The MINORITY OF MINoRITY.-There is a
fine consistency in the proceedings of the
Kanzas convention in one respect. The con
lvention was elected by minority of the votes,
the constitution was adopted by minority of
the members, and it is to be forced upon the
people, only small minority of whom want
it. Calhoun, the President of the Conven-
ton, and the Regent Of the provisional gov
eminent, in his speech acknowledging the
vote Of thanks, said:
"You have, indeed, gentlemen, met under
most embarrassing circumstances. Elected in
the first place by small minority of the ter
ritory, you have, since assembling, been men
aced by lawless mob, which threatened to
dsperse the Convention, and even to take your
lives. But needing neither their threats nor
their menaces, you have gone onward upon
the path of duty"

COUNTRY PAPER.-Some of our 'sconserva-
tive city banks, it is well known, always
turn up their noses at country paper, i. e. at
notes payable at banks in the interior. Of all
institutions in the city, this class are now
deepest in the mire. The proportion of city
paper protested in October, as compared with
that payable in the country during the same
period, is as two to one. Our bank mana

Der that it is fundamental law in finance

BUFFALO, Nov. 21.-The storm of yester-
day and last nsght was very severe. The
amount of snow which fell was not large, but
it was drifted badly. The track of the Buffa.

falo and Black Rock, is SO badly washed by
the waves from the Lake that trains cannot
pass. The wires of both the Morse and Mon.
treal Telegraph Lines over the above road
have been completely swept awey. The
tracks OF the New York Central and Lake
Shore Roans are not INSTRUCTED by the snow,
and the trains are running regularly.
