The Message in the House,

The arrival Of the Presidents meS-
sage was the signal for a acdne Of
prolonged excitementin the House OF
Representatives On Tuesday afternoon.
Messrs Hughes Of Indiana and Har-
ris Of Illinois, ESPECIALLY, kept up a
rafting fire of words with great de-
termination on the matter |; first, of
having the floor; and next, on the
want Of courtesy Of either party in
not Immediately yielding. The great
object was, of course, to have the first
chance of introducing a resolution,
which might either lead to debate
on the message or distract the House
on the same. Motions to adjourn
were lost, like pebbles in the sea-.
The excitement was great, and swept
everything away nor did it 60 down
itself, but was merely postponed, at
8 o'clock, over to this morning.
Mr.. Stephens, Of Georgia, moved
to refer the message to the Committee
on Territories Mr.. Hughes support
ed the views Of the President, as exs
pressed in the message, advocated the
propriety Of admitting Kanzas under
the Lecompton Constitution, and
moved to refer the message to a select
committee of thirteen. This, howev.
er, was too wholesale a mode Of op-
GRAFTON for Mr.. Harris, who moved to
strike out all after the word ore
solved" in Mr.. Hughes motion, and
to amend it by inserting a series of
provisions, authorizing an inquiry
into, and report Hpon, all the facts
connected with the framing of the
Lecompton Constitution, and the va
rious elections held in Kanzas. Mr..
Harris amendment empowers the Sc
lect committee to send for persons and
papers Washington States, FED, 6.

More Difficulties at Fort Scott.

"A report is current here that Capt.
MONTGOMERY, at the head Of COM
pany oftwo hundred men, has made
aclean sweep Of the Border Ruflians
out Of Fort Scott and taken pos
session Of the town. A messenger
has been dispatched to Gov. Denver
requesting him to Immediately con-
centrats at that point several compa-
uies Of US. troops, for the protec-
ton Of tho Rufiians. We know not
how much truth there is in this ru-
NOR, but we can safely assure our
readers that If anything has been done
sf the nature above indicated, it was
not without sufficient provocation.
Fort Scott is the only Border Rufian
post-hole in Southern Kanzas, and
not until ii meets with such fate as
the Border Ruffians intended should
be given to every Free State town
in the Territory, will the people In
THAT section Of the country be permit.

Resolutions were recently introdu-
ced into the House of Representatives
in Tennessee, approving the Lecomp-
ton business, and instructing their
senator's, and requesting their repre-
sontatives, to vote for the admission
of Kanzas with the Lecompton Con-
stitution. After some debate, (says
the Louisville Democrat, the Dem
ocrats held that o constitution must
not only be republican, but must en-
body the popular will of the Terri

Sin a: Yours of the 18th inst. is just
received. I stand precisely where I
did when in Kanzas last summer.
No earthly power can compel me to

Lecompton fraud. My opinion is
we can beat it in the House. I may be
mistaken. AT all events, we will
I 6ght it to the death. The President
is determined to press it through,

Congress tomorrow. The battle will

WASHINGTON, Jan. 80. 1858.

Ma. g. w. e. GRIFMTH--DEAR
SIR: Your favor Of the 1lth has just
been received. I am greatly rejoiced
to find the people so firm in their de-
termination to fight the Lecompton
Constitution and any power which
shall dare to uphold it, to the bitter
end. You may be sure that l will
faithfully reflect their wishes in my
place here. We expect that Consti-
tuition to be sent in ON Monday, with
o special message from the President,
urging its acceptance. 1t is at this
time doubtful what will be its fate.
The vote will be close, but the
friends Of freedom do not despair of
avictory. If it shall pass, I mean
to return home at once and share with
our beloved friends whatever fate may
l
have in store for us. .'
You speak Of an enabling act. My
own opinion is, that if we can escape
the clutches of this most d--able
administration by the defeat Of the
Lecompton Constitution, we will best
consult our own safety by not ven
turing to get them on us again; there
fore l would have the Legislature
prepare bill and have q new Con-
vention forthwith. Let it be ready
to present as soon as this one is dis
posed of. I hope and expect that
the trouble of our people will soon be
oyer.
| intend to bring the subject of
lands you slluie to before Congress,
though ! have not much hope for its
success. ! think the next Congress
will be of a character to redress our
wrongs. We may have to wait for
this measure Of justice till that time.
Yours, truly.
