New Hampshire and Popular
SuVCrCEENty,

! The following are the resolves adopted by
tie Dethocrotic State Central Committee d.
Concord on Monday, and signed by nine.
teen Of the twenty-five mcmbers-absent
twL:
Resolved, That The democracy of New
Hampshre adhere with unshaken fidelity to
the great principle of popular sovereignty,
ts embodied in the Kansas Nebraska act,
and reatfirmed in the Cincinnati platform;
and, in their name, and on their behalf, we
ri. ttrm the position on that subject pro-
clnimed by them in State Convention on the
4th OF September. 1856. us follows:-
"That we believe in the cardinal doctrine
Of State rights and popular sovereignty;
that we recognize, in it's broadest sense, as
just and sautary, the principle that to the
people Of any organized State or Territory
belongs Of right the rr, rogatve of regulat-
ing or themselves their own domestic and
local affairs, itLin the limits of the cons;i.
| tuition; and that we 1enounce all violations
vi this principl whether by the interfer.
ence Of the ubolitionists of the FREQ States
or BY the aggress;ons of their abettors the
work of sectional agitation from the slave
States"
ReSolrsa, Th:t in accordance with the let.
ter and spirit OF the organic act, as we have
understood and advocated 1t, the people OF
Kansas have the right to decide for them.
selves, under the constitution, upon the char.
acter Of all their domestic institutions; and
therefore, we declare it as the opinion of the
democracy of New Hampshire. that no con-
Otitution ought to be imposed upon them or
the peop,e Of any other territory, until it
has received their express approval.
Reso!ued, That the democracy Of New
Hampshire have abiding confidence in the
integrity, patriotism, and Tstotesmanship oil
President Buchanan and his constitutional
advisers, and in their fidelity to the great
principles upon which they came into pow
er; and we pledge them our cordial and un.
waverng supportin all their efforts TO carry
out those principles in the administration Of
the government.

Rate OF Interest.

An effort is being made in our Legislature
10 limit tie rate of interest en- debts to .eyer
per cent. That ten per cent. 10 more thar
any man can sford to pay permanently ir
ordinary business transactions, is clear to
every observer. But how the evil is to bs
rsmedied is a puzzling question. Expert.
sRce shows that restrictive laws are cf little
avail. Probably three fou,hs of the money
on lean to-day in the State Of Ohio, is
bringing to its fortunate owners from fifteen
to thirty per cent; while in our commercial
cities rates rarge fsbrlcusly-st three, -four
and five per cent. month. In the State Of
New York, where rsury works forfeiture
o! both principal and interest, and is an in.
dictsb!e offence besides, it prevails to cbout
the sane extent as it wcu'd in tho absence
otall law on the subject. To do away with
usury, it is only necessary for people to do
business Prudently, and then live within
their incomes. No other successful pIan
will ever be devised.

Later from Kansas Returns OF
Ille State Election.

Sr. LOUIS, January l2.-The Democrat
has adyices from Kansas to the 7th inst
which give the following pro.slavery major
tiles: Kickapoo, 864; Doniphun county, 500;
Johnson county, 1900; B 'urbon, 930.
Douglas coun'y gives 500 fr5e State ma
jority, and Atchson city about 80 Dem
ocratic. ....
The free State ticket is probably elected
and the Legislature will have free State
majority.
About half the vote OF the Territory has
been cast for State fficers, but there is a
very decided expression against the Lee
compton Constitution. the majority against
it being set down at 10000. In some pre-
clncts two distinct polls were kept opeh.
The free Stote men have been making
arrests for fraudulent voting, under the re-
cent legislative act.
At Calhoun, Judge Of the election named
Calvert wOs arrested for stuffing the ballot
boxes; aNd another named Redman wss ar
rested for receiving fraudulent votes. Cal
vert was taken TO Leavcnworth with the
cannon belonging to the Kckapoo Rangers
and puruded through the streets. Much
excitement prevailed, and fears were enter
tuined that serious trouble would follow. -
Political parties were much divided, the mp-
jori'y being bitterly opposed to the L'comp-
ton Constitution.
Gen. Calhoun is supposed to be at Wcs-
ton, Missouri. He has been advised not tc
return to the Territory.

A sChOOImasier Eum Mad.

A mysterious individual in Buffalo, sup.
posed to be discharged schoo!master, run
mad, has been kidnapping young school boys
in the streeta, taking them into garrct cr
basement, and asking them to recite portions
Of the multiplication t,ble. II they failed
he would take off their pants and lather
them with leather strap, which he carries
for that purpose. beating them most brutal
ly. The little fellows get SO scared they
fail to identity him, and the police cannot
catch him. The Buffalo Republic soys:
The individual who is around the streets
teaching the multiplication table to little
boys (~ho have 10 fathers) with strap ., is
still prosecuting bis business zealously.-
Several complaints have been made against
him at the police office, but as yet he has
not been arrested. His last feat was il,
getting a little boy into basement, and
asking him how much nine times nine were.
The boy being smart fellow, immediately
gave the correct answer.
The algebraical professor look d rather
surprised at this. but pursued his design BY
suddenly asking him how much nine times
ninety. nine made! This puzzled the little
fellow who had not gone beyond twelve
times twelve in the multiplication table, aut
the professor noticing his hesitation imme
diate!e took down his trowsers and gave hin
a merciless beating. He then gave the bo,
penny, and told him to be sure and know
all about figures merit time he came.

The Divorce Business,

In the Court OF Common Pleas of Hami!-
ton county, on the 9th inst, there were no
fewer than one hundred and fifty seven op-
plica,ions for divorce. The newspaper re-
porter says;
"Early in the morning the court room vas
thronged with these i'll matched pairs, who
looked anything elsa than lovingly tow ard
one another. Frowns disfgured the faces
where smiles should have been, and those
who should have walked hand in hand down
the pathway Of life until they reached The
shores OF eternity, took seats as far removed
from each other as possible. They though.
it contamination even TO sit in the same
room together, and whenever their eyes
CHANGED to meet they 1ashed--not forth the
fire Of love, but that Of hate. deep and last

sentiment OF WISCONSIN

Al meeting of the Democracy Of Wis.
consin, held at JancsVille, on the 50;h ult.,
for the purpose of expressing an opinion rel
alive to the present aspect of affairs in the
territory OF Kansas, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we, Democrats of the
State Of Wisconsin, in mass convention as
sembled, do hereby fully endorse the ad-
minstration of james Buchanan, except so
far as it is committed to the policy of admit
ting Kansas into The Union under the Le-
compton Constitution, without ratification
OF that instrument by full expression oil
the popular will of that territory.
RasolUea, That it ia to the principle o
popular sovereignty, as affirmed by the
Kansas and Nebraska act, and interpreted
by the originator and foremost defender o.
that act, by the Cincinnati Convention, ant
| by all Democratic authority, that the party
! owes The election OF q Democratic President
and Democratic Congress. To secure
this result, the party pledged itself to the
faithful application OF that principle, ant
not without sacrifice OF truth and honor
can we now depart from it.
Resolved, That due regard for the inhe-
rent sovereignty Of the people, as well as {
fair construction OF the organic act OF Kan
sas, requires that The Constitution Of tht
future State of Kansas should emsnate from
ard be approved by, majority of the people
Of that territory. Until it is shown that I
Constitution has these essential prerequisites
it should be utterly disregurded by Congress
Our venerable Pres ident, in his recent mes
sage, demonstrates most conclusively tha
this can be satisfactorily shown only by
vUtc Of the people directly upon the instru-
ment itself BY the acten Of the Consti-
tutional Convention of Kansas, the people
of that territory have been deprived of thiI
right, and Congress lefii without the ONLY
evidence which could establish the authen-
tiCi,y Of that iustrement. 1t is, therefore
the duty Of Congress to reject the Lecomp-
ton Constitution, as lacking the great Gle.
mcnt of its vit,Ii iy.
Resclvcd, That the administration Of tn
affairs Of Kansas by Hon. Robert J. Walk.
er and Frederick P. st, nton, his able CO.
adjator, recommends itself by its wisdom
justice and lirmness, not ony to the peopl
Of the territory, but TO the whole country.
Resolved, That in the glorious struggl
.ch Stephen A. Douglas is making in tn
Senate TO sustain The great principle wit
: VIII ch his name is 80 indissolubly unitet
and to preserve untarnished the faith on
honor Of our party, we bid him q heart
God speed"

ST.. LOUIS, Jan. I2.-The Republican has
received later and cheering advices from the
Utah expedition, dated Dec. LIST.
The troops had been concentrated IN win.
Ter quarters at Fort Bridger, with the excep.
ton of Col. Cooks command, which was
posted 40 miles distant, on Henry's Fort,
where scant supply Of grass remained.
Fort Bridger was being rebuilt for the
purpose Of protecting the provisions. The
troops are comfortably stationed at present
in tents with their stores. The weather had
been very mild, and the health of the troops
remained good. The provisions on hand
were sufficient to last till June with economi.
cal care and short allowance.
The MormODs are preparing to leave for
the British possessions, ard pioneer parties
have already left.
Brigham Young had sent a qpuntiy OF
salt to Col. Johnston. Ishrt officer sent
back word that he would hang any lnessen.
ger from the same quarter on a similar er-
rand. Young had also invited the officers
Of the army to partaks OF his hospita lity at
Salt Lake city. 1t is said that Col. Johns
ton is so well assured that the Mormuns will
leave Utah in the spring, that he asks for
no increase OF the force now under his CON-
muhd. a,. .- f.
Governor Cumming has issued a procIa
nation declaring the Territory to be in q
state Of rebellion, and stating that court
will be organized in Green River county, near
Fort Bridger, (where the proclamation is da.
ted for the trial Of offenders; that posse
of the inhabitants of the Territory will be
first used tc enforce obedience to the laws,
and that faiiing, the military force will b
resorted to. The proclamation commands
all armed bodies of men to Immediately dis.
band and return home on peril Of ofPunishmen'
as traitors.

ImIn,grn IrOn Of Free NcgrOcs,

A bill has been introduced in the Legis.
,laturs to prevent the immigration End settle.
nent Of free emrEcipated negroes in Ohio.
The necessity of tlis measure will be seen
BY every ore who gives the sutjsCt mo-
msnt's tho ught. The southern portion of
the State is overrun with free negroes, and
has for mSny years been a kind Of lszsr
house for the adjoining States. The South
sends it's smancipated slaves to Ohio, " here
'hty settle. AS class, they are poor ard
lazy and the demG nds Of hunger alone drive
them 10 ork; the community must support
tLsm by charity, or they support themselves
BY their. But few Of them ever become
good and law abiding citizens. Self pres.
srvation imperati,el deminis that these
negroes should be prohibited from settling
in the State. Ifoll tie Free States would
prevent, by stringent lave, the immigration

Etatee would be beuI d to take cure Of their

The Voice of the Democracy
in Kansas.

The Democratic Territorial Convention
met at Leavenworth on the 26th. Great
numbers were in attendance. The follow.
ing preamble and resolutions were adopted:
PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, A Convention recently Assem-.
bled at Lecompton. framed and published to
the world an instrument, which they STYLED
"a Constitution for the State of Kansas y
ond which they refused to submit to the peo-
pie for their approval or rejection; and
Whereas, The opportunity has not been
presented to the people Of this Territory to
give an expression Of their opinions as
contemplated in the Nebraska. Kansas Act,
expressed in the Cincinnati Platform, and
directly and expressly reafirmed in the in.
structions Of President Buchanan to Cover.
nor Walker, in the following language:-
"That when such Constitution shall be
submitted to the people of the Territory
they must be protected in the exercise Of the
right of voting for or against that instru-
ment;" and Whereas, such refusal to submit
that instrument was in direct violation of O
cardinal Democratic principle, the right OF
the people to self-governmsnt, the principle
that alone brought the present Administra.
ton into power, and without adherence to
which it must be powerless:
Therefore, we, the Democracy of the Ter
ri.ory of Kansas, in Convention assembled, /,

Surplus Wheat In Cnuo.,,,

The Toronto Colonist, in a statistical ar
ticle on the grain crops of Canada West
states that the surplus wheat on hand is mol
less than 100000 Of bushels, and ,hot nc
facilities exist, unless they are by the Crane
Trunk Railway. for the expectation of thi.
produce. Hitherto Canada has had pur-
thasers for its surplus wheat in every from

purchasers in the New England States ant
New York have regulated prices in Canada
but this year the Uuited States itself has
