Preliminary Movements at the Consti- tutional Convention. Speech of Gen. John Calhoun, President of the Convention. Our limited time and space (forbid a detailed account, this week, of thejfroceediBgs of Constitutional Convention, therefore, to merely glance at what has ben don, except to give in full the" Presi-" dents speech. Th Convention assembled at Lecompton, Mondav the 7tb inst pursuant to Dr.

B. was celled to the Chair temporari-lv. Sami. (4. Reid was invited -tw act ar Secretarv, until a permanent organization, but declined, expecting to be absent a part of th time.

Thos. C. Hughes accepted the seat as Secretary, and Jas. H. Nounand, asst.

Sec. The roll being called, 45 members were present. A committee was ap- ponted to examne into credentials. They have reported in favor of the 60 numbers who have certificates from the Secretary. Sine that time, a delegation of 2 fiop Anderson county, tas presented itself W.

ad-miss'on. Thy bring a certificate from the Secretary that the Census returns were not sent in from that county until after the apportionment, but in every respect thqir el 'ct'on was regular. It is believed the Convention will adopt ns liberal a policy in this case as they have the power to do. A resolution was pi oposed to refer the matter to a select committee to be reported upon, Tried. A committee w.asalso appo'ntcd to report rules for the government of the Convention.

The members have drawn fo- seats. They were sworn to support the Constitution of the United States, and the Organic Act of the Territory. Rev, Mr. McGee, of Lecompton, has been appointed Chaplain. Tho officers of the Convention arc a President, President pro-tom, Secretary, and Assistant Secretary, Report- pose of sink'ng it rapidly, with a strain upon it, to the bottom, and was then cast into the sea, drawing after it a sufficient quantity of slack to enable it to take holt of the ground and so set the machinery in motson.

The paying out then commenced, mt the rate of two, three, and fout knots an hour respect wely. The ship was then stopped, and the caple was hauled up from the bottom, of the sea with great facility, by. connecting the small engine to the- driving pin-ibn geared to the sheaves. hen the end was brought up to the surface, it was found that the shell had broken away fiom the loop, by which it had been fastened for thpuipose of flowering it. The cable, when was found to have be cleadLas biightly as the.8pcci-mens which have been so freely distributed among the friends of the enterpiise, and wh ch are so greatly known.

The exterior: coating of. tar Kad been completely rubbed off by being drawn thi ough the sandy bottom of the sea, and attach to the non coating of the1' cable were some weeds and several small crabs which came up to the sui face. Un the following day, 'a 'length' of cable was lun out and hauled in with perfect success, opposite the Isle of Wright, attached to an anchor. t1 The speed was increased in thiy ease to fille knots. -a During the afternoon of 'the same' day a length was lun out, having fastened to the end of it a log-of timber; and after: having been towed with a mile and a half of cable was po.led in again with suecess.

On Wednesday, about half way between the Lands End and the coast of Ireland, another length was run out at the rate of six and a half knots per hour, and subsequently hauled in. The Agamemnon then steered for cork, and reached Queenstown Harbor at 4 oclock on Thursday morning, all on board being more than ever satisfied at the success of the entei prise. borne highly successful experiments were also at the same time pertormed with an electrical log invented by Mr. C. Bright, for the pui pose of continually ascerting, with accuracy, the rate at which the ships are uling, and thereby of enabling him to give corresponding dinctions as to the rate of paying the cable so as to prevent the possibility of any unnecessary strain being put upon it.

ThO log is suspended the sea from, the ships quarter bya line, carry in" within jt a wire insulated by gutta peielni which is in connection with, a batteiy and electfo-mftgnet contained within amindicat-ing instrument on deck, i Tins ao arranged that at each revolution of the whiel below, an electric current is broken, by the deuect.onof a magnet, whieh foims part of the circuit, a step-by-skp movement is communicated to a register which indicates the distance lun and rate made by the and two- Meason- Trassiopper Convention The late Black Republican Convention at that place, have concluded to vote at the coming election, have done "this, on the supposition that Gov. Walker, is' King of Kansas, anc whatever lie rules must be done. They do not seem to know that a Governor is as copmletely subservient to law as the humblest individual in the country. Gov. Walkers saying a voter at this election will not have to pay a tax, amounts to just nothing at all, He is put here as the mere instrument of law, and not to arbitrate it, lie may that the law does not require a tax qual Scat i on, and use what little influence hi may possess, to have it so decided by competent judicial tribunals.

That is all he dare do. One of the greatest evils attending these difficulties, is the impression made upon the mind of every Governor who is sent here, as well as the public, th it ho his power to do anything; th it he alor.e of all men living, is the man to harmonize elements that always have been and always will be at war with each, other. Talk about conciliating Democracy and Monarchy or.Aristocracy Isnt it too nonsensical to think about? We had just as well go to work to harmonize Englahd and the United States, at once. Indeed, it ould be more reasonable. That is the identical civilized woi Id that is so, often referred to by the Abolitionists, agreeing with them, and rojoieing over Democratic difeat in our country.

Who have been tbe great movers in this Abolition monstrosity in Engl ind and the United States Why, the whole history of the times tells us, they are the very men it ho have always opposed popul ir rights! Dr. Johnson In Engl md, and Seward and Gid-din os, of the United States, have alwajs agreed in the', opposition to negro iuferi-O'ity and in in.intaining for Parliament, and foi Congress unlimited power over white n. The example on this point are almost innumerable. These are only given because of th ir piom'n nce. Well these aristocrats ive really ide a great many people be-lieveth-y were phiknthiopists Democrats! When wh te men loam that they are the slaves of those veiy men, who are al holding up to view a distorted "picture of negio 8unitude? This is only done to turn the.

attention of theso poor doluded wh'te ople fiom tluir own chiins to the imagiuaiy wiongs of Slavery. The Black Ri publ ms also appointed a comm ttee to wut on Gov. Walker, and tender him the mid of the Abolition litia to protect the ballot box. Was the like of impu lenco ever known? Thepirty who fiist invaded the ballot box in Kansas, and got defeated, thm, set up regular opposition, not only to the laws of Kansas but the United States now have the uublushng effi outery to come to the rescue of tho Governor against themselves, and offer him aimed assistance! But further, they agree to be at the polls in sufficient strength to enquire the reason, if any voto is refused, and to fo.ee the Judges of the election their own demands. These are the men who me so -solicitous for the purity of tho ballot box so peaceable and law-abiding! But this is not all yet, that they are going to do.

They must have a new apportionment to suit their views. Well, no doubt they will accomplish all theso objects, just as they have done heretofore by threatening, and blowing, and backin'g down in the face of the world against every position they have taken. Now, after a long two years shrieks for freedom, bleeding Kansas, death and destruction to the Missourians had bogus laws, they have agreed that they haye been wrong all this time, and that 'the Democrats of the Territory have been fight. What consistency! what stultification! what perjury what principle courseTof the "States of theUnloniWe meet here to day under extraordinary circumstances, and I trust that every member of this Convention has come here to day to discharge his fully impressed with the high responsibilities that attach to him, and, with their importance not only to Kansas, but to the Union of which we propose to become a member. A Constitution wisely framed, and properly, fairly and honestly approved by the true citizens of Kansas, will settle all the difficulties that surround us, and have been surrounding us, and will at once restore harmony to the Union'.

I may remark here," without perhaps doing iniustice to the feelings of any honest and true lover of his country, that, the formation of such a Constitution prostrates and crushes to earth a party that is seeking every means within its power to obtain ascendency, even at the sacrifice of Union, itself. It is not merely Kansas, it is the Union that is iThis Convention is not merely the interest of the people here, but thro-out the Republic. One. of the greatest issues to be solved by this Convention, is, whether the people of this Territory shall have power to control its government. To make a Cpnsiitution is but a small a single principle Will be embraced in the Constitution to be framed, during this session that has not been already implanted in other Constitutions.

The old original Constitutions of the Americ in States, contained some errors which ive since been corrected by the popular sentiment and wherever old Constitutions have been revised and altered, or new Constitutions framed, they have liad expressed In th an the princ'pl that the people have the right, and sh ill elect, not merely Governors and Presid. nts and the various officei th it are usu illy el ected by tbe people, but, also, Judges. These improvements ive been made w.th'n thql.jst qu liter of a ooituiy, and arc ex pressed not only in the Const tut ons of such of the old St ites as ive Id Contentions within that time, but, alijo, in. those of the new Statss that come into the Un on. There are, therefore, no new piinc.ples to be decided in these Conventions to frame Constitutions.

But tho pi ople of urns assume the right to settle their local questions for jhemsuvea, and it is thit whch produoos the difficulties not merely in Kansas, but throughout the Union. This difficulty must bo settled lay your deliberations. I think th it the character of tho members of this Convention over wh ch I luve th. honor to preside, ought to give the world the assurance that their deliberations Will result, not merely in the setilenn lit of difficulties here, but in the settlement of the question as to whether this Union sh ill continue, and as to whether that irty whch is employing its time, pnd its treasure to keep this an open question till the next Presidential contest, will stand or fll. If the Union stand, th it party goes by the board.

If that party triumphs, this Union cannot live. Tho high, and responsible duty therefore devolves upon us, to take in our hands, the Organic Act of this Territory, and, acting upon its principles, to present to the Congress of the United States a Constitution, framed in such a manner, and having such an endorsement as that we may not merely petition for admission to tho Union but demand that shall be admitted. I trust that wise counsels will prevail here. I am confident from my knowledge of this Convention that such will be the case, There may be excitement of feeling. There may bepartioujar points on which individual members will plant themselves, but still, I trust that every member of this Convention will bring to, bear in the judgement of all issues that may be presented, that calm, sober deliberation, becoming statesmen who have met together to found a government who have met together to i lay tho foundations on which a great poople shall hive to rest.

I am fully confident that you will be, and are fitted to tho occasion and Gentlemen, I can give'you the assurance that in all your nctiomthat will be just and pioper to Kansas, proper and right to tho principles of the Government under which wo live, and which look to the prosperity of Kansas ahd the preservation of thj- you shall have my full, hearty and honest co-operation: I again tender to you mv th ink for tho honor which you hive con- ferred on me for, I deem it a higher honor to stand here to-d ly the presiding officer of this Convention, thm to fill any other posi-' tion th it the Amerio 'ople could confer aow silly is all this talk about passing laws to keep men owning nogi'oes. It does he negro a great injury, for he is nowhere else so well off. It does his master an injury, because it is an assumption ou the part of those who oppose the kind of property he prefers, that they know better thanhe, his own interest, and the interest of one it is his interest to take care of. But these are our views. There are those who may just as honestly hold a different opinion.

They think it is wrong or impolitic for the laws to recognize slavery. Of these there are two classes. The Aboli-t'onists and the Democrats. The former think it is such a gross violation of right, as to overthrow the sovereignty of the people, in order to get rid of it. They are willing to enslave white men, for negroes.

They are willing to establish an aristocracy or monarchy on tho ruins of Democratic institutions. They are willing to do all this, for the sake of getting the reins of Government in their own hands. Thw are willing to equalize themselves wth th negroes, that they may get domin' on over ih-ir follow citizens. The latter think that slavery is wrong or impolitic. They it is a master upon which theremay be a difference of opinion.

They believe th it the freedom or slavery of negroes, has to do with sovereignty. They hold that sover-e'gnty belongs to white men. And they are willing to abide by the will of the majority in a State Constitution, whether thit constitution agrees with their views or not. This is the Democratic doctrine, and p-nctice. It is sound and good.

We will co-operate with all such men on that principle. We differ with them on the question of policy or right, in the matter, but agree with tlrm on the way it should be settled. This then is Thosewho are in favor of it, should snstain the Note Book, that it may aid in sust.iin:ng thrir principles. Principle should not be trifled with. They should be sustained in 'tv ty possible way.

This is a duty whieh no man can shake off. Let our friends then all over the country, get up little clubs for us, invari ibly sending the money. A little done in this way, would make them feel better, and ike us do t-ter for them and our great cause. Thoao owing for subscription, would confer agreat favor if they would foiward the first $2,00 thny get. Our expenses are very avy and they are putting us to serious trouble.

Young America." This is the name of a neat little pper just started at Leavenwo-th City, by Geo. McLave. Politic illy, it ofss-s to bo independent of all parties in exist nca, onlv awaiting the resurrect'on of the Whig a-tv to become its champion. Grantng this hop sine-re, it is very vain. Th it irtv is sunk to rise no more.

It has given plaea to its legitimate suec 'ssor, Abolition. Thos members of tho party under its old name and life, whoso patriotism is superior to party names and prejudice, are fist attaching themselves to the Dmocriicy, as the only-party thus ir, which has p- oved tru a to its object, and true to the country. Thre are those persons again, who claim to bo the veterans of a purer battle th-n th it now going on between Democracy and Black Republicanism. Such, claim to go for men, and not measures. But, strange to say, it newly always so h-ppens thit tho personal ivorites of such rsons are not Democ.

ats. Among this class, place th; editor of the Young America. We hope we do h'm no injustice, judging only fiom his specira copy before us. lie writes a funny letter to President Buchanan, taking due pains to cast as many reflections on the U. S.

officers of the Territory as possible. His innuendoes are of a similar character against the laws, Convention, lie writes letters to Gov. Ransom, and th it aspiring, imitating bird, Mr. Parrott, wish'ng to know whether th are for free Kansas, or slave Kansas. The former gives no answer, not considering that the issue.

The latter answers to the point ho is unqualifiedly for free Kansas. lie, when asked so frequently how he expects to vote, answers; for Marcus J. Parrott, s'riethj 'upon the ground of personll friendship and that alone. Young America iv be very, in-dep mdent in politics, but these things look like he is very subservient to th Black Republicans. It is mighty hard to h'de that tale, cover it with ns much fun and piofos-s ons of ind p-ndcncens you choose.

Ro-MtOB. FRIENDS I The Note Book is "pendant upon you-efforts for success. However well we miy do our part, thoat yern do youro, itcannot maintain its position as an ind nd -nt Democratic piper. But ws areas sensible of its short-comings as it is possible for you to be. These short-comings, however, are as much attributable to the np ithy of our friends, as to any other ciuse.

Who can discharge th duties of an editor as he should, when born down all the wh'le with moneyed difficulties? It makes the brain sick and heavy. The untiring, buoyancy of spirit so essential to the editor, cannot be kept up. Few persons regard these things as they should. If our princ'ples are worth contending for at all, they Bhould be advocated with zeal. Individual effort is the life and strength of a cause.

Without this, defeat is certain. Our enimies are active. They are at work at all times and places. Can we expect to counteract their movements by a supine indifference to the instruments by which we must attain our end Certainly not. Then go to work.

Let every one feel as if he, aside from every body else, has an interest at stake, which, that far, he will trust to no one. There is a responsibility resting on every American citizen which he cannot throw off, if he so desired. Every man is one of the great pillows of State. There is a debt of gratitude due from every one of us, for the great blessings we enjoy under our free institutions. That duty is to perpetuate these institutions, the last hope of the people on earth.

The instrument of greatest influence on the tendency of Government, is the newspaper press. It may bo said to rule the world. The great mass of the people hive no time to read anythin? else. They get most of their information from this source. Then how important it is that this source should bo pt pure, or how bitter will be the stream th it flows from it.

American institutions rest on the supposition that patriotism is superior to passion and disorganization. But how idle is this supposition, if the friends of our country lie idle, and allo traitors to completely pervert the mind of the people from naturo and honesty and truth, to tho artificial, the corrupt and the false. Democracy is the child of the natural. Its object is to harmonize Natures law and mans law to make the latter follow the model which an Infinite Wisdom has set for its guidance. It is a practical thing.

It simply seeks to adapt politic il lights to natural rights. Political rights are intended to secure natural rights not to destroy th-on. For to destroy them, is to become a tyrant over nature, over truth, over right, over law, over God, if possible. lie is the concentration of all these. That is the best Government which secures the most good to every race and class in its midst.

The white race has alone shown itself capable of srif-gov-eminent. It has alone shown itself ip able of governing others. It as aintained the ascendency over all oth races, the world over. No other race has risen to a lev with it. To force a political equ tlity in such a case, is monstrous.

To ike a law giving tho negro equal political rights with the white man, is to ike th socially and morally equal. Why? Because political rights secure naturx rights, and to givoan inferior and superior race equilitv, is to make them naturally equ il. But this is a lie upon Nature. It revolts at it. It pun-nishes those who carry it out, by making them mongrels.

The negro is everywhere shown himself incap iblc of self-government. It degrades the higher to the lower race. Is this mere thoory at Central and South Amorica, Jamaica, and St. Domingo. There the white and the black have amalgamated, have violated naturo, have produced a mongrel race of beings scarcely superior to the brute.

There ia freedom for you. It is the duty of Government then to adapt its provisions to suit the race to whom it may apply. Then the negro should be governed. Heshouldbe made to fill his place iu nature. IIo should be made useful.

He ehould be placed under the guardianship of the whito man, whore he has always been found of a higher intelligence and bettor off than any where else. Then this is the place for him, whenever it is to tho mutu il interest of himself and master, this is a matter to be determined by the master alone. When it is to the interest of one, it is to the interest of the othor. If tho negro is not profitable to the master, it is net to tho interest of the negro to bo hold in that situation for his master cannot afford to satisfy his wants as if he made moro by him. er, gers and a Dooi-Iveep r.

The officers elect, are General, John Calhoun, Presid nt Hugh M. Moore, President pro. principal and assistant Secretaries, Thos. C. Hughes and Jas.

H. Nou-n-n Reporter, P. C. Cary, Sergeant-at-Arms, Sami. Cramerj Door-Keeper and Messengers, James Cook, Wm.

uiforth, James Nelson. The most interesting matter connected with the organization was the election of a President. At first th to were five whose nam-s were used by their friends Gen. John Calhoun, Judge Rush Elmore, IIuehM. Moore, Lucien J.

Eastin and Daniel Vanderslicc. Some of the indidates had been actively engaged traveling and writing all over the Territory for 2 months, electioneering. The friends of Gm. Calhoun and Mr. Mooro funding that neither could bo elected, if each persisted in his claims, made a compromise, uniting up on the former gentleman for President, and the latter, for President pro.

tcm. General Calhoun was put in nomination by Judge G. W. McKown in substance as follows Mr. Chairman I put in nomin ition for President of the Convention, a gentleman who has ever been distinguished in Kansas, and out of it in the State of Illinois, for unflinching devotion to Democracy, and unwavering opposition tou Abolitionism in its strong hold th it gentleman is Gen.

John Calhoun. Judge Elmore was; then nominated by mil. G. Reid, who arose and said Mr. Chairman 1 desire in rising, pimply, to put in nomin ition the name of Judge It 4 Elmore, of Shawnee County, for Pres-Id nt of the Mr.

Daniel Van-derJice was very appioprialely nominated by Mr. Thomas J. Key. Mr. Vnnderslice very respectfully declined the nomination, and put Gen.

Lucicn Eastin in nomina tion, who arose and made a very appropriate speech, saying that lie never been a Candidate and if his name had been used, it was by his friends without his solicitation hut that if hs friends chose to confer such an honor on him ngainst his consent to be-corno a candidate, he could only pccept it as a mark of their friendsh'p. The vote was thentiken and stood as follows; John Calhoun, 27 Rush' Elmore, 12 Lueien J. Eastin, 6. Tw nty-three being necessary to an elec-' n. Calhoun having received 27, was dared du elected President of tho Convention.

111 A Committee of throe was selected' to condubt him to the Chur, whn hr took tho stmd and addressed tho Convention. 1 1 I i (J i i Tha Presidents Speech. Gentlemen: For the very flattering, ox-prossion of your sentiments in odnforring on me the office of President of this Convention, you have my profound acknowledgements.

I know well that it will be utterly impossible for mo to perform tho duties of the office to wh.ch I ive been called, unless I hivo th hearty oo-oporgtion of tho friends ound about mo. To fulfil theso duties to tho extent of my ability, I wiJlj-it is al-most unnecessary for mo to say, exert my u. most efforts. Indeed, you have the ns-tiurancu of thit in the fact of my having do-e ptud the position Conferred on mo. meeting of a Convention to frame the Constitution of a new State, is, under ordi-n try cirourastanocs, a' mattor of no groat utprest.

Our readers will remember one Henrv Boyntons note, and some resolutions jpurpoxjing to have come from the citizens of Big Springs and vicinity, in the Note Book was denounced for articles which hud appeared in its columns, derogatory to Capt. Henry Boyntons character.

Boynton first demanded a retraction of us, based upon the resolutions, and then referred, us 'to Mr. Richard Realf of Lawrence, in case we did not come to tei ms. It will bo seen, that My. Realf denies having consented to become the arbiter between Boynton and ourself, as was represented in Boyntons note. So, it appears we have Mr.
