The Union shows up the trickery of the game attempted last might in the House by a few Democrats, by which it is proposed to de- grade and defeat the great principle of non-in- tervention, upon which the Democratic party met the Republicans and conquered them in 1856. The Union thinks it remarkable that the Lecompton Constitation, now before the House by virtue of Democratic legislation and the action of the people thereon, is met at the moment of its reception by a movement, headed by @ prominent supporter and defender of the act of 1854, which disavowed the authority of Congress to control the action of the people of the Territories, by which it is proposed that the House of Representatives shall intervene in the local affairs of the people of Kansas in the most offensive mode known to our history. The Union gives the proceedings of the Mo- bile meeting upon the Walker-Paulding affair, and says, editorially - “« It will be seen that the bil feel a people of Mo- eeok | ‘warm interest in maintaining the sovereig rig! ts of the government bell aepe oe —— ly sensitive at any violation of the power of Congress to determine all acts of war on the part of the Federal Union. So far we heartily concur with-our Mobile friends. Dis- obedience to the laws of a free cuuntry, like ours, is far more to be reprobated and condemn- ed than kindred acts under despotic rule. The jaw, in the United States, imbodies a public judg ment of its approval, as well as fixes a rule the government of individuals. We xo,then, a little further than the people of Mobile, and insist that the expedition of Gen. Walker was fitted out and moved in express violation of an act aetna and should be condemned as such. The Intelligencer, replying in a serio-jocose strain fo the inquiry of a Georgia reader, pro- fesses not to be able to comprehend how it is that the Constitution, in the performance of its organic functions, finds itself capable of sup- plying, at a pinch, what are called Treasury Notes, while*it is against its nature to do the same thing under the name of Bank Notes. ————+e WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP Warm Tres iv tuz Hovse.—After dis- posing of the pending question relative to the Ohio contested election case «i 3) p. 1. yester- day, the question of the reference of the Presi- dent’s special message came up in the House, and Mr. Harris, of Illinois, amended his pend- ing proposition, so that it was made to call for the appointment by the Speaker of a select committee of fifteen, to be charged with the duty of investigating and-reporting on all the cireumstances connected with the history of the Kansas State Constitution, with power to send for persons and papers. On that he de- ‘manded the previous question, which, had it been given, would have prevented any further debate whatever on the subject. The Demo- eratic party in the chamber recognised in- stantly in this proposition a scheme to perpet- ‘uate the sectional controversy over the slavery question until the national election of 1360, and ot course opposed it by all the means within their reach. They were not to be entrapped. as the Re. publicans and their allies intended, by any such parliamentary tactics. Had they permitted the convenient proposition of Mr. Harris to prevail, they would have virtually legislated to stave of final action on the Lecompton Constitution until the last hours of the present Congress. In the mean time, going step by step towards the completion of their thorough identification with the schemes, measures and principles of the Republican party, their nominal Demo- eratic allies in the House would be able to de- vise some expedient for keeping the question over still longer for the benefit of those desiring to play in the next Presidenticl election on the abolition’ proclivities of the non-slaveholding States. These facts were so patent as that the Democracy of the House instantly determined to defeat the cunningly-devised abolition scheme; for it amounted to nothing more nor Jeas, in the consequences of its adoption. We left the chamber at 9 P. m., when they were still engaged in opposing its triumph by the legitimate expedient afforded under the rules governing the proceedings of the House, at that hour; calls for yeas and nays had been ordered, sufficient to continue the balance of the session until day break. The leading fact elucidated by the proceed- ings of last night is the completeness of the identification of the nominal Democratic co- laborers of Douglas with the Republican party. Thus.they fought shoulder to shoulder together t the night with the Republicans, and for the benefit of the principles and plans of the latter. Many of our political friends who have been cheating themselves with the hope that Mr. Douglas, and those thoroughly identified with him in his present anti-Demo- cratic party labors, only meant to get up a little hubbub inside of the Democratic organi- tation, we know, have thought hard of us for #0 soon and so emphatically taking ground against his new positions and affiliations. The work of his handful of nominal Demo- cratic supporters in the House hall; of last last night will, however, prove sufficient to sat- isfy our friends to whom we here allude that our judgment and course have been correct in this matter from beginning to end. Our ex- perience ia such matters assured us that they are on the bigh road to avowed Republican partyism, and we felt it to be a duty to apprise the Demoeraey of the fact, instanter. What sound and sincere Democrat, after thoughtfully examining the of the House last night, will dream longer that there is fair reason for hoping that, after all, the end and aim of Mr. Douglas and his friends is not to break down the Democratic party organiza- tion by strengthening the cause of anti-slavery in the hope of profiting by the favor of its yo- taries hereafter ? Tax Presient’s Texver ov tum OLive Buaxcu —The close observer of the proceed- ings of Congress will comprehend, from the temiper and tenor of the debate in the Senate o the day before yesterday on the , that the President's urgent appeals for & cessa! of the too long drawn out national controversy over slavery involved in his recommendation for the immediate entire remission of all their matters in issue to the people of Kansas them- selves, is quite as warmly opposed by the Dem- ceratic enemies of the Lecompten Constitution as by the Republicans. True. the former pro- test that they seek to keep open the controver- sy, not to that particular end, but only in the belief that the instrument is not acceptable to a majority of the people of the Territory. The plea that the latter cannot change the instru- ment as they may please immediately after the admission of the Territory into the Union has been abandoned, evidently, in Congress. With its abandonment expires, Becessarily, every hope of keeping alive the impression that Dem- ccratic opposition on the subject is not identical with that of the Republican party. The distant public will note the fect, so patent to all here, phat the practical sffiliation of both wing:—the Democratic and Republican party wings—of the opposition in Congress is complete. They rely upon identical arguments, clothed, it may be, im different tanguage=— True, Messrs. Douglas and Stuart protest that they would oppore the acceptance of a non-slave holding State Constitution, had t been sent here by the Lecompton Con: ag? earnestly as op; the now the Senate. \ speeches their present political affiliations a8. exp! q with so much naivete fn the Washington respondence of the bl party y that their cugrent ition’ the head and front of the Northern anti-slavery sentiment with reference to the future of the Territories of the United States? If any such there be, we advise them to study the leaders in the Philadelphia Press, which labors as openly and avdwedly for the triumph of “the Free State party of Kansas,’’ as the New York Tribune itself. The responses to the message that are reaching us by every mail in the columns of Democratic exchanges will, however, very shortly compel all in Congress who oppose its (the message s) recommendation to contend in an open field. These responses on the part of faithful Dem- ocratic journals, show that the great mass of the party at the North are rapidly coming to comprehend the hollowness of the pretence that has been abandoned here as explained above, that to receive the Lecompton Constitution will be to foree the people of the Territory to live under organic law that may be objection- able to a majority of them. The responses of the Republican party and fishy Democratic Press on the other hand, tell plainly that the latter can continue to wear that mask very little longer. When it may be thrown off else- where, the contest here will become one in which the mystification of positions at this point will be of no avail to strengthen the op- position. Then that policy will be entirely abandoned here also, of course. \ Tue Fieut ix rue House.—We have already heard several versions of the ‘fight’? which occurred in the House of Representatives last night, but the following is the best authenti- cated account we have been able to gather. It appears that the House was continued in ses- sion until about two o'clock, by a series of parliamentary stratagems to avoid a direct vote on the resolutions relative to referring the President’s Message which accompanied the Lecompton Constitution. These stratagies con- sisted in raising motions to adjourn, to excuse members from voting, to call the House, &c. Finally, Mr. Quitman, of Miss., attempted to introduce a resolution, which will be found in the report of the proceedings in another column. Of course, unanimous consent was necessary for its submission to the House, and no objection being made the Speaker proceeded to put the resolution to vote. At this stage of the proceedings Mr. Grow, of Pa , from a posi- tion on the opposite side of the House from where his seat is situated, and while passing down the aisle, objected to the resolution. Mr. Keitt, of S. C., said to Mr. Grow, “‘ Goon your own side of the House and object!’’ Mr. G. replied, “I'll object where I please,”’—and, report says, he added, “ without being intimi- dated by any Southern negro driver.”’ But few words passed before these gentlemen were engaged in a pitched battle, but as to which of them commenced it we cannot say. In the attempt of their friends and the officers of the House to separate them, Mr. K. was pushed down, but both the belligerents were carried from the scene of action in a very short time, and before they had received any serious injuries. In the meantime, however, a large number of Mr. Grow’s friends, headed, it is said, by Mr. Potter, of Wisconsin; poured into the arena immediately in front of the Speak- er’s stand. Here they were met by a nearly equal force of the opposition, and here oc- curred “ The shock of the two contending hosts.’’ A regular “‘free-fight’’ raged a few minutes but was finally broken up by the prompt inter- vention of the officers of the House aud many of the more thoughtful and conservative members. Nobody was hurt to any extent worth noticing. To say the best of the affair, it was disgrace- fal, but it will no doubt be greatly magnified by letter writers. From what we can learn, not more than ten or twelve members were really engaged in it as belligerents, the others having crowded up for the purpose of quelling the disturbance. Its principal result is deep mortification to the most active participants. After the termination of the affray, the ses- sion was conducted with quiet and order until adjournment. © Arnivep.—General Calhoun, of Kansas, reached this city by yesterday evening’s trair, and has rooms at the Kirkwood House. His original intention, we presume, was to have borne the Constitution to Washington in per- son. But as business of importance delayed his departure it was sent hither in the hands of another. General C., accompanied by Col. Jack Henderson, reached Harrisburz on the night before last, where H. remains for the time being, Pennsylvania being his original home. In Harrisburg, General Calhoun was the object of universal attention. Indeed, a company of perhaps one hundred members of the Legislature and other prominent Democratic politicians insisted upon a speech from him at his hotel, and he was thus compelled to address them briefly in explanation of facts connected with the present phase of Kansas affair, We have known Gen. C. long and well, and predict that his presence here will result in the dispersion of any existing doubts on the mind of any sincere member of the Democratic party, who, deceived by the persistent misrep- resentations of the opposition letter writers from Kansas and telegrapbers from St. Louis, may be still inclined to believe that frauds were committed to secure the triumph of the Le- eompton Constitution, on the same side, andin the subsequent elections. Tue Norra American Inpiaxs.— Below, the reader will find a communication upon the subject of the character of the aborigines of the North American continent, full of interest. No other among us has devoted more time or more talents and means to the study of the history and attributes of the various tribe’, nor is a1 y other better qualified to write about them: In leaking over the columns of the New York Ledger of September 19th, 1857, I find iu the §n- swer to a correspondent under the nomme de plume of Black Hawk, the following: “We do not srempathien with your aboriginal sentiment: 1- ism. Indians are a savage and inferior race, and will not repa; effort to civilize them.’? This, of course, bute to the editor, who either must havea sj asainst the Indians, or else is totally unacquainted with their character or history, and which we take the liberty to lo mit Indians are not, an a ener thing, a ‘savage and inferior race.” is troe that the wld hunter tribes who inhabit the the Rocky Mountains are thus does not follow that, beca: 80, necessarily In what are of rent endurance and fat ‘only they may be considered jucation and christianity will time However, their Cher kees, Choctaws, Chickasaws and C:eek«.

We do not like to hear the poor Indian run down and not allowed one good trait, as is continually done. 5.3.8. oer 4 a a long Indians, Aruy Orpvers.—The War Department has issued General Orders No. 1, in the follow- ing Courts-Martial cases: The decision of the Court-Martial held at Santa Fe, in September last, by which Brevet Major Wm. H. Gordon, was found guilty of drunkenness and insubor- dination, and sentenced to be cashiered, is con- firmed, but the sentence is commuted to ‘‘sus- pension from rank and pay, and confinement to the post for six months.’’ The decision of the Court Martial held at Fort Arbuckle, Choctaw nation, finding Private John Hollins guilty of an attempt to kill Cor- poral Suilivan, and of desertion, and sentencing him to be shot, is also confirmed ; but, in con- sideration of the provocation, the sentence is commuted to forfeiture of all pay andallowance now and hereafter due, and confinement at hard lebor, with ball and chain, until December Ist, 1859. This sentence is to be carried into effect at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Orricers or tar Niagara.—The following is a list of the officers detailed for the U. S. steam frigate Niagara, which is expected to leave New York about the Ist of March, on her return to England to assist in the renewed at- tempt to lay the Atlantic cable: Captain, Wm. 8. Hudson; Lieutenants, J. H. North, Joshua D. Todd, Jobn Guest, Wm. A. Webb, Edward Y. McCauley, and B. Ghe- rardi ; Surgeon, D. S. Green; Passed Asst do., Francis M. Gunnell; Ass’t do., W. G. Hay; Purser, J. C. Eldredge; Engineers— Chief, Joshua Follansbee ; First Ass’ts, John Farron and Wm. S. Stamm; Second do., Geo. R. Jobnston and Mortimer Kellogg; Third do., Jackson McElmell, Geo. F.

L. D. Campbell longer time in which to take testimony, by a majority of thirteen, may be regarded, we apprehend, as settling that con- troversy in favor of Mr. Vallandigham, the contestant ; the testimony on which the House will be called to act being such as that there can be no longer 8 doubt as to the final action in the case. The reason upon which this refusal was based was the belief of the majority that Mr. Campbell had failed to attend to his case; not having taken the requisite testimony on his side in the time allowed him heretofore to that end. Savery or rag Parry or Lr. Ives —As ap- prehensions have recently been expressed in respect to tho safety of Lt. Ives’s party, we are happy to state that a letter, just received in this city by the overland mail, from Dr. New- berry, surgeon of the expedition, dated Fort Yuma, December 25, mentions that the steam- ers Jesup and Colorado had come up the day before, bringing letters from Lt. Ives. He had arrived at the mouth of the river December 2d, and was expected up in a couple of weeks Resumption op Specie PayMent.—All the Banks of this city, and the Bank of Commerce and Farmers and Mechanics’ Bank of George- town, resumed specie payment to-day on all their liabilities.
