T., corr’spondence (Nov. 20) of Missouri Democrat. hecwey handdi’ 1s were in cirentation anrerncmng the ‘exrival of ‘Lae, and that be would adéress the citi- wens of Lawreay, in the evening, on jowing sub- Ject— What sb1] we do in the present exigeacy ? Farty im tha evening » large concoures of diiesun a0- gembled m Yc Unitarian church, and organized the meet- tag dy cleriing a president and sooretary; aNer which, ‘General Lane was called for and Tost enthusiastically re- q@vived. The Gevera! mounted the stand amid shouts of ‘applause, and spoke in substance as follows:— “Felfow citizens and men of dawrence,1 come not here Ww make a speech, but to talk with the people of Lawrence, Tcharge po member of the free State party of Kansas = a lack of real or Bd the cause, or in tryin, je our united efforts iv the one great object—free: . Kansas. Butl dhimk £ see a line of policy in the free ‘State party calculated to create a division in our moist, amd build up a Walker party aud anti Walker party, @ war party and an antiwar ty. I may be wrong, but | think see @ tine of policy, (meaning the Heralé of Freedom policy.) which is in tndod to build up a Walker party in the free State party. What bas Robert J, Walker done for the free State pariy that they should build up a Walker party? Ho regretted the Oxford frauds, which was his bounden duty to do, and the people of Lawreace, over their own signatures, Mhanked him for doing it’ Is that any reason why we abould build upa Waiker party inthe free State party? For three years ‘eemen of this Territory have fought the adwinistration and invaders from Missouri, and beat Whem every time. Let us not make a mistake on this oc- ome bere to adopt a line of policy in the <present exigency. Whey I want iny cue, Tcome to Law- rence. Never, during my threa yoars residence in Kansas, have { differed with the people of Lawrence, except on ene cecasion— (the General referred to the time when he wanted to hang the bogus constitutional convention) —aad f am glad to-night that we agree in the course to be pur- gucd. fut a constitution has been framed at Lecompton, @mi in Uie bill of rights there is slavery—in the Body of the instrument there is slavery. They ask we to vote for sldvery outside of the coustitution, and they will give us siavery inside. It is like a man throwing up the copper, ft Bs 1 win, tails you lose.”? They are determined to enslave the greatest par- ty of freemen in the world. When we went into the Oc tober election, we took a solemn pledge before Almighty God, and | believe he smiled as we did it, that we would put the Topeka government in motion if we did not s ‘ceed, and now let us do it. (Tremendous and proloaged cheering.) We succeeded in the election, but are tw be robbed of our government, We have 14,000 tried men to the wheels of government in motion Let Charles Eopinsos isos 8 proclamation calling the Topeka Legisla- ‘wre—just such a one as Charley will cet out—and thes traitors and conspirators will understand it. (Applause.) 3 there « mau in this room—an old line demoorat—who Delieves this constitution is safe in the halls of Congresst Tf so let him speak. Not one. You know that Kansas is too great @ prize to be trusted at Washington. The peo- Je must put their own government in motion. The time Ens Come for prompt decision and united action, to repel the usurped government which the minions of slavery are trying to thrust upon us. Dispose of the constitution and dispose of the traitors who made it. General Lane graphically described the great political crisis in Kansas, which threatens to become far more @sastrous than financial revulsions, producing devasta teen and destitution in its wake. The General retired amid shouts of applause. Governor Robinson was next failed for, and received with marked approbation. He mace an able speech, and defined the position of the free State party and the course to be pursued, evincing that er ready spirit to resist oppression, from whatever source it might come. He was frequently applauded, and vetired amid deafening cheers. ‘A committee of five was appointed to report resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting. After being duly disensred and adopted seriatim, they were adopted as a whole, by unanimous consent. PROCLAMATION. In my next I shall probably send you a proclamation rom Secretary Stanton or Governor Robinson, but un- doudtedly from the latter Beavenworth City (Nov. 20) correspondence of the Chicago -Daily Press A large and enthusiastic meeting of the citizens of Law- Fence was convened on the evening of the 19th. It bad been aundunced that Gen. Lane would be at ‘apd address the people upon this subject—*What shall we do in the present crisis The meeting was organized by the appointment of Gen. F. B. Whitman, chairman, and Norman Allen, Esq., secretary. Gen. Whitman upon taking te chair, made a few appropriate remarks, and Roncluded by introducing to the meeting General Jamee Heury o m. Jane then came forward and took the stand. Lane possesses strange power over an audience. Asa ‘Western stump apeaker he is unrivalled. If he is not the abiest reasoner and the clearest thinker in the free State ranks, yet by his eloquence he can sway the minds of the people and exercise over them an influence go other man ean wield There was no probability now of a special session of the Senatorial Legislature being called. The only cause which remained w us was adhere tothe Topeka gov- ernment At the conclusion of Gen Lane’s remarks Was appointed by the chair to prepare a series of resolu. Dons.

At th committee reported, through their chairman, Col.

On the first Monday in January, 1858, another bogus election is w tke pl for Stato officers, under border roffian auspices, which will also be repudiated by the free State party. The Prince Regent will then announce the ‘success of the pro-slavery candidates. The usurpers hope that by this vime Congress will have adopted the bogs constitition, 0 that their State officers can immodiately assume the functions of their several posts, thus extin- guishing Ube free State Legislature and placing the govern- ment entirely in the control of the rufflans. ‘What a worthy and honorabic game ! and what a pity it will be t have all the hopes of the usurpers blasted by arefusat on the part of Congress to adopt their nigger- worshipping constitution. City Intelligence, ROBBERY AT THE MERCHANTS’ EXCHANGE—WHERE ARE THE ‘Poucr/—On Tuesday afternoon, during high ’Change, and when the merchants were assembled for the transaction of business in the rotunda of the building, some expert thief who had thrust himself in among them, relieved 4 ship broker of valuable gold seals and key, which he cut loose from a strong watch ribbon to which they were fastened. Under the old police system at the Merchants’ Exchange, inching the offices and tenoments within the walls, who pay a tax of about $70,000, a special policeman ws dmel daily, who looked after the property in the building and vicinity and took bis position in the rotunda during ‘Change hours tor the purpose of protecting mer- chants from intrusion a id robbery while é1 ed in busi- ness. Under the new p lice system the officer has dis- appeared, and, though the managers of the building bave repeatedly requested the Commissioners to detail ‘a policeman to look after matters as formerly, yet so far without success. Had an officer been present yesterday the thief could have been caught. AMUSEMENTS IN FOURTH AVENCE.—Tuesday morning, about four o’clock, the neighbors oi Fourth avenue, be- tween Ninth and Tenth streets, were startled from their slumbers by the report of a gun, followed by groans of agony and cries of ‘ Murder,” “Murder.” Instantly the windows flew up, and heads in nightcaps were protruded. On the sidewalk lay a man to all intents and purposes dead. First SPRAKER (2 a fey ye Ay from a window at opposite side of the street)—Vat ish Sxconp SPRakeR—A man has been shot, and is lying down on the sidewalk there. The baker shot him. SavERAL Voices (from several windows dispersediy)— “Watch,” “Wateb,”’ “Vateh,”’ “Vateh."” But full fifteen minates: elapsed before the watch made their appearance. SxconD SrEakEn—You're a nice eet of police. PoiceMaN— What's the matter? Spoonp SPRAKER—What’s the matter? Why do you ask? Where are your eyes? Don’t you see the man dead on the sidewalk there? POLICEMAN (pettishly)—There is no one dead here. Sxcoxp SPEAKER (shutting down window)—Umph! he has got up and run away then. It seems that the bakery of Mr. ities was beset by a party of rowdies, who. having doubtless spent the night in some carouse, had begun to feel a little hungry towards morning, and wished to have a little of Mr. Char- pentier’s bread without paying for it. He offered to let them have four loaves from the shop, but the loafers want- ed some of the bread out of the oven. Remonstrance was tried in vain, so failing in every expedient, Mr. Charpen tier, as he was justifiable in doing, took down his double barrel and slapped into them, bitting one of them in the seat of his breeches, thereby damaging his honor and his gait, and causing him to go through feats of gy mnasuce unknown to Ottignon, and to bellow like a bull. Before the arrival of the police, the wounded party, who is now said to be somewhere in Thirteenth street, had either been removed by his friends or removed himself. Not finding him, the police made no further investigation about the matter. Why should they? Why should they bother themselves about matters in which the lives and properties of their fellow citizens are concerned? Tae Democratic Cocyciiwey Carces.—It seems that the eighteen democratic Councilmen, composing a majority of the newly elected Board, (consisting of twenty-four mem- bers,) have two candidates for their next president, Messrs. Haswel! and Arcularius. The friends of the lat ter gentleman held # caucus at the corner of Br and Forsyth streets, on Tuesday evening, and unanimously no- inated him for that position. It is reported that the op- position will also present their candidate, so that unless the members compromise their preferences, it will be ¢ ficult for them to unite upon the choice of their presiding officer. Fire 1x Waren Strxer.—Shortly before 10 o'clock last night a fre was discovered in the third story of the Ave story building No. 48 Water street. The alarm soon brought the firemen to the premises, and they extinguish. ed it with Dut little damage. Upon examination the fire seemed to have originated amongst some bales of shoady, apparently there on storage. The third floor is occupied by Dr. Ham, manufacturer of invigorating spirits. The fourth and hifth floors were stored with teas and other kinds of merchandise. Second floor by A. W. Hogg, dealer in drugs and medicines, and the first floor by James: Turner, agent for Lubricating oils. The damage done to the stock will not amount to much over $100, and the damage to the building trifling Personal Intelligence. Covonst =Horack P. Ress axp tae Proorass oF Cau- YORNIA.—It appears that Colonel Horace P. Russ, of this city, bas, by individual energetic exertion, done much in California towards the full developement of the mineral wealth of an important section of that State, as well as conferring substantial benefits on the people by founding & new town called Russville, and maintaining Jeocial order by a humane, but firm, discharge of bis judicial functions. In consequence of the public appreciation of these benefii# an influential meeting of the citizens of Ruseville and Folsom was held in Folsom on the 19th of October, at which resolutions were passed, regretting the Colonel's intention of returning to the Atlantic States; endorsing him as the pioneer quartz miner of Sacra mento, recommending him as accurately posted @n all we mining interceta of California; acknowledging their in- debtedness to him for opening his great granite quarry and the founding ef Russville; and congratulating him on his character as judge apd private gentlemen These resoluvons having been transmitted to the Colonel, he replied by letter, on 28th of October, announcing his’ in- tention of returning to California, ‘drawing at the same time an outline of the future greatness which, in his ‘opinion, i# in store for that State. ‘The Leavenworth City correspondent of the Boston Traveller say® that on the 20th ult. George N. Sanders was in that city “figuring for Walker.”” ‘The noted “border ruMfan,"’ James H. Stringfellow, has left Kansas and is about to retarn to Virginia, which i# said to be his native State, ‘The Washington Union gives the following notice of J. 1. Orr, the Speaker of the Thirty-fifth Congrers:— Mr. Orr was born at Craytonville, South Carolina, on the 12th day of May, 1822, and is vow consequently in’ the thirty sixth year of his age. He graduated in 1840 at the University of Virginia, and immediately devoted himself to the study of the law in the office of Judge Whitner, then solicitor of the Western circuit of his native State, and was admitted to the bar in May, 1543. When but little more than twenty twe years of age he was elected by the largest vote ever given in bis district a member of re, ib Which body he soon distinguished him. me & leading member. In IM® he was elected to Congress, and has continued to reproeent bis district to the present time.

Mr. Denon stated that these resolutions had been agreed upon by the committee appointed at the New York meeting. He spoke in favor of the resolutions, explain- ing the necessity that existed for their adoption, not be- cause the integrity of the present directors was necessa- rily doubted, but in order that a greater degree of conti- dence might be imparted amougst stockholders, and the | seers and unjust attacks of a hostile press be prevented. He vindicated the policy of placing gertain restrainin, powers in the bands of a committee of stockholders, au concluded by announcing that whose name had been proposed of Directors at the New York meeting, had Teftised to ac- cept the position. He therefore desired to substitute the name of Charles A. Mann, of Utica, in his Pisce. Mr. Hron Ware, of Syracuse, thought a handful of stockhoiders had no right to dictate toa Board of Direct- ors, although they might offer what recommendations they saw fit. If there were any leakages, he thought a com- mittee of stockholders would be fully authorized in en- deavoring to find out what and where they were. He did Bot see any reason why the name of Mr. L. Spraker should be left off the Board of Directors, and proposed his name in place of that of Mr. Mann. Mr. Davip Warr, of Utica, spoke warmly in favor of a reform in the management of the road, and urged the ne- cessity of stockholders of every railroad in the United States to look after their own interests. He urged the re- tention of the name of Mann, of Utica, on the ticket; but did net entertain much hope of electing him, unless the power behind the throne should yield to the reasonable Tequests of the stockhe Mr. Denon was willing to leave the matter open, and sufler stockholders to vote for Mr. Sprakeror Mr. Marn, as they might see ft Mr. H. Winrre objected further to the resolutions on the ground that they made charges by insinnation against the present Beard, Rev. A. Skin, of Utica, did not see that the resola- tions attacked aig person,or attached blame to the pre sent directors. He deemed them highly proper and wise, as indicating in the present troubled condition of the finances of the country, that the stockholders were p ned the existing system of suffering directors to vote on proxies, and expressed the belief that no foreign stock should be represented by proxies in the election of officers Hiren J. Hastves asked what the meeting was called for? It was charged by New Yorkers that seme swindling and kpavery existed on the part of the directors. If this was true, it was the duty of honest men to turn them out, It was chila’s play to strike a man on the back, and then oil him down. Stockholders should act in this as they would act in their private business; and if the directors are dishonest men and thieves, the stockholders should turn them out. Mr. Dewow said that no insinuation was made or intend. ed against dhe directors by the New York stockholders, ‘On the contrary, the resolutions and the pr: ed action of the meeting went to show their desire to puta stop to | the insinuations against the anagement of the road, by e adopting certain reforms and re the present Board.

The second resolution in Mr. Dehone's series was then taken up and debated at length. It was stated that no real construction account existed ; but as the sum of $800,000 appesred in the report of the directors as charged toconstruction account, it was explained that this sum was the actual increase in the cost of running the road. Mr, Dehon advocated the closing of that account, and the adoption of a different system of keeping ‘the account for outlays for locomo- tives, carriages, &c. Mr. Rosknoom, who stated that he represented $200,000 worth of stock, feared that the meoting was only injuring their property by these proceedings, without having any authority or any power to do any ir. BUTTERFIELD spoke warmly in relation to the man agement of the road. It should be remembered that when the directors who have for rome years confrolled the man- agement of the road came into the road was noto- — ih a bad condition, and the debt was necessary to ad it in the excellent condition in which {t_ now is. =e «i cvery respect for the New York but when = Ptiodad to the New York and ie Road, he would suggest that if the Central Road had been ‘managed as the New York and Erie Railroad had been managed by New Yorkers, tt m’ght now be in a con- dition similar to that of the latte: ‘ a little confusion ensued ‘spon this, and after further jebate Mr. Marti, of ban opposed the resolution as stating what was not a fact.

A motion was then made to reconsider the tenth resolu- tion, relating to proxies. Pending the digcussion the CHArRMAN announced that the New York delegation must now leave, to take the cars, and resigned his seat. The meeting then called Mr. John Butterfield to the chair, and made Mr. L. P.

Recorder smith th then proceeded to charge the Grand Jury, which is his closing charge, as his official term wil! expire at the end of this term. Ho said there were so many of the gentlemen who had been just sworn who were familiar with the duties devolv- ed toe, grand jurors that but for the require- ment the ‘statute it would be entirely cee for him to address them. Lotteries were solte wed ibited, and any violation of the laws regard- ing them was punisbable by fine and imprisonment. The jaw in relation to usury declared that the taking more than seven per cent interest was a misdemeanor. His Honor said that there was net enough importance attached to the laws relative to extortion, by public officers, by the community. had sent @ huimber of such cases toa | previous Grand Jury, but was unable to state whether action had been taken on them or not. The Court recom- mended the jury to give such charges a careful inves: ation. In relation to the violation of the new excise 4 especially the selling of liquor on Sunday, te Recor. der said that he had alread; 4 decided that until such charges were first investigated by the committing magis- trate—the offence being a misdemeanor—the Grand Jury should not entertain them. His Hopor intimated that a number of complaints age cing ars for a violation of the election Jaws, would probably come before them. as he perceived by the public papers that several arrests were made for illegal voting at the late muni- cipal election, Whether all these cases had been dis- ed of m the Special Sersions he was unable to say, Dut intimated that the timo of the Grand Inquest could not be better employed than in giving such charges a careful examination, for upon the purity of our elections depend- ed all the blessings we enjoyed. There was astatute pro- \ {ded for treating election rioters, which stated that as- saults uy and interference with officers upon that day was afelony. The Legislature had passed that etringeut Jaw last winter, and to the stringency of thet law might be attributed the quiet, although exceed exciting, olec- tion through which the citizens of New Yori had passed. He believed that there had been very little rioting and in- terference at the polls; and by contrasting the preceding election with the cone one, the great benefit of the stringency of that law would be clearly seen. There was a class of cases which of late had become very numerous —bamely, complaints of false pretences. Du the ex- treme pressure of the times, and the commercial embar- rassments to which many had been subjected, the method of bar pope debts by resorting toa criminal process, in- stead of striving to obtain them in the ordinary way, had een resorted to. The Court advised the Grand Jury to call in the aid of the District Attorney when cases of that pature were presented for their adjudication, because the rules governing such charges were ver! ry intricate. In nine cases out of ten it would be the duty of the Court to « the case when it came before the petit jury, on the sbow- ing of the complainant, although the accused might have been indicted by the Grand Jury, and held by the magis- The Grand Jury then retired, attended by a posse of officers. ‘The petit ur roll was called, and twenty-five gentle- men were $25 each for non-attendance.
