Vrtss. ' ;TpDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1867. . -4 13:2r1Ve present , an attractive first and fourth paie;tbisrnoming—a beautiful story from the Frenaf; 'editorial on India; California news; illi:s44iteous news, &o. „ ,THE DEFECTION OF DOUGLAS.” Under this captivating title the Richmond South of Saturday last, (the 12th inst.,) de votes a column of denunciation to STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS, of Illinois: The ,article opens as . fellows : 1::'" We are no longer allowed to entertain a doubt of 'Senator Douglas's determination to abandon ,the Democracy and enlist in the service of the Black 'Republican party. In his speech of lust Wednesday, he not only reproached the President with the utterance of radical and essential error in ' the — Message but distinctly declared himself a eliampiot - of ' Black Republican interests in the Kansas controversy. Of course this apostaoy was getoted With the unaffected applause of the party - - to; which :the: Senator from Illinois so suddenly Arisisferfhis.allegiance. Seward and Hale bore the Mot conspicuous part in the ceremony of Mi. elation; . but all Pandemonium welcomed the lost aptrit with An as grasp of friendship, vhile • hallelujahs resound from every anti-slavery paper in the hireling States. We cannot affect indifference at the treachery 'Of Senator Douglas. He was a-politician of con ', sideiable promise. Association with Southern gentlemen bad smoothed down the rugged vulgar}, es of his early education, and he had coma to bo quite a decent and well-behaved person." "r'Ne do not underrate the sensibilities of the people of the South when we say that this - monstrous language, applied to Senator Dommas, will excite the indignation of every honest man in that quarter of the Union. Whatever - mai be the motive of the news paper uttering it, croSouthern gentlemen" will shrink from it with instinctive disgust and *Sherrie.' ,_They will ask each other, whether .there is personal hatred of Judge DOUGLAS on :the part of the writer; but when they dis cover that not many months ago, Mr. DOUGLAS was far from being the last choice of -the • - editor of The South for President, they will 'find that the real cause of these epithets is on account 'ef the support extended' by Judge Dommhs to the very principle which every 'Southern Democrat, from Mr. HUNTER, of Virginia, to the humblest editor in Mississippi, is solemnly covenanted to defend—the plain principle that, the will of the majority shall prevail. 'We have been told here, in the free States, by a few politicians, that we must wait for the development of events before speaking out against the organized. villainy in Kansas; and • yet, in the midst of these counsels, the Rich mond South,- and other journals, indulge it: such denunciations Mr these. It is only a few days "since the Administration came in for the censure of these papers, because it would not displace and disgrace Governor WALKER ; and now that they suppose they have induced the Admiuistratioa to surrender to them, (in which we fondly believe they will be fearfully disap 'pointed,) they turn about, and draw their dag gers upon STEPHEN A. Dorm:As, of Illinois. His offence is certainly a capital erne. He stands by the principles of the Kansas bill: -He demands that the pledges of the Northern and Southern Democrats shall he fulfilled. Ho implores that the people of Kansas shall be PerMitted to vote upon their own Consti tution. He protests against the sway of an arrogant and confessed minority in that Terri tory.. Let us see how much more culpable his preseet position is than that of JAMEKM. ' MASON AND R. M. T. HUNTER, Is 1850, when, in the ease of California, they, together with JEFFERSON DAVIS, A. P. BUTLER, PIERRE SOULE, DAVID R. ATCHISON, -and others, demanded that the majority of the people should vote upon their own Constitu tion. We copy from their protest, published in the Congressional Globe, of August 1, 1850, as follows : "In sanctioning this syLtoin of measures, thii• Government will admit that the inhabitants of its Territories, whether permanent or transient. whether lawfully or unlawfully occupying the same, may farm a State without the previous au thority of law without even the partial security of a territorial organisation framed by Congress; without any . legal celestes or other efficeent ecf - deuce of their possessing the number of citizens necessary to authorize flee representation which they may claim; and without any of those safe. guards about the ballot-box which. can only be pro vided by law, and which are necessary to asap tain-the true sense of a people. It will admit, too that Congress, having refused to provide a Gov eminent, except upon the condition of excluding slavery by law, the Executive branch of this Gov ' ernment may, at its own discretion, mete seta inhabitants to meet in Convention, under such rules as it or its agents may prescribe, and to ferns a r t,t, ato ----experx - - out those also of fifteen States of Con federaey, by including, territory with the pur pose of excluding those States (robs its enjoy. meet, and without regard to the natural fitness of boundary, or any of the considerations which ehould properly determine-the limits of a State It will also admit that the-Convention thus milled into existence by the Executive may be paid by him out of the funds of the United States, without the sanction of Congress; is violation not only of the plain provisions of the Constitution, but of those principles of obvious propriety which would forbid any act calculated to make that Conrentior dependent upon it; and last, but not least in the series 'of measures which-this Government must adopt and auction in passing this bill, es the re lease of the authority o f the United States by the, Executive alone to a Government thus formed and not presenting even stifficient evidence of its hewing the assent of a majority of the people for whom it wad designed. In view of all these con eiderations, the undersigned are Constrained to be lieve that this Government could never be brought , to admit a Slate presenting itself under such cir cumstances, If it were not for the purpose of ex cluding the people of the slaveholding States from all opportunity of settling with their property in that Territory." - This paper, thus Wined and sustained, was filed against the admission of California, after the people had voted upon their own Constitu tion, after they had elected their Representa tives- and Senators its Congress, and when no objection was urged from California itself against her admission into the Union. Apply the objections of the Southern Senators to California, to the case of Kansas, and what a rebuke they inflict upon all who now crimi nate Judge Donato and his friends! In Kansas, (Which, Wits organized under a system of legislation, of which popular sovereignty is the very life and soul,) there is no at tempt to prove, on the part of the ad vocates of the Canine Constitution, that the ballot-box has been guarded; no at tempt to - show that the majority, have been represented ; no census has been taken; and whole counties were flagrantly and , insolently disfranchised at the election for delegates to the Constitutional Convention. Messrs, HUNTER, MASON, and thh rest looked primarily to the majority principle in Cali fornia, while they aro now quoted as utterly discarding that principle In Kansas! It is. , true that in the one case they pleaded for sla very, as mainly interested in the majority prin. .ciple, while in Kansas the minority principle is essential to the preservation of their peculiar institution." Judge ,Domatas stood by the majority in both cases, and Is nobly consistent; Vat how can a Southern paper object to his . course now, when all. these Southern leaders at this moment clamoring for the- minority lute in. Kansas, demanded that preeisely the same" guards should be - thrown around Cali , forDia that are now insisted upon by the Democrats who oppose the Lecotupton Con, stitution - And It is upon such, a record as this that ' Judge Dotemse is subjected to the ealemnies . • of-,The South When STEPHEN 'A. Dovorm is traduced - after this fashion by Southern Democrats, it is time for National Democrats to pause.. He has been atilost;distinguisheif and fearless chief ,- tale '.of the Constitution for 'twenty long years. He has never felt an aspiration that WAS not for his whole country. His career is crowded with victories won for and in the name of the South.: His re ply to Joan QUINGE ADAHS, on the boundary of Texas; his argument in favor of General Jsegsoe's resistance of the civil law in New Orleans; his eloquent support of the annexe then 01 Texas, and of the war that hollowed ; .his masterlyrand sulf.sscrilicing champion ., chip of the fugitive slave law his defiant and . - *lter.phant attack upon the fanatics of Chicago - When' they attempted to - drive him from his own home because' he bad stood tip for , the., -South ; his, early ' support of the Mits. ; his ,subsequent and brilliant cam ": paign in favor of popular sovereignty, in the face or the denunciations of Northern pulpits - Ind,Presites ;—these make up a record of bright • deerle•whieh ought to he foreVer remembered ,•: ,by the Southern people,ned which, we have rief ;doubt; are remembered ,iIy I DIO TIMM in 11Ortbliti; of the Hulett, , Their'are utterly yntler,feot;.howeoi; rito4outit, the moment ho 'dares ~ t eAktiti- t erill- f er-tb.e BEM par& and protie- Ot, the' majority tu 'Kaneda; presentNlA of that paper upon fOr,California. ,wlpuilii . a word, ho demands that his own pledges, and the pledges of the Southern Democrats, made during the discussion of the Kansas bill In 1854 and 185 G, shall be recleaned, he is de nounced as an Abolitionist, and the associate of 4 , slack Republicans," and reminded of 14 the ruggeq vulgarities of his early educa tion." Softly, ‘c gentlemen " of the Son:h. He stood by you when you were,,right. Side by side with Lim more than a million of Demo gists Lave battled for these rights. In all his long career of usefulness sustained by them, and with them often defeated, be uncomplain ingly threw himself against your foes, because it was his duty so to do. For this you gave Lim all praise. You even tried to make him President. But you mistook him as you will mistake the great people for whom he now speaks, if you suppose, because lie has cham pioned you in the right, in: wit.]: roLLow' YOU IN THE wnoNa I To be just to you lie was trilling to lose the good opinion of a number of Northern majorities, but ho did this unflinch ingly and unhesitatingly, because he believed tho future would vindicate his actions. , What motive, then, can he have for taking his stand for" the will of the majority" in Kansas Even the Richmond South cannot say it was selfish, fot-if that journal speaks for its section, Judge DOUGLAS loses the support of 'fifteen States in the South, because he has not feared to follow a groat principle to its logical con clusions. We perceive that, part' pout with these astuults upon Senator Dorton/Ls, The South, and other journals of that school, even since the, President's Message, complain of the tone of the Message, and demand ci Gov. WALKER'S head." Take the following from the same number of that paper which °acorn. municales Judge DOUGLAS : ".Wo repeat, the most vigorous is obviously the safest policy of Mr, Buchanan. If ho exhibit the least Indecision he will be deserted by his North ern adherents, and bo distrusted by his Southern allies. If he wants fast and fearless friends ' be can only find them in this part of the country. But he cannot command their confidence except by a thorough &gnarl of their interests. They will accept Walker's head as a proper reparation for their wrongs." In a preceding number of The South the President is bitterly censured for not perform ing this act of grace upon the Governor of Kansas. We area patient people, over this way. We have seen The South and its. allies opposing Mr. iIITUA.NAN'S nomination, and doubting his devotion to them ; we have stood calmly by, and witnessed their rule in Kansas, trusting the while, like submissive and enduring men, to the approaching recognition of the will of the majority; we have heard, with un ruffled temper, the objurgations of legislators and of politicians in some of the slave States, against such Democrats so WsLwr.R. and STANTON, because they would not become parties to forgery in Kansas ; and now we are expected to bear the additional outrage upon Jtidge PorcLas, and to see Gov. Wsmrxit's head carried before the conquering minority of the Leeompton Convention as a trophy of triumph. There is a point beyond which for bearance may cease to be a virtue. It has been reached,' gentlemen of the South !" viimvonNlA TOPICS The Californian papers, files of which we have received to the 20th ult., continue to agi tate the question of the seaworthiness of the Central .America, and, Indeed, of the whole line of steamers employed by the Pacific Mail Steamship company. The bad accommoda tion on these vessels, and the high charges for passage in them, are also severely, even an grily, condemned. The popular vote, at last election, recog nising the State debt of California, was about being carried into eirect, new bonds being in preparation under direction of the state Trea surer. These would be issued, on and after New Year's day, to those who hold old bonds of the State. Some doubts having arisen as to the constitutionality of the law by which the Debt of the State was Submitted to a Tote of the people, a ease would immediately be made, in order to have that question filially settled by an adjudication in the Supreme Court. Cad such a course been pursued be fore the repudiated bonds were originally issued, a great deal of loss and inconvenience would have been avoided. Tho necessity of retrenchment in every de partment of the State Government is a point very strongly urged. The San Francisco Her of November 11, says: "The expenses must be reduced, not so much as a matter of justice to tax-payers, as of absolute necessity. The cortsatutiOnaLlimit bag already been No more debts can be contracted, and, in the present absurd condition of our revenue system, the income of the State can not by any possibility be increased—not one cent more can be wrung from the merchants And tit; farmers. Under these circumstances, it is plain that the expenditures must be kept within tbu receipts for the future. This is a fact which should not be lost sight of during the session of the next Legislature." Upon the affairs of the Mormons, the reve lations from California aro most startling. The San Francisco Herald siys: ‘c The Saints are 'ln arms, and eager for the fray. Out lying posts have been established, 'oe moun tain passes possessed, ambushes planned, and localities selected in which' to cache the valu ables of the Mormons. Great Salt Lake City has been abandoned by its male population ; the Indian tribes aro in arms, and acting as picket-guards to the Saints; magazines of pro visions have been stored, munitions of war prepared and distributed, and everything has been converted into a general fund to prose cute hostilities against the Government. Our citizens have been waylaid and slain by hun dreds on the plains, by the Mormons and their savage allies; others have escaped only by being in their employ, and supplied with pass ports from their military chieftains." Further than this, the head of the Medical Staff of the Mormon army has proclaimed that, should the United States troops succeed in forcing their way into the Mormon settle. , clients, measures have already been perfected to ot burn every city, town, and village in the States of California, Missouri, and lowa, and that they had the men to do this, who were 'vat known to be Mormons." The necessity of con centrating such a forbe in Utah as will at once terminate all opposition, and compel obedience to the laws and the Constitution, is strongly urged, and the citizens of California are em phatically warned against assisting the Utah rebels. by supplying them with arms and am munition. The Commercial Crisis in the Atlantic States appears to have operated very slightly upon the trade and traders of San Francisco. One banking•house had suspended payments, with full prospects of meeting all its engage ments, and nn other firm, of any description, had been under a cloud. Gold and silver, it should be remembered, is the currency of Cali fornia. TILE FOREIGN MAILS The fidelligence from India and Europe, by the Europa, is unusually important. The pro gress of the British troops against the Indian rebels continued most triumphant. The vic tory at Delhi had been followed up, with bril liant success, by Colonel GREATIMAD and a small force, the result being the defeat of the Delhi fugitives. GeneralAvramex continued at Lucknow, which he had relieved with his small force, and awaited large reinforcements. Not a word is said of Sir COLIN CAMPBELL, who continued at Calcutta. Several heavy failures in England are ue ported, including a joint stock bank at New castle, the capital of the coal district. The funds wore rising, but all the markets were dull. Money was easier, and the Bank ofFrance had lowered its rate of discount one per cent. fry. The. melancholy death of Colonel F. M. WYNKOOP will occasion profound grief wherever the account we publish to-day may he read. He was a man of noble impulses, and had a hoSt of devoted friends. Strange and sad, that a gallant soldier, who had safely braved the diseases and dangers of a hostile country, should at last fall by such an acci dent! f." - The communication commenting upon Judge Titoursozes ; T 11 a..us.ons .o wASSIDY, Esq., will appear to-morrow, Trilead the debate between Senators Bro ken and DOUGLAS, copied from The Globe, on our first page.

THE PRESS.-PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1857. THE POSITION OF PARTIES IN KANSAS The Republican party in Kansas are in open arms against the action of the Lecompton Con vention, and determined to put into operation the Topeka Constitution in opposition to it. The Democratic party in Kansas have called a Convention to memorialize Congress to pass• an act enabling the people of that Territory to organize a State Government. This is the posi tion of Judge DOVOLAN. As to the Lecompton Constitution, it can scarcelybe said to have a party in its favor in Kansas. The action of the Convention is con demned with a degree of unanimity unparal leled in the political history of any pertion , of the United States. The whole Democratic party of Kansas was pledged by its candi dates, in October last, to favor the submission of the whole Constitution, and nearly the entire party is in Aver of adhering to that pledge. Of twenty papers in Kansas, but one advocates the Lecompton Con stitution. All the Democratic papers, (with one esception,) which have been denounc ing the Topeka movement, are equally hostile to the Calhoun contrivance. As near as we can judge of public sentiment at this distance, at least nine-tenths of the people in Kansas are bitterly opposed to the Constitu tion which the Lecompton Convention has at tempted to fasten upon them against their will. All Governments " derive their just powers from the cunsent of the governed," says the Declaration of Independence. The governed in Kansas do not consent to the Calhoun Consti tution. This is perfectly clear to all. Where, then, is it to derive its just powers from I We beara great deal of Et's° positions in these times. Can there be anything false in a position which merely demands that a fundamental truth, which lies at the whole basis of our Government, should be acknowledged—in a position which asks that the future State Gov ernment of Kansas shall possess "just powers" derived " from the consent of the governed," and not merely unjust powers derived from other and less reliable sources I BY MIDNIGHT MAIL. FROM WASHINGTON. General Walker—Banks and Steadman out for Renate Printing—Governor Walker—Dinner to Democratic Delegation from Pennsylvania —The House, ic., Sze. li r Aquistros, Dee. 11, 1557. The greater number of citizens condemn the fillibusterism of General Walker, and believe with Mr. Buchanan that alt such enterprises complicate and embarrass the vital interests of the country involved in our foreign relations. Notwithstanding this, the news that Walker had landed himself and forces at Punta Arenas, without molestation, was received with a feeling much akin to delight. • I learn that it Was not received with equal saris• faction by Mr. Ouseley, the Braid' Minister to Central America, and the British and French Ministers tilbelinitml States. It seems strange. seeing Thai Federal officers were removed for con niving, at the escape. of Walker from New Orleans, that the Saratoga should have allowed the steamer Fashion to pass safely under her gnus towards the destination of her (*filibus ter passengers. Yrissari walks the avenue with groat quietness and enjoyment during the present pleasant weather, and looks upon the whole affair with a complacency that goes far to substantiate the rumor that there Is an under standing of the moat friendly character between Walker and Martinez. Banks and Steadman are not content with their - succe;s over Wendell in securing the Rouse printing, but now endeavor to secure also the Senate printing. There are some buff a dozen candidates for this position of Senate printer. I learn that the Democratic Senators do not design to go into caucus on this question, but that when it arises in the Senate, enoh will lie left to vote for whom he pleases. Since Governor Walker's arrival here on Satur day lest, he has been confined to his room by se vere illness, lie unwaveringly adheres to the position of opposition to the Lecompton Constitu tion, occupied by himself, Judge Douglas, and thousands of prominentDetuocrats and Democratic presses. The dinner given by the President to the Demo• evils of the Pennsylvania delegation passed oft without anything occurring unusual to, such meet ings. It is supposed that Judge Douglas will press to early action by thu Senate the enabling bill for Kansas of which he gave notice, end which in its provisions is almost exactly like the Minns. sofa bill passed at the last session—a bill eon• twining this provision for the entire submission of any Constitution framed to the „people to be af fected by it, which 4r. Buchanan, in his message, declares should be established into •" a uniform rule." Since writing the above, a caucus has been held by tho Democrats of the Senate in reference to the committees of the Senate. The'subject of print ing was not referred to. Mr. Hunter warmly ad- Vacates outside the election of Banks. A bill was introduced by General Lane. of Oregon, and referred to the Committee on Mili tary Affairs, for the payment of the awards of the Military Commission which investigated the ex penses incurred by Oregon and Washington Terri. tonics in quelling Indian wars. These awards amount„to between five and six millions of dollars. It has been resolved by the House, as you will see by the Congressional column, to remove to the now hall on Wednesday neat. J. E. Fletcher, Indian agent at the Winnebago agency, reports to the Indian Bureau that the In dian employees upon the farm, in the brickyard and other &pulp:lents, work well, but want to settle often. Tho Indians were enjoying good health, were peaceable, add generally temperate. Twenty acres of winter wheat have been sown at the agency, but most of it was to be sown later, as less liable to winter kill. The brick made at the agency was of good quality, and coot between $5 and,s6 per 3f. Acting Commissioner Mix has received a report from Superintendent N. J. Cullum, who left St. Paul, on the 29th October, for the purpose of making full payments of annultke to the Chip perms of Mississippi, and the Pillager and Lake Winnebegoshish bands. Ile found these Indians, both upper and lower bands, much demoralized by the sale of intoxicating liquors to them by per sons outside of the reservation. The superin tendent put a check to the traffic by destroying the liquor, and putting In irons a man found en gaged in the WO of it. N. Y.

New Steam Engine.—Tic new steam en gine beity4 gotten up for the Philudelpitin Comouy is nearly ready for trial. The engine, when completed, will weigh about three ton.. It IN ill be eleven feet Ion.", and five feet wide, which wilt allow it to run on the track of the city rail road. The cylinder of the engine is ten and a half inches in diameter, with fourteen inch stroke. The pump is six inches in diameter, having the same stroke. The boiler is the ordinary tubular one, and it is calculated that steam con he raised with it in ten minutes. The calculation is that the engine will throw through a one and a half inch nozzle, three hundred and fifty gallons of water per minute. If nee.c , seary, three streams can be thrown. The engine is arranged so as to draw its supply of water front four plugs, and it has also a suction hose so fixed that it supply can be obtained from one plug . to keep the engine in service. The runninggcar is similar so that of an omnibus, with n tongue for horses, one to be used be hand. The entire cost of the engine will be about tt.J,500. .mother C'onviclion for Inceadiariym.—Two more persans were convicted yesterday morning of arson.
