CE Mr.. Mclean, the excellent editor of the
Terre- Haute Journal, made US a call yester-
day. This was his first trip to Evansville,
and we hope he will bear US out in some o.
our statements as to the improvements of this
city. Mr.. Mclean is one of the best looking
editors in Indiana, and one of the most able
and decent connected with the Old Line
party. We are sorry our engagements were
such as not to permit us an hour to spare t.
extend him few editorial ciyilities-but VIC
left him in good hands.

'sOur connexion with daily journal in San Francisco
almost since the establishment of the first post office enables

POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY.
II may be remembered by our readers that there
in Kansas Territory convention whose delibera-
tons look to the adoption of State constitution pepara-
tory TO the application 70 Congress for admission of Kansas
State into the Union Until recently had supposed
that the utmost harmony prevailed amongst the members
of this body especially in regard the doctrine Of popu-
lar sovereignty We learn however from the proceedings
of the convention they detailed by the correspondent
Of the New York Tribune that there anything but har-
mony in that body The following extract from his letter
of October &c win show how the principle Of the Kansas
bill regarded and from this pretty fair conclusion
be drawn TO the political complexion of the majority Of
the convention The extract is follows:
The convention called this morning. and, after
unmportan matters, resolutions &c, resolution in
oduced by of the delegates from Leavenworth endorsing
the Kansas Nebraska BILL he object of this endorse
the quater sovereignty feature supposed feature OF the
bill the resolution setting forth preamble very inteli-
gbe which urged the principle of the people of the
Territory governing themselves the friends OF the resou-
ton evidently accepting the opinion that the celebrated
ebraska bill really contained the principle of popu
lar sovereignty As this endorsement might mbody
than either this convention the people of Kansas might be
inclined support called up the first discussion that has
taken place, and elected little of the spirit Of the
on In order to understand the proceedings it
say know that there here who have favored,
and still favor the squatter sovereignty principle and
whom voted for the bill under this specou aspect of it,
The introduction Of the resolution called up what little OF
the old whg and democratic elements nger in this body and
little of the regard few Of those present have for
the administration in the hope that Pierca Co. will yet do
than they have DONE As the members of the
ton had altogether resolved in their minds ali the
aspects Of the matter and wished to be- careful what posi-
ons TAKEN amendments and resolutions to postpone
followed each other, add pretty equally balanced but
whenever the real question of endorsing the bill touch
cd evident that the convention would sustain it,
The spirit manifested is most healthy one for, while there
is perfect unanmy the subject of freedom for Kansas,
there careful guarding of all the separate interests of the
Territory The resolution stands indefinitely postponed, but
there is little doubt that the subject will be called up again
in some shape"
