THE Kansas ouEsrros IN CosaEEss.-

THE KANSAS QUESTION IN CONGRESS-
By reference 10 the summary Of Congression-
al proceedings given to-day it will be seen
that the CalhounKa nsasC Constitution has been
temporarily disposed of in both Houses. In
the Senate it has been referred to the Com
mittee on Territories, though the question is
still before that body in the shape of a reso-
luton introduced by Mr.. Douglass calling
for information as TO the history of its adop-
ton, the alleged frauds, whether it has re-
ceived the sanction Of and is acceptable to a
m~ajority of the legal voters of the territory,
&c. In the House, after q fierce and pro-
tracted struggle of nineteen hours, the op-
ponents of the swindle achieved a signal tri-
umph in amending the resolution introduced
by Hughes Oecompton) by substituting in
its stead that proposed by Harris Camille
compton,) and the adoption of the ~resolu-
ton as amended. The vote on those pro-
positions, as we'll as on the the numerous pre-
liminary questions, were regarded OF all
hands as tests of strength, and if no changes
occur, if the powerful Appliances o. party
discipline and Executive patronage do not
prove effectual in overcoming the very small
majority that these votes show against the
swindle, the fate of the Lecompton Consti-
tuition is sealed. Previous experience would
Justify the belief that means will be found to
buy up enough votes, or induce enough men,
ters to absent themselves, to force the meas.
ure throughput, as the decisive votes re-
ferred to were taken on Monday, and after
the Union of Sunday had f%uriously assailed
as factionists and renegades, Harris and 9TH
er Democratic members who voted with him,
the chances are that having thus stood fire and
their position of opposition to the fraud and
its advocates to the end. The telegraph
gives the following list of Northern Demo
cratic members who voted for the Harris
proposition:
Adrain, N. j.; Chapman, Pa; CockereIl.
O.; Cox, o.; Davis, Ind; Dewart, Pa;
English. Ind; Foley, Ind; Hall O.; Harris,
H.; Haskin, N. Y; Hickman. Pa, Owen
Jones, Pa; Lawrence, O.; McKibben, Cal.
Marshall, Iii. Morris, H.; Montgomery, Pa;
Dimmock, Pa; Shaw, ILL.,; Smith, Iii.
The Americans who voted against ii
were:
Anderson, Eustis, Hill, Marshall, Maynard.
Ready, Ricaud, Triphey, Underwood, and
Zollicotfer.
On agreeing to Mr.. Hughes resolution as
amended by MIR. Harris substitute, the vote
WINS the same, with the exception that Mr..
Pendleton, of Ohio, changed his vote to the
affirmative, and Mr.. Gilmer's name was nd
ded to the negative.

DIsUNIoN.--That the Southern frc-eaters
have for a long time mcditated u dissolution
of the Union and the establishment of a
Southern Confederacy, there has been little
room to doubt. The election of Fremont to
the Presidency was TO have been the pre-
text for attempting to carry out their design
but that failing, the more ultra of them
are insisting upon making the rejection of
the L~ecompton Constitution by Congress
the signal for commencing operations. AL
ALBANIA has already acted through her Legis-
lature-the Governor of Texas has sent n
message to the Legislature of that State
recommending similar actlou-di sunion, in
the event of the refusal to adopt the Lee
compton Constitution, has been either open :
ly threatened or significantly i~nsinuated by
Mason, Davis, Brown, Benjamin and Ivers on
in the Senate, and by Gartrell, Davis, Nc
| Queen, and others in the House--and the
same sentiments are uttered by the journals
that reflect their sentiments in the Southern
States. w e add q couple of confrmatory
paragraphs from letters from the Cap
ital. The Washington correspondent of
the New York Times writes as follows:
81 am informed on good authority, that
one of the most distinguished Of the South
ern Senators remarked, a few days since, 10
a Senator from a free State-in conversation
but not confidentially--that the South had no
interest in Kansas, and cared nothing for it,
but tina; they were convinced that f4e true
interest of both North and South required a
separation, and they uere determined to bring
ii about.
l am perfectly satisfied from various con-
siderations, that a dissolution of the Union
is the real object aimed at under cover OF
zeal tor the Lecompton constitution. Sem
ator Mason's remark in debate, yesterday,
refers TO the project. There is a syetemat-
ic plan of operations already agreed upon,
TO be carried into operation upon the rejec-
ton of Kansas"
The New York Herald's Washington cor
respondent has 1.-The very best authority for
the information" that
Letters are constantly pouring in from va
rious sections of the South, all breathing
and tending to the one idea that if the Lee
compton constitution is rejected by Congress
the legislature will be Immediately convened
by the Governor of most of the S outhern
States, and their Senators nd members re-
quested to withdraw from the Union. A
movement has already been started for a
Southern Convention, to meet as early as
practicabla.

The CONGRESSIONAL F1GHr.-The par
ticulars of a fight which occurred in the
House of Representatives early Saturday
morning last, growing out of an exhibition
on the part of Keitt OF South Carolina Of
the overbearing insolence characteristic OF
plantation education and associations, will be
found under the Congressional head. AL
though a number of members on both sides
of the House participated in the %fracas, and
some severe blows were dealt (most of them
fron the Republican side, it seems the mat
ter was speedily and satisfactorily adjusted
by mutual explanations, and no further trou-
bles are likely to grow out of il. Keitt had
the manliness to acknowledge himself the
aggressor, and apoligized to the House for
his gross breach of decorum-and as he
seemed 10 be unconscious of the fact that he
received a blow. when all accounts concur in
positively asserting that lie was knocked
down by Grow, and some of them state that
he was thus foored as often as three times,
4 ma cniCly &c ! ca III CttlfGI tiC Gi-
fects of the blow, or liberal potations at the
bar in the basement, had rendered him some
what obliyioug, and hence he is not a very re-
liable witness on that point. 1t will be re-
membered that this man Keitt was one OF
the body guard of Brooks, and stood by
brandishing pistol and cane while the latter
committed his brutal assault on Senator
Sumner-ani us be is regarded as the very
beau ideal of a Southern fire-eater and
'chivalric gentleman we give a description
of his personal appearance, as furnished by
the Washington correspondent OF the New
York Evening Post:
H"Once seen he is never forgotten. He is
probably one Of the vainest men in the
House; he keeps his seat but a few minutes
at q time, nd is as full Of antics and grilnaces
as any monkey in the London Geological
Gardens. Is there a pretty lady in the gal
Ieryi Be sure that Mr.. Keitt is looking at
her, and pleasantly stroking his whiskers.-
Wait d few minutes, and if he knows her,
you will see him at her side. When taking
his daily exercise on the floor ne has a gait
peculiarly his own-lke that of a spawned
mare. He throws up his chin, brings a
heavy scowl upon his face, and covers the
open space ia front of the Speakers chair.
This is the member who represents tile fire.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE, on transmit
ting the Lecompton Constitution to the
Senate, will be found in our columns to-day.
1t affords a pitiable exhibition of the depth
of degradation to which a high official Dig
nitary can stoop in advocating and pr sssing
to contamination a fraud OF unparalh led a
trocity, which his Judgment and sense of
right and justice must condemn, but which
his inexorable southern masters demand us
the price of their aid in placing him in his
present position. 1t is not necessary to
p~erverts well established facts in the history
of the Kansas troubles, or to the unfair and
matter and states the questions in issue
they win be apparent to every intelligent
reader, and have been most thoroughly ex-
posed by the Republican Senators in the
discussions which followed its introduction,
and in the IN of the Republican
press. The Pittsburg Gazette, in reference
to this message, very truthfully remarks:
tThis last act of Mr.. Buchanan is the
browning act of his infamous Administration.
What he may dc in the future cannot affect
his reputation as a public officer or a private
citizen. His political grave has been open
ed for him, and his name will descend TO
posterity as a kissing and n bye-word. The
short comings of the Administration Of
'Poor PIERCE will be forgotten when the
enormities of his successor shall glare in the
eyes of a reproving people. Verify the
South has been a severe and exacting mas
ter-and MIR. Buchanan an obedient servant.
The compact, at least, has been carried out
but at what a sacrifice, Oh, Mr.. Buchanan
