Wise is his own antithesis; that his own letter of November sufficiently refutes this of February ; and that the ground occupied by him in November, when he was willing to accept a Kansas Con- stitution “slave or free’? directly from a con- vention, is the ground occupied by the Admn- istration in the present position of the Kansas question. The Intelligencer is oceupied with pews mat- ters, Congressional proceedings, and Code arti- cles. oe WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Sxxator Joxgs, or Iowa.—The remarks made by this distinguished gentleman not long since in presenting to the Senate, resolutions of instruction to him to vote against the admis- sion of Kansas into the Union, with the Le- compton Constitution, having been extensively misrepresented by the opposition letter-writers. we take oceasion to quote them, (and the reso- lutions superinducing them.) from the official record—the Congressional Globe. Of them, we have to say, that they are characterized by that spirit of manliness for which their author is so justly famed. While no other man in publie life is more earnestly devoted to a con- scientious discharge of the functions of his of- fice, pone other more scrupulously carries out what he regards to be the will of his constit- uents, maturely made up, on any and all sub- jects wherein they bave a direct interest. Yet he is a gentleman of far too great independence of character to bow to the assumption of a right do dictate his votes on the part of an accidental abolition majority of the Legislature of Iowa. on & question not in issue in their own election, and upon which there is not the slightest reason to believe that a majority of their ecmatituente differ from his views of the fitness of dsings, on full information in the premises.

I believe that the people of ansas bave had opportunities of expressing their views at the ballot-box ; that they have re- fased to do so; that perhaps a majority of them— the Republican party almost ananimously—re- fused to express eny spision on the subject.

Ninety-nine percent. of the audience was com of Black Republicans; the remaining portion was made up of thoxe Democrats who have been seduced from the party faith—some by private griefs, some by the insid- ious teachings of the enemy, and some bya desire for notoriety—no matter at what cost. By the real party men of the city, this meeting was avoided as if it carried contagion in its embrace. Though hundreds of notes were sent to prominent Demo- crats, imploring them to lend their names to this atenipted swindle upon the party, to the ever- lasting credit of these men be it stated, that a!l their solicitations were spurned with loathing and contempt. The party is for the President, and they will not insult his former services and Present position, by consorting with Black Re- publicans in this attempt to stab him under the ywask of friendship.’* (+ eee CONGRESSIONAL. Thirty-fifth Congress—First Session. ‘Tue Sexatr was not in session yesterday Ix THe Hous, yesterday, after the close of our report— Mr. Boyce, of 8S. © , from the Committee on Elections, presented the report in the cases of the contested election between Messrs. Brookx and Davis, of Maryland. The memorial of Mr. Brooks, the contestant, states thatthe election was one wherein gross frauds were Leslee and large numbers of citizens deprived, by violence, of thetr right of franchise. To prove this declaration by calling up witnesses and taking testimony, Mr. B. ae would be almost impracticable, Lesause of the dangers which such witnesses would incur. He, therefore, asks that, instead of proceeding inthe usual way of contesting an election. the House, on being satisfied that frauds and violence were perpetated in the case of the election referred to, order a new election to be bad Mr. B.'s statements are sustained by numerous well-known and respectable citizens of Balti- more ; but they are denied by Mr. Davix, the sit- ting member. ‘fhe Committee tend to the opinion of the lot- ter gentleman, and cite the circumstance that Mr Wyte, a contestant against Mr Hers from the same city, is now engaved in takfirg testinio- ny in that city, and all is proceeding quietly. ey, therefore, report against the centestant, and submit the ert 3 resolution : Resolved.

Roane, Esq. The apparent purpose of the writer is to awaken p a more correct discrimination as to the relutive merits of the productions of Northern and Southern authors.
