it out. and regrets that it
win elect the Fres State msmbers of the
Legislature from Lesvcnworth County.
TO whom he will give certificates. which
will give Free State majority in both
branches Of the Legislature. He says not
aRord about the State officers, and will
probably give the certificates to the Pro-
Slavery candidates. Consequently, il
the Free State party have not two-t thirds
majority ia the Legislature. they can be
controlled as efectually as if the LegislA.
ture were Pro-Slavery.

1t would have been an awful crime. to
be sure. II the opponents Of the Lecomp-
ton Constitution had voted against il, in
the event of its having been submitted to
