REVOLT OF THE RICHMOND JUNrA.-One of
the most remarkable outside movements in con-
nection with the Douglas-Kansas detection at
Washington, is the revolt of the old democratic
junta of Richmond, Virginia. We were some
what startled by the Tammany Hall pronuncia-
miento of Governor Wise, but now the Richmond
Enquirer comes out, not exactly in opposition to
Lecompton, but in defence of the Douglas con-
spirators. The Enquirer has been the trusted
organ Of the Virginia democracy for half GEN.
fury, and though now and then it has been
little shaky in the knees, it has always hereto
fore contrived to come into line at the critical
point. But now, at the critical point, it is fly
ing off at tangent. Thus, one after another,
cligues, juntas, leaders and newspaper organs,
North and South, the wheels, and cranks, and
straps, and shafts Of that cumbrous machine
known as the democratic party are breaking to
pieces. The only remaining hope for the party
is in the firm and resolute administration of
Mr.. Buchanan. Should that be swamped by
party defections, the "unterri6ed democracy
will be dispersed like a routed army, never to
take the field again-that's all.

The Closing Debate upon Kansas In the United
States Senate.

The Senate after continuous experimental
session from Monday morning to half-past Elk
o'clock yesterday morning, upon the Lccomp-
ton constitution, adjourned for few hours, and
on re-assembling at twelve, the opposition an
nounced their ultinatum, which was that the
debate should be closed on Monday next, and
this was agreed to. On Monday next, therefore,
we may expect the passage of the bill by the
Senate, and the transfer Of the direct question
II the admission Of Kansas under the Lecomp-
ton constitution TO the House of Representa-
tives.
Asisusually the Gaze with an all-night session,
this last one did not psss off without some VIC
lent personalities. But we are gati6ed that the
. gerents in this instance--Mr. Green, of Mis-
'sbtfi, and Mr.. Cameron. of Pennsylvania
promptly repaired their violation Of the rules.
and that the mischief which was threatened by
the exchangn Of the lie between them was thus
happily exit guisted. This process of settling

the democratic party is knocked sky high, and
that the " Little Giant" has grown even smaller
in dimensions and meaner in his breeches
pockets The fact is Forney became too big
for his breeches He was small man in big
cause. During the election of $50 this small
man figured in the forlorn hope of Pennsyl-
vania He had the vanity to think that he
saved that State, and wished to be Senator of
the United States, for which post he had not
sufficient calibre. He 30 far imposed upon the
good nature of Mr.. Buchanan as to induce him
to write a very improper letter to several MEM
bers of the Legislature. But as the democrats
OF Pennsylvania were quite satisfied that Forney
WAS not competent for the office, they kicked
him over. He next desired to be Postmaster
General, and we helped him to get that post,
but it was found that he was not equal to the re-
ception of the accounts of the department He
was then offered the post of Consul to Liver
pool, which he declined. He is now going to
ruin as fast as he can drive. The paper which
he publishes in Philadelphia is now losing, it is
said, from two hundred to four hundred dollars
per week. Douglas Wise and Walker have as
much as they can do to keep their own heads
above water without assisting Forney in sus-
tanning his establishment, and therefore he is
obliged to resort for subscribers to his old
enemies, the black republicans, who are using
him up as fast as they can. Yet there is one
chance for escape for the Chevalier Forney.
He is new out in his character as q politician,
but from the quality of his intellect and the
Pickering of his imagination he might make
capital revival parson for a few weeks. His
knowledge of political rascality, gained by his
experience in poor Piorce's kitchen, would en-
able him to make prayers and preach sermons
of the most dismal and telling character. There
is no resource left for him but to turn revival
parson at once. Perhaps b. might do for
Mormon elder How would he like that? We
tried all we could to help him to be Senator
from Pennsylvania; We tried to get him into
the Cabinet-a greater failure still {; we tried
to help him to the Liverpool consulate, but he
turned up bis nose at that. Now we are willing
to do our best to give him fair start as re-
vival parson, if he thinks 1t reputable voca-
ton; or if not, we will do all we can to get him
high place among the Mormons, including all
the trimmings.

connection with this Lecompton constitution
lies in the House of Representatives. We pre-
sumo that the joint bill Of Minnesota and Kan
sss will pass the Senate bya handsome majority,
ard in clear and definite shape; but the pro-
ceedipgs Of the last week or so in the House
indicate a desperate and doubtful struggle in
TINT quarter A third party in that body-so
small that il Las heretofore been overlooked
pears to have made the discovery that it holds
the balance Of power upon Lecompton, aud
with this discovery it has betrayed disposition
one way or the other, to turn it to some practi-
cal account
We allude to the South Americans, or the
half dozen Know Nothing members from the
Southern States. Tue to the instincts OF Know
No'hiogism, this little gang of South Ameri-
cans sDe evidently in the market, and at the dis
posal OF the highest political bidder. We had
nice illustration of the ruling principles of
these Know Nothing traders upon small capital
in the late election of the Speaker of our As
sembly at Albany. They would, perhaps, have
elected republican in exchange for a clerkship
or two, but as that party made no definite pro-
mise of the sort, the Jack o. lantern men were
guided by their peculiar patriotism to the sup
port Of the democratic nominee. So we surpect
that at Washington, any tangible principle
which man can put in his pocket, from the
mission to China down to five dollar bill, will
have its influence, at least among the lobby
members of the Know Nothing incorruptibles
there. But If this Know Nothing faction Of
Congress is really to be considered as in the
market, and subject to q bargain and sale,
would it not be best to have q regular public
auction at once, and dispose of the whole gang
in lump. just as gang of black slaves are
sometimes knocked down in a lump to the
highest bidder, old and young, big and little
included!
But whatever these mysterious South Ameri-
cans may be driving at, the policy of the admin
istrstion is very clear. 1t is to push the lie
compton bill through the House without stop
ping anywhere to make petty compromises or
concessions of peace to any clique or faction.
Very true, the LecomptOn constitution as the
final law for Kansas is myth or an empty alb.
araction at the best; but it cuts the Gordian
knot Of this Kansas agitation and throws the
whole issue of popular sovereignty" back to
the people where it belongs. But ag,-in, the
administration has staked its existence upon the
Lecompton constitution; and it is, therefore, the
policy of the administration party In the House
to admit of no trifling expedients or embarrass-
ing devices in their action upon the bill. Bet
ter risk all the contingencies of square defeat
in a bold and open fight upon square issue,
than to stoop to the humiliation of concessions
to faithless renegades and disorganizing fac
tiopists.

EoTIoE TO OUR PArRoNs.-We haze
not a word of complaint to offer fof
want of patronage, as we are abundantl.y
supplied in that way. But, we are beng
almost totally neglected by several hun
dred subscribers who owe for the paper and
for advertising, and who are beforehand in
circumstances, Those whom we know TO
be in needy circumstances, very hard run
CT very poor we are willing to wait on, or
give them all they owe US. but those that
can par as well as no, should do so now.
We are truly needy just at this time
Having SO long done credit business, and
not wishing to change our mode of action
with men whom we have so long known,
who have sooften cheeled US on and whom
we have so many times accommodated In
in triding way, We hope such persons
will now come up TO the scratch. They
can do il without inconvenience, and we
know they should act now. We only want
money enough t. buy stock, paper, ink, DC.
The County orders we received lately we
cannot use at present, else we coald get
along till spring. You can inclose safely
in letter what you may owe, or part
thereof, and we will receipt promptly.

Hope.

Hope is wha. supports lis when we feel
as though the turbid waters Of disappoint-
ment and aff1iction, were determined to sri-
umph over US. Well may the prosecuted
and almost discouraged Christian say
.hope is the anchor Of the SOUL" Bnoyed
up by this hope the Christian bids defiance
TO all the opposil 6 powers of the rerseeu-
tor and defamer; and with bis "hope an
chored within the veil;' he rides buoy ant
above the cares Of this ftcohstant world
Why should we be discouraged? If we
strive to walk in the paths of virtue we
need not fear, for we will most asssiredIy
have the aid of all the yirtuous and GOOD
and far better than this, we have the great
ruler Of the u Aiverse,a high and holy God
to support lis. If this be the case, let US
struggle on with undaunted courage an d
the victory will be ours. A. B. T.

Rational, State, County and Town Expenses.


The true cause Of heavy expenses fol
governing our state and the counties and
towns-we might add for governing our
schools, building roads and bridges and
support of paupers, lies higher and farther
from home than is commonly believed; a
profigata, wickedIy reckless and extrava
giant state of affairs at Washington is the
true cause. We are told that the expen-
SEES of supporting the General Government
for the current year will run up tc hun
dred millions; sixty to eighty millions has
been the rate of annual expense for years.
The state government must follow theFed
eral eehtef lead iii extravaganza, just as the
poor heighbof follows the wealthy head of
community; the county must initiate the
State, the Town follow the County fashion
down to the road and school district
for "man is an initiating animal" AS
father manages, so does the son. The
Federal Government added on wing to
the National Capital at a cost ola million;
the Wisconsin State managers must follow
suit, BY adding several wings and dome to
their capitol at cost of half million; ev
cry county must initiate the state by cree
ting new offices, aspens and even Jail in
closures for boys. TO climb over. School
districts take courage and pay less regard
to economy than to voting high taxes
We might 90 further and assert with the
proof at hand that the people themselves
have too freely followed in the track ofgov-
eminent, until they are even deeper ia the
swamps of bankruptcy than the Federal
and State powers. But, the people have
stopped their ways in the downward cur
yeMs; the counties and states must bold on
s0oD through the public interference. The
Federal Government cannot be got back
to the bound sof economy, except hysa new
set of men at the head No set of men in
power were ever known to retrench and
reform; in England the longer party is
in power the more extravagant, hence the
changes frequently from Peel to a Russell
ministry, and from a Russell to a Peel.
In our country, continue ton Of any party
after four years is not change of rulers
only q push upwards of the lower officials
to higher places; consequently, no change.
The only remedy, only hope for econo
nv from the head down to State, County
and Town governments is change par
ty-a change of example-a change of
parents at the head of power.

who preach economy, but charge for servi-
ces every dollar the law allows and often
