The Mon mon Rebeiitoa and the Scheminx
Sectional Politicians at Washington.

The late defeat of the Army bill, intended for
the suppression Of the Mormon rebellion and
the extinguishment OF the scandalous abomina-
Young, throws heavy weight of responsibility
upon the shoulders OF the scheming sectional
and faetious politicians of the United States
Senate who combined to reject the just and sea-
sonable recommendations Of the President
The Mormon community are in state of
open rebellion--formally proclaimed and Or
ganized by their civil and military authorities.
The news which we published yesterday, direct
from Salt Lake, leaves no doubt upon the sub
ject. The message Of Brigham Young, the Gov
ernor, to the Territorial Legislature asd the re-
solutions OF both branches of the Legislature
endorsing the message, practically amount to a
declaration Of war, and narrow down the issue
government of the United States and the high
priest and supreme dictator Of Mormondom
Fully apprised Of this condition Of things and
fully aware of the prevailing sentiment of
all classes Of the American people, Mr..
Buchanan, in his annual message, applied
to Congress for a reinforcement of the
army 10 the extent of four or FIVE thousand men.
He had evidence enough before him to know
that this reinforcement would be indispensable
TO the early and complete subju cation or expul-
sion OF the robellious Mormons
In pursuance Of the Presidents appeal, the
appropriate committee brought forward their
bill to secure this proposed increase of the

which lie nearly wo-thirds democratic, this bill,
in every shape aud form, has fallen to the
ground. What can be the meaning OF this,
has now, therefore become the great question.
We say the great question for the Kansas ques-
ton, principle and facts, we may pronounce to
be substantially settled. The principle OF
popular sovereignty in reference to slavery
will result in making Kansas free State, what
ever may be the distractions of her Lecompton
constitution. The facts in regard to election
frauds, forgeries and swindles, may be safely
left to the settlement of the people of Kansas
themselves. The simple ceremony Of admitting
Kansas az State Is all that is needed to re-
move this bone Of contention from Congress
and from the political agitators Of the country,
and that act will be shortly done.
The Mormon rebellion. then, becomes the
paramount question Of the day, and the politi-
cal considerations interests and contingencies
in this connection suggested by the defeat Of
the aforesaid Army bill, cannot be diregarded.

thousand souls have SET up little prieEly

A belligerent contemporary, who seems to
have been indulging in q Rip Van Wrinkle
sleep for q couple Of years or 80, has just walked
up to the probability of desperate blood and
murder conflict in Kansas Our contemporary is
general as well as an editor, chevalier, minis.
ter and the lord knows what beside; hence it Is
but natural that he should take the warlike
view of most subjects which he treats But he
IL very savage indeed just now. lie says that
the President is acting " rashly and wickedly -
that "he knows that the people of Kansas will
resist with arms" rather than submit to the Lee
compton constitution; that the people of the
North in body "will aid them in driving from
their soil the foot Of the oppressor;' that sub
mission would be the death knel of our liber-
ties" that "Mr. Buchanan has not nerve enough
for such CRISIS" that /" be dare not attempt to
enforce" the Lecompton constitution; but that
be is 20 inscriptions that he may Try il
after all, in which case the people of the North,
led by the doughty General in person, would
rally to the support Of the Kansas men, and rem
der their resistance successful" that they
fought not to stand by and see them crushed;"
that "a dreadful state of things is impending;
and that the only part ft for a patriot at this
juncture is TO shoulder the musket and report
TO the General for orders
From these quotations it will be perceived
that the slumbers Of our worthy contemporary
may have commenced some couple Of years
since, and that he has not been long enough
awake to realize that anything has taken place
in Kansas since then. He evidently fances that
the situation 10 the same as it was when, on the
floor of the Philadelphia Convention, the bel
ligercnt General declared his readiness to march
then and there, with sword or with lance, on
foot or on horseback, against the South or in
deed against anybody else who happened at that
moment to be in his way.
II must be relief to his over chsfed mind to
peruse the calm, quiet, business like letters from
Kansas which we have lately been publishing;
and to learn from them how very far from the
truth IL the crazy notion that the people Of
Kansas are disposed TO embark in civil war
about the Lecompton constitution, or indeed
about anything else. He will ascertain by
careful study " Ia9sG Yalpaals pud reliable

TIE FRENCH CRrsTs.-The new government

The LATE INDIANA DEMOCRATIC STATE Con-
vENTIoN AND ITS NEW PATTY HUMBUG.-One of
our morning contemporaries makes great pa
rade of the anti-Lecompton proceedings of the
late Douglas Democratic State Convention of
Indiana, and gives US very fatty to understand
that the said Convention have initiated move
ment which will result in new Northern demo-
cratic party. Fudge. A weak device to fright
en- off the Northern supporters of the Lecomp-
ton constitution in Congress. Suppose party
were to be organized upon the ant-Lecompton
popular sovereignty" plank of Mr.. Douglas,
what would become Of II with the quiet settle
ment of the Kansas trouble by her admission as
State? The only plank of the party would be
gone. II is too late for a Douglas-Kansas de-
mocratic party; but if he wishes popular So
vereignty" party of his own, his only chance
now 10 Utah and the Mormons. Let him fan
back upon the popular sovereignty" of Utah.

far from being exercised on the subject on tneir
constitution or anything else in the p. ltical
world are as tired Of the political squahSls a.
any of us; and that the great bUiA
of the rank and file of the fire
State party are ready and determined
to accept the Lecompton constitution If Congress
admits the State under 1t, and to take the
earliest opportunity, according to their conve-
nience, to amend whatever is unsuitable or de-
fective therein. There are of course few sur
viving Political leaders to whom the Late contest
has been beef and bread; they may continue to
shrek for some time to come, but no one is
listening to them. Not only have the rank and
file of the free State party given up all thought
of politics and devoted their whole attention to
the subject Of their private business, but the
bulk of the politicians, too, have Tilted the
slavery question. From the letter we publish
this morning from Kansas, and from the
extracts which it contains from one of
the most noted organs of the free State
party, it will be seen that the political
leaders ~of that party have entirely forgot
ten their old love in their ardent attention to
the seat of government question. So disgrace
full scene of corrupt legislation as is pictured
in these extracts we hardly remember to have
seen before; yet the picture is drawn by friend
and partisan of the leading parties.
In word, considerations of land speculation
and corner lots-the Minneola land scheme
have usurped the place formerly occupied
hx fha slow in tha ,spJp of
all those inhabitants of Kansas who are
not exclusively engaged with their pri-
vate affairs. There is not State
or Territory in the Union where people are
quieter and take less interest in general politics
than Kansas. AS to getting up civil war
there-persuading the people to appeal to arms
to resist the Lecompton constitution-pouri
in Northern sympathizers in order to render
their resistance to the administration powerful,
the idea is palpably absurd and ridiculous; it
would be hailed with roars of laughter by the
people of Kansas themselves
BelligsCent articles read we'll, and with the
temper of our contemporary such productions
are natural. But as general rule before pro-
claiming war, our contemporary, as q military
man, must be aware that there must be two
parties to fight. The misfortune with regard to
the future Kansas war Is that there is nobody to
fight against the administration; unless perhaps
Jim Lane and the few of his friends, headed by
the General. Chevalier himself, undertake the
contest. Would this pay? We put it to our
contemporary as q military man-Would it pay?
On foot or on horseback? With the sword or
with the lance?
