!, ,|sdmissiop of Kansas, with the lie,
compton Constitution, remarks:
ut is folly for the Republicans
to lay the fattering unction to their
souls, that any portion Of the Demo
cratic party will attempt to nulIjfy
u legal act Of Congress. In days
gone by, we had men in our party,
who were willing to do so, but such
men are now In the Republican
ranks, attempting to carry out prin.
Iciples more congenisl with their
feelings, where We hope they may
remain. Tor where they are, they can
do little harm to themselves or the
country.
We give below an extract from o
correspondence In the Ohio Slates

crat, and who is, moreover, no less
q parsonage than John 2. Slough,
whom the Democratic members of
the last Legislature. also, fully en-.
dorsed. He is now q resident of
Kansas, and claims to be acting with
the Democratic party. The tenor of
his article, contrsdicts tho assertion
made in the Courier, that they have
no one in their party, disposed to re.
sist the enforcement Of such a law.
Here is the article in question:
"Any casual observer Of Kansas
affairs at this time, must conclude
that the attempt to impose upon this
people by the violation Of principle
and recognition of frauds, and
against the known and expressed
will Of four. ftfths Of the legal voters
Of the Territory. the Calhoun. Le.
Constitution, will be fol.
owed by resistance to whatever
power may make the attempt. Such
\ course is a challenge to the patri
otism Of the people Of Kansas. The
people Of this Territory dread the al.
ernative, revolution, but have firmly
determined upon resistance. They
will never quietly permit any person
o rob them Of ofguaranteed rights, and ,
ho announcement that Kansas is ad- {
nitted upon this application, will be
he a!gnal Of civil war. q
We do not draw upon our imag. :
nation. We do not take counsel
rom our fears; but we speak from
he unmistakable esidences surroun. -,
ing us. All who are opposed to the
.ecompton Constitution, are enroll.
ng in the militia, are drilling and
rming for the struggle; and the uni. b
'rm and universal expression is, :
hat of q firm and unyiel,iing dispo. :
ition to oppose it at the sacrifice Of 4
verything-even OF life itself. ;,
"The men Of tho Revolution could
ave lived under English tyranny, [
can the people OF Kansas under '

Terrible Tragedy In Marion County,
Kentucky.
LOUISVILLE, Jan %.

LoUHvILLE, Jan 70.
i have Just learned of a terrible
tragedy which occurred in Mariol
county, Kentucky, on Thursday (y.s
terday.)
Mr.. Van Cleave, a wealthy far
mer living in that county, aoggec
his negro woman severely, when th,
husband OF the woman (also a slave
belonging to Mr.. Van Cleave) be.
came very angry, and used insulting
language to his master, whereupon
the master ordered him to be tied
up and whipped also, but while they
were taking Oft his coat to tie him,
nc drew a butcher knife and killed
Henry Van Cleave, the son, on the
spot, and mortally wounded Daniel
Thompson.
The negro has been arrested, and
is now in Jail. The officers had great
difficulty in restraining the people
from taking the negro and hanging
him ON the spot.
The above exhibits some of tn @
beauties Of the institution, which the
present Democratic Legislature are
enacting laws to especially benefit,
and which they seem very ANXIOUS
to introduce into our highly favored
State. Think Of it, a husband fol-
lowing the promptings Of a noble
nature, becomes enraged because
lis wife has been fiogged like q
lumb brute, and in a frenzy, kills
,ne Of the ruffians, and the people of
Kentucky, become SO excited, that
he officers can hardly restrain them
rom 'hangipg him on the spot!' DO
he people Of Hancock county, desire
o see this internal system of human
oppression, forced upon themp III
hey do, they can effect their olject
n less than three years, by coptinu-
ng in power just such a Legislature
rs we have at this time.

ticable.
Mr.. Billinghurst emphatically said
that Le would not while the talk Of
a Southern confederacy was so rife.
He wanted to know whether the
South was to remain or not in the
Unior.
Mr.. Warren said that there was
no such thing in this country talked
OF as Southern confederacy.

Southernor, was attached to South

Tor any road connecting the Atlantic
with the Pacific.
Mr.. Billinghurst said he did mol
hold Mr.. Warren responsible ior

When the gentleman says he ia
vors Southern coIfederacy, he
must believe it, for a Southern con

From Washington.

Dispatches from Utah to the 18th of June
were received to-day by the department.
Orders has been issued that no one should
leave the ranks of the army in passing
through Salt Lake City, except from abso-
lutte necessity, and that care should be taken
that the herds did not trespass upon the
fields of the citizens.
Among the documents is Gov. Cumming
pardon and peace proclamation to the inhsb-
itants of Utah.
An officer of the army writing from Wash
ington Territory referring to Col. SteptOc'
defeat, says that the route eastward and
northward Of Colville is now virtually
blockaded. That no one can cross Snake
River, and that it will require force ten
times as large as is now there before peace
can be restored.

Recollection OF Lecomptonites to Com

The following appeal of Col. Forney, of
the Philadelphia Press, against the re-clec-

in Pennsylvania, is cogent protest against
the reelection of Niblack in this district
Col. Forney was the confidant and bosom
friend of Mr.. Buchanan, before he betrayed
the Democratic principles ON which he was
elected, and reduced to Lecomptonism by
southern nullifers:
The men, "saysthe Press, "who forced Le-
compton through Congress-the men who
insulted the public sentiment-the men who

have attempted and who have failed in the
attempt, to commit the Democratic party to
this doctrine, should stand back and allow
other men--men trusted and tried, who
know the wishes of the people and respect
them TOTO take the nominations for the
national councils; for if this is not done,
hundreds of innocent Democrats must fall
in the effort to elevate the guilty. I'm this
