Gen. Calhoun TO the members Of the Cabinet at

the messenger, is that Gen. Calhoun rejected the

with the Lecompton Schedule, they are illegal,
and consequently void. This gives the State of.

We understand that thel long contest upon the
simple choice Of Sergeant alarms has given rise
to considerable i'll feeling between the members
of the Republican party in the House, and also
between members of the House and Senate. The
tr ,uble seems to have commenced with a few hot
headed zealots of the Republican party in the
House, who. DESTROYS for some that Stevens
should be reelected attempted to steal a march
against any who might oppose him, by pre-
mature action in caucus, without due notice, at
which only about half the members of the House
were present, and all the Republican members Of
the Senate we're excluded. The Sergeant-at.
Arms is equally the officer or servant of both
branches of the House, and the improperly of
the course pursued by the partzans of Mr.. Ste
vens, in forestalling the legitimate action of
joint caucus, by the onesided policy pursued,
must be obvious to all.
