two of the first, cs well as the most prominent
- amo ng them, having been rather busy advocates
of the most stringent " tuvis " (i. e., basis of union
between the .Associate Reformed and Associate
ebarches,) which was ever before the Churches.
In bygone days, when the Associate Reformed
'Church in the 'West bad nothing to offer her min
isters but small salaries and hard work., there
were no such desertions, She stood firmly on her
*an ground; her members were attached to her
Standards, and she laid no temptelons before
them to play:fast and loose with her Standards."
The Doctor, after intimating that the present
•it s t a mpede " is occasioned, in part at least, by a
want of entire harmony upon the attempted union
with the Associate, or Seceder portion of th e
41 Sootoh" family of Churches-as they are some.
times called—proceeds to give those who have
gone out '(mostly into the Old School
,connexion,
we suppose,) some parting advice. He Bays:
"They can hardly have so far, changed their
views, but that they still regard the ground mum
pied by the Associate Reformed Church in rela
tion to Psalmody, both safe and good, as well as
protltribl -;,;to men ; and they may, gsondstently
enough with their present relations, labor in their
new connexion, to bring the two Churches. to
the nearest possible conjunction and uniformity,'
on this subject.. The timeh' are favorable; there
Is a wholesome reaction in the Prysbyterian
Church,,so far as this matter is concerned. Their
new friends will not esteem them the leek,. but they
will respect them the more, if. they,. pip, them
unwilling to break, warily, with , their old
fri e nds." -
This is indeed excellent advice, and we Would
rejoice to see the bends of union drawn tighter
awl tighter between all.branches of, the Presby
terian family of churches; but we certainly do
not know what the bootor means by "re-action"
as above. This language does not apply, to the
Old School, if it implies any dissatiafaatioh with
our most excellent, Serfisturad book of. Psalms and
Hymns. There Is certainly, we think, no "re
action " with us.
There is at present something of a dearth of
religious news in our region. We hear of some
brethren who contemplate holding series of meet
ings, about the first of the new year—the indica
tions of seriousness seeming to dell for some extra
effort.
We road with deep interest your report of the
Convention of four Synods, at Pittsburgh. Our
prayer. in connexion with yours, was, s 4 Lord pour
oat of thy Spirit in mercy.upon the whole Church,
and graciously revue thy , work throughout all
our borders."

Congressional affairs were interrupted, last
week, by the announcement of the deaths of Sen
ator Butler, and Mr. Montgomery. It has be
come a habit in Congress; that the death of only
one member shall he announced in a day, how
ever many may hare deceased since the previous
meeting. The announcement is made early lri
the day; the other House is informed of the
event; eulogies are pronounced; and both Houses
adjourn.
Still, hosierer, this Congress 'opens With more
of a business spirit, than did Dome of ite , prede.
(lessors. Usually, nothing orimportanoe was at.
tempted till after , the holidays. ,„ Now, there are
already some important matters in progress.
The Committees, in both houses, are appointed:
We notice the name of Judge Douglas at the
head of the Senate's Committee on the Territories.
This is an indication that he has not yet, though
threatened with the calamity, been read out of
his party.
Mr. Harris, of the Union, has been cleated
printer to the Senate. This vote sustains the
President.
The Senate has called for all the correspond.
ence between the Governor' of Kansas and the
leads of Departments, since the last Congress.
This will exhibit, probably, the origin and pro
greas of the difference between the President and
Governor Walker—at their separition last Spring,
most 'cordial friend., and at their meeting this
Fall, though respectful toward each other, are
yet so alienated in sentiment that they can no
longer co-operate.
The subjeat of Chaplains to Congress , had be
come one of some embarrassment, and oft pro
duced things deeply humiliating. This year there
seems to be a change. No Chaplains are to be
cleated, but the services Of City Clergymen are
accepted; some thirty Protestant ministers hay
ing united In tendering themseli4 'Cor the put.
pose.
Mr. Green, of Mo., undertook, in the Senate,
the defense of the President's' Kansas measures,
in an able argument. Judge Douglas replied
with much vigor. In the House, Mr. Cox, -a
Democrat frbm Ohio, assailed the Message, ,and
Mr. Hughes, of Ind., responded. , These speeches
all (same out on the motion to print the Message,
and may be regarded but as a prelude. The
grand controversy belongs yet to the future.
The proposition to raise $20,000,000 for the
public service, by the issue of Treasury notes,
has been brought before both Houses. It will
doubtless pass. The money is greatly needed.
The receipts fall far short of the wants of Gov •
-
ernment. This state of things is regarded by
the tariff men as peculiarly favorable to them.
Several 'of the leading journals have had articles•
on the snkiect, and none need be surprised that
it is brought before Congress.
Official information has been received from the
troops sent toward 'Utah. They are one thou
sand eight hundred in number, and have been
mach annoyed by the Mormons. Two of the
wagon trains have been burned, and three droves
of cattle, eight hundred and ten in number, have
been driven off. Surely, we think,.most of them
ought to be recovered. But the things burnt
cannot be restored, and the men are likely to
have hard times wintering in the mountains,
where snow was already abundant. Government
seems to have miscalculated the strength and
courage of the foe. That the Merino& should
become assailants, waging war against the'United
States, is but an exhibition of the irrationality
of fanaticism. Various plans have been euggest:'
ed of raising a force for the Spring campaign.,
The President asks some new regiments. Others
suggest a large volunteer corps from the West,'
embracing the Indians. The Californians have
written letters to Senator Gwin, asking authority
to organize some regiments of volunteers there,
for an early attaok'from that nide'of the country.
Ways and means will not be wanting.
An Eanabling bill has been presented in , the
Senate, by Judge Douglas. It is the Toombs' bill
of last year, which then passed the Senate, but
was lost in the House. It provides for a Con
vention in Kansas, to form a State Constitution;
with a clause affirming that the Constitution
shall be submitted to a popular vote, and shall
be approved by a majority, before being sent to
Congress for notion there. The want of such a
clause prevented its adoption when formerly pre
sented to the House. The same bill is also now
before the House, so that both branches may de
liberate upon it at the same time.
Acting Governor Stanton's Message to the new
Legislature, in Kenna, has been received. It is
a temperate document, evincing much prudence.
Be gives, as a reason for the calling together of
the Legislature, the excited state of feeling in
the territory, from the proceedings of the late.
Constitutional Convention. lie says that Dele
gates were elected by but nineteen Counties,
while the same number of Counties, containing&
larger population, were prevented from voting by
having been neglected in the registration.;
hat even of those registered, only two thousand
two hundred, less than one-fourth, voted. He
disapproves of the course of the majority of the
people in then refusing to vote, add attributes to
that refusal the evils now upon the territory.
But still, he does not consider a convention so or
ganized, as embodying in itself the sovereignty of
the people. He Bays:
In its very nature, that sovereignty which erects goy
ailments and endows them with their legitimate powers,
can he exercised only by the people themselves. It is in
capable of alienations, and is as inseparably inherent in
tbe body of the people, ber are personal identity anti lode
pendant will. in each Individual. The people cannot divest
themselves of it, any mere than an individual tan divest
himself of his own moral responsibility.
While he thus maintains the sovereignty of
the people, he advises that the Legislature shall
not repeal the law Made by their predecessors,
and which has already been partially executed,
in the aseemblin'g of the Convention, and in their
acts ; bit that they shall provide for a fair elec
tion on the constitution mibmitted, and let the
sovereign people say, not only in which form they
would prefer to have it, bdt also to say whether
they will have it at all. He thinks that thus
there Might be bad a fair,-expression of opinion.
But the great event of the week was, the us.
stost4irrort af Governor Walker. The Governor
finding that his views respecting the duties of his
office, and those of the President had become
exceedingly diverse, left the territory, some weeks
ago, and came to Washington. A number of long
and earnest conferences failed to bring either to
the sentiments of the other; and as it was thus
found to be impossible for the Governor, under
his sense'of diity to the people of the territory, to
execute the will of the President, he tendered his
resignation.
The Governor's resignation is accompanied by
a long and very carefully written letter. As this
letter is the production of a gentleman of 'pre
eminent ability and acknowledged integrity, one,
selected by the President out of his own party,
and professes to give facts, and as the President's
views were given in full, it may be but yielding
to the claims of justice to lot our readers know a
few, at least, of the facts and reasons which have
influenced the resignation. They belong to an
honestly written history of the times. He says
I accepted, however, on the exprees condition • that I
should advocate the submission of the constitution to the
vote of the people for istification or rejection- These views
are clearly understood by the President and all hie Cabinet.
They wor e distinctly eet•forth in My letter of acceptance of
this office, on the 20th of March last, and reiterated in my
inaugural address, on the 27th of May last, as follows :
"Indeed, I cannot doubt that the convention, after having
framed a State constitution, will submit it far ratification
or rejection by a majority of the then actual bona-ilde resi
dent settlers in Kansas." With these views, well known
to the President and Cabinet, and approved by them, I ac
cepted the appointment of Governor of Kansas. My in
structions from the President, through' the Secretary of
State, under date of the lath of Marsh hat, eustain "the
regular legleisture of the Territory, in anietubling a;con
vention to form a constitution," and they express the opin
ion of the President, that' "when such a constitution shall
be submitted to the people of the Territory, they must be
protected in the exercise' of their right of voting, for or
against the instrument, and the Air expression of the.nop
ular w il l must not be fratekrupted by fraud or violence."
In my official dispatch to you of the second or June last,
a copy of that litaugus al address was transmitted to you
fOr the further information of the president and hie ;Oab•
bet.. No , exception was ever taken so any portion of that
address. On the coOtriFy• it Is distinctly admitte4 by the
President in his meeeege, with commendable frankness,
that. my Instruction! In favor of the eabinission of the
c.onetltution to the vote of the people were " general and
ungnallaed.7
, .
It will not be,denied that:sovereignty is the only power,
that ban make State constitutions, and that it rests exclu
sively With, the people; and if it Ij/inalienable, and cannot
be dolegateh, as I have shown, then' it' can only be tzar
cieed b y the . Rople themeelves. Under our government, we
knni no sovereigns but 'the people. Conventions are coin
potted of delegates." They are mere agents or trustees, ex
ercising, not a eovereign, but a delegated power, 'and the
people are the prinakpals„ The power delegated to such
conventions can properly extend only to the framing or the
constitution, but its ratification or rejection can only be
performed by the power where sovereignty alone rests,
ntitnily, , ,theysfopin
* * * *
That convention (the Lecompton,) had vital, not techni
cal, defects in the very substance of its organisation under
the territorial law, which could only be cnred, In my jut*
meet, as Set foith ' in my inaugural and other addressee, by
the submission of the constitution for ratification or rejec
tion by the people. On reference to the territorial law, un
der which the convention was assembled, thirty-four regu
larly organised counties ware named es election districts,
for delegates to the convention. In each and all of these
counties it was required by law that a census should be
taken, and the voters registered; and when this was-com
pleted, that delegates to the convention should be appor
tioned accordingly. In nineteen of these counties, there
was no census taken, and therefore there could be no such
appointment there or delegates, based upon aut h census;
and in fifteen of Shone counties there was no registry of
voters.
These fifteen counties, including many of the oldest or ,
ganised counties of the territory, were entirely disfran
chised, and did not give, by no fault of their own, could not
give, a solitary vote for delegates to the convention.
* *
I repeat, that in nineteen counties out of the thirty-four
there was no lumens; and in fifteen countiee out of the
thirty-four there was no registry, and not a solitary vote was
given, or could be:given, fur delegates to the convention, in
then counties. ;
gnrely, then, it cannot be said that such a convention,
chosen by scarcely more than one-tenth of the preeent
voters of Kansas. represented the people of that Territory,
and could rightfully impose a constitution upon them
without their consent.
After noting the great excitement, and the im
minent danger of a civil war, he says:
In truth, I had to choose between arrestinrtbst berm
notion, at whatever cost of American blood,. by the Fed
mil arms, or to prevent the tetrible' catastrophe, as I did,
by my pledge to the people of tho exertion of all my power
to Obtain a fair 'elestiou, and the Submission of the condi
triton to a vote of the people for ratification or rejection.
Not a drop of blood has been shed by the Federal troops
in Kansas, during my administration. Bat Insurrection
and civil war, extending, I fear, throughout the Country,
were *lone_ prevented by the course pursned, by Me on there
occasions. and the whole people abandoning their revolu.
Bouncy violence, were induced by me to go, for the first
time, into a general and peaceful election.
Inasmuch, however, as this difference is upon a vital
quef tion, #usolving practial results and new instructions,
it is eertainlymmeh more'respectful to the Preside : MC . on my
pert, to resign the office of GoVernor, and give him an op
portunitv of filling it, as is his right under the. constitu
tion, with one who concurs with him in his present opin
ions, rather than to go to Kansas andieree him to remove
me by disobedience to his Instructions. This latter course,
in my, judgment, would be incompatible with a proper
res Peat for the chief magistrate of the Union—ineorststent
with the rules of moral rectitude or propriety—and could
be adopted with no other view then to force the President to
remove me from office.
Such beiag Governor Walker's view of the ease,
it was but his duty to resign; and, however men
may think of his firmness in declining to execute
the wishes of the Executive at Washington, they
must, Contemplating his instructions, and the
promises be made to the people under those
instructions, admire his consistency. From the
clear import of hie pledges he could not and would
not depart.
It seems strange that the Government agents,
sent to Kansas, are compelled so soon to I.i:tendon
their post. In some five years of the distence
of the territory, there have been four Governors,
all of whom have fallen into disfavor, or been
compelled to resign. And three of these were
Pennsylvanians, (Walker was bred and born in
that State.) And there have been several Secre
taries in the same predicament. However it may,
be accounted for, it yet proves • one thing—there
is not that love.of place in appointees of the
Government whioh is sometimes charged. There
are men who accept office, who are possessed of
integrity; and of such it behooves every good
citizen to speak well, however diversified may be
their party predilections.
The Treasury note bill passed the Senate, by a
vote of thirty•one to eighteen. It authorises the,
issue of scrip, to the amount •of $20,000,000,
bearing such interest as the Department may find
needful; not to exceed six per vent. The act is
limited to January Ist, 459, notes to be less than
$lOO, and may be reissulik,l They are receivable
for all debts due the Governibent. In the Heise
the Opposition talked much about Governmental
extravagance, the suspension of specie payments,
and the large amount asked for, some thinking
that $10,000,000 would be a sufficiency. But the
bill passed by a vote of one hundred and eighteen
against eighty-six. •
A resolution has passed both Houses providing
that members shall be paid at the commencement
instead of the close of the session; and $260 each
per month during the session.
It was also resolved, that after the adjourninest ,
on Wednesday (23d) there should be a rebess till
Monday, the 4th of iannary, 1868.
The Western Division.
The Western, or Pacific, Division of the United
States is rapidly rising in importance. The
adoption of a Constitution by Oregon will doubt
less soon be followed by its admission as a State.
Then there are the Territeries of Washington,
and Utah, and the applications for the new Ter
ritories -- of -Arikonia and Carson, Valley. , These
being all received, would give four votes in the
THE PRESBYTERIAN BANNER AND ADVOCAT_t.
Senate, and some eight; or ten in the House ; af
fording quite an influence to the region.
Then, on the social! question, the indications
are very decided for freedom. Slavery is now
excluded from almost the whole coast, that is,
from the Southern border of California, at 32i
degrees, to the Northern line of Oregon, at 46 ;
and into the remaining three degrees, reaching
to the 49th parallel of latitude, which is our
Northern boundary, it is not likely to find access.
If nothing else could prevent it, the frost would.
The refusal of the Slavery clause in the Consti
tution of Oregon, seems, as tar as the returns are
received, to have been very decided. The vote
reported is more than five to one. This is the
more to be noticed, since Missouri, Kentucky,
and the other Western Slave States are thought
to have furnished, as they did to California, the
majority of the early settlers.
But Oregon has excluded free. Negroes by a
vote equally decisive. Regarding this, the San
Francisco Bulletin says: •
" The vote excluding free Negroes may be Crit
icised in some quarters. Our feeling is favorable
to the policy' of keeping all inferior races of peo
ple from a free State. It is much better to keep
them away than to let them come, and deprive
them of all civil rights and power of defending
themselves or property, as is done in California.
Every man who comes should stand on an equali
ty in the eye of the law.> And as circumstances •
manifestly prevent free' Negroes from ever occu
pying any such positionin - thecUnited State's; the
best and honeetest plan is to prohibit their 'coin—
ing altogether."
Several of the States of the Union have a aim-
filar provision ; but there is a something about it
which renders it, for the moat part, a dead letter.

"Mr LORDS AND Gamma:sun—Circumstances
have recently arisen, connected with the commer

liament together b'efore the usual time. The fail!.
We of joint-stock Banks, and of some mercantile
firth's, hive Produced' such an' extent
, of ,distrust
as led me to authorize Ministers to rhbOmmaid

of proceeding which appeared necessary for allay
ing the prevalent alarm. As that course hoe
involved a departure from the existing law, a bill
for indemnifying those who advised and those who
adopted it, will be submitted for your considera
tion. I have observed with great regret that the
state of commercial transactions in general boo
occasioned a limitation of employment in manu
facturing districts, which I fear cannot fail to he
attended with much local distress. I trust, how
ever, that this evil may not he of long duration,
and the abundant harvest with which it has
pleased Divine Providenoe to bless this land, will,
I hope, in some degree mitigate the sufferings
which this state of things must unavoidably pro

have been opposed to greatly superior numbers,
without the aid of the powerful reinforcements
dispatched from this country to their assistance.
The arrival of those reinforcements will, :I trust,
epeedily complete the suppression of this widely

After still further eulogizing the gallantry of
the troops, the speech obntinues :
"It is satisfactory to know that 'the general

of John and Ellen Mitchell, in her 15th year.
Her death was sudden, and unexpected to t all
around her, until a few hears hefore she expired.
In her death, her parents have been called upon,
in the providence of their heavenly Father, to
mourn over the death of a beloved daughter of
great promise. Bat' they have the consolation
that she was a child of the'ooverient, and she
left them the consoling evidence that. their loss is
her gain. Shortly before she expircid, her
mother asked her Which shg prefeired:lifi or ,

help me to think." Br ought up "in the nurture
and admonition of the 1"..0rd," she became a child
of reading, meditation, and prayer, as she testi
fied at an early age ; an d as death drew near, she
prayed fervently that G ,d would be merciful to
her, a sinner, and that she might be prepared
for heaven, and then calmly and sweetly expired.
" From adverse blasts and lowering storms
Iler favored soul he bore;
And with you brigbt, angelic forms,
Shit lives to die no more."
This stroke has been the more deeply felt, as
the parenta, bur nineteen menthe previously, had
a son of eqaal promise removed by death in the
twelfth ye s r of te-s age. "My grams is sufficient
for thee."
