GOVERNOR GEARY ON THE LEcoMPToN CONSTR
TUTIoN.-Fx- Governor Geary has written a let
ter to gentleman in Kansas, dated Dec. Is,
1857, condcmnitory of the Lecompton scheme,
He makes the following important statements
G In my veto message upon the bill authoriz-
ing the Constitutional Convention, | waived all
minor objection to it and dwelt alone upon the
fact that the bill contained no clause authorizing
and directing the submission of the Constitution
to the people for their ratification or rejection.
In conference with the committees of the two
houses, by whom the bill had been reported, |
proposed to sign the bill, provided they would
insert in it section authorizing the submission
of the Constitution as above indicated. But
they distinctly informed me that the bill met the
appreciation Of their friends at tho Somth-that
it lcas not their intention the Constitution should
erer be submitted TO the people, and that to all in
tents and purposes it was like the laws OF the
Modes and Persians, aud could not be altered.
Upon the vital principle of submission alone the
bill was vetoed, and itnow affords me no ordina-
ry pleasure to find that took the initiative step
in this great question which now agitates the
entire nation, and that good and patriotic cti-
zens unanimously, everywhere, sustain the prin-
ciples laid down in that message"
No TRoUBLE.-The administration papers
which are seeking to forcea slavery constitution
upon the people of Kansas, are vainly trying
to make us believe that there is no trouble
among the Democracy in doingit But the pa
pers at the South say some things which argue
the reverse. Hear the Richmond, Va, South.
"UNronTuNATE-It is deeply to be regretted
that Just as it has been ascertained beyond ques
ton that the Constitution of Kansas, containing
distinct recognition of the legality of slavery,
has been adopted by majority of all the regis
tered voters of that State-just as the Abolition
party of Kansas have acquiesced in the new
Constitution, and organized for its modification
or repeal-just when the Administration of Mr.,
BucA ANAN had planted itself upon the legality
of the Lecompton Constitution, and all patriots
were preparing to hang up their armor, batter
ed with the strife of years. and unite In one uni
versal declaration of harmony and happiness
it should become necessary to disabuse the
Northern mind of the belief that there is any
dissension whatever amongst the Democracy,
North or South, upon the propriety of an inn
mediate admission of Kansas into tho Union
with full liberty to make or unmake Constitu-
tons to the full content of her heart"
HAVE YOU TRIED IT?-Where all other prepar.
ations have failed to give satisfaction, the PER
SIAN BALM has proved a popular corrective
for foul breath, as preventative to the teeth
and most delightful article for the toilet. Il
is applied to burns, scalds, cold sores, &C., with
never failing success The universally of it
adaptation has never been surpassed. 1t is really
a multum an paruo.
Is CONSUMPTION CURABLE.-We cannot doub
that in many cases of seated Consumption
cure has been effected solely by the use of tn
Wild Cherry preparation of DR.. Wistar. 1t
healing effects are certainly wonderful.
