ATTEMPTED BURGLARY AT ASHLAND The
Burglars Shot by a WomGn.-The house of
DR.. Hodges Of Ashland was entered between
one and two o'clock this morning, during the
absence of the Doctor from town, by turning
the key to the front door with nippers. The
burglars went up stairs and selected consider
able clothing, which was carried below and
put into pile. They then collected various
articles of clothing in the rooms below, as
also vases and some fancy articles. Mrs.
Hodges was awakened, as she at first thought,
by the tinkling of a tea bell, but which was
probably the noise oceasioned by their moving
solar lamp with glass drops. She immedi.
ately arose and went to the stairs aud listened,
when she heard whispering in the room be.
low. She then went to her own room. took a
loaded gun, and returned TO the head of the
stairs, when she saw indistinctly the form Of
a man upon the first or second stair, coming
up. She asked, g What is wanteds - and he
replied, "Hold your tongue, or Ill blow your
brains out y upon which Mrs. Hodges fred
upon him, The only thing she heard him saw
was My God" The report of the gun
brought the neighbors to the house, but roth
ing could be found Of the burglars. There
wasblood on the stairs and floor, which prov
ed that Mrs. II. was not very wide Of her
mark, The rogues left behind paper upon
which was written the names of several citi.
zens, giving description of their houses, and
whether they kept dog or not. The wouads
on one OF the rogues, received from Mrs.
Hodges, will, we hope, lead to his detection.
Her spirited conduct is above all praise

"Many Members,' charging "gross fabrication
upon an article entitled "a Good Reply" which
appeared in the Spy Of the Oath ult.
Knowing, as do, most Of tho facts in the case

shat article TO say that il is strictly and literally
true.
Il should be borne In mind that about three
fourths Of all the votes cast for Recording seere-
tary we're for Mr. Lyon, notwithstanding that re.
ports Of great derelietion Of duty" on his part
had been heralded by the press through the land
previously to the meeting for the choice of off .

The MEssAeE.-The tone Of the Presidents
Message, in coming fully up to the latest and
saost ultra pro-slavery phase Of doctrine as laid
down in Mr. Buchanan's letter to the New Haven
fnemoriaiists, that the general government
should protect the shareholders in their claimed
right to hold their ''chattela'' in all the terrific.
ries, is the most palpable indication yet manifest
ed of the depth in deprayity TO which the modern
sssnadonal Democratic party, as represented by
the present administration, has become sunk
The doctrines advanced in the message, on the
sKanzas and slavery questions, and the arguments
adduesdiu support ofthe Lecompton swindle, are
such az should entitle Mr. Buchanan to be ever
hereafter remembered as having reached that
point, beyond which it seems Impossible for a
man to go, in defence Of the anti-D Democratic her
assies otslavery propagandism.
To- the specious augmentation ofthe Presi.
dent. in support Of his newly adopted policy Of
refusing to lat thepeople Of Kanzas have voice
in the adoption of their own constitution, and
claiming to supncrt his new theory by represent
ing itas consonant with the provisions Of the
Kansas Nebraska act, we deem the following ex-
tract from the Presidents own instructions to
Gov. Walker when the latter assumed the gov
eminent OF the territory, a sufficient reply:
when constitution shall be submitted to the
people Of the territory, they must be protected In
the exercise 81 their right Of voting for against
thai iastrwneat, and the fair expression of the
popular will must not be interrupted by fraud or
violence"
- Or, If thlsis not enough, although it is mere
repetition Of the language Of President Buchan-
ans own inaugural, we will quote in this eonnec
ticn from the central organ Of the administration,
the Washington Union, which spoke aby author
~" July 7ths last, in stating the position Of the
President at that time, as follows
n"Under these circumstances, there can be no
such thing ascertaiging clearly and aoitkosst
doubt tie soiii Of The people 10 any soog except bg
their Ocn direct expression of it at the polls.
constitution not subjected to that test, no matter
what Il contains, viii never be acknowledged by
its opponents to be anything but a fraud. A
plausible color might be given to this assertion
BY the argument that the members of the con-
fYventi0n could have no motive for refusing to
submit their work to their constituents, except
cohscicusness that the majority would con-
demn Il. We confess that we should find some
difficulty IN answering this. What other motive
could they have !" ~ s.
Let the organs of the administration which now
echo its views, get round all this if they can.

was editor of the London Morning Chronicle,
sydney Smith placed in HE hands the MS.
Of his subsequently world-renowned letter

value as well as a curious personal interest.
1t has one or two characteristic jokes, erased
by the author, as too broad. This autograph
excited the admiration of Boston gentle

INTERESTING FROM KANzAs-SPEcIAL SEES
SION OF THE LEGISLATURE CALLED-St. Louis.
Dec. 3.-The Democrat received Kanzas let
tiers tonight, containing two proclamations of
Provisional Governor Calhoun, specifying the
manner of elections on the Dist ult, for sub.
uniting the Constitutions and on the first
Monday of January for State officers and,
also, giving the names of the County Commls-
sloners for each county.
AT mass convention at Leavenworth on
the 9th ult., resolution was passed, re-
9uesting the Territorial Legislature to meet
at Lecompton Dec. 8. The resolution was
adopted, under the belief that acting Govern
or Stanton will recognize the Legislature so
convened. General Lane offered a resolution.
which was unanimously adopted, pledging
themselves, in case Stanton declined to con-
vene the Legislature, to put the Topeka gov
eminent in motion, and then stand or fall by
it.
Democratic Convention has been called
for the 2lst.
The Democrat learns, from private sources,
that Stanton has issued proclamation calling
a special session of the Legislature, to be held
on the 9TH of December

hANzAs-THE LATEST DoDGE. The editor
OF the Leayenworth Journal (pro- slavery has
arrived at Washington, and says that he and
his pro slavery friends, including Calhoun
himself, intend to vote for the free state clause
OF the constitution ("constitution without
slavery.") A letter from secretary Stanton
also states that from five to ten thousand
votes will be polled for the constitution, and
that there will be decided majority for
free state. Of course the bulk of these votes.
ii so many are returned, will be got up like
the Oxford returns at the last election-names
copied out Of some old city directory. But
this is sharp dodge of the pro slavery men
and the administration 1t will give the
northern democrats in Congress who went to
sustain the administration, a chance to Justly
themselves, by declaring that the question is
settled on the right side by the people of
kanzas, and that there is no ground for
vital issue upon the subject while at the same
time Calhoun will proceed to organize a pro-
slavery government, and send Pro. slavery
democrats to represent Kanzas in Congress.
The st. Louis Republican, always consistent
ly pro slavery especial defender of border
ruttiansm, cannot stand the Lecompton
swindle. 1t says:
"Under the pretenee of submitting the
question of slavery to the people. to require
every man to vote for the constitution. and to
swear beforehand to support it, is disgusting
compound of oppression and folly, the equal
OF which can hardly be found outside of
Kanzas-op oppression, in compelling men to
vote for what they may despise or abhor, or
renonnce their right of suffrage; and folly,
in supposing that they could enable the few
to subjugate and rule the many, by such a
despicable trick. That is not the way to gov
ern people in this country, and will no more
be submitted to, than would the prescription
OF poison. doctor who required mis- patient
to take his arsenic with bread and butter or
