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 : '

PENNSYLVANIA UPON POPPLAR SOVE-
REtfiptl'lrt
The Continental Onngrestt, on the 16th May,
1776, adopted a reeolution jeconamending to
the respective Assemblies and Conventions of
the United Colonies to adopt such government
as should, inthe opinion. of the representatives
of the people, best conduce to the happiness
and safety of their constituents in particular,
and Arrierica in general. 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

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

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."

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. R.

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 :

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.
The foreign news exercised a favorable influence
at the Corn Exchange. Flour advanced 5c per
bbl, especially for the lower grades of State and
Western Provisions were more active end firmer.
Cotton was depressed; and prices irregular.
