The Great Revulson of 1867 has spent its force.
and is henceferth to be regarded as tornado of
yesterday. There WILL Of course, be more failures,
for many really iusovent houses which have thus far
avoided prostration through skllfal and assiduous
fnsnc;ering, Bank favor, or the nOn-msturity of
their obligations, must ultimately succumb;
bat, for the most of the community, the worst is
over. There are fewer mills, Erges furnaces aud
labcrers now idle than there were two months ago;
there will be fewer month hence than there are
now; and we may confidently look for still further
improvement. Unless precuded by an absurd re-
qurement that as high money wages shall be paid
for labor in 1858 when everything else but labor
was thirty to fifty per cent. dearer, there is no rea'
son why any able and willing aborers should stand
idle after Spring shall have fairly opened Let it
only be clearly understood that ten shllings in JAN
uary, 1853, is equal to fourteen shilings in
January, 1857, and that the sborcr in any
capacity who receives ten dollars now for

ST. LOUIS, Wednesday, Jan. 20, 1853.
The Democrat has just received Kansas letters TO
the l4th inst stating that the returns of the cleo
tons on the 21st of December and 4th Of January
we're opened by Gen. Calhoun on the 18th inst. in
the presence of Gen. Denver, the President Of the
Council and the Speaker Of the House.
The vote on the 2lst of December for the Con-
stitution with Slavery" was 6,063, and for the
Constitution without Slavery" 526. Of these
votes $500 are sad to have been polled in Pre-
cincts containing not over thousand inhabitants.
For Governor the vote was Smith, Free-State,
6,23e; Marshall Democrat, $3.50.
For Congress-Parrot, Free-State, received
6,623, and Carr, Democrat, 6,569.
To the Senate l3 Free-State men and Demo
Gratis are elected, aud to the House % Free-State
men and Ia Democrats.
The vote on the Constitution has not yet been
counted.
General Calhoun says he shall not close the count
now but receive what other returns may be pre-
sented, although the eight days given for making
the returns have expired.
The Territorial Legislature has provided Com
mission to examine into the election frauds, and
will provide for another Constitutional Convention.
The Topeka Legislature will enact code of
laws to be used in case of emergency, but which
will not conflict with the Territorial authority.

ton they should have helped to produce. Whole
States are this hour impoverished by their insult
fcieney Of the domestic animals needed to con-
sumo their Hay and Grain.
III. Excessive Debt and Credit. Ga this point,
we need not enlarge Every mans experience Is
eloquent with regard to it. Almost everybody VINO
is anybody either owes debts which he cannot pay,
or has sums owing TO him that be cannot collect
often both. We have seen an estimate OF one
Hundred and Fifty Millions as the aggregate OF
losses BY mercantile failures during the year CON-
mencing with July last. We believe this an
enormous advertisement; yet the mercantlie
debt is but fea-bite TO the aggregate internal
indebtedness Of the country that is or soon VIII be
past due and unliqudated. One Thousand Millions
Of Dollars would BIZ short Of the total amount.
And not half of this will ever be paid.
". Excessive importation. We will not here
expatiate on this head. Our columns have long
teemed, and will still TEEN with it. Let US here
only record our protest against the paltry sugges-
ton that since we can only pay what we have
the goods imported in excess must be Through
baDkruptcies) q clear gain TO this country That
suggestion is as mistaken in economy az the chuekle
usually accompanying it is unsound in morals. No
person, 10 community ever really profted by in
solyency. They who sell us the goods may lose;
but we, who pauperize and debase our own labor
ers who should have found subsistence and thrift
in producing them, do not gain. Had we, on the
contrary, given employment to our own people
through this hard Winter in making the metals
and fabrics for which we now defaulters to
Europe, it would have been far better for us and
for mankind. We are poorer for the constrained
ideness of this season of disaster not merely by
the vast amount which the idle might have earned.
but by the bad habits the love of deness, the will
Dgness to eat unearned bread, to which this para-
ysis of Industry has degraded them. All the gold
Of California would not atone for their democrat
iZatIOn.
We must reserve for another article some sug-
gesons for proting by the severe lessons of 1857.

From Washington.


N. I.
From Our Ot0a Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Jan. 20, 1853.
Private dispatches were received in this city last
night, dated BOOnyille, No., Jan. 10, which state
that the vote of the DIST ut for the Lecompton
Constitution was $500, at least one. half Of which
were fraudulent The vote of the 4th inst. against
the Constitution wac 10, 900 bona fde votes. This
dispatch is signed f. p Stanton.
KickapoO sent in amended returns, giving Pro-
slavery vote Of 800 instead of its first fraudulent
return of 900. The increased vote makes the
Leavenworth delegation Pro Slavery, and with
other fraudulent returns in the interior Of the State
gives Pro-Slayery majority in the State Legsla-
ture.
The Administration leaders here are beginning to
wayer in regard to the LecomptOn swindle They
are alarmed at the attitude of the Northern De-
mOcracy. The panic has reached the Cabinet, and
two or three members said to be shaky. The
Pennsylvania Democrats in the House are -inclning
toward Douglas The Republicans talk of making
a contest in the House against even receiving and
referring the LecOmpton Constitution. 1t is doubt
full however, whether the Douglas Democrats can
be brought to take this position.
Nearly 1900 persons attended Mrs. Douglass
ball last light, which was the most brilliant and
successful ball ever given here.
Lady Napier has gone to Old Point Comfort to

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Jan. 20, 1853.
The Senate, after long executive session, con-
firmed al the naval nominations. There was dis
cussion as TO several; but, inasmuch as the Sena-
tors all round the board were interested in cases
open to objection, it was considered most polite to
LET those slide which provoked comment every
man fearing that one rejection would lead to Others
that the practice once commenced could not be
arrested. The result confirms my predictions.
1t is understood that Gov. Sam. Medary declines
to certify the Minnesota Constitution with tae Re-
publican signatures 20 It, upon the ground that he
is ignorant of the proceedings Of the boay which
passed il. The matter viii be considered in the
Senate Committee On Territories tomorrow. The
Republicans insist that the coalitions Of the En-
abling Act shah BE- fulfilled, o. in default of that,
are willing to accept the Constitution free ex-
preston Of popular sentiment. The Democrats
dempr to the latter course, in consequence OF it
invoking serious complications with Kansas mat

insist on the Former course. while dsregsrdng th'

John Calhoun, in the presence of Acting-Goy-
ernor Denver, and the presiding officers of both
Houses of tho Territorial Legislature of Kansas on
the 18th inst, opened the returns of the elections
aud declared the result except regards the votes
upor the Lecompton Constitution on the latter day,
the count of which is not closed until "what other
.s'Ie.uns may be presented shall have been re-
ce:yed Gen. Calhoun makes out the vote for the
Lecomptou Constitution "wth Slavery" to be
6,O63; for it without Slavery" 500; for Marcus
J. Parrot as member of Congress- 6,623, and for
one Carr, the Pro-Slavery candidate, 6,56S; for
Governor, Geo. w. Smith, Free State, 6,23S;
Frank Marshall, Slavery, $3.50. To the
Senate. Is Free State and 6 Pro-Slavery
members are declared elected; to the House
% Free State TO Ia Pro-Savery members.
Thus the Legislature is Free-State, beyond per-
adventure. but the Governor is Pro-Slavery. In
estimating the value of this result, it must be re-
membered that but fraction of the Free State
party voted, while every ballot cast by their OPP
poncuts was counted as two or three. The Terri
toris Legislature has appointed Committee to
Investigate the election frauds. 1t WILL according
to the correspondent Of The 81. Louis Democrat
soou call another constitutional Convention. The
Topeka Legislature, according to the same au-
thority will enact code Of laws to be used in case
Of need, but in no wise to conflict with the Terri
torid authority. From the latest bulletin from
Kickapoc we can Imagine what the vote upon the
Constitution will be declared to be by Calhoun.

can bark Adriatic from the claim of damages made
against him by the owners Of the French steamer
Lyonnss, has been reversed. The Court at AK,
to which an appeal was taken, held Capt Durham
responsible for the collision, principally, it would
SEEM on the ground that though the night was
foggy, he displayed no light. Though such lights
are not required by our American regulations, yet
the Court held the omission to display them, under
such circumstances, an act Of imprudence sufficient
TO fix the responsibility on the party guilty oft.
