THE SOUTHERN VIEW OF KANSAS
We are told daily by the advocates of the
minority rule in Kansas, that the moment the
Lecompton fraud is forced through Congress,
(as it must be, if at alli:by Northern Demo
criits,) the people of Kansaicati proceed lin
niethately to supersede it. -We notice, however,
that no such concession is made .by the organs
- Of' the extreme Southern Interest, viz': the
Oharleaton Mercury, the Richmond South,
the Mississippian, the Mobile Register,
On the contrary, theso papers regard the
admisaion' of Kansas under the Oonstitation
alluded to as a practical question—and take
the bold grorind that KanSas is necessary to
the slave States. Vfietegislature of Alabama
have adopted the following resolutions on the
" •
Resolied
. by the Senate and House of _Rept&
sentativer,en General Assembly convened, That
in the event Kansas should apply at the present or
at any future session of Congress for,artnmasion Into
the Uniop as a State, with and under the Constitu ,
tion heretofore framed and Adopted by her, and
Commonlylanown as the Leacrupton Conatitution,
and than be by Congress refused admission, the
Governor of this State is hereby, respectfully In
structed, by prOolamation ' to atsemblo the quail.
fledvoters of this State, at the usual places of
voting in their respective counties, to elect dele
gates to a State Convention, on a day to be by hint
appointed within ninety days from the time when
be shall reoelve eatiebtotory evidonce of such ac
tion by Conress.
2. Be a further Resolved, That the Governor
shall, by has prOotamation, fix a day for the hold
ing of aConvention at the Capitol of the State, not
later than twenty days after the day fixed for such
election.
The Richmond South calls vehemently upon
'Virginia to come forward and take the same
giound; and the Mobile Register says:
The issue presented is one which admits of no
comptomice or collateral determination. At Met
the question is direetl and distinctly presented,
will the Northern ma jority refuse admission to a
State on the ground alone of having slavery in its
Constitution Jai vain will it be attempted to
dodge this issue by the subterfuge of pretending
to oppose the admission of Kansas because of the
non-submission of the Constitution. In vain will
the opponents of the admission seek to disguise the
motive of their .hostillty with the ingenious pre
telt of a senetimonious devotion to the principles
of popular eovereiguty, and the rale of the major
filk •
o mash pretences or excuses will be admitted
or listened to now. The issue 15 whether or not
the existence of slavery as one of its institutions
shall exclude a State' from entering the Confede
racy.- It fatally and fairly made, and gannet be
escaped or avoided. The - people of Kansas, in the
exercise of their,rights under the- Constitution and
the laws, and In strict atwortlanoewith all the legal
mamma of representative sovereignty, have
adopted a Constitution with slavery. They have
.applied' for admission into' the Union. If their
application Is rejected, It will have been dono alone
because of the adoption of slavery.
We sincerely trust there will be no flinching
or hesitation on the pert of our Southern Repre
sentatives in Congress in the eniergeney before us.
[ We hope they will meet the loses with an unbroken
front, - and let it be distinctly understood that the
I admission of Kansas withher present Constitution,
and upon her present application, is the sine qua
I non of the tontinuttnee of the Southern States in
the Contederaoy.
A. Southern writer in
.Di Bow's Weekly
Press exhibits in a striking light the inopera
tive necessity resting upon the South to make
KanSas a slave State. It is declared to be the
necessity arising from self-preservation, and
such as originates the highest law. Take the
following extract from the article referred to,
of the date of January 10, 1858 :
The surrender of Kansas to the operation of
the majority rule, ender the cry of popular sore
reignty in the Territories, without constitutional
warrant, and her absorption by the nonstavehold-
Mg power of the country, would make the evil of
the times no longer prospective, but instant and
imminent.. By the foot of this surrender, the
smith would become inthordinant, and tho North
predominant, in the Union. Never again, in the
Union, could the equilibrium of State sovereign
representation between the South and the North
be either maintained in or restored to the Senate.
Never again, In the Union, could the equality of
the South with the North be either maintained in
or restored to the Home of Repreaentativec No
farther barrier could be construe ta between either
the aggressive territorial or Political rapacity of
the North, and the weakened and diminished
South. No other bulwark eouliphe raised to guard
either the moral or social integrity of the South
against the disrupting and destructive legal and
social systems of the North. The South, like Me
ter bound to the tar of Aehilles, would soon be
drugged by the triumphant North around a ruined
possession, quickly to be followed by the elusive
ploughshare of the invading conqueror.
"The boas of Kansas to the South would involve
the loss of Missouri; and the loss of Missouri
would destroy the moral as well as petition' pres
tige of the South. and invade the integrity of their
institutions. The moral prestige of States, like
that of individuals, once destroyed, no earthly
power can restore ; and the integrity of State
establishments, like the chastity of woman, once
=Mooted to Invasion, continues at the will of the
despoilers With abolitionized lowa stretching
along the northern boundary of Missouri, and alio
litionized SWIM' savoring her western boundary,
whilst there poured into her bosom, through lowa
and•Kansaa,•from the more inhospitable lake and
ntirthern•Ailantie regions, a continuous stream of
;agrarian Yediaals of any and all parties in those
regions, alike determined to obtain control of her
government i and to assert the rule of the majo
rity in the line of emancipation, slave property to
Missouri would become too precarious in its tenure
to be holden. and the tit:vanity for its sale or remo
val would at once arise. It may be confidently
asserted that, under these circumstances, in five
piers, Missouri would cease to be a slaveholding
State. Already, in view of the anticipated result,
allolftton ,ienensla have-been started in 'Missouri,
'and candidates for Congress have unfurled the ban
ner of emancipation.
" Now the loss of Missouri to the South would h
i voile the lesser the Creek and Cherokee domain,
the Choctaw and Chickasaw domain, New Mexico,
and Arizona
_which otherwise could be saved to the
tieveholding interests of the country, and the har
monious equilibrium of the Union. It is known
Olathe Creeks and Cherokees number from thirty
to forty. thousand free - Inhabitants, holding at
least ten thousand negro slaves. The facts as to
the Choetawil and Clucktutaws stand in a similar
ratio. The white man's blood in both rations pre
dOminatts, strongly coloring oath with the white
man's mental forms and expressions. They have
each a regular government, with distinct execu
tive, WOW, and legislative departments, with e
general common-school system, with Christian
churches established in many directions, and
with the Ws of agriculture and Theesllllllt4 con
siderably developed. Each is gradually preparing
to enter theUrtion as a elavehoiding State. But,
with aboittlenifed Kansas and Missouri along their
,nbribern limits, the flood-gates would be thrown
open,throughwhieh the Abolition tide would sweep
with resistless energies, driving before it, or over
whelming in its' deluge, alike the hybrid Indian
and the negro 'slave; thn.s ultimately adding both
domains to the'eoloestd:power 'of the North. New
Mexico and Arizona would now bo thrown between
the' ifree;toil ' States formed out of the territories
of the Creeks, Cherokees, Choctaws; and Chicka
saws, an the east,' tbe free-soil' State of Cali
lonia on the West, and the free' States of Mexico
on the south. Negro slabs property, however
anxiouttly desired, in neither could be bald for a
day, and they, too, would ' lnevitably go to swell
the bestriding power and monstrous proportions of
the-North."
'We direct the attention of the Northern ad
vocates.of foul play in Kansas, and especially
.of (boa° Who tirgeO that the Constitution of
Kansas, which protects and perpetuates ale
'very, can be immediately superseded, to the
manner in which the question is regarded by
the: SoutherO 'organs.' .;
The ;Sptitliern diannionlsta have determined
to make Kansas a slas'e 'State, and, failing in
this, to.seeede; Their Whole scheme looks to
, one or the, other of these alternatives. They
hojayas' at preliminary, to destroy the Demo
craeyof the free States,, by making the Le
conipton .fraud a, tut; and then to say
to the Southern manta, "Behold ! you have no
friends in the irerth • all parties there are
*hi. foes; you have no chance in the Union,
andloc must leltvelt or perish."
• We appeal from these designing men to the
whole people., We invoke the Union sentiment
against them. We call upon such heroes as
IViae, of Virginia; 31Asmino, of South Caro
lina.; Joionsolv; of Tennessee, and others, to
,take ground against these machinations of the
enemies of the Union, before it is too late. If
they 10, they will sweep all these combinations
against the Republic into a common grave, and
entitle themselves to the lasting gratitude of
the 'whole people.
EV"AC allusion to the contest for the Pitts

PUBLIC EN TISIVTA INMENTS•
ACADEMY OF Wm.—Those who failed in at
tendance at the operatic festival of Saturday even
tag lost a treat of no ordinary zest and flavor.
The attraction of a comic opera, produced for the
first occasion. n the musical annals of the city,
seemed not to have been undervalued by the musi
cal public, for the house presented a full array of
beauty and taste despite the canons of operatic
fashion which set down Saturday as a dies non,
'or shall weeny, in these latterdays of ` 0 inatintes,"
a now nee. L'ltaliana in Algieri " was written
by Rossini, if we remember aright, so long ago as
1813, and from the time of its original presentation
to the public it has never missed an appreciative
hearing. The fault of its brevity is fully atoned
for by Its musical and comic effervescence, for wo
can truly declare we could not discover a bar that
was " out," or a passage that was stupid. The
plot to made of vary trifling materials, and, if done
into the ordinary prose of the drama, would be
styled' broad farce." But yet, upon inoideats so
slightly salient, the veteran composer—who 4, still
lives" to enjoy his groat successes—has hung per•
haps an many glorious musical gems as are to he
found in the whole range of comic opera.
A brief outline of the plot we hero subjoin:
Mustajdur, (Gassier,) as Bey ofAlgiers, has an Ori
ental capriciousness of disposition, which, in the
opening scene, betrays itself in open dissatisfac
tion with his wife Eleira, (Mlle. Cairoll,) who com
plains bitterly of her husband's neglect. Alm:ta
p/us, with characteristic nonchalance, determines
to get rid of his wife, and, ter best fulfil his pur
poses, determines to make her marry some one else
—an Italian slave of his, Liddoro, (Labooett4.)
lie communicates his views to his minister, Aly,
(Barattini,) threatening him with early hanging if
he does not assist in carrying out his wishes by
helping hint to a new wife from the Italian prison
ers made booty of by the Algeria° Corsairs. Lin
dero is unwilling to accept the proffered boon of a
wife, as his heart is already attached to some lov
ing fair one in his native land. Mastapluz urges
him most eloquently to yield his scruples, as the
lady he offers him is so full of charms that none
but a heart of marble or ioe could resist them.
Shortly after this telling scene, some Corsairs
arrive in port with a rich freight of Italian cap.
tires, among whom is /sobstia, (M'sne. D'Angri,)
with a friend, Taddeo, (Rocco.) Isabella Is the
belle of Lindero, whom she is in search of at the
time the pirates fell in with her vessel. Finding
herself among strangers, to seem the protection
of Taddeo she passes him off for her uncle. Isa-
bella is brinight by Aly befort; the Bey, on which
occasion that. fuitotionary becomes indignant with
Taddeo, who has accompanied the fair Italian with
the idea of making love to her himself. Taddeo
is subdued to discretion by the prospect of abetter.
Elvira and Lituloro come to take their leave of
the Bey, as they have been ordered to depart the
kingdom.
At this interview Liudoro recognises Isabella,
and by the latter'', intercession, El vi ra and Lin
dero aro allowed to remain. Maseapha, in order
to secure himself a plaoo in the affootions at Isa
bella, confers upon Taddeo the office of "Grand
Kartnakan." This great honor presses upon the
recipient, and he expresses his impressions in a
most amusing strain, commencing 110 rue gran
peso. An interview is again arranged between
the Iley, Isabella, Taddeo, and the rest, and an
understanding is had between the Bey anti Tad
deo, that upon the former's giving a particular
mesas, all present are to retire save Isabella, so
as to permit a eite-ei-tits uninterrupted. The Ira•
portant sneeze is given, but none take the hint,
and the loving Mustaplat is forced to put up with
a sore disappointment. The scene is remarkable
for its merriment, and naturally enough it mule a
telling bit upon the audience. This terminates
the first not.
A plan is finally arranged by which the old Bey
is completely outwitted. Isabella apparently
agrees to love Mustapha, and Lynlora who ants,
of course, as her confidant, communicates this
piece of good news to the Bey, who is all eagerness
to have the happy hour approach when be may
call Isabella his own. Meanwhile, a vessel ar
rives from Italy; the passengera prove to bo the
friends of Isabella. The latter arranges a plan of
escape with them. To keep the Bey bamboozled,
Isabella announces to the ardent Nrestapha that,
as a preliminary step to crowning him with her
affection she must, as a return for the great honors
heaped upon her " uncle" (Taddeo,) Insist that he
(the Boy) shall be invested with all the rights and
title of " Papataci."
She proposes to perform the ceremony of "in
vestiture," and in due course the Bey, with all
his train, with Isabella, Tadtleo, and Lindero,
appear on the scene which represents a sea-coast,
with the vessel of the Italians In the offing. An
irresistibly-comic passage of drollery ensues. The
Bey Is made to keep perfect silence, as part of the
ritual of the ceremonies; he is made to goat him
self at a table, his back turned towards the chore,
while the attendants crowd the table with good
cheer. During the excitement of those ceremonies,
Taddeo, and Lindoro escape by the aid
of their newly-arrived Italian friends, while the
unsuspecting Bey has no idea of the clover trick
that is put upon him. He is left with his wife on
hie band.

This evening, Mozart's best opera, "Don Gio

least to the terrible. The cast is remarkably
strong, including Mesdames De Lagrange, D'An

Gassier, Ardavani, and Labocetta. This ought to
be the most successful of all the performances yet
given by the present company.

[Correspondents of The Press
Wein:germ Jan. 31,108.
Of late years the abuse of deficiency appropria
tion bills has been growing Into huge proportions.
The.discussion in the hoots on Friday last on the
printing bill, which appropriates nearly a million
of dollars to supply delete:lees in appropriations
heretofore made, and which at•the time were ehti.
mated and recommended to be suillolont for tho
purposes designed, has exposed some of the locate
tione and faulty legislation of recent Congresses.
But this Is only one item in the system. The
whole deficiency appropriations, unless where they
are made necessary by extraordinary dream.
stems weal could not be foreseen by human sa
gacity, should be done away with, and this desira
ble result, I learn, the Committee of Ways and
Means, which wields a vast power, for good or
evil, in the House, are determined to accomplish.
The first deficiency appropriation is to be found
in the general appropriation bill, approved the 2341
ofDecernber, 1701, and "for making good deft-
Mendes in the last appropriations for the compen
sation of sundry officers of the civil list," it ap
propriates the sum of $5,411. In after years
these delleloney appropriations have gone on, at
first very small in amount, until now, at each
session, a defioleney bill is brought in as regularly
as any other general appropriation bills. Ex
eluding the printing deficionoies, the deficiency
bill for the present fiscal year, Atoll swill expire
June 30th, proximo, appropriates the large /gm of
ten millions of dollars
The conclusion fa Inevitable, that either the es
timates submitted for tho expenditures of Govern.
scent have been carelessly made out by the proper
executive officers in previous Administrations, or
that the Committees of Ways and Means in pre
vious Congresses have not bean searching in their
investigation, and mutate in their action in re
spect to these appropriations. The Committees of
Wept and Means, I am twinned to believe, are
rather to he commended than otherwise, for they
have. its I know, uniformly opposed amend:Ns:te
te bills which, while appropriating small elms for
Inquiring into the expedienoy of doing certain
things, ho,, 10., served as enteriog-wedges fur
millions.
Five thousand dollars Is voted for ascertaining
the practicability of doing a .certain thing, and
upon WS contrite/ are entered into for hundreds
of thousands, This is the ease of expenditures
which swell up these deficiency bills, and a class
of expenditures which aro in violation of the.spirit
of the Constitution.
It is stated that the present House will sustain
the present Committee of Ways and Means in
holding executive officers to a strict accounta
bility to the law, and establish it as a rigid rule
that expenditures shall be made only for tha ob.
jests noted in the law; and, when they have been
exhausted, work must cease until the further ne
cessary appropriations are made.
There Is no more popular oharaoteristio of the
Demooratic party than its approval of an econo
mical administration of the Government—that the
public money shall be expended only for necessary
objects of Government and national importance,
and for these only to the extent demanded. No
man has insisted upon this with greater fervor
than Mr. Buchanan, and the hope is entertained
that his clear judgment and excellent statesman
ship will guide our old ship of State safely through
the present financial embarrassments, of whatever
character, and bring her officers and crew under
the discipline taught and practised by Jefferson
and the other great pilots of the party.
Hone. James B. Clay of Kentucky, John B
'Raskin of New York, and William L. Hewett of
Pennsylvania, after a consultation of Demooratio
- members, have been selected as a committee to
wait upon the President to-morrow (Monday), sad
inform him that the Northern Democrats, with a
few exceptions, are opposed to the admission of
Kansas into the Union, as a State, under the Le
compton contrivance of Calhoun and others, which
has just reached here in an official form.
The President has had his message prepared and
ready for transmission to Congress for more than
a weak, but it may be that tho unmistakeable
signs given by members of the Rouse of Repro.
sentatives will change the programme which has
been marked out. It cannot bo known what will
be the termination of the Interview between those
Democrats and the chief of a Democratic Adminis
tration. However, it Is a step which is looked
upon as loading to beneficial results. At least,
good and fair men cannot but hope ft will
It was trumpeted with a tremendous flourish by
Senator Green and the Washington Union that
members of the Lecompton Convention had writ
ten a letter wherein they controverted the declar
ation of Governor Walker and Secretary Stanton,
that nineteen of the thirty-four counties in Kan
sas had been disfranchised, and wherein they
showed that four of the nineteen refused to hae`e
an aesesdment taken, and the refuelling fifteen
were annexed to and voted with other counties.
This is so glaring a fabrication that those roust be
stupid who can bo Imposed on by it.
It is as well to state that those aro all free-
State counties. Even If the sheriftdld not take an
assesenient, it was, muter the law, the duty of the
probate judge to discharge that duty, and In case
of his failure, the duty of the Governor. Dut
there is not a particle of proof that those four coun
ties refused to vote, and without a registry they
could not vote. So with the fifteen counties said
to be annexed to other counties.
For representative districts they may have been
so annexed; but then it is a fact not disputed, and
indisputable, that no registry of votes was made,
and that no man could vote whose name was not
shown upon the registry.
At the October election, the four counties re
ferred to cast more votes than were represented by
the entire Lecomyten Convention.
It cannot be denied that the Lecompton Consti
tution was vitiated from Its birth, and the fraud
with which in Oxford, MoGhee, and Shawnee, it.
has been nourished into a sickly existence, pro
- raises it but a short life—a life the days of which
are now near spent.
The succession for the Pittsburgh post office is
not yet fixed upon. The canvass for it is warmer
than ever, if possible, and just now Barr, of the

Democrat, deems to be going ahead in the race.
N. Y.
The Proposed Consolidation of the Elopreme
tonrt—A new Liquor MIL
feorreepondence of The Prem.)
In a former letter I noticed that the subject of
oonoolidnting the different districts of the Supreme
Court was engaging the attention of both branches
of the Legislature. lu the Senate a bill has been
Introduced, by Judge Bell, to consolidate at Phi/a
dolphin and Pittsburgh, abolishing the middle and
northern districts; in the House, Judge till, a
similar bill to consolidate the court at Harrisburg.
It will be thus men the subject is in the hands
of gentlemen thoroughly conversant with it in all
its details. Judge Bell wan himself, for a number
of years, a member of the court, and bee had full
emus:Wane of the disadvantages and inconvenience
of the present system. Judge Nill is a lawyer of
largo practice In hie profession, and understands
the matter fully in all its ramifications. It Is very
evident that thelatter plan is the only ono that will
remedy existing evils, and give satisfaction to all
sections of the Commonwealth. To locate the court
in either the eastern or western end of the elate
would ho unjust, or at least the cause of loud com
plaints from thelegal gentlemen of " the interior,"
causing them to travel in the one case or the other
to the extreme eastern or western verge.
To alternate between is to continue all, or the
greater part, of the Inconvenience of the present
system, Every argument in favor of such a course,
I take it, would apply with equal foroo and pro
priety to the sessions of the Legislature. When
the present system was adopted, it was pethelle
entirely proper and right. The means of tra
velling was in stage coaches and on horseback,
through a new country and over wretched roads ;
and a journey (rain Pittsburgh or Erie to the
capital of the State and bank occupied weeks.
The mane numbed distant county cants once a
week, and, if the weather was inclement or rondo
bad, once a month. Magnetic telegraphs were in

five to seven hundred. Now the capital can be
reached from the remotest part of the Mato in less
than a day, inn comfortable railroad cur, and oats
communicate by telegraph every hour.
Then the court sat for arguments three or four
months in the year, and afterwards the judges re
turned home to their fire-sides end libraries, and
devoted the vacations to re-examining the cases,
and writing out at their leisure, and with the
light of the authorities before them, their opinions.
Now they are compelled to write nearly all their
opinions in terns time—between two days' court—

It le surprising, indeed, that we should have as
much uniformity in our law as there is, under a
system so unfavorable and a court so constantly
changing. All admit that the highest talent and
best legal ability is required in that court; but it
must be apparent that under the present system,
which ostracises a man from his family and sends
him, like a vagrant, wandering up and down and
over the State, that each mon can be kept in the
position only long enough to enable them to get

Mr. Noepp, of Northampton, will shortly pre
sent a. new license act fur the consideration of the
Legislature. It contains substantially the follow
ing few and simple provisions: Licenses are to be
granted to all persons who may apply for them,
and may be willing to pay for them, and in the
wise of tavern-keepers or persons licensed to sell
by less measure than a quart, may file a bond eon
aft/oiled for the preservation of good order in their
houses. Three kinds of licensee are established :
the firat for tavern and restaurant keepers; the
second for liquor dealers: and the third for broworn
and distillers selling their own manufacture, but
brewers and distillers may take out tavern
keepers' licenses if they choose. Tavern-keepers
(or persons selling by less than one quart) are to
pay as follows
When the annual males exceed 840,000, $3OO ,
when they are between 520,000 and $lO,OOO, $l5O ;
between $lO,OOO and $20,000, $75; between $5,000
and $lO,OOO, $5O ; and under $5,000, $25. Thosa
rates aro the same as thoso Axed in Mr. Ramsay's
bill for Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, except that
the minimum there is $3O instead of 825. Liquor
dealers (or persons selling by the quart and up
wards) to pay as provided in the act of 4th May,
1811, section 10, which continued in force until re
pealed by IMP "Jug law" of 1855. Brewers and
distillers to pay as provided by the act of loth
April, 1849, notion 32, which was the law regula
ting their sales until the passage of the mute "Jug
law."
The machinery for assessing the sums to be paid
and Issuing the licenses is thin: The appraiser of
mercantile taxes is to assess all persons engaged in
the business, or who may inform him of their in
tention to engage In it, and to elasalfy theca /w
-ording to the rates speeibcd, subject to an appeal
to the judges of the Common Pleas, just as in the
ease of mordants, The list of tavern-keepers,
liquor dealers, and brewers and distillers thus
made out, is to be furnished to the county tree
'eurer by the first Monday in September, where
upon he shall issue the licensee, upon payment of
the price assessed and his feos, end, in the ease of
tavern-keepers, upon the deliver., to him of a bond
in IMO, with surety to be approved by him, con
ditioned for the maintenance of good order, &0.,
the bond to be flied in the oflioe of the Court of
Quarter Sessions,
Thie, with the 'Within, of penaltion fora viola
Lion of Ito provisions, Is the whole not. It carries
out the principle of throwing open the trade to
competition, excluding all epeoial homes, and all
restrictions upon the number of Seams granted,
and It provides what is supposed to be a simple,
familiar, and cheap mode of messing and eolleet
ing the rates. As under it every man can obtain
a lloenee ; it is believed that all inducement to
Illicit sake, and all popular sympathy with un
licensed sellers, (always the class most dangerous
and injurious to public morale,) will cow, and
that both the revenue of the State and the social
condition of the people VI i I bo greatly improved
by its operation.
Mr. Goepp is one of the most olear-headed, able,
and practical lawyers in the House, and we have
great hopes that this bill, which ho hni carefully
drawn up, will answer the end for which it was
designed.

Me.. bitten: You will oblige by permitting
a member of the Historical Society to metre the
following comments upon the article which ap
peared In your Saturday's issue. We understand
the librarian of that Society appointed twenty
five gentlemen as a'• committee of arrangement,"
and Hofer es these gentlemen are concerned the
public have no cause of complaint, for it was un•
doubtedly understood by each and all of them that
their names were merely to be used to give eclat
to the proceeding, and in return to receive from
the complaisant librarian twenty tickets each, for
the best seats in the house, to be distributed among
their friends, and a complimentary ticket for a
conspicuous seat upon the stage.
Some tiokets were printed Address one ash
ington by Edward Everett—Committee ticket,
seat on the stage;" those were disposed of to the
committee and the friends of the Librarian; other
tickets were issued "Grand Bullet," with cheeks
for reserved seats in the parquette, pareuette cir
cle and balcony, and these were also privately
disposed of; other tickets agnin "German Opera,"
entitling the bottlers to the some privileges, were
issued. Those tickets were all disposed of, except
what are now being sold by the librarian, prior to
Friday morning, at which time it was announced to
the public and to the members of the society that
the sale of tickets would commence—to the puLlic
at the bookstores at 0 o'clock, and to the members
of the society at 12 o'clock at the Ball.
At that hour the public were Informed at the
stores that All the tickets were disposed of, and the
members of the soraely wore sold, by the libra
rian at the hall, tickets No. 4, marked "Grand
Ballet," without cheeks, entitling, as it now ap
pears, the members end their families to seats in
the galleries, if they could manage to find seats
there. These tickets wore dealt out in batches of
two, ten, twenty, at the will of the gentleman nho
has assumed to himself the arrangement
Very large numbers of these tickets were sold,
and the purchasers were given to understand that
no seats had been reserved in the house, but that
each ono would be entitled to preference according
to the Urns he would enter the building. The
public and the members wore suffered to remain
in this ignorance until the rumors and open
charges of deceit mud fraud, forced out the fact
that all the seats in the house had been privately
disposed of.
It is a matter of the utmost regret that such a
proceeding should ever have occurred in this city,
more especially so in connection with the noble
object entertained by the distinguished lecturer.
The Historleaf Society should not suffer this
odium to rest upon it. Beyond the librarian, who
is a salaried officer of the society, no officer or
active member has had any connection with them
disgraceful proceedings ; and we have no doubt the
society will, at the earliest opportunity, take such
action as will place, it in its true and proper posi.
tion before the community. xxx

.From the National Intelligencer J
Having boon recently removed from the office or
Secretary of linnets Territory, under eiroumstan-
Cod which imply severe censure on the pert of the
Preddent, and hevieg had no 011ie1.,l information
of my removal, nor any opportunity for explana
tion or defence ' I have deemed it necessary to pre
sent to the People of the United States a brief
statement of foots in vindication of my motives
and in explanation of tho results of the act for
which I have been condemned.
The °thee in question wns nut given at tny solici
tation. My acceptance of it, under all the circum
stances, was a proof of strong friendship for the
President, and of unbounded oonfidence in the
firmness and fditbfulness with which he would ad
here to the line of policy deliberately agreed upon
botwoon him, his whole Cabinet, and Governor
Walker,
On my arrival In the Territory In April lag,
in advaime of governor Walker, I confess that I
had an imperfect knowledge of the real condition
of affitirs. I supposed the question of slavery to
be the only cause of dimension and difficulty among
the people; and in my brief inaugural address of
the ]7th April, I treated this AS the chief subject
of dttforence upon which a submission to the pee.
pie would be likely to be demanded. I Boon found,
however, that this view Wee altogether toe limited,
and did not reach the true grqund of controversy.
The great mass of the inhabitants of the Territory
were distuttisned with the local government, and
earnestly denied the validity of•the existing laws.
Asserting that the previous Legislatures had
been forced upon them by the fraud and violence
of a neighboring people, they proclairried,their
determination never to submit to the enactments
of legiantivo bodies thus believed to be illegiti
mate and not entitled to übedienoe.
Thie was the condition of things when Gov.
Walker came to the Territory in the latter part of
May. It wits evident that the justixdiey of per
mitting the people to regulate their own affairs
could not be successfully carried out. unless they
could he inspired with confidence in the agents of
Government through whom this result was to be
effected. If a more minority of the people had
been thus dissatisfied and oontuinactous, they
might possibly have been pronounced factious and
treated its dieturbers of the peace ; but when the
dissatisfaction wee general, comprising uhuost the
whole people, a more respectful consideration was
indiepeneable to a peaceable adjustment. It was evi
dent that the policy of repression---a rigid attempt to
enforce eubtoiselon without an effort at cencilla
tion—would inevitably result in a renewal of the
civil war. With commendable anxiety to avoid
this contingency, Our. Walker resolved to go
among the people, to listen to their complaint, to
give them assurance of a fair and just admintstra
tion of the Territorial Government, and to induce
them, if possible, to abandon their hostility, and
to enter upon the peaceful but deeleive struggle of
the ballot-box. I wee often with the Governor
when he addressed the people, and gave my best
efforts in aid of the great purpose of conciliation.
It was too late to induce the people to go into the
June election for delegates to the Convention.
The registration required by law had been im
perfect in all the counties, and had been wholly
omitted in one-half of them ; nor could the people
of these' disfranchised counties vote in any ad
jocent county, as hue been felinity suggested.
In such of them 48 subsequently took a moue
or registry of their own, the delegates chosen
were not admitted to seats in the Convention.
Nevertheless, it is not to be denied that the great
mantral feet, which controlled the whole ease, was
the utter want of confidence by the people in the
whole machinery of the Territorial Government.
They alleged that the local officers, in all instances,
were unscrupulous partisans, who had pearl
musty defrauded them in the elections, and who
were ready to repeat the name outrages again;
that, even if intruders from abroad should not be
permitted to overpower them, they would be
cheated by false returns, which it would not be
possible for the Governor and Secretary to defeat.
Although at that time these apprehension!' !teemed
to me to be preposterous and unfounded, it wee
impossible to deny the earnestness and sincerity
with whirls they were urged, or to doubt that
they were the result of deep convictions, having
their origin in eome previotte experience of that
nature.
Tho worst portion of a small minority in Kansas,
who had possession of the Territorial organization,
loudly and bitterly complained of Goy. Walker's
policy of conciliation, and demanded the opposite
policy of repression. And when, under the solemn
assurances given that the elections should be fairly
conducted, and no frauds which we could reach be
countenanced or tolerated, it bad become apparent
that the mass of the people were prepared and de•
!ermined to participate in the October elections,
the minority endeavored to defeat the result by re
viving the tax qualification for electors, which bad
boon repealed by thepreviousLegislaante, Opinions
were obtained front high legal sources, the effect of
which, had they prevailed, would have been to ex
elude the mass of the people from voting, to retain
the oontrol in the hands of the minority, and, as a
conserinence, to keep up agitation and to render
civil wee Inevitable. Bat the intrepid resolution
of Goy. Walker, in spite of fierce opposition end
denunciation, far and near, carried him through
this dangerous crisis, and he had the proud satis
faction of having achieved a peaceful triumph, by
inducing the people to submit to the arbitrament
of the ballot-box.
But the minority were determined not to submit
to defeat. The populous county of Douglas bad
been attached to the border county of Johnson,
with a large and controlling representation in the
Legislature. The celebrated Oxford fraud was
bperpetrated with a view to obtain majorities in
oth houses of the Assembly. When these
returns were received at my office, in Governor
Walker'a absence. I had fully determined not to
give certificates based open them, If they bail
been so Pineal and correct as to have made it my
duty to certify them, I would have resigned my
office in order to testify my seers of the enor
mity of the wrong. Governor Walker, at Leaven
worth. had formed the seine resolution, as be
stated to um and Si, several others, and we were
both gratified that we found the papers so imper
fect as to make it our duty to reject them. Great
excitement followed in the Territory The minority
thus righteously defeated in the effort to prolong
their power, became fierce in opposition, and re
sorted to every means of intimidation. But I am
led to belies e that they found their meet effectual
moans of operation by undermining us with the
Administration at Washington.
The Constitutional Convention, which had ad-
journed over until after the October election, met
again in Lecompton to resume its labors' Many
of the members of that body were bitterly hostile
to the Governor and Secretary, on account of their
rejection of the Oxford and McGee frauds, in
which come of the members and elheers of the Con
vention had a direct participation. In fact, this
body, with some honorable exceptions, well rope
sented the minority party in the Territory, and
were fully imbued with the Caine spirit and de.
Cigna. It was obviously not their desire to secure
to the real people of Kansas the control of their
owe affairs. In the Constitution soon after•
wards adopted they endeavored to super
cede the Legi.laturo which Tod been elected by
the people, by providing, in the second seetion of
the schedule, that ,• all laws now of force to the
Territory shell continuo to be of force until alter
ed, amended. or repealed by a Legislators under
the provisions of this Constitution " They pro
vided still more effectually, as they supposed, for
the perpetuation of their minority Government,
by adopting the Oxford fraud on the basis of their
apportionment, giving a groat preponderance of
representation to the counties on the Miesouri bor
der. and affording, at tbo same time, every pos
sible facility for the introduction of spurious
votes. The l'teAtlent of the Com cation was
clothed with unlimited power in conducting
the elections and leech ing the returns. while
the officers are not required to take the mull oath
to secure fair and honest dealing The elections
were hurried on in midwinter —the list of Decem
ber and the 4th of January—when emigrants could
cone only from the immediate borders, under the
qualification which invited to the ballot-box every
white male inhabitant "in the Territory on 'that
day." The same nien wbo did this had previously
denounced (taverner Welker for the suggestion in
his inaugural aildre , s, and in his Topeka speech,
that the Constitution should be submitted to all the
tong fide inhabitants, although he invariably
stated, when asked fir explanation. that some rea•
,onable length of residence ought to be required as
ideneo of the hour,, characterof inhabitanos.
It was apparent that all the maelunary had been
artfully prepared for a repetition of gross frauds,
similar to those which had been attempted in Oc
tober • and it was in view of all these facts, arter
the adjournment of the Convention, that the pert
ple of the Territory, by an almost unanimoue de
mand, celled upon me, as the acting Governor, to
convene an extra session of the Legislature, in
order to enable them peaceably to protect them
selves against the wrongs evidently contemplated
by the adoption of this Constitution. There was
no law to punish frauds in election returns. The
people were intensely excited ; and it was the
opinion of the coolest men in the Territory that,
without a call of the Legisleture, the elections
under the Constitution could not have taken plsoe
without collision and. bloodshed. The meeting of
the Legbdature diverted the attention of the peo
ple from the schemes of %bibelot, upon which they
were brooding. substituted the exititement of de
bate and lON mitigation fur that of tierce and \Nut
like hatred, and enabled their representatives to
devise means for counteracting the wrong.; which
they justly apprehended.
Recent events have shown that their appreben
eiona were well founded. Enormous [ramie have
been perpetrated at the precincts of Oxford, Shaw
nee, and liitkapeo; and it may well be believed
that this result was actually designed by the art
ful !Were who &steed the plan and framoirork of
the Lecornpton Constitution I have lately been
at Shawnee, and I have seen and eonveraed with
persons who were at Oxford on the day et election.
The (rends oommitterl are notorious; end though
dishonest per.ons may deny them, and may fill the
chunnols of public information with shameless re
presentations to the contrary. they can be easily
established beyond all controversy.
It WWI to enable the people to shield themielvoit
from these frauds, and to give legal expression to
their hatred and rejection of the instrument which
permitted theta, and was to be carried by them,
that Icelted the. Legislature together.
In my judgment, the people had a fele claim to
be heard on this subject through their Legislature
The organic net confided to mo the discretion of
convening that body in extra session. The Prod.
dont of the United Stntee bad no rightful authority
to exercise that discretion for me. Ile bad the
power of retrieval, and mob ountrol as that power
gives him Ent I would cheerfully have sabinitteil
to removal, and consequent loss of favor with the '
President, rather than occupy the pesition of Gover
nor and refuse to the people en opportunity to n.l
- their Most essential rights, end to protect
themselves against the basest frauds and w range
ever attempted upon an outraged community.
Not having been informed of tea grounds or my
removal, I know them only through the newspaper
reports, to the effect that, in calling the tiegtale,
tore. I disobeyed Gm instructions of the President.
I had no instillations bearing on the subject. and
theta was no time to obtain them, even if I had
felt bound to substitute the President's will for
that disaretion which the organic ent, confided to
too Tho convening of the Legislature undoubt
edly pre% onted difficulty and secured retire Were
It important, I am con6dent I could otablish this
position by the most indubitable facts; hut it is
sufficient now to say that tho peace of the Terri
tory was not in foot disturbed, and whatever
approaches were made towards such a result wets
wholly attributable to the policy of tho Adminis
tration In censuring my :tots and removing me
from office.
'The measure for which I have been unjustly
oonderoned has enabled the people of Kansas to
make known their real will in regard to the La
oomph-in Constitution, This affords the Deworratio
party on opportunity to defend the true principles
of constitutional liberty, and to ease Itself front
disastrous division and utter overthrow. If Con•
gress will heed the voice of the people and rot
force upon them a (love/meat whloh they have
rejected by a vote of four to one, the whole COUTI•
try will be satisfied, and KeltAlle will quietly set•
the tier own lath/ without the least (1101oulty, an I
without any danger to the Confederacy. The
Southern States, which are supposed to have a
deep interest in the matter, will be saved from the
supreme folly of standing up in defence ors , " wicked
and dishonest s contrivance as the Leeorapton
Constitution. The metal power of their position
will not bes 'maimed by a vain and 1111001.3 de-
fence of wrong, wbou it It perfectly certain they 1
will gain nothing even by success in the present
attempt
The extra session of the Kansas Legislature has
done good, also, by giving means to expose and
punish the monstrous frauds which have been per.
petratcd, and doubtless, also. by preventing
others which would have been attempted It has
driven the guilty miscreants engaged in them to
become fugitives from justice, and has rendered it
impossible for the peace of the Territory hereafter
to be endangered by similar occurrences.
In view of these fasts and results, I willingly
accept the rebuke cooveved in my peremptory dis
missal from office, but I appeal to the deliberate
judgment of the people to determine whether I
have not chosen the only honorable course which
the oirourastances allowed ma to pursue.
