TEKIBLE COLLISION AT SEA.
Lou of the steamship Opelousas—Oen. Hamil
ton among the lost.
Auousta, Nov. 18.—The Texas steamship
Opelousas, bound from Berwick Bay to Galves
ton came in collision with the steamer Galvcs-
toa at midnight of Sunday the lath inst., and
sunk immediately. Twenty-five persons per
ished in the disaster, among them Gen. James
Hamilton, of South Caroliua. All the officers
and crew were saved.
TIttuiksgiving.
It will be seen by the Proclamation pub
lished to-day, that Governor Brown bas ap
pointed next THURSDAY, the 26th instant,
os a day of Public Thanksgiving. The au
thorities of nearly every State in the Union
have fixed on the same day.
It is presumed that business will be gener
ally suspended on that day in Macon, and
that the Churches will he open for public ser
vice. Wc have been requested by Rev. Mr.
Evans, of the Methodist Church, to say that
there will be public service in that Church, at
half past ten in the morning, and that he
omitted to make this appointment on Sunday,
through inadvertence. Wc have also received
the following notice :
THANKSGIVING DAY.
Divine Service in Christ Church commenc
ing at half past ten. A. M. The public are
invited.
Rt. Rev. Bishop Paynk, of tho Methodist Epis
copal Church South, preached in this city on Sun
day morning last to an overwhelming audience.
Bostick & Kkix, call attention to their offer, in
good faith to dispose of their desirable stock at Mete
York cost! Give them a call and they will redeem
their promise.
It is a misfortune of Doctors and Lawyers
that one can’t wish them “a plenty of practice”
without a kind of moral treason to the commu
nity. The LaGrango Reporter, announcing
that E. Y. Hint., Esq., has entered upon the
duties of Solicitor General for that District,
wishes him “plenty of cases worthy of prose
cuting” during liis official term. That must
be pretty near indictable.

The Washington correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Press ha; the following in reference
to the forthcoming President’s Message :
Washington, Nov. 11, 1857.
“It is rumored that Mr. Buchanan, in his
first annual message to Congress will take bojd
ground on the currency question ; that he will
reaffirm the principles laid down so clearly in
his celebrated speech on the Independent
Treasury bill. He believes that it was the in
tention of the framers of the Constitution to
establish a hard money currency, and that the
action of Congress since has been a steady de
parture from that intention. It will be his db-
ject, then, to retrace the false steps taken, and
to bring the Government back to the true
ground.
‘The issue will be made in the next Congress
whether State Banks have the Constitutional
power to issue circulating ‘promises to pay.'
There will bo a large party to take the nega
tive of the argument, who will not, it is said,
yield until a decision has been given on the
question by the Supreme Court of the United
States. A general bankrupt law for the Banks
will be presented for action.—This will provide
a fixed legal course for putting into liquidation
insolvent banks all over the Union.”
The Press, it will be recollected, is owned
by Col. Forney, an intimate personal friend of
the President, and hence wc Lope that this is
something more than mere gossip. We arc
no run mad anti-bank man—we are for noth
ing violent, but we believe
1st. That any necessity which might have
existed for u paper currency, has disappeared
in the abundant and increasing supply of pre
cious metals, and that, therefore, banks of is
sue ought to be discontinued, by the refusal
to renew expiring hank charters, and by an
nulling them for sufficient reasons. The poli
cy of the country should now be steadily and
persistently anti-bank.
2d. That in this way only, can those violent
pecuniary revulsions be prevented, which ex
pose every man, however prudent, to imminent
dauger of ruin twice or thrice during an ordi
nary business career. That the hanking sys
tem tends certainly and inevitably to increas
ing expansion up to the poiut of collapse, be
cause it substitutes for specie a mere credit ba
sis of credits, and piles up a superstructure on a
shifting and uncertain foundation. Every ex
pansion by the Ranks increases nominal values,
and these inflated values again re-act on the
banks and are made the hasisof still further ex
pansion. We measure property by the price it
will command, and that price is regulated by
the abundance or scarcity of money. The
man who bought Illinois Central stock three
mouths ago at 8140, thought he was doing a
good husiuess, hut it seemed a doubtful trans
action to him who bought the same stock a lit
tle while after Tor $130, while he who bought
it a month ago for thirty or forty dollars, laughs
at both. Neither could be called imprudent as
things stood. lie could have no other light
than existing valuations, and the hanks which
took the stock as collateral or other security
and loaned money upon it, were in the same
condition. So, also, of the whole 700 millions
Rail Road stock which fell in value $350,000,-
000 in a few days. The redundant hank cir
culation had helped to push up stock aud all
other property, aud the inflated value of pro
perty, in turn, helped to push more money
out, aud thus they were soaring upwards ou
'I'Im* dlortiions in open War
The worst prophesies are fulfilled in regar
to the probable attitude of the Mormons
Utah—these deluded people are in open r
volt against the Government, and an overt act
of rebellion has been consummated. Early
October last, three trains of wagons transport
ing supplies for the army, were destroyed aud
the provisions captured. The drivers were
not molested, and there seems to have been
no escort party with the trains. They were
ninety miles behind the vanguard of the army,
under Col. Alexander. Col. Albert S. John
son in command of the expedition, was, when
last heard from, about 22d October, two bun
dred and thirty miles west of Fort Laramie on
his march. Despatches from both have been
received by the Government at Washington
enclosing two documents from Brigham Young.
The first declares that, under act of Congress
and in virtue of the fact that no successor bas
been appointed and qualified, he is still Gov
ernor of Utah, and thcreforei he says :
By virtue of the authority thus vested in mo,
have issued anil forwarded to you a copy of my
proclamation forbidding the entrance of armed for
ces into the Territory. This you have disregarded.
I now further direct that you retire forthwith from
the Territory, by tbe same route you entered.,
(should you deem this impracticable, and prefer
remain until Spring in the vicinity of your present
Gi
encampment—-Black Fork on Green River—you
can do so in peace and unmolested, on condition
that you deposit your arms and ammunition with
Lewis Robinson, Quartermaster General of the Ter
ritory, and leave in tho Spring, as soon as tho con
dition of the roads will permit you to march ; and
should you fall short of provisions, tlioy can bo fur
nished you upon making the proper application
therefor,
The second is a Proclamation by the same
authority, to the people of Utah, in which, af
ter charging the United States Government
and people with insult, betrayal, plunder and
butchery of the Mormons, on account of their
religious faith, he announces the following
conclusions:
The issue which has thus been forced upon us

SARRI-THE POINTS OF THE TREATY.
Washington, Nov. 17, 1857.
Mr. Yrissarri was formally presented to the
President of the United States at one o’clock
to-day, and received as Minister from Nica
ragua, after which the treaty negotiated was
signed by himself and Secretary Cass. The
treaty provides—
First—For the maintenance of two free
ports, one at each end of the Transit line.
Secondly—Tho United States guarantees
the protection and neutrality of the Transit
but names no particular Company.
Thirdly—The Transit is to he open to all
nations on equal terr.ia.
Fourthly—Tho United States reserve the
right to transport the mails iu their own ves
sels when they find it convenient so to do.
Fifthly—Provides, in the usual terms, for
friendship, commerce and navigation between
the two countries.
Tho nbove is tho substance of the treaty, ns
procured from a reliable source.
No one was present at the presentation of
Mr. Yrissarri, but the Secretary of State and
the President.
Col. Duncan.
The Washington correspondent of the Phi
ladelphia Press says: “It is the subject of
general remark, that Col. Duncan, of the U.
S. flying artillery, has joined Walker in his
present invasion of Nicaragua. Col. Duncan
hns not even resigned his commission in the
United States army. This, together with his
connection with a filibuster movement, pre
sents adclicnte que-ston to the Administration.”

that we antedate the Telegraph by about 12
hours. Our apprelicnsious in the Telegraph
of the 17th that the last week of cotton grow
ing had passed for the season, were signally
verified by two cold days on Friday and Sat
urday, such 88 do not very oftcu occur during
the Winter in this region. Ice formed in tubs
and buckets to the thickness of three quarters
of an inch. The ground stiffened and remain
ed so, except in sunny spots, during the
whole of the six hours. The crop account is
closed, and it remains to be seen how it will
foot up.
Stocks and Stock.
The New York papers represent stocks in o
Wall street to be soaring upwards again, like plcnish their empty vaults. Between the two
I each others wings, almost out of sight of real
values measured by a specie basis.
3d. That when this inflated credit bubble
is thus blown beyond its utmost tension and
collapse ensues, we drop like a shot from this
aerial flight down to specie valuations or
something near them. TJicu, as a consequence,
the business man finds his debts practically
very largely increased and his assets ns large
ly diminished. He is cramped, embarrassed
and, it may be, ruined, without fault or impru
dence on his part. He lias merely incurred
obligations upon one standard of valuation and
must discharge them on another. Then how
differently bank statements arc looked upon!
In flush times almost everything is accepted as
an "asset," but when the pinch comes the eye
rests solely on the item "specie.” Then hanks
crowd debtors—“accommodations” are no
where—runs commence, and after a brief, vein
struggle to sustain their credit, the hanks sus
pend. Theu all is distrust, embarossment and
confusion. All the circulating medium is
looked upon with doubt, and a portion becomes
worthless. Those who are out of debt, alike
afraid of bonk bills and property in its uncer
tain valuation, clutch every dollar of specie
they con find and hide it away. The banks,
on the other hand, neglect no expedient to re
servation, anil stand in our own defence—a right
guaranteed unto us by the genius of tho institutions
of our country, and upon which the government if
based. Our duty to ourselves, to our families, re
quire us not to tamely submit to be driven and slain
withont an attempt to preserve ourselves. Our du
ty to our country, our holy religion, our God, to free
dom and liberty, requires that we should not qnietly
stand still and see those tetters forging around us
which are calculated to enslave aud bring us in sub
jection to an unlawful military despotism, such as
can only emanate, iu a country of constitutional law,
from usurpation, tyranny and oppression.
Therefore, I Brigham Young, Governor and Su
perintendent of Indian affairs for the Territory of
Utah, in the name oftbe people of the United States,
in the Territory of Utah, forbid,
First—all armed forces of evc-ry description from
coming into this Territory, under any pretence what
ever.
Second—That all the forces in said Territory hold
themselves iu reudness to march at a moment'
notice to repel any and all such invasion.
Third.-Martial law is hereby declared to exist in
this territory fiom and after the publication of thU
proclamation, and no person shall be allowed to pass
or repasa into or through orfrom this Territory with
out a permit from the proper officer.
Given under my hand and seal, at great Salt Lake

ca the eighty-second. BRIGHAM YOUNG.
Col. Alexander, in his reply to the 1st
proclamation, says :
I am at present the senior and commanding offi
ccr of the troops of the United States at this point,
and I will submit your letter to the General com
mamling as soon as he arrives here.
In tho meantime, I have only to say that these
troops are here by the order of tho President of the
United States, and their further movements and op
erations will depend entirely upon orders izsned by
competent military authority.
These documents leave no space for doubt.
A collision has probably already occurred, and
it is only the superior equipment and disci
pline of the United States forces which can
relieve very serious apprehensions of the re
suit. The United States forces against Utah
when ail concentrated, it is said, will not
amount to more than a thousand effective men,
and the Mormons should be able to bring into
tbe field at least seven thousand. The dispar
ity is very great, but Col. Johnson is a man
hkciy to assume a bold and decisive policy.
dead leaves in an autumnal blast. The ad
vance last Tuesday was four and five per cent,
upon several descriptions, and the tendency is
upward by jumps and gyrations on all kinds.
It is tree the extraordinary depression of
stocke a few weeks ago, left ample space for
improvement; but the inflammatory condition
of the market is said to have its immediate
cause in the Banks, which, finding inadequate
employment for their capital in the small
amount of first class commercial paper offer
ing for discount, are lending freely upon stock
as collateral.
“ Stock,” on the other hand, if we may
judge from the Tribune’s report of the Horse
Market, is in a blue way. Dealers have bought
it and kept it there for an improved market,
until it has “eaten its head off,” aud are now
selling for any price. Sales are reported of
a pair of greys for $50; black horse for $29;
sorrel for $20. Chunkey hay horse, buggy
and harness for $26, and so on through a con
siderable catalogue.
Financial matters lu New York.
The New York papers state that at a pre
liminary consultation of some of the Bank of
ficers last week, the sentiment was that re
sumption must quietly and of necessity ensue
during December or January. The whole of
last week was signalized by an extraordinary
excitement in the New York Stock Market,
and enormous transactions. A comparison of
last Tuesday’s quotations, with those of about
a month previous, exhibits an average advance
of very little less than twenty-five per cent.—
We append some items by way of illustration:

Death among tlic Deer.
The Thomasville Wire Grass Reporter says,
that the deer in the counties of Irwin and
Worth are dying in great numbers. Many
have been found dead in the woods, and many
others caught by dogs after a short chase.—
A hunter discovered a large buck by hearing
him cough, a few days since, and killed him.
He was diseased. The blood was thin and
watery, and the joints seemed to ho bloodshot.
The deer arc dying in vast numbers in Thom
as, Colquitt and Baker, ns well as in Irwin and
Worth.
classes, it seems as if gold and silver had left
the land, aud that dirty paper, redeemable none
knows when, wero to be the only measure of
value. Theu come applications for legislative
tinkering and relief— then all manner of cor
ruptions, abuses and malversations come to
light. A pall of gloomy doubt is thrown over
everything—money and character alike. All
manner of plausible pretexts are set up to sap
the foundations of morality. One code of mor
als is established (“legalized”) for the money
makers—tbe banks—and another for the peo
ple. Then wc hear “confidence” preached up,
as though it were a thing to he made up on a
sudden occasion and not a “plant of slow
growth” from the soil of unbroken faith and
inviolable integrity. And finally, after months
or years of trouble, tlic community and hauks
surviving the shock, begin at a specie basis
again to repeat the same weary and disastrous
round. It is the inevitable tendency of the
system, Let it be abandoned.
It has always been maintained by some that
the constitution of tbe United States does in
so many words prohibit just such a paper cir
culation as we now have. Section 10th of Ax-
1, declares that “No State shall” “emit bills
of credit” or “make anything but gold and sil
ver coin a tender in payment of debts.” This
restriction bas hitherto been theoretically as
well as practically applied only to the govern
ments of the States or the States as bodies po
litic. But it is well to inquire whether a pow
er can be conferred which is not possessed; or.
whether one can lawfully do by an agent which
he may not do by himself. We have, however,
no space for the argument. Wc believe if the
point is ever tested before the Supreme Court,
it will declare banks of issue unconstitutional.
But whe tlier this he so or not, we hold it is
tlic course equally of prudence and sound poli
cy to bring the present banking system to an
end. so soon os it can be done justly and pro

Passage of the lliwnssee Kail If oad
BILL.
This bill passed the House last Tuesday by
the decisive vote of 79 to 52—24 absent or not
voting. We copy from the Republican
sketch of the debate upon the final passage of
the hill. It will be seen that the Committee
have reported in favor of State aid to the en
tire batch of rail road bills and that the debate
upon this single measure embraced them all
Wc take the vote to be indicative of the result

Tbe committee, to whom were referred the bill'
granting state aid to the Macon & Brunswick, Savan
“Tho Reason Why.”
This is the title of a new work of 356 pages,
by the author of “ Inquire Within,” recently
published by Dick and Fitzgerald, 18, Ann
Street, New York, aud for sale by the
Messrs. Richards. It is essentially a house
hold book, and a convenient one—affording at
a glance a ready solution of all those material
phenomena which arc perpetually demanding
“tho reason why,” from the enquiring minds
especially of children, and those whose pur
suits in life do not permit much scientific read
ing and investigation.
nali. Griffin 4c North Alabama, Georgia Air Line,
Ellijay Rail roads, reported favorably upon the same
and recommended their being made the special order
for Thursday next. If these bills pass, the State will
have to endorse their bonds to the amount of three
million, ten thousand dollars. There was also a
minority report—against tho bill. Three hundred,
copies of the Reports wero ordered to he printed—
auil the hill made the (pecial order for Monday next.
The Hiwossee Railroad bill was then taken up and
upon which a long debate ensued. Messrs. Kenau
of Baldwin and Smith of Towus, in favor, Messrs.
Glass, of Newton and Reid of Putnam, opposed.
Mr. Kenan lead the debate iu a speech of some
three quarters of an hour. He said that tho State
ltoad was nut built for the purpose of enriching the
Treasury but was built fortue purpose of developing
the resources of the Cherokee country. Contended
that this Road would be of immense benefit in tune
of war, in the transportation of men and means from
one section of the country to another—that the com
pletion of this road would maternally benefit tho
whole people of Georgia in the redaction of freights,
and thereby lessen the price of such articles as wo
aro compelled to have from Tennessee and adjoining
States, 4cc. Mr. K. is a fine speaker and ho contri
buted much toward the passage of a hill.
Mr. Glass, ol Newton, followed lu a very sensible
speech, showing tbe folly of granting tho charter
asked by that company, and the injnry that must re
sult to the State from'the passage of the bill. Ho
shewed conclusively (to my mindj that the very fact
of this company not taking aid of the State, was suf
ficient evidence, that auother State and not Georgia,
would derive all the benefit from the road—that a
company, perhaps Charleston, would build the road;
and that Charleston would be tho beneficiary. He
said he had no feeling enmity towards tho people of
that portion of the State where this road was proposed
to be located, and that he would cheerfully vote for
the bill, if they would shew him that it would not re
sult to the injury of the State of Georgia. He said
that gentlemen had accused tho opponents of tho
bill, of being influenced by their interests in other
railroads, but he wished them to understand that he
was not a stockholder in any road in tho State—
that ho was governed by no other principle than that
of legislating the greatest good lor the greatest num
ber ; that he had no inotivo in injuring that section
of the t-tato, and it would not benefit him, for he had
no “ daddy under the hay." This last remark was
applied to the ooponents on yesterday.
Mr. Smith of Towns, said he could not be silent in
the passage of a bill involving, in so great a degree,
the interest of his constituents, that his people did
not ask one dollar of aid from the State, hut only
wished the privilege of building the road with their
own means. He said that tho gentleman who had
proceeded him had harped upon tbe doctrine of the
greatest good to the greatest number, in answer to
whioh ho would say. that if that doctrine was carried
out, we should legislate for tbe emancipation of a
large portion of the slaves and the enslaving of the
whites. He cited, as an instance, the county of Burko
iu which the population is near 15,000, the whites
something over four thousand, lie did not believe in
the doctrine always, and used this merely for argu
ment sake.
He finally wound up with an appeal to the South
western portion of the State, and that portion bord
ering on Fla., bv the memory of the past, by the aid
which that portion of the State had rendered them
when threatened with the tomahawk of tho savages,
to now come to their aid and relievo them .from a
tyranny (sought to be imposed on them) worse than
that imposed upon the Serb of Russia.
Mr. Retd of Putnam followed the gentleman from
Towns in a very short but sensible speech. He con
tended that a* Middle Georgia had been taxed to
bnild the State Road, and had as yet derived but lit
tle benefit therefrom, and as it is now in fair way to
become remunerated that no obstaclo should be
thrown in the way to impede its progress. That tho
ltoad should be so protected and managed as to re
duce tho taxes of tho State. Ho believed tho pas
sage ot the bill would injure the State Road and
thereby the people of the Slate, and lie should east
his vote against it.
Mr. Kenan closed tho debate, his remarks differing
hat little from his fir.-: speech. Tho bill was put on

HIBERNIA,
MILLEDGEVILLE, ?
Nov. 21, 1857. S
You will perceivo that the committee
Banks, to whom bas been referred tbe Bill
giving reciprocal relief and protection to the
Banks, Treasury and citizens, which have sus
pended specie payments, Lave asked until
Tuesday next to make their report, but I have
no idea that the committee will be able to adopt
any measure of relief that will be satisfactory
to all the committee or the people. The fact
is, if I have been correctly informed, these
Banks, or their Agents, have for years been
in the habit of shaving paper at two and a half
per cent a month, thereby grinding down their
innocent victims of persecution, until their very
souls ache under the oppression. And now,
in the face of all this financiering system
swindling, they have the effrontery to come
before the Legislature and ask for “reciprocal
relief.” What is this “reciprocal relief,” if
applies alone to Banks ? I am at a loss
define the term, unless it means oppression.
But they ask relief, and in my judgment they
will not get it in the terms of the present Bill
from this or any future Legislature. If I be
come hopelessly insolvent, there is no law
punish me, but think you the Legislature will
come to my aid and grant me the relief that
my necessities require ? Not so, but would
have me to pass the remnant of my days
wretchedness and ruin. Neither should she
relieve the broken down institutions, which
have proved the curse and ruin of the country.
But let us see how this question stands. The
laws of Georgia provide, that in the event of
suspension of specie payments by any of tbe
Banks in this State, their charters shall be de
clared forfeited. This necessity has been
brought to bear upon certain Banks in Geor
gia, and they have violated the law, and in this,
they have forfeited their charters. Now the
question arises, can the Legislature grant the
“reciprocal relief’ they ask ? We hold, they
can, bat it is a dangerous precedent, and built
upon the same principle, that if it kills A. the
law provides that B shall be hung, yet the
Legislature may interpose and pardon B for
the crime committed. But enough of Banks
and Bank speculations, and Bank suspension^
The people and the Legislature have become
disgusted with them, and they shonld be dealt
with as the law directs. HIBERNIA.

Maiu Trunk and Brunswick Bail
ROAD.
Wo have a renewal of diplomacy between
the Main Trunk and Brunswick Rail Road
functionaries at Milledgevillc on the 16th and
17th. Eleven more billet shots passed between
the high contracting parties, without apparent
result. The ball is opened by H. G. Wheeler,
President of the Brunswick Company, who in
forms Mr. Screven that he (Mr. Wheeler) is
there ready to receive communications. Mr,
Screven asks if Sir. Wheeler is clothed with
full powers to make and execute a release.—
Mr. Wheeler says he is not. Mr. Screven
then says he has no communication to make.
Messrs. A. S. Atkinson, J. T. Hays and T,
R. Bloom, then come forward and detail cer
tain propositions in behalf of the Brunswick
Company. Mr. Screven wants to know if they
are submitted by the President. The Com
mittee declare they are unconditionally ac
cepted by him. Mr. Screven wants to hear
from the President himself. Mr. Wheeler re
plies that he has put his official signature to
them. Mr. Screven rejoins, accepting some
and rejecting others. Mr. Wheeler thereup
on closes the correspondence by avowing that
he has put himself in the bands of tbe Commit
tee—committed himself to the terras they pro
posed and cannot go behind those terms. The
parties to this Main Trunk and Brunswick
negotiation ought to take foreign appointments
nt once, after they have concluded this busi
ness. Their experience in diplomatic niceties
should not be lost to the country.
In the representative branch of tlic Tennessee
Legislature, on Tuesday last, Mr. Maney introduced
a resolution instructing the Senators and request
ing Representatives in Congress from Tennessee
to induce the passage of a law in Congress taxing
bank bills of a less denomination than twenty-five
dollars.—Charleston Mercury.
tVe have contended, and some of the most dis
tinguished Democrats in tho country have long
maintained, that the chartering of banks by the
States, with the power to issue notes or bilb of
credit, is a clear and direct violation of a specific
provision of the federal constitution. If Congress
should comply witli Mr. Haney’s wishes, and tlic
wishes of the very considerable number who think
and who are dbposed to act with him, they would

Trial Trip of the Adriatic.
The new Collins steamer Adriatic made her
trial trip on the 15th and satisfied all on board
that she is the fastest steamship afloat. Her
greatest speed was eighteen nautical and twen
ty-one statute miles in an hour and four minu
tes, using only about two-thirds of her availa
ble steam, and about half laden.
The Adriatic is tho largest steamship ever
built in this country, and, without exception,
the largest wooden vessel in the world. Her
length is 354 feet; breadth of beam 50 feet;
depth of hold, 33 feet 2 inches, and Custom

her lines is unparalleled, and may well be con
sidered the crowning monument of tho gen

on. The St. Louis is in with 61,200,000 from Cali
fornia ; the Ariel will be here in a day or two with
$400,000. Here is an aggregate of 61,600,000 that
will go into the Banks this week. The deposits
show a large addition to the discounting basis, and
yet the Banks show a contraction in loans. It is
now estimated that the Banks can pay on demand
fifty per cent of their liabilities in cash. This shows
a strength unprecedented in the history of banking
in tliis city. In the face of such facts, any further
postponement of a resumption is the height of folly.
It is our impression that before the close of the pre

resumed specie payments.’’
IMPORTANT FROM KANSAS.
THE CONSTITUTION TO BE SUBMITTED TO
THE PEOPLE.
St. Louis, Nov. 16, 1857.
Kansas advices state that the constitution
adopted by the Constitutional Convention was
by a vote of 28 in favor of it to about a dozen
against it. The whole number of delegates to
the Convention was sixty,* consequently the
constitution was adopted by a minority of the
Convention. The majority and minority re
ports of the Committee on a Schedule, were
merged into one schedule. It provides for an
election on the 21st of December, to ratify or
reject the constitution, the voting to be by bal
lot, and the votes cast to be endorsed “Consti
tution with Slavery” and “Constitution with
ont Slavery also for an election to be held
on the first Monday in January next, for tbe
election of State and Congressional tickets.
The Lawrgnee correspondent of the “Dem
ocrat" asserts that Gov. Walker brought from
Washington a manuscript copy of the Kansas
constitution, almost identical with the one
adopted. The correspondent also says that
no free State man will vote on tho 21st of De
cember.
Gen. Walker’s Destination.
It is not exactly known what Gen. Walker’s
destination is. A letter from New York to
the Washington States says :
Some think it not improbable that he may
have gone to Yucatan, to take part with the
revolutionists there against the government,
with the ultimate purpose of proceeding to
Nicaragua from that point. A glance at the
map will show the peninsular of Yucatan pres
ents a most inviting field for filibuster enter
prise. Its best port is less than two days dis
tance from New Orleans, and would be of im
mense advantage to Walker as a depot for
concentrating supplies of men and munitions
of war, without danger of molestation from
any foreign government, and quite beyond
legal reach of that of the United States. Re
cruits from California via Tehuantepec, could
reach him there quite as leadiiy as from New
Orleans. The Isle of Pines, celebrated in con
nection with the Lopez expedition, is also near,
and might be made of service again.
If Walker has gone to Nicaragua, the
steamer Fashion will outstrip the United
States steamer Fulton without difficulty, so
that there is little danger of his beirg over
taken.
The United States sloop of war Saratoga,
well known to bo lying off the mouth of San
Juan, will prove equally inefficient in efforts
to intercept Walker and his men, for they can
land at the mouth of the Colorado, (which is
in fact a branch of the San Juan,) thirty miles
distant from Greytown, and so pass up to and
enter the latter river, long before the Saratoga
can overtake them.

We lay before our readers this morning the lei;
nle of the new constitution pepared by the cosh
tion at Lecompton. The seheJde is that put oft,
constitution which provides for the transuioa fra
the system which now Is to that which is to be, in
prescribes in what manner it shall become hiaia*
as the fundamental law of the land. In thedS
patches received a day or two since, this tempon.-;
machinery, with which all new constitutions itiaih
preceedeu, is called a provisional gnenntu,.
some nervous persons perhaps were alarmed it
revolutionary sounds of the words. It is the i
scaffolding to bo used by the people while they
putting up the permanent fabric of their rights, all
then it will be used no more. In tbe mean tin:.
the territorial laws remain in ful 1 force until the e»
stitution takes their place, except in so far is
schedule is used for carrying on the election.
This schedule submits theconstitctiontotheais
inhabitants of Kansas; acknowledges tbe pw:.-.
tho new State to be the only tribunal that eta in
fully determine what its domestic institstmiai
be; and gives full, practical and fair efect u ij
great principle of popular sove reignty. On the:.,:
day of December next the electors majmeetstluj

provision which makes Kansas a Slavs State siliv

ballots be cast the other way, that provision ibis
stricken out, and then every negro in the Seme,»
hereafter to go there, shall be free, except the b
who are now there in the Icgsd condition of ur
