ST. Louis, Dec. s.
Tho letter to tho Republican from the
Utah expedition, the main points Of which,
werc telegraphed yesterday, states that Col.
Cooks command was $50 miles west Of Fl.
Laramie on the 3d Of November. Thus far
the travelling had been pleasant aud easy;
but now, tho wcnthcr was growing colder;
provisions getting scarce, and prcviuders
ui,ina out; and Il was apparent that great
hardships were before them. Still, noiwith-
standing tho threats from Salt Lake city,
the cntire army would proceed as rapidly
as tho elements and the supply of food
would permit, to winter quarters, marked
out by Col. Johnson, on Honey Fork OF
Green River.
II IS rumorcd to be the intention Of Brig
ham Young TO fight the troops this winter
as tho best chance for an equal conflict, and
then, before reinforcenents can be sent in
tho spring, to destroy all tho Mormon pos
sessions in Utah, and proceed to some other
country. The Democrat has received let
ters from Kansas, containing two proclama-
tions from Calhoun, specifying the manner
of Election of The 2ist inst, for submitting
tho constitution to the people, and the first
Monday in January for election of State Of
fccrs and giving the names Of the COM
missioners for each county.
AT mass meeting held at Leavenworth
tho 18th ult, a resolution was passed re-
questing the Territorial Legislature to meet
at Lecompton, December Sd. The resolu-
ton was passed under the belief that Stan.
ton will recognize the Legislature so con-
yened. A resolution offered by Gen. Lane
was unanimously adopted, pledging them
selves in case Stanton declined to recognize
the Legislature, to put the Topeka Govern
ment in motion and stand or fall by it.
A Democratic convention for the 24tl
inst The Democrat learns from private
sources that Stanton has issued a proclama
tion calling special session to be held or
tho 9th Dec.
ST. LOUIS Dec. 9--The Democrat learns
that news has been received at Fl Leaven-
worth from Mai. Russell's train. That the
Government animals were diving in great
numbers on the plains.

DEMooRATs Look OUr.-The following
is from the Washington Union:
Gan honest difference of opinion as to
whether the Kansas Convention should
have submitted to popular ratification the
whole or the great essential part of the
Constitution framed by them may be tole-
rated; but tho entire Democratic press will
hold no Democrat guiltless who seeks to
promote his peculiar views by associations
aoih Bldck RepuJlicanism IN any form
To sanction even for a moment the section
al objects, or TO adopt even for temporary
purpose the wretched sophistries and fanat-
ical appeals of the enemy, may be safely
regarded as the preliminary steps of for
NAL dcsertion."
There is the crack Of the party whip, and
those who expect to act according the die
tates oftheir own conscience in regard to the
Kansas Constitutional Convention must
stand from under. "Toby or not Toby"
that's the question.

what is 70 be the Fate of Kansas.

The eyes of the people of the Union, yes,
of the whole civilized world, are now turned
towards Congress, and this question is in
the mouths of all" What is to be the fate
of KansasG The President has taken side
for the South, and is supported by the Cab
met undivided. Nine-tenths Of Northern
democrats rcpudiate tho Calhoun constitu-
ton, unless it is submitted, IN ,chole, to a
vote of all the citizens. If that is done ii
will be unanimously rejected by the people.
What will the South do then?

Herald possessed itself of these important
documents in advance Of their delivery to

The Free state wen in Council.


A meeting was held in Lawrence K. t.,
on the 18th ult., for the purpose of consid-
cring the action of the late constitutional
convention. Resolutions were adopted de-
claring the Lecompton constitution n gross
violation of the expressed wishes of tho
people of Kansas--a fraud begotten Of
fraud; solemnly pledging themselves to re-
sist to the last all attempts to thrust it up
on them; rcpudiating the election proposed
to be held Dec. 2lst; suggesting that if the
territorial Executive does not Immediately
call special session of the territorial Legis-
laturo, Gov. Robinson be requested to call
n special session of the State Legislature at
the earliest moment A resolution recon-
mending the appointment of local vigil
ancc committee, was adopted. E. B. Whit
man presided. Speeches were made by
Lane, Robinson, DC. Several pro-slayory
papers have taken strong grounds against
the constitution.

CINCINNATI. Dec. 8.


On Sunday afternoon Frank S. Mcclure
went into the storo Of Bcattie & Anderson
for the purpose OF discussing business mat
ters with Beattie. About an hour after
wards, Mcclure was seen to fall from the
door to the sidewalk, and when raised his
skull was found to be fractured. He died
on Monday night.
Beattie testified before the Coroner's jury
that on parting with Mcclure in the store,
he returned to the counting room, that he
heard noise at the door, and on going
there he found Mcclure on the sidewalk
His supposition was that the deceased in
passing out Of the door, caught his foot in
something which threw him on the side.
walk and produced the injury.
Beattie wac arrested last evening on the
affidavit Of Samuel Mitchell, charging him
with the murder of Mcclure by striking
him on the head with an iron bar. He
was held to bail in $4,000 Tho parties
are wen known and highly respectable.

The Topeka government.


Extract Of Gen. Lanes Speech at Lawrence the eve
uing of Nov. 10
"But constitution has been framed at
Leeompton, and in the bill of rights there
is slavery-in the body of the instrument
there is slavery. They ask US to vote for
slavery outside of the constitution, and
they still give us slavery inside. 1t is like
a man throwing up the copper, "heads |
win-tails you lose" They are determined
TO enslave the greatest party of frecmen III
the world. When we went into the Octo-
Der election, we took a solemn pledge be-
Almighty God, and l believe he smiled as
we did it, that we would put the Topeka
Government in motion if we did not succeed
and now let US do it. tremendous and
prolonged cheering) We succeeded in the
election, but are to be robbed of our gov
ernment We have $4,000 tried men to
put the wheels of government in motion.--
Let Charles Robinson issue proclamation
calling thu Topeka Legislature. just such a
ono as Charley will get out-and these
traitors and conspirators will understand it.
(Applause) The people must put thei'
own Government in motion. The time
has come for prompt decision and
united action, to repcl the usurped Govern
ment which the minions of Slavery arc
trying to thrust upon us. Dispose of the
constitution and dispose of the traitors who
made it,"

"OuR PosrTIoN."-After the Democrat
took its stand on the present condition of
Kansas matters, and declared that the Cal
houn constitution was au outrage upon the
citizens of that Territory, the editor of the
Messenger found the people were of the
same opinion, so last week he came out
with an article, headed as above, making an
awful noise. Why man, you, as well as all
the rest of the locofoco party, are trying to
get on the platform of the republican party
as regards Kansas. And then, hotO brave
