The Speech Of Lamar, Of Mississippi

WAsHrSGrex, December 9.
Douglas is reported to be down in the
mouth. and desperately discouraged.
He feeis that he is used up-that he is
politically dead. with no hope Of rssur.
rection. All the nit-Lecompton men
dsnounce him as 9 traitor to them and
false to his own pledges. Forney is in
diEnant at him. Gen. Schwartz. who
represents the old Gibraltar Of Pennsyl-
vania, (Berks) says that he is worse than
q Lecomptonite. MeKibben, Of Califor-
mia, called on him and taxed him with IN
gratitude to the gallant Broderiek. and
with having deserted and betrayed his
friends. He was very bitter on him.
All the Anti-Lecompton Democrats are
indignant at his apostncy to the enemy.
Outside of the Democrats from Illinois.
Douglas has not carried . single Anti
Lecompton man over to the Administra-
ton camp. Poor Douglas be is reap
ing the bitter fruits Of his back sliding.
The Southrons repel his embrace, aud re-
fuse to extend the hand Of political fel-
lowship to him. He stands no more
chance Of receiving the Charleston nomi-
nation than does VIM. H. Seward.
Both be and his Squatter Sovereignty
will be kicked incontinently out Of the
National conclave, if either presumes to
enter.
Lamar Of Miss, made the ablest spesch
vet delivered on that side Of the House.
It was furious, fiery, and extreme in its
character. Helpers book and Browns
invasion received his choicest adjectivss.
He charged the North with deliberately
fomenting treason, Instruction and car
mage in the South. Rape. murder, deluge.
war, earthquakes, assassins.-these words
we're loaded up and poured like discharg-
es Of grape into the. Republicans, who sat
quietly smiling at the ranting and rsying
of this mailman. He exceeded all who
had preceded him in volubility and vol
canic imitation. A volume Of smoke,
fame. sparks, and kissing, cracking lava
rolled and streamed out of his mouth
which was the crater. The Southern
clerks in the galleries applauded vocifer-
ously.
Among other things he shouted at the
top of his voice, "You Black Republi-
cans say you want to put the negro out
of this House. Put him out No sir,
not while twenty Southern men hold
seats on this floor by virtue ofnegro rep
resentatives." Turning to Kellogg. Of
H., "Do you believe the Constitution
gives the power to exclude Slavery in the
Territories ?" Kellogg replied, Speak.
ing for myself l most solsmnly do. ]
believe Slavery to be q great moral,
social, and political evil, for which you
in the Slave States are responsible. ]
deny the right of the North to interfere
with it in your States. but 1 also deny
your right under the Constitution to curse
the free and beautiful West with it. "
Lamar went on to combat these views at
some length, when he pronounced his
peroration and sat down.

The Admission of Kansas.
M. F. CONWAY AND OLD BUCK.
Important Interview.
A6OSt the WyandoH. Consultation.
WAsnInqroS. Dec. %. 1859.

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. 1859.
Mr. Conway. Congressman elect from
Kansas. came bearer Of two copies Of the
Wyandotte Constitution-on for the
President Of the Senate, the other for the
Speaker Of the House, if such an officer
is ever obtained. Being obliged to re-
turn Immediately to Kansas, Mr. Conway
placed the two Constitutions in charge Of
Mr.. Grow. of Pennsylvania, who. after
the organization Of the House. will de-
liver them to the officers named.
Yesterday Mr.. Conway had an inter-
view with President Buchanan, and re-
quested him to present the subject to Con-
gress in his Message, as in the case Of
Oregon.
The President replied that It would
not be necessary for the Constitution to
reach Congress through him. as the Con-
vention framing it took precautionary
steps to have it go directly to the presi-
ding officers Of the two branches Of the
National Legislature The President
said he would have no objections to send
it to Congress in Message, II, as in the
case Of Oregon, there was but one copy
here. and that in bis own hands. He
wished it distinctly understood that he
did not object to sending it to Congress
from any csptious spirit.
Mr.. Conway reioined that the Wysn-
DOTS Constitution provided, frst, that q
copy should be sent to the President Of
the United States, with the expectation
that be would communicate it to Con-
gresS. and that copies were also ordered
to be sent to the House as matter oil
convenience, and to obviate the difficulty
incurred in the case Of Oregon, where
the House was without . copy, the SEN
ate having the only one extant which &C
companied the Message. Mr.. Conway
said he had bFought the copies for the
Senate and House himself, bat that q

DEnocRAcT AND DIsuEIox.-t there
was ever any doubt as to which was the
DisuniOn party Of the country, we think
there can no longer be. The charge
against the Republican party Of the North
is az stale as it is false. Every day Dis
union sentiments are uttered. but they all
come from Southern Democrats. Not
one Republican hss-yet limited at Disun-
ion. The State of South Csrolins is foil
Of it; the Southern press tesns with Il |;
a large portion Of the Southern people
are wild on the subject Singleton; Of
Mississippi, Crawford. of Georgia, and
Q score of other Southern Congressman,
daily hiss it out in the halls Of Congress
and they are Democrats, all. The
Southern bears will get up and growl,
and the Northern simpletons will fall
down and exclaim "Oh, don't do so ;
you Brighten us It was not us that did
thus and so We viii defend the rights
Of the South-dcn't do this thing -
Union meetings are being held through
out the North-or, rather, meetings to
sympathizs with the South. Such men
as Edward Everett, Washington Hunt,
Joseph R. Ingersoll, and many others,
are belittling themselves by blovisting
and indulging in fustian at these meet
ings. The proceedings usually consist in
anathematizing the carcass of poor old
John Brown, and denouncing Helpers
book, which. otherwise. might have re-
manned an obscure print. But never q
breath is expended in condemnation OF
the rank and disgraceful Disunion senti.
ments daily beiched forth in the halls Of
Congress, or scattered broadcast by the
Democratic press Of the South. The
toadyism of these men is perfectly abject,
and even excites the disgust of Southern.
ers themselves. which is freely expressed
by their journals. and by their Reprssen-
tatives in Congress. It is pity that
great men will persist in lowering their
dignity, even after they have become a
laughing-stock for those whom they seek
to coneiliate. s-ma p s.F

Dan siekles in Congress.

On the 18th instant Daniel E. Sickles.
of whom the people know something,
rose in his seat to address the House. A
correspondent gives the following account
of what ensued
This excellent gentleman was prepar-
ed to deliver a set speech. He had a
stock Of documents beside him. Now
there was great interest to hear Sickles.
The people were leaning over and point.
ing him out. There was quite an agita-
ton in the ladies' gallery-as one indica-
ted to another with fan, or finger. or para
sol, which was the champion Of domestic
virtue, and the man who had forgiven an
erring wife, even though her sins were
numerous and approximating 10 scarlet.
Mr.. S. poised himself. His coat was
buttoned closely about his person. and he
looked, for moment. as cool as If his
white right hand had never pulled trigger
on defenceless man. But the members
of the House were strangely disquieted.
AS the Clerk recognized "the gentleman
from New York." there seemed to be a
disinclination to hear that gentleman.
The Republicans. particularly, were in a
turmoil. The word went round-"0,
it's Sickles-its Sickles-it's Sickles
who is up" Some Of the Democrats
thought it good opportunity to adjourn
by . viva voce vote. They tried it and
were successful. The House adjourned.
And the Honorable gentleman from New
York, with flushed brow. and look Tin
credible as it may seem, somewhat dis
concerted, took his seat, and gathered up
his documents.

PHEsrDgxr's MHssAaE.-Old Buck
eOuldn't hold IN any longer. but has let
i alp out at last. It possesses little in
tsrsst, asd we do not purpose boring our
readers with It. For wonder, he gives
Kansas the cold shoulder, and devotes
Aons Of the Message whatever to her ben
SIT.
He thanks God that, Notwithstanding
the manifold dement's Of the Govern
nsnt, our country has still prospered.
he delivers lecture on Harper's Fer
", and thinks It win be means Of AVA
ksning ali sections Of the country to the
dangers which threaten the Union, and
bad them together more strongly.
He sings uncaIled for HOsannas to the
bred Scott Decision, which is understood
TO be . "stAr bid" for the Charleston
nomination; and the slave-mSkers will
Be ungratsful wretches If they donOt give
ito him.
He says be has used, and will continue
10 use, ell his powers to prevent the AT
rican Slave Trade, and thereupon dilates
upon the subject-which is understood to
be all CANNON, to settle the stomach Of
the North. However, he sweetens the
dose for the Southern stomach, by argu-
ing what fine thing Slavery itself is.
and how well the niggers are treated.
He touches upon China, Paraguay.
France. Russia, and Spain, and recon-
meuds the purchase of Cuba.
The San Juan affair receives due
share Of attention.
he is excessively troubled about Mex
Eco, and would like to have an army sta
toned ill along the border. he would
like to have power to make war, and aO-
quire another slice of Mexico. to manu-
fActure Slave States.
he touches Central America lightly,
asks for Post Office appropriations. and
says Q word in favor Of the Pacific Rail-
road.
The balance of the Message is devoted
70 money matters. which are stringent.
and cause him trouble; and he urges
speedy efforts to raise the "spondulicks."
