The following is an extract of letter from
Marcus ]. Parrott, our Delegate to Congress:


WASHINGTON, Dec. Is, 1857.
The opposition, reinforced by Walker and
Douglas, will be able to beat the President
on the Kanzas policy-prOvided that they
can agree on common ground of opposi.
ton. Douglas has prepared and introduced
an Enabling Act.'' 1t consists of the
Toombs bill. with the Minnesota clause
that being simply a submission of the in
strument to the people added to it. The
Republicans viii go for it. But see the
Topeka Constitution has been re-vamped,
and I shall be called on to bring that on the
tapis But one opinion obtains here; that
is, that the Topeka Constitution, as matters
stand, is wholly out of the question. An
Enabling Act is necessary to harmonize the
different elements of our strength in the
coming contest with the administration
forces.

Financial condition of the west.

A late number Of the New York Inde-.
pendent contains the following truthful ar
ticle on the financial condition of the West.
1t doubtless reflects the sentiments of the
business public of New York. The most
commendablo leniency towards Western
debtors seems to characterize the course
pursued by New York creditors:
Tue WEsr.-No part of the country has
suffered SO much, during the long continued
commercial arrangements with which tho
nation has been afflicted, as the West.-
Her movements, of late years, havo been
too rapid. Not satisfied with steady
growth, nor with oven extraordinary pros
pcrity, she has plunged into reckless spoc-
ulations in wild lands, city lots, railroad
stocks and bonds-evcrything which prom
ised short cut 10 fortune. No part of
the country has more real enterprise than
the West, and mono which can present so
many tempting indictments to labor
With lands by millions of acres, the rich
est, perhaps, in the world, no man who
oxerts himself need fear of having 'cnough
and to spare" We wonder not, therefore, at
tho rapid recovery of that section from late
troubles. 1t will require yet moro time to
bring things all right again, but that they
will come right speedily, is now certain
Light is already dawning. Our merchants
report, of late, better collections from that
quarter, and also q better business Thous-
ands of good mon are embarrassed more or
less, but with courage, checrfulnsss, and
retrenchment Of expenses, they will find
land not far ahead. We would say to
Western merchants at this critical time,
show your pluck, your backbone. Your
Eastern creditors want to hear no more
whining or complaints Of bad weather, short
crops, or scarcity of money. They want to
know that you have your shoulder at the
aoheel, and that there You intend TO keep it,
until you arc once again in comfortable cir
cumstancos. A single word more. II you
have paper under protest, get it up if pos
ible, or make tho attempt to do so, before
you sleep another night. If you can't pay
ALL pay part; and if you can't pay dime
to-day, but have a reasonable prospect that
you can pay soon, renew your notes, keep
them alive and pay as fast as you can
Wake up and contribute your share to
hasten that "new era of prosperity" now SO
devoutly looked for. as

THE GOvEnNmENT PARTY

Tho supporters of Mr.. Buchanan, are now
known under the above title. They con-
sist of tho ofiiceholders and their hangers
on. They will support ~ Buchanan till
the 4th Of March, 1s81,-if he should live
so long. If not they will support whoever
takes Misplace. The administration is COM
pletely Tylerized. If any reader is doubt
full as to the meaning of this word let him
read the history of the last two years Of
Tyler's term. 5
Mr.. Buchanan has played out his game
and lost He was determined to ''saye the
Union" but he has failed to save his own
bacon. The southern hotspurs who scared
the old man with their threats of seeding
from the Union il he did not put Lecomp-
ton through, now laugh at him and his fright.
Nay, they are already singing peans to
Douglas. Douglas has kicked Lecomptpn-
spit on the admiuistration-wiped his shoes
on the English bill, and will, wo think, be
reelected senator. The cup of Mr.. Buch-
anan's misery is full. Among the democ-
racy Douglas has tho "inside" in the race
for tbs presidency. If his legs are short
his wind is good. Mr.. Buchanan begins to
realize the old saying that he who serves
tho devil is always cheated out of his pay.
Poor old soul. He has been all of his
days time-sower, and n tricky, schemey
politician. He has played ono trick too
many. He has lived long enough TO be
we'll convinced that it had been better for
him to have dealt fairly by the people of
Kansas; for which God be praised. He
secs by this timo that it would have been
better for him to havestood up to his pledg-
cs to Walker and Stanton.
Mr.. Buchanan undertook to make his
will supreme in his party. Every senator
every representative who would not obey
was to be kicked unceremoniously out of
the party, But Mr.. Buchanan finds this is
a game two can play at The men whom
he would fain have kicked out, have turned
round and kicked him out. Which is now
the democratic party, the president and his
cohort of officeholdcrs, or the men who
dare oppose his will, and arc now backed
up by the pcoplei So mote it be. When
party dictation would destroy individual
fleedom ofopiniop, it is timo the people re-
asserted their right to rule themselves.

In common parlanco with showmen, when
they wish 70 make a strNng assurance to
the public, they generally announce in prom
insnt capitals-"Evcry piece on. the pro
grammo will be played" The Perrysburg
Journdl says;
"Steedman is no longer the man who is
counscllsd in distributing the Government
patronage in Northern Ohio. U. S. Marsh.
al Johnson now has tho ear Of the President,
and all appointments are made through
him. II would CRAFTY large circle Of his
political friends If he would procure tho APP
pointment Of some person to pay off the Ii
abilities Of the Commercial Bank Of ofToledo."
BY the way, we have bit Of news to tell
which is not generally known, and which
will fully explain why Mr.. A. J, Dickinson,
Of fthis place, did not got the appointment
of Msrshal for tho Northern District Of Ohio.
Early last summer while the Lecompton
controversy was the absorbing theme Of
conversation, it was generally conceded that
Mr.. d. had the inside track, and bid fair to
carry off the prize, but the old saw, athOre's
many Slip &c, never proved tuer than
in this instance. In those days, one Of our
prominent republicans Of this place received
a despatch from Washington, inquiring how
Mr. A. J. Dickinson stood on Lecompton |?
This dispatch was signed 'R. MOTIF the
name of the republican congressman from
the Toledo district. Answer was returned
that Mr.. D. professed to bo anti-Lecomton.
1t was supposed this inquiry was made for
the purpose of imparting strength to Halls
backbone, by showing him that his own
party in this district were opposed TO the
passage of Lecompton. H
Nothing moro was heard of the matter
for several months, and tho circumstance
was no longer thought Of. In tho mean
time Lecompton passed-Hall betrayed his
constituents and voted for the measure
and Matthew johnson, of Toledo, was mp
pointed United States Marshal. But "mur-
der VIII out. a few weeks since, Marshal
Johnson happening to meet our republican
friend, accosts him with, "Did you not re-
ceive telegrsh dispatch from Washington

know who sent it3' "Mr. Mott" "Ha!

of the despatch, if he did not have hand
in it, for at that time Mr.. S. was an ardent
supporter of Buchanan. Now he declares
that he is a "tyrant," "conspirator," "dicta-
