Don't let it cause another panic, If vou':Atould have a call Satanic, - On New l'ear's Pay in the morning ;_ But say your pmyers, and all keep steady, And be sure and hare your Quarters ready arGovernor Walker's letter resigning the goy _ errairship of Kansas, and acting Governor Stanton's aessage convening an extra session of the K a n sas Lecislature, Must convince theAtardost to be con vinced that the charges of fraud and usurpation made against the framers of the LecOmpton Constitution, arc one. We cannot wonder that the high-handed villainies so plainly exposed by Gov. Walker's letter, have caused a large portion of the Democratic par tv at length to refuse their support to the lawless acts o f t h e f iluvery-eztensionists. The question -has be came simply whether the doctrine that the majority clan rule—once considered Democratic doctrine— : shill prevail in Kansas; or whether the, people of that - Territory :shall be crushed under - the tyranny-of Bor der Ruffian usurpers and the general government. The position which the supporters of the Lecomp tor: Constitution are required to take, is so repug nant to all the principles of Democracy, to the -doc trines even of the Kansas -Nebraska-bill, to the pledg es and public committals of 31r. Buchanan and his partisans at the North, that a large portion of the party refuse to sulunit to such degradation as the support of that instrument requires. We intended to comment on the errors and ineon sistenciei of that portion of the President's message which treats of Kansas affairs; but that now seems unnecessary; for the letter of Goy. Walker, a distin guished National Democrat ; fresh from the scenes he describes, and knowing personally that of which he speaks, fully and completely refutes the statements and arguments of the President. It also establishes, oa good Deuroeratie authority, the statements that have appeared in the Republican newspapers with regard to the frauds committed 'by the pro-slavery. party in Kansas—statements which- the. doughface organs at the North have uniformly denounced as " Muck Re i üblican lies." We hope the Governor's letter sill be, read by all men of all parties ; and after reading it, no honest man sill attempt to defend • ei ther the Bordeeauffian';`Ccnistitution or the Adminis tration that supports it. : Especially those who in the campaign of)Stib hurfalied for "Buck, Breck, and Free KJ:was," believing Buchanan was as much in favor of freedom fol. Kansas as Freznonf, must now see hew greatly they were deceived, and must repu diatet. an adminis non whiose principles are the re verse of their trivia '. . . arl MO] ern•Democaace SCCIUS to be shaturning in its pretended hostility to paper currency, as well as in other things. The Presideut--that. respectable old Federtlist—reeommends the issue 0ft20,000.000 of:paper money, in the form of Treasury notes ; and administration members in both 11 - buses of Congress are urging the passage of a law anthotizing such a rniuurc. In time of war it may sometimes be necessary for a governinent to resort to the issue of paper money, or government promises to pay, as was done by . the Continental Congress during the Revolution, though the currency so furnished proved little better than none ; but situated as we now arc, the federal gov ernment instead of resorting to such an expedient, should either diminish its expenses to correspond with its present income, or else increase its revenue by a hig,her , tariffor by direct taxation. All these ex= penes must ultimately be paid hy the people; and .so to mismanage the public finances as to compel the people to pay interest for money borrowed to carry on the government, in - time of peace, is shameful or The Lecompton Constitution, which President Buchanan and the more reckless portion of the Sham Dtniserry wish to impose upon the people of Kan sas, eontaius the following provisions, as set forth in a . synop,is of the . Constitution published in the Wish ingtun ,Sicreca, an administration piper which Mu tabs the doings of the Lecompton Convention: "The Cr.% enior hi to hold his office for two years, end must 1e at lean tWrty years of age, and have Lon a citizen for twenti year; and have resided in this State at least five , x4rs preceding the day of his elvetion, or from the f4te of forming this Constitu tion. "A Lieutenant Goveritor shall be elected at the PalllC time with the Gov&nor, and his qualifeatfor and the 7/latinef of his eleetion shall be the same in all respects," Do the Irish Democracy 'approve of a Constitution like that ? lithe Free State men of Kansas. bad ad opted a Constitution with such a feature in it, a hoWl of " Know NothingLtir" would have grnie'npfromthe Whole Stunnocratic press, and Irishmen would hare lees asked to observe that all except pro-Slavery men were fees,of the foreign born, and unwilling to giant them erival *rights of citizenship. But here Irishmen are proscribed--made ineligible to office for twenty years after they become citizens, and of course it is all right 'and Deniocrittic. Hurrah for Jenuny Buchanan and Slavery, and down with the 'ricked black Republicans.? C:E" Mr. Cox, a Democratic member of the house of Representatives, has made a strong.appech in that ts4y against the Lecompton ConstitUtion ; and Mr. MarAiall, a Democratic, member from Illinois, has_ written a letter lb' the Washington Unzo'r, support ing Douglas, and declaring that the preserration of the Democratic party depends upon its adherence to the principle of popular sorereignty.

Spending an Evening "out" NOWTIXIIII-LN-PAUTICOLAR, Dec. 3, 1851, MR. l'stasran:—ln the latest lingo, I ani"lying around loose" just at present; and so ithappens that On this particular evening, after an afternoon tramp of ten miles through a snow storm?, my location is in the immediate neighborhood of this nnsnutTed and unenlightened half civilized tallow candle. Said tal low candle is situated on a little four-legged table, in one comer of a farmer's kitchen, dining room, and parlor. The farther side of the table is inhabited by a Fuperaminated tin pan, containing a surprising veg etable, which Jim, the farmer's son, tells me is a Je rusalem cherry tree. Between that and the candle, the only objects of interest are two balls of blue yarn transfixed with a darning needle, after theinan ner of hearts in a valeniine, and ono half.of a pair of snuffers that won't snuff the candle. The last men tioned ornament to the society of the table, still re tains its ancient place of honor by the side of the candlestick ;hut its glory has departed together with one of its lees.. It looks lonely and emblematic: of the condition of an old bachelor. Console yourself with the idea that if the other half was there, the snuffers would - have to snuff. 'ln the centre of the room stands the unremoved supper table, on the top of which two remarkable wrinkles in the cloth form an algebraic sign ofcquak it.y between the farmer and his wife. On this side of the table she washes the dishes, and at the opposite sits the farmer, reading the Bannir of Li6erty,which a neighbor has just brought from the postale° a couple of miles distant. Neighbors hero do neigh borly acts. By the.ezcited appearance of the old gentleman's nose, through which he spells all the hard words, he is in pursuit of knowledge under difficulties. Ever and anon, he stops to utter a threat against the un terrified little Simeon, who, regardless of prophesied punizinnent, is convening the cat up stairs, using her tail by way of a handle. . Among , the, items of intelligence, the spectacles have recently discovered something of unusual inter est, and, placing them at half-mast in the lower notch of his nose, the masculine member of the aforemen tioned equation addressed the with the exclamatory idea that "Folks said as how obi Barnum had got back all his money and was richer'n cver;:agiii." As it was evidently necessary to say somithing, I said, "So say the newspapers." " Well, now, what try° s'pose he's ben (loin all the while? Folks said be wan't wuth nothinl, a spell ago." "He went to England, I believe," replied i, put ting up my paper and turning around for a chat. Here the other member came in for hershare the conversation, with the interrogative remark thlt "She'd heetil somebody tellite sutLin"bout Eng land's Lein' a kind o' half-bnother uv his'n." At this juncture the spectacles were again elevated to the top notch and directed at the news-column of the Banner of Liberty. I being at a loss for a re ply to the last inquisition, looked as much as possible as if I didn't know; wherCupon Mrs. C— subsided into trashing her dish, and I returned to my scrib ble. The farmer and his wife arc good &lacerate of .course. If you are ever obliged to put up for the night at a strange house, look- at-the mantle-piece, and you may form your expectations. Its. arrangements are indicative of the family character. The educated and uneducated sit 'in very much the same kind of chairs, and stir the fire with similar. pokers. One pair of tongs is very much like any other Pair of tong:, and coal scuttles arc expressive of nothing in particular; but the ornaments of . the tnantle-piece are develop ments of the ramily taste. The very situation, of the 'snuffers is Significant. An Indian vegetable pill al ' manac banging on .a brass-nail, in coliittany with a diagonal pit:et:Aim!, i r. f..rt ; and you need not be surprised at the owner's referring to said almanac for the puirpose ofa_seertaining when Thanks giving day)is to happen. Those bright brass_ candle stick.--, in downwards at an angle of forty-five degrees, prognosticate cleari sheets and warm blank ets in my sleeping place to night. Because of those tobacco pipes, I will vennire to prophesy, not confi dently however, the forthcoming of a pitcher of cider by and by. 0,0 this end of the shelf is a tin sav ings bank, which, judging by the appearance of the chimney, has been broken open amid rubbed by the Young spendthrift, its owner. Considered in an etlu: catiutud point of view, that institution is a fidiure,but its intention foreshadows small cups of economical coffee. to-morrow morning, as well as the old lady's n,greeirde surprise- at ihe fact that I take mine with out sugar. That switch, cut from the lilac bush, by the aid of which little Simeon has just been persuaded to have his face washed and go to bed, is the expo , nent of the family discipline. In the middle of the chimney-breast hangs a picture of a very unremarka ble young lade, with her Sunday-go-to-meeting atti tude and extiression of countenance in a remarkable state of preservation, consideting the peculiarity of the circumstances. Fhe is at present receiving the passionate addresses of a young ge.ntlenum without any wrinkleS in his .pantaloous, and who wears a standing collir, old style, and his hair brushed up in front. On the shelf beneath, a sugar representation of a small dog, w hi; blue cars and a green tail, com pletes the art union. These observations ofthePres-' cnt case are sufficient. If there is a vase of flowers on the mantel, you will pass the evening pleasantly, and may sleep without having one eye open and one leg out of bed„ as the vigilant man is proverbially supposed to sleep. The person who loves flowers is almost always agreeable. Everythin g has a meaning, from a string of dried ap ples to an oil painting -;and perhaps one of these days j will be able to reduce the observation of mantle nieces to a: science. Perhaps Mr. Editor, you are skeptical, but let me tell you, it will be a long ways ahead of either phrenology or physiognomy. Its cbg nomen is as yet uninvented. Lin here comes that cider. Please excuse.tlie ter mination. WILL. I TOMESTEAD BILL-Mr. Grow, of Pennsyl vania, deerves thanks fur his_ pro,npt•iuuve rnent in favor of a Homestead Bill.
