t'lum lh> ,\\ O. IMltl. HON. 6TEFHEN A DOUOLAS ON THIS KANSAS AND UTAH QUESTIONS. PrpMwro upon our column* precluded (Vtmi them, for u r-?v day*, the Into Miewli of Senator Stephen A. Hoinrhi*, Illinois. The i|irrch wm ooimneil to three heads?1st, tlio Bresent condition of Kansas; ad, tlio Dred Seott rcisioii; 3d, lliu condition of things in Utah wti<l Clio appropriate remedies fur c*xic<ti11<r pvils. That portion of tlio speech relating to tlio I)red Scott decision we omit, inasmuch as it is throughout un indorsement mid defence of tliut decision u|?ou which argument lias already been curried to quite mi cnliuiislitig extent. It will he well tliut, though Mr. Douglas is not ns explicit on tlie Kansas question as he might be if lie were not in tliu line of Presidential suecession, or at least expectancy, yet ho succeeds in expressing the opinion that if the free Slate men of lvuusus, instead of participating in the formation of a constitution in the mode provided for iu the act of the only legitimate Legislature of the Territory, "blindly and obstinately refuse to exrecise the rights assured litem liv the laws -r j, i ui v/uiigrcra, upon uieir iicaus, and uicirs alone, > will rest the fearful responsibility of fastening a constitution upon the future State, repugnant to (lie wishes of its people nn?l he manages to refrain front saying, in the spirit of Gov. Walker's model demagogucry, that the constitution, when framed, should he submitted to the vote of | ull the actual settlers in the Territory at the time, and if not so submitted, should he rejected | by Congress?which is saying and not saying an j immense dcul for a public man on the other side j of Mason and Dixon's line, considering (lie present political complexion at the North, and at the Federal capital. It is to be hence inferred t'lat in the United States Senate, Mr. Douglas would he in favor of udnutting Kansas into the Union, even though she should present herself?in spite of the proconsular dictation of Walker?ns a pro slavery State with a pro-slavery constitution which was not submitted to the ratification of the people.? Meantime, be it noted, Governor Walker, hacked, ns he avows he is, by Mr. Ilitchanuu and the Cabinet, is pledged to do all he can, in such an event, to defeat the admission of Kansas by Congress. Thus we see a question growing out of the Kansas difficulties, and gradually taking shape and substance, which is destined to be an entering wedge of division in the next Congress, I niul which has already, it seems likely, caused the great body of the Southern Democracy to split oil" from the Administration. It remains to be seen whether Mr. Ihichunan shall bring buck to the fold the Democracy of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and the Stales' Kights Democrats all over the South, by repudi utinjr me Walker policy nn<l recalling thai nictllesome proconsular functionary. However that may he, Mr. Douglas* programme for lhlio aui'iit tlio Kansas question, appears to lie prvtly plainly marked out, and is every day looking fairer ami more practicable as Walker's chances for a shadow of support from the South for I'res'nlenoy grow "small by degrees and heaiuif.illy less." Mr. Douglass speaks more plainly of I'tah and the religious and social aboiuiuatioii of the "latter day saints" than of Kansas and the political u bom mat ions of Walker, Robinson, Lane & Co. Uut IJrighaut Young has no friends in Illinois, Hone at Washington, and few an}' where, outBide of the weak-minded ami deluded men and women from beyond the ocean, who stupidly believe that the miraculous revelation of a new religious dispensation is possible now as in days when .Sinai thundered and Calvary bled?and that through the redieulous and vulgar medium of one .los. Smith, Jr., Prophet, &e, we Americans want a victim to insulted law. propriety, decencj*, ?te. In all our large cities, practical polygamy is rank ; prostitution flonrbhes; con* jugal infidelity goes unrebuked and uiiwhipt of justice. A condign example is wanted to revenge past forbearance of these egregious evils by one fell stroke of rrovernmental retrihiiiinn. lSrigham Voting and It is outlaw, Guil-forsaken followers nro convenient; the pretext is quite sufficient. Let the strong arm of tlie Federal Government, then, shake loose its terrors atul pour tliein, wide-wasting and crushing, upou the said Brigham and his confederate reprobated. On the Utah question, it is a little difficult, to reconcile Mr. Douglas' assertion of the right in general of the people of a State or Territory to form their own domestic regulations to suit themselves, with the duty of the Federal Government to break U|mhi the Mormons, camp and baggage, rejtenl the Territorial law of Utah, and make it a tabular rasa to be governed by the general laws of Congress, civil and military. JIo can only do *o by assuming ono of two things, as true or susceptible of truth; 1st, that the Mormon system isu Theocracy, claiming both plcuary, spiritual and temporal authority, and therefore anti-republican and rebellious; or, 2d, that Hriglmin Young and his followers are to be justly regarded and treated as pirates and robbers?enemies not only of our Government, but of our citizens individually and of the human race Aro these propositions true, or enn they be established? If they be true, is it according to sound law and constitutionality to punish men for the theory of the organization to which they belong, and not cAuiusivciy lor overt entile, rebel lion or treason, of which "they nmy be guilty? These questions we leave where Mr. Douglas leaves them. Governor Ruhinson, the bogus Legislature and tho s,Fruo^lolll llhril kerB', of Kansas, are every hit us guilty of theoretical treason as Hrigliani Youug and the 'saints" of Utah. The fotiner defy the Federal Government in explicit terms; they deny the tight of tho President and Congress to recognize or enforce any law which they do not nnciion; and they openly repudiates every civil authority of the Territory hut those of their own creation. Why arc they not inndo to feci the vcnpeance of insulted Federal majesty t Will Mr. Douglass tell us in his next speech ? THE NEWSPAPER PRESS. A week or two since the Charleston Courier called upon tho "Rural Districts'* of the Stute for information as to the ape and history of the newspapears of the interior.

TROOPS FOR UTAH. The Government expedition to Utah is being | fitted out with great rapidity. It is expected that at this time there arc a thousand troops additional to the garrison at Fort Leavenworth, together with all necessary military stores. StLouis and vicinity, it is said, will profit by this expedition in trade lit least &l,000,0o0.

Large quantities of wheat is being shipped nl Ibis time from the up country to Charleston where a ready market is ahead) open for it at high prices. During Die past week t>evcral hundred bushels has been sent forward from this place, anil wagons arc daily bringing il in. The result of this movement will be, that very soon the market below will be glutted and prices go down, whilst the surplus of grain will ho run off from our District, thereby in times of need producing scarcity. The crops everywhere that we liavo heard from, are unusually lnrge, and the foreign demand having somewhat abated, llio present high prices cannot be maintained. destruction"of DOGS. Somewhat a novel sight was witnessed in our streets, on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings hist, ill tlio fimntinv* nC /!* *? J At\**a ami there. Strychnine had evidently been administered by someone to these, and tho result was, that twenty were killed froui partaking of it. Our village is pretty well stockcd in doga, it is true, and frequently they make night hideous with their yells, much to the annoyance of the inhabitants; yet we cannot approve of this wholesale slaughtering, fur in getting rid of those that aro worthless in this way, many valuable yard doga must also fall victims. Let the Council levy a tax Kutticiently heavy, and the number will very f>oou be uiaterialy diminished. SUBMARINE CABLE. The Navy Department at Washington, received ft letter on Thusday last, from Capt. Hudson, of thc*U. S. steam frigate, Niagara, dated June the 27tli, in which he states, "I have tlie honor to report that a ship-lond of the telegraph cable has just been got along side the ship, which we shall at once commence coiling into the firehold. We have the promise of a second vessel, now nearly full, on the 31st, and shall commence coiling from her into the wardroom tier aloft During tho time wc shall be coiling from these vessels, into their distinct or separate tiers, wc shall coil away into this ship about 100 milea in 24 hours. As I stated in my letter of the 22d, the vessel above referred to bring off about 750 miles of the cable." A NEW BOOK. Etiikl Sosikrh; or, the Fate of the Union. Bv A Southerner.

The letters thus written are as perfectly incomprehensible lo ns as they would lie if written in Chinese. Strange as it may appear, Mr. McLean translated theso letters correctly, as circumstances subsequently showed, without any previous knowledge of the characters used. The only key he had was furnished in the first letter, wherein tlio writer informed his victim that certain alterations had beon made in the Mormon alphabet, and explained what thoy were, so lhat she might understand them. Tlio alterations were only two, and from this slight elue to the meaning of these hieroglyphics, Mr. McLean succeeded, after giving up in despair several times in deciphering the whole, thus enabling him to thwart (he efforts of the impostor to rob him of his children.

Almost all the great and illustrious men who came into public life during the first twenty-five years of the present century have been snatched away within that time.
