Last Saturday, the County Convention met at Troy, to nominate Delegates to the Constitutional Convention.

Gen. Lane addressed the meeting, urging" unanimity action, counselling peace, and expressing the hope that the proslavery men would vote next Tuesday, for the purpose of finaly settling the Kansas difficulties. The Convention then went into nominations. Each township selected its own Candidates. AVhen more than was there presented, the Convention decided by tablet who the Candidate should be.

Gen. Lane was then chegen. -Mr. Thompson and Mr. Earrran for the Floating Delegate.

Mr. 33arr was elected two majority. We publish the ticket in another column DCNIPHAX C1TT. A public meeting of the Citizens of Doniphan was held in this town on Thurs day for the purpose of hearing an address from Mr. Harris St rat ton, our Delegate ti the Territorial Legislature, He gave an account of the proceeding cf tliat corrupt Assembly, which more than justified every thing we have said of it.

The following resolutions were adopted with only one dissenting voice and that simply on account of the phraiseolo gy of the third rcsoluion. Mr. Ilobb was Chairman aad $Ir Hiram llousel Secretary. "Whereas, The Territorial Legislature, has refused to obey the instructions cf the People, twice, in Delegate Conventions pronounced, in not submitting tuc o- peka Constitution to the popular vote uuder the furms of Jaw and "Whereas.

The "Wabonsa correspondent of the Law rence Republican, in commenting upon the above resoltnions, remarks I do not know one person in our com munity who dissents from the position they assume, and if it shall turn out that the ree State iicKei is eiecteu, anu nicy undertake to, work the Government under the Lccompton Constitution, we desire an earhi notice of the existence of any such intention, ana "we noia mem as we noiu the rest of mankind, enemies in a war upon our and shall endeavor to govern ourselves accordingly." GOVERNCE'S PROCLAMATION. To the People of Kansas Territory.

I have this day been shofrn a circular Duroortinsr to be "Instructions to enroll ins officers" for enrolling the Kansas Militia, and signed by one H. Lane, dated -Head Quarters Kansas Militia, Law rence, reu. johi, jojo, tiu.i a wiu-nrission issued bv the same individual ap pointing S. J. Willis "Enrolling ofiiccr of Kansas ierritory.

All these acts are il leeal, without authority ot law, anu on the rart ot J. 11. lane a usurpation oi power. The 20th section of the Organic Act declares that "the Governor shall reside within said Territory, and shall be commander-in-chief cf the Militia there of," and, "lie shall commission all officers who shall be appointed to ofhee under the laws of said Territory." There is no power in the Territory that can deprive the Governor of the authority thus vested in him, and he alone can fix the headquarters of the Kansas Militia. There is no law of Congress and coRse quently there can be none of the Territory authorising II.

It affords me great pleasure to congratulate the people on the restoration of poacc in the ToniUiVy, and I caution them a-gainst encouraging or countenancing these in sid nous attempts to renew the dtfficnl -ties and troubles which have too long held sway here. The effort seems to be to induce persons to engage in this business under a promise to them five, ooil- per uav. not one. cent or wiiic-i win ixr reaLed.

'J A Kicw Field Koa tk'k An The tenor of recent 'letters frcni seem to show that large nnnibers of Jiiss'uirians anl 'A rkansans, wit-. their slaves, are re paring lo sotile in Xeosh-.) territory, with the i-iiaiiivance of the I ml fans.

Among the CLect; a strong desire is expressed in favor of ac'niii taneo into the 'nio'ii as a Slave State. The Cherokecsare not. t-nan-iniotts 'this siilijeet but as both nations are slavchtiiders, the propagandists have taken care to exd'e their bj 'their cupidiH- A real deal of i'cchng'i's manifested regard the ir-ubjX'Ctof free ct- slave-- Stale, ami ture passed, over Gov. Denver's veto, the bilk establishing certain Banksin Kansas. Beware of their' cotes: Refuse to' accept them, if you do not want to loose your money.

The following passage is the conclusion of Gov, Den vr's veto message: Passinir br this Question ot power. I now proceed to examine the bill itself. It authorizes the banks proposed-to be created "to purchase, possess, use and sell any property, the same as individuals;" see section 1, It authorizes them, anu cieciaies thev shall have power, to use, as speccie, all sight drafts or certificates of deposits made by specie-paying banking-houses in this Territory, or in St. Louis, Chicago, Cin cinnati, Philadelphia, Boston or A ew York section 18. Section 19 provides'that "no bank at any time, suspentt or reiuse me specie of any of its notes," tfce.

By an examination of these provisions it will be seen that the proposed banks would be authorized to enter the list, in competition with individuals for the buying and selling of everything used, and ir. oavinT for the same to use bank notes, sio-M rWsifra. or cfivtificates of deposits. If specie should be demanded, they could turn to their charter and show that they "have power to use as specie" all such paper evidences of debts. There would never be any necessity for them to suspend, for the Bank cf -Leavenworth would be authorized to redeem her notes in the notes of the Bank of Lawience the" Bank of Lawrence redem hers in the bank of Wyandot t.

and the Bank of yan dot redeem hers in the Bank of Leavenworth, thus makine a continual circuit and if these banks should set tired of this circular mo tion, thev could send the noteholder Cut of the Territory by-giving him sight drafts, or certificates of deposite on Eastern banks. As these operations might, be fouwl successful, their 'circulation could be extend ed to an unlimited amount, for the capital stock being fixed first at. for each bank, it can afterwards be increased in definitely by the addition cf at a time, and thus, through the' agencies which the 27th section authorizes them to establish in every town, hamlet or neighbor hood tiiroughotit the length and breadth of the Territory, they would he enabled to' interfere in the business affairs of. every citizen, r.nd flood the country with an irredeemable and irresponsible paper currency, which they would be authorized to use "as. specie," but which could not be go.

The I2tli section provide that whenever the Directors of either Bank shall deposite with the controller an amount, of the State bonds of any interest-paying State in the Union, or of the United States, equal to $25,000, at the current rale of ti New-York Stock Exchange, tc, making no provision against receiving State or Uni ed States stock at a premium, when it is well known that a sudden revulri is sure to re -nice the current rates of value attached to such evidence of indeb'edners. and that in no event could more than the face of bonds he The 26th section embraces an at! cits pit to legi-la'e in advance fir any future State that -may he framed cut 'fhlhig 'Tenitory. bj r'ving the people at that time of the power to mr.nage their own affairs. I regard the- bill before as objee'ionabic, there f( re.

for the following reasons Firal do not think that the Governor and hf gic-h'tive Assembly have the power to batiks au'hcrize them to emit bills of credit.
