The Consistency of the Monroe Democrat
In looking over the Democrat of De
comber 3d we Gnd for once, it arrayed in
tbe cause of humanity and justice. I
even went so far as to condemn the action
of the Kansas Constitutional Convention
which originated in violence aud fraud
and was established by injustice. The
Democrat in substance said : Wc were
led to believe, aud on our faith we helped
to lead others to believe that the members
of the Constitutional Convention would
continually keep in view the doctrine o
popular sovereignty, as promulgated in
tbe Kansas Nebraska bill ; and that they
'would act honorably and without partial
ity to any of the sentiments which have
heretofore divided and distracted the
Territory. But we were deceived our
selves and in turn have involuntarily aid
cd in deceiving our neighbors. So far
7
as the Convention acted it made itself a
complete clap-trap of slavery interests
and had only regard for tbe wishes of a
small minority in the Territory. Instead
-of regarding the popular will, they seem to
have spent their time in devising a way
by which they might cheat the majority
and lc-t tbe minority rule. This action
belies all their own pledges, and all the
pledges of the whole democracy. The
Democrat consoles himself however, that
their action is not a finality ; and that
their work has yet to pass the ordeal of
an examination and approval by Congress,
and hopes that that body will teach those
tampcrcrs with the rights of the people
that "popular sovereignty" docs not mean
playing into the hands of the south, as a
party, nor of the north, but that it means
giving the bona Gde residents of the Ter
ricory, a (air and impartial hearing, in
the formation of the fundamental law of
the State. This the Democracy of the
country stands pledged to, and this Con
gress should'insist upon. The Democrat
states that he had not seen the Lecomp
ton Constitution, but he says, let its pro
visions be ever so fair and perfect, tbe
fact that it is not to be submitted to
tbe people for their acceptance or rejec
tion, is enough of itself to condemn it.
In the formation of a State there never
has been so high-banded an attempt made
by the few to force a constitution upon
the many; and the attempt should not be
submitted to in this instance, and we hope
it will not be. After considerable more
in the same tenor of denunciation, he
winds op by calling upon Congress, and
particularly tbe Pennsylvania delegation
in that body, to vote unanimously agains
the Lecompton Constitution, when it shal
be offered for their acceptance or rejec
tion. To all of which we say amen!
This would be in pecfect harmony with
the pledges of the Democratic party, and
is all that the Republicans atk for. But
extraordinary as it is, we find President
Buchanan iu his first annual Message to
Congress, arguing that the action of the
Lvcompton Convention is legal and right,
and in harmony with 31 r. Douglas' Kansas
Nebraska bill, Mr. Buchanan states that
the Kansas Nebraska bill only gave to the
people the right to say whether they would
have slavery in the State or not, and that
that was to be determined by submitting
that clause of tbe constitution to tbe peo
pie for their approval or rejection. Mr
Douglas, the father of that bill, states that
it means, and was intended to mean, tbe
whole of the constitution, 8fr that the peo
pie might indeed, regulate the whole of
their domestic institutions in their own
way not slavery alone. Here Mr. Doug
las, Forneyr and a goodly portion of the
Northern. Democracy are arrayed against
the President Kansas policy.
Immediately after the President's Mcs
cage had been issued the Monroe Dcmorat
found itself in opposition to the Kansas
policy of the President. He being acta
ated by a few loavc and 0hcs more than
by the true principles of Democracy and
justice, immediately drops the issue, and
says be did not ean it. Or in other
word?, -had forgotten) that be could not
peak for himself or give utterance to bis
honest impulses, but that he most give
publicity to the views of an other party,
and none ot&err-a-xd. eall them all right,
even if tbej arc as bitter and detestable
&s d utch pills, and all this in order to save
a small slice of the public plunder.
But hear him, in the Democrat of the
24th iuFtant.
"We shall rejoice over the epeedy ad
mission of Kansas ijnto the-Union, as that
veat alone can allay the unpleasant ex
citement produced by the calculations and
speculations of the black Republicans'.
.'
Wait gentlemen till the Lecompton Con
stitution comes along. Wait rill it is .seen
Mwhoiarc. the people of Kansas, and what
She j really ant, and bow their withe?!
aro legally expressed. If the members of
the Lecompton Convention were objec
tionable, the fault rests with the free-state
men themselves. VVny did they reluse
to participate in tbe election of these del
egates? It appears to us that that body
could not have passed a constitution to
suit thoce who previously boasted that
they would disregard tho action of the
convention, and hence the opposition are
not entitled to our sympathy.
So says the very impressible man of
the Democrat after having consulted his
democratic spiritual adviser. This is a
conversion as sudden and perfect as that
of Saul of Tarsus. Thus decctids the
Democrat from the ju.t and maoly posi
tion which he occupied December the 3d,
to the low petti-fojging, untenable and
ridiculous position which he now occu
pies.

sen William Hiester, of Berks county, as
Secretary of State. As both branches of
the Legislature are strongly Democratic,
there will be no difficulty in organization.
Nebraska Legirlature.
The Upper Hon"e of this body effected
an organization on the 8tb inst., by elect
ing Dr. George W. Miller of Douglas
County, Presideut; Washburn Safford of
Oteo County, First Clerk; Samuel H.E1

J. n. Decker, of Nebraska City, Speaker
of the House; S. Curran, First Clerk; Ro
bert H. Howard, of Daootab, Second

The Banks of the State.
The annual statement of tbe Banks of
Pennsylvania, as made to tbe Auditor
General, exhibits that on tbe first of No
vember last, the aggregate circulation was
$11,432,363.99; tbe amount of deposits
S16,421,539.97; and of specie 84,463,
916.81 about one-sixth of the immedi
ate liabilities. Tbe city banks show a
quantity of coin nearly equal to the cir
oulation, while in the country they can
show scarcely one-fourth. The deposits
in the city banks are nearly three times the
amount held by the whole of the country
banks. It is considered a settled thing,
we believe, that they will all resume spe
cie payment at the time fixed by law, in
April next.

A letter haB been published in tho city
papers from Thomas Allibonc, lato Pres
ident of tbe Pennsylvania Bank, who is
now in Paris. This letter is addressed
to hi? brother, who first apprised him of
the charges made against him, since bis
absence, of being a defaulter to the insti
tution over which he presided. Mr. Al
libono expresses surprise that the allega
tions which have recently appeared should
not havo becd made previous to his loav
ing this country, especially as opportuni
ties were abuudant, and bis departure was
known to all connected with tho bank.

South Third Street, Philadelphia.
Gen William Walker arrived in this
city last evening, as a prisoner, in charge
of United States officers. He was arres
ted with his men on tho 7th inst., at Pun
ta Arenas, by Com. Paulding, who took
possession of him and his men as pirates
and outlaws. The men have been sent
to Norfolk, and Walker is to be handed
over to the Federal Courts to be dealt with
according to law. His previous experi
ence under similar circumstances justifies
tbe belief that bo will escape without any
punishment whatever. Some fifty of his
men still remain in Central America, un
der Col. Anderson. This force was lan
ded from tho Fashion at the mouth of the
Colorado, and proceeding up tbe river,
made themselves masters of the fort at
Castillo Rapids and the river boats; there
they still remain waiting for reinforce
ments, which are not likely soon to reach
them.
With this event Walker's career as a
filibuster leader is probably ended;though
wo must say that such an end by no means
does justice to the cruel, sanguinary and
ruffianly character which he has exhibited
ihroughout. His opportunities have been
limited but it would be difficult to find in
history a more heartless and inhuman vil
lain. His abilities, however, do cot keep
pace with his ambition; and the junta of
Southern propngandists who sent him out
on tbe present expedition long ago deter
mined to deprive bim of all real power,
and to give tbe actual control of their en
terprise to Gen.Hennignsen. That person
age is understood to have been at Washing
ton for some time past endeavoring to ob
tain the consent of the Administration to
his departure from Mobile with a force
of 1,000 men. In this endeavor he is
sustained by very powerful influences.
The Slavery propaganda, having lost
Kansas, naturally stretches out its greedy
hands to grasp tbe rich tropical regions
of Central America. The breaking up
of Walker's camp at Punta Arenas is a
check upon their design; but wo may be
sure that it is not a design which they
will soon or easily be induoed to abandon.

Walker Shedding Tears.
Our Aspinwall correspondent states
it is reported that Walker shed tears
when he bauled down bis flag on surren
dering to tho United States forces. He
states, further, that tbe captain of the
lirunswick expressed bis intention of dis
lodging Walker if tho United States
Commodore did not do so. and that Wal
ker and his men had resolved to fiebt to

ish though they bad determined to yield
to iuu uuueu otaies auiuorities. a mine
waalaid with all the spare ammunition, and
the British were to have been blown to e-
ternity. Walker was well provisioned,
and bad plenty of munitions of war. A-
mong the prisoners brought down the riv
er on the steamer were two deserters, who
would nave been shot had not Walker
been compelled to surrender.

From Washington.
Washington, Monday, Dec. 28, 1857.
Tho War Department to-day received
official dispatches from the headquarters
of the army of Utah, dated Black Fork,
three miles below tbe mouth or Jiaras
Pork. Nov. 5. Col. Johnson states that
Col. Smith, with his command and the
numerous trains guarded by it, reached
there Nov. 3. The march was slow and
tedious, averaging eleven miles a day.
Although the road was excellent and tne
weatbor fine, it was not possible to make
more rapid progress on account ot the
broken-down condition ot the dratt ani
mals. Tho trains, including the settlers
and merchants destined for Salt Lake,
which he would not allow to go on, occu
nied as closo an order as they could be
made to travel the spaco of from five to
six miles. -No molestation whatever was
atteniDted bv the Mormon, which may
bo attributed to presence of the cavalry,
and the iudicious dispositions of vigilance
of Col. Smith. On the 6th of November
Col. Johnston was to march on Fort
Brider and dislodge any force bo imght
find there, and await the appearance of
Col. Cook, when, as the approach ot Y in
ter was too near to attempt the passigc o
the Wasach range of mountains with a
nrobabilitv of success, he would seize u
non the district mentioned in bis letter
from the South rass, and occupy u uuu
an advance shall be practicable.
Thn nnmmiinioation from Briyham
Younz to Col. Alexander, and Elders
and Taylor to Cpt. Marccy, and the or
ders of D. Wells, commander of the Mor
mons. whioh Col. Johnson incloses, and
the acts of the Legislative Assembly at
tbe la-t session, show, he says, a matured
and settled design on the part of tbe Mor
raons to hold and occupy the Territory
independent and irrespective of the au
thority of the United States, occupying
as they do, tho attitude of rebellion and
open defiance of the Government, connect
ed with numerous overt acts of treason
Col. Johnston has ordered that whenev
er they may be met with in arms they
may be treated as enemies, and he reiter-
... i- j .
ates tne necessity lor prompt, uuu vigui-
ous action, or the Uuited btatcs must sub
mit to the usurpation of their territory
The conduct of the Mormons, he says, re
suits from 5 settled determination on
their part uot to acknowledge the author
ity of tho United States, nor any other
outside of their church. He adds, a sup
ply of subsistence must be forwarded ear-
lvinthe Sonnir. It should reach the
- -r
army by the firat of June.
Should a long time elapse without hear
ing from him (Scott), Col. Johnston says
it must be attributed only to the difficulty
of sending expresses across the moun
tains in the Winter months.
The officers and men are reported to
be in fine health and animated with an
ardent desire to discharge fheir dutties
faithfally.
In a postscript Col. Johnston says the
army has made one day's inarch since
the 5th, and that on the 7th they were a
waitinij the arrival of tho trains delayed
the day before by a storm. c,Our trains,"
he adds, "ocoupy, in as close an order as
they can travel, the road from thirteen
to fourteen miles; therefore tho rear can
not move till late in tho day."
Among the documents transmitted is a
letter from Bngbam Young, dated Octo
ber 15, in which, replying to Col. xlex-
dcr, he says :
"If you have come here for peaceful
purposes, you have no use for weapons
of war. We wish and ever have wished
for peace, and have ever sued for it all
the day long, as our bitterest cnemis; and
though the wicked, with the Administra
tion, now at their head, have determined
we shall have no peace, except it be to be
down in death, in the name of Isreal
God, we will have peace, even though
we be compelled by our enemies to fight
for it. If you persist in your attempts to
permanently locate an army in this Terri
tory, contrary to the wishes and Consti
tutional rights of tbe people therein, thus
aiding the Administration in their unhal
lowed efforts to palm their corrupt offi
cials upon us and protect them tbe
blacklegs, black-hearted scoundrels,
whorema8ters,and murderers as was the
sole intention in sending you and your
troops hero, you will have to meet a mode
of warfare against wbicb your tactics fur
nish you no information. In regard to
myself and certain others having placed
ourselves a position of rebellion and hos
tility to the Government of the United
States. I am perfectly awaro, and we
understand our true and most loyal posi
tion far better than our enemies can in
form u, wc, of all people, aro endeavor
ing to preserve and perpetuate the geni
us, the constitution and constitutional law;
while the Administration and tbe troops
they have ordered to Utah are, in fact,
themselves the rebels, and in hostility
to the Uoneral Government; and if Geo.
Washington was now living and at the
helm of our Government, be would bang
the Administration as high as he did An
dre, and that, too, with a far better grace
and to a much greater subserving o the
best interests of the country."
After much similar and defiant lan
guage Young says :
"By virtue of my office as Governor of
the lerntory of Utah, I command you to
marshal your troops and leave this Ter
ritory, for it oan be of no possible benefit
to you and to waste treasures and blood
in prosecuting your courso upon the side
of a rebellion against the General Gov
ernment by its administrators. Youhave
had, and still havo, plenty of time to re
tire within reaoh of supplies at the East
or go to Fort Hale, where you and your
fellow-officers as well acquainted with
your mon as I am with mine, and did
they understand the work they are en
gaged in as well as you may understand
it, you, must know that many, of them
would immediately revolt from all con
nection, with, so ungodly, illegal, uncon
stitutional and hellish a orusado against
an innocent people; aud if their blod is
shed it shall rest upon tho beads of their
commanders. With us it is the Kingdom
of God or nothing."
