Bite of a Rattlesnake Cured in fee minutes by the
PAIS KILLER'.—Read ihefollowing:—St. Louis.
Mo.. August 25th. 1851.—Messrs. Perry Davis &
Son—Gents;—A merchant of Linnoens, in this
State, informs me that recently one of his sons was
severely bitten on the leg by a rattlesnake, from
the effects of which he soon suffered most dreadful
ly. The family chancing to have some of Perry
Davis' Pain Killer in the house immediately com
menced bathing the bitten piace, without knowing
whether it would or not, afford the least relief, but
surprising as it may seem, the poison was soon oh'
served to exude from the wound and in five or
ten minutes the young man fell asleep, entirely
free from pain, or any effect from the bite, except
the flesh wound, which healed very soon, and tlie
young man was able to prosecute his business
without further delay.
By giving publicity to this fact i» your pamph
let designed for southern and western distribution,
and sueh countries as poisnocs reptiles more or less
abound, it might serve the cause-of humanity, and
be the means of supplying an article, the want of

UTAH AND THE MORMONS.
a long letter Irom Fort Laramie, giving a detailed
account of CaptVan Vlipt’s late visit to Utah.
Cape Van Vliet arrived at Salt Lake City on
Sept. 8, and remained there a week. His measure
ment of its distance from Fort Laramie, by the
odometer, was 518 miles, corresponding very near
ly with that of Capt. Stansbury in 1849. Adding
to it the distance of Fort Laramie from Leaven
worth—028 miles, as measured by Brevet Col.
Smith—the total distance of the city from Fort
Leavenworth is 1,146 miles—22 miles less than
that given by Capt. Stansbury.
Ilis Treatment at Salt Lake.—He left his escort
in Ham's Fork, about twenty miles west of Green
river, and proceeded to the city, attended only by
his own servants. He had been assured by every
party he encountered en route fir the States that
his visit would be attended with personal danger;
but ou the contrary, h<* was received and treated
with tb - utmost hospitality, offered many facilities
for ascertaining the condition of the Territory and
disposition of tile inhabitants, and no obstacle
was put to ins departure An official dinner was
given in his honor by Heber C. Kimball, and he
had daily interviews with Brigham Youugand the
other dignitraies of the Mormon Church.
The Hai ats Intend to Eight.—Their expressed d J-
f’o the Mississippi Central and Tennessee Rail- ! termination, from first to last, w as this: to resist at
all hazards the ingress of the troops this autumn.
When they were reminded of the certainty that
in ease their resistance one year should be effect
ual, a force would be despatched to Utah the next
against which twice their population in arms
would strive in vain to close the passes, they re
plied that they had considered all that, and that
when such a force had stormed those passes, they
would enti r a valley in which not one shrub would
be green nor one some remain upon another.
I hey took pains to show him their gardens and
vineyards, their harvest, barns, houses, and live
stock, and to contrast their present prosperity with
such a scene ot desolation. Their object now, they
said, was to gain time to enable tlie National Gov
ernment to retrace its steps; and they intend to
present their case to Congress through their dele-
gat’. Dr. Beruhisel, who accompanied Captain
Van Vliet on his departure, and is now in his
camp.
It was at one period his determination not to
proceed to Washington this winter, but that was
reconsidered.
They said that they would regard the entrance
of the troops as the beginning of a repetition of
their sufferings at lvirtland. Independancc, and
Nauroo: that they bad learned a lesson from expe
rience, and would now meet aggression at the start
and resist the wedge before it should enter the
wood; if they could not keep the troops out this
year they would sacrifice all for their religion, take
to the mountains, and fight a war of glory and ex
termination. Brigham Young remarked repeated
ly that this was the most glorious era of his faith,
and that a happier day never dawned on mormon-
ism than that on which the advance of the troops
was ordered for the more his church was persecu
ted the more it would thrive.
A Sunday in Salt Lake City.—On Sunday, Sept.
13, Capt Van Vli t was asked to attend religious
services in the Bowery, and was escorted to a
prominent seat upon the platform, and invited to
make an address; which invitation he declined.
By counting the number of persons upon certain
tiers ot benches, he estimated the audience to
exceed 4,500 After some remarks by lieber C.
Kimball, a discourse was delivered by Elder Jolm
Taylor, formerly editor ofTlie Mormon, the news
paper organ of the Church in New York city At
the close Mr. T aylor called ihe attention of the
people to the Captain, and alluded to his business
in tlie city,, recounted the substance of his con
versations, and said that he would make a request,
in order that Captain Van Vliet might learn that
that he had been made acquainted w ith the deter
mination of the whole people; lie would ask that all
those present who were willing to raze their houses,
biuti their crops pull dow n what they had passed
ten years in building up, make their beautiful
velley a desert, and retreat to the mountains, in
case the troops should force entrance, would rise;
and the audience, without exception, rose to their
feet, and remained standing long enough to enable
him to see that they were absolutely unanimous.
During the previous proceedings, in order to
answer practically an inquiry by the Captain con
cerning the proportion of foreigners present to
native-born arid naturalized citizens, Mr. Taylor
to the two
bent three-
fonrths of thcaudience complied.
The Force of the Mormons —Tlie Captain con
firms the fact of the concentration of the population
of Utah in Salt Lake Valley, by the abandonment
ofthe remote settlements, and he estimates tba
force ;» Mormons can set in the field at b tween
five and six thousand. They have abandoned the
cobblestone fortification at Fort Bi idger, a descrip
tion of which 1 sent to you from Fort Kearny, as it
was given to me by a party of Californians: and
the men employed there have fallen back about
twenty miles to a redoubt called Fort Supply. He
was also given lo understand that they intend to
recall their missionaries from the States, but not
from foreign countries.
With regard to divisions in the Mormon com
munity, he satisfied himself that there does in
deed exist in .certain quarters a dislike of the
present authorities ofthe Church; but he is also
satisfied that it is in such subjection that nothing
less than the presence of a commanding Gentile
force will enable it to develupe itself.
Military Review . A review of about 500 troops
of tiie Nauvoo Legion was held in his presence.
The arms aud uniforms of the officers were
homogeneous, hut the rank-and-file were as
eccentric in equipment as Down East militia at a
iri-tai! muster. A number of littie boys inarched
in the companies carrying wooden guns Capt. Van.
Vliet states that there is no powder-mill, to his
knowledge, in the Territory, although there is a
manufactory of fire-arms. With regard to pro-
igliain Young told him that the Mor-
road. the Stare has loaned $541,001), the interest
of which has also been promptly met.
The Comptroller, further states, that “in regard
j to the bonds loaned to the several roads now fin-
; islied. I consider the S at* as being already unques-
j tionably secured against any loss. The roads
being self supporting, will, in my judgment, have
nor only ability to pay the interest and a sinking
| fund as required by law, with which to meet the
bonds upon maiurity, their first instalment has
been paid into the truasery, hut will also pay
handsome dividends to the Stoekhold-rs.”
j Up to the present time Tennessee has endorsed
j bonds .o the amount of $*<,265,000. Her liability
| actually and contingent, is $12,337,856 66. Her
i actual indebtedness $4,072,855 66. Her taxable
1 property in 1 J 54 $219, oil <47 si. In 1856,only
t vo years thereafter, this valuation had increased
j $38,11 >0,000, it amounting then to $257.932,867 57.
I And it is computed that in 1857, the valuation has
increased over 1856, at least $40,000,1)00. So
j much for Railroads in Tennessee, and the munifi-
! cence and wisdom of her Legislature.
J 'I he Comptroller of Tennesse alsorstates that in
no event can the Staie suffer by her railroad policy,
as the iron equipments of the roads alone to
whom she has extended aid, will be sufficient to
pay every liability she has incurred. What a les
son for Georgia!
Classes Helped by the Crisis.—The Philadelphia
Ledger says that the present enhanced value of
gold makes it go much further in purchases than it
would have done six months ago, and adds,
‘As a consequence, persons having fixed in
comes. whether they live on the inrerest by
realized capital, or receive determinate money wa
ges, as h , or she, did a year ago,hut actually the
amount brings more than it did then, and therefore,
to the extent of this increase in value, the recipient
1“ hotter off Where mortgages and annuities are
well secured, mortgages a unities will really be
richer tor this crisis; and so will tlie day labourer
be, if the price of wages keep up.
But such parties, after all, are only having their
turn of prosperity. For seven years, or since the
era of expansion frairly set in, they have, been
compelled to see their income annually becoming
less and less adequate to their wants. Ton dol
lars a week has not gone near so f# these several
years, as it once did. Widows living on fixed
jointures, and gentlemen depending on the interest
of ground reuts and mortgages, have been coin-
belled with each returning season, to find they
must cut off a luxuy here, ora comfort there nai to
exceed their income.'’

Hon. R. .If. T. Hunter, of Virginia.—We lay be
fore our readers to-day a letter recently addressed
' by this distinguished Senator from Virginia to one
of his friends and constituents. We do so, not
I because we see in it anything new in regard to the
j Kansas question, or as to the position of a demo
cratic Senator, hailing fioin Ihe South, so far as
I Mr. Buchanan’s administration is concerned: hut
I because the impression had gone abroad that Mr.
Hunter's position was one of hostility to Mr.
Buchanan as well as to Governor Walker. We
see, however, that this distinguished gentleman
asserts in his letter identically the same doctrine j requested all present who belonged t
I that the democracy of Georgia advanced in the late letter classes to raiso their hands, and a
j canvass, and which they’ maintained at the ballot
\ box. where they achieved so glorious a victory. It
i is the doctrine, too of the National Democracy,
j Norith and South; the true doctrine; the doctrine
ofthe patriot and ofthe Constitution.
J The Central America—While the heart swell
with pride at the recital of deeds of heroism done
by our countrymen in India, it is no less grateful
j lo see equally high qualities manifested under
difficulties by our kindred men bey ond the Atlantic.
The wreck of the Central America, fatal and pain
ful as it was, presents instances of composure.,
coolness, consideration, and real heroism, which
dignify humanity. The Captain ofthe ill-fated
vessel was trulv a noble of nature. He died in
tbe discharge of a duty which he might have in
part neglected with impunity; but in him the finest
part of ancient chivarly appeared. In the presence
ot peril the women and children were his first
1 care. He prepim-d to enforce this intention; but
j it was unnecessary. The passengers and crew
I were as resolute, determined, and humane, as
i himself: they seconded him in everything, and
1 ev- n the women were ready to do the work of meu
| in aiding him. Some time ago, Capt. Hall, we
think it was, wrote the account of two wrecks—an
! English am! a Fiench vessel The conduct of the
I Englishmen contrasted finely with the Frenchmen;
they were obedient and fearless. Captain Herndon
and his men behaved not less nobly; and their
; conduct and the conduct of the passengers speak
I irresistibly in favor of the high tone ofthe Ameri-1 visions
can mind. Their country ought to be proud of I mons had a three years’ supply on band to take with
them; all Christendom will praise tlienr

Be a farmrr.—If a young man wants to engage
in business that will insure him in middle file the
greatest amount of leisure time, there is nothing
more sure than fanning. If he has an independent

to engage in a healthy occupation, let him till the
soil. In short, if he would be independent, let
him get a spot of earth, keep within his means,
shun the lawyer, be temperate, avoid tbe doctor,

Death of .ev. Epjty W. Morris.
We were shocked on last Thursday morning to
hear ofthe sudden death of this estimable man.—
Wo saw him at Franklin Court a few days before
apparently in good health, with the prospect of a
long and useful life L’-tore him. But alas! how
uncertain is human life, lie is now numbered
with the things that were.
On Sunday, the 25th nit., he had a sudden at
tack, which rendered loin speechless; and he re
mained in that condition until his death, which oc-
cuired about thirty-four hours after the attack.
Gen. Morris was one ofthe most prominent and
influential men in upper-Georgia, His uniform
gentlemanly bearing aud goodness of heart drew
around him many warm and devoted friends.—
While he was thoroughly Democratic in his polit
ical views, lie always treated his opponents with
courtesy aud kindness, and although he always
took a leading part in the discussion of questions
before the people, we suppose he has not left an en
emy behind. How few are there of whom this can
be said. The people of Franklin county uiay well
mourn his loss, for he was one of their most useful
citizeus.
He was buried with Masonic honors. His be
reaved relatives and friends have our heart-felt
sj mprthies. Peace to his ashes!

and I, therefore, gentlemen, crave your indul
gence while engaged in learning to discharge the
functions of my office. In the occupancy of this
seat, I shall always endeavor to be free from party
feeling, and personal feeling, aud all kinds of feel
ing not consistent with the responsibilities of my
position, and shall always be guided by a desire of
promoting the honor and interest of my State. I
shall fill the office as a senator, and as such, ad
minister its rules and regulations. I shall know
no section, no locality, no party: but the whole
and undivided State. And while I trust that I
shall not be insensible and recreant to party ob
ligations, I s hall never swerve from the rigid
enforcement of what duty requires of me.
When this hammer shall fall for the last time. 1
shall be satisfied if ray count.ymen say, “Well
done, thou good and faithful servant.”
Mr. Underwood, of Floyd, having been escorted
[to the Chair, returned his thanks to the House iu
the following neat aud appropriate address.
Gcntlene n of the House uf Reprcscntaivcs:—Never
haviug occupied this position before to-day, I feel
tiuly complimented by the honor you have
bestowed upon me, ou this, occasion. To say
that I am thankful, would be a feble expression
of my gratitude. Having had no experience in
the duties ol my office I would ask your indulgence
while learning them.

Democratic Meeting at the Capital)
Milledgeville, 10th Nov., 1857.
On the evening of the loth of November, in
pursuance of previous notice a large and respec
table Convention of the Democracy of Georgia,
consisting of members of the Legislature, visi-
itors, and distinguished members ot the party
from every section ot the State, assemolcd in the
Hallof the Houseof Representatives in the Capitol.

ner of Merriwether, and Hon. A. H. Chappell of
Bibb, to act as Vice Presidents ; Alex. M. Speer,
Esq., of Bibb, and W. B. Terhune, Esq., of Floyd,
were appointed Secretaries.
Gov. Johnson on assuming the duties of the
Chair, addressed the Convention for a few min
utes in tones of congratulation at the great vic
tory the Party had achieved in the recent contest,
with earnest and eloquent exhortation to continue
in the great and glorious purpose of defending
the Constitution and upholding the rights of tiie
South by maintaining the ascendency of tlie De
mocratic Party of the Union against the attack
of Abolition fanatics.
On rosuminghis seat the Hon. Alexander H.
Stephens moved the appointment of a Committee
of three from each Congressional District, to re
port business lor the meeting.
The President appointed under this resolution:
From the 1st District.—lion. James L. Seward
of Thomas, Alex. Atkinson of Camden, and Geo;
P. Harrison, Esq., of Chatham.
From the 2d.—Hon. Joint A. Tucker of Stew
art, Wm. M. Slaughter of Dougherty and John
C. Mounger of Dooly.
From the 3rd.—Hon. Wm J Jossov of Spalding,
Abner Lockett of Bibb, and Riley of Taylor.
From the 4th.—IIou. Hugh Buchanan of Cow
eta, Janies Johnson of Fayette, J. I. Whitaker of
Fulton.
From tlie 5th.—lion. A. R. Wright of Floyd,
H. J. Sprayberry of Catoosa aud Wm, Luffman
of Murray.
From the Oth.—Hon. If. Strickland of Forsyth,
us keep prominent before, us the honor aud interest j Sumner J. Smith of I owns, aud J. Knox ot Fiank-
of our State. Let ail our efforts be turned towards
keeping the one and protecting the other.
I was born on Georgia soil, and I am proud of
that fact—Georgia is a great State—great in her
soil—great in her climate—great in her agricultrual
resources aud internal improvements, and it should
be a matter of pride with us that we make her equal
ly great in her educational advantages. Let us
establish such a school system that any mau can
attain any education that lie desir
Lei us also, gentlemen, endeaver to soften, by
constant courtesy, the asperities ofparty feeling,
and let every act be for the promotion of the
interest of the State. 1 again repeat to you my
sincere thanks.
Departure of Walker's Erpedition.—The Mobile
papers, of Wednesday last, says that the depart
ure ofthe Quaker City, together with the unex
pected arrival of the war steamer Fulton, on Tues
day, gave rise to various rumors yesterday inor-
ning, relative to the destination of the Quaker
City. It was confidentially asserted by some that
she had left with 500 men for Nicaragua. To sub
stantiate this, it was stated that the Captain and
Purser had been repeatedly seen in the company
of prominent filibusters. Others had heard that
she had brought out from New York a lot of pi
anos, in cases, which had not been landed, conse
quently, it was reasonable to suppose that the pi
ano cases contained muskets.
The sailing of the Cahaba at the same time, from
New Orleans, caused others to believe that she
had hurried off so as to intercept that steamship at
| the mouth of the Mississippi, and take from her
such passengers and ammunition as she might
have taken ou board at New Orleans for Nicara-
gua. .
The Baltimore Patriot gives the following re
sult of the election in Maryland:
Hon T. Holliday Hicks, Governor;
“ W. H. Prnnell, Comptroller:
W. L. Seabrook. Com. Land Office.
Maj. D. H McPhail, Lottery Com.
The Senate and House of Delegates are both
American. Congress will stand—
1st Dist., not heard from, (doubtful.)
2d “ J. B. Ricaud. (A.)
3d “ J. M. Harris, (A.)
4th “ H. W. Davis, (B. R.)
5th “ Kunkle, (D. gain.)
6th “ Bowie, (D.)
The election passed off with less trouble than
usual. It establishes one fact, which some per
sons have been inclined to doubt, that Baltimore
is an abolition city, or rather the preponderating
influence there is so. Notwithstanding tlie con
duct of Henry Winter Davis at the last session of
Congress—voting, as he did, with the Black Re
publicans—the people of Baltimore have iv-elected
| him to represent them in Congress. The people of
the South will please bear iu mind the conduct of
this Southern City.
Arrival of (hr Cars at Albany.
Tlie first train of cars over tlie Georgia
and Florida Railroad arrived at Albany on
the 5th. The Patriot, in announcing this
important event in this history of Albany,
says : “To-day our citizens realize the
great object for which our community has
been struggling through the past two years,
ilia connection with the vast railroad sys
tems of the State and the Union. Their
exertions have been commendable, and
j their success equal to their most sanguine
expectations. We rejoice with onr com-
■ munity and with the people of this section.
: Railroad facilities were all that was want-
led to make this the most wealthy and at
tractive part of our goodly State. Albany
is now the most convenient point for ship-
| ping the produce of a large and fertile see-
j tion, and it will doubtless he one of the best
j interior markets of tlie State.”
Columbus Sun.
A Fortunate State.—The Little Rock (Arkansas)
Democrat says that the Treasury of Arkansas is
ovorfiowing with gold and silver. The various
funds are enumerated that have their hundreds of
thousands of the hard. The Treasury has no
bank-notes; except a small old bank debt, does
not owe a cent, and has in her strong box more
gold and silver than will keep the government for
two years withont any further taxation.
There are no hanks in Arkansas, and the taxes
arc paid in gold and silver, and the State pays out
nothing but tliatkind of currency
Arrest of Gen. IYm. Bother.—New Orleans, Nov.
II.—Gen. W m. Walker was arrested in this city
late last night on an affidavit made by one of the
Custom House officers. Gen. Walker was admit-
ed to bail in the sum of two thousand dollars.
‘ Holoictty's Ointment and Pil/s.—The family med
icine chest that is furnished with these two power
ful remedies needs nothing more. Eruptions,/sores,
wounds, nlcrs, tumors, and stiff joints are infalli
bly cured by the Ointment; and ail affections of the
bowels, stomach, and fiver, by the Pills. To
avoid purchasing pernicious counterfeits of these
invaluable remedies, which may be in the market,
look narrowly to the Water-mark iu the book of
direciions. Unless tbe words" Holloway Sew York
oud London,” are discernable in semitransparent
letters, on holding the leaf to the fight the same is
spurious.
Thou shalt not steal; this of course means that
every man has aright to his own, and which may
not be taken from him without his consent. We
are obliged to place in the uncomfortable catalogue
of theivi s those persons who are now endeavoring
to take from Messrs. Fleming Bros, of Pittsburgh,
their well earned reputation as manufacturers of
Dr. M’Lane’s justly celebrated Vnnifuge and
Liver Pills. There are now afloat imitations of
these valuable medicines well calculated to de
ceive. We look upon such frauds as trilling with
the lives of tiie public, and warn all purchasers to
buy trom none but dealers of well known reputa
tion for honesty. The genuine articles are signed

Another Milk Story.—We are in
formed by Horace Metcalf, Ivsij. of Charles
town, that lie has a cow which gave three
hundred and fifteen pounds of milk in seven
days—being an average of forty-five pounds
of milk per day. The milk was of good
quality and made about twelve pouds -of
butter taking twenty six pounnds of milk
to make a pound of butter. The cow is of
common size and of tiie native breed.—
Newport N. II. ArguS.
Brunswick Naral Depot.—“Ion,” the Washing
ton correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, thus ex
plains the attitude of this project:
There are no preceptible evidences of a reduc
tion by tin- government of expenditures on the
public works. Ou the contrary, there appears to
be an unusual degree of activity at tlie navy yards.
It was recently stated that the Secretary of the
Navy would refuse to carry into effect the provi
sion made by congress, at the last session, for the
purchase of Blythe Island for a naval depot. But
this, it is now said, is a mistake, like many other
reports in regard lo a reduction of expenditures.—
’1 lie title of the island has not yet been examined
aud approved by tiie Attorney General, nor has the
State of Georgia ceded to the United States juris
diction over the land to be se eced for the depot.
The Legislature will, no doubt, do this at the ap
proaching session.
7he Grand Jury of Houston County.—In the
presentments of the Grand Jury of Houston
county, at the fall term of the Suporior Court, we
find the following:
We have made out, from the Receiver’s book, a
list of children entitled to the benefits of the Poor
School Fund, but we are satisfied that said book
does not contain, by a considerable number, a cor
rect census of children as required by law. So that
we fear there are many who may not enjoy the
benefits of this benign provision.
Iu connection with this subject, we dare ex
press our opinion that the time has come when the
legislature ot our State should, by sale of a portion
or all of the Western and Atlantic railroad, or
otherwise, raise a fund sufficient to establish in our
Empire, State of the South, a system of common
school education.
We recommend to our ensuing legislature the
abolishing of our existing usury laws, thereby
bringing much more cash capital into competition
with the banks, facilitating trade, and prventing
unlawful dealing.
This body would also respectfully ask the legis
lature to take into careful consideration the pre
sent condition of our banks, the insecurity of bill
holders, and the pressure upon the great interest
of our State, particularly the paramount planting
interest. We presume not to point out remedies
for tlie existing evils, bnt appeal to “the assembled
wisdom of our State,” to prevent them, if possible,
in the future.

The Committee having retired, in a short time
returned and reported the following resolutions
which were unanimously adopted :
1st. Resolved, That this meeting reaffirms their
approbation of, and ardent attachment to, tlie prin
ciples ofthe Kansas and Nehraskaact, and ofthe
Cincinnati Platform, in relation thereto, and that
in view ofthe state of affairs in Kansas, we recur
with especial emphasis to the following resolutions
of that Piatfoim:
1. Resolved, That claiming fellowship with, and
desiring the co-opera ion of all who regard the pre
servation ofthe Union under the Constitution as
the paramount issue—and repudiating all section
al parlies and platforms concerning domestic slave
ry, which seek to embroil the States and incite to
treason and armed resistenee to law in the Territo
ries; aud whose avowed purposes, if consummated
—must end in civil war and disunion—the Ameri
can Democracy recognise and adopt the principles
contained in the organic laws establishing the
Territories of Kansas and N< braska as embodying
the only sound and safe solution of the “slavery
question” upon which the great national idea of
this whole country can repose its detei mined con
servatism of the Union—Aim interference by Con
gress tcilh slavery instate and Territory, or in the
District of Columbia.
2. That this was the basis of the Compromises
of 1851)—confirmed by both the Democratic and
Whig parties in national Conventions—ratified by
the people ill the election of 1852—and rightly ap
plied to the organization of Territories in 1854.
3 That by the uniform application of this Demo
cratic principle to the organization of territories,
and to the admission of new States, with or with
out domestic slavery as they may elect, the equal
rights of ali the States will be preserved intact—
the original compacts of the Constitution main
tained inviolate—aud the perpetuity and expan
sion of this Union insured to its utmost capacity
of embracing, in peace and harmony, every future
American State that may be constituted or annex
ed with a republican form of government.
Resolved, That we recognize the right of the
people of all the Territories, including Kansas
and Nebraska, acting through the legally aud fairly
expressed will of a majority of actual residents,
and whenever the number of their inhabitants
justifies it; to form a Constitution with or with
out domestic slavery, and be admitted into the
Union upon terms of perfect equality with the
other States.
2d. Be it further Resolved, by this meeting,
That tlie princi{ les and sentiments embodied and
set forth in President Buchanan’s Inaugural Ad
dress, being in conformity with the above and
foregoing resolves, meet our cordial approval: and
his general Administration thus far, meets our
like approval.
3d. Resolved, That the position of Gov. Walk
er. in his Inaugural Address, in throwing the
weight of his official opinion, founded upon cli-
mati, Ac., against the Southern side of the ques
tion in the Territory; in proclaiming that the Con
stitution of Kansas should be submitted for rati
fication, as the only mode of adoption when “the
legally and fairly expressed will ofthe majority of
the actual residents” of the Territory, might de
termine upon another, and in declaring the class
of voters to whom only it should be submitted,
when “the legally and fairly expressed will of a
majority of the people “might determine otherwise,
was in plain palpable, aud dangerous violation of
ihe principles of the Kansas Act, as set forth and
embodied in the foregoing Resolutions.
4th. Resolved, That in our judgment, from the
fights before us. this conduct on the part of Gov.
Walker, as well as his late illegal interference
with the returns of election iu Kansas, require
his removal.
5th. li’-solved. That whenever a territory ap
plies for admission as a State into the Union, with
a cons'itution republican in form, and adopted in
pursuance ofthe requirements of law. Congress
has no power to inquire into the matter of such
constitution, nor into the manner of its adoption,
farther than to see that it embodies the legally
and fairly expressed will of the majority of the
people, ascertained in such way as they may have
legally determined for themselves, and we regard
any interference by Congress, with either the mat
ter or the manner as above stated, as equally un
constitutional and dangerous to the rignts of the
States.
6th. R .solved, That we regard a strict and rigid
adherence to these principles, without looking to
thoactual results of their practical operation, as es
sential to the peace, and safety of the Union, as
well as the rights of the South, and we look, not
only to the Southern-Democracy, but to the North
ern Democracy, to see to it, that they are firmly
maintained and carried out in good faith, iu prac
tice as well as theory.
Upon loud and repeated calls the Hon. Alex. II.
Stephens ascended the stand aud for one hour and
a half, with an eloquence unrivalled and a power
of argument unanswerable enchained the atten
tion of the vast auditory, crowding floor, vestibule,
and gallery.
After concluding, the Convention adjourned.

From Kansas and Utah.
A Kansas correspondent of tlie St.
Louis Republican, under date of October
20, writes as follows :
“Since the election I have been 110
miles into the Territory as far west as tlie
Big Blue river, qt Marysville, now called
Palmetto.
“At that place I saw Captain Van Vliet,
who was returning from the Salt Lake ex
pedition. He is the confidential agent of
the government, and well adapted to his
position, is a man of age, energy, and com
manding appearance. The Mormons re
fuse to allow the United States troops to
enter within the walls of the city. They
are determined on setting up business for
themselves. Brigham loung declares pub
licly and privately that he will burn the
praires and cut off the feed, so that the ani
mals of our troops will be destitute of subsis
tence, aud barn his own city, if needs he,
ere he will submit to the demands of the
United States government. The forts
along the way are represented in bad re
pair, aud not sufficient protection to our
troops. It is believed an additional supply
of cavalry and a less number of cavalry and
a less number of infantry will be best ad
apted to give chase to the hostile Indian
tribes, who have heretofore been trouble
some by the way—best calculated to over
awe them, and. in case of collision, will do
better service. Captain Van Vliet acconi-
paies Quartermaster Bryant to Fort Leav
enworth, which place they will probably
reach to-day. They bring out with them
a drove of mules, many of which w ill be
condemned as unfit for service, and sold.
Between Palmetto and Kenokuk part of
the drove made their escape by night
through the carelessness or the herdinau.
Capt. Van Viliet has made a very quick
trip to Salt Lake and back. He will has
ten immediately on to Washington with
important despatches.”
Massacre of Government Troops.—Chicago Nov.
II.—Reports have reached St. Pauls ofthe massa
ere of five hundred Government troops by Indians.
It is believed that the troops butchered were a
part of the Utah expedition.
