WHAT THE PEOPLE OF KANSAS DrAIAND An article in the Pittsbrirgh Union, replying toTnri Pnriss, closes thus: - "We only desire "that they shall reason with themselves upoik the matter, for we feel assured that it will inevitably satisfy them that the - sumption, that a wrong to the Kansas people would be involved in the admission of the State under the Lecompton Constitution, is utterly unwarranted," There is a short, plain_ answer to this. No body pretends that the people of Kansas favor the ,Lecompton Constitution. On the con trary, it is almost universally conceded, by their foes, that they. are overwhelmingly oppo 6edbo it: This is, after all, the Controlling fad. If ; the majority of the people of Kansas had, in any fair way, declared that the Constitution was agieeable to them, it would then have been no matter of ours, or of any other citizen, to ob ject to their action. But when, by public Meetings, by the action of their own legally elected Legislature, recognised as such by Mr. BoutrikstArri they almost unanimously object to 'this Constitution, and call upon our representa tives and 'theirs in Congress, assembled to reject it, and fo,give them the fair vote so absolutely promised last year, we would be less than men arid unworthy of the name of Americans, if we did not respond to their, appeal. , The West Chester Teffersonian is one of the few papers in this State which regale their readers with abuse of the ad afecatee of the it Ina. OF rae MAJORITY" in 'Kansas'. The Jeffersoiifan is' hugely in favorpf Mr. Buotteiwes administration, after having been for years devoted to personal assaults upon that gentleman and his friends. We trust the editor is at least as sincere in his friendship, as he was in his persevering opposition to Mr. B.; and if ho is so enam orpd, of making ,a test against all who do not endorse the Lecompton fraud, why not resign his seat as a member of the Legislature, and let-tho Democrats of Chester try him upon his own opinions 1 He would find the rule of the:minorify as hard to - bear in Chester as the sturdy Democrats of Kansas say It is there. Or, If he will nail his Lecompton flag to his mast, and keep it flying till next October, be can probably win a re-election by his courage. d. LEDOMPTON MEETING AT DETROIT. The Detroit Free Pre* one of -the sternest and -most consistent Democratic journals in the whole North west, gives a most graphic account of a meeting held in that city, in favor of the Lecompton frauds : ' Efforts were made to stop, the meeting befoie the call had been issued, in which, Ivo-understand, all the other Federal offioa-boldore • participated, who were isinea by many of our. most influential and reliable, Democrats `and devoted friends of Mr. Buchanan's, administration.

In order to carry into effect , the resolution of Congress, the Com mittee of the City and Liberties of Philadol phla,addressed circular letters, enclosing the resolve of Congress, to. , the committees of the severarconnties, requesting them to appoint deputies to meet in provincial conference. The county committees complied with the re quest, and the conference m9,t at Carpenters' Hall, in Philadelphia, on the 18th Tun o, 1776. On the nest day it was— "Reselosii;unaitimoitsty . , That it is necessary that a -provineitil convention bo called by this conference, for the express purpose of forming a new Government in this province, on Ma au thority of the people only." And they appointed Monday, the Bth daySif July next, for electing the members of the eenvention, and directed the persons so chosen to 'meet in 'convention at Philadelphia on Monday, the 16th of July next. This provincial conference adjourned on the 24th of Juno, having unanimously declared their willingness to concur in a vote of the Congress declaring the United , Colonies free and independent States. The convention met on the 16th July and Dr. BEI,LYARIN FRANKLIN and Colonel GEORGE Solis, both signers of the Declaration of Inde pendence, were unanimously chosen President and Vice President, and its labors closed on the 28th September by the unanimous adop tion of the Constitution framed by it. This instrument declafed all men to have been born equally free and independent, that this people Of this State have the sole,'exclusive and inherent right of governing and regulating the internal police of the same, that all power is originally inherent in, and consequently de rived from, the people ; that government is, or ought'to be, instituted for the common benefit, protection and security of the people, nation or community, and not for the particular emol ument or advantage of any single man, family or set of men, who are a part only of that com. munity; and that the community bath an in dubitable, unalienable and indefeasible right to reform, alter or abolish government in such manner as shall be by that community judged most conducive to the public weal—and that all elections ought to be free. The last section provided for the election of a council of censors every seven years, two thirds of whom had power to call a convention, but the articles to be amended and the amend ments proposed, and such articles as were pro posed to be added or abolished, should be pro mulgated at least six months before the day appointed for the election of such convention ; for the previous consideration of the people, that they might have an opportunity of instructing their delegates on the subject. . The Constitution thus framed, in the midst of war with the mother country, did not please all, and the General Assembly, on the 17th June, 17.77, passed a resolution directing the freemen .of each township and ward at their elections for inspectors for the:ensuing election in October, to choose arespectablo freeholder, to be called a Commissioner, whose duty it should be to go the residence of every person entitled to vote for member of Assembly, or take some other opportunity of meeting with them, and ask each and every of the said free men whether ho desires that a Convention should be called. The answer was to be given in writhag, put into a box or bag, which was to be kept shut, and to be returned to the Sheriff of the proper county, on or before the 10th November. The Sheriff and Commissioners were to cast up the number of votes, an ac count of which, under their hands, was to be returned to the next General Assembly, at their first sitting. The invasion and occupation of the eastern portion of the State . by the British, under General 'Town, prevented the execution of this resolve ; and on the 28th November, 1778, another resolve was einatthrionsiy passed di recting the people qualified to vote on the 2;ith March, 1779, We:house judges and inspectors, who should provide two boxes, and on the first Tuesday in April the votes of the freemen should be received, for and against a conven tion, which should be put in one of the boxes ; in the other box the votes for members of the 'convention should be placed. If there was a majority against a convention, no further pro ceedings were to he had; but, if there was a majority for a convention, then the delegates elected were to meet at Lancaster on the Ist Juno next. The subjects to be considered were, amongst others, the cardinal defects of a single legislative body and a many.headcd and powerless executive. Upon the petitions of upwards of 13,000 in habitants of the State, the resolve of 28th No vember; 1778, was rescinded by the Assembly on the 27th February, 1770, by a vote of 47 to 7. The council of censors said these resolves were violations of the Constitution, and yet, say they, tc we have no difficulty in declaring that, according to the fifth section of the bill of rights, the community have an indubitable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to reform, alter, or abolish Government in such manner as shall be by the community judged most conducive to the public weal." A majority of the council of censors at their first session, in 1783, but not two-thirds, were in favor of a Convention ; but at their second session, in 1784, the majority was against it. On the 24th March, 1789, resolutions were offered In the Assembly by Mr. Lewis, an eminent member of the bar, and seconded by GEORGE CLYMER, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and a framer of the Consti tution of the United States. The first was "That in the opinion of this House, altera tions and amendments of the Constitution of this State are immediately necessary." The second resolution was preceded by a preamble, reciting those parts of the Declara tion of Independence relating to the rights of Juan and the rights of the people to alter or abolish forms of government, and to insti tute a neMgovernment, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness," and also re citing the fifth section of the Bill of Rights of Pennsylvania on the same subject, from which, as well as from the nature of society and the principles of government, "it manifestly ap pears that the people have, at all times an in herent right to alter and amend the form, of government in such manner as they shall think proper." "It in therefore further Resolved, That it be, and it is hereby, proposed and earnestly recom mended by this florae, In execution of their trust as faithful, honest representatives, and guardians or the 'people; to the (thinned this Commonwealth, that they take this important subject into their serious consideration. And should they concur with this louse (it being the right of the PEOPLE ALONE -to determine on this interesting. ques tion) that a convention for the purposes of revi sing, altering, and amending the Constitution of the State, is necessary, it is hereby submitted to their decision, whether it will not be most mitre. fleet and proper for them to elect members of con vention, of the same numbers and in the like pro portions, for the city of Philadelphia and the cove. rat counties, with 'those of their representatives in Assembly, on the day of the next general election, at the places and in the manner prescribed in cases of elections of members of 'Assembly by the laws or this State." "That this House, an the fiensureol:the people in the premises being signified at thiqr next sit ting, will provide by law for the expenses which wilt necessarily he incurred by the proposed Con vention, and will, it' requested, appoint the time and place for the meeting thereof; and that the Supreme Executive Council be, end they are here by; requested to pioninlgate this ieeo Min endation to the. good people of ail ,Starr in such way and manner as to them 141101 seem most expedient for the purposes herein intended." These resolutions were adopted by a vote of more than two-thirds, and on the 16th of Sep tember, 1789, at the next sitting of the Gene ral Assembly, the committee of the whole made a report, which, after stating that it was the ascertained wish of a large majority of the people that a convention should be called, said (4 The committee therefore, in obedi ence to the wishes of the people, submit to the House the following resolutions, viz : "Resolved, That in the opinion of this Mouse, it is expedient and proper for the good people of this Commonwealth, to cheese a convention for the purpose of reviewing, and if they see occasion, altering and• amending the Constitution of this state; that in the op i nion of this Assembly, the said convention should consist of the like num ber of members from the city of Philadelphia, and the several countleS in this Commonwealth, as compose this Mouse, and be chosen on the same day and in tho same manner by the same persons, ut the same places, and under the same regulations, tie are direined and Appointed by the election laws of this State, save that the returns should be made to the convention so chosen, and that the said Con vention should meet at Philadelphia, °tithe fourth Tuesday in November next." The resolution was carried by a vote of 89 to 17. "Essayed, That, m the °pinta of chic Rem, a Convention being oleisen and met'jt - would be es pedient, just .and. reasonable, that, the Convention should publish theiramendmeitts andAlte:ation ,. for the consideration of the peppN, a oil adjourn at least four months previous irall.fit matron." This resolution was adopted with but ono dissenting voice ; another resolution provided for the expenses of the election and Conven tion, and it was it Ordered, That 7,000 copies in English, and 8,000 copies in the German language, of the foregoing resolutions, be printed, and distributed for the information of the citizens of the State." „ The people elected thb delegates to the con. volition at the October election, and they met on the 24th November, 1789, and continued in session until the 26th February, 1790, when, having agreed upon a form of constitution, motion was made by Mr. WitSox, seconded by Mr. FtNl:try, that the following question be taken, viz : "Shall the constitution as agreed to in convention be published for the consid eration of the good people of Pennsylvania:" The names of the members being called over, it appeared that the question was unani mously determined in the affirmative. The convention having provided for the pub lication of the constitution and their minutes, then adjourned to Monday, August 0, 1790. Having interchanged views with their con stituents, several amendments were made to the draft at their second session, and when completed, on the 26 of September, 1790, tt on the question, Will the convention ratify the same as the Constitution of the Common wealth of Pennsylvania?" there was but one dissenting voice. This, fellow- elfin ns, is the plain unvarnished history of the two first Constitutions of Penn sylvania, showing the entire control exercised by ,the people over their form of Govern ment, and the absolute submission by their representatives to the will of the pobple, whenever and however expressed; and their recognition of the groat fact that the act of forming a Constitution must emanate from the people, and be carried out by the people. If any Democrat can find in this simple narrative of facts, a warrant for the Lecomp ton fraud, we shall turn him to the history of the present century, when every proposition for a convention was first submitted to the people, and the Constitution framed by their public servants appointed and employed by them, was submitted to their masters and con stituents for ratification or rejection, and with out any oath to support the instrument upon which they were voting. TUE TREASURY NOTE BILL This bill being under consideration in Con gress on Tuesday last, and Mr. SEWARD, of Georgia, having moved an amendment autho. rizing the issue of Treasury notes of the de nomination of fifty dollars, lion. HENRY M. Puimars, of this city, opposed the motion in the few pertinent remarks, which we extract from the Globe. The five minute rule neces sarily limited Mr. PIIILLIP9 in his observations on the bill, and prevented him from discussing its general merits. This is one of the subjects upon which Mr. Pitmlars has bestowed great attention, and he needs but an opportunity to fulfil the just expectations formed of his ta lents and influence. Mr. PHILLIPS: Mr. Chairman, if I understand the amendment proposed, it is to insert " fifty" instead of "one hundred." I am opposed to the amendment, though I am in favor of the altera tion of the section. lam in favor of so altering it that the sums for which these Treasury notes shall be issued shall be fixed by law, and not left to the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury ; not that I doubt that an wise use will be mode of that discretion, but because I think that such an alteration will be the means of saving the Secretary of the Treasury from much annoyance, and at the same time ranks these. treasury notes much snore valuable for all the proper purposes for which they ought to be issued. I propose, sir, to move, at the proper time, that these notes shall be issued in sums of $lOO, $5OO, and $l,OOO. The bill itself provides that they shall not be issued in sums of less than $lOO ; but it does not prohibit their issue in fractional sums over $lO5. If they can have any valuable effect upon the community, though they may not bo legitimately issued for that direct purpose, let us put them into a shape by which that effect may be realized. I take this occasion to say, Mr. Chairman, be. cause I think it is germane to the subject, that these Treasury notes, in my judgment, are the very things which ought to be issued. The Presi dent of the United States, in his annual message, cummends to the attention of Congress the report of the Secretary of the Treasury which recom mends them; and my colleague, (Mr. Ritchie,) in stating that the President did not recommend them while they were recommended by the &cis,- tory of the Treasury, has fallen into a mistake ; not intentionally, of course. Ilis view, as I un derstand it, is that the President, in the body of his message, speaks of a loan, and, with respect to Tummy notes, merely indorses the action of the Secretary of the Treasury. If my colleague will look further be will see that the President in his message speaks of a temporary loan in ease the exigency of the publio service should require it; and certainly he will admit that in commending the recommendation of the &oratory of the Trea sury to the notice of Congress, the President in tends to refer to what he had stated previously— that, whenever the exigency of the public Berme requires that which he has called a temporary loon, it shall be realized in this manner. But why should this loan be made? Why should those Treasury notes be issued? My col league from Pennsylvania [Mr. Growl tells this House that it had better begin to retrench. - Does he recollect that every dollar now asked for is asked for to pay the debts of a Congress in which ho was ono of a majority f Does he not know that the appropriations to be made by this Congress will be made at a late period, and foe the fiscal year to commence in July next? Does the gen tleman forget that an appropriation bill, demanded by the real wants of the country, the Army ap propriation bill, was, during the last Congress, three times rejected Why is it, Mr. Chairman, that this ride of the House is reproached with ad vocating measures of extravagant appropriation, when we only ask for means to replenish the Trey sury in order that the debts contracted by the gentleman and his friends may be paid. We do not say to the creditor of the Government that he must uccept these notes; but the bill very wisely provides that unleas he chooses to accept them lie need not do so. I shall take the opportunity again of saying a few words on this subject, unless by doing so I shall embarrass the action of the committee on this bill. I prefer that the amount of these Trea sury notes shall be fixed, and for that reason I shall vote against the amendment of the gentle man from Georgia, IMr. Soward.i PUBLIC ENTERTAINMENTS A pantomime called "Harlequin Shoemaker and the Tailor of Kensington," which %yes first acted' at! &SWORD'S, on Christmas day, deserves particular notice, as the best thing of the sort pro duced in Philadelphia for many years. In addi tion to Harlequin, Columbine, Pantaloon, and Clown, (by Master Sanford, Mademoiselle Police, Mr. Sanford, and Mr. tiardner,) there is an Indian wizard, personated by a gentleman who rejoices in the remarkably seasonable name of Cool White. As the name denotes, this is a local piece. It is full of fun and frolic, with a great many now and clever tricks and transformation.. It follows Sanford's drawing-room concert, which is also ex tremely good. The revival of the show-drama founded on &Li ver s " Last Days of Pompeii, ' (brought out at ARM-STREET THEATRE on Christmas Day,) is re markably gorgeous, as respects effects and scenery. This piece, whirls too often has depended on mere show, is admirably played here. The east includes (among other members of " the great star company,") Mr. Wheatley, Mrs. and Mr. E. L. Davenport, Mrs. Thayer, and Miss E,ama Taylor. The house has been orowded since it was played, and it really is one of the most attractive features of our holiday amusement. Of course, it will be repeated every night, as long RS it draws At the Walnut Street Theatre, (where Mrs. Bowers also has " a great Star Company,") the new melo drama, welled "The King of the Mist," has been unequivocally successful. Miss C. Richings !plays the leading female character, cleverly, but coldly. Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Conway are now attaohod to the company here, and will be a decided acqui sition. Mr. Conway is one of the host actors In this oountry,and his wife (Mrs. Bowers' sister,) is as promising an actress as we can name. This eve ning they appear together in the (adapted from the French) piece of " The Marble Heart," The leading east will include Raphael Durhalet, Mr. Conway; Ferdinand Volage, Mrs. Conway; Cho tanniargeamr,,Mr. Rif:things; Madamoiselir Mar co, Mrs. Bowers; Clementinr, Miss C Jefferson ; and Marie (with songs) Mies Richings. A popular and celebrated spectacle, with now scenery and dresses, is underlined here. The Rag-Picker of Paris," and the ballet-pan tomime of " Santa Claus" are the announced at tractions at the NATIONAL TIINATRE " The Poor of New York (another adaptation "from the French,") is underlined here.

CORRESPONDENCE FacravwAmmo TON. [Correspondence eine Press.] WASHINGTON. pee. 25, 1857. The Union. Is publishing loiters from " distin guished sources in the West," to show that the Lecompton swindle has supporters in that region. It makes but a poor showing oven in this stale trickery. Theletterspublished are few, and their commendation of the Calhoun usurpation faint and feeble. They manifest the presence In that great and unconquerably Democratic section, of an irri mistible hostility to the whole scheme, of involving tho Democratic party and the Democratic Adminis tration in the shame, disgrace, and ruin which any connection with this flagrant fraud must bring upon them. A miserably small squad of politicians anti office holders—fortunately for this country, a feeble and weak olique in those groat Democratic beehives, the bold, free, and untram molted now States—constitute the whole force of the Lecomptonites ; on the other side, the array of Democratic strength and numbers is without parallel. Never before did the Nerthwest move with such majesty of power, union, and enthusiasm as in its opposition to o thitt groat wrong and trea son. The petty quibblei, In justification Of the treason cannot shake the sturdy minds and hearts of the founders of our Western empire, from their devotion to the great principle which lies at the - very foundation of that progress and greatness that have se astonished the world. Against the few letters from placemen and political managers pub lished by the Union, Judge Douglas can array not less than eight hundred letters per day from the purest sources of'popular opinion, which are poured in upon him from every quarter, endorsing and applauding his course. It will show the strength and sincerity of the feeling in this behalf that many of his eorrespendenis bold Federal offices. Not e few of these letters aro from the South, a great many from the interior of counties of Now York and Pennsylvania, but most of them aro from the groat West.' You are right in saying that the South is tar from being a unit In favor of the Leoonapton iniquity. The Southern people are not always represented by their political agents. Tho habit in that section is to indulge their repre sentative in sectional ultraism, on the principle that it is well to be even overzealous in a good cause. Hence the strong, defiant language, the menaces of secession, the violent demonstration:and , great te nacity: for abstractions, which' constitute the burden of the speeches of their publie man. But when it comes to acting and voting, the people set aside these fiery gentlemen and dealer° for them selves their conservatism, their devotion to the Union, to justice, and fair dealing. So they did: in the compromise agitation of 1850, when nearly every prominent fire-eater went overboard, and secession, which bad been so loudly preached by, their representatives, was so emphatical ly trepudiated by the people. And yet, after the struggle had passed and the issue had boon decided, the very leaders in this movement, which had been so signally defeated, were again restored to favor. Their excesses and errors had leaned to their side, and BO their generous con stituents determined to continue them as repre sentatives of the ultraism which is always pro claimed, but never, when it conflicts 'with the love of the Union and good faith practised by the South I think it not improbable that on this Lecompton issue there is the same contrariety between the people and the politicians in the South, as there was in the Compromise struggle of 1850. With some familiarity with the Southern people, I think I am safe in asserting, that if Northern Democrats had not taken :the initiative in favorer the Lecompton usurpation, it would have had few real and sincere supporters in the South. " But," as a Southern Senator said, " when our Northern friends volunteer this concession, with what grace can we refuse it, and thereby expose them undefended to the fury of their own people." Such n declaration speaks better for the generosity of the South than for the manhood of the North. The news from Kansas to very alarming. I adds greatly to the burden and anxiety which op press our patriotic President. One of the im pressions which has exercised the largest control over his views, is the idea that the opposition to the Lecompton Convention originated with and is chiefly kept up by the Topeka insurgents, under the lend of Lane, Robinson, and others. Ills love of law and order, his invincible conserva tism and hate of all violent, disorderly, nod un constitutional proceedings, have naturally aroused that old Jackson energy which is a characteristic of the President, as his friends well know. In oil him conversations, ho evinces the Influence of this feeling. Almost every man who bas been to Kan sas, or who has conversed with reliable parsons re cently from there, tells a different Flory. I have just seen and conversed with a Mallow' gentle man, the very last arrival from the Territory, and front him I learn that some of the strongest opponents of the Lecompten Constitution are Southern gentlemen, the advocates of slavery, who would vote for the introduction or continuance of slavery in the Territory, but who abhor and de nounce the gross swindle and breach of faith that have linked the name of Leoempton with In famy. But if the President will not change his course, ono thing is certain—he utterly condemns and re pudiates the attempt of certain of Isis so-called friends to make non-concurrence with his policy on this one subject a ground of expulsion from the Democratic ranks, and to brand as deserters and traitors, those who will not support the abandon scent of the pledge and principles of the party by the support of the Calhoun Constitution. Let the rule bo carried out, and to what results will it lead? Senators Pugh and Davis in the Senate, and several mountain of the Democratic party in the Rouse, opposed the issue of treasury notes, as virtually initiating a paper currency and National Dank—but I have not hoard from Senator Fitch that they wore to be insulted by having their names associated with those of Aaron Burr and Martin Van Buren, or that their defection had created any now gaps in the Democratic phalanx, as Senator Slidell insists had been done by the opposition of Douglas, Stu• art, rte., to the Lecomplon fraud. Again General Quitman and u majority of the Southern members will oppose the views of the Proriclont on two sub jects of great importance which occupy prominent places in the message, to wit : "The Nellie Rail road and the Neutrality lowa." Are these gen tlemen to be expelled But why dwell on these ebullitions of the hour—when you and I are so well satisfied to bide the events of the nett eight, or ten days, with co strong an assurance that oven grave Senators will soon have an occasion to Lamont their precipitancy and their lack of charity, and to rea lize, in a moderato degree at tenet, the painful reverse, so energolieally described by the Poet— " The arbiter of others' bite, a suppliant for his own." feorrespoudenee of The Prou ] Congress adjourned yesterday for the Christmas holidays. It was a timely adjournment. (treat events will occur before their next meeting, whioh may solve questions as full of embarrassment as any that have engaged the minds of our represen tatives for many years past. By the 4th of Janu ary, the doubters and waiters wilt be deprived of all further excuse for dodging the groat lame which has already been made on a queatien, in relation to which it would have involved a gross reproach and libel, six months ago, to have fuspeitod any Democrat to be undecided, And yet, what can happen, what turn can take place in tlai affairs of Kansas, that will not justify the course so manfully pursued by Governor Walker, by Senators Douglas, Stewart, Broderick ? One of throe results mutt have happened on the 21st, any of which would render the position of these gal, lent Democrats impregnable. Probably no elec tion was held on account of the violent opposition of the people in Kansas; this would prove the wisdom and prudence of Governor, Walker, and Senator Douglas, in opposing the submission of an instrument so repugnant to the great mass of the people. But if by the employment of the United States troops an elcotion is held against the will of the people, the returns will be miserably meagre, and either for or against slavery. If the fernier, there is no Northern man who has stood by this Leoompten swindle, as a fair expression of the will of the people, who will not be covered with theme and confusion. In the last alternation, of the adoption of the Lecompton Constitution without slavery, look out for breakers from the South. Governor Brown, of Mississippi, the first Southern Senator who hoe spoken on this subject, declared yesterday that ho would vote for the admission of Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution, without shiver y, provided the election on the 21st was a fair our. The Gov. gave great emphasis to his proviso. It is a very safe one. It gives him a largo margin. As there never has been An election in Kansal which woe regarded a furs one, (slneothat of October sth,) it to not very probable that the Governor will be without an excuse for voting against the admission without slavery. The rumors In circulation which have boon eagerly caught up by the jealous and far from satisfied Southerners, of Interference by Fe deral officials, to sugar the bitter Lecompton pill, with the anti-slavery proviso, the recent cam• plaints of Georgia and Missisippi of Gdv. Walker's alleged intervention by (teetering the unsuitable ness of the country for slavery, will afford South ern representatives very plausible pretexts—if not good excuses for rejecting the decision in favor of the Lecompton instrument, vie/tout slavery. How, then, will those Democrats who have from the aotnmencoment, on the very threshold of the controversy, declared themselves in favor of the right, of justice, of self-government, and true popular sovereignty' stand by the Side of the trimmers and waiters, and the open and declared (morales of the great principle which' constitutes the very core, the germ and life oUthe Kansas bill? Their position is taken; it Is in any event a secure and safe ono; It Is all plain' soiling for them in the future ; but for the others there are awful breakers ahead, and dark tempests gather ing In the horizon. We aro not surprised, therefore, at the contented, self-reliant, and assured air of Senator Douglas, in his last speech, in reply to Fitch, in which he declared that in sixty days he should have the warm approval and gratitude WAF;IIINOTON. D9c. V, 1857 of those who now looked so frowningly and me nacingly upon him. Instead of being turned out of the National Democracy, they would be pre pared to vote him a modal fur his fidelity to its principles. This idea of ruling or reading the in trepid Illinoisan out of the party of which ho has been fur so many years so valiant and faithful a chief, is exceedingly rich ! Ain army, it was not a bad thing Senator Wade, of Ohio, said when congratulated by some flippant Congressman on the accession of Douglas to the Black Republican ranks (though tho Senator's assumption was quite gratuitous and baseless), "No, sir! Douglas won't come over to us. Ile may, in a stress of weather, put into our harbor, to refurnish and get more ammunition, but he will sail out again and open upon us with renewed violence. He is only skirmishing with his own party now to keep his hand in for the more serious combat with us." As political movements, looking to individual ad vancement, I regard the course of Douglas, Stew art, Broderick, and Cox as eminently wise and sagacious. They have mot promptly au issue which is unavoidable. They have not chosen to wait on events when a great principle was assailed. Great regret is expressed by the friends of the friends of the gallant young Senator from Ohio, that he did not place himself at the side of Doe gins in the beginning of the fight. It is, how ever, confidently believed that he will at an early day resume his position in the front ranks of the Democratic champions of self-government and popular sovereignty. Senator Stewart, in an able and statesmanlike speech, has evinced no less sa gacity than fidelity. Ono of the allusions in the letter of Gen. Cass to Gov. Walker may 'provoke further corres pondence, which will add to the complications of this affair. It Is the denial that the President ever instructed Governor Walker to insist upon the subfulaion of the Constitution to the people. But a truce to polities. The gay streets remind me that we aro on the eve of that blessed•holiday, devoted to domestic and social pleasure, from which all secular and political cares and thoughts should be banished. The day is beautiful, the skies dear and cloudless, the air cool and bracing, without being raw or boisterous. The sidewalks are crowded with anxious mamas and papas in pursuit of kniek-k necks for the dear little ones, whose gladsome prattle is now the sweetest of all music. All betokens a gay and happy Christmas. Most of our Congressmen remain at the Capitol, 1111 since the meeting of the body tboy have bad little leisure to make and return visits, to write up their correspondence, and attend to the little matters outside of legislation entrusted to them by their constituents.

Sailing of the Anglo-Saxon. PORTLAND, Deo. 26.—The steamer Anglo-Saxon sailed for Liverpool at quarter past two &dock this afternoon. THE MONEY MARKET. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 26, 1857. The unfavorable character of the news by the Persia, the substance of which was circulates! on 'Change this morning, served to maintain the apa thy which has so longeharaeterited the stock mar ket, the whole amount of business transacted being not more than a fair day's work for a popular bro ker in speculative times. Prices, however, thaw no material decline. In the money market, the supply continues to accumulate ranch more rapidly than the confidence of Its possessors, who display the utmost fastidiousness in its employment. Only the very choicest paper can be readily disposed of, and the few sales of less-known bills that are made, quote at extremely high rates. The foreign news is very discouraging. The failures in the north of Europe ore reacting heavily upon England, end increasing the distress there, six important failures having been announced in one day. In Franco, it would seem that the worst was over, and that a steady return to the usual courses of trade would ensue This result is at tributable, in great part, to the comparative com mercial Del Mon of France from the general aye— tens of international exchanges. Prussia, Germany, Austria, Denmark, and even Russia and Spain are still suffering severely under the effects of what it is becoming fashionable to call the American panic. It seems impossible, upon a calm review of the whole chapter of commercial distress and distrust that have prevailed and still do prevail, to resist the conclusion that the same causes that have pre vailed hero obtain equally in other countrres The difficulty Is no more American than it Is European. The share which this country has had in it bears no greater proportion to the whole than the amount of capital involviid in our trade and oom meroo boars to the capital of the world. It is preposterous to suppose that the break down ;of a few corporations and their con nections to this country could bring about the embarrassment of all Europe with its thousands of millions of capital. It has been the mismanage ment of this immense capital in Inflating universal credit, that has produced the mischief The ex pansions in America have been but a part, and an imitation of a larger system, which is now seen to collapse ; and the reason for the commencement of the distress in America may readily be found in the limited capital of a young and partially un settled nation. The disease, however, is universal. It IS not a contagion, originating here and spread ing abroad. It existed wherever the extended commerce of the world reached, and would have terminated in immense and wide-spread disaster, oven if America had borne no part whatever in that commerce. The Bank Indemnity Bill, passed by Parliament, provides that the Bank Charter Act shall remain suspended until the expiration of twenty-eight days after the meeting of Parliament in 1858—a procedure which will carry the bank over the Janu ary dividend period. If, in the meantime, the di rectors can reduce their minimum below ten per cent., the act will renew its full force. The 'Westmoreland Coal Company have declared a dividend of eight per cent., payable to the stock holders et the company's office, corner of 'V Mine alley and Third street, on and after January 4, 1858. The Ilfinerv . Journal of this week says of the coal trade • As we put our paper to press a day earlier than usual on account of Christmas, we cannot furnish the official quantity of coal sent to market for the seek, but from what we could learn the trade would ho small, not exceeding probably 23,000 tons—of which 1,433 10 tons wore sent by canal up to Wednesday evening. The business by canal may bo considered as closed, only two or three boats having boon loaded for the lot two or three days. The aggregate trade compared with last year .will vary but little from the following : 1856 1857 6,72,542 6,421,542 Anthracite... 8 o m 1-Anthra cite and Bit ntinoto 1,117,400 1,007,406 7,69,048 7,518,046 350,000 Making the decrease in the supply in 1557 350,- 000 tons. The above embraces all the Antraeite Regions in the State, and the Semi-Anthracite and Bitumi nous Regions of Cumberland, Bread Top, Traver ton, and Lykens Valley, together with the foreign importations of coal.

LETTER FROM NEW YORK [Correspondence of The Preu ] Saturday is generally a dull day, but this was was peculiarly so, owing to the inclemency of the weather, and the absence from town of anumber of bullnesq men, who went away to spend Christmas, and did not think it worth while to return for Sa turday's market. There is no change In the lead ing features of the money market. It would seem to is the general desire in banking and commer cial circles to wipe out all old scores before any new business is undertaken. In a month from now the usual " spring business " will commence, and there Is some reason to hope that between this and then the winding up and scrutiny process will have ceased, and with it that .stagnation In trade which has weighed so heavily on all classes of the community. The most convincing sign of the dullness of trade is the ex treme scarcity of short prime paper, which the banks and money lenders are most anxious toget-, 11l order to employ their unproductive capital. Every one hopes that Oda wilt cease within the month of January, and when every one hopes anything It is gradually fulfilled. The news from Europe is not considered quite good or quite bad. In England the improvement is wholesome, steady, and progressive, notwithstanding the tong list of failures; but in Germany the sky is very bleak, and the fury of the storm is not yet spent If the foreign news has produced any influence it is for the bitter. Our relations with England are so in timate and so large that hopeful tidings thence naturally make us feel more comfortable here. I believe that the worst is past, and that if we could master enough of confidence in each other to set the wheels of the business car in motion, it would roll on by itself, as there is now no lack of material by which they are greased mos t effectually. Notwithstanding the heavy export of specie during the week, I do not think the bank statement oI Monday will exhibit a decrease of much more than a million, so rapidly is bullion flowing is from all directions. The North Star to-day only took out $302,000. There was very little business done in foreign exchange for to-day's steamer. Sterling (60 days) sold at 109a1091,1001 being the average price paid; Paris, 5.27a5.20; Am steed-am, 41 f all i;lf smburgth 361037; Bremen, 781. The exohanges at the Clearing House were $13,253,377.01, and the balances were $789152 09. The cash transactions at the Sub-Treasury to day were: Receipts, $112,210 22, payments, $145,77:, balance, $3,661,662.25. The receipts for cus toms were $25,000. The export of specie from tkto port for the week ending to-day was as follows: 32,676.205 92; previously reported, $41,722,000.28. Total 1857,544,393,296.20. The Sub-Treasurer, J. Cisco, Esq., gives notice that he will receive deposits of gold to the amount of $3,000,000 on account of the treasury notes which are to bear interest at the rate of three per cent. per annum, and to be leaned in some of 8100, $5OO, and $l,OOO, at the option of the depositors. By this means capitalists can obtain interest im mediately for their unemployed capital, and the Government will be supplied with means for cur rent expenses. If the amount asked were thirty, instead of three millions, it wodld be eagerly taken up. The stock market was also dull to day. but with out any material change in prices. The greater amount of business done to-day was on time, State and United States stooks were firmly held Bank stooks were not much in demand, and rail road bonds were drill at former prices.
