least hoM out such inducements as shall enable this measure to be fairly tested? The passage of a law guaranteeing the payment of a moderate sum to one Teach ers' School in each of the districts created by the act of 18t7, would no doubt cause a sufficient number to establish the efficiency and practicability of the plan, to be com pleted in a few years; the money not to be |id till the schools were in full and ap proved operation. It is not probable that this £rant Would cause any considerable draft on the treasury; but, even if the whole twelve schools should ultimately be estab lished, the boon would neither be out of proportion to that which has been conceded to other literary institutions, nor the num ber of graduates beyond the w ants of the community. Up to the present time, Penn- ' sylvania has appropriated about 8600,000 in aid of her colleges and academies, and this mainly in the hope of obtuiniug from them teachers for the common schools.— Though the benelits of this munificence have been, in other respects, quite equal to the amount given, it will be asserted by no one that the avowed object has been to any considerable extent effected. It would therefore appear to be lime that the aid of the Stale should be brought directly to bear in favor of the great object so long contem plated. 1 have thus briefly laid before you the condition of our noble educational system. It will aflord me sincere pleasure to concur in the adoption of these, or any other mea sures, for its perfection, that the wisdom of the legislature may devise. In this country, the want of a school which shall combine the elements ot learning and agricultural labor and thus adapt itsell to the education of the farmer, has been most seriously felt; for, whilst our many colleges well fill the measure of usefulness in their appropriate sphere of influence, it must be conceded that the training they impart is badly adapted to the art olpraclical agricul ture. In Pennsylvania that interest is so important as to demand at all times our anx ious attention, and active support. "The Farmers' High School of Pennsylvania," lately projected and planned by a few pub lic spirited individuals, and which has re ceived, to some extent, the patronage of the State, and the contributions of a number of our patriotic citizens, is destined to allord a place where young men may be educat ed at an expense commensurate with their means, and to a condition qualifying them for the pursuit of the business of the farm. Here, whilst daily occupation will train the body to the ability to labor, and give to the student the enviable feeling that he contri butes to his own support and education, it will instruct and enlarge his mind, that it may give force and effect to all his future efforts. The design of the institution is to afTord a school where boys may be thorough ly educated in all the branches of natural science, arid, at the same time, be inured to the performance of labor; so that at their graduation they may return to their parents abundantly prepared to join the domestic circle, to give a right direction to the busi ness of agriculture, and act well their part in every department of life. An object so fraught with usefulness is entitled to the highest commendation. The application of scientific principles to the practical purposes of life, is but realiz ing the full benefit of those laws of nature, to discover and to profit by which, is un doubtedly one of the great ends of human reason. The more this important object is held in view and effected by our higher in stitutions of learning, the more valuable and useful will they become. The Polytechnic College of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia, is founded on this basis; and its attempt to popularize science, and connect high ac quirement with practical ability, is presented to your favorable consideration. Under a resolution of the last House of Representatives a committee wasappointed by the Speaker of the House, to examine ~ ibt!JjlatG" and- condition of several Hanks chartered at the session of 1857. The res olution directed the committee to report to the Governor the ret-ult of its examination within ninety days after the adjournment of the legislature. On the 20th of July last, the report of the committee, together with the accompanying evidence, was filed in the Office of the Secretary of the Common wealth, a copy of which will be laid before the House of Representatives. In view of the facts reported by the com mittee, in reference to the organization and subsequent management of the Tio.ga Coun ty Bank, The Crawfotd County Bank, and (lie Bank of Shamukiii, I would recommend a careful inqu ; ry into the present condition oi these institutions, and if it shall be ascer tained that the public is likely to suffer in jury from the further existence of either, a speedy and certaiu remedy may be louua in a legislative repeal of the rights and priv ileges granted by the acts of incorporation. The power to alter, revoke, or annul, the . charter of a bank whenever its continuance may, in the opinion of the legislature, be injurious to the citizens of the Common wealth, is expressly given by the Constitu tion to the General Assembly,—to be exer cised, however, in such manner as that no injustice shall be done to the corporators. Obedience to ths constitutional injunction would require that in the event of a repeal of the charter of a bank, care should be ta ken that the rights ot the stockholders to the surplus assets of the bank, alter pay ment of its debts, were protected; and that suitable provisions should be made lor set tling its affairs. The injunction contained in the Constitu tion, that the repeal or revocation of a bank charter shall be in such manner as to work no injustice to the corporators, is not a qual ification of the power to revoke, or annul the charter; but it is simply a requirement that, in tukiug away the charter, the rights of the stockholders shull be protected, so far as is consistent with the act of repeal itself- Ido not doubt that the legislature may after, revoke, or annul, any existing bank charter, whenever in its opinion the continuance of the charter may be injurious to the citizens of the Commonwealth. Any other construction of the Constitutional res ervation would make the interests and sale ty of the public subservient to the gain of the private stockholder. Believing, there lore, that there is no want of power, 1 can not retrain from expressing my decided opinion that whenever it is clear that a bank is insolvent, or in great danger of be coming 80, or whenever its privileges are so used or abused as to seriously prejudice the interests ol the public, it is the duty of the law making power to protect the peo ple, by destroying its corporate existence. 11l this connection I deem it tny duty to reiterate the views expressed in my iiiau * gural address I then stated, as my deci ded opinion, that there should be no further increase of banks or banking capital under the present system—expressed a decided hostility to the issue of notes of a small denomination —and recommended such a change in our laws relative to baiiks, their organization and management, as would at least secure beyond ail question the prompt redemption of all bids or notes put in circu lation by the several banking institutions of the commonwealth Well satisfied of the imperfection of ex isting laws relative to banks and banking, i deem it a duty to iulorm the General As sembly that I cannot give the Executive ap proval to any bills chartering additional banks without a radical change in the en tire, system. It is but just to s ate that in Sy opinion a large majority of the banks tbe Commonwealth are well and safely managed, and in a perfectly sound condi tion; but this is due to the liouesty and in- telligence of those having charge of them, rather than to the efficiency of the laws Under the management of incapable or dis honest men, experience has shown, that ' there is really but little if any security to the public in the regulations and restrictions now to be found in our banking code. True wisdom dictates a reformation. The ruinous losses which have fallen up on the people during the financial pressure of the past eighteen months, suggest the necessity of preventing their recurrence Although many causes may have combined to produce these disasters, it is too piain to admit of doubt that our banking system has ! been one of the most prominent. The val ue uf the precious metals—the prices of property —and the wages of labor—are al ways affected by the abundance or scarcity of the paper medium received as a substi tute for gold and silvercoin. The power of the States to authorize a paper currency, through the agency of banks, has been so long exercised, and acknowledged, through out the Unimi, that it is no longer an open question. But it must be acknowledged that the power has been greatly abused The delegation of this attribute of sover eignty to a number of irresponsible corpo rations, without proper checks to limit its exercise, and without providing any securi ty whatever for the redemption of the is sue thus authorized, has been attended with evils of thb most alarming character. These corporations are practically made the exclu sive judges of the amount of paper curren cy to be lurnished to the people, Rnd have the exclusive power to contract or expand I their circulation at pleasure. Depositors and other ordinary creditors of banks, need no legislation lor their protection. Every one who has direct dealings with these in stitutions, either us depositor or otherwise, enters into such engagements voluntarily, for his own advantage, and may be safely left to his own vigilance, and the ordinary remedies of tho law, for his protection.— Bui the millions of people engaged in in dustrious pursuits, the farmer —the mechan ic—the merchant—and the laboring man— are under an imperious necessity to receive for their merchandise and their labor, the ordinary paper currency of the county, it ; is impossible for persons of this description to investigate the concerns of every institu tion whose notes are in circulation. But no investigation could savo them from the | losses arising from the defaults and frauds I ol bank officers and the insolvency of bank I borrowers. The note holder of banks have peculiar claims to the protection of the government. They are involuntary creditors, who are torced to receive the notes authorized by the government. They have no direct deal ing with the banks. They do not trust the banks from any hope of gain. They have no profit in passing the notes which they would not have had In passing gold and silver coin. They constitute almost the en tire community, and the humble and ignor ant are always the greatest sufferers when a bank fails to redeem us notes. The whole people are therefore deeply interest ed in the security of the circulation allowed by law, although many of them may never have had a share of bank stock, or been within a hundred miles ol its place of busi ness. The Government that authorizes the issue of a paper currency is under a high moral obligation to require ample and avail able security for its redemption. The certificates of loan issued by the Gen eral Government, or by this Commonwealth at a value to be fixed upon, with the power to require additional deposits of security, from time to time, as the loans depreciate in the market, would be as safe and availa ble as any guaranty which could be provi ded. A law requiring all issues of banks here after organized, to be secured by the pledge of these loans, would enhance lite value ol the present loans, and thus give the holders a premium not contemplated when they bo came purchasers, and for which they never gave any valuable consideration. This en lmnced value would be derived from a priv ilege granted by the State, and the State ought, therefore, to have tho benefit of it, as far as this may be secured by legislation. The recent amendment ot the Cmistituiion circumscribes the power of the Legislature in creating State debts, with an exception in favor ot debts contracted "to redeem the present outstanding indebtedness of the Slate " A law authorizing new Slate loans for the purpose of redeeming the present over due debt, would be within the consti tutional exception, and would be free from objection on constitutional grounds. The new loans thus authorized, redeema ble at the expiration of twenty years, with i the banking privilege attached to them, would undoubtedly sell at a high premium The proceeds of their sale should be applied to the payment of the present State debt, jiow overdue, amounting to more than sev enteen millions of dollars Under this sys tem' the State loans would no longer be he'd by foreigners, and the semi annual ship ments of specie, to pay interest, would therefore cease. As tilt' currency would be limited to the amount actually secured, the danger from expansion!, which havo heretofore stimula ted the incautious to embark in ruinous enterprises, Ln overtrading, and in extrava gance in their expenditures, would be great ly lessened, if uot entirely overcome As the securities would be in the hands of a high and responsible officer of the State, with authority to sell them for the purpose of redeeming the circulation,Hhe power of the banks to arrest specie payments at their own pleasure would be at au etui. The system proposed is as near an approach to a specie basis as the condition and habits of the people are at present prepared for. The duty of securing the community from lysses continually arising from unsafe cur rency, cannot he longer delayed without a mauilest disregard of the public interests. The subject is therefore commended to your early attention. 'I he report of the Commissioners appoin ted to contract for and superintend the erec tion of a monument to the memory of citi zens of Pennsylvania, who were slant or lost their lives in the late war with Mexico, will inform the Legislature of the proceed ings had on that subject. After receiving proposals for the erection of the monument, and the adoption of a plan, it was determin ed, in view of the limited and inadequate appropriation made for the accomplishment of the purpose, by the last Legislature, to postpone the commencement ol the work until further legislation could be had. It is the opinion of the Commissioners that such a monument as would do credit to the State, anil honor to the living and the dead, cannot be built for a less sum ihan thirty thousand dollars. If the Legislature should concur in thatoninion, the appropriation should be in creased accordingly. The report of the State Librarian will in form you of the progress made in the cata logue authorized by the last Legislature, and the general condition of the Library, which has grown to be an institution that deserves your losteriug care. 1 would com mend to your alteuliuu the suggestions of the Librarian. The refort of the Attorney, General, which will be laid before yon, will exhibit the operations of the Law Department of the Government tor the past year. The Act of the 21st of April, 1857, which requires the Attorney General to keep an office at Harrisburg, and which provides that all debts due to the Commonwealth shall be collected by that officer, has proved to be a highly beneficial enactment Under its ? revisions large iumi are saved which were ormerly paid for commissions and counsel fees. And the improved state of our fin ances is in no inconsiderable degree owing to the prompt manner in which outstanding claims are collected and paid into the Stale Treasury. The Adjutant General's report, which wjjj. be laid belore you, will show in detail the present condition ol the .Military Depart ment. 1 would remttfffuily call tion.of the Legislature to '.lie jscofumeiida- Itoiiß of that officer. The Militia Law of 1858, hq? not been I fully tested; but it is bpliemrct to be, in ihe main, an improvement oil the laws in force at the time of its passage. One of its best features, and one that should be strictly en forced. is that the system is self supporting. In no contingency should that department be a charge upon the public Treasury in time of peace. In referring tho attention of the Legisla ture to the elaborate reports of the Auditor General and State Treasurer, relating to the Finances of the State, which will be laid before you, 1 cannot refrain from giving ex pression to my view on the importance of a change in the mode ol keeping and dis bursing the public moneys. The State Treasurer receives anddisburses , between four anJ five millions of dollars ; annually; and it not unfrequently happens that there is a balance on the Treasury ex ceeding one million of dollars. The bond of the Treasurer is but for eighty thousand dollars. He deposits the money of the State wherever lie pleases, and it is paid exclu sively on his own check. The monthly set tlements with the Auditor General afford some security that the funds of the Com monwealth will not be misapplied; but it is entirely inadequate to the complete protec tion of the public interests. Until the State shall adopt a different sys tem for the collection, safe keeping and disbursement of her revenues, the money on hand must be kept either in the Treasury vault or deposited with the banking inslitu tio'ns in the State. For many years the latter mode has been adopted. I respectful ly recommend thut provision be made by law that 110 money shall be deposited itvany bauk by lite State Treasurer without requir ing security to be first given to the Com monwealth forlhe re payment olthe sumsde posited—that all checks issued by the State Treasurer shall bo countersigned by the Auditor General before they are used—and that daily accounts of the moneys received and paid shall be kept in the office of the Auditor General as we'l as in the Treasury Department. The Commissioners appointed to revise the Criminal Code of this Commonwealth, are progressing with the duties of their ap pointment, and will report the revised code before Ihe adjournment of the Legislature. The various charitable and reformatory institutions, which have heretofore received peetintary usatciauou from the Stale, such as the Stale Lunatic Hospital, at Harrisburg, the Western Pennsylvania Hospital, at Pittsburg, the Houses of Refuge, at Phila delphia and Pittsburg, the Pennsylvania Training Schools for idiotic and feeble minded children, the Asylums for the Blind and Deaf and Dumb, at Philadelphia, the Northern Home for Friendless Children, at Philadelphia—l recommend to your foster ing aid and care. The annual reports ex hibiting a detail of the operations of these noble and excellent charities, during the past year, will be laid before you. I can not recommend appropriations to charitable Associations of a purely local character, however praiseworthy the objects and mo tives of their founders and supporters, or however usefu! they may be to their par ticular localities. The present condition of the revenues of the GenerafHiovernmerit, demonstrates the urgent necessity of increased duties upon foreign importations. The people of Penn sylvania have ever taken a lively interest in the proper adjustment of a tariff; and they have with singular unimity, at all times, favored such an assessment of duties, as would nt only produce revenue, but fur nish the lorgest incidental protection to the great mineral, manufacturing, and industrial inieresls of the country. Had their voice hilheito been more potential in the councils of the nation, it is no longer problematical that much of the pecuniary distress lately experienced by all classes and conditions of business inen might have been to a great extent averted. The necessities ot the gov ernment and the people, now alike demand a change—an increase of duties—and 1 take great pleasure in indorsing the views of the President of the United Slates as expressed in his last annual message, relative to the change proposed. His advocacy of specific duties on all 'commodities which are gener ally sold by weight, or by measure, and which from their nature are of equal or of nearly equul value, —such as iron, of differ ent classes, raw sugar, and foreign wines and spirits," has met with a hearty response from the great body of the people of this Slate. It is to he hoped that his views on this question will be favorably regarded by Congress, and that the action of the federal government may correspond with the sug gestions of the President. When I was called upon to assume the Gubernatorial chair, nearly one year ago, in deference'to public opinions, and my own feelings, after a rapid review of events in Kansas, 1 started, thai "to the people of Pennsylvania the admission of a new Slate into the Union—into that Confederacy of which she is a member—must be at all times a subject of high interest. And I be lieve I express their sentiments, as well as my own, in declaring that ait the qualified electors of a Territory should have a lull and fir opportunity to participate in selecting delegates lo form a constitution preparatory to admission as a State, and, if desired by them, they should also be allowed an un qualified right to vote upon such constitution after it is framed." Subsequent events have confirmed me in these sentiments. The deplorable disputes in the first session of the present Congress, —the popular excitement resulting from those disputes, together with other proceed ings in their nature novel and alarming, would all have been averted, hail the peo ple been secured in "the unqualified right" to vote upon their domestic institutions. I regret to be compelled to say, that, under various pretences, this sacred franchise lias been virtually withheld from them. When they refused lo accept the Lecoinpton Con stitution, made lor them by delegates repre senting the minority, they were explicitly denied the privilege of malting their own constitution, unless upon a condition not previously exacted. If they accepted the Lecompton Constitution, they entered the sisterhood of Slates at once, with a popula tion less than one half of the existing ratio of Congressional representation; but, if they refused that Constitution, they could not be admitted into the Union, with the Constitu tion of their choice, until they \vgre ready to show by a formal census that they had attained a population equal to that ratio.— The results have become historical. The last expressive vote of the people of Kansas against the act of Congress,common ly known as the English Bill, has for a time arrested Congressional intervention. Peace has resulted alone from the votes of the peo ple not from the suggesiion of outside in fluences. But, during the angry feelings which this controversy has aroused, the the ory has been started, and insisted upon, that it will henceforward be the duty of Con gress to protect slavery in territories, if the people of the territories, shall fail to do so. The warrant for this extraordinary assump tion is alleged to exist in the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, in the case of Dred Scott. Entertaining, as I do, profound reverence for the decisions of that august tribunal, and standing ready to obey them, whenever they are enunciated, I have ysf to be convinced that any such construc tion An be fairly given to their action in the case referred to. Such a doctrine, no matter how sanctioned, or supported, will shake tiie very pillars o/ our constitutional fabric. It would compel every territory to elevate property in slaves above every other •description of property,—and to establish a slave code in its early municipal regulations; or else it would convert ihe Congress into a theatre of crimination and confusion, and fill the whole country with strife. And all this, without securing a single advantage to the North, or ptohMUag a single right of the South. Regarding fully committed to the doctrine or popular sovereignty in its broadest sense, 1 can never subscribe to the theory of Congressional intervention, as understood and supported by the opponents of this doctrine. By popular sovereignty, I mean no violation of the rights of the States | —no assult upon tl|e institutions of the South—no sectional prejudices On the contrary; I regard the doctrine as the embodiment of the popular will in States and Tetritories, as (the conservator of the rights and the equality of Slate and people— and as ihe only means by which a vexed and dangerous agitation will be satisfactori ly and perpetually "settled.'' A theory equally heretical has been ad vanced in another pq/tion of the Union. It has been hbld that this government, divided into free and slave Slates, as it was framed by our revolutionary fathers, cannot endure —that all must becomt free, or all become slave. When such a doctrine shall have been subverted—State sovereignty prostra ted—state and the liber ty of the lt should meet an indignant requke from every lover of his country, and thq blood bought right of the people and the pales to sell-government. Under the virions amendments to the constitution of flann'a., the influence of the Executive has beon greatly reduced by the transfer of patrdriage from the Governor to the people. Xfiis is in accordance with the principles of self-government, but it must be acknowledged that in relieving the Execu tive from many serious responsibilities, it has diminished his ability to maintain the rights of the State against Federal and other encroachments, and has thrown a greater share of responsibility upon Ihe people. The extensive patronage of the federal govern ment, and the large salaries paid to its offi cers, in comparison with those of the state, present constant inducements to our citizens to overlook the state in the pursuit of more lucrative employments under the United States. It is, therefore, the more necessary that the people should guard the sovereigu ty of the state with increasing watchfulness. Tho the United States con tains the fundamental principle which should- govern its construction on every question respecting the extent of the feder al power. "The power not delegated to the United States, by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the poople " It is oil this broad platform that every claim of federal power not granted by the consti tution, should be sternly resisted. The ten dency to centralization is so great, and the overshadowing influences of power and pat ronage so seductive, that liberty cannot long be preseved wii'nout the exercise of sleepless vigilance inforcing a Strict con struction of ihe federal compact. The doc trine of state rights is the doctrine of true liberty. Popular sovereignty is the lifeblood of our free institutions, and the palladium of our safely. Every patriotic inducement to sustain those great principles should be fearlessly held out to our citizens, and every unauthorized assumption of power should be resisted with unceasing energy, and by all constitutional means. t Having now discharged the duty impo-ed on the Executive, by the constitution, I can not conclude without congratulating you up on the peculiarly favorable auspices under which you enter upon the duties of the See sion of 1859. Few important subjects of leg islation press upon your.attention. Prudence firmness, fidelity—a watchful regard for the interests of the Commonwealth—a jeal ous guardianship of her finances—on the part ol the government—are all that are required, under Providence, to ensure the continuance and increase of on ward prosper ity. Pennsylvania may then, at no remote period, rejoice in the extinguishment of her public debt—lite repeal of her onerous and burdensome taxes—a fame and a credit untarnished—a free and popular education al system—and an industrious and loyal people, prosperous and happy. WILLIAM F. PACKER. EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, J Harrisburg Jan. sth, 1859.) STAR OF THE NORTH. IVM. II JACOlir, EDITOR. BLOOMSBUBC, WEDNESDAY, JAK'YIiTTssT. Message of Governor Packer. In this week's STAR or THE NORTH will be found the annual Executive document pub lished entire: giving all our patrons an equal opportunity ol reading its contents and judg ing its merits. It is not very lengthy, there fore the reader's time would not be taxed heavily in giving it a careful perusal. This issue qf out paper commences the ELEVENTH VOLUME, and in it we give PACKER'S first annual message, and we hope to be able to continue long enough to publish many an nual mestages as they emanate from the Executive Chamber. In this message it is announced and shown up to the Represen tatives of the people of this Commonwealth, that the finances of old Pennsylvania are in a most satisfactory condition. j It will b seen by the message that the real debt olthe Commonwealth, at the pres. ent lime, funded and unfunded, is $39,268,- 111 >6; and to balance this amount, besides the sources of public revenue, the State owns bonds, received from the sale of the public works, which are well secured, amounting to $11,000,161.. By deducting 1 this from tke outstanding debt, it will leave the sum of $28,087,111- 16 unprovided for. It is believed that, with the existing source of revenue, and the observance of strict economy, tkis sum may be reduced, during the current year, at least $1,000,000. The Governor thinks the present a very appropriate time—when our nation is at peace—Md when health and reasonable prosperity prevail within our borders—to greatly reduce the public debt. He says, "we have lut to carefully hushand our le gitimate resources, avoiding extravagant and unnecessary appropriations, and prac ticing a proper economy in all the depart ments of Government, to render the entire extinguishment of our debt a fixed fact with in a very brief period." The sale of the main line is sustained in the message by arguing that the short ex perience nlrcOTy enjoyed, proves conclu sively that the Commonwealth is greatly the gainer, in a financial point of view, and the public have been as well, if not better ac commodated, by the change. A great many public interests are discus sed in this document in a brief and pointed manner. Considerable attention, is given to the common school system and departments of public instruction with an expression and tone exhibiting much interest in the cause of education. He has in his message plain ly laid before you the condition of our no ble educational system. " The Farmer's High School of Pennsylvania" lately pro jected, is spoken of in the message as being an institute long in want in this country, to more fully combine the elements of learn ing and agricultural labor, and thus adapt itself to the educatiou of the farmer. This enterprise is worthy of commendation which it is daily receiving. It is an object fraught with usefulness and is entitled to the high est respect and honor. THE Miltnnian commenced its forty-third volume on Friday last and made its appear ance printed on new type. We wish the proprietors, Messrs. Frick & Funk, abun dant success. WE HAVE received the Message of Gov. Packer vetoing the Insurance Bill passed by the last Legislature, and which was the sub ject of much newspapercommentduringthe summer..

While tho Bldck Republican party and their allies are stigmatizing that portion of President BUCHANAN'S late message which is appropriated to a review of the Kansas question, as untrue with reference to facts and unsound in policy, the papers and peo ple of that Territory are applauding Mr. BUCHANAN for standing firmly on the wise, conservative and constitutional platform which he erected in his first communication to Congress upon this vexed and irritating subject. The Kansas National Democrat, when noticing tho President's message, says: We were well pleased to see that the President stands firmly by his policy in re gard to this Territory. Had his plan been lully carried out, long ere this, Kansas would have been a State with a Constitution pro hibiting slavery. The President had no right to dictate to the people of Kansas how they should make a Constitution, and Congress had no right to reject it, as it was Republi can in its character, excepting for the reason that our population was not sufficiently large to entitle us to an equality of representation with the Stales, and this they would not do, but very wisely agreed that we might be come a State, and within thirty days there alter, through the act of a Free State Legis lature,'take the proper steps for determining whether the settlers desired a change for. the Lecompton Constitution. Thus it will be seen that the President and Congress, strictly and to the tfory letter, carried out the terms of the Cincinnati resolution. It is the merest demagogueism and a base lie, to assert that the President or Congress attempted to impose upon us a Pro Slavery Constitution against our wishes, inasmuch as it was known that our Legislature elected under that Constitution was almost unani mously Free State, and our right to change the Constitution immediately after admis sion, was ably set lorth by the President, and his views endorsed by a Democratic Senate. Had the patriotic portion of our anti-sla very settlers gotie to the polls in June 1857, as they should have done, they could very easily have carried a large majority of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention, and thus have prevented the formation of a Constitution obnoxious to them. In June, 1857, they were under the lead of radical Abolitionists, who came to Kansas to create discord and produce, it possible, the disso lution o! the Union. Therefore these "radi cal" leaders in council determined not to vote, and thus permitted the Convention to be carried by radical or ultra men on the other side, by which means they could readily promote their object, and avoid all the responsibility. Considering the object to be accomplished, the scheme was well taid, and served to deceive many of our set tlers, and completely humbugged the peo ple ol the States. The settlers ir. October, 1857, repudiated the radical Abolition lead ers by attending the polls against their ad vice, which resulted in their carrying the election ot that year. In December 1857, the Anti-Slavery men called a Convention, to determine whether they would vote for officers under the Lecompton Constitution. These former Abolition leaders succeeded in packing that Convention, and resolved not to participate in that election. The patriotic and loyal Anti-Slavery men pre sent, refused to be bound by such trickery; they wilhdrew, held another Convention, resolved to vote, nominated a ticket, and carried all the officers under the Lecompton Constitution. For their patriotic course we are well pleased to see, they have received a favorable notice in the message.
