CAROLINA SPARTAN. ; KB. P1KRCK UN TAB ROSIMTIOJ. ' I On the evening of the 7th n ratification meeting, addressed by Senators Cass Rnd P~- !ar.t was held at Washington. After adjournment a vast concourse repaired to the Executive mansion, where Mr. Pierce delivered the following remarks, endortive of the nomination: I congratulate you. ray fellow citizens upon thu occasion which brings you lroro, and 1 indulge the contident hope that the joy with which you hail the harmonious and unanimous result of the deliberations at Cincinnati may be strengthened ar. 1 deepened by the ratifying voice of our countrymen. It is pleasant to realizo that, however other parties may be divided and distracted, there is nothing with us but union of purpose, and will ho nothing but union in action.

The preference of the con- I volition in the preference in this ctisis of < every fiicud who cares more for the coun- ? try than f?r himself. Devotion to the I cause, ami an earnest support of the stand 1 ard bearers who ate to lead us through the 1 great struggle, will constitute the control- < ling sentiment of the democracy, North and 1 South, East and West. Wo nro all, I am < sure, quite sincere in our convictions tlm. < not only the prosperity of the republic, but < the perpetuity of ibid blessed Union, depends essentially upon the vindication and < maintenance ol the principles declared by I the recent convention. Hut these ptlnei i p!os can bo vindicated and sustained only by concerted action, and that can only he < secured by organization. Ilence, GJelity i to this organization and its usages becomes, like fidelity to principles, a cardinal virtue. The latter can only be manifested and made effectual through the fotmer. My fiieudd will have duties to perform 1 in the canvass which tny position alone will prevent me from attempting to fulfil < in person.

Thcv wero all in the ! t field, not merely to encourage and direct, t but actually to lead the columns. Their i 1 energies wero not put forth because the! standard was in ray hands, but because its 1 bearer was, in their estimation, for the time 1 being, tho impersonation of those sound < constitutional principles which they bolicv- x cd oould alone give stability and penna i nonce to this glorious fabric of our iustitu- v tiona. !

COMRESS. lu the Senate, on the Olh, Mr. Trumbull, jf Illinois, introduced a bill placing the Territory of Kansas under the jut indicium 1 >f the Territorial government nnd laws of Nebraska, and w ilhdrau ing all the ollueis if the former. Mr. Trumbull explained that tho only ibject of tho bill was to extend the terii'.o ial government of Nebraska over Kansas, ind nboli.h the present got eminent of the atter territory, and the laws made by tl.eii Legidaliirc. lie thought the pioposiii n vas worthy of some consideration, as theie .%? ? a state of things now existing in Kanins which nil good nten mu.-t deplore. Ho did not care about having the lull roerred, as that would withdtaw it from the j :onsideiniion of the Senate. Mr. Douglas hoped it would be refetred i) tho committee on territories, who would ! repoit on it at an early day. It involved some grave question*, but lie was glad to see that the opponents of the Nebraska bill were beginning to acknowledge the piincil?le of that bill. Tim laws of Nebraska .ve.e made by tho people of Nebraska, nud ,i.? _r ir i -V - " .no !.? >* ui ix:?hs;is i?_v uie people ot lv in >:ib ; but the proposition now was to nbolaws made by the people of Kansas for their ;w:T government, ai.d to place them umler | ho laws of Nebraska, which they have iail no voice in making. Mr. Tiumbttll said that so far from no iiiovvledging the principle of the Nebraska jill, ho did not believe there was any prin riplo at all in it. It was understood in one vay at tho North. and in another at the south. Hut ho would admit that this l ill vas not ruch a pioposilion as he should >refer. He regarded tho repeal of the di.-souii Compromise as tho cause of all ho mischief; and he would b?? glad to le tore things to their foiiner position. Hut his was a temporal V expedient not in ended to carry out his own wishes tullv. Ie meant to occupy a conservative ground ipon this question, an 1 was willing t->)ieM omething, for he was sortv to see etiif?n Kansas,and was anxious that some inca ire should be immediately adopted to re ! tore pc.toe to that unhappy Territory. Mr. Douglas said lie was a* anxious a-4 lis colleague to have peace and quietfies* estorc l in Kansas. lie was willing to ! ield iomcfliiug also; but he would yield! rhat some of the people of Kansas leftis d to yield, and that was implicit obedinco to the laws of the land. If every- 1 ody would d > this tlieio would be no 111* < ulty in Kansas, or any where else. Hut instead ?>f compelling the iiot> rs and ieels to sul-mit to the law, tliev were to bo laced under the laws of another teiritory, ie effect would be to extend strife and till- J loil to Nebraska al-o. 11 * was unwilling > inflict upon Nebrn?dca the cur.-es of the iiifo and mob violence that existed ii< [ansa*. The people of Nebraska have obey d the tw, an I they have peace; in Kansas the iw had hocn trampled under foot, and icio wns strife.

Tito fault was in for igu interference. Stiifo and violence weie , 10 fruits of that intcrfoienco in Kansas; s nt tiioie had been non interference in i ubrasl.a. and peace and harmony had , een tho na'nral consequence. If his colleague thought the Ncbra-ha t ill was understood differently in tho North nd tho South, ho had belter read the pro- ' sellings of the Democratic National Con sntion. Ho would find that tlto principles f tho democratic party weie proclaimed i orth, South, East and West, everywhere liko?proclaimed by tho unanimous vote 1 f every State in tl.o Union. Ma->achu tts arid South Carolina understood the i cbru.ska bill alike; Illinois and Louisiana, ( liio and Virginia, understood it aiike. .11 true democratv bad no trouble in con ( , ruing it; and nobody bad any trouble i ceept those who were opposed to it, and ? ho were determined not to I o satisfied ' itli it. Tlio principles of that bill wero 1 nbodied in the compromise of 1850; and icy weio confirmed by the election of l're " dent I'icrce in 1852. Mr. Trumbull replied that the thing was u >verod up by the Cincinnati Convention, >ry much as it was in ihe Nebraska bill. , < be language was nmbigi.ous, and each c iction understood it to suit its own viowt.

The account states tliat thirty Southerner*, while proceeding Iront Westport to Bull Creek, under command of Pate, encountered about the same number of Fiee State men. Pate had ? number of Free State prisoners, whom lie arranged in front, as a shield. Then his company fell back under cover of the un armed prisoners, nnd hid behind logs niul trees.

They waited until we were almoal peratnidad to belior* that they would fight. Every means, honorable ami dishonorable, was resorted to by litem to maho the impression that they were stronger than they really were. A letter waa placed so c* to be hinod by us, suiting that the iorces ia Lawrence amounted to 2,700 men, and that they were strong enongh m to rrrttl fur lour utoullts. This letter was directed ' to Robinson. . The lorcea received orders ou tbe evening of Tuesday, the 21st instant, to be in readiness to march ut daylight and occupy the height* near Lawrence, which arc a branch of what ia called the "Back-bone." The troops were divided into two divisions; those encamped above ' nwrence, in and around Leooenpton, ? ere the upper division, and those encamned in and around hranklin the lower. Col. Bulord temporarily commanded the latter. Col. T. Titus, lute of Florida and now of Lccomptou, had charge ot the cavalry, amounting to at least two hundred men, mount* d ou lino horses, while the U. S_ Mmblial controlled the whole. Dr. J. 11. Stringfellow acted aa a colonel ui a regiment. Among the cavalry I noticed Gen. G. W. Clark's company, the I>oniphau Tigerr, and the Kiekapoo Hanger*. It wus rcgrittod on all aide* that Capt. Martin, of the latter company, waa absent on account ol ti e aickiu-aa of hi* w de. The company from Fort Leavenworth made a good allow in tlio linra. I regret tb >t the namva of all the companies nnd those of their captaina are not in my possession. When the lower division arrived on the height* they found them occupied by the cavalry, which had taken pt?sc*?ioti of them at 3 o'cli?k in th* morning. They were relieved by the infantry and marched to brcakfnat. When they returned, which was about 12 o'clock, the United States Marshal detailed a posse, who wire sent with hie f deputy into I^awrencc b? make sotne arrests Had tlu-y been restsnd as formerly the aimy prcuenl would have been in led upon for assistance; but they did not resist, aa on a previous occasion. As soi>n as the diputy and poaae returned with the prisoners, (some lour or five,) the troopu wire dismissed by Col. A die. acting for Major Donah* m, | and wi re immediately summo. ed by him for Sheriff .Jones to assist in carrying out an order of the United States Court. The Emigrant Aid Hotel and the two printing offices in L wrcrce (the Herald of Freedom and Free State) ha I been indicted for being nuisauecs and the Sheriff ordered to remove them. It waa near four in the afternoon when .Tones, though quite weak and much bent from the fntal effects ol tiis wound, entered the town with twenty five soldier* as an escort. Going up to the Aid Hotel, Gi ii. Pomeroy was called for, and. appearing, Jones told him that he came to demand the arm* in tow n, nnd to destroy the hotel an I printing offices, saying that he had five minutes to answer il lie would give up the arms and submit to the destruction mentioned; which was scying "yu h ve five m'riutos to give upor fight." Lie yielded without much hesitation, and what, hr saxi, w? real! the arms they had of which he knew any thing. They were a twelve pounder liowitxei and tiuee swivels.
