les I'm Kansas.

The New York Observer, the great organ OF
the Presbyterians in this country, and one OF
the best Of our religious journals, speaking
of the assassination Of JONES, in connection
with the celebrated New Haven meeting,
says -
"Pfolessr Silliman and Mr.. Dutton may
disavow having given any advice that can
be constructed into encouraging men to vio-
Ience, (Mr. Beecher cannot but the inAu-
ence of the rifle meeting at New Haven, and
of the incendiary speeches elsewhere on the
same subject, has been toinilame the minds
of the. s.coonists and to prepare them for
deeds of blood. The cOunsels Of these advo.
Gates of the rifle have not been peaceful and
such as become the gospel. And If unedu-
Gated and impulsive men in Kansas, where
the restraint of law is weak. are tempted 10
90 beyond the advice of the New Haven
meeting, even to the murder OF a sheriff,
who will not say, that in the eye OF heaven a
terrible responsibility rests on those who
advised the Kansas emigrant to go with arms
in his hand, to take possession OF the soil oil
his own county?
oIn the New Haven meeting, when one oI
the donors of a rifle, was announced by the
name Of 'Killam,' enc of the Clergyman
cried out: 'KilIdm! That's a significant
name;' and The walls Of the house OF Goo
rang with applause of the infamous, murder
GUS comment. That single fact was enough
as it was spread over the villages OF newly
settled Kansas, to tell the people that Chris
tian ministers in New England, and Chris
tan people crowding the churches, wer
willing to applaud the sentiment Of mur
der!
. "On the authors OF such atrocious senti
ment rests the responsibility of the bloc,
that follows their promu LEGATION. The bes
, authorities assured us that Kansas was be
coming quiet, and the in cendiary appeals c
these fanatics in the East are TeaChing tl
West and stirring up the people again
o deeds Of violence. Thus the cause OF free

m5nt is liable TO be brought into disgnC

speech deuouncing the assassin, and decla

up the galleries with the balance OF theil
friends, to the exclusion Of the press and
every body else. Somemembers from other
States desire the admission of gentlemen
from The district of Columbia, Ofwhom there
| is large number present Mr. Petit OF
Indiana, said that one important reason why
the Convention was called at this place,
was to get rid of the undue influence OF Of
fee holders and others at w ashington.-
But those gentlemen have demonstrated
that they can travel as well to Cincinnati as
to Baltimore. Every proposition for crowd
ing out those who already hold tickets to the
gallery has been laid on the table, or voted
down. Col. Black, of Pa, who is a fine
looking man and might possibly attract their
attention, was in favor Of admitting ladies to
the front gallery seats but even this mo-
tion of the gallant Col. met with no favor.
The Convention met again this P. NJ. but
nothing was done. 1t is doubtful just now
whether vote can be had on the candidates
before Thursday. An informal vote was
taken by the Ohio delegation, this morning,
which resulted-Buchana %, Pierce Z,
Douglas9. 1t is very evident that some Of
the delegates will vote directly against the
wishes of their constituents. Douglas men
have acknowledged to me the fact. Nine
teen twentieths of the Ohio Democracy pre-
fer Mr.. Buchanan, while nearly one half o
the delegates are determined to go for Pierce
and Douglas! The people will have reck'
oning with traitorous gentlemen "some o
these days"--but of that, hereafter.

GCE Judge Mclean has been defining his
position in regard to slavery in the terrific
ries. His views are thus stated by a cor
respondent of the National Intelligencer!
"That Congress has no power to institute
slavery in territories, and. a Jortiort, cannot
delegate that power to territory, and that
a territorial government cannot exercise
that power and hence it results that sla'
very cannot lawfully exist in territory sc
long as it remains in territorial condition
except in the case ofterritory in which that
relation exists at the time of its acquisi
ton and in such a case Judge Mclean
holds that Congress, in the exercise of po-
lice power, may regulate and prohibit thai
relation in its discretion"
This exposition of his honor's views leaves
him eligible for the Black Republican nom-
ination, and from present appearances it is
not unlikely that he will recelveit

The st. Josephs correspondence OF the Re.
publican, writes that on the night Of the 81,
the house of Jacob Friend, four miles from
that place, was burned, together with his
wife and five children. II is supposed they
were murdered previous to burning the house
but all is involved in mystery.
Friend was a peaceable and orderly man
and there is no reason to be assigned for the
bloody deed.
The Republican also pablishes the Consti-
tuition of Deseret, recently formed and ratl-
fed by the people at a general Convention
at Salt Lake City, on the 9th of April.
1t is exceedingly brief and plain. 1t says
nothing about slavery, announces free tol-

Mr.. Ward on being conducted to the chair,
addressed the Convention in brief and per-

ding officer, prompt in his decisions and un-
finching in his duties. The Committee on
credentials reported that the Benton, (Mo.,)
Delegation, not being able to produce any
prima facie evidence that they were dele
gates, had been rejected. The N. Y. Del
egations, both coming with prtmd fdcie ev.
idence of their right to seats, have not yet
had their case decided. If proper spirit
of accommodation prevailed among them
their difficulties might be compromised, bu
the Hards are determined that the Conven

Brooks Challenges wilson.
WAsHINGToN, MaY a

WASHINGTON, May ~.
Gen. Lane Of. Oregon was the bearer OF a
challenge from Mr.. Brooks to General vii.
son, this morning.
Gen, Wilson, it is aid,repled that he us.
ed the language complained Of, because he
at the time believed and now believes it
strictly true, and demanded by the charac.
tef,of the assault on Sumner. He saws he is
not dueling man, but he will use whatever
language he thinks proper in debate, and If
assail ed knows how to defend himself.
Mr. Brooks has given notice to Gener al
Webb that his letter in Tuesdays Courier
is satisfactory.
All excitement in the matter see ms 10 have
ceased, except what is connected with the
present challenge.
The ollowing are the main features of
the correspondence between Brooks and
Wilson,
Brooks omplains that Wilson spoke of
his attaCt on Sumner ds cowardly. 81 there.
fore hold myself at liberty, by this note. to
request that you will inform me where, out.
side this District, further note will reach
you."
Gen. Wilson replies, that he characterized
on the floor OF the Senate, the attack upon bis
colleague as brutal, murderous and cowardly
81 thought so then," he continues; "I think
so now. have no qualifications whatever
to make in regard to those words. have
always regarded dueling as the lingering reiict
of barbatous civilization, which the law
of the country has branded as crime.---
While, therefore, ,religiously believeing in the
right of self defense, in its broadest sense, the
law Of my country and the matured convic.
tions Of my whole life alike forbid me to meet
you for the purpose indicated in your let
teT."
No apprehensions exist Of any assault on
Wilson or his friend.
