Speech of Mr.. Douglas,

We publish in another part of to-day's
paper few extracts from this speech, de-
livered in the U. s. Senate, on the 9th
inst, on the Kansas question. Whatever
the party may do with reference to the
position of Mr.. DOUGLAS, every intelligent
man in the nation will give him credit for
consistency; and it must be admitted that
bis speech stands in striking contrast with
the fatuitous course of the President. The
N. Y. Times commenting upon the posi-
tion of Mr.. D. and the President, says
"Upon the one side is the President with
the patronage of the Government in his
hands, and the tyranny of party discipline
at his back. Upon the other stands man
of more marked ability, and of greater
courage,-sustained by the principles OF
his party and backed by the moral SEN
timeht Of the whole country. We have
not the slightest doubt with which side the
victory will finally rest. If he persists in
this insane crusade, the President is DOOM
ed to a signal and ignominous defeat"

ST.. LOUIS, Dec. %.
Dispatches from Boonville this mo ming,
say that Maj. Ruessel, Capt. Van Vliet,
and Geo. W. Saunders, passed down the
river last evening en- route for Washington.
They left Leavenworth on the l9th.-
Stanton was still acting rs Governor, ap-
parently with the appreciation of Gen. Den
yer.
Gen. Harvey had dispatched two compa-
nies of cavalry, upon Stanton's requisition,
to suppress rebellion at Fort Scott, where
several lives had been sacrificed. Harney
had also posted troops at Doniphan, At
Gibson, Kickapoo, Leavenworth, Lawrence
and Lecompton..
1t is thought the legitimate vote will be
very small, but there are many Missourians
going into the the Territory to vote, which,
taken in connection with Stanton's remov-
al, may cause bloodshed at the polls.
An arrival from the Plains reports that
two companies of the 5th Infantry had met
with reverses, and and that the Depot at
Fort Laramie is threatened by Mormons.
A letter to the Democrat dated Leaven-
worth, 10th says that Gen. Lane was shot
at Lecompton by Government official,
name not given, on the evening of the 18th.
The affair grew out of q political discus
sion, Much excitement prevailed,

WASHINGTON, Dec.

DSSs Aes
The House went into committee on tho
treasury note bill. Nj. j. G. Jones ex-
planned the provisions of the bill, which,
be said, were similar to those heretofore
passed under both Democratic and Wing
Administrations. He would endeavor to
get vote on it to-day.
Mr.. Ritche called attention to the fact
that there are two sets of Democrats; one
theoretical who will have nothing but gold
anu silver, and the other practical, who
would have anything they can get, now ask
for treasury notes.
Mr.. Banks remarked that Statesmen at
all times had asserted that the resort to
treasury notes was of doubtful expedisncy,
and DANGEROUS in principle, and should new
ar be adopted, if any other measure OF re-
lief copld be obtained. 1t is not true that
Government cannot obtain relief except
treasury notes. There never was a period

TRAVELLERS DIRECTORY,
Gov. Walkers Letter of Resig.
hatiOn.

We publish to-day the letter Of Gov.
Walker, addressed to the President, re-
signing the Governorship of Kansas. The
letter recapitulates the facts, already known
to to our readers, showing that at the time
he went to Kansas to Fill the gubernatorial
chair, the understanding on his own part,
as well as that of the President and people
at large, was, that be went solemnly
pledged to the people of Kansas that they
should be protected and defended in theil
right to frame their own government. The
evidences adduced by Gov. Walker of thi:
fact are not, and cannot be denied by the
Administration; they are clear as MONDAY,
and by their light Mr.. Buchanan and the
Administration stand convicted of perjury
in the the most hienous form. Had the
Democratic leaders who compose the ex.
isting Administration, stood bareheaded
under the eye of God and invoked all hea-
ven to withess their sacred oath to secure
the people of Kansas in their right of self
government, the obligation would not have
been more solemn and obligatory than ii
is by the facts set forth in this letter, as
instanced by US heretofore; and there can
be no baser act of violation of plighted
faith and sacred obligation, than the at.
tempt of these same demagogues to force
upon Kansas form Of government against
their will.
Gov. Walker says, that had it not been
for assurance to tho people that they would
and should be protected in their right Of
selfgoyernment, "sanguinary collision
between the latter and the federal army,
and civil war must have ensued," which
would very likely have extended through
out the Union. Let the President ponder
this conceded" fact, and then ask himself
whether the same men, who were ready
to fight for their rights so recently, are
likely to surrender them tamely now!
The tone of the letter is not bitter
against the President The Gov. says
however, that vital change in policy has
taken place on the part of the former, and
he will not go back to Kansas, knowing
that he would be Immediately required te
take course contrary to bis views of right
Ibis pledges to the peopls-and the
avowed policy of The President at the time
of his appointment. He would feel COM
PEELED to refuse to obey the instructions
sent him, and thinks it would be better to
cry quits at once. What nexta Who is
the next candidate for the guillot inc q

Moruou Troubles.

The trouble with the Mormons Is likely
to prove more serious than was at first an
t;cipated. The latest news from that
quarter shows clearly that they are deter
mined to make serious trouble and that
nothing but severe lesson Will bring them
to their senses. This lesson, at the outset,
is likely to cost US pretty largely in treas
ure and in life. The report that the Nor
mons have burnt the grass in every direc-
ton is confirmed, and they express them
selves as determined to slight to the death
in the defence Of their city, if the troops
attempt to enter this winter, and threaten
to burn the city in the spring and take re-
fuge in the mountains, where they have
provisions for four or five years.

After showing that the people are to be
the sole Judges of their Constitution, he
proceeds:
Hence assert that there is no iustifca.
ton to be made for this fragrant violation
OF popular rights in Kansas, on the plea
that the Constitution which they have
made is not particularly obnoxious. But
sir, the President of the United States, IS
really and sincerely of the opinion that the
slavery clause has been fairly and Impair
TALLY submitted to the free acceptance or
rejection of the people of Kansas. and thai,
inasmuch as that was the exciting and
paramount question, if they get the right
to vote as they please on that subject thew
ought TO be satisfied; and possibly it might
oe better II we would accept it, and nut an
end to the question. Let me ask. sir Is
the slavery clause fairly submitted. so that
the people can vote for or against in Sum
pose were citizen of Kansas, and should
go up to the polls and say al desire TO
vote to make Kansas n slave Stale, here
Is IS my ballot" They reply to me, "Mr.

Il cannot vote for that Constitution con.
elentiously. l am opposed to the clause
oy which you locate certain railroads in
such way as to sacrific my country and
my part of the State. l am opposed to
this Know Nothing, or American, clause in

then answer "You shall not vote for mat.

To make it Free State."-They replv.
"Vote for that Constitution first, and then
you can vote to make it a Free State other

Thus they disqualify every Free State

people, and l was, therefore, only perform.
ing my solemn duty, when, as Governor o.
the Territory, to whose people my first OBJ.
legations were due, / endeavored to secure
to them these results.
The idea is entertained by some that ]
should see the Federal Constitution and
the Kansas Nebraska bill overthrown and
disregarded, and that by playing the part
of mute in panto-mime of ruin, l should
acquiesce by my silence.
In such result, especially where such
acquiescence invoved as an immediate con-
sequence sanguinary civil war, extending

alone prevented by the course pursued by
me on these occasions, and the whole peo-
pie, abandoning revolutionary violence,

These important results constitute suf-
ficient consolation for all the unjust as
saults made up on me on this subject.
do not understand that those assaults
have ever received the slightest countenan-
ce from the President; on the contrary, his
message clearly indicates an approval of
my course up to the present most unfortu-
nate difference about the so-called Lecomp-
ton Constitution.
Inasmucb, however, as this difference is
upon vital question, involving practical
results and new instructions, it is certainly
much more respectful to the President, on
my psrt to resign the Office of Governor,
