2Sth Nov. The panic in England was ra-
pidiy subsiding. Very few new failures
were announced, but among the failures was
Northumberland and Durham District Bank,
causing great excitement among the Golfers
at New Castle. The Bank of England,
however, came to the relief of the Golfers.

The demand for money had greatly dimi-
nished, and loans were obtainable at 4aG per
cent. There was also more buoyancy on
the stock exchange than there had been for
weeks.
There had been fortnight's later news
from India, but there was nothing of start
lirg importance. Lucknow had been re-
lieved. There had been good deal Of
small fighting here and there, the English

From Kansas.

The latest accounts from Kansas repre-
sent the people as in a feIment. An inform

constitution will permit the proposed cleo

that instrument News Of the dismissal of
Sec. Stanton had not been received at last ac-
counts, bu; the impression of the same in
formaut was, that il would bring matters in
the territory to an issue at once.
The proceedings Of the first three days Of
the legislature convened by Secretary Stan
ton on the 9Th inst have been received, but
nothing had yet been done towards carrying
out the recommendations of the acting Go

DECIDEDLY PoINrED.-The St. Louis Re.
publican, beyond question the most able and
influential pro. slavery paper in the south.
west, has remained studiously and ominous-
ly silent in reference to the action of the
late Kansas Constitutional Convention, but
i: gives prominent place in its columns
(under the editorial head and leadedD to a
communication, in which the mode adopted
by that convention of submitting their work
to the people is thus treated:
The bare statement of the case is shock
ing to sense and decency. If the Conven-
ton had thought fit to enact a Constitution
and put it in operation without appealing to
the popular will at all. perhaps it had power
to do so, however nDdemocratic the course
might be; but under the pretense OF sub
uniting the question Of slavery to the pep
pie, to require every man to vote for the
Constitution, and to swear beforehand to
support It, is disgusting compound Of op-
preston and folly, the equal Of which can
hardly be found outside OF Kansas-oppres.
sion, in compelling men to vote for what
they may despse or abhor, or renounce
their right of suffrage; and folly, in suppos-
gate and rule the many, by such a despca-
bic trick. That is not the way to govern
people in this country, and will no more be
submitted to than would the prescription of
poison-doctor who required his patient to
| take his arsenic with bread and butter or
without it.

Resun utIou OF Spec,e PAYMENT.

On Monday the Banks of New York CITY
resumed specie payment on all their liabiii-
( tics. The Boston Banks Immediately follow
ed their example, and next day the New
Haven and the suspended banks of New
York and the New England States generally,
also resumed. The banks of New Orleans
/ resumed I month ago, as did most of the
Southern banks, so that the Pennsylvania
banks, and few others scattered here and
there, are the only exception 10 a genera! re-
sumption.
The resumption in New York and New
England, aside from the little aid it may
give, on account of the mere name of the
thing, to the work Of restoring confidence,
will have 10 immediate effect to benefit bu-
siness. The circulation Of these banks has
for long tine been regarded as doubly secure
and at no tiu.e after the first week of the
suspension in New York, has gold command
city bank bills. Indeed most of the New
York banks at no time ceased wholly to re-
deem their bills.
When the New York banks suspended,
they had about 81, 600, 900 of specie in their
vaults; at present they have 5000, 900.
Ordinarily from ten 81 900, 900 are consid-
cred safe reserve, 1t is plain, that with
such an enormous amount of specie on hand,
with nearly the whole cotton and grain crop
still in the country to be exported in the
spring and upon which TO rely for balances
of specie and exchange from aoroad, the
New York and New England banks will
meet the opening business in spring in
stronger conc ition, and in a condition to af-
ford ample facilities to trade, than they
have presented for many years. If they
will use the enormous means at their COM
mand in the legitimate way of business, and
not again plunge into doubtful railroad and
other fancy stocks. there is every reason to
look for as active, heavy, and prosperous
business in this country in spring as We have
ever witnessed.

Mr.. Stanton's Message.

We insert to-day, as an important chapter
in the history Of the times, the Message Of
Mr.. Secretary Stanton, ofKansas Territory,
to the Territorial legislature, which, by
proclamation, he had convened in extraor-
binary session on the 9th inst. Whether
the circumstances of the case justified the
assembling of the legislature may well be a
matter of debate. President Buchanan ap-
pears however, wholly to have disapproved
the step, looking upon it as only having a
tendency to infame the public mind III the
territory and endanger the public peace;
and promptly removed Stanton from office,
appointing Gen. Denver. of No., in his place.
If the legislature confine their action to the
recommendations Of secretary Stanton, they
will do little harm; but il they adopt the
suggestions of the free state meetings at
Lawrence, Topeka, &C., they had better
never been called together.

senator Douglas, Great speecb.


We had thought of giving our readers to-
day some extracts from the great speech of
Judge Douglas on the Kansas question, de-
livered in the U. S. Senate on the 9th inst;
but on reading it over carefully, we find it
impossible to do any thing like justice to the
speech or speaker without giving the whole
We shall therefore endeavor to find room for
it in our next. 1t is a speech which should,
tensively as the Presidents Message. The
intense feeling excited throughout the coun-
! try by the new and unexpected complication
Of the Kansas question throus b the unfor-
tunate action of the Lccompton convention,
and the attitude of apparent hostility to the
administration assumed by Judge d. in con-
deu,ing the action Of that convention, invest
this speech with an interest and Importance
equaled by few other speeches ever deliver.
ed in the Senate.
The positions assumed by Judge D. may
be briefly stated thus:
l. That the President, in taking the
ground in the message that "the slavery
question only was required to be submitted
to the people by the Nebraska bill" has fall
en- into Fundamental error :" and that, on
the other hand, the essence of that bill is,
that the slavery question is added to all the
other questions of domestic policy to be
submitted to the people. Hitherto the
slavery question, by this Missouri Compro-
mise, had been made an erception the OBJ
| ject Of the Nebraska bill was to remove the
exception.
2. That the legislature of Kansas had no
power to call or create the Lecompton Con-
stitutional Convention; that the action OF
that Convention was therefore illegal and
void; and that its action can only obtain vi
tally by Congress regarding it in the light
of a petition, proceeding from an undoubted
majority of the whole people of Kansas.
3. That At the time the members of the
Lecompton Convention were elected all par
ties in the Territory understood, and the
candidates pledged themselves, that the con-
stitution was to be fully and fairly submit
ted to the people, as the only course by
which Vitality could be given 70 it.
4. That the mode of submitting the ccn-
stitution is not fair, as votes can only be
cast for it and none against it; that even the
slavery clause is not fairly submitted, as
none can vote for or against that clause
without ! violation OF conscience in voting
for and swearing to support the other pro-
visions Of the constitution.
That these ositions are fully and trl-
umpbantly maintained by this speech, We
believe no candid man, after reading il, will
deny. We have read the speech of Mr.. Il g
Ter in reply to Judge d., the telegraph re-
port Of Mr.. Green's speech, and the labored
reply in the Union, and we certainly cannot
see that the positions of Judge d. are in the
least shaken. However, we will give our
readers the speech and let them judge for
themselves

Dispatches have been received from Col.
johnson, Of the Utah Expedition, upto Oct.
18th. Col. j. was at the South Pass, max
ing every exertion to join Col. Alexander,
who was 70 miles further on. at the mouth
of Fontenelle Creek, the intention of both
being to winter at Henry's Fork, on Green
River, where they expect Col. Cooks COM
nland, with whom is Gov. Cumming, to join
them. The latter was but two weeks be-
hind Col. johnson, getting along with diff
Guilty, on account of the cold weather.
A skirmish between Col. A!exander's
troops and The Mormons occurred, in which
about 20 Mormons were captured. The
Mormons, thus far, however, have stolen and
run off some 600 head Of Col. Alex.
ander's cattle.
On the 10th Oct, it is also reported, a
party Of 100 mounted volunteers under Cap.
Marcy, while exploring the country, and
only two miles from the camp, came upon
party Of 55 Mormons, whose captain de-
clarsd it to be the intention of the Mormons
to resist any attempt on the part Of the
troops to advance. and also that it was by
Brigham Young's orders that the trains had
been burned. After the parley, the Norm
ons were allowed to move off unmolested.
| The general impression appears to be,
that the intention of Brigham Young is to
| fight the troops this winter as the best
chance for an equal conflict, and then, before
reinforcements can be sent in the spring, to
destroy all the Mormon possessions in Utah
and proceed to some other country.
At Washington, it appears no definite
plan for conducting the campaign against
the Mormons in spring will be adopted until
| the arrival of Gen. Scott, who has been
summoned to the consultation on the sub
ject. The determination, however, is to
adopt vigorous measures to make short work
of the rebellion.
Gen. Gwin, Of California, is receiving
scores of letters by every mail from the Pa
ciiic, the writers expressing intense anxiety
to be mustered into the L. S. service against
the Mormons, and there is no doubt but a
regiment Of volunteers from California will
be accepted.
The accounts heretofore published in re-
ference to the massacre Of the emigrant
train between Salt Lake and California, APP
pear to have been greatly exaggerated. The
Memphis Bulletin publishes letter to a ci-
tzen Of New Madrid, from a relative who
was in the company alleged to have been
nassacred. According to this the train was
attacked by very large body Of Indians,
but the latter were repulsed with the loss of
only q few lives. As the statements Of
Messrs. Power and Warn, whose narratives
have been received as a confederation Of the
massacre, were not made from personal OBJ
servation, but from the reports Of the Nor
mons, through whom they passed, who
seemed anxious to impress upon the belief
that the entire company had persisted, and
as there is very little to substan,iatc the
| truth OF this outrage excepting these re-
ports, it is quite probable that this is the
correct version OF the affair, which was
exaggerated by the Mormsns into a whole
sale slaughter to subserve their own pur-
poses.
