Correspondence of the Daily Times.
WASHINGTON, Nov. q

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.
Gov. Walker had a long and friendly
interview with the President to-day
They discussed Kansas affairs at length,
especially in relation to the propriesy of
sustaining the action of the Constitutional
Convention. The distinguished gentle
men, though differing radically, parted
friends, appointing another interview for
the discussion of the same subject. Some
of their mutual friends hoped for the Ill
innate reconciliation of their views, but
the hope is fallacious open hostiites
are inevitable.
The Governors opposition to the Con-
stitution is not founded on the slavery
clause, which is only partially submitted
but on the refusal of the Convention to
permit the people to vote against as wei
as for the Constitution. He regards this
as violation of the Federal Constitution
of the Nebraska Kansas Bill-of Pop.
ular Sovereignty, and of the rights o.
Self Government. The President insists
that as the Constitutional Convention was
authorized by Congress, he is bound to
sustain its action, whatever it may be
while Walker holds that the application
of his doctrine to sustain the refusal to
submit the entire Constitution to the pop
ular vote to be simple assertion of the
right of Congress to force any Constitu
ton upon the Territory, instead of leav-
ing the people to decide for themselves.
Gov. Walker has never yet seen the
Constitution, and nobody outside of Kan
sas knows what it is. All the efforts OF
the Governor to obtain a copy failed
There is reason to fear that its signers
will be driven out of the Territory, that
it will be considered spurious, and that
the State Government can never be SET
in operation under it unless by the federal
arms
Gov. Walker declares he cannot acqui-
esce in the action of the Convention with
out violating every pledge he ever
gave, sacrificing his honest convic-
tons, to make himself infamous. If
resistance is made to the establishment
of the State Government. the President
will necessarily call on the Government
of the Territory to exercise force to put
it down. This with his sentiments,
Walker cannot do, and will not, nor will
he resign.

Ifarbor Company's Notes.

Gy~ A meeting Of the citizens of Du-
Luque was held on the 2lst ult., to take
into consideration the subject Of the Har-
Dor Company's currency. There was a
large attendance, and a unanimous feel
ing in favor of the notes issued by the
Company. Several addresses were made,
and aresolution, earnestly requesting the
company to continue their issue, passed
unanimously.
We learn from the Express d. Herald
that gentleman from this county was in
negotiation with the company for a loan
of $4,000. For ourselves, we should
like to see the loan consummated. We
have Tie fullest confidence in the integri-
ty of the company, and their ability to
redeem several times the amount which
they propose to issue. 1t would supply
us with home currency at least, and
would release an equal amount of other
currency which could then, without so
severely cripling us, be sent east to pay
our Indebtedness there. Our merchants
would take it, because it would be Just as
available as any other currency in their
business operations with Dubuque, (no
small item, by the way In this it has
the advantage over any issue that can be
made here-a project of which kind is
low on foot--as that could only hope
for local circulation We must have
something for currency-that is imper-
ative. Now we have little or nothing
And as this would help us in other than
merely local business, and as it is I'M
doubtedly safe, we hope to see it circula
ting amongst us.

Thanksgiving Day.

Es- Thanksgiving Day was very gen.
orally observed in our town. The differ
ent religious denominations united in
services at the Congregational Church,
where, after some excellent music by the
Choir, and few remarks from Rev. Mr..
ROBERTS upon the origin of the day and
rrrrurrvr Of It's primary observance, a
most excellent discourse was delivered
by Rev. Mr.. HooD, pastor of the Metho-
dist Church, his text being founded uro%
The following verses of the 65th Psalm
Thou visitest the earth and watcrest it thou
greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which
is full of water thou prcparest hem corn, when
thou hast provided for it.
Thou watcrest the ridges thereof abundantlyi
thou scttlest the burrows thereof; thou makesi
it soft with showers ; thou blessest the spring
ing thereof.
Thou crowncst the year with thy goodness
and thy paths drop fairness.
They drop upon the pastures Of the wilder
ness /; and the little hills rejoice on every side
The PASTURES are clothed with fiocks the val
leys also are covered over with corn they
shout for joy, they also sing.
Mr.. HOOP clearly and forcibly exhibi
ted our dependence upon an overruling
Providence, and pointed out infinitely
the many and bountiful blessings which
as individuals, as a community and as
a nation, give us abundant cause fol
thanksgiving

GY- The Democratic press of the Mort

Es- The Democratic press of the North
seem TO be a good deal exercised over an
article which has lately appeared in the
Washington Union, Mr.. BUcHANAN's Or
gan, which denies the right of any State
to prohibit Slavery within its borders
The Express d. Herald denounces it as
IL new and unheard- of doctrine" and
devotes several columns to its refutation.
The Union says
All state laws, whether organic or 9TH
erwise which prohibit citizens of one
State from settling in another and bring
ing his slave property with him, are d.
rect violations of the original intention OF
dis government, and of the Constitution
of the United States, which recognizes
property in slaves, and declares that the
citizens of each Safe shall be entitled to
all the privileges and immunities of citi
zens in the several States" Tie doctrine
is also announced in that article, that the
emancipation of slaves in the Northern
States was IA gross violation ofthe rights
OF property" and was in fact an uncon-
stilutional act.
This doctrine, thus broadly enuncia.
ted by the official organ of the Admin.
istration. is undoubtedly startling one,
but cannot justly be called new and un,
heard of, as it is but the legitimate re.
suit of the principles laid down and de
Tended in the bred Scott decision and
the Presidents letter to the Connecticu
clergymen. They defended those prin
ciples, and are but now waking to results
which Republicans at the time clearly
saw.

ALBANY, Nov. 80.

Weather continues very mild, and ia
vorabe accounts from the West inspire
us with hope that all the produce now
afioat on the canal will get through to
tide water, and that navigation may be
entirely resumed. A dispatch to the
Canal Auditor received from Newark,
Wayne county, this morning, says the
weather is mild, the ice broken, and the
boats moving. A boat loaded with flour
reached here to-day from Port Jackson
on Friday; this is quick time. A fleet
of twenty boats reached Waterford yes
terday, were Immediately locked into the
river, and are now on their way to New
York with about 1000 bushels of whea
and corn. The Hudson is clear of ice.
