I'VE understand that Judge oi
the Supreme Court of the State of Kan
sas, under the Topeka Constitution, gave
it as his legal opinion at Leavenwortk, the
other day, that when We are admitted
into the Union as a State, that we can
disregard the Constitution under which
we are admitted, and go TO work under
any other Constitution we please. We
are apprehensive our learned Judge
might find his opinion slightly at variance
with the law should he attempt move
mentof that character.

The steamer ScIoto.

Mr.. EprToR:-We took a trip up the river
last week on the steamer Seioto. and we can
chcerfully say TO the travelling community
that IL they wish to travel luxuriously speed
lily, and with polite officers they should call
on the gentlcmanly Clerk, Mr.. Duncan, to
have themselves booked.
No pains are spared for the comic o.
travellers, and especially in the ladies' cabin,
where every attention is paid to the ladies by
the servants.
The Scioto is owned by the Messrs. Dun
can, formerly owners of the Eaves, and Capt.
Ballard, and a more gentlemanly set of Off
GERS cannot be fonnd. The steamer Scioto
for safety, luxury and comfort, cannot be sur
passed by any boa: on the river.
We trust our citizens will give the Sciotc
the preference, and We think she has claim
to such encouragement as will justify he,
owners in continuing her in the trade.
Heretofore the packets in the trade between
here and Louisville, excepting the Eaves. q,
soon as they found it for their interest hav,
withdrawn.
We wish her owners success, far beyonc
their expectations, in their new enterprise.

~ Captain Marcy and his cscor. arrived |

to Captain Marry and his escort arrived
safely at Santa Fe, New Mexico, on tho 95th
Of January, having left Fort Bridger on the
2sth of November. This is said to be the
first time this route has been traversed in
mid winter. The energy and perseverance
displayed BY the party in conquering the gi-
gantic obstacles they had to contend with on
the route, are said to be almost incredible.
They encountered several snow storms in the
mountains, and for ESQ miles waded through
hard packed snow, lying from two to five feet
deep. For ten days, near the summit OF the
Rocky Mountains, they only made about
! three miles day, and tins with the severest
exertion and labor upon the men and AMI
mals-the men taking the lead TO break d
track for the mules, and often being obliged
to crawl upon their hands and knees, and Il,
other times up to their necks in snow. The
animals suffered much for sustenancc, al
grass could OILY be obtained by digging
through Che deep snow. and forty out of six
ty persisted from starvation and cold. Fol
eleven days they subsisted entirely on starv.
ed mules and horses, without bread or salt
One Of the party died upon the route, ant
several were badly frozen. This expedition
is said to have been attended with a create
amount OF suffering than any that has beior;
been made across the mountains.

APPLYING THE TEsr.-Tha State Commit
tee, appointed by the Ant-Lecompton Con-
vontion of the Esd ult., have presented the
platform Of that Convention to the candi-
dates for the State offices, nominated on the
sth Of January, for their acceptance or re-
lection. Judge Perkins is the only one who
has, as yet, replied to the communication.
He makes the following response, leaving the
reader in doubt which he considers paramount
authority, the platform of the sth Of jan
uary, or that of the esd of February:
Upon the platform of the sth Of January
and the letter of the candidates Of tho 22d
of January l stand; and were the platform
Of the Esd Of February in conflict theruwith,
certainly should hesitate long before adopt
ing it, while I remained the nominee of the
Convention Of the Sth. But concurring with
you that "from a perusal" of the platform o:
the esd, any one :" will easily perceive that
nothing has been engrafted into this platform
about which there is or can be any difference
of opinion among Indiana Democrats. The
resolutions indicative OF the Democratic State
policy are but re-iterations of the doctrines
for which our party has battled for the last
thirty years, and the resolutions expressive of
the banner principle of the Democracy during
the last few years, Popular Sovereignty and
the practical application thereof, are but an
exposition Of the last and most important
resolution of the Convention which nomi-
nated me, and in accordance with my own
construction, published upon private in
quiry.n / cheerfully, IN this view, accept II.
limit my answer, as you do your inquiry,
to the part OF the proceedings Of the 2Sd,
particularly designated as THE Platform OF
| Principles"
Very respectfully, your obedient servant.

TnE MoRMoSs.-A letter from Washing
ton says that NJ. Bernheisel the Mormon del
cgate. received large batch of official docu
ments by the last mail from Salt Lake. Brig
ham informs Bernheisel in so many words
that unless the army is withdrawn from their
Territory, not one of the men will ever re-
turn to the United States alive. He urges
the United States to send commission to
Utah TO examine into the state of affairs at
present existing ia their Territory. He alleg-
es that all the reports circulated in the States
against them were concocted by the vaga-
bonds who were sent out by former admins
trations to govern them.
His letter breatlles unrelenting war unless
the administration take his advice and
withdraw the army from their Territory.

r The long excited discussion Of
slavery for thirty years. instead Of des-
troying the institution, seems to have re-
suited in a retrogradion Of the popular
views in regard to it. It's supporters, at
least have grown more bold and conf.
dent in their support Of it, and in place Of
abolishing it, they have become the stren-
uous advocates for its extension, and the
renewal Of the Slave trade. Instead Of
apologies for it as an admitted wrong and
evil, arguments are boldly advanced to
prove it to be right and condition sane
toned by Scripture, and for the highest
good Of both races. This result Of the
heated and passionate controversy upon
the subject contains a useful moral for
those who have engaged in it as sincere
and devoted laborers for the good of the
country, as we'll as the slave. Heated
partizan discussions and violent political
contests are not the agencies to accomp-
lish great moral and practical reforma-
ton. If the spirit that actuated the ear
liest Abolitionists, who were Shareholders
and sustained by shareholders, had been
undisturbed in its benevolent labors,
the state Of the question Of negro slavery
would have been different from what il
is at the present day. Will not the i'll
results OF the past suggest wiser course
for the future?
The last new support slavery has
obtained, is the extraordinary discovery
of Senator Benjamin Of Louisiana, an
nounced in his speech in the Senate On
Thursday. Mr.. Benjamin is one of the
most acute and able lawyers in the
South. He declares slavery to be crea
ture of the common law, that great PAN
oply of private rights and justice. This
is certainly the last place an enquirer
would have searched for its foundations
and none but such an acute searcher as
Mr.. Benjamin would have found support
of his fayorite institution in that incom
parable charter of human rights. But II
is not more strange that the justification
of slavery should be found in Blackstone
than in the Bible. According to pro
slavery reading now, they are found il
both. Slavery has been co-existent will

washed for him, supplied him with man.

his position as comfortable 40 possible. A
length through the perseverance of his lawyc,
he man was released, and on the following
day married the washerwoman according t.
