Walker in Kan- sas,in the rejection of the bogus election re- turns from Johnson and M’Gee counties, have created a dreadful uproar among the Southern fire-eaters. The editorials of the Richmond South, of Wednesday last, are devoted exclusively | to Kansas and Walker, and their tone and tem- | per may be readily conjectured from the follow- | ing choice extracts:—* He (Walker) thinks he holds the administration by the throat. If they sustain bim the consequences will be disastrous to | the South; if they do not, he passes to the camp of the free soilers, and heads the relentless ene- mies of the democratic party.” Then, again, “ Walker has, like any other incendiary, fired the match and fled the explosion. The indigna- tion of a whole people pursues him.” “ He has done more tor abolitionism than Hale or Robin- sop.” “ He will next shed his Southern slough and appear In the reeplendent robes of an abo- lition leader."’ And so on tothe end of the chapter. The Charleston Mercury of last Tuesday “the legal grounds” upon which Walker and Stanton, “with their ursurped authority, re- jected the polls of Oxford precinct,” and undertakes to show from their reasons for thiy rejection “the frauduleney of the whole pro- cording.” In another article, however, respect- ing certain information of the designs of the Kansas provlavery party, the Mercury rej this information shows © that the pro- ring under the tead of ce ry porty. i probability of the Mormons carrying thei: united power of the administration agent= aud the extreme point of —. sng : he black republicans, bas risen higher, and of the eats mak pip : po ait will meet with a becoming spirit the disad. inten will, it is stated, direct Gen.

Between his technical usurpation of authority and his conscientious vindication of popular rights and the great fundamental law of populur sovereignty, his case will be submitted ‘o the judgment of the Senate. Nor can we entertain any doubt of the propriety of this procecding or of the result in that body. What would these Southern ultras have? Have ihey entertained any hope or any com- mon purpose of smuggling Kansas into the Union as a slave State? We cannot believe it. The thing cannot be done. There can be no peace with the South and no faith with the South, except threugh their honest acquies- cence in the Kansas law of popular sovereignty. Accepting that law of arbitration, they must and will abide by it. Kansas will thus inevita- bly become a free State. No help for it; and ull honest men, of all sections and all parties, will yield their approval to this result, as they would if it had gone in favor of slavery by the will of the bona fide people of Kansas. Nothing that Walker has done has changed the manifest destiny of Kansas; he could do nothing to change it. A large majority of the pcople of Kansas are opposed to slavery, they have the power, and Kansas will be a free State. All these Southern ultra quibbles and techni- calities about Walker, therefore, are the mere pretexts for a disorganizing sectional move- meat, They have taken hold of Kansas as the dead body of another Morgan, and let them make the most of it. They will soon discover ihat the public mind, North and South, is ab- sorbed in other and more practical issues, ‘The True Course for the Southern Fire-caters. The result of the recent elections in Kansas must eventually convince the most unthinking of the Southern ultras and fire-eaters that they made amistake in endeavoring to extend their peculiar social organization in that direction; and that if they wish to keep up the equilibrium in the | Senate they must do it by a course of action in | consonance with the natural causes that lie at | | the very foundations of the increase and migra- tion of our population. Notwithstanding their senseless abuse of the isothermal line and the policy of Governor Walker, that line still stands—a permanent barrier to the northward migration of the black race; and the principles that have impelled Governor Walker in his recent course in Kansas are the very principles upon which all their hopes of Southern extension and the admission of more slave States into the Union are based. Any one who will examine the natural flow of our black population, both free and slave, will find that iis emigration is southward. It is a tropical race, and its very nature, as well as the pecuniary interest of those who are personally concerned in the employment of its labor, all impel it toward the tropics. In fighting against this natural lew the Southern ultras are losing what they might gain by acting in correspondence with it, and gaining nothing from their struggle. So, too, in the principles that have roled in Kansas. If the five-eaters had succeeded in establishing theiy right to pour an extrancous population into that Territory, and thus overruling the wishes of the true settlers there, what could have prevented Northern agitators from over- running every new Territory temporarily, and thus introducing principles of government dis- cordunt wilh the laws of climate, soil and social order existing in them. | aside their hobby horses and look things in the | face as hey exist.

There is no great idea that stirs the heart of the whole country, and we mast have one. that one should exist, after the revulsion we have gone through, but some great issue must follow.

This misera- ble wretch is Mayor Wood, and his crime is proposing to buy 50,000 barrels of flour to pay for bread for the starving poor this winter. We have not yet heard what penalty it is proposed to inflict upon this scandalous monster for this nefarious crime; but it is evident that hanging, drawing and quartering would fall short of his deserts, Save Lavok anv Free.—Here we have tens of thousands of workmen thrown out of employ- ment in the North, seeking food and finding none, and assuaging their wrath in empty threats of violence and rapinc; and bencath this outward ebullition we know that there must be vast numbers of families actually in want of bread. Tn the South, on the contrary, there is no lack of the neceasaries of life, no starvation, no per- ceptible want; the laborers under the slave sys- tem are as well off this winter as they were last. In contrasts between the relative merits of the two systems this feature should not be for- gotten. A Lost Poxmican AGENt.—Mr. Cass should advertise in the papers in the “ Lost” column for Wm. Carey Jones, the political agent who was sent to Central America. The first we heard of this gentleman was that he had lost his bag- gage; now it seems he has lost himself.

THE UTAH MILITARY BXPEDITION—APPOINTMENTS— AFFAIRS AT PANAMA—PROCEEDINGS IN THE YA> VAL COURTS, ETC. Wasuunatoy, Nov. 6, 1857. The Secretary of War received to-day a despatch dated at Fort Leavenworth. Intelligence had been received to the effect that the Mormons were calling into Salt Lake City ali their forces from the surrounding country, and were organizing to resist the United States troops.

Speaking of Panama affairs, be says:— Everything on the Isthmus, at present remains quiet. A few days since, however, considerable excitement ex- isted, but entirely of a local as well as of an amusing character, arising from a bill of divorcement having been introduced into the Legislature while in session here. Its features were of an abominable character, destroying the marriage tie at the mere instance of one or the other imdi- | viduals going before a magistrate. It passed into a law, | and they then adjourned sine die. The Governor, how: ever, had the good sense to reconyenc the Legislatare, directing a reconsideration and bringing before them his veto. This veto was accompanied by an armed body of young men, who, when Legislature tried to enforce it a second ‘time, began with loud shouts, nately by threatening one or two of the ceeded i having the motion lost.

Nim.o’sGaxbey.—An anouncement is made that the cele brated Gabriel Ravel rejoins his brothers Antoine and Jerome at this popular establishment, and that these threo great favorites will all appear together on Monday evening. Tt is now a quarter of a century since “the wonderful Ra vels,”’ as they were then and have been ever since called, made their first appearance on the very ground | where they are now delighting ax many thou: ‘as they did twenty-five years ago. When the site of the Metropol tan Hotel wae a blooming garden; when Indian corn grew loxuriantly where the New York now stands; when no omnibus ran above Fourtcenth street; when Broadway ended where Union square is now, and when Union square was an open field, even then the “wonderful Ravels’’ weee “household words” in the mouths of New Yorkers. A generation has actually passed away and another has taken its place, yet there, at Niblo’s Garden, on the very same spot, and to all appear- ance themselves unchanged, we find “the Ravels”” as active, lithe, droll, amusing and astonishing as ever. The child who laughed and clapped its Uny hands at them then is now in the prime of life—a man or woman—with the joys and sorrows of the world thick around them They now take their children to sce “the Ravels"’ where they, ax children, went aud were delighted. How is this? while all around us is so changed that it appears as if Ala din’s lamp had been employed to raise palatial dwel lings and marble temples by Lp these brothers show bo sign of change? Have they disowered the elixir vite? or the waters of rejuvenation? We begin to think so, and that they occasionally join in a “sip” or a ‘dip’ with the worthy proprietor of The Garden" himself; for Wil- liam Niblo, who ie one of the “oldest inhabitants” of rent city, is as rosy and smiling and gay aa he was w he started the first omnibus ever seem in Broadway, which ran from the old City Hotel to the Garden. With per. uth, unflagying industry apd abundance of spirit has catered well for the New Yorkers; aud ‘the are wonderful as ever, and ahearty demonstra Raveis ton may be looked for at the re-union of the three great originale on Monday evening.

PROCREDINGS OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. {Correspondence of the Missouri Democrat, Lxcomrroy, Oct. 29, 1857. ‘The Convention is hard at work. They have not done much yet that could demonstrate their zen character. To-day they have been working at the geueral election law. Besides a year’s residence, they require payment of a Territorial or State tax in avotor. Soldiers of the army are allowed to vote. Judge Elmore’s report on tho Judiciary occupied all the forenoon. It was a vory good one. An effort was made to prevent the people trom electing Judges until after 1860, but so tar it fake . ARTRRNOON SESSION. Major Vanpxstice moved to recommit the report of tha Committee of Incorporat tion. ‘One gentleman objected to all recommitting. JeNKINe retorts, “1 was up first.’ Rawpoiruis “ opposed to all sich operations as that.” ‘The gentleman begs that it be recommitted. One man with a blue coat, thinks if it be referred, thas « they may as well refer every d—d thing.’” Those that — Lecne in at the elevouth hour, want to rule the con- vention.

Mr. Raxpourn wants it to be understood that when ths Convention acts like a man, he (Randolph) acts like a man ; but when the Convention acts like a baby, ho wilt act as a baby. He always wants to be uniform. ‘Randolph thinks that if any one has been absent, ao report should be recommitted simply because the absentee had just ar- rived. Such persons have taken an oath to fultil their du- ties to the best of their knowledge and ability, and they have williully and maliciously absented themselves.

On the second motion, Randolph thinks that if @ man is allowed to dodge servico in the militia on account of religious scruples, we would all have re- ligions seruples. He (Randolph) would embrace any kind of religion himself, so as to escape militia duty. (Small bit of wrangle between Jenkins, Randolph and others.) Hauuilton is opposed to mixing up religion in this business. Ranporrn is opposed to the whole bill, but especially ts he opposed to exempting people from military duty on the ground of religion, and then making them pay for tt. They might as well shoot people themselves as to have others to do it for them. A resolution is offered that the Convention adjourn sine die, Resolution laid on the table. Jenkins is opposed to any thing religious, except tho prayor im the morning. The report of the Committee on Boundaries now camo up. The boundaries are precisely tho same as those do- fined by the organic act. ae Joxus proposed that it be called the State of Wash- ington.
