The returns of the recent elecdon in Kansas are not all received as yet, but enough are known to justify us in saying that the Consti ution wi'h slavery was adop ted by a considerable majority. The free ' State men had generally declined voting j preferring to follow tho advice of the noto- I rious Jim Lane and other demagogues of the same stamp to the sound and wholesome advice of President Buchanan. It was re ported at Lawrence that a body of men had gone to Lecompton with the avowed inten tion to seize the territorial arms, and that Lane had gono to Fort Scott with the inten tion of destroying that place, dispersing the pro-slavery scalers in the Shawnee reserve, and carrying the war into the border coun ties ol Missouri; but subsequent advices do not confirm these startling rumors. Gover nor Denver hud assumed the functions of his otlice ; and issued an address to the peo ple. lie states that the President of tho Convention had invited himself and the presiding officers of both blanches of tho Territorial Legislature to bo present at tho canvassing of lite election returns.— Lancets ter Intelligencer.

There was a Bank clatter in Jackson's time, a Sub-Trea sury clatter in Van Buren's, a Tariff clatter : in Polk's, and a Nebraska clatter in Pierce's. | Each of these clatters scared a few timid Democrats, but the sober second thought of ! the people set everything right in time. We have a Kansas clatter now, and some of our friends are afraid Buchanan is not right | We repeat to tliein the question—Did you j ever know a Democratic administration to Ibe wrong.— Valley Spiiit. THE PKE-IDKNT'S ANTI-FH.LIBI'STER POLICY. —The Mobile Regisler sustains the Presi dent's course in relation to the (filibusters, and thinks that if the Southern peoplo have patience they will see the expansion of this county southward by peaceable meansmuch more certainly than by violence and out rage. This is excellent advice and worth consideration. Texas, it will be remember ed, was first colonized by American citizens before it was revolutionized. This is what Central America requires before it can be of any advantage to the Union, or before it can sustain itself as an independent Stale, for without arts, industry, civilization or wealth, it would be hut a poor specimen of a republic. Onca seitle the disturbances there, and opon it as a highway to the world, and the population that is required to give it the necessary btamina for a State will soon settle in the country, and identity of views and of interests will unito it with the power which can givo it lite best protection and security.

But the trade of the road will be largely t increased in consequence of the comple- j tion of the Lackawanna & Bloomsburg Rail- j road, the Macauley Mountain road, both of which will soon be in full operation, and the Qnakake Valley road, which is expec ted to be finished within sixty-days from the period of recommencing work in the spring. As the Cattawissa, W. & E. road owes its projection and completion mainly to the indomitable efforts of Col. Joseph 11. Pax tor., so its successful operation is the result of the admirable management of Mr. Fon da, the superintendant of the road, and the other officers thereof acting with him. Revival of Trade. In the courso of the recent debate in tho Senate on the Treasury Note Bill, Senator Seward gave this cheering view: In my judgment the acceleration of busi ness is going to be rapid just in proportion to the rapidity with which business has de clined. and I expect to see every day, and every hour ol every day, marked by a rise in the prosperity of the country, graduated , just exuedy by the suddemiessoftliedepres i sion. The causes of the disaster are gone. . i tl.Jnlr Ui-uu -is uoiluurr Leiuiu. us great revival of busiue-s and plethora of money to revive it in all departments. 1 • may be mistaken in lhi, hut 1 am willing i to stand by it. The indications presented in the various manufacturing districts of the country, would j seem to give great force to the above predic tion. In different parts of the country, but particularly in the New England Slates, the j resumption of work is becoming quite gen | era', and affords the most encouraging assu ' rattces that tho causes of tho recent disas'ter | are well nigh removed. Among the most j recent resumptions are the following: The boot autl shoe manufacturers of Lew istown, Maine, are resuming operations, and a portion of the looms in lite ISaos Mills, which were stopped iu October, have com menced running again. The cotton mill of l'lunkett, Clupp & Co., in l'ittsfield, Mass., Comjnenced running full lime oil Monday last. The l'ontoosuc woolen mill is running three-fourtli%fime; and the pa per mills oi Owen & Hulbert, in South Lec, are running three-fourths time. The Suffolk steam cotton mill, at Sag Harbor, N. Y., af ter lying idle lor several months, commen ced running a part of its macbineiy a few days since, giving employment to some of its operatives who have been anxiously waiting to see it in motion. May we not hope that these evidences of returning prosperity will be confirmed by the early resumption of business by the manufacturing concerns in our neighbor hood ! The apprehensions so generally en tertained in the early part of the fall, that great destitution and suffering would proba bly prevail have proven unfounded, mainly through the beneficence which has given us so mild a winter, and nothing is now re quired to remove every possibility of such danger, but the general resumption of work.

Trial ol Smith Tor (he Murder of Carter. The trial of Thos. Washington Smith, for tho murder of our lamented late fellow townsman, Richard Carter, Esq., at the St. Lawrence Hotel, in Philadelphia, on tho evening of the 4th November last, commen ced in tho Court of Oyer and Terminer, in Philadelphia on Tuesday morning, before Judge Allison The case is one in which this feel tho great est interest, and we would have given a full account of the trial, widy for the fact that it is reported in detail in the Philadelphia morning and evening papers, and will be read by most of our readers before our pa per can possible teach them. This cold blooded and heartless murder, was commit ted at the St. Lawrence Hotel, in thfe public sitting room, and iir apparently the most deliberate manner. Tho ( Court room was crowded, and many, surrounded the Court House, anxious to got a glimpse at the pris oner, but they were disappointed. Tho prisoner wlrt stands charged with this terrible offence against tho l'aws, is.a young, slight, nervous looking man, appar ently thirty years of age, though we have been informed ho is much younger. He appeared rather restless and excited, when first brought midmx the gaze of so many persons, but down into n sort of lethargic doiw, with his head leaning on one of his the rail of tho dock. His nervous system appears to be entirely broken down, so much so that when reques ted to hold his right hand up on entering the plea, it trembled convulsively, showing great nervous prostration. At times he would burst out in tears, then suddenly recollecting himself, he would dry his eyes and appear to bo more manly. His sis'er was in attendance, who paid that at tendance to the unfortunate being, which can only be bestowed by a sister's love. He seemed to bo lully aware of the position in which he was placed before the community. The evidence of the witnesses on the part of the prosecution, was in substance die same lis that heard by the Coroner's Jury at the time of the tragedy. It was simply to the effect that upon the afternoon of the day already mentioned, lilt. Carter was seated j in the parlor of tho hotel in conversation with his nephew, when Smith entered aud told the deceased that he wished 10 speak with him. Tho nephew siepped into the back parlor, and the prisoner commenced a j conversation in a low tone, which was final- j ly interrupted by Smith firing several shots from a revolver, which instantly killed Mr. Carter. Smith then walked out of the hotel with a bowie knife in Ids hand, and he was soon afterwards arrested in Cbestuut street, by otlicer Albright. The counsel for the defence, set up the plea of insanity ; stating that when the facts of the birth of the child became known to Smith, it took such possession of his mind that it rendered him unlit for business.— They attempted to show that in a fit of men tal aberratimi of tho mind, his father wan dered nuxyr siuco beon heard or. itnO inai it WiiWliuiy with the fam ily. This in our opinion, is all nonsense. .He was not insane, when he entered die St. i Lawrence Hotel, from the fact that he sat j and conversed more than twenty minutes, j with Mr. Carter. And only committed this horrible crime, when unable to carry out his nafarious designs aud purposes. The trial is still pending, and will, doubt ! less, occupy the whole of Tuesday, and may not terminate before Wednesday next. We doubt, exceedingly, whether the plea of in sanity can be sua ained. In a few days more, we shall know all about it. From the Washington States. The Anita Hey I'raud. A private letlevlrom Constantinople makes sta ernents respecting tho United Stales of ficials near the Ottoman l'orte, which de mand, and we doubt not will receive a thorough investigation at tho State Depart ment. One charge is, that a person who was then, and stilt is a saluried officer of this government, was the agent of t||| "Amin Bey Fraud." This disgraceful affair was hushed up; but many will doubtless remem ber that an ordinary teacher of the Turkish naval school was brought over by an attache of the United States legation at Constanti nople, and palmed off on the United S:ates as the envoy of the Sultan. Mr. Webster, then Secretary of State, was duped into asking SIO,OOO of Congress for the support of iho Supremo envoy while in this country; and on this money the itinerant schoolmas ter and his showman made quite a figure, and wero received with all the honors in many of the leading cities. Secretary Webster was not a little morti fied at having yielded so easily to this im position ; but, forsome reason or other, he overlooked the fault, and retained in office the culprit who had devised and carried it out at the expense of the country. Mr Marsh, our then Minister at Constantinople, lent his aid to smooth over the affair with the Sultan who, says our correspondent, "was surprsed and inconred, not less at the im pudence of Amin and his confederate, than at the strange anxiety of the United States minister to stifle public explanations." A call lor documents and information on the various cases in which it is alleged the United States Minister at Constantinople have refused or entirely neglected to pro tect our citizens, would probably reveal some very curious sins of omission and com mission in that quarter. An officio.! inquiry into what the Uuited States legation in Tur key had done—and not done—for the last ten years, would, iTtfuely rendered, giro us the raciest comedy of diplomacy ever set up by American types. tdf By reference to another column, in to-day's paper, it will be seen that John Stone & Sons, importers and dealers in Silks, Ribbons, and Millinary Goods, have removed from their old stand to No. 805 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. tsr A. T.

The writer says: Termii me, ihrough the columns of your paper, to present a short review of one or two points in the speech delivered in the United States Senate by Judge Douglas, on tho 9lh December last. The sum and substance of his argument, and the great point made by him, may be stated in short thus ; That the Kansas-Ne braska act guaranteed to the people of Kan sas tho right to regulate their domestic af fairs in their own way; and, therefore, the convention of delegates elected by the peo ple of Kansas, having failed to submit tho constitution made by them to a vote of the people of the Territory, had acted in con travention of this provision, and thus denied to the people a right guaranteed to them by the act. This is his premise and this his conclu sion; or, rather, he aims to make tho Presi dent, by a false construction and coloring of his insiructions to Gov. Walker, and of his message, assume both his premise and conclusion ; and upon this he builds his whole argument, alleging that both are granted, and his therefore con clusive. It can mako no difference to the roasoncr whence or from what source Mr. Douglas springs Jiis argument, he alone is responsi ble for its logical fairness and integrity. He assumes, therefore, that the Kansas- Nebraska act gave to tho people of Kansas the right to regulate their domestic affairs in their own way, and affirms that tho refusal of the Convention to submit the Constitu tion to a vote of tho people, is a denial of the rights guarantied to them by this clause of tho act. As a logical proposition his premise is true, because it is the sirule language of the act itself; but, unfortunately for his conclusion, it is not a sequence from his premise. He affirms nothing in the premise in regard to the Constitution nor the sub mission of the Constitution to a popular vote, and yet irom his conclusion, ono would suppose he had affirmed bolji. In othei words, his conclusion is broader than his premise, or rather has nothing to do with it, and is what logicians would term a non scquiter. Had ho assumed as his premise that the bill by its provisions required the Conven tion to submit tho Constitution to a popular vole, then his conclusion would have been legitimate and proper, because a legitimate sequence from his premise. But had he made such affirmation tho fact of tho bill would have stared him in the face to contra dict his assumption. The Kansas-Nebraska act contains no such provision. To expose the fallacy of this mode of rea soning let me submit one or two proposi tions in every way parallel to the one taken | rroni tUs .—.buluuoy mC Jrti. buuglna' I speech. ) The constitution of my State secures to me personal liberty and the exclusive right lof personal property; there/ore he who im ! prisons me by legal process for crime, or ; thus takes my property, deprives me of | those constitutional rights. | Again; The constitution of every State guarantees to tho citizen tho right of self- I government; therefore that State legislature I which fails or refuses to submit its cnaci ; ments to a vote of the people denies to j them the right of this constitutional provi sion ! The fallacy of such reasoning, its absurd j sophistry, is too apparent to need any fur ther elucidation; and yet, out of just such argumentation Judge Douglas has construc ted his whole speech; and some men even seem to be smitten by his logic! "Perfectly free to regulate their domestic affairs in their own way." Might not the people of Kansas, under this provision of the act, have elected their delegates to form a Constitution, and instructed them not to submit the Constitution to a popular vote! And had they pursued such course, could Mr. Douglas charge that in such refusal the Convention had violated this or any other provision of the act ? Surely not. If this be granted, here is an exception.— The people could absolve their delegates from this duty, and the exception but proves the absurdity of his position, and the fallacy of his argument; for if the act required the submission to be made, the people them selves could not absolve the delegates from the obligations enjoined upon them. The Fort Scott Tronble. What sort of action may be expected from Lane and his men, may be inferred from reading the letter which we publish to-day from Judge Williams. It is easy to see, al so, how the action of the Legislature, united to the disorders of these lawless men, must have tended directly to deter the citizens ot Kansas from voting on the 21st ult. We hope, however, they failed of their natural effect.— Washington Union. The statement of Judge Williams, Chief Justice of Kansas, referred to above, is that of the affair at Fort Scott, which has been singularly garbled and misrepresented. It appears that, last summer, some men, from Lawrence or Leavenworth, drove a man, named Souihwood from his claim, and ap propriated his property. They were indic ted, but the parties indicted made their escape. Since that time, threats ol violence have been made against the witnesses, and one of the lawless desperadoes, named Curry, shot a Mr. Littmar. Curry was in dicted and held to bail, but fled, and his property was seized, under tlu statute, and sold, though threats were mads that Fort Scott would be burnt if the property was sold. Recently, an armed body of men made their appearance at Fort Scott, procee ded to the houses of Mr. Wasson, Mr. Gou ty, and Mr. Southwood, witnesses in ihe case of Curry, and violently seized them,l tied them, and took them away. Since which time nothing has been heard of them. "Complaint, in due form of law, having i been made of these acts before a justice of the peaoe, the proper process was put into the hands of the marshal to arrest the offen ders. He proceeded to. their rendezvous in Mr. Spootswood's house, found it fortifi ed. and as he approached it, fifty men arm ed with Sharpe s rifles and revolvers, came forth from the house in military order, com manded by Montgomery, and demanded of him an account of his business there. Hav ing informed them that he was the marshal, and that ho had come to arrest them, or of them, by virtue of legal process, their reply was that they had received a despatch from James H. Lane, that the Legislature now in session had repealed all the laws of this Territory, and that they were their own law makers and executors; therefore, they would not permit any arrests to be made, and that he might leave. "Finding their determination to resist him, and knowing that he, alone, could not with stand the force opposed to him, he left them and returned to Port Scott. Thus stands the affair as far as heard from. Now, these men openly profess to be organized, and sent to Fort Scott and vicinity, by Gen. Lane. As they openly and boldly swear they will burn Fort Scott, the citizens of that place are vir tually besieged, and obliged to be on duty day and night; while in the country around, the people, by families, are flying from their homes, leaving their property exposed to the depredationsof these lawless men."— Ledger. From the Washington Union. Afluirs in Kansas! We published yesterday tho nccount of a public meeting in Lawrence which nomina ted a full ticket for State officers under the Lecorapton Constitution. It will be seen that the extract from the Leavenworth Times, which we publish to-day, that a similar meeting has been held tn Leavenworth, and that the action of the Lawrence meeting has been thoroughly endorsed. The Conser vative men of Kansas, without distinction of pnrty, are evidently in favor of the voting policy, and prefer to appeal to the ballot box rather than to arms. Lane and his reck less followers are on the other side,but even they will hesitate to pursue their conduct to its logical consequences. Whether they do, however, or not, it is quite clear that the great majority of the Kansas people are roa-1 dy to take tho management of their own af fairs into their own hands. They ought all to have voted for delegates to the Lecomp ton Convention. They ought all to have voted on the 21st December on tho question of slavery. They were misled on both of these occasions, and they just begin to see their error. We look to see the returns of a large vote on the 4th instant. But, whatever may have been tho conduct oftheTopeka men on the 4lh, there are two things quite evident, from the informa tion from Kansas which wo already possess: Ist. It is expected in Kansas, by a majority of the population there, that the State will be admitted under the Lccompton constitu tion. 2d. The people of Kansas understand perfectly well that in that event, they will have control of their own affairs, and can change their constitution at their own plea sure. We might repeat a third proposition, viz: that, but for outside encouragement, there would now be no agitation in Kansas, and that all parties there would be acquies cent in the policy of its admission as a Suite under the Lccompton constitution. At present, however, we pass over this point. Hereafter, they who oppose the pacification of Kansas, or who have opposed it will be held to a strict account by the American people. We are contented to await the judgment of that tribunal, feeling certain that these malcontents, however, high or able, will be oll..otuully ruL.ui.utl by the obvious ronjie quences of their own acts. Mere technical ities never yet outweighed, before the peo ple of the United States, the substantial merits of a great question. • The Kansas controversy was acontroversy about shivery. The slavery question was submitted to the people of Kansas. Everybody understood that - and they who declared, in one breath that slavery is an impossibility in Kansas, and in the next breath seek to keep alive or reanimate the old excitement in tho North about Kansas will find they have made a hopeless mistaks. They tread on a Serbon ian bog, and they will sink at last beyond extrication. Nothing now remains for the settlement of the Kansas question but that Congress should admit the Territory as a State. Shall Lane and his ultra adherents defeat this object ? Shall they do so, even with the aid of presidential aspirants in the States I There is no other question in the case than these. Admit tho State, and the controversy is at once and effectually closed. It will no longer agita'e tho Union. No Sen ator will find it in his State. No represen tative will find it in his district. It will cease to interfere with the progress of Con gressional affairs. But if we falter with it, if we delay it, if we hesitate upon triHing technicalities to admit the State, who does not see that the agitation must still continue, and that it must be met in every Stale ana district in the Union 1 Let no Democrat be deceived by the loud cries which come from the expiring shriekers in Kansas!
