Another Democratic Member Of
Congress goes with Douglas.

Hon. j. \. Morris, the Democratic
representative of the 9th Illinois Con-
grcssional District. writes under date
of Washington December 2sth, To the
Chicago Times, contradicting state
mcnt of the Chicago Democrat that he
disagreed with Judge Douglas, and
saving: " Instead of dissenting from
Douglas, | fully and heartily indorsc
his views and shall stand by them to
the last" We cut the following par
agraph from the letter of Mr.. Morris :
In vindicating the
great principle of popular sovereignty,
as applicable to Territories as well as
to States, our distinguished Senator is
consistent with his past life. and now
stands forth as one whom neither place,
nor power, nor frowns can swervc for
an instant from the line of duty. II,
under these circumstances, should
hesitate to give him the benefit of my
feeble support, | should be rccrcant To
my own sense of right, and guilty of a
most gross breach ofpublic duty. Let

nations bc formed to break down one
of the grcatest-if not The grcatcst--of

A New Discovery--kansas Already
state.

Several of the ultra firc-eating Jour
nails of the South have been for some
weeks past limiting the theory that ad-
mission into the Union was not at all
essential To the existence of State
The Richmond South, which is per-
haps the most authoritative organ Of
that party, thus applies the doctrine to
the case of Kansas:
"Mr. Douglas Is, however, too late
with his bill. There is no such place
on the face of the globe as Kansas
Territory. 1t was and is not. When
Congress passed the act authorizing
the people of Kansas to hold Con-
vention and form State Constitution.
Congress acknowledged Kansas had
arrived at maturity. and when the peo-
pie of Kansas elected their Convention,
Kansas instantly became State, free.
sorere;gn and independent, upon foot
ing of perfect equality with Georgia
or Virginia; as perfectly independent
as was North Carolina or Rhode Island
before they gave in their adhesion to
the Union as formed by the Constitu-
tion-as perfect and Independent a
State as Massachusetts, was when
Britain acknowledged her independ-
ence England could by no act of hers
revoke that concession.
The Congress of the United States
can by no act of theirs reduce the State
of Kansas to the condition of Terri
tory any more than they can reduce
Georgia or Virginia to that condition.
Kansas is under no obligation, legal,
Constitutional or national, TO apply
for admission into the confcdcracy.-
If she should apply, Congress may
admit or reject her. If Congress adj
mits her, she comes in equal. If Con-
gress rejects her, she remains ont an
equal, as free, sorereign and indePen-
dent naf;on.'
The elaborate care with which this
theory is presented in the Southern
Disunion journals, indicates some
specific purpose-some direct and inn
mediate object, which the public will
be curious to learn. Suppose Con-
grcss should reject the application to
admit Kansas under the Lecompton
Constitution-do the frc-catcrs intend
to make that act the occasion for de-
claring Meir independence, as we'll as
that of Kansas ~ y. Times.

The Washington Union an Nicnra.
guaa Affairs.
!

w AruiNtio<s Jan. ..
The Union Of this morning in speak
ing Of the Nicaraguan affairs says:
Ii is quite clear that the breaking
up Of Gen. Walkers expedition was
the very result contemplated by tho
previous instructions.
However much the manner and
mode of the interruption may have
been in conflict with Commodore
Panlding's instructions on the strict
rules Of international law, il is not
probable that those instructions con-
templated the landing Of forces on the
soil Of Nicaragua but il is also not
probable that the Government will
complain Of the aggression.
The Union also says that the policy
Of the President, as enunciatcd in his
message, will undoubtedly be persued
in relation to Nicaragua, but the whole
article is non-committal in regard to
the views Of the Administration in re-
lation to Com. Paulding's course.

Our readers will not fail to notice
the prospectus of the Cincinnati Ga
zette, Daily and Weekly. This old
established, well-known, and highly
priced paper, is to be still further inn
proved. The Weekly, it will be seen,
is to be enlarged to the size of the
Daily, and both to be printed on new
type at the same old price. The Ca
zctte is printed on fine, white paper,
in the best style of the art-and, al
together, there is no more readable
paper. The prospectus was in our
columns last week, but we forgot to
call attention to it, and SO we give il
another insertion that all may see it.

wives, four OF whom are sisters, and
his own nicces. This is mixing up mat

We have To come tn Lower Prices.
Our farmers in this vicinity, as else
where. have been very 10th to sell
their hogs at the ruling prices. and
many have held back till the present
time. Indeed our packers were re-
cciving but very light supplies. This
week, however. we see evidences Of
a change. Notwithstanding the bad
state of the roads. ten wagon loads
were received yesterday at the ware
house Of EpoEn d FlrzrArnlcK. We
think there can be very little doubt of
the prudence Of our farmers selling
their surplus pork for what they can
get. The indications point to low
prices for all kinds of food for some
time TO come. The price paid here
now. we believe, is 50 30 to 81 90
