LONGITUDE HY THE TRANSATLANTIC TEGE-
GKAPH-The Transatlantic Telegraph will af-
ford means by which the difference If longI-
tudc between ubservatorics iii this country and
Europe can he determined with the same accu-
racy as latitude is determined which is a mat
ter of paramount importance both to the as
trnnomer and navigator. 1t is conso}ing to
the former because the transportation Of chrou-
omCtcrs to Europe aud back will he done away
with, and the many Thousand troublesome OBJ
servations required for the determination Of
longitude will he abridged. Heretofore science
has not afforded means by which the coast OF
the United States could he dclincatcd on a
chart. in comparative position with the coasts
of Europe, nearer THAI. a mile. This is one Of
the many prartcal benefits which will be re-
allied from tic completion of this great work

very angry. there WAS 4 vein which Sweiied IN
his forehead, and another in his throat but,
however cnra@cd. his words were always mili

replied, BE silent or 80 III Gods name. and

himself from coarse and violent language

SLAVERY AGITATIoN.-All accounts agree in
representing the anti-Lecompton meeting at
Philadelphia, on Monday evening, as large and
influential assemblage Of the Democracy OF that
city. The following extract from one of the res
olutions adopted on that occasion shows in the
most unmistakabe manner the temper and dis.
position Of the meeting;
ResolUed. That we declare it to be our unsha-
ken determination TO resist every attempt to force
upon the people of a territory any constitution
which has not had their express approval, con-
scious we are that resistance to aggression is
the only means by which unparalleled wrongs
can be redressed.
Res0lOed, That as State Rights Democrats,
jealous of any infraction Of this wholesome doc
trine, we shall oppose every attempt to interfere
with the sovereignty of the States, either North
or South, or with the people of the territories,
seeking admission into this Union-the sole guide
Of the latter being found in the express terms of
the kanzas- Nebraska act-and the action OF the
former resident in the inherent right to make al
ter, abolish their constitutions in the way pre-
serbed by the citizens OF the individual States.
Allusions to the Pennsylvania Democrats in
Congress who sustain the President. were re-
ceiyed with groans, and when the announcement
was made Of the defeat of the Lecomptonites in
the House, by the passage of the motion of Mr..
Harris, there was immense applause. This agi
tation Of the subject in popular assemblies, so
well begun in Philadelphia, is to be followed by
other meetings of the Democracy of other parts Of
the country, and call has already been issued for
a meeting Of the anti-Lecompton Democrats, in
New York city, on Friday evening.

CONGRESSIONAL Washington, Feb. S.
Mr.. Speaker Orr will not be prepared to an
nounce the names of the committee of fifteen,
as called for by the resolution of Mr. Harris,
until tomorrow. The majority will be men
opposed to the admission of Kanzas under
the Leeompton Constitution. In forming the
committee, the Speaker will be governed by
that rule of parliamentary action which re-
qures that the avowed enemies of d measure
should not be appointed to determine upon
Its merits. The committee will be announced
probably on Wednesday.
MIR. Hughes of Indiana, will probably be
chairman of the select committee as he offer
ed the original proposition for such commit
tee. The committee will be a fair one in ev-
cry respect. The South is evidently disposed
to back down in the matter of secession The
most positive assurances were given this morn
ing, that if Harriss resolution passed, three
States would certainly secede, but the fire.
eaters take the result very meekly thus far
The probability that Lecompton will yet pass
in spite of transient defeat today, tends to
keep them quiet.
The scanty majority in the House against it,
and the significant votes in the Senate of
Messrs Bell, Crittenden, Houston, and Ken
nedy, foreshadow pro-slavery victory in the
final struggle.

From Kaa zas.

LIT. Louis, Feb. 9.-The Leavenworth cor
respondent of the Democrat says that bill
providing for constitution has passed the
Kanzas Legislature.
Lawrence letters in the Leavenwo1th pa
pers, contain the proceedings of the Board of
Commissioners to investigate the election
frauds, Mclean, the chief clerk in the Sur
veyor Generals office, testified to having sent
the returns of both elections to Platt city, at
Calhoun's request-that he had not seen
them since; and that the Delaware Crossing
returns had never been received at Lecomp-
ton. This was doubted, and Sheriff Walker
was despatched to Lecompton to search Cal
houn's office, and found, buried in the ground
under wood-pile, the identical returns
which Mclean swore to having sent to Platt
city. Gov. Denver, the Speaker Of the
House, and the President of the Senate, ex.
amined him, and be swore that they were the
same returns that Calhoun counted on the
l4th ult. that the Delaware Crossing returns
were among them, footing up three hundred
and torty-nine votes. Previous to this, Dit
tendore had testified to having given the
Delaware Crossing returns to Calhoun al
Weston, subsequent to the count at Lecomp-
ton. 1t was said that evidence would be pro-
duced OF his preventing Calhoun from having
the returns, When he counted the other votes.
Wriis had been issued for Mclean and
Sherwood, who had fled to escape arrest.
