„ ,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 .

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

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!

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

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.

but of course they give no indication of the com
mercial crisis throne' which we have been passing.
The month of October, taken singly, exhibits in
the exports nearly two millions sf increase over
those of 1955, and more than £300,000 over those
of lust year. If we compare the ten mouths of
the present year with the ten months of the previous
year, the increase in the exports amounts to more
than eleven millions, and this enermous increase
in a single year would seem to afford some ground
for tbo charge of overtrading which is preferred
against a section of the commercial community in
certain quarters. The two closing months of the
