WAS GTON CITY: Soe. saeliiier 0, ee SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer protests earnestly against the action of the Kansas Convention, in the matter of the reference of its work toa popular yote, arguing that it has set at defiance the popular will, or rather failed to give the people of the Territory an opportunity to reject all their action if they elect sotodo. We have no reason to expect any other opinion from the Intelligencer on this subject, for its sympathies have been consistently against the Kansas- Nebraska act. It does not even yet compre- hend that the Convention alone had the right to determine what to submit and what not to submit. Or, in other words, that the Conven- tion, representing the people of the Territory as clearly and fairly as such a body ever repre- sented a constituency, is, in fact, the people of the Territory. We reject all the pertinacious abolition slanders misrepresenting the manner in which the Convention were elected, and accord to them their really unquestionable right to determine what was their line of duty in the premises, without interference from be- yond the limits of the Territory, such as is em- braced in the comments this morning of our esteemed friends of the Intelligencer. The Union, on the other hand, frankly and democratically bows to the will of Kansas as expressed through its legitimate channel—her convention. The editor takes occasion to say, with correctness and force, indeed : “We ae gratified, because it will allay sec- tional strife and excitem: because we see in he, Vindication of the great piinciple of the Kansas bill, which submitted the question of slavery to the decision of a Majority of the bona fide inhabitants of the Territory. In submitting to the people the ques- tion, whether Kansas shall be a free or a stave State. the convention bas respouded to the policy so urgently pressed by Governor Walker, an exhibits the gratifying fect that upon this great ) geoyy there is a cordial concurience between im and the people of Kansas, as represented in that convention. Ayain we tender tothe Admin- istration—to Governor Walker—the people of Kansas and of the whole country—our heartfelt congratulations Ge this signal triumph of prin- ciple over prejudice. We rejoice not because Kansas is to be a slave or afree State, but because the people of Kansas are to decide for themselves, throngh their own fairly-expressed will, what sball be the future character of their State. The destiny of Kanxas is to be decided by the ballot- box, uot the cartridge-box ; by her own citizens, not by foreign influences; and when that deci- sion shall be thus pronounced, it will command the cordial acquiescence and approval of good men everywhere, whether it be to make Kansas a slave or a free state."? : oe i> We have news from Siera Leone, Africa, to the 2st of September.

Tar Exp or tHe Imsrociio.—On our first page to-day, the reader will find an admirable synopsis of the State Constitution lately framed for Kansas. In the main, its features chal- lenge, at least our approval, if not that of all others. It is Democratic to the core, and isin strict keeping with the spiritof sound progress, which should distinguish the eurrentera. But we do not regard ourself as haying anything whatever to do with the details of its pro- visions. Nor has any one else out of the boun- dariesof the Territory. The Kansas-Nebraska act, framed in the true spirit of the Constitu- tion of the United States, in that particular, confers on the people who are hereafter to live under the proposed constitution of the new State alone the right to have “‘asay”’ with refer- ence to its adoption. We are for carrying out to the letter, and in its true spirit, the principle of that law; and therefore have no comments to make on it.- Those who were authorized to Propose it have done so, and it now only rests with these authorized to accept or reject it, to act in, the premises. Whatever may be their election, it is our duty, as itis that of all others outside the Territory, to await and cheerfully to bow to their verdict, when legally rendered. From tae Pratns.—According to the last re- ceived St. Louis Republican, Mr. Lander, of Magraw’s party, had reached the settlements, and reports that— ‘The Mormons having burned all the grass on the southern wintering grounds, the wagon-road ery Scns has selected a camp on Wind river. It is surrounded by herds of bntfalo and elk,with which, in the event of failure of other means of subsistence, the train may be supplied. “B PF. Ficklin, one of ths assistant engineers of the advance party, who had distinguished himself in detached service, has been detailed by Mr. Larder, at the request of Superintendent Ma- raw, to purchase flour and other provisions for the train. In performing this duty, he was sur- sounded near Green river by sixty weil mounted Mormons. He gave them evasive an- sWers as to the uature of his business, and was at length allowed to depart. He rode once to the command of Col. Alexander, many miles distant, and informed that g ntleman of the advane- of the mounted armed men, and of the rumors that five hundred hade ssed Green river, going in the direction of un utected Government trains: but before any escort was sent. three trains, em- bracing seventy-six wagons, were reached and completely destroyed by the paity of sixty mea first seen” From the destruction of these tr of provisions the castern mountaineers were posed to hold articles of subsistence at a bigh price. Flour was $50 a hundred at Platte bride, 125 miles beyond Fort Laramie, and rising; and a general belief prevailed in the country that ho: tilities had commen The military fo were in high spirits, and though traveling with every prospect of enduring great hardships, en- thustastic toa man, and prepared for the worst. “The explorations of the advance party of the Ww gon Road Expedition had proved of great ser- vice to the command. The entire region between the Sait Lake and Snuke river, the South Pass, and Thousand Spring Valley, connecting the wok of Stanbury and Fremont, and hitherto unexplored been surveyed and mapped: six- teen mountain passes examined, ail the tribnta- ties of the upper Green river defined to their sources, th eat Wahsatch chain found to con- sist of four distinct ranges. Numerous supplies of gn Wood, and water had been discovered, and various wagon row wo of which avoid the Grand Desert of the Sandy, and one seven days shorter travel in adistance of five hundred miles, than any previously known. These may be mentioned ax some of the results of the explo- rations. The military foree had, therefore.aban- doned the old line of approach. and were edvan- cing upon the valley of the Lake by the open plains of the Western descent of the Bear and Malade river “We forgot to state that Gov ngs and lady. with the Secretary of the Territory, were met about two days’ march east of Fort Laramie with Col. Cooke, and the Utah mail train. “When Mr. L. informed Gov. Cummings of the commencement of the Mormon disturbances by the destruction of Government trains, being the first to bring this intelligence, Gov. C. qui- etly remarked, ‘Tell all my friends, sir, that I started to obey instructions and to yo into Salt Lake City. and Jam going.” * Brigham Young bad already disclaimed any ticipation or knowledge of the cvert act of uring the supply trains. * * * *# “Old mountaineers are predicting the most disastrous consequences if the troops are not able to fight their way into the city. The graces burned, the forage well nigh eaten up, winter setting in with several deep snows, much of the command far in the rear, and a great range of mountains shutting it out from the northern win- tering grounds, all seem to vive weight to the supposition that the exprdition will not be asuc- cessful one. Cache Vailey, which is an open, well-grassed plain, in which are several Mormon farms, and over which roam great herds of cattle and horses, the property of the Church, will soon, however, be within striking distance of the command As Ixportast Goverswext Onppe —It will be reeollected that the Shawnce lands in Kansas were reserved from occupation under pre-emption claims. by treaty, until after cer- tain portions of them could be surveyed and set apart as reservations, or & reservation for the benefit of the tribe. These survey? and selections having been made, it is understood that the Seeretary of the Interior hes issued directions to open the Lalance of the lands in question to settlement The now famous county of “Johnson’’ is lo- cated on theze Shawnee lands, and. we appre- hend, the names of those recorded improbably as voters at the Oxford precinct, are no others than those of Missourians who have initiated pre-emption claims on these lands that can and will now be promptly perfected—certainly be- fore the 21st proximo, when, after the decision of the Convention to frame a State Constitution for Kansas, they will be entitled to vote upon the acceptance or rejection of that instrument. Sevr-Vixpicatep.—The reading public will remember how vehemently the decision of the President and Postmaster General in the mat- ter of the adoption of a route for the overland mail to California was assailed by the Ropub- lican party press, on the ground that it was de- signed to injure the North for the benefit of the South. We combatted that infamous asper- sion at the time, asking that the verdict of pop- ular opinion should be detayed until the prac tical result of the action of those functionaries in the premises, on which to base a common sense decision, might beat hand. That result is already before us. We give ita place in our columns without note or comment, for it re- quires neither at our hands : We learn from the San Diego (Cai.) Herald that the overland mai! line between that place and San Antonio, Texas, is ran now with re- markable regularity and speed. Five mails have already gone through to San Diego in the foliow- ing time: First, or pioneer mai Second mail Third ma Fowth mai Fifth mai 5 The desert was crossed on the last trip intwen- ty-nine honors. The fifth mail got through tn the shortest time ever made on that route. It will be seen that the speed is gradually increasing with each mail, and :t will probsbly not be lony be- fore the Journey will be regularly made in twenty days. The distance to be traveled is so muc greater than that of the San Antouioand San Die- vo line that it is doubtful if it ean be done in the time contracted for. The Sen Antonio line ma now be considered as successfully established. All it needs apparently is protection from the savage Indians infesting the whole route, and the construction of a few bridges. Conporatios Deeps —A very mistaken opinion seems to be generally entertained in “n relation to the v'idity of the deeds granted by the Corporation ‘or real estate which has been sold by the Collector for taxes due there- on. It has vot been ruled by the Cireuit Court, as many suppose, that under the present char- ter of the city, itis the di ‘y of the Tax Col- lector, before he -oceeds to sell the real estate, to levy upon the personal property on tho premises, if any exist. One of the amendments to the City Charter—section 7—adopted by Congress May 8, 1849, is conclusive on the sub- ject. It reads: “« That real property, whetuer improved or un- improved, ou which oxe or more years’ taxes shall have become due, and remain unpaid, 0° ou which any <pecial tax, im; by virtue of authority of the provisions of this act, shall bave become due, and remain unpaid, or so much thereof, not less than a lot when the property on which the tax has accrued is not less than that quantity,) as may be necessary to pay any such taxes, with interest, costs, and charges arising thereon, may be sold at public sale to satisfy the Corporation therefor. And so much of the third proviso of tbe tenth section of the said act incor- Eg iting the inhabitants of the city of Washing- » approved May 15, 1520, as is in the following words, viz: ‘ Phat no sale shall be made in pur- suance of this section of any improved property whereou there is personal property of sufficient value to pay the said taxes,” be, and the same is hereby repealed. JviiaNa May's Secoxp Concert.—To-night, it is already evident, Carusi’s Saloon is des- tined again to overflow with the beauty, musi- cal taste and fashion of the Federal Metropolis. congregated to listen to the dulcet strains of the American cautatrice, Juliana May, and the able musical corps by whom she is to be assisted. Having so lately expresséd our opinion of her artistic merit, we need not repeat it here. Our advice to all who would enjoy this evening a musical treat as rich as was ever within one’s reach on this side of the Atlantic, is to secure seats early. The piano to be used to-night, by the hy, was sent hither from the capital manufactory of Knabe & Co., of Baltimore, especially for this occasion. It isa ‘grand’’ of remarkable power, tone and finish—a beautiful specimen indeed of the excellence to which the art of constructing piano fortes has already arrived in this country. Tug Navat Covrts or lxquiry.—Before Court No. 1, nothing was done toa late hour this morning, as its President, Commodore Lavallette, was detained from the court-room as a witness before Court No. 3. When we went to press, it was momentarily expected that Mr. Wise (counsel) would commence read- ing the defence of Lt Barney. Before Court No. 2, to-day, in the case of Lt. Dominick Lynch, Capt.

Subjoined is the letter and proclamation of Brigham Young : Governor's Orrice, Utab Territory, Great Sait Lake City, September 29, 1557 To the Officer Commanding the Forces now In- vading Utah Territory : Sin: By reference tothe act of Congress passed September 9, 1550, organizing the Territory of Utah, you will find the following : “Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That the executive powerand authority in and over said ‘Territory of Utah shall be vested in a governor, who shall hold his office for four years, and watil his successor shall be appointed and qualitied, unless sooner removed by the President of the United States. The governor shall reside within said Territory, shall be commander-in-chief of the militia thereof, &e."” Tam still the Governor and Superintendent of Indian Affairs for the ‘ ory, NO successor having been appointed and qualified, as provided by law, nor have I been removed by the Presi- dent of the United States. By virtue of the au- thority thus vested in me, I have issued and for- warded to you a copy of my proclamation for- bidding the entrance of armed forces into the ‘Territory. Tois you have disregarded. 1 now farther direct that you retire forthwith from the ‘Territory, by the same route youentered. Should you deem this impracticable, and prefer to re- toain until spring in the vicinity of your present encainpment—Black Ford, on Green river—you cen do so in peace and unmolested, on condition that you deposite your arms and ammunition with Lewis Robinsoo, quartermaster general of the Territory, and leave in the ike a8 ¥oon as the condition of the roads will permit you to march ; and should you fall short of provisions they can be furnished you upon making the proper application therefor 1.

For the ast twenty-five years we have trusted oiticials of the Goverument, from constables and justices, to judges, Governors and Presidents, ouly to be scorned, Leld ia derision, insulted and betrayed. Our houses have been plundered and (hen burned, our tields laid waste, our principal men buteb- ered, while under the pledyed faith of the gov- ernment for their safety, and our families driven from their homes to find that shelter in the barren wilderness and that protection among hostile say- ages which were denied them in the boasted abodes of christianity aad civilization. The constitution of our common country guar- antees unto us all that we do,now or have ever claimed. If the constitutional rights which per- tain unto us as American citizens were extended to Utah according to the spirit and meaning thereof, and fairly and impartially administered, it is all that we could ask—all that we have ever asked Our opponents have availed themselves of pre judice existing against us, becanse of onr reli- gious faith, to send out a formidable host to ac- complish our destruction. We have bad no priv- ilege nor opportunity of defending ourselves from the false, foul and injust aspersions against us, before the nation. The Government has not con- descended to cause an investigating committee or other person to be sent to inquire Into and ascer- tain the truth, as is customary in such cases. We know those aspersions to be false, but that avails us nothing. We are conden ead, and forced to an issue with an armed mercenary mob, which has been sent against us at the instigation of anonymous letter writers, asbamed to Tather the base, slanderous falsenoods which they have | bbe to the public—of corrupt officials, who have rought false accusations against us to screen themselves in their own infainy, and of hireling priests and bowling editors, who prostitute the truth for filthy lucre’s sake. The issue which has thus been forced upon us compels us to resort ta the yreat first law of self- preservation, and stand in our own defence. tight guarantied unto us by the genius of the in- stitutions of our country, and upon which the governed is based. Our duty to ourselves, toonr amilies, requires us not to tamely submit to be driven and slain withont an attempt to preserve ourselves. Our duty to ourselves, our holy reli- gion, our God, to freedom and liberty, requires that we shonid not quietly stand still, and see those fetters forging around us, which are caleu- lated to enslave and bring us in subjection to an unlawfal military despotism, such as can oaly emanate, in a country of constitutional law, from usurpation, ig and oppression. ‘Therefore 1, Brigham Young, Governor and Bopanna of ladian Affairs for the Territor of Utah, in the naime of the people of the Unit States, ja the Territory of Utah, forbid, First.

The rate of discount at Hamburg was advanced to nine per cent. On Thursday, the Sth, the Bank of England, as apprehended, raised the rate of discount from 5 to the unprece@ented rate of 9 percent. This movement failed to abate the demand for money, which continued without diminution throughout Thursday. ‘The Times thinks the continued pressure must be mainly caused by alarm, and the consequent desire of every person to be over-supplied. Suggestions were current that ¢ jovernment should be called on for palliatives, but the Times argues that there is no shadow of pretext for such astep. The Times sa “All classes of the public must be aware it if the nation should so pitiably lose its self-possession as to give way to panic, there is but one remedy, and that the Government will be compelled to adopt.” ‘There can be no need, however, by formal pro- ceedings, to proclaim the belief that the financial sense of the nation is still so low as to cause the degrading contingency to be regarded not only as possibly, but probable.

The Daily News believes the Glasgow deputa- tion arrised in London on Friday evening. They will, it is understood, urge upon the Government the advisability of suspending some of the pro* visions of the Bavk Charter Act, as was done in 1347. The applications for money at the Bank on Fri- day were numerous, but no new ditticulties trans- pired. Consols advanced early in the day, bat subsequently a reaction took place. The Times urges a ape on of the export of specie to India, and thinks India rich enough to be left to her own resources. Movements with a similar object may be short- ly looked for in other districts. The freedom of the City of London and a splen- did_ sword were formally presented tothe Duke of Cambr.dge on the 4th. The Lord Mayor gave agrand banquet in honor of the event, which was attended by several cabinet ministers and foreign ambassadors, including Mr. Dallas. The Duke of Cambridge inaspeech said he hada letter from Sir Colin Campbell, emphatically de- nying that there was any difference between him and the Governor General of India. The Duke extolled the conduct of the British army in India, and advocated its maintenance in an efficient war- like establishment.

Now, crimes are of various descriptions. A mutiny and murder are heavy crimes hey are dark and gloomy crimes; but they were committed in almost every country and under almost every government. Penalties are specifically provided for these crimes in the respective criminal codes of vari- ous countries. Let such crimes be punished, wherever they occur, according to law; that is the first and clearest principle of action. ** But there are other crimes—crimes at least of another character, which become so monstrous as to assume the attitude of enmity to the human face; not merely crimes committed with refer- ence tothe power of India; not merely crimes inimical to land; not mer@ly crimes inimical to Europe and civilization; but crimes that con- stitute their perpetrators what pirates are, and what cannibals in the Fejee islands are—enemies of the humana race—and meriting, not from one nation, not from one people, but from the whole of the boman race, summary and exemplary ex- tirpation ‘This, ay it appeared to me, is not the lan- guage of any particular individual, of any par- tieular country, bot the language of Luman na- tue; and althouzh Tam unable to say how far such language inay be concurred in by the great body of my Tellow-citizens on the opposite side of the Atlantic, yet 1 think | know them well enongh to say that no language can be too strong, uo words too iinpressive, no force too sudden, no blows severe, for crimes such as those which have been perpetrated in India."’ Lord Brougham officiated at the inanguration of the Queen's College, Liverpool. In the course of bis remarks he strongly denounced the encour- agement of African free Says Spe by France, stating that it was reviving the slave trade, and damaging the cause of civilization and commerce in Africa.
