our Judges, Sheriffs, Justices of the Peace
and private citizens, for acts required by
State Law. as oppressive. .tyrannical and un-

4. We insist that the lawful process by
the State Courts for the maintenance of
right, and fhe prosecution and punishment
of crime committed withiI the limits of
Ohio and against her sovereignty, shall be
executed without let or hindrance by federal
officials.
5. We deny the right of the federal

Slave act or any other act, to suspend the
writ of habeas corpus, or defeat its due exc

We condemn the doctrines of the majsr-

republican, anti-democratic, incompatible
with State rights and destructive of personal

8. We concur with vast majority of the
people of the free States, and with a re.

Power, in breaking down the barriers
against slavery extension provided BY the
wisdom of our fathers, and in forcing Slav-

disregard ofsettled national policy and plain
Constitutional provisions.

Latest from the Plains.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. ID.
The Kansas City Journal of Commerce
of the 9Th, says that Joseph Mageans,
trader to the Green River, arrived on
Tuesday, being the latest arrival from
Utah, Magean's account confirms the pre-
vious advices. He reports nearly all the
emigrant trains as suffering from Mormon
depredations, their wagons being burned
and cattle stolen.
Large quantities of grain and forage
stored at Fort Bridges were burned by
Mormons, to prevent their being purchas-
ed by the Government. They also burn
ed the grass on the route, beyond Fort
Bridges. The snow was three feet deep
on the mountains. The country was COW
cred far east of Bear River. Buffaloes
were abundant

ANOTHER Blow AT FREE KANSAS
The U. S. Land Office has been removed
from Doniphan to Kickapoo. The for
mer place has the misfortune, in the ad :
ministration eye, to be free state town,
whilst the latter is notorious for its pro
slavery frauds. This removal is pay in
hand from Mr.. Buchanan for the spurious
votes cast there at the last election. 1t is
evidently determined at head quarters that
Kansas shall be slave state if Executive
patronage and the control Of the land sys-
tenn can effect list. Louis Democrat

Rochester. Dec. 81

Our city was yesterday thrown into a
state of great excitement, by the discov-
cry Of the mangled, murdered body of
Chas. w. Little, lawyer in this city, in
the tennessee river, few rods below the
Falls. From the pools of blood and 9th
err evidences OF a struggle, the murderers
were easily traced from the place of the
fatal contest to the river, where they at
tempted to conceal the evidence of their
crime by sinking the body of their victim.
An arrest was made of his wife, her broth
cr, and several others of his relatives
From the evidence it appears that Little
and his wife did not live happily together
and that separation took place about a
year ago, but for the past month or two
they had lived together again. The evil
dence SO far, seems strongly against the
wife of the murdered man, and her broth
or, Ira Stout.

Col. BENTON WITH THE REPuBLICANs.---In a
letter from Col. Benton, written since his illness
which appears in the Lexington Observer, he
thus defines his position
For one, can give no political aid or comfort
to any man or party, in any future election who
shall uphold the opinion of the Supreme Court
in declaring the nullity of the Missouri Com
promise, and in decreeing the self-extension Of
the Constitution to territories, carrying slavery
with it, and preventing Congress and the people
of the territory from saying yea nay to its in

Gov. Walkers Resignation.

New YORK, Dec. 10.
Coy. Walkers letter of resignation adj
dressed to Secretary Cass is published
this morning. 1t is very long and ar
gumentary document, preserving
throughout courteous and decided tone.
He says there was clear understanding
between him and the administration that
the constitution should be submitted to
the people, and presents testimony to the
effect that his assurance to the people
that such should be the case was sane
toned by the President. Under these
circumstances, then, he argues, mas
much as he could not go back to Kansas
without fresh instructions, committing
him to new policy, which he had rep
rotated, he had considered the only al
tentative left to him was to resign.
He discussed at great length the ques-
ton Of popular sovereignty, and esteem
ed that the Constitution of the United
States is not sovereign, for it was created
by states, exercising for themselves that
political power called sovereignty.
For the same reason the government
of the United States is not sovereign,
nor does it exercise any sovereign power.
1t exercises only delegated powers defin-
ed by the constitution, and those powers
only which arc granted by that instru-
ment.
We know no sovereigns but the people;
all conventions are composed of dele
gates they are mere agents or trustees,
exercising, not sovereign buta delega-
ted power, and the people are the princi-
pals. The power delegated to such a
convention can properly only extend to
framing the constitution, but its ratifca-
ton or rejection can only be performed
by the power where sovereignty only
rests. in the people themselves.
In now dissoying my official inter-
course with your department, beg leave
to tender to you my thanks for your con-
slant courtesy and kindness.

following startling intelligence
A mass Convention was called to assemble

ted that Gen. Calhoun takes the position that the
members of the old Legislature hold over until
January, and that he has sent out a request that
these members be in attendance. And then the
Supreme Court of the Territory is to meet there
on to-day as is Judge Miller's Probate Court.
To add to the interest at Lecompton to-day

lowing letter to Lawrence, directed to Gen.
Lane. ! understand there is no question of its
genuineness

TINT Calhoun has sent out request to the mem
bers Of the Gil Legislature to meet here on Mon

threatened if you come to this place on that day
My advice to YOU and Mr.. Brown is to come

you no harm Be sure and get all the men at

repeatedly that blood would be shed in Lecomp-
ton to- day. He and Brown have both gone up,
but my opinion is that all will end in smoke,
though should Jones or any other man attempt
to carry out their threat, there is danger of vio
lence and it would not end with mere punish

RETRIBUTION.

During the rebellion of l74J, a party
of Cumberland's dragons were hurry
ing through Nithsdalo in search of rebels.
Hungry and fatigued they called at lone
widows house, and demanded refresh
ments. Her son, lad about sixteen,
dressed them up lang kaale and butter"
and the good woman brought them new
milk, which, she told them was ali her
stock. One of the party enquired, with
seeming kindness, how she lived Z q In
deed, said she, " the cow and the kaale
yard, wi Gods blessings a my nsaiteH.
He arose, and with his sabre killed the
cow, and destroyed all the kale. The
poor woman was thrown upon the world
and died Of broken heart--the discon-
solate youth, her son, wandered away
beyond the enquiry of friends, or the
search Of compassion.
In the Continental War, when the
British army had gained a great and
signal victory, the soldiery we're making
merry with wine, and reeounting their
exploits. A dragoon roared out;
a. once starved a Scotch witch in
/ Nithsdale. I killed her COW and de-
stroyed her greens, but, added he, she
could live for all that, on her God, as she
said"
And don't you rue it p demanded q
young soldier, starting up, don't you
rue II ?"
81 Rue WHAT" said be, " rue aughi Ike
that p
Then, by my God, cried the youth
unsheathing his sword, that woman wa
my mother. Draw, you brutal villain
draw s"
They fought. The youth passed BIZ
sword twice through tie dragoon's body,
and, while he turned him over IN the
I fhroes Of death, exclaimed. q Had you
rued II, you should only have been pun
isled by your God"
