Jok9' Hotui., Philadelphia,
March 23, 18.03. (
In a previous luttcr last week, 1 spoke of
the prostration Of business In this city. Since
then a decided Improvement lias taken lace.
Southern and Western merchants, in consid
erable numbers, have arrived, nnd merchants
and others are beginning to look up with the
revival of trade. Tho Hotel keepe-s too ore
mado to appreciate tho beneficial results cf
this revival in the filling up of their bouses,
the effects of which are plainly visible in tbo
cheerful countenances of the landlords. In
this respect none have more reason to con
gratulate themselves than Messrs. Marshall
& Powell, of Jones' Hotel, which establish-
mcnt, though always ranked among the best,
has been growing rapidly into popular favor,
under their management. Tho weather too
bag thrown olTits winter garb and assumed a
more spring like appearance.
In New York, 1 understand, tbo improve
ment in busiuess is not yet so decided, but a
week cr two may make a decided change
In the mcautime the government Treasury,
w hich last year was laboring tinder a plethora,
occasioned by the fullness of its vaultB, is now
almost collapsed by tbo deplection going on
by the heavy expenditures. Tho receipts
fiom tho customs, last week, amounted to
only a half a million of dollars, while the
expenditures reached one million and a half.
At this rale government would, at the end
of the year, bo in debt fifty millions, but this
Btate of things must change, and, perhaps
soon a-great change will be felt, though proba
bly not enough to avoid the necessity of a loan.
The Kuutas question is drawing to a crisis
in Cougress, and it is now pretty generally
conceded that the Lecompton Constitution
cannot be forced through.
The bill of Mr. Montgomery, of this State,
referring the Lecompton Constitution back
to tho pcoplo of Kansas, which was referred
to a select committee by a majority of eleven
is, of itself, conclusive evidence of the defeat
of Ihe Lecompton bill except in such a shape
as will render it obnoxious to the Southern
fire-caters, and render it an administration
defeat, instead of a triumph. If anything
was necessary to seal its fate, it has been
done by the speech of Senator Crittenden, of
Kentucky, one of the ablest and most talent
ed men in tho union, for many years tho
compeer and companion of Clay, Calhoun
and Webttcr, iu the Senate, and in many
respects the equal of either. Ho says the
Lecomptou Constitution is not thu Constitu
tion of Kansas, but of the convention that
framed it, and thut Jhe whole of the proceed
ings which brought about tbo result of that
Constitution were fraudulent and disgraceful
to all the parties concerned. Such testimony,
from such a source, and coming loo from a
representative of a slavo Stale, has not been
without its effect.
It is to be regretted that Mr. Buchanan
should have staked his popularity and his
political rcpotatiou on this result. He
should remember that ho is not Geneiul
Jackson, nor backed by tho popularity of
General Jackson, nnd if he were, he must
fail under the crushing effects of such a dead
weight as the Lecompton swindle. But Gen.
Jackson never would have tolerated such n
fares as the Lecompton Cuustitution. He
never would have permitted Iho voice of tho
people to be violated by the ruffianism of the
South or the fanaticism or tho North.
Mr. Buchanan, in his unfortunate policy on
the Kansas question, hat cot only suffered a
most humiliating defeat, upon which he rashly
staked his whole political reputation, but he
has dragged down with him many of his
warmest personal and political friends, some
of whom, in order to support his mad schemes
on Kansas, wero compelled to sacrifice not
only tbeir principles, but to ttultify and com
promise their character for veracity and
consistency.
The notorious Johu Calhoun, President of;
tho Lecompton convention, has at last been
compelled to declaro the result of the lute
Kansas election. Heuatcarried the returns
in his pocket for tvo months, declaring some
times that ihe slavery party bad a majority
in tho legislature, and at other times thai
the free State party hud tho majority. When
ho first came on to Washington, he told
Judge Douglas that tho slavery party were
elected by several thousand, without regard
to the fraudulent returns. Now he states, by
rejecting the fraudulent returns, which he
admits wero such, he cays the free Stute
party lias triumphed. Fiuditig thut such
villainous conduct was injuring Lecompton,
and that that great swindle was doomed to
certain destruction, ho was obligod to dis
gorge tho returns, although he repeatedly
stated be would never declare them until
the Lecompton Constitution was admitted.
The legislature has resolved to adjourn on
the 23d of April. Tho members will there
fore have to go earnestly to work in order to
get through.
Judge Ludlow has struck terror into the
corrupt officials that surrounded the criminal
court. He sentenced Deputy Sheriff Laird
to imprisonment in Jail for 20 days, and a
due of (20 for aiding in packing a Jury in a
murder case. High Constable Carson he
bound over in tbo sum of 2,000 for perjury.
A Dradi.v Ki-ipkmio. A Intter received in
Baltimore, Md., from the University of Vir
giiiie, and duled 18th iosUiit, fj that a
fatal epidemic, resembling typhoid (over, has

JOHN L. DAWsO.V,
President of the Convention
Tub Question Sktti.kd. Gen. Calhoun the
iudire of tbe Kansas returns, has reported
the result of tbe election in that territory for
the State Legislature, which gives, it is said,
the Legislature to the Free State party.
This puts the power into the hands of that
narlv to make the State just what they please.
It is a practical settlement of thu whole
question which has kept Kansas in hot water
for the last year or two. The war may be
kept up in Congress over tbe Lecompton Con
stitution, but if Congress wore to-morrow to
receive the State uudcr that Constitution,
there is nothing in that organic law itself
which would muke tho State anything else
than a free ouo. Tha Legislature, if iho
did not like tho instrument, could convene a
Convention immediately to niter, niontty or
abolish every article ia it. The contest in
Congress Is uow over a mere abstraction
whether the people must udopt their Consti
tution themselves, whether they cao delegate
the power to their representatives. If this
were a pure democracy, the right would rest
in tbe people only, but being a representative
republic, the peoplo cun delegate the power
to their representatives, if they think lit.

urged nie again to try "Poctor istur," and
