nOUSE.-The pending motion to

HOUSE.-The pending motion to
reconsider the vote postponing the
discussion Of the report of the Confer
ence Committee on the Kansas Bill,
and laying the motion on the table,
coming up for consideration, Mr.. Ste.
phens, of Georgia, thought that Mon
day two weeks was too far, aI this ad-
vanced stage of the session, for the
consideration ofthe report. lie asked,
as a personal favor to himself, as he
wished to be absent, and owing to the
state of his health, that all agree that
the vote be taken on Wednesday rext.
MIR. Campbell, Of Ohio, said that
the report OF the committee was an
entirely new one. He desired4o leave
the city on Monday, and others pro-
posed leaving this evening, and as it
was impossible for him to return by
Wednesday next, he thought the sub,
ject had better be voted on at the day
named-the second Monday in May.
The question was then taken on the
motion of Mr.. Harris, of Illinois, to
reconsider the vote by which the post.
ponement to the second Monday in
May was yesterday fixed, and to lay
that motion on tie table. 1t was de-
cided affirmatively, by a vote Of 115
yeas against 101 nays.-Mr. Stephens
remarked that he only wanted fair
undcrstanding.--Mr. ELL explained
that in voting, in the morning, for a
postponement of the report till the
second Monday in May, he did so at
the suggestion OF several personal, but
not political iriends.-Mr. Clay, of
Kentucky, said that he himself want,
ed to 90 home to attend to personal
affairs, but this was the first time he
had known of, in the history Of public
legislation, that the affairs OF great
country should be postponed to meet
the private wishes of gentlemen. Re
presumed tho mind OF every gentle.
man was made up, and the sooGer the
vote was taken the better for the peace
and quiet ofthe country.--Mr. Mont
gomery said that private affairs also
required his presence at home, and he
thought no possible injury could re.
suit from postponement to the second
Monday in May. The question was
then recurred to on agreeing to the
original motion for poStponement, as
amended, by inserting the second
Monday in May.-Mr. Washburne,
of Maine, moved a call of the House.
The motion of Mr.. Washburne was
disagreed to--yeas 45; nays 155.--
Mr.. Hughes moved for the previous
question. Negatived--yeas 80; nays
103.-Had this been carried, the
House would have been brought to
vote on the report Of the Committee Of
Conference. Mr.. Dewart moved to
adjourn. Carried by 166 against &c.

Free Negroes in Kansas FAX ing
their Position.

We learn from the Kansas Western
Journal Of Commerce that, on Tues
day, the 18th inst, a meeting Of the
free blacks of Leavenworth City was
held to express their appreciation Of
the action of the late Constitutional
Convention, in granting to them the
fright OF suffrage and the freedom Of
the schools, on perfect footing and
with the white man." Reso.
lutions were adopted congratulating
their colored friends throughout the
country, and inviting them to emf.
CRATE at once to the free soil of fKansas,
as place where the black man has his
proper position. The resolutions ap-
proving Of the doings OF the Conven-
ton were objected to on one ground
only, and that was, allowing foreign
era to vote simply on taking out their
first papers. One Of the orators is
thus reported:
"Mr. President, Tia opposed to dem
ARE resolutions-kas | is a natib
American myself, Lis; and dat con-
stitution gives to dc foreigners de same
rights as de natib born. Dat, sab, |
neber will swallow. | is willin for all
de rest to vote same as de balance-
but De foreigners neber, sab, nebcr!
| say again, sab, is a natib Ameri.
can, | isl lse in favor of Crittenden's
bill, sab ~
The remarks of the native sable
orator we're received with uproarious
applause, but the reasoning of the
speaker was swallowed up by that
other greater consideration, that the
convention had put negroes on an
equality, as to the right of suffrage
and freedom of the common schools,
with the white people; SO the resolu,
tons we're adopted with great enthusi,
asm. 1t would seem from the pro-
ceedings Of that meeting, that the free
negroes of Kansas intend to avail
themselves OF the acts and doctrines of
the Black Republicans in their favor.

The Chairman Of the Committee
on Ways ard Means will shortly in
troduce u proposition for the meeting
Of the next session OF Congress on the
first Monday in November, being Of
the opinion that it will then be neces-
sary to remodel or modify the tariff
and revenue system. There is but
little if any doubt that the Admins
tration will soon ask the authorization
Of a loan of $50 900, 900, to be applied
in part to the redemption ofthe Treas
ury notes. The friends of the new
Kansas measure ale entirely sanguine
ofits success during the present week.
Messrs. Douglas, Stuart and Broder.
ick are not only opposed to it, but are
actively endeavoring to effect its de-
feat. The Senate, in Executive ses,
sion, on Saturday, confirmed the nom
ination of John Cadwallader to the
Pennsylvania Judgship, made vacant
10y the death Of Judge Kane. A for.
mer similar announce ment arose from
misapprehensiOn.
The bill which Mr.. Quitman en-,
deavored to introduce into the House
to day sets forth that it is unwise, i'm.
polite and unjust to the existing States
to prematureIy and hastily admit new
States thereby undgly stimulating tht
occupation Of distant, vacant terrific
ries by forced and unnatural emigra
ton, for political, partisan and sec
tional purposes, producing strife anC
discord between the different parties
OF the Union, and leading to corrup
political combinations in Congress
In order to correct these evils, am
give timely notice of a line Of policl
which will hereafter be pursued, th,
bill provides that no new States b.
admitted into the Union until it is as
certained, by census taken by tn
authority of Congress, that a TerritOr,
asking for admission contains popu
lation sufficient for a Representative
in Congress, and tohold a Convention
to frame a constitution, and presen
the same fcr admission.

Letter from Governor Robinson,

WASHINGTON, April 3.

Kansas is at a dead lock in Con-
gress, and no one can predict the re-
suit. Should both Houses remain
firm, and Kansas not be admitted, |
shall visit Fitchburg, | think, next
week; but should either House yield,
| thall return Immediately to Kansas,
without going to Massachusetts.
Let the result in Congress be as it
may, none who are contemplating 60
ing to Kansas this season need delay
or hesitate from fear Of disturbance;
for, should Kansas be admitted under
the Lecompton Constitution, and Mr..
Calhoun give certificates of election,
as he has indicated, no trouble can
arise, as the Free State party will have
the government in their hands, and, of
course, will have no opposition of con
sequence. The people ofKansas have

has not been very severe and the loss
es to the troops light. A panic had
occurred at Calcutta in consequence
Of an apprehended outbreak, but the
alarm proved to be unfounded. Gen.

HENRY Wilson

MEssRs. WILSON AND GwIN.-Wc are glad
that the controversy between these gentlemen
has reached quiet termination and the
more SO, that Mr.. Wilson has gone through
it with entire honor. The correct report Of
the verbal passage at arms shows that his
rctort was perfectly natural under the pro
vacation, and its reception shows that for
some mysterious reason or other, it hH.--Nor
do We see how Mr.. Wilson could have with
drawn it at the time. Gwin had thrown out an
offensive epithet, and refused an explanation
to the Senator justly entitled to ask it.-That
Senator rctorts in general terms--why should
he explain, the other still remaining silent =?
Is any member of the Senate t. have mo-
nopoly of choosing particular times to let fly
general imputations. and then shielding him
self by silence evidently meant to fix the
barb? Mr.. Gwin seems to have 50 expected.
But when he found that was game which
two could play at, he flew into an UNCOVER
nable passion. sunk from his 'glttcring
seneralities' into coarse personalities. and
wound up with hcroically challenging man
who was on record against duoling Such
is the marvellous effect of Mr.. Wilson, quiet
remark, ~ had rather bea dcmagoguc than
a thief" People will wonder at this here
after, whenever they think of Gwin.-Bos-

1.-THE Reciprocity Law does not seem to
operate 50 well as it was expected it would,
a. shown by the following figures from the
Bangor Courier. Ii Free Trade on u small
scale operates so unf,vorablv how would it
work On large scale. 1t says
1.-The Trade between the United States and
Canada for the year ending June 33, 1854,
was as follows
Exports to Canada SlO,5lO,313.
Imports from Canada G,I2l ,j39.
in 1857, after the Reciprocity arrange
mcnt had been in operation less than three
years, the trade was as follows =
Exports to Canada $l3 ,El,10S.
Imports from Canada 1921 ,S34.
In 1854, the balance was S3,7SS 1874 in
ar taror In 1857 the balance was s. ,267 :
l27 ayaina rs Total difference on the
balance sheet between the two years, 50 ,0j5,-
go.
In the trade with the other Provinces fol-
the same years there is small gain in our
tavor,--about 5000 ,000,-but on the whole
the balance of gain is heavily against us.
II we compare 1853 with 1857 we find the
balance in the first named year about 81 ,255 '
GOO against us, in the trade with Canada
while in 1857 the balance was S5,267 ,l2t
against us. Difference against us between
the two years about S4,000,o00.
We have not at hand the reports between
1919 and 1852; but in 1919 we find tn,
Canadian trade shows balance of ncarl,
5000, 00O in our favor. In 1857, AS VIC hav,
seen. the balance was over s. 900 900 agains
us. In the otlWr provinces the balance i
thus far in our favor, but not nearl,
enough to compensate the loss with Canada.
In seems evident from the trade returns
therefore, that the Reciprocity arrangements
is to say the least. more profitable to Canad;
than the United States. and that the balanc,
in her favor is in fact growing larger yea
| by year.
