WASHINGTON CRY, March 4, 1853.
Remaining steadast to their purpose of keep
ing up the Kansas agitation the Black Kepubli-
cans in Congress, aided by their new allies,
avail themselves Of every scheme and possible
pretext that the ingenuity Of fanaticism, goaded
by the last feeble hope can invent.
Kansas out of which they even endeavored
TO make capital for political effect they still
cling to with deathliEe strougle. Hence their
efforts now to postpone the admission Of Kansas,
as State. That they are unwilling to meet
the question was plainly shown on last Monday
inthe Senate.
On the Thursday previous, when the Senate
adjourned it was the understanding that Kansas
would be the special order for Monday, at l
O'Clock. Notwithstanding this when the time
came round for the Senate to proceed to its con
sideration, aquestion was raised as to the pri,
ority ofbusiness, and urged by the opposition,
assisted by Mr.. Douglas, himself, who took &C
c8sion to travel considerably out Of his way, 1
regret to say, to make some unkind reflections
on the action of the Senate in asking that the
the Kansas question might be first disposed oi
which stood in the way of all other business
as was apparent to every Senator and to the
country. However, it was decided by a vote oil
the Senate that the question was entitled to
priority.
Mr., Green, from the committee on Terrific
ries reported a substitute which proposes to
bring in Minnesota and Kansas together.
Mr.. Green proceeded very ably, but briefly,
to make the opening argument agreeablyto to the
desire Of some of the opposing members of the
committee, during which time a short passage
at arms ensued between he and Mr.. Douglas,
courteously and very calmly, on the part of Mr..
Green. An explanation ensued, though by no
means sufficiently eXcusable, for Mr.. Douglas
report appearing in the press before it
was produced in the Senate, in violation of the
agreement among the members Of the commit
tee on Territories.
The opposition are becoming. desperately
reckless in their assertions with regard to Kan
sas. All the facts and circumstances are not
considered in their legitimate connection, but
their invectives and declarations are based on
some glairing one sided statements. Holding
these up the country, they wish the people
to form their estimate of the propriety and wis
dom Of the acceptance of Kansas into the Union.
1t was very properly argued, by Mr.. Green,
that Congress was not accepting or adopting a
constitution for the people of Kansas or fore
ing one on them, as has been enormously stated
but thequestion had to be legally considered
Kansas comes to Congress, with a constitution
republican in form, and desires to be admitted
as State in the Union 1t is the plain duty,
of Congress to admit her.
Political croakers profess to see signs Of the
dissolution or breaking up ofthe great democrat
ic party in some Of the recent meetings, pur-
porting to be democratic, held in opposition to
Mr.. Buchanans Administration on the Kansas
question. But such men as these have had the
party broken up from time TO time for near half
century. Disappointed office seekers, Of all
grades and classes, 10 crafty personal malice,
lily off the handle at the least possible pretext,
and Immediately threaten and predict aunihila-
ton to the party. And it is remarkable that
these departcrs from the true faith always claim
that they are the real democracy.
The great democratic party of the United
States has always been able to cope with these
meteadeyS and it is certainly no less able n0sU
True democracy is paramount with the people
to the personal aggrandizement Of its enemies
