ELIHU YALE, the founder of Yale College at
New Haven, Conn, was buried at the church
in Wrexham, Wales. His monument, plain
altar tomb, bears this inscription:
&C Born in America, in Europe bred,
In Africa travelled, and In Asia wed:
Where long he lived, and thrivedi In London
dead.
Much good, some bad, he did SO hope all's even,
And that his soul through mercy's gone 10
Heaven.
You & at survive and read this tale, take care,
For this most certain exit to prepare
Where bles. in peace the actions OF the inst
Smell sweet, and blossom In the silent dust.n
The strongest fact is yet to tell. II is re-
corded that Mr.. Yale went out to the East In
dies from this country as an adventurer, and,
becoming wealthy, obtained the Presidency
OF Madras, and is said to have ruled with
most oppressive authority. He caused his
groom to be hanged for riding out a fsvorits
horse without leave. For this murder he was
ordered to England, where be was tried Tor
the crime, but by some means escaped all pur-
ishment, except q heavy fine. he died 10 l72i.

Kansas Cons,,,usional Convention.

f"
TIL. Constitutional Convention in Kan
sas has adjourned, and the u. s. troops
have struck their tents at Lecmopton and
gone into winter quarters at Leavenworth.
The slavery article was adopted and is the
same as given in another column. The
method of submitting. the Constitution to
the people is creditablc to border-ruffian
ingenuity. The object is TO afford them a
pretext for claiming that the whole instru-
ment was submitted to the people, when in
fact the slavery clause is all they are al
lowed to vote upon. The forms of the bal
lots are: CONSTITUTION with the Slavery
clause" or Constitution without the Slave
~ clause" Of course the Constitution
will be adopted Whatsoever way the peo-
pie vote. The schemers hope. doubtless,
that the Republicans will refuse to vote or
acknowledge the legality of their acts in
any way, and thus allow the Democrats to
adopt the slavery clause; which Congress
will accept, and the party all over the
country insist that it is all right according
to the principles of Squattcr Sovereignty.
A dictatorship with JoHN CALHOUN. OF
infamous notoriety, at the head, is to be
established under the spacious name Of a
provisional Government, whereby the au-
thority of the United States. and Gov.
WALKER, its representative is superseded.
This is another Demo cratic move to enable
the party to fasten slavery on the territory.
Whoever dreamed that such scenes could
be enacted in this country without calling
down the anathemas of the people univer-
sally upon the heads Of the actors?
From the correspondent of the St. Lou
is Democrat Of Nov. 9, we get the follow
ing items:
BANK BILL-In the constitution there
is a provision for complete banking sys-
TEN. 1t decides that the capital shall be
s3,000.0 900, and that there shall be four
branches, two on each side OF the Kansas
River The convention declared the bank
charter granted for banks in Kansas, last
winter, as null and void. In debating this
proposition. it came out that in making up
bank at Lccompton, last summer, it was
necessary, in accordance with the charter
to exhibit cash capital Of $50, 900. This
was done by borrowing $4,000. and put
ting it in two bags. While the Governor
counted one bag at a time. the other was
carried out and brought in again. and this
was done until $50, 900 W re counted and
certificates obtained.
The State election under this constitu.
ton is to be held on the first Monday in
January, for State officers anil state Lee
gislature
The Senate is to be composed of 10
members and the House of 40.
No one shall be Governor who has not
been citizen of the United States for
twenty years.
