Governor walker on 'sPOpular Sow
creignty.,,

The Hon. Robert j. Walker, late Govern
or of Kansas, was guest at the dinner OF
the st. Nicholas Society, in New York, on
Monday evening last, and made an elegant
speech in response to the toast, 1.-The Union"
We quote passage
Let us ever remember, gentlemen, that
this American Union of ours is the best, the
brightest, perhaps the last experiment of
self government. And as it shall by us be
maintained and perpetuated, or broken and
dissolved, so shall the light of liberty shine
on the hopes of mankind or be forever extin-
and the groans of a worldly bondage. Loud
cheers But, gentlemen, let us also recol-
lect that there is great principle which lies
at the base of the American Union-that
principle for which our foref theirs fought
through the Revolution, and for which we,
their descendants have contended from that
period down to the present moment to main
tain. That principle, which not only lies at
the basis of that Union, but at the basis of
all our institutions, is the principle of self
government. prolonged cheers.l 1t is the
principle that the people in every State of
this Union, and in those inchoate States
which, emerging from Territorial pupilage,
begin to ascend into the constellation of Am
erican States, when they form their first con-
situations shall, with you, the youngest and
the eldest of the American States enjoy the
principle of self government. loud cheers.
1t is principle, gentlemen, older than the
American Union. 1t is the principle which
led to the American Union. For as to each
one of the Colonies that subsequently be-
came American States, the very principle
for which they contended and which induced
them to separate from the mother country
upon question involving not many dollars
and cents, but simply small tax on tea that
scarcely touched the pockets of single ind-
vidual but small as the question of money
was, the principle was Deep was fundamen-
tal was eternal. The principle for which
they contended and which led to that revo-
luton, was the principle of self government.
[Cheers. And, gentlemen, permit me to say
that the moment when in any one of the
States of this Union-either the States now
existing or the States inchoate-this princi
pie, is, in the slightest degree, departed from,
that moment will introduce the period when
will be stricken down the fundamental prin-
ciples of the American Governmental
principles which led us to that revolution /;
and will have made the first, and [ fear the
last step back to monarchy and despotism.
Loud cheers.] As to myself, then. gentle
men, for that great principle have contend
ed all my life !; for that principle have lived,
and, God willing, if necessary for that prin-
cip!e I am ready to die. [Great cheering.

Corruption in Congress.

The Globe of Nov. Z, devotes thirty COL
umns to the publication of q statement pre-
pared by DIR. X. Mayo, and intended to con-
vict Hon. VIM. Cullom, lately Clerk of the
House; of Representatives, of having drawn
large sums of money from the Treasury os-
tensibly for books to be furnished to men,
bers of Congress, but which he did not ex-
pend in the purchase of such books. 1t is
alleged that he made arrangements with
members themselves, by which they were to
receive part of the money and give receipts
for the books, while Mr.. Cullom pocketed the
remainder of the money and bought no books
at all. The publishers are the parties on
whose behalf the expose is made they were
largely interested in the matter, since the
books which they had published at great ex-
pense, under the assurance that they would
be needed for the supply of members, re-
NAMED under this arrangement upon their
shelves unsold.
John G.. Rives, the editor of the Globe, ap-
ponds to DR.. Mayo's document the following
statement of a transaction which he says is
within his own knowledge:
GIVE shall write now about the books that
Cullom has purchased since the law passed
authorizing him to do so. Soon afterwards
within week or two-he went to Gales &
Seaton, who told them that Mr.. Tyler would
call on them to purchase the books they had
printed, and whatever he might do would all
be right. A day or two after that Mr.. Ty-
Ter called on them, and said that he needed
only ninety-three sets of their books, which
amounted to S33, GAG, and that he coud take
Sl3,345 Of ii, and let them have the balance,
S2o,OO. They took time to consider on the
matter, and came to the conclusion that they
would not be shaved at so high a rate, and
MIR. Seat0n wrote letter so informing Mr..
Tyler. He called on them week or two
afterwards. and proposed to take ninety sets
only from them, which amounted to 49,. $50.
and let them have S25,S5O of it and take The
balance, $1,000 himself They agreed to his
proposition, and gave him an order for the
whole amount, 49,, 1850 and he took from

Special Dispatch to the N Y. Times.
WASHINGTON, Dec. II.
1t is evident that the fight is to be fierce
one, and that the President is determined to
oppose Douglas position to the bitter endr
Douglas will beat them, however, at last.
The course of Douglas continues to be
the subject of much excited discussion. That
he is to be read out of the Democratic party
without the benefit of clergy, seems to be
the determination of every supporter of the
Administration.
The hostility with which he is pursued you
would scarcely credit. He has clearly COM
mitted the objectionable sin in the estimation
of the South.
Mr.. Douglas is not easily slaughtered
He possesses the recuperative power of a
dozen ordinary politicians, or he would have
been in his political grave long since. He
now occupies in the Democratic party some
thing of the position which Governor Sew
ard had in the ruling party at time when
he was urged to abandon it because it SEEM
ed likely to be used for the extension of the
Slave Power
Mr.. S. declined, insisting upon his duty tc
remain in the party and exert his influence
for its reformation. Mr. Douglas will as
snme the same attitude in the Democratic
party and whether he succeeds or not as
well as did the Senator from New York, he
will, at least, command respect for the ener-
getic boldness of his effort

Gov. Walker will, according to the asser
tons Of his most intimate friends, soon with
draw altogether from the Governorship of
Kansas, and will, when rendering his resigna-
ton to the President, state his reasons for
this course, designing however, not to use
any language which may have tendency to
disturb their friendly relations.
Judge Douglas bill although similar in it's
details to that of Mr.. Toombs', contains the
additional clause that the Constitution, when
formed by the Convention, be submitted en-
tire to the people.
Senator Gwin, has had a large number of
letters from California, in which the writers
express an intense interest to be mustered in
to the service of the United States against
the Mormons who, it is mentioned, have ennis
saries throughout that State, and are thought
TO be meditating serious mischief.
