which ahall have paased the House of Repre sentatives and the Senate shall, before it be comes a law," be approved and signed by the President; and, if not approved, "he shall return it with his abjections to the house in which it originated." In order to perform this high and responsible duty, sufficient time mu9t be allowed the President to read and examine every bill presented to him for ap proval. Unless this be afforded, the consti tution becomes a dead letter in this particu lar ; and even worse, it becomes a means of deception. Our constituents, seeing the Pres ident's approval and signature attached to each act of Congress, are induced to believe that he has actually performed this duty, when, in truth, nothing is, in many cases, more unfouuded. From the practice of Congres, such an ex amination of each bill as the constitution re quires, has been rendered impossible. The most important business of each session is generally crowded into its last hours, and the alternative presented to the President is eith er to violate the constitutional duty which he owes to the people, and approve bills which, for want of time, it is impossible he should have examined, or, by his refusal to do this, Bubject the country and individuals to great loss and inconvenience. Besides, a practice has grown up of late years to legislate in appropriation bills, at the last hours of the session, on new and iin portant subjects. This practice constrains the President either to suffer measures to be come laws which he does not approve, or to incur the risk of stopping the wheels of the government by vetoing an appropriation bill which I have not examined, and it will be a case of extreme and most urgent necessity which shall ever induce me to depart from this rule. I therefore respectfully, but ear nestly, recommend that the two houses would allow the President at least two days previous to the adjournment of each session within which no new bill shall be presented to him for approval. Under the existing joint rule one day is allowed; but this rule has been hitherto so constantly suspended in practice, that important bills continue to be presented to him up till the very last moments of the session. In a large majority of cases no great public inconvenience can arise from the want of time to examine their provisions, because the constitution has declared that if a bill be presented to the President within the last ten days of the session he is not required to re turn it either with an approval or with a veto, "in which case it shall not be a law," It may then lie over, and be taken up and passed at the next session. Great inconvenience would only be experienced in regard to ap propriation Lifls ; but fortunately, under the late excellent law -allowing a salary, instead of a per diem, to members of Congress, the expense and inconvenience of a called session will be greatly reduced. I cannot conclude without commending to your favorable consideration the interests of the people of this District. Without a rep resentative on the floor of Congress, they have for this very reason peculiar claims upon our just feg&rd. To this I know, from my long acquaintance with them, they are emi neutly entitled. JAMES BUCHANAN. WASHINGTON, Dec. 8, 1857. THE GAZETTE. LEWISTOWN, PA. "Thursday, December 17, 1857.

Most of our space today is devoted to the President's Message, a document always looked for with interest by all classes. Por tions of it express statesmanlike views, but on Kansas affairs it is not only lame, but pandering so much to border ruffianism that Douglas, Walker, Forney, and many others of equal standing cannot swallow its non-intervention doctrine, which would suf fer a set of trading politicians to set aside the will and wishes of a large majority of the people of that territory. Among the items in the Kansas Constitution which Mr. Buchanan skips over so lightly, is the clause relating to future constitutional con ventions, which declares that "no alteration Rhall be made to affect the rights of proji erty in the ownership of slaves" and their offspring, so that no matter how the peo ple would vote on that question, slavery would exist just as long as slaveholders chose to keep it there. It keeps all the present territorial laws in force, and also keeps alive all criminal prosecutions and penal actions. Under this latter clause, those " treason cases" which were finally disposed of, might he revived and the of fenders punished, which fact, by a clause in the constitution, would make such per sons ineligible to any office in the State. There is no provision by which any altera tion of the constitution can he made until the year 1864. It i 3 also considered very unjust in the matter of the apportionment of represen tation in the first Legislature to be elected under it. For instance, Doniphan county, with a population, according to the territo rial census, of 4120, is allowed ibur repre sentatives ; while Johnson, memorable for its frauds, and having according to the same census but eight hundred and ninety in habitants, is also allowed four. The large counties of Atchison and Doniphan arc al lowed only one Senator each, hut tiro are given to this same Johnson. Such out rageous inequalities are found throughout the apportionment, and for all this the peo ple are called upon to vote in voting on the question of slavery, by the border ruffians dictating that the electors shall only vote tickets headed For the Constitution with Slavery," or " For the Constitution without Slavery,"— no tickets ayaintt the constitu tion being permitted to be taken LATEST NEWS. The special session of the Kansas Leg islature was organized on the Bth. Secre tary Stanton, as Acting Governor, says in his message: "In consequence of recent events I find myself compelled by a sense of duty to call you together, that you may adopt, by prompt legislation, measures to ; avert calamities which now threaten the i public peace." He recommends the pas sage of an act directing that the election be held under different officers on the same day and at the same places provided for by | the proclamation of the President of the i Constitutional Convention, authorizing the j people to vote for the Constitution in cither forms presented by the Convention, and also against the Constitution in both forms. He also recommends the passage of a law makiug fraudulent returns of the votes a felony, with suitable punishment. There is intense excitement in the Territory, and it is probable that the parties opposed to the Lecompton Convention will not permit the election to be held. Gen. Lane, with 800 men, was encamped near Lecompton, and was making threats to drive the Cal houn members of the Convention out of the Territory, but no outbreak had occurred yet. On Saturday last, the New York city Hanks resumed specie payments on all their liabilities, and a general understanding seems to exist, that not only the Hanks in the interior of the State of New York, but of all the New England States, will imme diately follow suit. Col. Francis M. Wynkoop, late United States Marshal for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, was accidentally killed while gunning near Tamaqua, Schuylkill county, on the 14th inst. He was hunting phea sants in company with his hired man, when the gun in the hands of the latter was ac cidentally discharged. The load took ef titKJt in Col. W's leg, and lie died in half an hour from the effects of the wound. The Kansas City Journal of Commerce of the sth inst., says: "Joseph Mageans, a trader on the Green river, arrived on Tuesday, being the latest arrival from I'tali. Mr. Mageans confirms previous advices.— He reports that recently all the emigrant trains were suffering from Mormon depre dations ; their wagons being burned and cattle stolen. A large quantity of grain and forage stored at Fort Bridges, had been burned by the Mormons, to prevent its pur chase by the Government. The Mormons had also burned all the grass on the route beyond Fort Hridges. The snow was three feet deep in the mountains. The country was covered with snow as far east as the Blue river. Buffaloes were very abundant. The steamship Europa, after a prolonged voyage of sixteen days, arrived at New York, bringing Liverpool dates to the 28th ult. * The demand tor money was diminish ing, and the issues of the Bank of Eng land were almost within limits again. Gold is flowing in steadily. The Bank of France had reduced its rate of discount, one per cent. Further and lavorabla news from India had l>een received. Fifteen troop ships with six thousand men had reached the Indian ports. The mutineers had been signally defeated at Agra, with the loss of forty-three of their guns, and one thousand men killed. A great amount of treasure was recovered. Gen. Havclock was safe at Luck now, but the enemy was in great force in the vicinity. It is stated that the Min istry will propose to Parliament the total abolition of the East India Company's charter, and that the Indian Empire will then be brought under the Britisli crown. Lord ( larendon announced to a deputation on the subject of slavery that the French scheme of negro emigration from Africa will probably be abandoned. Despatches from Washington are to the effect that the Secretary of the Treasury has prepared his plan for $20,000,000 i reasury Notes, and that the interest which they will be made to hear will not exceed three per cent, per annum. Query ? IN his the difference betweeu such an issue and a U. S. Bank ? Gen. Walker, the filiibuster, who it will be recollected took his departure from Mo bile bay on the 13th ult., in the steamer Fashion, landed at Punta Arenas, in Nica ragua, on the 25th November, with 150 men. A number of others it is said are to follow. Where are Buchanan's officers ? Igh-Geo. Blymyer has received about a cord of new goods. #®-John McKeon, District Attorney of New York, it is reported lias been removed for voting against Wood for Mayor.

Il&jrln 1847 Wisconsin applied for admis sion as a State under a Constitution that had not been submitted to the people, and although there was nothing very objectionable in it Congress sent it back for ratification. DOUGL,AS AND BIGLER. The following debate occurred in the 'United States Senate last week, in which our Senator was rather floored in measur ing strength with Douglas, who for once is acting a right and manly course : Mr. Douglas said, he was yesterday under the impression that the President had appro red the action of the Lecompton Convention and under that impression he felt it to he his duty to state, that while he concurred in the general views of the Message, yet so far as it did approve or endorse the action of that Convention, he entirely dissented from it, and would give his reasons for such dissent.— Upon a more careful and critical examination of the Message, he was rejoiced to find the President had not entirely approved the action !of the Convention. He was also rejoiced to j find that the President had not recommended that Congress should pass laws receiving , Kansas into tho Union as a State, under the | Constitution framed at Lecompton. It is true ; the tone of the Message indicates a willing ness on the part of the President to sign any bill Congress might pass receiving Kansas j as a State into the Union, under that Consti tution, but it was a very significant fact, that : the President had refrained from any endorse | ment of the Convention, and from any rec | ommendatiun as to the course Congress should pursue in regard to the admission of Kansas, i Indeed, the President had expressed deep mortification and disappointment that the whole Constitution was not submitted to the ) people of Kansas for their acceptance or rc ' jection. Ha proceeded to show that Congress could ! not properly receive Kansas into the Union j under the Lecompton Constitution. Not only i the slavery question, but all others must be | submitted to the people of Kansas as they are guaranteed to establish all, their "Domes tic Institutions" themselves. On this princi ple the whole Constitution must be submitted, to ascertain whether or in t it meets with their approbation. i Mr. Douglas contended that the people of Kansas expect to have an opportunity to vote against the Constitution if they chose to do so. He compared the "freedom" all..wed by i the Lecompton Convention, to the "freedom" at the election in Paris, when Louis Napoleon was elected President. The reason assigned why the people of Kansas were not allowed to Tote on the acceptance of the Constitution prepared was, that if they had the chance they would vote it down by an overwhelming majority. lie believed they would, and thought that was a clear violation of the or- act, thus to force the obnoxious Con stitution upon the majority. Mr. Uigler replied to Mr. Douglas. He said the I/ecompton Convention was called according to law, and had been recognized by the President and the Governor of the Terri tory. It was their right to submit a Consti tution to the people, or to send it to Congress without such submission. If it was right in itself, of republican form, and the people of the Territory had fairly decided on the slavery question, it would not he wise to keep them out of the Union, simply because the whole i Constitution had not been submitted to them. To do it would be inconsistent with the doc ; trine of "non-intervention." There was nothing in the past history of the country to ; justify such a course. It would he tho dutv of Congress to look at the question as it came before it, and to do the best it could by look ing at the happiness of the ' aire country.— He had long 1 e a n under the impression that it would be best both for the Union and Kan sas, if that State should he admitted at the first allowable opportunity, in order to local ize the strife. He would have preferred that the whale Constitution had lieen submitted to the people, but persons outside of the Terri tory have uo right to interfere with the Sla very question thero. He believed the people of Kansas would now have an opportunity to decide whether they will have a free or slave j form of government. He could not, however, j determine his entire course until tho people of Kansas shall make such a decision. He said the position assumed by Mr. Douglas to day, was in utter derogation of that which he occupied when he voted for Mr. Tombs' i bill, which proposed to make a State Consti tution and put it into operation, without sub mitting it to a vote of the people; and this i occurred only a short time ago. He could not understand how Mr. Douglas had so readily become sensitive regarding the rights of that I people, after having attempted such an in fringement upon them. Mr. Mason exposed and replied to what he ; characterized as a fallacy in the remarks of Mr. Douglas. Mr. Douglas explained, and said he had j been misapprehended: Mr. Bigler remarked thnt, in conversation recently with Col. Henderson, who was an active member of the Convention, he under stood him to say there were two constitutions i virtually. Mr. b ouglas—lf there are two, I should i like to see the other. Mr. Bigler—l say precisely similar. Mr. Douglas—lf precisely alike, what dif ference does it make if you may vote for cither? I Mr. Bigler—One for the Free and the other for the Slave State. This is the different e. Mr. Douglas—lt makes no difference how many copies they make. The simple question | is, they only alluw the people to vote on Sla- j very and nothing else. The Senator from Pennsylvania had assumed an air, which I i thought unnecessary and rather intimated to ! me that he spoke by authority. Mr. Bigler—l expressed my own views de liberately formed, and they are in concurrence i with those of the President. ; Mr. Douglas—l may have misunderstood him. I am certaiu he did not speak for the j President. I know that, for the President ' ! has just spoken for himself in the Message, | ! in which he condemna the Convention for not submitting the constitution to the people, and refuses to recommend me to receive it. The President is a bold, frank man, and if he in- j i tended to give us an Administration measure, jhe would say so. It is not respectful to as- ■ sume that we will do what he will not recom- ' mend us to do. Of course I know that the Senator from Pennsylvania did not speak by authority. Mr. Bigler—l think lam safe in saying, j and I think the Senator from Illinois will ; agree, that the President upholds in his mes- j sage the doctrine that the Convention had the right to form a constitution, and submit it to j the people for approval, or send it to Congress ; ! for approval. I' think it is deducible from the message that the President does not hold i that because the entire constitution was not submitted to the people, Kansas should be kept out of the Union. Mr. Douglas—l infer from the message that the President does hold that the Convention had the right to form a constitution and send it here, but that was only the right to petition for redress of grievances under the Federal Constitution and not because the Legislature had the power to constitute that a legal Con vention. Mr. Bigler—Where did you get that? Mr. Douglas—A gentleman (meaning Mr. Trumbull) yesterday read from a speech made by Mr. Buchanan twenty years ago, to show that a Legislature had no right to create a Convention to supersede the Territorial Gov ernment, and to attempt it would be gross usurpation. The Democratic party has held that doctrine ever since, and asserted it a year ago by endorsing his (Mr. Douglas's) report from the Committee on Territories. Three hundred thousand copies were circulated as a party document, and he himself paid for a hundred theusand of them. [Laughter.] Mr. Bigler entered his protest and claimed the statute of limitation, lie could not con sent that Mr. Douglas should hold the Presi dent responsible for principles laid down twenty years ago under entirely different cir cumstances. It is not half so long since Mr. Douglas declared the Missouri line the best compromise, and in 1848 he proposed to ex tend it to the Pacific Ocean, yet he repealed the whole of it. Mr. Douglas denied the right of Mr. Bigler to offer a statute of limitations. None but the authorized Attorney of the party can thus interfere. As the Senator has denied his authority to speak for the President he can not file that plea. Mr. Douglas approved of the statute of limitations. lie needed one very much himself. He had never boasted that he had never changed his opinions. He felt every year a little wiser than the year before. Has the President ever withdrawn that opinion ? He denied tho right to plead a statute of limitations against the Cincinnati Convention until the Charleston Cmvention met. He stood now where he stood last year because bo believed he was right. It was true he voted for the Toombs bill, and was ready to vote for it again. By doing so there would be no quarrel. It would not do to taunt him with once voting for a measure he would not vote for now. Mr. Bigler said he had not taunted the Senator, who had complained that a great wrong was done by not submitting the entire constitution to the people, when he had voted to put a State Constitution into operation without submitting any part to the people. Mr. Douglas replied that his explanation was in the language of the President, who in his instructions to Governor Walker took it for granted that the constitution was to be submitted to the people. Mr. Toombs' bill being silent on that subject, he took it for granted that the constitution would be sub mitted to the people. If tho President was right in taking that ground, why was not he (Douglas) right? Mr. Bigler said he did not intend to hold the Senator from Illinois to anything which did not appear on the journals. At a private meeting, before Mr. Toombs' bill was intro duced. it was held that in view of all the dif tieulties surrounding the question, it would be better that no provision to submit the con stitution to thi people should be inserted in the bill. And it was his understanding that the Convention which the bill proposed would make a constitution, and send it to Congress, without submitting it to th? people. Mr. Douglas, in reply, said he would not, like the Senator from Pennsylvania, insinuate what he would not openly declare. If he was present at the meeting referred to, and sanc tioned such a doctrine, let hiui say so. Mr. Bigler said if he was constantly at fault, it was panful indeed. Perhaps lie had wrongfully 6p >ken on the subject. He had told the Senator he did r.ot intend to reflect upon him. Mr. Douglas remarked that he would release Mr. Bigler friu sccresy, and asked him whether he knew that he (Douglas) had cith er publicly or priiatcly agreed that the con stitution should be adopted without consulting the people. Mr. Bigler stated what his distinct recollec tion was. He remembered very distinctly that the subject was discussed in the house of the Senator from Illinois. He was not sure that Mr. Douglas participated in the debate, in which it was argued that under all the cir cumstances, there was not to be a proviso in Mr. Toombs' hill requiring the constitution to be submitted. Mr. Douglas remarked, that the point he made was, that when the hill was silent on that subject it was understood, as a matter of course, that the Constitution was to be sub mitted. That he was a party to force on the people a Constitution, was nut true. Mr. Bigler explained that he had called Mr. Douglas's attention to his course on Mr. Toombs's bill, because it was in derogation of his doctrine laid down to day. When the Senator from Illinois introduced his prepara tory bill for Minnesota, he provided that a Constitution should he submitted. If the in ference w as that a Constitution would be sub mitted when such a bill is silent, why was the clause inserted in the Minnesota bill ? lie did not impugn the .Senator's patriotism or honorable motives, or courage. He had not a more constant admirer than himself, and one who oftener defended him. Mr. Hale wanted to know some of tho very peculiar circumstances which rendered the fair exercise of the elective franchise extreme ly difficult. [Laughter.] Mr. Bigler said that no one had said more on this subject than Mr. Hale, and of the vi olence used in keeping the Free State people from the polls. He (Mr. Bigler) was inter-' ested in getting Kansas into the Union. Mr. Douglas said that in order to prevent wrong impressions, ho would ask Mr. Bigler whether he meant to be understood as saying that he (Douglas), in his own house, or else where, had expressed himself in favor of a Constitution, without being submitted to the people ? Mr. Bigler—l made no such allegation. Mr. Douglas—You left it to be inferred. I will not allow it to be inferred that I so de clared in my own uouse. If 1 did not, acquit me of it. Mr. Bigler—l repeat that I have no recol lection of the Senator participating in tho debate alluded to. Mr. Douglas—lf I had nothing to do with it, I don't know what my house had to do with it. (Laughter.) What I said was truth, and that only ; what I said is on record. Ilolloway's Ointment and Pills. —The Au racanian Indians of Chili, who permit no other European production to enter their ter ritory, admit these medicines, and use them successfully for external diseases and all in ternal maladies. The most offensive ulcers, disfiguring blotches and the worst cases of hereditary scrofula, arc permanently cured by Holloway's Ointment; and indigestion, liver complaints and irregularities of the bowels yield invariably to his famous Pills. Be careful uot to bo imposed upon by a spu rious article palmed upon you for genuine. The latter are known by a water-mark in every leaf of the book of directions accom panying each pot and box.
