A WOBJ) ABOUT THE TIMES. . For a couple mouths past, everybody has lu..n r.n.r,lainin4r of "hard times." and there r . . ... 4 41 lias been ample grounds ior 11. Aimubi me tjhere is a consistent disregard of the peo general gloom which is yet pervading all clas- pe manifested, a cool resort to trick, and an aea of community more or less, it is gratifying to see some signs of improvement in various quarters. Large sums ot specie bavc within a few weeks been received from Europe and California, and more is coming. It is con tended that, for all practical purposes, there is an abundance of money in the country ; cer tain is it, at all events, that those who have been hoarding, are beginning to look around for soma safe opportunity to invest it. The New York city banks last week held nearly $17,000,000 in specie, which is a much larger urn than they have had for many months ; tocks are rapidly advancing ; several large manufacturing establishments that had sus pended are about renewing operations; and the West is beginning to pour her immense srain crop into the eastern cities. The re ceipts of wheat at Buffolo alone, for the eight days ending Nov. 14, were 1,500,000 bushels. The receipts at Chicago averaged 100,000 bush els a day, w hich is being shipped to the east as fast as possible. This is the most favorable circumstance that we see mentioned. There is one thing, however, to be feared, and that is a too rapid advance in stocks. An excessive Inflation of stocks cannot fail to be followed by evil results, and it is, therefore, to be hoped that speculation in them will cease. Still, take them all in all, the signs aro cheering, and we hope soon to see the industrial in terests of the country restored to a healthy xand prosperous condition. In the meantime let all practice as much forbearance as possi ble, assist each other wherever they can, and be charitable to the poor and necdy New Vobk Crrr is a perfect Sodom of a place. Murder and crime of the most horri ble and brutal character prevail to a frightful extent. On the night of the 17th, a man named Vincent, the keeper of a drinking sa loon, was killed by three foreigners, in an at tempt to rob him. On the I9tb, two Spanish or Italian sailors entered a dance house on .Fatcr street, and drawing dirks, killed in stantly one man, mortally wounded another, named Kichard Barrett, from New Jersey, and a Scotch girl named Susan Derupsey, assault ed the keeper ot the house, and slightly wound ed another man. A man in the Bowery was btabbed by ruffians whilst defending Lis own house. In the upper part of the city, four or five ruffians drugged a young girl named Hosa Martin, dragged her into a lumber yard, vio lated her person, beat her insensible and left her for dead. A woman was stabbed by a bur glar, and another robbed on the street, in broad daylight, of her reticule, containing a ?50 cheok, and some other valuables. ' The Times axd the Printers. The pre vailing hard times are effecting the printers very seriously. During the past week we see mention made ol five or six newspaper sus pensions in different parts of the State, and others arc expecting lo do so. Tho cause of this is very apparent. Quite a number of ma nufactories have stopped, which has produced a scarcity of paper. Not only has the price advanced, but the dcalersand manufacturers require the cash with the orders. On the oth er hand, the printers arc receiving but little from delinquent subscribers, and the result is they are out of money, and cannot therefore get any paper. So stop they must. The pub lisher who will stand it through these hard time, must bs possessed of more than an or dinary "back-bone," and it should bo placed in s. museum as a vertebral curiosity. Tuk Apmixistbatio asp the Walkers. The course of the Administration in condemn ing Gov- Walker, of Kansas, for throwing oat the fraudulent Pro-Slavery vote, whije it con nives at the tscaps of CUibuster Walker, who it about to renew his piratical attempt to con quer and introduce Slavery into Nicaragua, shows a degree of consistency worthy of ..11 praise. The two acts ot mal-administration, overt and covert, serve to illustrate the poten cy of the Federal Government, under the rule of the Black Democracy, for evil, and its im potency for good. It is an all powerful des potism in frustrating the cause of Freedom in the Territories a rope of sand, when the slave Oligarchy sends forth its lawless bands for conquest. Teb Next Conckess. The elections for members of the House of Representatives are now over, and the result is the choice of 128 democrats, 02 Republicans, and 14 Americans, As the House consists of 231 members, 118 constitute a majority. The democrats have a clear mojority of 22 over both the the other parties, which will be increased to twenty-five at an early period of the session by the ad mission of three democratic members trom the new State of Minnesota. Wisconsin. The official and unofficial re turns from all the counties in Wisconsin elect Randall. the Republican candidate for Gov ernor, by 45 majority accotding to the Milwau kle A"ir, the democratic organ,' and by 219 according to the Republican count. ' The Re publican also elect most of the State ticket, sd hive both branches of the legislature. PL A IU TALK. GcU Forney, in his new Democratic paper, The Frets, is down "like a thousand ot brick" on the Kansas Constitutional Convention. We commend the following article from a recent number of bis paper to those who have hereto fore so vociferously denounced the Republi cans as"FreedoruShrrekers." :'. Wonder wheth er they will denounce Forney as a "shrieker" also. "We shall see what we shall see. m. , "The Last Xuws from Kass as. tne arm of all the news from Kansas, by mail and tele- graph, shows conclusively that the so-called pro-slavery Constitutional Convention, like otner oo.ues 01 wuom we uavc icuu, auv.uw. formidable instance of the adage that "whom r- ,- r5Sn ...Mor.t.,l . to that I - 4: .. 1 1... ; ...,,.n,l.r,l rnnru.

We give in another column some of the doings of this Convention ; and have only to say, that if the Constitution fabricated by thi3 body is sent to Congress, we trust that short work will be made of it. It deserves nothing but contempt. If it has a single merit, it is its consistency with the fraud and wrong which it is intended to perpetuate, and from which in great nart it has grown. The idea of a set of men chosen as delegates to this Con- venlion, attempting to bind posterity to their work, and daring to nullify in advance the will of the majority, is so monstrous that wc won der the outrage did not excite the whole peo ple to civil war. The usurpation becomes the more amazing when we reflect that these very men who are trving to fix upon the Territory the rule of a minority were vociferous in de nouncing the Topeka Constitution, which set out with asserting a similar principle, and was repudiated bv Congress and the country, "In speaking of doings like these, we feel that it is idle to mince phrases, and we sincere ly hope that if the Constitution of Kansas is anything like the instrument it promises to be, from the intelligence we lay before onr read ers this morniDg, it will, when presented to the Congress of the United States, be thrown out of both branches by a unanimous vote At any rate, we trust that the -Senators and Representatives from Pennsylvania will boldly and at once put their feet upon il, and spurn it as it deserves to be spumed Special Methodist Protestast Cosfer- rxcE. A special convention of delegates from the various Annual Conferences of the Metho dist ProtestantChurch, North and West, met at Cincinnati last week, when the following pre amble and resolutions, reported by a commit tee, w here adopted, viz : Whereas, We have received satisfactory information that an entire freedom' of disens sion on the subject of slavery cannot be njov ed in Lynchburg, and Whereas, we do not feel under obligations to meet our Southern brethren upon other ground tbm terms of equality, therefore, Rtsolvtd, lhat it is inexpedient, as well as unnecessary, for the representatives ot the North and West to attend the General Con ference to be held at Lvnchburg, with a view to secure a redress of the erievancos which we suffi-r. A memorial was also drawn un. addressed to . - r , , . " vv,tlv,Cl mui, a,mu; lI,cr things, says, "It is our earnest desire to per petuate a union with the General Association, but we must, in Christian frankness, state that insuperable impediments prevent the contin uance of that union:-that the traffic with slaves, and the voluntary holding ot slaves, conflict with the rights of humanity ; and we regard it as our bounden dutv, as ministers and members of the church, to oppose the said practice, and have determined that the word "white" shall be struck from our con stitution. The memorial was adopted. TnE ew Iork Election'. From the tone of the leading Republican journals of that State, before the election, we felt satisfied that they cared little about carrying New York this ! fall, as by leaving it go against them they would throw the responsibility of the required bank and tax legislation upon the Democracy, who have always made capital out of their po sition on those questions. The following par agraph froni a recent number of the Trilunt shows that our conjectures were not unfounded ; "We hear the result of our late election gen erally spoken of as disastrous to the Republi cans, but we do not so regard it. True, we lose by it, or rather, we fail to gain the man agement of the Canals, which has been a curse to ns whenever we have had it. Had we com pletely, unquestionably lost the Legislature also, it would have been a piece of rare good fortune. Let us only be fairly rid of all local responsibility anil power, and we shall bring distinctly into view that one great National is sue on which the understandings and tha hearts of the People are overwhelmingly with us. Had we lost the Legislature and the Ca nals last year, we should have carried the Stale this Fall by an ample majority.

Said Census was but partially tanen, many strong Free-State counties being utterly llCglVClUll or Ulllllltu i "UHt wn, a.vw..,. - so made as tD contain but few names besides those of known Pro-Slavery men. Even the I Mayor of Leavenworth. Henry J. Adams, one of tho oldest and best known residents of Kansas, was not registered, and hardly a pre tense of registering in Xawrence, xopewa, Osawatamie or any of the Free-State strong holds. IV. The law contained no provision by which those who were purposely or heedlessly omitted in the registration could compel the registering officers to place their names on the list. The orie-inal purpose of forming a list of registered voters in which a Pro-Slavery or National Democratic" majority should be certain, was hardlv disguised. V. The censes and Registry, such as they ivere. being nnisned, ana an a 1 wuruuuiutni of Delegates made thereon which rendered a rro-SIaverv triumph certain, tne r ree-atate men adhered to their original resolve not to countenance the bogus L'.-gislsture nor any of its fruits, and took no part in the oogus xiec tion that followed. Of course, the vote polled was very light hardly 3,000 in .all there being no inducement to bring over great num bers from Missouri and the 'National Demo crats" elected the whole sixty Delegates. This election took place in June last, but the Convention was not to meet till August ; and, when it did so meet, it merely apportioned its labors, appointed Committees, and adjourn ed over till the third week in Uctouer VI. Meantime, earlv in October, the regu- larTerritorial Election recurred, and the Free State men were induced, by the advice of their f riends in the States and the fair promises and professions of Gov. Walker, to waive their Free-state organization and lane part in tins election. To accomplish this end, uov. n spoke from place to place, assuring the people that they should have a fair election, 'and that, should any attempt be made to force a Constitution upon Kansas without submit tinz it to a direct vote of the feople, he would secure its rejection." ' VII. This Legislative election resulted in a decided Free-State triumph, the actual vote cast standing more than two Free-State to one National Democratic." By it, Marcus J Parrott. Free-State, has unquestionably been chosen Delegate to Congress. But the ""Na tional Democratic" taction attempted to up set this result as respects the Legislature by reiurning over fifteen hundred votes as cast on the second day at the little precinct ol Oxford, Johnson County, where no poll at all was held on that day, and no votes tuen UKen. The Judges of Election at that poll took good care not to be sworn, and do not appear even to have written down the names of the pre tended voters at Oxford, but in their Missouri homes, just across the border. The names of those bogus voters were copied, seriatim, iron, a Cincinnati Directory, Gov. Salmon P. Chase being one. These fifteen hundred votes, if counted, would have reversed the result in the great central district composed of Dou glas and Johnson counties (Johnson having been tacked on to Douglas for this very pur rose an1 thereby giving a ationa. Dem- I OVIUtlV IUH Willi ihivvi -. irislature. Like frauds werJ committed in gislature McGce, Marshall and other Counties, nut they did not r.fl'ect the result. VIII. Gov. Walker, having been formally apprised of this Johnson fraud, went pcrsona ly to Oxford, accompanied by Sec. Stanton, found the evidence ol wholesale villainy un mistakable, and rejected the return, thereby insuring a Free-State majority in the new Legislature, which is to meet on the 1st of January next. Uc says in his official reasons that he does this, though it turns the scale against "our party ;" and he was very active and officient in securing a "National Demo cratic" triumph in Leavenworth County, by means of Missouri votes polled at Kickapoo. IX. Under these circumstances the consti tutional Convention reconvened one month since at Lccompton. John Calhoun, U.S. Surveyor-General for Kansas, was its Presi dent. Many members hung back, and it was with difficulty that this body, elected by a handfull of votes in opposition to the known sentiment of Kansas, conld obtain and keep a quorum. Yet that Convention proceeded to frame a State Constitution for Kansas, and concluded its labors on Saturday, the 7th inst. TheConstitution so framed embodies the stron gest kind of a Pro-Slavery article, not only recognizing Slavery as legally existing in Kan sas, but denying to the Legislature or People power ever to abolish it. X. By a ''Schedule" appended to the Con stitution, it is provided that the Constitution so framed shall not be voted upon by the peo ple, who (should Congress accept it, as the President and Cabinet have already done) have no possible escape from or power to modily tnis uonsmntion prior to too; nor uiercaner iinlpsD two-thirds of tho. mpmhi'rs nf both Houses of the Legislature shall agree to sub- mit the call ot a Convention to the People; nor even then unlss "a majority of all the citizens of the State" (not merely a majority of all who actually vote) shall ratify the call. Practically, therefore, no change can ever be made in this Constitution so long as any portion of the Inhabitants desire to have it remain as now fixed. XI. A Constitutional Election is to bo held on the 21st of next month, but not to deter mine whether the people approve or disapprove this Constitution. On that point, they are not allowed to vote are allowed no voice j whatever. They are allowed to vote only for tno ''Constitution triA Slavery" or "Consti- tution vithout Slavery," as they may see fit But, should a majority vote for the "Consti- I union vitnout slavery mat ae$ not abolish !. r II 4 I I . m . it l or expei slavery, au me staves already in Kansas, with their offspring, are to remain slaves forever, and both the Legislature and the People are forbidden ever to pass any act or make any change in the Constitution which shall "affect the right of property in the ow nership of slaves.'? XII. The Legislature already elected bv the People of Kansas is stricken dead by this I Constitution. The power hitherto ' vestirl in the Governor to receive and canvass the voto of the People is taken from him and . ves- ted in "the President 'of this Convention " John Calhoun."

Official dispatches from the Utah Expedi tion, which have at length reached Washing ton, more than confirm the wort intelligence heretofore received from that quarter. Not only have a number of the supply trains been destroved not only is ColAlexander's de tachment in danger of being cut off; but the country between that and the main body of I troops is so infested with Mormons that Col. Johnston doubts his ability to communicate with Col. Alexander. Brigham Voung has is sued a manifesto which means war. He or ders the troops out of his dominions, but will feed them till Spi ing, provided that they will give up their arras and ammunition. The cool impudence of the latter proposal is quite equal to that which has characterized Gen. Walker's proclamation from lime to time. That the ad vance of the expedition is in imminent danger is evident. No wonder the Administration is anxious concerning the 'result ot a campaign which it seems to have planned fn disregard of the ordinary maxims of prudence. By the explosion of a steam boiler in Taige's foundry at Griffintown, Canada, on the 20th. the building was blown into ruins, one man killed and eight others injured.

A letter from Rapides, Louisiana, says in that and the adjoining parishes, sugar planters are all rolling now, and both the quantity and the quality of the article are thus lar satisfac tory ; but the tremendous decline in the prices of both cotton and sugar is a sad drawback on the schemes of expenditure which were enter tained by the planting interest.
