"AmbaSsadors.n

We are glad to learn, as we do, from the
Washington Constitution, that the resolu-
lions adopted by recent caucus of Demo-
cratic Senators, were not designed as q
platform for the Democratic party, nor to
forestall the action of the Charleston Con-
vention in the matter of a platform but
that the aforesaid Democratic Senators were
stimulated to this work by a solemn sense Of
duties, as Ambassadors of Souereignties,"
"to express and define their opinion on all
matters relating to the rights Of those SOW
ereignties." The Constitution, however,
claims for them also "ambassadorial immu-
mites" and exemptions from obligations be-
longing to ordinary citizens. 1t is hardly
worth while for "ambassadors' to trouble
their head about the affairs of their sover-
eigns, when the sovsreigns themselves are SO
soon to meet in general congress at Charles.

They Have Gone and Done 1t.

Hon. Cyrus ALDR1cH has given notice
in the House Of Representatives, of bis inten-
ton to introduce bill removing the capital
of the United States to some point West Of
the Mississippi. Minneapolis, and the
Colonel's addition thereto is the exact spot
for the capital. 1t is just half between the
equator and the north pole, and is in an
exact air line from London, Timbuctoo, and
New York.
In the House of Representatives, on Fri.
day last, Hon. WILLIAM WINDOW, ("sweet
William,") attempted to make speech, and
broke down The House then gave VIII.

The Kansas Fund of 1856.

The Chicago secretary of the Kansas
Fund, of 1856, states on oath, before the
Washington Committee, the sum raised to
have been 100000. Besides this, there
were rifles, provisions, clothing, and other
contributions of great value-much Of
which was sold afterwards for cash y
and there was great noise about the CONVEX.

What the public want to know is, what
became of the $4,000, of which only
$4,000 are accounted for in guns %
Who has it A.? What was done with it?
If the facts can be got at, we venture to
say, good part of it was spent to promote
the election of FREMONT in 1856, and to
make or keep certain States d" Republican N
afterwards. Thus were fools duped to sup.
ply funds for rogues.

The Sectional Foray Against Douglas.

The two late speeches on Douglas, from .
Republican. and Democrat, coming Just at
this time, will have much effect on the ap-
preaching party fight at Charleston.
The above extract is the closing sentence
of a Washington letter to the Pennsylvania
Inquirer, and refers to the speeches of Messrs.
CURRY, of Alabama, and KELLOGG, of ILL
nois-the one Southern Fireeater, and
the other Northern Black Republican.
In temper they were equally vindictive, and
in tone equally sectional. The notice of
them, given above, though mild and careless
enough not to excite special attention, real.
ly gives the cue to the object Of the bulk of
the political discussions which have trans
pired in Congress during the present session.
These discussions are participated in, mostly,
by the fanatics of the North-and South, and
are directed to single point-the defeat of
DOUGLASS nomination at Charleston. In
this work the Abolitionists and Secession.
lists are "hail fellows, well met" They are
both laboring for sectional advantages, and
they naturally put forth all their energies
against the statesman who, infinitely beyond
all others, interprets in his doctrines and
deeds the conservative, Union-loving senti>
ment of the country.
This unnatural alliance between the ex>
tremes of the pro-slavery and antislavery
organizations against DOUGLAS, does not fail
to attract the attention, and excite the ap-
prehension, as we'll as the indignation, of
the conservative masses. The victories
achieved by DOUGLAS throughout all the
North snd in many portions of the South,
in the selection of delegates to Charleston,
are evidence both of the thorough awaken
ing of the conservatism of the country, and
of its power. This power is constantly in
creasing. 1t has already arrived at proper
tions which leave little room to doubt that
it will be victorious at Charleston. The
nomination of DOUGLAS, secured under such
influences, will be, of itself, prophecy of
his election.

New YORK TO WAsH1NaToN.-The Rail-
road companies between New York and
Washington are considering plans for filling
up the three gaps that break the through
connection of the route, at Philadelphia,
Havre de Grace and Baltimore. The pro.
position is to introduce ferry boats at Phil
adelphia that shall take the cars across
without breaking bulk, bridge the Susque-
hanna at Havre de Grace, aud run the cars
Trough the streets of Baltimore. The
bridge at Havre de Grace is already in its
earliest stages; but will not be completed
sooner than three years; the structure will
be 5000 feet long, costing over half a mil
lion dollars. When these improvements are
made, so that the same cars will go through
from Jersey City to the foot of Capitol
Hill in Washington, an effort will be made
to extend the track by tunnel under the
Hill, bridge the Potomac, and put the
northern road in complete connection with
with the southern

A VIE Personal Attack.


The Minnesotian, Of the 22d, contains a
personal attack upon J. w. MoCLuNa, ESQ.,,
e'Merrimac') which, for vileness and false
hood, rather exceeds the average of the
editorials 10 that journal. One charge pre-
ferred against Mr.. McCLuNa is that he
belongs to class Of Southern gentlemen
"who, unable to be respectable at the
"place of their origin by owning niggers,
come up North to get Office and lead the
Democratic partyp Weare glad a charge
of this character is made against our cores
pondent, for it enables us to relate cir
cumstance in point, and which would not
otherwise have been made public. Last
summer, by the death of relative, he be-
came the owner of number OF negro slaves
in Kentucky; but Mr.. McCLuNa did not
sell them, pocket the money, come North,
and then turn Republican, "to get Office"
as Others have done. He emancipated the
negroes-settled them in free state, and
then generously provided for their immediate
wants. By selling the negroes, he would
have realized eight or ten thousand dollars,
in cash-a convenient sum in Minnesota
these times. Is there a man in St. Paul
who believes that either of the editors of
the Minnesotian, with all their professions
would have sacrificed sum of this amount
to convictions of duty and justice? A
gentleman who ran on the Republican ticket
last fall, in this county, for an important
Office, is now living in the South, upon the
earnings of slaves to which he fell heir after
the election. We don't blame him, either,
for the chances are as ten to one, that the
negroes are better off in the South than
they would be if freed and brought North.
The Minnesotian further says that Mr..
M'CLUNa is subjuct to " fits of lunacy,"
when " he rushes either to the outskirts of
the city and builds one horse sheds, which
he calls houses" or indites articles for this
journal. =" Builds one horse Sheds" does he?
Is CONG lt Hall one horse shed? If it is,
some improvements could be made to it,
probably, if the Black Republicans would
pay Mr.. McCLUNG for the use of the build
ing last fall, during the canvass. Is the
stone block near the bridge, on Third street,
she'd" A portion of it was built by
Mr.. McCLUNa and he informs US he would
endeavor to relieve it of its L" sheddy" ap-

the use of the "shed."
Mr.. MCCLUNe, since his advent in st.
Paul, has worked earnestly, and with sue
cess, for the advancement of the city. In
three years, he did more for its improve
ment, in the way of building substantial and
elegant houses, than the Republican Gov.
ernor of the State, with all his wealth, has
done in twelve years.
