Upon the adjournment of the constitutional
Convention, President Calhoun made brief
speech in reply to a vote of thanks, in which he
made the following truthful admission -
"You have indeed, gentlemen, met under
most embarrassing circumstances. Elected in
the first place by small minority of the people of
the Territory, you have, since assembling, been
menaeed by lawless mob, which threatened to
dispense the convention and even to take your
lives. But needing neither their threats nor their
menaees, youhave gone onward upon The path of
duty"
Here we have the bold confession, officially
made, Of the truth of the charges of the gross
frauds perpetrated at the POLLS in the election Of
the members of the convention upon which was
TO devolye the important duty Of framing the
permanent, organic law of the Territory, after
it had assumed the position of State. Mr..
Calhoun eOnfesses his clique Of would be-ofi-
eials Of Kanzas are ready to confess themselves
to represent but miserably small minority Of
the people Of the Territory, and yet he is select
ed BY the President to administer the executive
affairs Of the Territory henceforth, until the DO.
gus Constitution Of which he is the principal
author shall go into operation, without any pres-
ious reference Of its provisions to the people and
against the general popular will. Such is the re-
gard for "popular sovereignty" manifested by the
administration at Washington.
OF the closing scenes OF the convention a cor
respondent Of the Cincinnati Gazette gives the
following scoOunt. which is corroborated BY the
correspondent ofthe St. Louis Democrat -
1.-THE vote for 6nal adjournment was taken ON
Sunday morning, at O'Clock. Before il was Al.
eided By the Chair, Henderson Of Leavenwoftb
rose and cried, Now, boys, let's have a drink ali
round y which was received with such vocifer.
ous applause that, though it is presumed the
President declared the CONVENTION adjourned,
nothing Of the kind was heard.
The rest Of the hours Of darkness, ell Sabbath
mornings sun, were passed in taking that
drink, and some more-and daylight revealed a
terrible strewing about Of the wreck Of the Con.
stitutional Convention"
The Lawrence correspondent Of the St. Louis
Democrat. recOunting the dOings Of the convsn-
tion, says -
This Il the greatest scheme OF the day. The
whole talent OF the dominant national party has
been called into the service, and they have been
paying us flying visits for the last SIX months,
md holding counsel with Walker upon the suresi
way 70 success. Whatever Walker NAV saw 70

HE INDIAN MAssAoREs AT SALT LAKE

correspondence I'll learn from an intelligent
gentleman, who has spent two or three years
among the Salt Lake Mormons fact or two,
tending to confirm the suspicion that the re-.
cent horrible massacre Of over 100 California
eInigrants by the Santa Clara Indians, was
perpetrated under the influence Of the Nor
mon leaders. 1t is evident that the savages
who perpetrated this outrage, are the same
band who cut off Capt. Gunnison and his
command, for they are the only band of In
dams at Corn Geek, who raise grain and
have it to sell; they are the same. also, who,
year or more ago, came very near massacre

Mr.. Burr, United States Surveyor General,
and their party, at the suggestion of Mormon
emissaries, went into the village a few miles
ahead Of them, and announced that the
Indian Rgent and his friends were coming to
arrest and punish them for Gunnison's MUIR
der.
On that occasion, fortunately. they were
accompanied by the war chief Of neighbor-
ing friendly tribe, who succeeded, with diff.
hculty, in satisfying the Indians that they
were on friendly visit l learn, also, that

DEMONSTRATION OF THE UNEMPLOYED IN
New YoRK.-The meetings OF the unemploy-
ed in the Central Park, New York. have been
rather violent and riotous, and the speeches
have been of an incendiary character. The
following account is from the Times
f'Some proposed that they should go and
drive away the 200 who were at work in the
Park, and take their tools and commence
I, work themselves. In doing So they claimed
, they would be acting properly, because every
body knew that they had forced the Mayor
and Common Council to put through the
$250,O00 appropriation for the Park, by
meeting, and petitionlng, and demanding,
while the men who were now at work had
done nothing at all. But others doubted the
proprety Of driving them away, fearing that
the consequence might be an entire stoppage
of the work for the Winter"
The following took place at the interview
between the committee and the Chief Engin-
eer
Then" said Mr.. Viele, 1--WE will give you
work at once. Come right along with me,
and will put in with gang at once and |
guarantee that each Of you shall have a dollar
a day in cash.
"Oh, no u answered the destitute commit
teemer; "we are the Representatives. of these
men,"
"1he representative of whom" asked Mr.,
v.
"Of these destitute men who want work
and we want to see them set to work before
we get it ourselves"
"Come along, come along, said Mr.. Viele,
ga man certainly owes duty to his family,
before any one else. If you are in need of
work, we will give 1t to you, there will be
three men relieved. just as fast as we can,
we will put others to work. and as far as that
is concerned, it will make no difference
whether you are at work or making speeches,
for the men will be put to work as fast in the
one case as in the other"
But we dare not do it, said the commit.
tee. We should be mobbed by these men if
we accept work while they are left without
it,"
"But they cannot blame hungry man for
going to work to get his bread when he has q
chance, said Mr. Viele.
