Lectures.

GS- The Introductory Lecture Of the
series designed to be given during the
winter in this place, was delivered on
Friday Evening last, by Reverend Mr.
WEIeHr-subject, TEMPERANCE. We
were able to hear only a small portion OF
his address, and cannot, therefore, speak
of its merits.
The Lecture the present week will be
given by Rev. Mr.. ROBERTS, upon "Po-
li,ical Rights, as guaranteed by the Con
stitution."
We are lappy in being able to an
nounce that the Third Lecture of the
course will be given by Judge TABOR, Of
Independence. From the well known
abilities of the Judge. we think our clti-
zens may confidently anticipate an excel
lent intellectual treat.

MR. EDIroR A sad accident, result
ing in the death by drowning of son of
Mr. Heman MORSE, occurred here yes
terday. He broke through the ice on the
mill pond, while skating, and remained
in the water upwards of an hour. He
was a promising lad, aged 1 6 years, and
universally beloved.
Some difference of opinion is entertain
ed here among our merchants in regard
to the Dubuque Harbor scrip, and the
Cirlian this week contains card signed
by several refusing to take it. Others
seem to be glad to get it. The result
will be that those who take it will sell
the most goods, and as they can buy
anything with it in Dubuque, they will be
the gamer. Its issue must be regarded
as a desperate remedy for desperate d.
sease, and under the circumstances it
should be looked upon with favor by the
people. Considering the fact that the
Harbor Company were not the origina-
tore Of the scheme, and only ;oe,tod it at
the urgent request of the business men
of Dubuque, it can hardly be dcnomina-
ted as an attempt to swindle the commu-
nifty.

Walkers Letter of Resign alton.

FS Gov. WALKER has written a long
letter to Secretary CAss, resigning his
office, and giving his reasons therefore.
If any one wishes further evidence than
has previously been given, of the villain
Gus frauds perpctratei by the Democra-
cy upon the people of kansas-wishes
any further evidence than he already
possesses, of the completely of the al
ministration in these villainies--let him
read this letter Of resignation. Govern
or WALKER asserts that nine teen counties
out of thirty -four organized in the terri
tory, were entirely disfranchi scd by the
provisions made by The territorial leyisla-
ture for the election of delegates to the
constitutional convention, and that fifteen
of those counties, at later period, even
with six months qualification for vot-
ers, gave more votes than was cast for
the members of that convention. lie
says:
:" repeat, that in nineteen counties out
of thirty four there was no census. In
fifteen counties out of thirty flour there
was ,.~s:s.-,-, ~,.d no. a -elitery vote
was given or could be given for delegates
to the convention, in any one of these
counties. Surely, then, it cannot be said
that such a convention, chosen By scarce
iv more than one tenth of the present
voters OF Kansas, represented the people
of that territory, and could rightfully
impose constitution upon them without
their consent. These nineteen counties,
IN which there was no census, cons tituted
a majority Of the counties of the Terri
tory, and these fifteen counties In which
there was no registry, gave a much larger
vote at the October election, even with
the six months qualification, than the
whole vote given 10 the dele gates who
signed the Lecompton Constitution on
the 18th November last"
And yet this convention, known to the
administration and Gov. WALKER as hav-
ing been elected by fraud-by the dis
franchsement of a large majority of the
people, was upheld and protected by
them in its usurpation, even to the use of
Federal bayonets. This has been Dem
ocmtic rule in Kansas-this their exem-
plifcation of Popular Sovereignty,
The Governor, however, SAYS that he
looked upon the submission of the con
stituton to the people as the easiest, truest
and best remedy for these usurpations and
frauds, and as fully securing to the peo
pie the rights of which they had been
robbed. Whether this was the true
course or not, the governor has proved
that his convictions were honest bv his
consistent adherence to this requirement.
His letter teens with unanswerabe arru-
ments in favor of this remedy and this
right, and clearly shows theprevarcation
of the President. The lame attempt
which Mr.. CAss has made to answer him
proves his triumph and the administra-
tons imbecility.

FoRTY-SEvEN STATEs.-We take the
following from the Boston Journal:
Would any one believe, without look
ing into it, that we are in fair way of
carrying the number Of sovereign states,
originally thirteen now thirty one, up to
forty seven? But so it is. In the first
place, there are Oregon, Kansas and Min
nesota, whose constitutions are already
formed or forming. It's hoped that they
will be admitted the coming winter, max
ing the members of the confederacy thir-
tyfour. Then New Mexico, Nebraska
and Washington, already thriving terri
tories, will swell the aggregate to thirty
seven. Four new states to be carved out
of Texas, according to provisions in the
treaty of annexation, will give us forty
one. Two additional states demanded
from the area now included in California
would make forty three. Arizona, Neo-
sho, Dacotah, and Columbus Territories
carry us up to forty-six and Utah will
be forty seyen.

Es" Considerable indignation has been

OF which, of any importance, has pre-

mlttee on commerce, particularly, is IL
able to these animadversions three of the

from Southern States, which have few or
no commercial interests to foster The
commerce of the Great Lakes, co uallng
at present the whole foreign commerce
of the counry,-as well as that of the
Pacific, has no representative at all upon
the committee Messrs. Chandler, Doc
little and Wilson protested forcibly
against this sectionality, and even Mr..
Pugb, though announcing his intention
of voting for them as the nominations of a
Democratic caucus, pronounced them
signally unfair. Mr.. Wilson closed his
remarks as follows
Take the twelve or thirteen impor-
tant committees of this body, the only
committees that are of any importance
in the body, and but two are presided
over by Northern men. The organiza
ton of this Chamber, the organization
of the Government in each and every de-
partmert, is Pro- Slavery. But L DO not

fact now stands clearly revealed to the

SEYATE.--The various branches of the
Presidents Message were appropriately
referred
Mr.. Simmons gave notice of his inten-
ton to introduce home valuation BILL
Mr.. Stewart addressed the Senate on
the subject of Kansas.
He believed that the Convention in
tended a trick and fraud upon the people,
and expressed views in accordance with
those which Mr.. Douglas had previously
submitted.
He would never give his vote to con-
summate that frand which he believed
was to be the most enormous that was
ever undertaken to be practised upon the
people, under the forms Of law. He be-
lieved that ii this Constitution was forced
upon the people of Kansas, those who did
it would light the torch of civil discord
throughout the Union. They might cry
"peace, peace, but there is no peace
Mr.. Broderick said, while he agreed
with Douglass and Stuart and most of
their remarks, there was one point on
which he wished to say few words
When Coy. Walker and Secretary
Stanton went to Kansas, they found Il
State instruction there, and succeeded.
with great labor in restoring peace
Now he thought the President and his
Cabinet were alone responsible for the
late outbreaks. This was the first time
he had known the President to descend
from his high position TO attempt to coerce
peaceable citizens to the will of illegal
party men. He was ready to disagree
with his party, if necessary, and he be-
lieved he had rendered as much service
in the election of Mr.. Buchanan as any
gentleman on the floor He was also
somewhat astonished at the forbearance
of Kansas towards the delegates to the
Convention. If che people had logged
them, cut their ears off, and sent them out
of the Territory, he would have applaud
ed them for it. He would not make any
extended remarks but if the Lecompton
Constitution should ever be presented to
the Senate, he might have something to
say about il then. He would remark that
he was no Freesoiler in his own State.
Mr. Brown gave notice that he should
express his views after the holidays, but
would say now that if the late election in
Kansas was fair one, as he hoped it was,
in which all parties had been allowed
freely and without hindrance to partici-
pate, and Kansas should ask admission
as Free State, he stood upon the record
in favor of her admission. If on the
contrary she should ask admission as a
Slave State, he hoped his friends on the
other side would abide by their former
action and admit her.
