shut every door to sympathy Mr. Clemens
showed that the law of population governed
this question. The population and capital of
the South does not want territory, but he showed
that the object of the proposed Southern Con.
federacy was to reopen the African slave trade.
The Union would never be able to secure much
more territory. He reprobated the South for
sending commissioners to Europe to effect an
alliance against their own brothers in language.
If so be the seeding States should take the
present Constitution Of the United States as the
basis of their provisional government, the cot
ton States will have legislative power over
the border slave States, which will be bound
hand and foot to their policy, with an appre-
hensiveness intensified fifty times from that now
existing in the North,
Several gentlemen moved that Mr. Clemens
have leave to continue his remarks beyond the
hour allowed.
Mr. Martin of Virginia excitedly expressed
the hope that the member would not be allowed
to continue his traitorous remarks.
There was much confusion, but It soon sub
sided.
Mr. Washburne Of Wis, advocated the mi
nority report from the committee of thirty-three,
made by himself. He was opposed to giving
slavery any guarantee in the Constitution, and
also to the admission of New Mexico.

This is the pioneer society in this region, and it has
thus far been eminently successful. Few towns in
the state can compete with Wilmington in the uni
fonny superior excellence of her neat stock and no
town is favored with more. enterprising intelligent
farmers We suggest the proprety of such an
amendment to the constitution as to secure weekly
meetings throughout the winter for the consideration
of reports essays and the like and for discussions of
all matters connected with agriculture, stock growing

RELIEF FOR KANsAs.-William c. Bryant
chairman of the New York Kansas relief COM
mittee, publishes a card in denial of Gen. Har-
ney's assertion that the donations from the East
go to Montgomery's band and are used to pur-
chase arms and munitions of war :-"In view
of this statement the committee beg leave to
say that all the money sent out by us has been
expended by our own agents, whom we know
and can trust, in the purchase of sacks and for
the transportation into Kansas of grain freely
contributed by the people of the western states.
And the report of the receipts and distribution
of food, just received by the committee from
Gen. Pomeroy, distributing agent at Atchison,
shows total distribution during one week
ending December %, of 1855 pounds of
food in twenty-six different counties. or this
amount, Linn county, where Montgomery is re-
puted TO be, had only $1,000 pounds of flour,
meal beans, and clothing, which was a special
consignment by the donors to that county, while
no less than l2S, 900 pounds were sent to Doug
las, Marshall, Nemaha and Wabaunne counties,
all of which are far distant from Montgomery S
district. A well known and reliable man writes
also from Scott township, Linn county, Deem
her 18th as follows: 'All the arms and ammu-
nitions we have received from the aid society in
Linn county is 200 pounds of flour and 600
pounds OF meal, and the people have eaten them
all up long since. The Committee, therefore,
believe that General Harney's statement is en-
tirely without foundation, as regards this COM
mittee and our authorized agent, S. c. Pome-
roy, Atchison, Kansas territory; and we further
state that reliable accounts from all parts of
Kansas confirm the statements heretofore made
of the great distress and necessity for immed-
ate relief"

HE ADMISSION OF KANsAs.-The bill for the
admission of Kansas into the Union passed the
Senate, on Monday, in concurrence with pro-
posal of amendment, which sends it back to the
House. There the amendment will be stricken
out and this will involve another journey to the
Senate. If by that time we shall have gotten
rid OF lverson (who remains only for mischief
and one more reasonable Gus, the bill will pass
as it now stands, and long deferred, tardy JUS
tice will be meted out to the suffering people
of that much abused territory If the South
hope to gain anything by further continuance
of democratic misrule over the people of Kan
sas they will find themselves mistaken "Bleed-
ing Kansas" has been bird of ill-omen to
them. 1t has done more to unite the North
against further aggressions of the slave power
than all other means combined. The repeal of
the Missouri compromise, Calhoun's frauds and
the Lecompton swinde have been the death of
the democratic party.

The FREE STATES SPEAKING.-The spirit of
the country is on the rise, the people having
become disguised with the arrogance of the
Southern rebels, and with the imhecility of the
administration. New York has placed her i'm
mense resources ut the service of the nation
The great Northwest is speaking through its
representatives. Mr.. McClernard, a well known
democrat from Illinois, has told the South that
the Western people will not submit to the loss
of the free navigation of the Mississippi in
language not to be mistaken; and one of his
democratic colleagues, Mr. Morris. was no less
emphatic in his denunciation of dsunionism.-
The very best speech made in Congress, for this
many day, is that which came from Mr.. Cur
ley, of Ohio, on Wednesday last, in which he
enumerated the multitudinious sins of the South
against law, order, morality, and civilization,
and declared that his constituents were in favor
OF the enforcement of the laws a, all hazards,
and at every cost. What is wanted is firmness
on the part of the government, and no more
treating with armed rebels. They know no law
but the law of force, and that should be ad-
ministered to them in full measure, heaped up

tors from Kansas will be Republicans, which
will make net Republican gain of ten in tho

ANOTHER SEVERE SroRM.--The snow storm of
Wednesday Of last week. was of n scverer character
and more damaging to railway ocomotion than anv
one experienced in this vicinity for several years.
Less than foot of snow fell but it was nearly as
compact and heavy as hail, and without sufficient
moisture to give it conference. To the cast and south
the snow was moasurably changed to rain. AT
Springfield, Mass, no snow fell until after midnight
Wednesday, but at hafpast one in the afternoon loud
penls of thunder heard, accompanied by bright
flashes of lightning Conductor Fleming of the up
train in the afternoon reported severe thunder storm
at Tolyoke, about three o'clock The rain in that vi
cnity fell in torrents and the was well water
soaked.
The detention of trains by this storm WINS remark
able. The train over the Vermont and Massachusetts
railroad due here at five o'clock p. M did not arrive
until six o'clock the next morning, and it failed at
that of making any connection with the train from
Boston the Fitchburg road. The New York train
due here at half-past four p. m, arrived ut South
Vernon not more than two three hours behind time,
but owing to the non-arrval Of the other trains did
not reach this village until brought up by the Vermont
and Massachusetts train. On board of it was n new
married couple from Bernardston, who spent their first
night after marriage in the cars The northern train
got stuck in the on the Sullivan road Just above
Sugar river bridge in Claremont. he soft snow
froze almost solid Immediately upon being pressed in
to piles before the engine and had to be chopped out
the three engines attached not being able to put it
through. 1t was full twenty-five hours behind time,
not reaching Brattleboro until about five o'clock
Thursday afternoon. Thursday morning train for
the south was made up at Bellows Falls and brought
the mails and passengers due here the afternoon pre-
vious from the Rutland and Burlington railroad. The
Wilmington and Townshend stages did not leave
Brattleboro usual Wednesday night; the former
went out Thursday morning and the latter held over
until Thursday evening The storm and electricity
impedcd telegraphic operations, and prevented oul
getting market reports as usual. The average depth
of snow at the close of this storm full three feet
