SPIEIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union, in a powerful article, exposes the humbuggery of the attempt of those seek- ing to revolutionize the Government, te gene- rate the impression that the cause of their party in Congress as against the rest of the Government of the United States, is parallel with that of the people of England, as against the Stuarts—and all that sort of nonsense. The Intelligencer urges compromise between the two Houses of Congress. While arguing that the obnoxious laws of the Legislature of Kansas are a blur on the civilization of-the ase, the editor contends that the remedy Pro- pared for them by the Republican mojority of one vote in the House, involves ueurpation on the part of that majority of the functions of the Executive; and is therefore more dan- than the evil it seeks to cure. He (the editor) advises the repeal of the territorial laws in question, by Congress, and points to the alleged fact that both the Senate and Hcuse have em- phatically condemned them. po WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. The Controversy.—With the exception of a ingle feature thereof, the two Houses of Con- gress agree perfectly concerning every item of the army appropriation bill. That feature—the Pproviso—is not germain to the measure and is an unusual one. It is legislation to subserve ® political end incorporated in an appropria- tion bill. In all cases of disagreement such a3 the one to which we refer, it is the duty of the House suggesting the matter to which the other Houre demurs, to recede; as the Con- stitution clearly declares that nothing shall be- come a law to which both Houses do not con- sent. In insisting on engrafting a matter of Political legislation, intenscly obnoxious to four-fifths of the Senate, upon an appropria- tion bill, the majority of one member of the House are as clearly seeking to force the for- mer body to pass a measure repugnant to its sense of duty and right, as though that major- ity planted cannon at the doors of the Senate chamber, and, with match in hand, demanded its enactment. There is deep meaning in the attitude of this majority of one. The point it seeks thus to compass is a part of the plan of revolution jnaugurated in the action of the Legislature of Massachusetts in nullifying the fugitive slave law. From the moment that Legisiature de- clared the fugitive slave law inoperative within the limits of its jurisdiction, it has been without power and legal effect therein. Mass- achusetts is now in open practical rebellion against that law. Ln this course of conduct, she bas been followed by Connecticut, Ver- mont, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Each of those States, though thus in open rebellion to a law of the United States solemnly pro- nounced to be constitutional by the supreme judiciary of owr country, sends Representa- tives here to defeat the appropriation bills, and break up the Government If they now succeed in carrying their point, their next rovolutionary attempt will be to Tefuse to pass the general (or executivo, legis- lative, and judicial appropriation) bill, unless Congress will so legislate in connection with that measure as practically to reverse the de- cision of the Supreme Court with reference to the rights of the owners of fugitive slaves They will follow up the same policy in legis- Jating cn other appropriation bills whenever they may desire to compass the triumph of a mew aggression on the slavebolding States. Their policy is thus to stop the wheels of the government whenever they desire to revolu- tionize it in any particular feature. It is high time that the South should com- prehend this game of theirsin all its length and breadth. The South entered the Union on certain stipulated conditions, guaranteeing to her certain rights. Were she asked to sur- render them all at once, we know that she does not contain a gon among her citizens who would hesitate to prefer dissolution to contin- wance in such a union as that of the States of this confederacy would be after acquiescence in such a course, on her part. The policy of the revolutionary party of the North, however, is to effect its end of abolishing one by one the guaranteed rights of the South under the con- atitution, simply because it (that majority) is weil aware that it is easier to usurp and de- atroy by easy stages, than by a bold and manly attempt to accomplish all at which it aims, at asingle blow. Forewarned, is, or ought to be, forearmed. The Pretence.—The following summary of the actual state of things in Kansas, truthful to the letter, which we take from the Journa/ of Commerce of Saturday last, embraces, without being designed £0 to do, a glaring ex- posure of the utter falsity of the plea thay the proviso is necessary to Prevent the “ bor- der ruffians” from committing outrages on their political opponents in the Territory. Who can read it without comprehending that, in such « state of things, the & political movement to com sion on the Scuth involved in the purpose of excluding slavery from Kansas by direct inter- ference on the part of the General Govern- ‘ani “Tae news prom Kansas —Unless the ad- viees from Kansas are greatly exaggerated civil war bas commenced there in earnest » and from the simultaneous and systemr,tic operations of the assailants, i ©, the Yree State men, it is pretty clear that their action waa preconcerted Farther, we sho ald not be eurprised to know that men at the east aro preps bottom of the m: vement.

Dread of the effect of demagogism at home on their individual political future if they dare vote what they believe to be right in this matter, has alone kept them so far up to this work of Mesars. Greeley, Giddings, Grow & Co. Many of those to whom we refer, who are strong sympathizers with the cause of no slavery in Kansas, are also greatly dissatisfied with the miserable political use to which their dictators are putting that cause. Nevertheless, we have no reason to antici- pate the change of a single voter among them all. Such a thing as personal independence amongst them no longer exists. They follow the lead of Mr. Grow, under the shouts of Mr. Giddings, and the lash of Mr. Greeley, with no apparent realization that the Constitution designed them to be free agentz. Talk about the siavery of a southern plan- tation, where all hands turn out at the sound of tho bell or horn, tremble at the voice of the overseer, and do their allotied tasks day by day! Why, it isa mere circumstance to what one may now witness on the part of those in the House hall, who are laboring with might and main to revolutionize the Government of the United States, though at least half of them are as discontented with their task mas- ters as ever plantation negroes were with theirs.

The Speaker ruled that motion out of or- er. Mr. Cobb, of Georgia. appealed to the House to consider Mr. Campbell’s motion by uuan- imous consent. Mr. Washburne, of Lilinois objected.

The same party stopped for a few days in Paris under circumstances little calculated to relieve them from the sus- poi which already followed them.

But com- paratively few of Mr. Webster's letters were ever published ; and the few familiar letters already given to the public, such as those to his farmer of Franklin, John Taylor, and that composed at Richmond, Virginia, on the morn- ing, give striking evidence that he was not | enly great in the Senate and in Court, but as & letter-writer.

A MISERABLE FRAUD EXPOSED.

Administration ; the Criminal Court of the District of Columbia being amen- able not to the President, but to Congress only, through impeachment. We pronounce false the statement of the aforesaid document intimating that the Secre- tary of State—Mr. Marcy—sought to screen the accused, by lending bis influence to pre- vent Mr Dubois, the Netherlands Minister, ftom testifying in the case; that gentleman's Government having expressly forbid him from testifying under circumstances wherein he would be compelled to submit himself to the usual cross-examination, the only system of giving testimony known to our laws, and Mr. Dubois having asked permission of his Gov- ernment to testify in that way at the sugges- tion and solicitation of Secretary Maroy. We have further to aver, that the Democratic party of this city are as united in condempa- tion of those individuals to whose improper conduct to that end the acquittal of the ac- cused is attributed, as it is possible for men to be on euch a subject. Far more so than their political opponents, of whom eleven were on the jury; the local law here allowing the accused the benefit of thirty-six peremp tory challenges, and the judge having permit- ted persons notoriously sympathising with the accused to sit upon the jury, eleven of whom» we repeat, were as hostile to the Democratic party as they are to the Irish. We are humble men, but we rezpect our- selves and our rights which have been out- raged by those unknown to us, who have un- deztaken for political effect to use our names as we have explained above. We have to ask those conducting journals of all parties who respect the truth, to spread before their read- ers this brief card. Parrick M. Keatrxe, Cartes Quine, Rob B.
