Of' thO`popular branch of Congress. Nence,
in the personal conflict between Mr. Emma

pathy: We do indeed 41f.fer from Mr. Ms-
Tan in his.refusal to say that the eitiire Con.
Stihttion of Kansas should, first ot al), go to
the oh* people of Kansas before it goes
Into flongreatir • - latt even if we did not
desire his presence in tbe Senate, (which,
in iefilitY,
,We do, for he is a most 'con
detentions and upright Senator, and always has
keen) that desire could , not be`successfltl by
renewing Gevernor Wisi and his adberents

".The masses neverdid make a revolution, never
`can, and never will. A devoted and self-merino
ing. few Must 'ever take the initiative. And load
the first movements, of resistance. It required a
Patrick Henry to sieze the powder of the old maga
ninetand the Convention of 1770 Snatched liberty for
the people, rather than a Constitution from them.
In such times inter arma silent leges. The soiree
populi was then the plea and the justification.
But what does the sans poyali onli for in piping
times of peace, when-there are none to'make us
'afraid at the . polls of a Itepublio ? Why ,a very
.different rule and order of proceeding, when there
is time, and plaoo, and opportunity of consulting
the. sovereign people. -themselves protected in
their assemblies and votes. Accordingly, whet'
Virginia formed a Constitution a second time,
in 1829-'3O, and a third time in 1850-'5l, the
.form adopted by the Convention was, in both
instances, submitted to the legal voters—aye, more,
to Menem voters created by the new rrm before
itself was adopted. That t h e people s hall of right
judge for, themselves at the polls of their own or
gante law, unless they expressly authorise agents
to make and to adopt a Constitution for them, is a
principle for which, as a member of- the last Con-
Vention of Virginia, I would have contended as
strenuously , as I - did for any other principle of
popular: sovereignty or of self-government. There
toes no such authority delegated by the people to
the ConventionoflCanstes., Yet it, upon prose
dent, the Convention of Kansas adopts a republi
can former State government, anti reports it to
Congress. without submitting it to the people, I
agree with . Mr. Hunter , accepting it and
voting to reoeive Kansas as a State—clove or
tree,,diltto the MAGID. And why? Because, trot, of
precedent and secondly, whether it be accepted or
: rejected, it has to be submitted or is subject at last. in
_either eveut, to.the popular If a majority do
not :approve: the„, Constitution; they may or
„dotage . another Convention immediately, and
• adopt any reptilliecen form, after they Ire once a
State, wit/tout submitting it
ht all to Congress.
The question now is, then, not whether Congress
should adopt or reject the Constitution of Kansas,
submitted to the popular vetoer not, bu t whether it
ought not to be submitted to the people before it
is submitted to Congress?. Which, is the better
polio) , for the pro-slavery party to pursue—to sub
mit the Constitution at ones to the people, and
have en end of the agitation, or to continue the
shrieks for freedom a while long er ? If a majority
of the legal voters are opposedto the plan of Co.

Again, if the Constitution be submitted to them'
„first, it must be sabinitta to C.ngress afterward,
Pt 'see . -that - its- provisions aro republican, and
it must pass in review of the representatives
in 'Congress well in the Territory. But,

the bettor policy to . appeal to the people at once,

after impairing our own moral attitude before the
country?” Ar e we not in danger of having our
-attitude impaired by another question which has
arisen since Mr. Hunter's letters were written ?
-In all that Governor WisE says of the refer

we agree, with one exception. We agree
that the people of Kansas should do• what

would ho bettor for the real interests of the

Moldauus fell to the floor dead, and then the
sailors commenced an indiseriminate . onslaught on
all m the room. The bar-tender, a young man
named Richard Barrett, was stabbed in the left
side, the wound ponetrating'inwards and upwards.
Arran known as Sailor Charlie" received throe
several stabs in the right side, the knife each time
glancing from the ribs, so as not to reach a mortal
part. Susan Dempsey, a Scotch girl, nineteen
years old, was stabbed in the abdomen, just as eho
was coming down stairs, the knife penetrating to
the intestines. ' •
Driscoll was standing between "Sailor Charlie"
and the barkeeper, and when the latter was stab

back. Re then passed out of the door and called
for help, when the sailors bolted out and ran up
Water. street. Driscoll' and the wounded bar
keeper pursued them as far as Dover street, when
the latter fell down exhausted.
The Fourth ward. police were sent for. They
tobk the murdered man to the station house, and
the barkeeper and the girl Denipsey to the City
Hospital, where it is thought they will die. The
girl was said lobe very handsome. "Sailor Char

I know how to sympathize with you, for I fully

to that proud position they are fitted to honor; it
is becaustpwe have left them in obscurity to elo ,

only to deceive us. (Loud applause.'
" We have a right to assemble here, or upon the

two hundred policemen come out of the City

heart throbbed with indignation at the insult, and
how gladly I would have led you against the min.

Court, as a matter of course, had no offset upon
his movements, and we understand that ho left
yesterday with the advance guard, or first division
of hie army, with the view of falling In with the
transports aomowbore in Lake Borgne, and at
once proceeding to son. Everything appears to
have boon well conducted, and the effort to atop
the expedition has resulted like all previous simi
lar ones—in smoke.
The following communication, from a member of
the expedition, was received by us this morning,
and contains, we believe, all the information on
the subject of the departure, which is of any in•
terest at present:
Editors Pimping—Before this reaches you,
General Walker will have left the United States
on his way back to Nicaragua, with the first division
of emigrants. This division will number about
three hundred and Afty mon, over two hundred of
whom lett New Orleans. Of this number there
are over thirty of and men who were with
General Walker in Nicaragua. The offloers aro
us follows :
Aide to the General--Mar. J. V. Hoeft and Capt.
A. Brady.
Assistant Surgeon IleneralDr. Kellum, •
Colonels—Frank F. Anderson, Bruno Nfitzmor,
Thomas Henry.
Lieutenant Colonels—S. T,Tuckdr, A. Swingle.
Captains—O. Fayssoux and S. Kennedy, (navy,)
J. S. Went, J. V: Cook, B. F. Whittier, McChesney.
Lieutenants—William A. Rheo, McMichael, R.
G. Stokely, Winn.
Civil Officers—F. Belober, Jacob Colmus.
Soldiers and Citizens—Charles Brogan; John
Tabor, (editor Niaaraguense,) Frederick Romer,
John Rutter, J. M. West, M. Cavanagh, IL V O.
Richards, W. 11. Hunter, John Yates, - Tom Moore.
There were a number of others who have been in
Nicaragua, but I could not recollect thent when
hurriedly looking over the list of names. Many
others who wore anxious to return with General
Walker to Nicaragua have been disappointed by
not knowing certain when he would leave.
Col. Anderson, Major Ilooff, Capt. Kennedy,
Charles Brogan, and Jacob Cohens wore among
the original fifty-six who left San Francisco with
Con. Walker, in 1811, in the brig Vesta.
The present force may be considered rather
small, by some, to uffeet a landing, but I predict
that it will be found equal to the duty assigned it.
Con. Walker goes out with merely the advance
guard, to effect a landlng and make a standing
point. . MUNIIOE.
MOBILE, Nov. 12.—Lust night, about midnight,
some fifty or more men went aboard the Diok Keys,
which immediately left for the lower harbor,
where she took Gen. Walker on board to-day.
They all joined Walker, making In all a force on
tho Fashion of over four hundred well-armed, well
provisioned men
31011148, Nov. 12.—The steamer Dick Keys, which
carried down fifty men, besides a large quantity of
urine and ammunition ' into the lower harbor;about
midnight, has returned.
She took from the steamer California denorAl
Walker, his staff, and over three hundred men,
and steamed outside Mobile bar, where she met the
steamer Fashion, Capt. Caught in, with the artillery
brigade, the medical staff, some of the privates,
and a largo quantity of arms, munitions, and pro
visions on board.
The Dick Keys transferred all on board of tier to
the Fashion, and Captain Caughlin immediately
turned the prow of his fate-freigh,ed vessel towards
the shores of Nicaragua.
Monica, November 12.—The Now Orleans and
Mobilo mail boat California has arrived ' and
Walker and his follow-passongers are not on board:
The whole party was transferred from Dm gall
fornia to the steamer Diok Keys, which was wait
ing in the lower harbor for the California.
The Dick. Keys had on board a considerable
quantity of arms and • ammunition, and probably
some men.
A very few of the men became faint•hearted on
seeing the implements of war on board the Keys,
and were readily allowed to come on to this 'city.
'As soon as Walker and his men were
,Maced
aboard the Keys, she hastily steamed down the
bay,

Mr. Drayton submitted a report and an ordi
nance authorizing an appropriation of $30,000 to
pay the interest on the subscription of the late
districts of the Northern Liberties and Spring
Garden to the stock of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. -
Mr. Miller moved that Councils resolve them
solvee into Committee of the Whole, for the pur
pose of engrossing the bill, which was agreed to,
and Mr. Day called to the chair.
Mr. Drayton explained the object of the bill
When the city made a subscription to the capital
stock of the Pennsylvania Railroad, the districts
of the Northern Liberties and Spring Garden sub
scribed for 10,000 shares, for which they gave their
bonds, with coupons attached. Tho subscription
was merged into the city's subscription, after con
solidation. The interest on the bonds falls due on
the 15th of November, and as the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has declared no dividend, there
was no recourse for the holderaof these bonds ex
cept to look to the city for the payment.
Mr. Miller said these subscriptions were not
made until after the city had made her subscrip
tions, and they were made with the general under
standing that the principal and interest was to be
paid by the Pennsylvania railroad. They could
not have these subscriptions on any o' their lines,
as the tax-payers of those districts were opposed to
them, and cannot, now be held responsible for
them. From that time up to the present, the Penn
sylvania railroad has always paid this interest.
But now, when everything is depressed, when
everybody and the city ir prostrated, this mammy
tomes up and demands of us the payment of in
terest which the city never Contracted to pay. Is
this flair? Is it honorable , It is dishonorable on
the part of the company to ask Philadelphia to do
any such thing.
The speaker, in support of this argument, read
the ordinance by which the district of the North
ern Liberties made her subscription. They issued
these bonds, redeemable in thirty years, with cou
pons attached. This interest was to be paid by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, who were to re
ceive the coupons. It was distinctly understood
that the Pent.eylvania Railroad Company was to
pay the interest—this was the condition upon
whichlhese subscriptions were made. This com
pany is in better condition than the eitr, she can
pay all her workmen—the city is not Able to pay
any one. Ile hoped they would not pass any or
dinance to pay the debts of the Pennsylvania Rail
read Company.
Itir-Maschereoneurred in that portion of thelast
speaker's remarks which was denunciatoryof the
dishonorable course resorted to by the Pennsylva
nia Railroad Company to obtain this subscription.
But this did not relieve them of the difficulty.
The faith of the district had been pledged for the
interest and principal, and they are bound to do
it. lie asked them if they intended, especially at
this time, to permit the reputation of the city to
suffer. They could not escape from the clutches of
the bond-holders. They were legally bound to
pay this interest, and he should vote for the ordi
nance. If the Pennsylvania railroad failed, that
was no reason why the city should.
Mr. Wilmer said the oily was bound to pay the
principal of these loans, thirty years from the date
of their creation, but be did not think the city
bound to pay the interest at the time. He thought
It would be more honorable for them first to pay
the interest on the regular loans of the oity. lle
acknowledged that the pity was legally bound to
pay the interest, but the other loan-holders had
the first claim upon them.
Mr. Stevenson contended that these subscrip
tions were illegal. He thought this was a con
tract and covenant between the districts of tho
Northern Liberties and Spring Garden, and the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, in which these
districts had the best of the bargain. Its thought
the company had been cunning to paying the airy
eight per Cont., as its acceptance would be an evi
dence of the city's liability. These districts
agreed to pay the principal of these bonds at
maturity, but did not agree to pay or be lia
ble for the interest. The wording of the or
dinance shows this fact. This company assured
them at the time that they would never be
celled upon for the interest. This question was
one that should not be settled there by them
as councilmen or politicians, but should be
carried to the Supreme Court. The payment
of $OO,OOO annually for twenty-seven years is an
important matter for Philadelphia. Ito intimated
that the keeping up of the credit of the city was
not such an important matter. Ile thought the
credit of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
would suffer more in this instance than the city.
If they paid the interest now they would be com
pelled to do it for the ensuing twenty-seven years.
lie thought the credit of Philadelphia would not
sutler much by the bawling of certain stockjobbers
and note-shavers.
. . .
Mr. Kneass replied to the last speaker. Ho
thought they should view this matter only as it
appeared upon their records. They should meet
it promptly and just as it stands.
Ile read the Hots of Assembly upon the subject,
and thought they were bound to obey them. The
bond-holders in purchasing these bonds did not
look to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for
the payment of the interest, but to the city. The
last speaker opposed the bill because the word in
terest was not in the ordinance. If a wan, said
hit, holds a bond or a note, does not the interest go
with it If they failed to pay the interest on
these bonds they repudiated them—he could call
it by no other name. He asked if this was the way
they intended to maintain their pledge and credit?
Thu holders of these bonds paid for them in money
or services, and the city baying issued them, is
bound to pay them., If the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company is liable for the interest, let the city hold
her to it. But before they do this, they should act
in good faith to the bondholders. Ile could see no
cause for Minh harsh language as bad boon used
against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. He
trusted that a debt recognised by law would be
to ally and promptly met.
Mr. Drayton thought this the most Important
question that had been before them since be had
a sent en Council. There was nothing before them
in regard to the' contract between those districts
and the Pennsylvania Railroad Company but the
ordinances passed by them. The ordinance he bad
/Omitted bad been approved of by every member
of the Finance Committed,* Nothing could be more
disastrous to the hatereetsof the city than a failure
to pay this intereat--ft would be nothing but repu
diation. He read the ordirienite, as passed by the
diet list of the Northern Liberties, which sets forth 1
that these bonds shall pay six per cent. interest,
thc. Hetrgued that these bonds should be viewed i
in the l igh t of promissory notes—the Pennsylvania
Retiree Company being nothing more nor lees
than the agents of the city to pay the interest.
When this agent declined to pay this interest,
then, of course, the holders look to the city for its
payment, and she is bound for it. The argument
that the city is not liable is all a sham. He re
ceived a communication from the city solicitor,
giving it as his opinion that the city was liable for
this Interest. If they do not pass the ordinance,
the city will base .repudiated the claims against
It. There might be some there who desired such a
elate of affairs. Those who in the chambers had
always opposed all great improvements, were the
most bitter against this ordinance. If they did
not pass this bill, Ind it went out to tho world that
Philadelphia has refused to pay the interest upon
her loan, her credit will go down, down, down!
Mr. Miller said this was not a question of repu
diation—no such thing. It was only au attempt
upon the part of some of the members to alarm
them. The question was to whom simald the bond
holders look for payment of the interest. When
these distriets subscribed to the stock it was dis
tinctly understood that the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company was to pay the interest on them. Now
this company has foiled to do this, and they
attempt to heap this burden 1111031 the city.
MenTINO IN CONVIeNrION.—At this point of the
debate, the Select Council entered the room. and
Mr. Taylor, the chairman, announced that they
bad mat to elect directors of the Pennsylvania,
Sunbury and Erie, and North Wester_ itatirpad

The Chair declared those having the isieZ

oil retired to their chamber.
Common Council then resumed tbedisewrston .

of the Isto &trials of Spring Garden and Neelk.:
.
ern Liberties.
Mr. Miller said a man who had a bond depended
upon Its particular stipulations for his payment of
both principal and interest. Ile contended that
the commissioners of the Northern l o lbertli4
agreed to be liable for notho4 100 jlin prineipsir
and that the PenlisYlViiiira HallMsd .essinPan/
agreed to pay the interest. The bolder; of these
bonds were to call upon the Pennsylvania Railioad
Company for this interest, and upon no ono else.
Ho thought it best that the claimant, for this in
terest should prosecute their claims against the
city, and then the question would be settled by the
courts.
Mr. Stevenson said that the ordinance passed by
the Northern Liberties creating these bonds was
posted upon the street corners, and none could
plead ignorance of its particulars. Ile bad been
informed by the former President of the Board of
Commissioners of this district, that there was a
special agreement made between the commission
ers and the district, that the former were to pay_
the interest upon the bonds, and that that agree,
meat was on file with the records of the district-
Mr. Knoaas saidif there was such an agreement
it should be produced, and if the facts were as al•
!egad, then the city could recover the amount back
from the Pennsylvania R. R. C. The city hss
issued these bonds; the oily must pay both princi
pal and interest, no matter whether she pay it at
tho Pennsylvania Railroad office or anywhere
else.
Mr. Parker moved that the committee rise, re
port progress, and ask leave to sit again; which
was not agreed to.
The bill then came up on second reading.
Mr. Miller was surprised that they should com
pare this transaction to a promissory note ; there
was no analogy. lie proceeded at muoh length in
his argument, contending that the Pennsylvania
Railroad desired to thrust this burden upon the
tax-payers of the city.
Mr. blucher called for the previous question,
which was sustained.
Tho ayes and noes were then called on thlques
tion, " Shall the main question now be put?"and
it was agreed to by a vote of 34 to 23.

Another Meeting of the Onemployed--Fktre.sep
between dm Committee.—Yesterday morning, at
eleven o'clock, an adjournedmeeting of the Caere, I
',toyed Working_Men's Relief ASSOESSUOR was held
at Aoteon ball, Third street. below Callowisill. The
president George G. Clark, occupied the chair.
The petitions to City Councils, asking for the is
suing of scrip, At., which have been in circulation
and numerously signed, were handed to the chair
man. It was ascertained that over three thousand
signatures wore attached to these documents. A
committee of •six, on motion was appointed tetake
charge of them, and present to both branches
of the city goveernment, at the meeting tote held
in the afternoon.
The chairman desired to make a statement to
the members of the committee, and would then
resign his position as president. lie had con.
tented to act in that capacity because he firmly
believed that the object of the formation of the
committee was to dense moans of relief for the un
employed and suffering•workmen throughout the
city. He had attended the meetings , and done
all in his power to further an object of a charac
ter so commendable. After watching the course
of events, ho had been convinced that the
leaders of the movement were not of the right
stamp, but had ulterior objects in view. One of
the members of the committee of unemployed
workingmen, he stated, was a dealer in real
estate, and worth at least $20,000 Another mem
ber is an auctioneer; and well to do in the
world. These two Individuals had extended
their rambles through Manayunk, Germantown,
and some other places, and then had very
politely asked the committee to foot the bills
for carriage hire. This was inconsistent with his
idea of justice, and ho felt that the sooner he se
parated from such undesirable companionship,
the better it would be for himself individually,
and his interest •as a workingman. He then
formally tendered his resignation as president of
the committee, and left the room, after publicly
stating that he would have nothing whatever to de
with those who sought to take advantage of the
distress among the workingmen to accomplish their
own private aggrandizement. . •
Mr. Stafford made a few remarks of the same
tenor, and indulged in some very severe strictures
concerning those wealthy members of the eomultit.
tee who pretended to be workingmen, and yet en
deavored to rob them of their funds for selfish and
unworthy purposes.
After further discussion, during which it was
made evident that a majority of the committee
were opposed to any alliance with spurious work
ingmen, the meeting adjourned.
Outrageous Attack on a Policeman.—On
Wednesday night a notorious character, In the
southern section of the city, who murdered Brad
ley, the baker, at Seventh and Shippen streets, a
few weeks since, and who was subsequently ad
mitted to bail, committed another Tory scandalous

graceful manner, he was arrestelby a policeman ;
the bully turned upon the latter, and after knock
ing him down, stamped upon his breast, injuring
him in a very serious manner. Outrages of this
character aro becoming entirely too frequent. It
is but a few days. since we recorded a violent at
tack upon ono of the carriers of THE PRESS, at
the corner of Tenth and Vine streets, and a brutal
assault, in Second street, upon a policeman by
some of the rowdy adherents of a hose company ;
and now we are required to notice another moat
cowardly and unprovoked attack upon an officer of

the offender in this Oise. We know not when be

pence of the community •

The expenses of the year, including the outlay

lance on hand on the Ist October, 1337, was st 3,•
117.01, after payment of tolls, interest, and diet
dends.
The directors say "the road is so permanent in
its location and arm tarn, that it cannot be exten
sively injured by fire or flood. Its business is so
carts in and kcal in its character as not to be ma
terially affected by any revulsion in trade or com
merce; and its usefulness is so felt by those whose
carrying it does, as to hare secured for it the
good feeling and support of the entire popedation
of the richest and most densely settled valley of
the State. "
The financial embarrassments which have press
ed so heavily upon the bruineee of the country have
not affected this road, because it h.sa no floating
debt. It would be an additional ground for exal
tation if the policy of the board of directors was
directed to the purchase of its bonds, and the ex
tinction of every kind of indebtedness except to
its stockholders.
The annual estimate of the Board of Controllers

The New Orleans Delta, of Novem'oe'2 13th,
gives the following pleasing account of the - rerival
of business is that city:
', The levee is now fairly having its tun at last;
the upper landing especially is crowded with mer
chandise and produce, and at the lower landing
business commences to improve. There is, of
course, a considerable diminution in the number
of boats lying at Algiers, and by next week,
should the reported rase in the Ouachita and Red
rivers have been extensive, nearly all the boats
which have lain idle will commence running
again. Many St. Louis and Cincinnati boats are
expected down shortly. Seventeen boats from tie
upper country are expected at the levee between
to-day and the 20th.
" The receipts of cotton during the past twenty
tour hours are nearly 5,000 bales. Of western pro
duce the receipts are heavy, apd there was also a
fair amount of new sugars and &Masses on the levee
to-day. By the way, speaking of sugar, we must
not,do injustice to the Inver:bye faculty of a fair
Teutonic: maiden of sweet sixteen, who, provided
with a two-gallon tin bucket. and a ladle et long
but narrow dimensions, perambulated yesluday
in the vicinity of the sugar barrels, and filled the
aforesaid bucket, by means of the atoresaid
with the sweets of life."
The Bulletin says that a meeting of the stcok
holders of the West Chester Direct Railroad, was
held at West Chester, on Tuesday; the president,
Mr. Paschal Morris, made a detailed statement of
the efforts of the present beard to procure fends to
complete the road, and concluded by informing the
meeting that they were unsuccessful, and had no
hope of success. He offered, for himself and col
leagues, to resign in favor of any others who were
willing to try the espenment. Speeches were
made. but nothing definite Wit 3 arrived at, and the
general feeling seemed to be that the road 'would
bare to be sold.
