From the Panama Star
Walker Shedding Tears.

Our Aspiuwall correspondent states
it is reported that Walker shed tears
when he hauled down his flag on surren-
dering to the United States forces He
states, further, that the captain of the
Brunswick expressed bis intention of dis.
lodging Walker if the United States
Commodore did not do SO, and that Wal
ker and his men had resolved to fight to
the death before surrendering to the Brit.
ish though they had determined to yield
to the United States authorities. A mine
wsslaid with all the spare ammunition, and
the British were to have been blown to e.
ternity. Walker was well provisioned,
and bad plenty of munitions of war. A.
mong the prisoners brought down the riv-
er Oh the steamer were two deserters, who
would have been shot had not Walker
been compelled to surrender.

are legally expressed. 1fthe members Of
the Lecompton Convention were ohjec.
tionable, the fault rests with the free-state
men themselves. Why did they refuse
to participate in the election of these del
egates! 1t appears to US that that body
could not have passed constitution to
suit those who previously boasted that
they would disregard the action Of the
convention. and hence the opposition are
not entitled to our sympathy.
So says the very iwpressible man OF
the Democrat after having consulted bis
democratic spiritual adviser. This is q
conversion as sudden and perfect as thai
of Saul Of Tarsus. Thus decends the
Democrat from the just and maoly posi-
tion which be occupied December the Sd
to the low petti-fogeing, untenable ant
ridiculous position which he now occu

ST. LOUIS, Tuesday, Dec. 90, 1857
LeaveDwortb (Kansas) advices of the
20tb inst, give the vote of that city a.
23s for Slavery and 9 against. Much
excitement prevailed, there being many
Missourians present, many Of whom vo.
ted, after swearing in their votes. The
form of oath administered was, "Are you
at this instant an inhabitrnt of this Terri
tory" Several of the Missourians had
been arrested, and Judge Lecompte had
issued w:its of habeas corpus for their re.
lease. Gen. Calhoun bad been burned
in ef6gy. Eli Moore had been shot in the
leg by German. 1t was rumored that
Gov. Denver had issued an order for the

Gen William Walker arrived in this
city last evening, as prisoner, in charge
of United States officers. He was arres.
ted with his men on the 7th inst, at Pun
ia Arenas, by Com. Paulding, who took
possession Of him and his men as pirates
and outlaws The men have been sent
to Norfolk, and Walker is to be handed
over to the Federal Courts to be dealt with
according to law. His previous expert
ence under similar circumstances justifies
the belief that he will escape without any
punishment whatever. Some fifty of his
men still remain in Central Americs, un-
der Col. Anderson. This force was Ian.
dcd FROM the Fashion at the mouth of the
Colorado, and proceeding up the river,
made themselves masters of the fort at
Castillo Rapids aud the river boats; there
they still remain waiting for reinforce
meuts. which are not likely soon to reach
them.
With this event Walkers career as a
fllibuster leader is probably ended; ;though
we must say that such an end by no me ans
does justice to the cruel, saDguinary and
rufianly character which be has exhibited
throughout. His opportunities have been
limited but it would be difficult to find in
history a more hesrtless and inhuman vii.
lain. His abilities, however, do rot keep
pace with bis ambition; and the junta Of
Southern propagandists who sent him out
on the present expedition long ago deter.
mined to deprive bim of all real power,
aad to give the actual control of their en-
terprise to Gen. Hennignsen. That person
age is understood to have been at Washing
ton for some time past endeavoring to OBJ
tain the consent of the Administration to
bis departure from Mobile with a force
of 900 men. To this endeavor he is
sustained by very powerful infue nces.--
The Slavery propaganda, having lost
Kansas, naturally stretches out its greedy
hands to grasp the rich tropicsl regions
of Central America. The breaking up
of Walkers camp at Punta Arenas is a
check upon their design; but wc may be
sure that it is not design which they
will soon or easily be induced to abandon.

Letter from Mr.. Alliboiie.

A letter has been published in the city
papers from Thomas Allibone, late Pres
ident of the Pennsylvania Bank, who is
now in Paris. This letter is addressed
to his brother, who irst aPprised him OF
the charges made against him, since bis
absence, of being defaulter to the insti-
tuition over which he presided. MIR. Al
libone expresses surprise that the allega'
tious which have recently appeared should
not have becd made previous to his leav'
ing this country, especially as opportunl
ties were abundant, and bis departure val
known to all connected with the bank
1t was his intention to return home q
once, but he vas restrained from doing So

tifcate, stating that his life would be en-
dagered, if he undertook the voyage a
this time.
