WASHINGTON, March 4


Senator Clark intends moving an amend
ment to the Kansas bill, admitting Kan
sas as State on condition that the power
to amend the Constitution be expressly
reserved to the people. whenever they see
proper, and that neither its admission
with the Lecompton Constitution, nor
the Constitution itself, shall be so con-
strued, or having force to revive or
re-enact, after the admission, any law or
regulation repealed by the Territorial
Legislature before the passage of this act,
without the re-enactment of the State
Legislature of Kansas after its admission.
Contrary to the position assumed by
Gen. Shields and other prominent gentle
men. the Senate COMMITTEES on Judiciary
have completed report concluding with
a resolution that Minnesota is not State
in the Union. This denies to Mr.. Shields
the right which he claims to be admitted
to scat in the Senate.

E Should the Lecompton Constitu-
ton pass, almost, if not quite, the whole
Iabors of the late Legislature will be Of
no service-null and void. The removal
of the Capital, repeal Of laws. charter
privileges, &C., will be Of no effect. but
the old laws and charters will remain in
full force.-Io,ca Point Enquirer.
Not exactly. Was not the Legislature
the legal law-making body of the Terri
tory? 1t was elected and held its session
in accordance with the Organic Act,
which stands in the relation of a Consti-
tuition to the Territory. The Lecompton
Constitution had not been. and is not yet
accepted by Congress, and it would be
strange If an instrument not yet legalized
could destroy the acts Of legal body
and until Kansas is admitted as a State,
the regular Territorial Legislature re-
mains the law-making body, and its acts
are binding. No Constitution has any
force. until accepted by Congress. 1t
would be pretty pass, if no laws could
be enacted in Kansas, for months, and
perhaps years, because Constitution has
been sent to Congress, which, if ever &C.
cepted, will do away with the Territorial
Legislature.

THE CLEVELAND PosT OFFIcE.-Thert

land about the Post Office. The Herald
of last evening says that Jas. B. Steed.
man sent the following message over the
wires to couple Of applicants in that city
for the Post Office. The first was to Geo.
G. Dodge:
Are you Buchanan man?
Are you in favor of Lecompton
Do You want the Post Office?
Will you in connection with said Office
establish newspaper E?
To the first two questions Dodge an
swered, Il am" To the third, he said
" | do !" but to the fourth he demurred,
as the scheme was Of doubtful expediency
in pecuniary point of view.
Charles Winslow, too, has been cate
chized. He replied that he was Bu-
chanan man, and Lecompton man, and
wonld like to have the Post Office. The
newspaper question was not put to him.
So it seems /" things are working"

FEUD BETWEEN BUCHANAN AND DoUG-
LAs.-There is intense personal bitterness
between Buchanan and Douglas on all
points. The President denounces the
Senator as little demagogue who is
afraid OF the consequences of his own
measures. He expresses the greatest con-
tempt for the blunder Of Douglas anti
Lecompton movement, and does not dis
gnise his purpose to aid in the election of
a Republican Senator. if necessary, to
defeat Douglas, should he continue to
oppose Lecompton and If he now turns
again. the President says he might be
tolerated in the party, but he would be
despised. On his part, Douglas every
where asserts that Buchanan and the
Administration are dead. Some of the
Douglas ofice-holders Of Illinois would
have been dismissed before this, but the
House delegation entreated the President
to spare them. because they would, in
case Of general row. lose their seats as
well as Douglas his.-CorTsspondenes

SIZZLING ISouIRY.-The Administra-
ton party, it will be borne in mind, have
a majority of one on the Committee
appointed under the Harris Resolution,
to investigate the iniquities in which the
Lecompton Constitution was brought
forth. This one gives the President and
his friends control of the Committee, and
it will be seen by our dispatches from
Washington, that the design is, to exer-
else that control in the same arbitrary
spirit which has characterized their poll
cy from the beginning. The object now
is to smother all inquiry into the frauds ;
and, with that view, every proposition 10
send for persons and papers has thus far
been voted down. The people of Kansas
are thus to be cheated all the way through,
and the Presidents boast, that he would
"put the Constitution through Congress
in thirty days, or burst" seems to be in
a fair way of ful6llment The Admin
istration, hence, may lay claim to at least
one virtue-that of consistency. 1t has
been consistently bad. in the Lecompton
juggle, from the beginning,-and it is
quite clear now, that that consistency is
to be persevered in, through thick and
thin. and at all hazards, to the end.-N
y Express.

FREE NEGRoEs.-We notice that, In
many parts of Kansas, the Free Negro
question is being agitated. In Brown
County, the candidates for the Constitu.
tional Convention were instructed to op-
pose any provision in the Constitution,
prohibiting free negroes from emigrating
to Kansas. In some parts, Resolutions
have been adopted, favoring a provision
to discourage such emigration, but con-
sidering it unjust TO prohibit it. For our
part, we think the Convention will have
a perfect right to prohibit free negroes
from coming here, and it should be done.
II such provision were made, free negroes
would understand at once that Kansas is
no place for them, and they would go
where people like to live among them.
If it wero left to our choice, we would
much prefer living in Kentucky to liv-
ing in Canada. But we do not desire
to live among negroes, either bond free.
and therefore do not want Kansas to be
q Slave State, nor a State where free
negroes are permitted to eolonize. Kan
sas was destined for white people, and let
white people possess her.

How is TINS ?-The mail that bring:
the Herald of Freedom, alwas bgings the
Emporia News of the same date, and the
Kansas Leader of the following week.
CentropOlis is some twenty, and Empo-
ria eighty miles beyond Lawrence, with
fewer mail facilities, and the Herald is
printed several days in advance of its
publication day; yet It is generally two
weeks old when we receive it. Lecomp-
ton and Topeka also have favorable mail
facilities, yet the papers from these towns
are about as expeditions as the Herald Of
Freedom. The Leavehworth papers,
with the exception of the Herald, come
SO seldom. and SO long after date, that
they might as well not come at all, il it
were not for the name of the thing. We
have forgotten how the Times looks.
Mysterious are thy ways, o! Kansas

AN ACT entitled IAN act to provide
for the regulation of the running at
large of Swine"
Be it enacted by the Governor and

Kansas:
SECTION /. That it shall be unlawful

According to Prentice, of the Louis.
vile Journal, Buchanan's Lecompton
Message is pair of Kilkenny cats
Prentice says:
The message is two-fold, one part an
swering and destroying the other. The
message does not deny that the majority
of the people of Kansas are against the
Lecompton Constitution, but holds first
that that majority has not expressed its
opposition in conformity with established
forms-second, that when the Constitu-
ton has become the " organic law" the
majority Of the people may rescind or
amend it as they please without any re-
gard to established forms. Thus the vii
famous message cuts its own throat.

How VALLASDIGHAM Is MAEGUvERISe
FOR SEAT IN CoNGREss.-Mr. Vallan-
digham, Of Ohio, publishes card in the
Washington Globe, denying the truth Of
an assertion made by Mr.. Gilmer, that
he once voted to allow free negroes to
testify against white men, and to secure
the vote of the Administration party in
his favor, be states that he made five mo.
tons, and is on record thirteen times. as
voting against bill which would allow
free negroes to vote. Having thus estab-
lished the most pre-eminent qualifications
for Northern supporter of the Admin
istration. he will undoubtedly be permit
ted to take his seat.

WAS KEIrr KNOCKED DowN ?-The
New York Post has the following in re-
gard to the late Congressional fracas:
"There is chivalric attempt on the
part of Lecompton Democratic letter
writers to prove that Nj. Keitt Brooks

by Grow, when that gentleman was as

over, reminds US of a passage in the
testimony in the case of The Common

was to request the favored party to in

MIssoURI PoI1ucs.-The people of
Missouri are beginning to move in polit-
zeal matters, preparatory to the August
elections, when Congressman and mem
bers of the Legislature are to be chosen.
In the District on the opposite side of
the river, there will be fierce contest for
Congress. Mr.. Craig, the present mem
her, will doubtless be re-nominated by
the Anti-Benton Democracy. He has
faithfully represented his District, as far
rs local matters are concerned, but has
not given general satisfaction on the Kan
sas question. The District is decidedly
Of the Benton stripe Of politics-and that
wing of the Democracy have opposed the
Kansas usurr alton, and favored fairness
and non-intervention. Col. Branch, of
Platte County, and Ex-Governor King,
hsve announced themselves as Benton
candidates. The field will probably be
left to one Of these gentlemen. If so, he
viii give Craig close run-will beat
him largely, if the whole Benton force
uAites upon him. The Americans also
possess considerable strength in the Dis
trict. We believe they have not yet
made any move in the matter. They are
probably "lying low for ducks"

A Coon TnE Comxe.-The folks on
the border of Missouri look on the Nor
mon war as +" good time coming" since
IT will create . demand for labor, produce
and animals, which will be eminently
beneficial to that region. The Indepen-
dence Messenger says:
The outfit Of this army win be itself
an immense business, requiring no doubt
so 900 head Of work animals in the shape
of horses, mules and cattle; and govern
ment will give fair price for these arti-
clcs, which will scatter an immense sum
of money among the farmers and Others
of Missouri.
The outfit, last spring, to put in mo-
ton $500 men, required 1900 wagons
and teams. These same men have to be
supplied, this season, with an addition OF
probably 5000 more, which, according
to the same rule, will require near 1000
wagons and teams to haul them. Alto
gether, it is reasonable to suppose that it
will cost at least $4,000. 900 for the
wagons and animals alone, and the whole
expense incurred cannot be less than
So, 600, 600 to $4,000, 900. With this
heavy expenditure on our frontier. we
confidently predict plentiful supply of
money among us, and with the large sur
plus of grain and provisions in the coun-
try, which will sell at reasonable prices,
VIC may expect more prosperous season
for all classes than has ever been witness
