To our old friend O. T. Keller, of Column
bus, Miss, we return thanks, for a copy of
his Almanac for 1853. 1t is good work,
and as it is for gratuitous distribution, we
would think that it should be universally pop
ular as an advertising medium. Friend K.

as we'll as Auction and Commission Merchant,
and good one at that.

Constitution adonted bv the Lecompton Con

Constitution adopted by the Lecompton Con-
vention, should have the slavery clause con-
firmed, at the election that was to take place
on the 21st inst, which will be done if the
free State men refuse to vote, and it is very
likely they will. and it comes up to Congress
for adopted, with that clause attached, just 50
sure viii it be rejected. What then That
the slavery clause win be the cause of its re-
lection, by Congress- is self.evident. The
Union party of Mississippi, in Convention
assembled, declared that in the happening of
such contingency, it would be sufficient
cause for resistance What contingency
That of rejecting State Constitution, because
of its adopting or rejecting slavery. Would
then the rejection of the Kansas Constitution,
under the circumstances that at present exist
in that territory, cover the case? We ac-
knowledge our present inability to answer
satisfactorily to our own mind, but rather
think not but there are many that are ready
to answer that it would. Such being the
case then, it has the appearance to our OBJ
scure vision, that by refusal to submit the
whole Constitution to vote, that the proceed
ing Of itself is likely to be productive of
dissolution of the Union
What think you? Although Mr.. Buch-
anan's position may be tenable still, in view
of his instructions, the evident determination
of his administration to abolitionize Kansas,
is not his present position mere subtezfuge.
behind which to screen his cowardly retreat
Then without pursuin the subject farther at
present, we would be pleased to be informed
which horn of the dilemma to hang our hopes
upon; that of submitting part or the entire
Constitution. We fear that the submission
of part will be the inevitable cause of bring
ing about the heart felt desire of both States
Rights men and abolitionist, whilst the sub
mission of the whole could do no more. We
hope for speedy settlement of the question
some way, and if it is to be achieved at an
earlier day by the submission of only part,
as one would infer from Buchanan s reasoning,
that is the policy for US, but, if on the con-
trary, the submission as an entierty at the
present time would have been the more judic- |
ious course for an early settlement, we would
have greatly preferred such course, We
await developments impatiently, at the same
time, we would warn our democratic friends |

The PRESIDENTS MEssAGE-In accord
arsce with time-honored custom with the
press, we lay before our readers to-day, the
first regular message of President Buchanan.
We have read it through force of habit, as
well as through compulsion, and We give it as
our conviction that ADLER State papers have
made their appearance and have long since
been forgotten, that emanated from men of
far less reputed intelligence. Il l. true, that
it is passable Message, and will take rank
among the Presidents Messages of the Uni
ted States, but it viii turn no creeks, nor will
it set the woods on fire.
We looked forward to its reception as being
the time, above all others, when the Execu-
tive would make his mark, and that the as
tuteness attributed to him, would be so adroitly
used, as to leave no trace whereby the South
could have a good and sufficient reason for
objecting, in any manner, to the leading prin-
ciples set forth in that instrument, but in ac-
cordance with our judgment, it is no great
shakes after all. We have not the space,
nor have we the inclination to-day to enter
upon and discuss any of the enunciations it
contains consequently, we merely give it to
the reader, with the promise to give it such
treatment as its merits deserve in future.

$50 men entirely unmolested.
The Fashion passed under the stern of the

wharf.
Walker sent fifty men up the river in diff
ferent routes.
The Fashion had arrived at Aspinwall, and
was taking on coal when Commodore Pauld-
ing attempted to seize her, but on examina-
tlon found her papers to be correct.
British and American forces have sailed for
San Juan, but it was supposed that the diff

would be settled without resort to arms.

WHAT DEMocRAcy HAS DoNE.-The
Baltimore Clipper very properly asks, what
has Democracy done for the country, that it
should aspire to rule its destinies. 1t has In
undated the nation with foreign fanatic, felons
and paupers. It has deprived opertives Of
the means Of earning an honest livelihood.
It has produced destructive financial panic
generated bread riots, and endangered the
safety Of the public funds. 1t has embold-
ened foreigners to demand that they shall be
supported at the public expense-and il is
leading to anarchy, bloodshed, agrarianism
and ruin. The State Of Maryland may Be
saved from these dreadful consequences, be-
cause Democracy has been put down, and
foreignism crushed out BY the American
spirit But in New York, where the foreign
element still reigns triumphant, nothing less
than che military power can protect the peo-
pie il their rights, Or prevent the triumph Of
violence.

FROM KANsAs.-A correspondent of the
St. Louis Republican, writing from Lawrence
under date Of the LIST inst, says he is informed
by leading Free State men, that the members
of the Free State party will not participate
in the vote on the Constitution. There is
great excitement in the State. Vigilance
Committees have been organized in all the
principal towns. They (the Free State men)
intend to lynch the members of the Lecomp-
ton Convention. They intend then to set the
machinery of the Topeka Constitution in mo-
ton.
A mass meeting held at Leavenworth re-
quested the members of the Territorial Leg
islature to convene, and asked Stanton to
convoke the body by proclamation They
also resolved, that in case Stanton should
refuse to comply, no other course would be
left than to put the Topeka Government in
operation
A majority of the members of the Terrific
rial Legislature had signed document asking
Stanton to convene the Legislature in extra
session.
ADelegate Convention was to meet in Law
renee on the I'd.
The Territorial Committee, consisting Of
twenty five persons, the State Central Conn
mittee, with twenty members, and the Ter
ritorial Vigilance Committee, of twenty five
members, will all be In session, and will act
together. 1t is also understood that all the
Free State members of the Legislature will
also be there and In session at the sarne fine

The Great Defalcation.

The telegraph brings us word from Columbus
that Mr.. Gibson has resigned his place as State
Treasurer, on account of great detalca ton
amounting to more than half million of dollars.
Mr.. A. P. Stone, of Columbus, has been APP
pointed BY the Governor to succeed him. This
dedication, or the major part of it, took place
during the previous administration of Mr.. Bres-
lin, and though there has been rumors of it for
some time, it turns out to be much worse than
the public had any reason to suppose. The
Cleveland Leader, in speaking of it says
Blade
"Wm Gibson is a brother-in.law of Mr..
Bresln, and'concealed the fact of the defalcation
in order TO give the latter an opportunity to re-
place the money. If this is true, although tn
motives of Mr.. Gibson were doubtless good, il
is to be regretted that he should have allowed
his sympathy for his brother-ln.law to prevent
him from san earlier exposure of the deficit
We remember some talk during Mr. Breslin's
administration about a deficit Of 1925, 900
which was then attributed. if we mistake not
to bank failures. MIR. Bresin is at present. il
Kansas, and the discovery was made during the
temporary absence OF Mr.. Gibson in Minnesota,
