sage.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-Governor Walker
openly declares himself opposed to the action
of the Lecompton Convention. He says that
the only proper course is to submit the whole
constitution to the people. He had an inter-
view with the President today upon the sub
iect. MIR. Buchanan, as at present advised,
ia induced 10 sustain the convention.
Reliable advices from Chicago state that
Senator Douglas agrees with Governor Walk
er, and will oppose the Lecompton constitu-
ton in the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-As far as can be
ascertained, the Cabinet are united In sus-
tanning the action OF the Kanzat Constitutions
al Convention, whatever preference there may
have been for submitting the entire Constitu-
ton to the people. 1t is understood that all
are agreed that the mode proposed for the in
habitants to settle the question of slavery, as
one Of their domestic institutions, for thems
selves, is in accordance both with the letter
and the spirit of the Kanzas- N braska act.
Gov Walker has had another interview with
the President on the subject of Kanzas affairs,
and they have also today occupied large
share Of Cabinet deliberatlon.
No arrangements have yet been made in
regard to the transmission of the Presidents
message in advance of its delivery. 1t is
probable, however, that the newspaper press
will be supplied with copies by the means
heretofore adopted. All the reports of the
heads of departments are in sufficient stage
of forwardness for copying,
The Star is informed on authority in which
it places confidence, that both the English
and French governments have taken occasion
to protest through their ministers here to this
government, against Walker, the filibuster's
second expedition to Central America.

POISONED BY LEAD.-There is great reason to
believe that the use Of water passing through lead
pipea has been the source of disease of the most
deadly and inveterate character, an extent that
would astonsh the public, if its amount could be
correctly ascertained and exposed. Recent cases
of disease of such character, and deaths ensuing
therefrom, in certain sections Of Norwich, led to
the suspicion that it originated in poison by lead
which was confirmed by their occurrence in por.
tion of the city which was supplied with water by
a lead pipe acqueduct An analysis of the water
from the acqueduct was consequently obtained
from DR.. Chiffon, the celebrated chemist in New
York, from which it appears that each gallon Of
the water held four grains of lead in solution
The Courier, in reference to this result says -
"The acqueduct which has thus been doing its
work OF death, has been in operation for many
years-probably not less than twenty-fve-and
how many, young and old, have gone, within
that period, to premature graves, no one can tell
But busy memory in the minds of those most ia.
miliar with the history Of families residing on
Church and Washington streets, recalls cases af.
ter cases of death. the symptoms of which point
to the poisoned water of this aequeduct as the
cause. Among the living, too, the instances are,
alas, but too numerous and sOrrowful, of weary,
wasting disease, depriying of present enjoyment,
and nloudng future prospects. Whether medical
science, which has been, for twenty years, too
stupid, uninquiring, and unobserving, to detect
the presence Of so prolific cause of disease and
death in this community, has any antidote to Of
fer for the deadly poison it was too dull to dis
cover, is more than we csn say.
Estimating the quantity of lead poison in each
gallon of water at four grains-and the average
quantity Of water taken into the system of an
adult, daily, only two quarts, (and this we sup
pose to be an under, rather than over.estimate, J
gives 730 grains of poison year-an amount suf-
fcient, we may readily believe, to work out the
most deadly results, unless counteracted or neu-
tralized by other agencies in nature or art"

BURNED TO DEATH.-A widow woman
Lamed Catherine Dillan, in Cambridgeport,
was so shockingly burnt, about noon,
Thanksgiving day, that she died early the
next morning. In putting coal into the stove,
her apron took fire and instantly extended to
her other clothing, enyeloping her in flames.
She recollected no more, and was found in an
insensible state by person occupying the
tenement over her, who was led to examine
her room by the smoke coming up through
the crevices Of the floor.

The st. Paul Mtnnesotian, in behalf Of the
Republicans Of that territory who have won
victory Of which they do not like to be deiraud-

"If the dishonored leaders of the Democratic
party of the territory expect they will succeed
with their supplementary returns'-their manu-.
featured poll lists-their bogus precnts-without
the tallest kind Of fight for it, and retribution
at last, they are doomed to nj little disappoint-
ment, for there are plenty of men enlisted for
the war, who are determined that as the De-
mocracy could not poll votes enough to fairly
elect Mr.. Sibley, neither shall they cheat votes
enough into the canvass to defeat the peoples
choice. Alexander Ramsey, who in spite Of all
their desperation, is, and will be- the first Govern

importance is greatly enhanced by the fact, that
a regular opposition to the administration, on
this question, is rapidly developing itself in
the Democratic party. Among those who lead
off In it, most prominently, are the Presidents
late friend, Forney, and Stephen A. Douglass,
the Presidents competitor for the nomination
for the Presidency in 1860. We have already
copied an article on the subject from Douglass
organ in Chicago. and friend who has just ar

Douglas is outspoken, both in public and in pri-

stitution should not be sanctioned by Congress
till i. has been fairly submitted vote of the
people, in their primary capacity, and adopted by
them. He undoubtedly sees and feels that any

resurrection. There are stirring scenes ahead.
