The hoed and'front of the President's offending

case of Kansas is a very different one, and it seems

" the right of the people of a Territory, in the act
of applying for admistion as a Stateinto the Union,
to determine ler thomaelves their organic institu;

The late - Intelligence Nom Kaasas discloses
be* reach 'ic the unhappy controyeraf which
has heretofore raged In that Territory" Is ag;
gravated" by the non-submission 9f the_ Le
compton Constitution to the people.
On the 4th of Jr'ly z 1857, the Editor of Tua,
raise delbiered the annuaf:iddress to the De-;
rnocracy in:lndependerice Square, by regular
invitation, ib which, following out the'deelara,
tionfrof the Richmend_Examinec.of the 28d of
Jane; and, as it appeared, anticipating by three
days the strong editorial of the -,Washington
onion in the same direction, he used the fol
lowing language. We copy from the printed
report of that speech.:
it is not my purpose to enter into an argument
to show what ought to be the qualification of voters
in the Territory of Kansas, when the State Con
stitution, shortly to be formed,'shall be submitted
to them for rejection or adoption. Cloy. Walker
has himself declared that the people of the Terri
tory must be 'protected in the exercise of their
right of voting, for or against that inatrument,
and upon. this lievrever they may have re
fused to vote for delegates to the Convention, or
however they may refuse to Vote when the Consti
tution is submitted to, them, it Is morally certain
,that they cannot sustain . themselves before the
-Convention .by rejecting Governor Walker's fair
,and liberal policy. . •
I am surprised, however, that in some quarters
theright of the people to vote upon this Constitu
tion should be questioned, but I rejoice to know
that in the South many of the ablest and purest
men acknowledge this right, and aro resolved to
stand by it. In this connection the article in the
Richmond Examiner of the 23d of Juno deserves
notice—a newspaper conducted by an extreme
State-rights man —a newspaper which may be
called a representative of the Calhoun school of
politicians-rqvhich boldly states, that according to
the provisions of the Kansas bill passed in 1814,
there eon bo no doubt that this right exists and
that it ought to be recognised when the Constitu
lion-shall-he presented to the people of Kansas for
their judgment. It would be supererogation to
show In how many cases territorial or State Con
stitutions have been submitted to the people after
they had been formed. Our own reformed Consti
tution, in 1838, was presented to the people and
adopted by them, and according to that instru
ment, every subsequent amendment to it moot first
be ratified by two-thirds. of two successive State
Legislatures, and then submitted to the ballot
bet. The same may be said of every other Con
stitution,:which has been liberalized , within the
last twenty years. It would be, to soy the least,
a monstrous wrong if this principle were not car
ried out in Kansas. If it should be, as It will be,
What Southern,- what Northern man, will cavil at
the result?
If the majority of the people of Kansas desire a
free State, they will have it; and if they desire a
slave State, they are entitled to it. In the former
event, after all- that has boon said-and written,
.what becomes ,of the Republican platform of 1856?
What becomes of the pledge of the Fremont lead
ers; that . whenever Kansas' is- made a free State
they will be willing to endorse the
. poliey which
.produces that result? Tilts seas thar only issue
-of tlialate canvass., Upon this basis, the opposi
tion sectionalized itself. Upon this basis they struck
out fifteen stare from the national flag. Upon this
basis they refused to co-operate with, Southern
men. Upon this basis they denounced the Demo
,oratia party„as the, slave- party, because -they
be
lievedor• said that the policy of Mr. Ruehanan's
friends would he Certain to and in making Kansas
a daps State. But when,. after a fair and legiti
mate mattress of votes in tho Territory, of MUMS
-when all the people of that Territory have the polls
thrown open to them—when organizations, foreign
to the soil, are prevented from obstructing. the
rballot-box—wheistboso -who hioco removed from
4ikelntsc. Misseurl, -South Carolina_ and Missis
sippi, Alabama and Texas, shall stand aide by side
wills those from Massachusetts ) Ohio, Indiana,
Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania,
and New Jersey, shall take advantage of ,the pro
tection of the Federal Government, and the unre
strained majority of their votes shall give Kansas
a free Constitution—what, I ask then, bodomes of
the pledge of the Republican leaders in 185(1? The
last plank upon which they stood will have boon
taken away; the work which they said could not
he accomplished fairly, will have been aceom
,plished • In that event, sectionalism will
have received its death-blow, and Abolition will
be compelled to fall back upon those old irritations
and deviate whiehshamed and disgraced this early
stages of its existence. ,
lowa won conceive the dilemma of mere poll
-Gelato who opposed the Democracy in 1 8 56, illsaah
an event. But what will those men do who, in
that contest, and by Legislatures chosen in that
contest, were elected to the new Douse of Repro-
Sentatives and Senate-of the United States? In
Pennsylvania, Simon COMMA' was chosen to the
Senate upon this platform ; in New York, Pres
ton King; so Illinois Lyman ,Trumbull; in Wis
consin, Merles Durkee; in lowa, Aaron Harlan.
• Alitheso Men, professing Democrats in their day,
:wore ebosen to the Senate,, as ethers were chosen
to this House of Representatives, upon the plat
form of free Kansas.- Bow long will they re
main identified with the opposition should Kansas
become a , free State? Nor will the .South be a
loser• should a fair trial bring. about this result,
for the same mon who repeatedly pledged them-
Selves to submit to any polioy which made Kansas
a free State. also declared that if the South were
:willing to ,yield this point, they were ready to ea
quiesoe in the erection of now slave States out of
Fatima of Texas. They wore willing to concede
the pantie& of Cubit—all they asked was that
'Kunsas should bo scoured to the free States. Such,
ittallevents, is lay reading of the events of the lost
elaurisign, and nob, it seems to• sue, - must bo the
Ond. It would indeed bean eloquent sequel to the
Struggle of 1856, and to all Its incidents, if, under
a Peniiityliiiinia' President, •ft Pennsylvanian like
Robert J. Walker, - at GOvernor of Kansas, should
be tho instrument of restoring peace, prosperity,
and happiness to the fairatilof that Interesting re.
glen. , .
But It is unquestioned that every honest
than in' the Southern stites is,• nt r solemnly be
lieve, prepared to sanction the admission of Rail
sag into the Union as a free Stale, should that be
the result of a fair untrammolled.election, so do I

as. In „ the matter of subniittini the Constitu:
Con, we have been, and we are now, sustained
by he poOple, and especially by the Demo
lomtic party. , ,
Up, then, to November of 1856, the doctrine
of the Richmond Examiner of June, and of the
Washington Union of July,—that the Constitu
tion of Kansas Met be submitted to the peo
ple; or elie the whole' movement Would bo a
fraud in the eyes of our opponents—was the
Administration doctrine. But about this time
the Union determined to change front', and the
Word was given out, by that print, that tho
Constitution of Kansas, which hid not been,
and wasnot Iriteiided to lie, submitted to the
people, must 'be accepted as an achievement
Of Alm,' inhilmeit statesmanship, and tie set
tlement of all the difficulties in Kansas, and
that the people of Kansas must ho compelled
to accept it. A most insolent attempt was
made to make a test of this change of front.
The transformation ofthe Union was, however,
too sudden, direct, and brazen. It occa
sioned mingled contempt and indignation
in every • independent mind. Almost the
entire Democratic press had been committed
on the, other side—in' favor of tile doc
trine Originally preached by the so-called
Administration organ. In the free States, not
one paper, of any party, had taken ground
against this doctrine—all who spoke had but
ono, opinion. The people had obtained pos
session of the great thought that it would bo
a FRAUD (to copy the Washington Union's
phrase) not to give the majority of Kansas a
right to_ vote_on-tbo - 06AtitUtion of Kansas
and politicians and presses might change, but
the peOplo would stand firm, and hold all who
cowered or deserted to L'a strict accounta
bility. This was the situation of effaita less
than three months ago. Some of the Demo
cratic papers, under tile lash of the Washing
ton Union, did change front at once; but the
great and controlling number nobly rallied to
the pledge and the principle. These latter felt
that they could not eat their own words with
honor, • and they refused to abandon their
ground. This is a plain statement of facts.
Tss PRESS having, under all these circum
stances, raised ifs • standard for Popular Sove
reignty and for the Will of the Majority, did not
fiyllie field. It starida now where It stood in
August; whore the Richmond Examiner stood
in Juno, and where the editor of THE Pans
stood in July.
As to having assailed the Administration
of Mr. BUCHANAN, with or without ccvin
diativenesi," as charged by The South,
we peremptorily deny tho accusation, and
'challenge The South to the proof. The
pages of our paper and its readers aro our .
best witnesses. They answer for us abun
dantly. We have studiously avoided person
alities in this journal, on all subjects, and
especially in regard to the Administration.
If, indeed, we do differ from the President
on this issue, we shall deeply deplore it; but
as our difference,is sincere, it is not necessary
that we should manifest it by personalities, We
adopted our opinions deliberately, in the
conviction that they were in accordance with
the Administration policy, but not because of
14v-biaie4."-thosi,
and if it is so that Mr. BUCHANAN does not
entertain similar opinions, greatly as we rever
ence his character and his example, this fact
will not justify us, to our conscience, and to
the people, in deserting what we have openly
and always advocated.
The worst personal assaults upon Mr. Bo
cumuli and his Cabinet and his Administration,
have come from The South and its allies. The
columns of that paper have boiled over with
the boldest and bitterest editorial and commu
nicated censures of the President and his
policy; and, at this moment, PRYOR delights
In ridicule of some of the nearest and best
friends of the Executive; those acknowledged
to he in his confidence. We disclaim all
desire to imitate the friendship of The South
for the 'Administration.
Nor have we assailed the Southern
people. Not a line—not a word—has ap
peared inyuc Passe, capable of such a con
struction. We have stood by the South
for twenty years. We stand by the South
now is sanctioning her in all her rights; but
we aro not willing to sustain a gross wrong at

sought to be maintained in the name of the
Southern people. < 4 If that be treason, make

ITEMS OF KANSAS NEWS...CALHOUN AT
WESTON, MO.
JOHN CALHOUN made a speech to the pro
slavery men at Weston, ➢Io., on the 4th of
January,-of which we have the following re
port. It agrees with the rdport by telegraph:
This morning, about 11 o'clock, a meeting of the
citizens was called together at the court house, and
General Calhoun uncle a short speech explanatory
of his position, his views, and the kind of action ho
wished, the people of Missouri to take. After
elating that the Democracy had triumphed in Kan
sari, and that the pro-slavery State and Congres
sional ticket were both cleated, which was received
with demonstrations of applause, he wanton to say
that the black Republicans were bent on having an
other civil war, and that himself and his party
wore in peril of their lives in the Territory ; that
Jim Lane and his gang were only waiting for the
merest semblance of an invasion from Missouri to
breakout into open hostilities. The General urged
very strongly the necessity of Missourians keeping
quiet and cool, and that by no means should they
eater Kansas as an armed body of men, for this
would be to play directly into the hands of the
Black Republicans, and do precisely what they
wished to be done, thus giving them an excuse for
another outbreak.' The whole speech, though
short, was cunningly devised, and like Antony's
speech over thosar'l3 body, most admirably cal
culated to create an excitement under the pro
teneo of allaying it; for, after every adjura
tion to "keep cool, and on no account to in
vade Kansas in an armed body, and thus destroy
the very party they were anxious to preserve," be
wont on to say with a most unmistakable empha
sis of Vole° and manner, that "he did not wish to
bo understood to discourage any Missourian who
might wish to go over into Kansas to assist his
friends • on the contrary, ho thought it the duty of
everybody to render every personal assistance in
their power to their Kansas friends, in this hour of
their peril ; hut on'no account ought they to go in
public manner, and thus bring upon their party
the discredit of getting up an invasion." If there
should be another collision between the pro-slavery
and free-State men of Kansas, this delicate insinu
ation will not ho lost, and a great many Missouri
ans will discover • that they have personal friends
in the Territory, who stand in the greatest need of
their personal assistance. The General finished his
speech by saying, that " if the Missourians would
only keopqulet, in a few week:: Kansas would ho
admitted into the Union, and become all that Mis
souri ever hoped or wished, or desired her to be?"

that sufficient returns have been received to indi
oato that the vote on the Lecompton Constitution

In the first plum, I am truly glad to know that
the Democracy of glorious old thuyikill have at

to the Democratic party in many a bard-fought
battle. In the next place, lam glad that Pant
sylvania (lid so nobly at the last election-.4t done

fool minvintod that Kansas will be a "Black
Republican" State—land there is no person
blunt° for it b u t the party that met at Leoompton
to frame a State Constitution. They made a Com
otitution and bad not the manliness to submit it to
the vote if the people.
But why should I write of this Without doubt
you hays soon anti read the instrument for Yank
self. I can tell 'yen, however, that it is vory un
popular with all classes here, and the way they
undertook to Imo a largo vote upelrit—why, all

On Saturday evening there was played at Wheat:
lay's Arch-street Theatre, a new version of a Ernst
plsiy called "Los Pauvree des Paris," which had
so much success at Pads, that Mr. Stirling Coyne,
a London dramatic orate and playmaker,•" adopt
ed" it for the English stage, where it also sno
t coded. In fulness of time, the London version
was transferred to the little theatre—bearing tja
title of "Mora/ looture-room"—at 13arnum's Mu
seum, in New York, and made a third hit. On
this, throwing about forty minutes into it,
so as to change the venue to Now Yoidr,.
Mr. Dion Doureleault (who is popularly believed
to have copyrighted every 0)0 of Shakspeare's
plays) 'pat it In the halals of the property.man,
scone-painter, and performers of Wallack's Thea
tre, and, in duo season, it was brought out eh
"The Poor of New York." After some weeks' de
lay, this piece, or something like It, was acted at
the Circus in Walnut Street, where, though the
performance was so-so, some of the scenery is good„
and the piece has taken. A little later,llr.
Wheatley sets IL J. Conway, a well known dra
;natio workman, to adapt tico English versivn to
elus locality. its has done so, with much tact,
and the first performance of " Fraud and its Vic
tims, or the Poor of Philadelphia," at the Arch
Street Theatre, on Saturday evening, was a most
unequivocal and deserved success.
The acting, by what Mr. Wheatley MA* on.
calling "the entire Star Company," was capital .
Mr. Wheatley, Mr. and Mrs. Davenport, and Mr.
Clarke especially distinguishing thosasei l ves. There
is a great deal of excellent local seenery-4ne of
the beet views showing Aroh street Theatre by
lamplight. The piece is announced to run through
the present week, but will probably be an attrac
tion for a longer limo.
• At the National Theatre (late rho Circus) the
Boureicault adaptation of the above piece, *it,
tinues to bo played.
The show-molo-drama of " The Count do Monto
Christo" has met with considerable success at
Walnut street Theatre, during the past, and Ie to
be continued through the present week. We era
willing, even anxious, to admit the merit of the
leading performers in this drama. Mrs. Conway,
Miss Richings, and Mrs. Bowers, together with Mr,
Conway, Mr. Richings, and Mr. Showell, would
make a good and efficient oast in any play.
Yet, we have not witnessed a single representa
tion of "Monte Cristo." The lessee and stage
manager have to be told why. It is 'simply' best
cause of rudeness " in front of the house,"
perpetrated by underlings, often does scriourtn
twig the interests of , te_ett r elves i . „,„ Nejlestt i m
their mind , cannot be expected to attend the gene
ral run of theatrical performances, ce a matter of
pleasure. They have no inducement * go, at all,
unless they aro treated with courtesy. !l'ho duly
cause tibial we can assign for this bad policy, (tq
fall it by the mildest name,) is that, 'from the
opening of Walnut-street Theatre, by Mrs.
Bowers, leo have uniformly refused to publish, as
our own critical opinion, any of the daily—some
times oven.twice-a-thiy—puffs showered down upon
us with remarkable pertinacity, from that mys
terious department called " The Treasury" of this
Theatre.
We have two things to add, ore we close this un
pleasant subject: First, Mr. Wheatley, of Arab
strat Theatre, has never yet taken the liberty of
sending us out-and-dry notices of his performances;
he has not even requested us to attend on any par
ticular evening, when a new piece was to be play
cd; and, secondly, the next '• Treasury" memoran
dum we, receive, we shall publish in full—announc
ing the impartial source , which may have supplia
it. This applies also to Lectures and Concerts.
Meanwhile, we wish Mrs. Bowers all sucoess, at
Walnut•strcet Theatre, and wiser servants. Thus
last word, by the way, is scarcely correct, as soma
of the parties clearly do not serve liar.
That capital local pantomime, "Harlequin Shoe-
maker," which has had nearly a month's run at
Sanford's, will be played on the four last nights of
the present week, and no longer. This night ant
Tuesday evening, Dan Gardner's burlesque of Mips
Emma Stanley's "Seven Ages of IYelnittf' will lo
performed.
Tho public rehearsal of the Germania Orchestra,
at tho Musical Fund Hall, on Saturday allot-neon,
was very well attended. Tho composers damn
upon were Beethoven, Verdi, Spohr, Strausm,Men
delssoltn, Lannor and Kider MM. These isstru
mental concerts are very attractive, and it Into be
hoped that they will be continued.
Wo can state that the operatic company, sow at
Now York, under Mr. Ulltuan's management, will
othnmence a season of a fortnight's duration tt our
Academy of Music, and will break ground; neat
Friday evening with "Le Barblero do Saline."
So, wo shall hear Carl Formes, sifter all.
With somcodiffieulty wo put a stop to tho , con
slant visitation of these " notices," which, inkeal
ity, wore the broadest and boldest praise, wlthout
stint or limitation, of eortain leading perforators.
We hope that these puffs were not written with the
knowledge or concurrence of the lessee mad the
stage-manager. If we witness a drat:oath) perform
awe, and give a notice of it, the readers of, Tux
Pans s expect the opinion of en impartial critic, qua
lified from experience and judgment. hal nu
opinion - might not arise, it is true, into the hy
perbole of praise disinterestedly sent to up from
" The Treasury," but we euspeet that the public
would pro-for our say on the matter.

at the above place. at which an address would be
made by Rachel Wilson Moore. The hour fixed
was three o'clock in the afternoon. The building
was filled to its utmost capacity before the speaker
commenced her address. and must have contained
at least thirty-five hundred people.
As the occupants of tho lower part of ll,•0 church
could distinguish every person in the broad gal
leries above, the contrast throughout the house,
presented by the gay attire of theM -- not belong

simplicty of the gray garments of the Quakeretzes,
was singular in the extreme The audience was
remarkably quiet Not a sound disturbed the

one of the elders requested Olio ladies •, not be
longing to the Society of Friends" to set a little
more closely. there was heard a highly suggestive
crackling of rattan and whalebone hoops
At a few minutes past three there was no single
foot of unoccupied room in the home. The stran
gers than began casting about in their minds as to
the quarter in which the speaker would present
her-elf Their doubts were solved by the uprising,
from among the female elders of a calm and Sc, i.
ous-looking matron of pethaps forty-fit c, who,
dim sting lieNelf of a shovel hat and furs, proceeded
to speak, in n clear, silvery %eke, that was
distinctly audible in the remotest corner of
the house. Mrs Moore is, in creed, a Unita
rain as was made manifest almost at the instant
of her speaking. She took no text. but hinged the
first part of her discourse upon the miraculous
healing. by " Jesus." at the peel of Bethesda. of
the Impotent man who. for thirty-six year, had
been unable to plunge into the waters when first
troubled by the angel
In treating tier subject, Mrs. Moore took very
decided ground, and gave a rather navel interpre
tation of the scriptural phraseology in which the
touching narrative isexpressed. In the first place
she r epudiated.the idea of all external Miracles,
and declared that no such thing could be. The
whole matter was to be viewed solely as a spiritual
miracle, and in a spiritual light.
The pool of Bethesda was tvpioal of regenera
tion,—that regeneration whichls essential to man's
s alvation. The live porches surrounding it, In
which the invalids awaited the appearance of the
Lord's angel to trouble the waters, were the five
organic senses of the spirit—the spiritual senses
coinciding entirely with the external or bodily
senses. The angel who troubled the waters was
the Spirit of foil, and he upon whose head the
Spirit of God moved. had only to cast himself into
the pool anti emerge from It regenerated—healed,
like the halt and maimed, who are figuratively
spoken of es casting themselves into the troubled
waters of Bethesda, and coming out healed of
their physical maladies.
The speaker devoted some considerable apnea to
showing that till the miracles represented by the
- iecriptures as having been performed by Jesus: ,
were only to be considered as figuratively re
