President Buchanan's Message
ON SUBMITTING THE :,
"EcCOmptOn Constitution"

WAsiItNdToH, Feb. o. The following
Message was submitted to both Houses
this afternoon
I have received from Gen. Calhoun, the
President of the late Constitutional Con.
vention of Kansas, a copy, duly certified
by himself, of the Constitution framed by
that body, with the expressioA Of hope
that | would submit the same 10 the con-
sderation of Congress, with the view of
securing the admission of Kansas into the
Union as an independent State. In COM
pliance with this request, herewith trans
init tc Congress, for its action, the Consti-
tuiioh of Kahsas; with the ordinance
respecting the Public Lands, as well as
the letter of Gen. Calhoun, dated Lecom.
ton, 18th ult., by which they were ac-
companied.
Ilavin. received but a single copy of
the Constitution and Ordinance, l send
this to the Senate.
A great delusion seems to pervade the
public mind in relation to the condition c f
parties in Kansas. This arises from the
difficulty of inducing the American people
to realize the fact that any portion of them
should be in state Of tbellion against the
Government under which they live When
we speak of affairs in Kansas, we are apt
to refer merely to the existence of two
violent political parties in that Territory,
divided on the question of slavery, Just as
We speak of such parties in the States
This presents no adequate idea of the true
state of the case. l he dividing line there
is not between two political parties, both
acknowledging the lawful existence Of the
Government, but between those who are
loyal to this Government and those who
have erdoayored to destroy its existence
by force and rpation--betwcen those
who sustain and those who have done all
in their power to overthrow the Territorial
government established by Congress This
Government they would long since have
subverted, had it not been protected from
their assaults by the troops Of the United
States. Such has been the condition OF
affairs since my Inauguration. Ever since
that period large portion of the people OF
Kansas have been in Il slate Of rebellion
against the Government, with a military
leader at their head of the most turbulent
and dangerous character, They have never
acknowledged, but have constantly re-
nounced and de6ed the Government tt
which they owe allegiance, and have beer
oil the time in state of resistance against
its authority. They have all the time beer
cndeavoring to subvert it, and establish ;
revolutionary Government under the so
called Topeka Constitution in its stead
Even at this very moment, the Topeka
Legislature is in session. Whoever ha
read the correspondence of Governo
Walker with he State Department, recent.
communicated to the Seuate, will be con
yinced that this picture is not overdrawu

Walked up a California widower.
CHIEF POLITICAL DIVISIONS OF coNr,xrxr.,

Some weeks ago (says the Trinity Jour-
ndt,) we wrote little article entitled
"California Widows" which we did not
consider of much account, but it seems to
have walked many echoes in desolate caves
of mems hearts. A miner of Angel S
Camp, Calaveras county, has sent us the
following response, with this introducto-
ry: Having read beautiful article in
your paper about California Widows
could not help expressing my thanks to
you for the noble sentiments and truths
it contained. If you think the enclosed
worthy of a place, print it; if not, it will
at least show that one California widower' S
heart responds, and his is John Lester
North S."
Now, although we do not approve the
conduct of our "California Widow" in
having gone "galvanting" away down to
Angels Camp, to get herself talked about,
we feel very proud of having written an
humble, unadorned paragraph which could
invoke a response so beautiful, truthful
and alive from the heart.
CALIFORNIA wIDowER's RESPONSE.
Would that we had more who could
draw pictures from their own sad expert
ence of miners life, and encourage us
to work on, hoping, despairing, trusting
to the miners golden-hued tomorrow.
1t is now six years since | left my happy
home to seek my fortune in this State
six long, long years of toiling and strug-
Cling for that which should carry me back
with light heart to the bosom of one
whose tears of desertion distil on the pill
low which she has smoothed thousand
times for one who comes not Yet here
| am, alas struggling like the young for
est pine that peers through the branches
of its more venerable companions, proudly
rearing its tender top to kiss the summer
breeze; yet soon do winters SHOWS fall
gently o'er its tender boughs that bend
unwillingly beneath its feecy load, while
the Fathers of the Forest, as if to punish
its presumption, shake their avalanches
on its poor devoted head, until at last it
is buried beneath its snowy bed, there to
remain until the summers sun shall melt
its load, and bid it rise again.
SO has 1t been with me, friend Mac.
My once ambitious spirit has bent beneath
the load of disappointed hopes, yet still
hoping, trusting, Qike thousands of 9TH
ers) waiting for the sun of prosperity to
SHINE and remove the load from our sad
hearts, and bid us rise and go on our way
rejoicing to those who sstill look for us
hopefully, in innocence, purity and truth. ;
AN OLD MINER.
