APPAIRS IN KANSAS. ADDRESS TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OP KANSAS. Two years ago the party which. io this Territory, has ly planted itself against all baw, pted to form aStete government, and produced the Topeka ee This vos Dey ete is ae black Fepudlican party, ori @ Seward, a Sumner, a Wilson, a Greeley'and a Mace, ofthe North, ahd which has Bad for its aids in Kansas. Robinsvun, a Lane, a Reeder and thors, continue to cherish and cling to their fopeka eons tution, and if they bad the power would at once inaugurate itm Kansas, Since they f¢ ‘under the auspices of Reeder to get control of the affairs of the Terrivory, they have un- ceasingly strugeied to form a State government by pro- be curing option of that revolutionary instrument—it having been utterly repudiated by the proper authprities Of thg federal governmeni. Under am act of the Territo- vial wlature the “law and order,’’ or democratic party of the Territory, expressed an almost unanmous desire, pn the first Monday ip October, 1856, to change the Terri- Joria} for a State government. In pursuance with this latter expression the last Logis- lature passed an act for taking the census and electing delegates to a convention for formation of a constitu. tion for the State of Kansas. Thus the two contending ties in Kangas, the demogratic aud black republican, Bove with wonderful unanimity sought to relieve the ‘Territory from its troubles by substituting a State govern. ment in its stead. Refusing to recognise the validity of the laws enacted by the Legislature of Kaneas, the bluck repubiican party utely declined to participate in the election of dele- gates to the Constitutional Convention, and proclaimed to the world that if the delegates should present for their approval or rejection their own favorite Topeka constitu. tion they would vote against it toa man. Their evident was, either to secure to themselves the coatrol of all governmental affairs in Kansas, or tocontinue the agita- Lion of the difficulties they have produced here, go that they might be made to exercise a controlling influence in the pex: Presidential election. This position of the jublicans led to the adoption of the coa- stitution pow submitted to the consideration of we people which comemplates wot only a speedy settlement of all Aifticulties of Kansas, but leaves the people to determine by their votes whether Kansas shall be aslave ora free Biate—this being the only question which ever divided the people of Kansas, or which has ever been discussed here or elsewhere. Under the provisions of the constitution the democratic party of the Territory, in convention assembled, have Presented to you for your sapport candidates for State @@cers, and’ask you to rally to their support on the first Monday of January next. They also ask of all democrats, without distinction of slave or free State, to come up to the polls on the 21st of December and determine whether Kansas sha)! be a slave or afree State, They also further ask of the democratic party in the severa! counties of the Territory to organize and elect members of both branches of the Legislature under the Lecompton constitution. ‘The gentlemen put in nomination for State officers are, without exception, inen of ability and high character. ‘Their election will secure to Kansas, under the new con @titation of government, every conceivable advantage. ‘They are too well known to need ealogy at our hands, and we proceed t) suggest to you some few reasons why the copstitution recently presented at Lecompton should be 1 by the people of Kansas. It is objected to the coastitution that if even the free State side of it should be adopted by the paopis, Kansas ‘will yet be a slave State. This true that if the slavery article should ba st out of the constitation there yet re! £ provision that the right to those slaves now in the Torri Jory shall continue inviolate. This provision was designed by the Convention which framed the constitution to atlras the Dred Scott ¢ecisim of the Supreme Court of the United States. It simply covers that ground, and no more. The objection 1 tho provision is good and when it cous black republican or an abolitionist, bat does jo Kansas find good reason for objection to which every democrat in the Unicn, Norty or South, now asserts to be a part of the democratic creed. We put it distinctly to any democrat to say if he objects to the above provi- sion in a free State constitution? We ask him, further, to say whether there be ieft any other provision on the sub- ject of slavery in the constitution, provided the free State side of it should be adopted? If not, we ask him to cease hie clamor against the constitation, because the free State side of it. afirms and sustains the Dred Scott decision, or to take ground at once with the black republicans that t] docision is w! , and that the Missouri compromise was mot repealed? For if that restriction which was intended by sts anthors to prevent slave owners from an equal par ficipation in the setuement of this Territory with their “property”’ of every kind, was not repealed by our or- ganic law, then the bili failed in its all pur- Pose to extend even and exact justice to all sextions ef the country. It, however, it was removed, and all ational men think it should have been, and was, the shaves introdeced during the territorial govern- ment are held by legal tenure, and po true man from the North or South can or will object to the right of ther ‘owners to retain them. If those here be an ovil, their pambers are small, and the injury prop riionably 80, and i be true the institution cannot exist bere by reason of the “isothermal line,” Jack of profit or any other cause, why such contestion? Lo our opinion the whole question of slavery in Kansas, or out of it, is purely social or do mestic in its uature, and that it bas been made to assume a arpect by designing polticians. Fe is no provision in the instrument on the subject of slavery which can be objected to by any one but a black repubiican, for if it shall be adopted by the people, it is Just as A free State constitution a8 is the constitution ‘ef any free State in the Uniov, and every free State maa ‘who casts bis vote for the free State side of this constitu- tion will decide in favor of as good a constitution as any body of men have made or can make. ‘ It is objected w the coustitation that it forces upon the our try provisions which a majority of the voters do not approve, and upon the adoption of which they are denied the right of ee omnions. The proposition submited to the votes of the people contains substantially two constitutions—the one a slave and the other a free Sthte coustitution. And the vaters of the Territory are called upon to determine whether they will bave a slave or a free State constitation. This is the ‘en)y question which has ever beea discussed by the peo. ple of Kansas or the people of the States; and n> man liv- fog in or out of Kansas has ever heard aay question made ‘apon any other provision of a constitution. A free State Constitution is the constitution of Tilinols, Ohio, Vermont, Massachusetts or Wisconsin, al) the features of which are ‘as well known as the articles iv the Presbyterian coutes: ion of faith. There is no diversity of opinion abous them, except that the black republicans would exclude the ea- Goreement of the Prod Scott decision, which is contained im the instrument Atree State constitution or vo State constitution are things as well known as a free megro ora black tlaye, And when the people of Kansas are called y ! tw decide whether they will havo a siave State or State constitution, evagybedy knows that the only diflerence between the two is, whether slavery ehall be introduced or excluded. Any man or set of men, at this period, who would draft a free State con stitation would make just such @ Constitation as was made at Topeka two years ago, or was made at Lecompton inst month, if the free Bate side of it shall be taken as the fundamental law of Kansas. And when the Lecompton Constitut:onal Convention sub Mitted aslave State anda free State constitution ty the for their choice, they submitted everything of dir between the two parties, here and that the achedule provides that either the slave oF free State constitauion framed by the Convention shall be taken as the constitution of Kan san. This is the point of objection by the biack repebli cane; Latent Bag Gnd in the Cres State wide of that instrument Lo plaurible objection, yet they are w & because they did not make it thomsclves; ther course and avowals have been such that they would op- from our party, on the conatitution or legisiation. were anxious 0 have the question set. to take this question out of tne government, (notwithstanding their ‘umbounded confidence in the able statesman and patriot his Cabinet, and also in the truly of Congrets,) and toremore it as an element of factions strife from the politics of the oowatry, Convention Hence, in saying determine the question whether lave or free State, they submitted in the constitution for their deci- i i i vei é Ag a State.

This report of some diMonltiee which have taken place at Fort Scott betwoen the fron State and praela very fen is the pro version of the aifuir, That |! js cb diculously absurd, abd witely at variance with the fac is very evident. Gen. Lane, whom they report to be at the heat of « army, has been quigtly sWending the session o! Lhe Logis NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, JANUARY 3, 1858 lature at Lecompton, for nearly two weeks past. Thatse- rious difficuities have orcurre) at Fort Scott is certain. ‘The facts, as known, are as follows:— A proslavery man named Clark, notorious a8 the mur- derer of Barber, during the difficulties which occurred two years ago, bas been living at Fort Scott, where. he held the post of receiver in the Jand office. He has rendered himself odious to the free State men by a regular system of persecution. Accomoanied by a Deputy Sheriff, be has been going about collecting taxes, seizing upon pro- perty in default of payment, and making Prosecutions under the odious rebellion bill. Several free Stato men were arrested and coniined for rebellion againat the Ter- ritorial authorities, because they refuse to pay taxes. A company of free State men, under Captain Mont. gomery, went down from Sugar Mound to Fort Scott to ef- tect the liberation of these men, At. the same time the pro-slavery men sent for aid across the border, aud were reinforced by about oue hundred and fifty Missourians, In the mean time, the pro-slavery meh at Fort Scott, foarful of consequences, released three prisoners. The Missourians then attacked the premises of a free State man living near the fort, and succeeded in burning his dwelling and driving him from his claim. This outrage was resented by the free State men, anda skirmish took place between the two parties. It is reported that three pro. Savery men were killed, and several wounded on sides, Since the above was written a messenger has arrived, bringing the latest intelligence (rom the seat of war. He reports that there was a pitched battle between the hostile parties last evening (the 16th). Five pro-slavery men were killed; among them is Dr. Blake Little, a member of he Jate Lacompton Convention. About twenty free Stato mep bad deen taken prisonera by different parties of Mis- souriars, and were confined in Fort Scott. At a little town just across the border in Missouri, the Missourians bad aseembied in arms to the number of six huutred, aud were about to march over into Kansas. The free State men are thoroughly aroused, and a most determined spirit of fight prevails. Fort Seott will doubtless be razed 10 the ground, and its ashes scatiered to the winds. At last accounts Clark, the instigator of the troubles, was sti} at large, but if hie fell into the hands of the fred State men his life would probably pay the penalty of his crimes. It is not known whetber the Executive will com- ply with the demand to send troops. Stanton,to whom the demand was made, has been removed, and jt is not kuown how the new Governor, Gen, Denver, will act in the premises. {From the Lawrence Republican, Dec. 17.) THE CONVENTION TO REASSEMBLE. The Delegate Convention which assembled at Lawrence on the 2d inst, has been summoned by the Territorial Executive Committee, to meet here again the 23d of the present month, ‘The first impulse of our readers, undoubtedly, will be to inquire what this means. Why is the Convention to assemble? ‘The matter, as we understand it, is thia: The Conven- tion on the 2d with an unanimity and enthusiasm rarely to be found, marked out a certain line of policy—a bold, straightforward, consistent course of action. The vital point in that line of poliey was the submiasion by the Le- gislative Assembly, at ita extra session, of both constitu- tions—the Iecompton and Tupeka—to a free and fair youe of the people. The Lecompton constitution was to be voted down and the Topeka constitution adopted. This, it was apprehended, would either prevent the adoption of the Lecompton constitation by Congress, or in event of its adoption, would furnish us with a legal ‘starting point for rallying around the Topeka constitution and successfully resisting the other. Ths policy wo giadiy suported. But it is ascertained that the Legislature, without whose action the plan cannot be carried Uirough, refuses to accede to the unamimous request of the people. Humiliauing aud galling to the peuple as this fact may be, it is, never- theless, afact. Tho excuse made by the members of the Legislature who thuc assume the responsibility of nullify ing the action of the poople, is that they are under a pledge to Governor Stanton which prohibits them from submitting the Topeka on . Pipotner this ple is a valid ore, and made in g¢ , we do not say. The only pledge given by the mem! 3 this, contained in a letter asking the Governor to call the extra ses- 8i0L.— “(As the representatives of the people of Kansas, duly elected and commissioned, we take the liberty of frankly stating to your Excellency that we shail not deem is neces sary or proper, if you call an extra session of the said Legiglative Assembly, to meet the present extraordinary crisis in our Territoria! history, for the said Legislature to enter upon or engage in any other business than that which may be necessary, in our judgment, to counteract, as far as we can legally, the pr lings for the pretended sub mission of the £0 called Lecompton constitution to a vote of the people, or to give the bona fide citizens of tho Terri- tory a fair and impartial opportunity, through the ballot box, to express themeelves in favor of or against that in- strument. The regular session being close at hand, any other bnsiness, however imporiant, may, without great detriment to Weipablic, bo postponed until that time.” ‘The whole action, it will be seen, is left, not to Governor Stanton’s opinion, but to the jadgment of the members themeelves. Whether the strict and literal car- rying out of the plan of action which the people usani mously proposed in the Delegate Convention—viz: the sub tuission of the two constitutions together—would have been any more a violation of the above plodge than the poasare ‘of the militia law, or some of the other acta of the egisiative Assembly at this extra session, we leave the people to judge, Itis enflicient to know that the Logisla ture takes the responsibility of nullifying the plan of the people. That the freedom of Kansas has been most seri ously imperilied by this action of those whom the people had dehghted to honor and to trust, we are most thorough. ly and painfully convinced. The pian of battle is broken up: the leaders themselves have hauled down the “old, blood-stained bapner,’’ the gallant charge 80 auspiciously commenced has been brought to adead halt; confusion reigns, and defeat threatens! ‘The only hope now jeft is again to call the Convention together, and see how, with this changed aspect of affairs we shall act. We may now be driven to the adoption of measures which would not have been entertai for a moment had the plan unanimously adopted by the Con vention on the 2d instant been faithfully carried out.

The main ind of the rejection ia that the grant includes the Presidio and Fort Point.

News from the West Coast of Mexico, OUR ACAPULOO CORRBSPONDENCE. AcapoLo, Dec, 12, 1857. Position of President Comonfort—Staditity of his Govern- ment—The One Man Power Rule—Transportation of Privoners—Policy of the Act—No Communication with Mexico City. It would appear to an observer that the future destiny of this unfortunate country is about being fixed uposa foundation which must ensure its prosperity against the secret machinatioas of its enemies, or that tome sudden and disguised blow is to be struck to displace the head which has, against the strongest and wildest opposition, ‘snocessfully battled to place her in her present position, irrespective of the domestic broils which bave taken place. It is no Jonger a matter of speculation whether the one man power is t© be absolute, or whether most absolute power, bidding the laws make ourtaey to his will, jooking both right and left, either in condemnation or approval. That he has the nerve to ride upon the dial’s point, his past firmness is a sufficient sreranioe. and that be is more firmly seated within the Presidential chair to-day than,at any time since his assumption, is no idle rumor, but every day confirms his position against the hypocritical “snakes with sbiming checkered slough” by which he is sarrounded. Of all who have made the attempt to rale since the flight of that tyrant, Santa Apna, none have even approxi- mated ip any manner to play the part which tho position, of President Comonfort demands; and wero it pot for tho constant and secret understandings of the church, who mask their treacherous plottings from the general eye under the garb of their religion, there is not a man ia the republic who would receive more smiles in reconciling foes to friendly peace, and bringing that treasure within her borders which complote of mischief and treason have 80 long distracted. It has been predicted frem the first day of his bright carcer up to the present hour that the month wotld not close and find the present commander ‘at the belm of state; and yet he rules, the good guardian of his country’s honor, unmindful of the petty jealousies which daily turn up against him, but which be passeth by as the idie wind and reapecteth ‘quite as much. His journey to the topmost round required slow pace at first, but he is now so far beyond the reach in general houest thought and common good to all, and the elements :0 an alytically mixed in him, “That nature might stand up and say to all the world, this is the man ”” On Sunday last, 6th inst., one hundred and eighty odd of the prisoners that were taken by General Alvarez at the late struggle of the forces of Vicario, at Chilapa, were transported to an island about three miles distant from this port, where men die from time totime and worms have eaten them. Among them were priests, judges, lawyers, merctants, wealthy hacienda owners and farmers, and the loose scum and butt end of lean, Jank, ragged misery, who had one and all taken an active part or were in some way directly or indirectly iaterested in the overthrow of the power of General Alvarez in this State, or in league with Vieario, to barass and arnoy the government in its attempt to keep peace aad tame the “savage spirit of wild war? which has ¢o lovg rua riot in this State. It may be that, by thus ban’shing, af- faire will teke a different turn. There may he policy m his; but if there is ] cannot perceive Ts is say d that is is the only conr e left; that by giving them Itberty Foon fal! back into the same rebellious spirit and become as troublesome as ever. It is a melancholy thing, and this heavy sin canpet | shouldered upon the government. This, to yeu. appear surange, yetitis nevertheless true. In we live under the government of Gencral Alvarez—his word is tho law of the land—and he acts independent of the government when it suits bis convenience, yet upholds the govera ment when it does not conflict with his views. The penalty of death hangs over the heat of him who dare h this island without permission; and rest pont the permission is granted about once in a thou sand times asking, excepting io the guard who supply their daily wants. It is a sight disgusting and sickening to see these unfortunates chained together by two's, He and filthy, the invalid with the healthy, huddled together, to live, die and rot, with no wife, mother, sister or loved ono to smooth the fevered bre as life’s precious moment drops into the embrace of leath.

A Spanish am baxsador in the time of Queen Elizabeth very nearly mvde Wa casus belli because an Alderman of the name of Johu Cut was the — ordered to receive him. He was only appeased on learning that the worthy citizen maintained style of living which was anything bat monosyllabic, and ho passed over the shortness of bis name for the sake of his ample hospitality. Had public loans been ia fashion then the noble Castilian might have aided in curtailing the purse of his entertainer to his name, and Joba Cat's 1 representatives might be among the largest hol unpaid coupons. Jt ia clear, then, taat the Spanish tiers showed praiseworthy foresight in deliberating ong and carefully on the namo of the future sovereiga. ‘A private letter from Madrid of the 8th lust. giver some purticnlars about that important subject: — of baptizing the Prince took place last night. The Gazette of to-day will of course give a full ac count of it. You are, aware that the personage who represented the Pope as godfather was the Nanow, Mon- signor Barelli, who has just arrived. He presented with t pomp last Sunday bis credentials to the (Queen, as Well as an auto letter of his Holiness to the King. Some incilents pot unworthy of notice ovcnrred during the ceremony.

You may remember that Queen Chatina had dove the same doty for her who but was Princess of the Asturias, but who now is simply Tofanta, The Doke and Duchess of Montpen- Bier wore present, and the latter might very well have acted as godmother instead of Madame Maipioa. The passive rdle given to this amiable couple, and the modest and Gpassuming manner ia which they presented them selves, attracted genera) attention, It was remarked that Gen. Narvaez remained, during the whole time the ceremony Insted, and that was nearly two hours, atnong the . the mombera of the household, in the centre of the chapel, one of a countless Multitace of gentlemen of the chambers, Ac., and apja- rently with no inclination to ocenpy the place set apart for Field Marshals Concha, O Donnell, Serrano, and the ex. to iy who may the pubic ors of tke ceremony—who occupied the aste of those who had the honor of a distinct ga! lery.

LARGE AMOUNT OF PROPERTY FOR THE BENEFIT OF CATHOLIC INSTITUTIONS IN ST. LOUIS. (From the St. Lows Republican, Dec. 23.) The last will and testament of John ‘Thornton, de- ceased, was yesterday presented and admitted to probate. As consideral diversity of opinion and speculation exists in relation to its contents, we pub- lish the bequests made. The will is of recent date, mrporting to have been executed on the Idth of mber, 1857, in the presence of Messrs, Owen V. Timon and Francis J. Steigers, who are the witnesses, The Right Rev. Bishop Kenrick, Jobu Withnell and Edward Walsh, are made the execn- tora. ‘The first bequest is $60,000 to his exeentors in trast, to be applied to the use and benefit of the surviving children of his late brother, Patrick Thornton, giving to his nephews, John Thorn- ton $20,000, and Nicholas Thornton $10,000, and to each of his nieces, three of them, $10,000 each. This bequest is to be invested in the way of loans secured upon real estate by deed of trust and mort- gage, the assessed value of which is to be at least twice the amount so invested, the annual interest of which is to be paid half-yearly to the legatees. To Peter Richard Kenrick he devises the sum of $53,000 for the St. Lonis Hospital Association, and makes the following additional bequests:—$2,000 to the Male Orphan Asylum, corner Fifteenth street and Clark avenue; $2,000 to Female Orphan Asylum, corner Biddle and Tenth streets; $2,000 for Theologi cal inary at Carondelet; $2,000 for Widows’ Home and g-in Hospital, corner of Tenth and O'Fallon streets; $2,000 for the Home of the Good Shepherd, Seventeenth street; between Pine aud Chestnut; $2,000 for Half Orphan Asylum for girls, corner Bighth. and Main streets; $2,000 for the Home of St. Philo- mena, corner of Fifth and Walnut streets; $2,000 for Sisters of Mary, corner of Tenth and Morgan streets; $1,000 for parochial schools attached to each of the fol- lowing Catholic churches:—Cathedral, St. Franc Xavier, St. Patrick, St. John, St. Michael, the Arch- angel; St. Lawrence O'Toole; $5,000 forthe use and benefit of the following churches:—Cathedral, St. Patrick, St. Michaels, St. Lawrence O'Toole, Imma- culate Conception, and $2,000 to the Bishop for the purpore of enabling him to begin the foundation of a Boy’s Catholic Reform Institution; $3,000 for the Bishop’s own use and benefit; and the residue of his estate of every description, to Archbishop Peter Richard Kenrick, constituting him his heir at law, in the belief that he will apply it for the benefit of the indigent and to advance the cause of religion. ‘These are all the important bequests of Mr. Thorn- ton’s will, It bears date, as will be observed, on the 14th of the present month, and was made before his health became so much impaired as to confine him to his bed. Our citizens are, many of them, familiar with an incident in. his life, which placed it in great jeopardy—that of an attempt to commit suicide i intlicting a dangerous wound in the region of the abdomen, He recovered however, from this wound, and was engaged for years in the active transaction of bis business. it proved in the end the cause of his death, as his ai tered appearance from month to month may have satisfied almost every one who knew him jntiinate! Mr. Thornton was a Catholic, aud this may ai count for the peculiar disposition of his fortun After providing liberally for bia relatives, hem numerous bequests to various benevolent institutions in this city, to schools attached to the several Catho lic churches, a timited sum to several churches, and afew minor bequests. These don ounting to $145,000, absorb, as our informant le 8 to be- lieve, scarcely a third of the estate. We estimate his entire wealth ‘at $475,006 to $500,000, andas he owed nothing, the public may readily see what amount of property is left in trust to the Arch- bishop. Collector Schell and the Goasting Vessels. The statement which appeared in the Heaty of Sunday last, relative to the imposition of fines on small coasting vessels in this harbor—in cases where the masters cannot produce a manifest—does injustice toour new Collector, Mr ‘Augustus Schell. Mr. Schell, it appears, has not attempt ed to enforce the old law of 1793; on the contrary, he has been strongly opposed to the interference of the revenue cutter with our small coasting vessels; but when returns were made to him of fines imposed on the masters of such versels, he fonnd himself compelled to try and cojlect them. Whatever officiousness has appeared in the miter of ate is petely that the officer recently placed in com- mand of the revenue cutter. Mr. Shell's opinion of his right to act under the Aw, as weil his disinelimation to interfere with the commerce of our coasting veseels by placing any vexatious obstacles in their way, may be seen rom the subjoined correspondence between hin and Mr. Secretary Cobb:— fom Hous, New Youx, + Ovpwen, Deo. 23, 1807. ©.
