The Chicago Times Stands Fire-List of
Democratic Papers of the Northwest
Opposed to the Action of the Kansas
constitutional Cow entiOn.
The Chicago Times, of December Sd, quotes at
tacbs made upon the Northern Democratic oupo-
nents of the action of the Kansas Constitutional
Convention, charging all who oppose the Commit
tees programme with being "Black Republicans"
etc, and remarks:
Wemay best answer these ribald assaults by stat.
ing the names of the Democratic papers in the
North who oppose this Kansas dissertation of even
the forms of justice.
IowA-Dubuque Express, Davenport Democrat,
Burlington Gazette, and every other Democratic
paper, daily and weekly, in the State, the Dubuque
Northwest excepted.
Observation-Disclosures News, Janesville STAN
dard, Beloit Gerald, Madison Argus, and every
other Democratic paper, daily and weekly, in the
State.
MIoHIGAx.-Detroit Free Press, and every 9TH

State.
IND1ANA.-IndianapoI Sentinel, lafayette Ar
gus, and every other Democratic paper, daily and
weekly in the State.
OHIo-Ohio Statesman, Cleveland Plsindeaer,
and every other Democratic paperin the State, daily
and weekly, the Cincinnati Enquirer, which has
pressed opinion, excepted.
ILLINoIs.-Quiucy Herald Bloomington Flag,
State Register, Chicago Times, Galena Courier,
Peoria New, Peoria Bulletin, Rock Island Ar
gus, and some thirty-four others, (weeklies,) be-
ing the entire Democratic press Of the State.
The Democracy represented by these tpers,
and whose sentiments are uttered by them, poll
ed at the last election, fer Mr.. Buchanan, $780,
600.
We have omitted the State of New York whose
Democratic press, with the exception of the Al
bany Argus and Rochester UniOn-the editors of
which are shortly to be made Office hOliers-de-
nounce this Kansas monstrosiGy; we have omitted
Massachusetts, and New Hampshire-the leading
presses of which, the Boston Post, and New
Hampshire Patriot both oppose Calhoun's Con-
stitutOn; we have omitted Pennsylvania, who, uu-
der the head of Forney, guarded the home OF
our STANDARDIZED in 1856, and secured a vic
tory to our hag; we have omitted The thousands
who might be enumerated in these States as stand
ing shoulder to shoulder with their brethren of the
Northwest
Yet these two miserable panderers the Rich
mond South and Washington Star to a depraved
taste-these two writer's whom We have quoted
refer to the Democratic papers Of the NorthVest as
of Every shaky Democratic reputation, or with
known Black Republican proclivilies."

sum and substance is, that the right OF
property in slaves now in the territory shall
be respected and protected, and that no
prohibition shall be made against the in
PRODUCTION of such persons as are recog-
nized by the laws of the State as slaves.
The State may free such slaves as are there
by paying their owners their value, and
whenever that is done, there can never
more be any slavery in the State. Less
than this the convention could not have
done without an open and ruthless disre-
gard of the rights of property, and there
by violating the constitution Of the Union.
Such disregard and violation, no man but
he who is fatally bent on mischief, could
tolerate. The abolitionist or free-soller
may talk to their hearts content about
the abstract rights of the negro and the
sin of slavery, and the slave-owner
will heed them not; but when his right,
secured by the constitution OF the land,
! is invaded, when these men seek to de-
prive him of his property, without COM
pensation, he aoW necsr submit. And
this may be understood now and for all
! time to come. We do not make this state
ment in any spirit of defiance or threat,
but as the deliberate determination of pen
who will stand by legally ascertained rights
under every circumstance, and defend them
at all hazards. There is nothing in the
Kansas constitution in this regard that is
not lawful and just, and opposition to it is
unlawful, unjust and unpatriotic.
Another objection which the free-state
men urge to the constitution, is that it can
not be altered or amended for seven years
to come. This is unfounded in fact. The
Declaration of rights" incorporated into
the constitution, is its sufficient refutation.
| 1t is therein declared:
'2. All political power is inherent in the people,
and all free governments are founded on their au-
thority, and instituted for their benefit, and there
fore they haze at all times nGiendbLe and indie
feasible right to alter reform abolish their form
! Of government IN such manner they may think
! proper"

the adoption of the 7th section, on its second
reading.
motion was made by Mr.. Gamm on to reconsid-
er the vote of Monday Evening, by which the
personal liability clause placed the bill.
Upon this proposition an interesting little dem
Ocratict fight SPRING up Mr.. Rowles leading of as
the champion of the motion to reconsider and Mr..
Thompson of the personal liability amendment.
During the discussion the personal liability advo-
Gates spoke in the most abusive and bitter terms
of banking institutions and their creditors,
denominating the former as "swindling concerns, "
gamblers" and other similar epithets while the
| representative from Haywood, Mr.. Bradford, de-
nominated their creditors as "lazy lousy specula-
tors" Mr.. King, of Shelby, repealed their charg-
es with some warmth.
The discussion consumed the morning session,
and the House refused to reconsider-ayes 20;
noes 43.

A Steamer in Collision with a Whale.

A Steamer in Collie sion with a Whale.
On the last trip of the steamer Columbia from
Oregon, an unusual number of the species of whale
known 'humpback,' were observed sporting in
the neighborhood of Humboldt Bay, as the only
monster of the deep can sport The steamer, with
wind and steam fair in her tail, running at the
rate of ten or twelve knots an hour, when, says a
passenger, huge whale raised to blow within half
a rod Of the ships prov, its body lying at right an
giles with her of sailing Full thirty feet of
the monsters back must have been exposed and all
were expecting an old fashioned

when Mr.. Fish sank almost like lead, but not quick
enough to 'slve his bacon" for he not at suf-
fcient depth to be of reach of the ships keel
When the fish the water for some distance
around was Grin soned with its blood Though with
diminished force, the ship struck with great vio-
lence, turning the monster completely on its beam

''25. This enumeration shall not be construed
to deny disparage others retained by the people,
and to guard against any encrOachments on the
rights herein retained, any tsansgression OF any
of the higher power herein delegated, declare
that everything a., this article IS excepted out Of the
general POuerS of government, and shall forever
re0aCin inUjoIae, and that all laws contrary there
to or to the other provisions herein contained shall
be void"
1t is therefore evident that the objections
propounded by the free-state men to this in
strument, are unfounded in fact and unreal
sonablein law. And their only object is to
perpetuate agitation and strife. They
could not possibly have been pleased with
any thing the Lecompton Convention could
have done. If it had adopted the Topeka
Constitution and left a / increased, or an I
not dotted, they would have voted it down.
Their opposition is purely factiouS-and
such being the case, we repeat that the
convention should be sustained-that Con-
gress ought to admit Kansas as a State, if
the constitution shall be ratified by any re-
spectacle portion Of the peaceful and law
abiding citizens of the territory, and thus
defeat the unhOly purposes of these mis-
chievous agitators, and put an end to the
evils which they have brought upon the
country, and which threaten the precious
existence of a proud and prosperous Re-
public.
