ka and Kansas act, when struggling on a re cent occasion to sustain its wise provisions before the great tribunal of the American people, never differed about its true meaning on this subject. Everywhere throughout the Union they publicly pledged their faith and honor that they would cheerfully submit the Suestioa of slavery to the bona tide people of Kansas, without any restriction or qualifica tion whatever. All were cordially united up on the great doctrine of popular sovereignty, which is the vital principle of our free insti tutions." Mark this: " Had it been insinuated, frsm any quarter, that it would have been a sufficient compli ance with the requisitions of the organic law for the members of a Convention, thereafter to be elected, to withhold the question of Sla very from the people, and to substitute their own will for that of a legally ascertained ma jority of their constituents, this would have been instan :j rejected." Yes, Sir, and I will add further, had it been then intimated from any quarter, and believ ed by the American people, that we would have submitted the Slavery clause in such a manner as to compel a man to vote for that which his conscience did not approve, in or der to vote on the Slavery clause, not only would the idea have beeu rejected, but the Democratic candidate for the Presidency would have been rejected; and every man whe backed him would have been rejected too. j The, President tells us in his message that . "the whol* party pledged our faith and our honor that the Slavery question should be submitted to the people, without any restnc- j tion or qualification whatever. Does this schedule submit it without qualification ? It qualifies it by saying, " You may vete on Sla- j very if you will" vote for the Constitution ; i but shall not do so without doing that."— That is a very important qualification—a qualification that controls a man's vote on bis action and his conscience, if he is an honest man—a qualification confessedly in violation of our platform. We are told by the Presi dent that our faith and our honor are pledged that the Slavery clause should be submitted without qualification of any kind whatever; and now am I to be called upon to forfeit my faith and my honor in order to enable a small j minority of the people of Kansas to defraud ; the majority of that people out of their elec- j tive franchise ? Sir, my honor is pledged ; and before it shall be tarnished, I will take whatever consequences personal to myself may come; bat never ask me to do an act which the President, in his Message, has said is a forfeiture of faith, a violation of honor, j and that merely fer the expediency of saving the party. I have as much heart in the great j cause that binds us together as a party as any man living. I will sacrifice anything short of principle and honor for tho peace of the party; but if the party will not stand by its princi ples, its faith, its pledges, I will stand there, and abide whatever consequences may result from the position. Let aic ask you, why force this Constitu f tion down the throats of the people of Kansas, in opposition to their wishes and in violation of our pledges. What great olyect is to be attained ? Cui bono! What are you to gain by it? Will you sustain the party by viola ting its principles ? Do yon propose to keep the party united by forcing a division ? Stand by the doctrine that leaves the people perfectly free to form and regulate their in stitutions for themselves in their own way, and your party will be united and irresistible in power. Abandon that great principle, and the party is not worth saving, and cannot be saved, after it shall be violated. I trust we ( are not to be hushed upon this question.— i Why shall it be done ? Who is to be benefit ted '/ Is the South to be the gainer ? Is the : North to be the gainer? Neither the North nor the South has a right to gain a sectional advantage by trickery or fraud. But lam beseeched to wait until I hear from the elec tion on the twenty-first of December. lam told that perhaps that will put it all right, ami will save the whole difficulty. How can it ? Perhaps there may be a large vote.— : There may be a large vote returned. [Laugh ter.] But I deny that it is possible to have a fair vote on the Slavery clause ; and I say ' that it is not possible to have any vote on the Constitution. Why wait for the mockery of . an election, when it is provided unalterablv that the people cannot vote—when the major- i ity are disfranchised? But lam told on all j Bides, "Oh, just wait; the Pro Slavery clause will be voted down." That does not obviate any of my objections; it does not diminish any of them. You have no more right to ; force a Free-State Constitution on Kansas ' than a Slave-State Constitution. If Kansas wants a Slave State Constitution, she has a right to it; if she wants a Free-State Consti- j tution, she has a right to it. It is none of my business which way the Slavery clause is decided. I care not whether it is voted down or voted up. Do you suppose, after the pledg- j es of my honor, that I would go for that prin- : ciple, and leave the people to vote as they choose, that I would now degrade myself by ' voting one way if the Slavery clause be voted down, and another way if it bo voted up. I care not how that vete may stand. I think I ' have seen enough in thriast three days te make it certain that it v&'.l be returned out, no matter how the vote stand. I Lauch- ! ter.l ?

Those who are In the habit of using patent medicines will find the Oxygenated Bitters and Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry pleasant and efficient articles. The members of Lewislown Lodge, No. are requested to attend the meeting on the 36th. Travelers are requested to note the changes made in the arrival and departure of the trains. The Golden Prize newspaper advertis--d in another col umn. tojudge from the number before us, is a paper of the hrst class of its kind. NO PAPER NEXT WEEK. In accordance with our usual custom, no paper will be issued from this office next week. tatf Our Carrier desires us to state that he will be about on New Year's day with an Address, and in consideration of the " hard times" is wilHng to take quarters where he used to get halves —levies where he got quarters —fips where he got levies —and sooner than disoblige those " hard up," take half a dime or a three cent piece, though he thinks the fewer of the latter in circulation the better. Democracy and the Administration. Our neighbor of the Democrat, as in duty bound, chimes in with the prints that uphold Mr. Buchanan and his advisers in relation to Kansas affairs, and takes occasion to stigmatize the course of Mr. Douglas as '•factious," and adds that "He finds but few sympathizers in Washington except among the Black Republicans." That Mr. Douglas should find few sympathizers among the officeholders at Washington is not surprising, as Mr. Buchanan as well as his cabinet officers have given uninistake ■ able evidence that when a man chooses to think different fVom themselves, his place 1 is considered vacant; but the editor is vast ly mistaken in supposing that the democ racy here have given up all right of think ing for themselves. We have vet to hear ! of the first Democrat in this county who { has read Mr. Douglas's speech that docs not accord to him the right position. In | truth we do not see how it could well he ' otherwise with any reflecting man, who can carry his memory hack to hist fall, when it I was proclaimed at every meeting that the people of each territory were to be left at ; full liberty to determine for themselves what their domestic institutions should be. ; llow far this was done in Kansas Mr. ; Douglas's speech in to-day's paper exposes in a masterly manner, and we hope there ! fore the democrats of this county who can i not get hold of it in the officeholders' I prints, will borrow the Gazette and read it. j The question is of more than ordinary im j portance, and is hut another proof of the : ill-advised measures which resulted in set ; ting aside the compromises formed by the ! Sage of Ashland, and launching great i questions of right and liberty among poli j ticians who possess neither statesmanship nor stability; but if there is one who ought to know the true intent and meaning of the Kansas-Nebraska act, it is undoubtedly Mr. Douglas, who framed and carried it through Congress. That he does understand it his : speech abundantly proves, and if the Re- 1 publicans give him credit for his opinions, they do so because he has clearly demon strated that one of their predictions respect- i ing Mr. Buchanan's subserviency to"black" I democracy was only too true. tcff~The steamer Adriatic arrived at New York on Monday morning, bringing Liver pool dates to the 9th inst. The aspect of financial affairs had not essentially changed. The Bank of France has reduced its rates of discount one per cent. Cotton was un changed ; breadstuff's generally continued to decline. The general news is unimpor tant. From Kansas. —A letter received at St. Jiouis, dated Lecompton, 16th inst., states that Gen. Lane was shot at Lecompton, by a Government official, whose name is not given, on the evening of the 15th. The affair grew out of apolitical discussion, and much excitement has been occasioned by it. Mr. Stanton is still the acting Governor, j apparently with the approbation of Gen. Denver, who had arrived there. It was thought that the legitimate vote on the day I of election, would be very small, but many I Missourians were going into the Territory. | Gov. Walker'* better of Resignation. The letter of Hon. Robert J. Walker resigning the Governorship of Kansas has been published. It is a document of some length, the principle features of which are embodied in the following notice of it in the Baltimore American: The statement of the conditions upon which Gov. Walker accepted the Gover norship conclusively justify him in the course he has taken, whilst they iuculpate the President as having made the appoint ment under an implicit promise of support ing the Governor in a particular policy, and then failing to execute his part of the agreement. He accepted the office 011 the express condition that he should advocate the submission of the Constitution to the people as a necessary qualification for its acceptance by Congress ; the President ap pointed him 011 this condition, thereby adopting and sanctioning it. Upon this agreement Gov. Walker goes to Kansas and urges the submission of the Constitution to the people as a measure of justice and as a necessity for the pacification of the Territory—the Convention disappoints bis expectations and when he resorts to the alternative which he proposed in the event of the non-submission of the Constitution to the people, viz: its rejection by Con gress, he finds himself estopped by the President and the whole power of the Ad ministration used to defeat the policy upon which he accepted the Governorship and which the President had endorsed by his appointment. It is evident that as an hon orable man Gov. Walker could have pur sued no other course than that lie has fol lowed. Is it equally evident that the Pres ident has acted fairly, justly and manfully? We think not. Gov. Walker, in view of the promise signified in his appointment, had a right to expect that he would not be thus deserted in the struggle and made another exemplar of the fact that "Kansas is the grave-yard of Governors." ' The letter ol Gov. Walker goes directly to the pith of this Kansas question when it shows that whilst slavery is an obsolete issue in the territory, there are other mat ters of difference involved in the proposed Constitution upon which the people have a right to express their will. The banking question, issues as to citizenship qualifica tions and the elective franchise, and other matters <>f equal import are shown to he involved, whilst the Constitution itself is exposed as a partisan document which adopts and legalizes some of the enormous frauds perpetrated at the last delegate elec tion. Were there no great and inviolable principle involved, such as must be recog nized in the ri'jrht of the people to decide directly upon their organic law, it is dem onstrated that this Constitution is so vari- | ant in many respects front the desires of the people that nothing hut the sheerest j tyranny of party ascendancy could wish to force it upon their unwilling acceptance. Homicide by a Priest. STAIXTUX, Ya., Dec. 14 —The preliminary examination of Re*. Dr. Daniel Downey, charged with killing Wm. Mulling, was to have taken place this morning; but the aecu M.*d waived an investigation before a justice, and was accordingly remanded for tion before the Hustings Court, on the January. lie confesses that he shot Mullins, but says the deed was committed in self-de fence. He has a bruise on his forehead, showing that he received a blow. When Dr. Downey was found, after the shooting, he was lying in his house, stupefied from the effects of laudanum and spirits he had taken, and his mind is now in such an excited stat# that it is considered unsafe to allow any one to converse with him.

REMEMBER THE POOR.—At this season of the year when those who have the abil ity are laying up a store for winter, the poor ought not to be forgotten. Presents are always acceptable and remembered with grateful feelings, and at no time are they likely to be more appreciated than now when hard times" have laid a heavy hand 011 those dependent on daily labor for sus tenance and support. We would therefore urge upon our readers to give liberally of whatever they have to spare, not in that ostentatious way which proclaims the deed at every street corner, but in the spirit of true kindness and benevolence. Let it be called a Christmas Gift, a New Year's Gift, or a Gift of any other kind, and whether it consists of clothing, edibles, or articles of general use or ornament, it will for a time at least impart a my of sunshine to the giver and receiver. ROBBERIES.—The petty robberies were followed on Monday morning by one of a j more startling character, the jewelry store ! of George W. Gibson in Market street hav ing been entered by taking out the transom i above the door, and as near as can be as certained about S7OO worth of irold and sil- C j ver watches Ac. taken therefrom. One of the watches was subsequently found in Brown street, between Market aud Water, but thus far 110 clue has been obtained as i to the perpetrators of this bold robbery. 1 Home suspicion was aroused against a young man who left in the morning train, aud by I the aid of the telegraph he was arrested at j Altoonu and detained a day, but beyond a few circumstances, which might however be satisfactorily accounted for, nothing was elicited to warrant a binding over. On Friday night the grocery of Jno. L. Porter was entered and a few candies and ; other articles taken. A negro named Ike Williams wasarrcst ; ed and committed to jail on Saturday for j stealing a pair of boots and a hat at -lames 1 T • I uruer s. } A few weeks ago the poultry yard of !

COST OF GAS. —E. M. Richards, Esq., J of Lebanon, we learn from the Advertiser, has made some experiments relative to the cost of gas and other lighting materials, with the following results.

Confession of Murder.— The Baltimore (Md.) Sun of Friday says:—A few days ago a man, who gave his name as Adolphus Mar kel, surrendered himself to officer Hales, and said he had boen guilty of a murder at Ger mantown, Pa. His story was so plausible that Marshal Herring deemed it his duty to detain him until he could communicate with tbo Marshal of Philadelphia, and a proper inquiry instituted. He gave the name of the party alleged to have been murdered as Jehu Patterson. The matter has been examined into, and a communication from the head of the police of Philadelphia states thatnosuoh transaction took place, nor was the party who made the confession suspected of any crime. The only reason that can be assigned for his strange conduct is that he was laboring under temporary insanity. BQLA few bottles of Bull's Saxsaparilla —the best article of the kind made—are for sale at Kitz's at 75 cents per bottle to close the lot. Holloway's Pills. —Health depends upon the state of the blood when it passes into the eeins to circulate through every fibre of the frame. If the digestion be impaired and the liver torpid the vital fluid will be partially deprived of its nutritious principle, aod charged with morbid matter which may pro duce any variety of disease. The sure rem edy in such cases is Holloway's Pills. They at once restore the vigor and activity of the stomach and liver, purge all acrid matter lrom the secretions and the blood, relieve debility, languor and pain, remove all the premonitory symptoms of acute disease, and restore the whole system to a perfectly healthy aod sound condition. Oxygenated Bitters. —The annexed state ment of Prof. A. A. llayes, M. D., State As sayer, is ample testimony of the scientific manner in which this medicine is compound ad, and recommends it to professional men. " An opinion having been asked for of me, in consequence of the formula for preparing Oxygenated Bitters being known te me, I ex press the following in form : The composition of these Bitters includes those medical substances which experienced physicians have long resorted to for special action on the system, when deranged by fe vers, dyspepsia, agues, and general debility, resulting from exposure or climate influence. These are rendered permanent, and remain active in this preparation, as a consequence of the scientific manner in which they are combined. It was a well founded inference that the preparation, used in larger er smaller doses, would prove a valuable (General Medi cine, which experience has demonstrated. In this medicine no metallic salts can be found by the most delicate chemical trials. Respectfully, A. A. IIAY'ES, M. D. Assayer to the State of Mas*. No. 1 Pine st., Boston, IGth Dec., 1852. Seth W.
