Calhoun,s Statement.
WAsHITaroN, Feb. {


Gen. Calhoun is preparing a statement
to the public relative to Kansas affairs
He has said in conversation with friends
and may repeat in his address, that he did
vote in the Convention to submit the en-.
tire Constitution, but was defeated, and
then went for vote on the slavery article
and that there was an attempt to practice
a deception upon him as to the returns
from Delaware Crossing, but that correc
tions give the Legislature to the Free
State party.
He is of the opinion that this leaves no
room for contention. There is every prob
ability that proposition will be offered in
the Senate from the Lecompton Democrat
ic side at the proper time, empbaticaly and
distinctly recognizing the right of the peo-
pie of Kansas to alter their constitution
whenever they see proper, anything in the
Lecompton Constitution to the contrary

pleases.
Mr.. Keitt then came up to Mr.. Grow
and said-"I want to know what you mean
by such an answer as that!"
Mr.. Grow replied-"I mean just what

Mr.. Keitt taking Mr.. Grow by the
throat said-"I viii let you know, that
you are damned Black Republican puppy

The Tomb stone Of Democracy.

The Tomb stone of Democracy.
The Washington States-Pro- Slavery
Democratic-says:
"Is the Lecompton Constitution, which
the people of fKansas discard, worth the sac
rifce Of the Democratic party! 1t is foul
and unhealthy thing to touch. There is
weakness and dissolution in it. If any,
thing were to be gained by it, or even if
nothing were to be lost by it, if We could
even see a guaranty that the Democratic
party could retain its present position there
might be some excuse for its acceptance.
But the contrary is the sure and certain
fate that awaits us if the Democracy adopt
it.
The North must 20 against its con-
science and its faith. The Democracy of
the North legitimately dissolves itself by
the act, and places the Lecompton Consti-
tuition like tombstone over its grave.
The South never was in such position
as it will then be in. Its projects, its faith,
its system, its hopes, its past history, pres
ent designs, and future ambition, will be
at the mercy of violent majority, which
will take the place of its Northern allies.
We say again, as we said before, Kansas
is not worth the sacrifice Of the Democrat
ic party; and then, to sacrifice itself in
direct opposition TO its principals and
faith Of State Rights, is beyond our COM
prehansion.

had drunken husbands. they marched first to
the grocery of a Mr.. PoRrEa, where every vessel
containing liquor of aRy description, was speedi-

of barrels were knocked in, bottles broken, &c,
Mr.. BEsErKs Tavern was next visited, and his
barrels, bottles, &C., were not strong enough to
resist the vengeance of injured woman.
1t is said the streets literally flowed with bad
whiEkey, beer and wine. In the cellars and
rooms of one or two of the groceries, these
healthy beverages stood shoe deep. The
scene is described as very exciting one, op-
posite each grocery, there were about an hun
dred men. cheering the Ladies on. No resis-
tance was offered as it would have been useless.
The Ladies handled their axes with remarkable
skill. single blow being sufficient TO leave a
barrel minus its head. Several speeches were
made by the Ladies, and at the close, each one
was informed that if be again entered into the
tra6c the dose would be repeated.
