The subjoined letter of the Hon. Rob-

lVAsHIx‘aro.\*, Feb. 20, 1858.
Austin H. Brown, Esq, Chairman,
&.c.—Sz'r : Your letter in behalf of the
Committee, inviting. me to address the
' mass meeting of_ the Democracy of Indi-
ana on the 23d of this mouth, of: Indian-
apolis, has been received. It would have
given me sincere pleasure to have complied
with your request, but on the 24th of this
month one_of my most important cases,
now pending in the Supreme Court.of the
United States, is set ‘down for argument,
and [cannot be absent on that occasion.
The power of Congress to admit new
various periods, been fully discussed by
me. The power of admission most clearly
implies the previous consent of the people
of the inchoate State, not only by the
-very terms, but as required by the funda-
mental principles of ourGovernment.-—-
Indeed, I presume it will hardly be con-
tended thut Congress possesses any power
to force the people of a State into the
Union against their will. The Union is
composed of 9. coufederacy of coequal
States into the Union has heretofore, at’
were pledges given by me in good faith,
and any abandonment of them now on
my part-, after the’ people had accepted
and acted upon them, would be to cover
mysclf with-infamy and dishonor. VVhat-
ever, then, may be the action of the wu-
vering, timid, or corrupt menace and pro-
scription have no terrors for me. I will
continue to tread the path where cousci--
ence and dut-y call me", regardless of all
consequences or sacrifices, personal and
political. ,
But were the case now exempt from
these pledges and their consequences, is
it true that the people, in framing is state
Constitution, are only to decide. the Sla-
very question ? Has it come to this,
that the people in their sovereignty are
to decide only the destiny "of such_ Afri-
cans asmny be in their limits, and not
upon all those far greuter which concern
the rights, life, liberty, property and hop-
piness of n free people? Has the Afri-
can become so elevated above the free
men of the Union that they, in their sov-
ereigu capacity. may not decide upon all
that concerns their own Government, but
only upon the fate of that sable race that
may be within their I boundaries? And
is it true that people in inchoate Free
States can neither ratify nor reject any
part of their State Constitution, but that
this can be done in inchoate Slave States
ouly,_and then only as regards this one
particular institution? The Kansas and
‘Nebraska bill declares it to be “ the true
intent and meaning of the act to leave
the people thereof perfectly free to form
and regulate their domestic institutions in
their own way, subject only to the Con-
secoud year of our independence, or is it
the first year of American: Jl'Io'na'rc}zy, that
is now (lawniug upon us?
Let the people—-let the masses com-
posing the true Democrucy——ar0use from
their slumbers. Let them break the
chains which would fetter their free
thought and free opinion, and assert their
blood-bought rights, and especially the
great indefensible sovereign right of ,
self-government.
We have fallen upon evil times; the
liberties of the country are in danger.-
Let the people in every town, county, and
State rise in their majesty to the rescue.
Let the-timid or corrupt falter as they
may ; let-the Democracy of Indiana, now
in mass meeting assembled, proclaim. in
tones that shall echo throughout our Re-
pu_blic,_that the spirit of the. Revolution
is not e\'t.inct in thei: .bosoms, but that
from the lakes of the North to the lovely
valleys of the Wabash and Ohio. you", the
Democracy of Indiana, will stand as one
undaunted column by ‘the great principle
of popular sovereignty sustained by them
at the polls in 1356, ‘as embodied inthc
submission of the Constitution. for ratifi-
cation or rejection by the unfettered vote
of the people of‘Knnsas and of every oth-
er. Territory. 0
Thanking you for the kind manner in
which the Committee, through you, have"
been pleased to speak of my humble ser-
vices in behalf of the ‘ great Democratic
doctrine of State and popular sovereign-
ty, I am, most respectfully, your fellow-
citizen,
R. J. WALKER.

LETTER mo): A PICKPOCKET ro His VIC-
Life for Life. ,
“Father, is there no hope for him ‘I--
Is, the British General so heartless as to
condemn one so noble, so brave, so young
to die without mercy?”
These words were used by a pale, tent-
ful girl of great beauty, in the middle por-
t..cu of the Revolution which gave
freedom a home on our own loved
soil. During tlmt period hfifilglty
was but too prevalent wit oth
parties-and tories, American-born, were
if possible, more relentless and cruel than
the British troops.
The father, a noble looking man of
middle age, turned a glance out of the
window which opened towards Long Is-
land Sound, the green waters of which
could be seen sparkling beyond a grove
that fronted his dweling near Hurl Gate.
-He turned to this to hide from_her his
emotions, fur she was his only child, and
he feared that her young heart would
break when he told her all the sad news
that lay so heavily on his heart. _
“Speak, father, tell me; is there no
hope? I--will go my self, and, kneeling
to the tyrant, -will plead for lif'e'.0f him
whom. I love us only woman can love !”
she continued. . ——
“ Alus I my clllld, mercy is dead in the
British Gener_al’s breast—hls heart is cal-
lous to pityl I have risked much by
pleading for him, but for your sake would
be almost willing to die in Nsulmn’s place.”
“Cruel, cruel fatel When is he to
die? There may be some hope of his res-
cue. He was a favorite with Washing-
ton, and he is at; White Plains. I will
go to him.”

For a molncul: the poor girl stood
silent-; not a tear came from her eyes ;
but a wild light illuminated them ; aflash
as bright as fire itselfgnthcrcd over both
sovereiguties, and each must have freely
entered into the Federal compact. By
the people of in State, under our Federal
Constitution, is always intended the ma-
jority of that people. The people of a
State, in entering into the Union, always
indicate their previous assent by the
adoption of 0. State Constitution. '
My own opinion as heretofore often
expressed, distinctly repeated in my let-
ter of acceptance of the Governorship of
Kansas, and reiterated in my lllallgllffll
gr'aW']' stitution of the United States.” Now,
the President in his December message
admits that the term ‘'people,’’ as _ here
used meuns,whut it says, the people them-
selves in their sovereign capacity (as con-
trudisbiuguisbed from conventions) in vo-
ting for or against the ratification of a
State Constitlulon. But: ’ he says the‘
terms " domestic inst.it.utions,” in the plu-
ml, means only one institution, namely,
that of Slavery. But the terms “ 'rncm
domestic institut.ions” most clearly include

The Shadows in the Valley.
There's a ll. mos.-‘y, shady valley,
Where the wafers wind and flow,
And the duisies sleep in winter,
‘.\'¢-nth a cuverlid of snow ;
And violets, blue eyed violets.
Bloom in beauty in the Spring,
And the suubenms kiss the wavelets,
Till they seem to laugh and slug.
But in Autumn, when the sunlight
Crowns the cedar covered hill,
Shadows durken in the valley,
Shadows ominous and still ;
And the yellow leaves, like banners
Of an Elfin host thut'.~l fled,
Tiuged with gold and royal purple,
’futter sadly overhead.
And those shadows, gloomy shadows,
Like dun phantoms on the ground,
Stretch their dreary k-uglh forever,
(la 9. daisy covered mound ;
And I loved her, yes, I loved her.
But lhc uugels loved list too,
So =he’s sleeping in the valley,
-‘.\’t~:‘.lh the sky 50 bright and blue.
And no slab of pnllid marble
Bears its white and ghastly head, -
Telling wander-=.-rs in. the valley
Of the virtues of the dead ;
Bu‘. 2| lily is her tombstone,
Alida dew-drop pure and bright,
Is the epitaph an angel ‘
Wrote in the stillness of the night.
And Pm mpuruiul, very mournful,
For my soul docs ever crave
For the fading of the shadows
From that little woodland grave ;
For the memory of the loved one,
From my soul will ne'er depart,
And those slladmvs in the valley,
Dim the sunshine of my heart.

MISCELLANY.
3%“ '_l,‘l__1i_aj exquisite ballad, constructed
by'IIobcrt Burns out of a difl_'e.rent and
somewhat exceptionuble lyric, has always
left somethuig to be wished for and re-
gretted: it is not complete. But who
would venture to add to a song of Burns?
As Burns left. it, it runs thus :_
John .-lndersop, ;,I_y Q9. John,
\\'S,-.-;; we were first acquaint,
Your looks werelike the raven. Juhn,
Your bonnie brow was breut ;
But nowyour brow is bull, John,
Your locks are like the snow ;
B-at blessings on your frusty pow, -
John Anderson, rny jr).

And mony B car.ly day, John,
We’ve had wi’ aue nmlher ;
Now we maun tottel-‘_dnwn John,
But hand in hand we_’ll go,»
And sleep luglfher at the foot,
John Anderson, my jo.
Fine as this is it does uqt quite satisfy
a, contez_2,lp‘,:1tiYc ‘mind ; when one has
gone so fair, he looks end longs for some-
thing morc—so_meLhiug beyond the foot
of-the hill. Many :1 reader of Burns
must have felt this ; agd it is quite prob-
able that many have attempted to supply
the deficiency ;but we know of _o,u,ly._c~_v,;c
success in so ll:iz_al"-,),o',‘,s gin e3perlmc‘ut.—-

_uddress, was t.1L1t the assent of the
people to their Constitution can
only be properly asccrlai-/ml by (L tlircctpop-
u.la.r rate for or against its arlcplion In-
deed in what other way can it ever be
known that the people would have assent-
cd to the Constitution unless they are
permitted to vote for or against its adop-
tion? The Prcsidcnt, in-his message of
December last, admit-s this must be done
as 1'egu1'(ls the question of Slavery as reg-
ulated by a State Constitution, although
he concedes that his instructions to me as
regards the submission of the Constitu-
tion were “ general and unqualified.” It
is most unforlsunute that such an opinion
had remained so long dormant in the
breast of the president, for if the slightest.
suggestion to that effect had been made"
to me, it is quite evidenl: from my life
long opinions on this very point, so often
and distinctly expressed, repeated in my
letter of acceptance of the Governorship
of Kansas, and reiterated in my inaugu-
urul address, that on such conditions I
never would have gone to Kansas.
It is true that the Pl'ESl(l8ill'-,l_l1 his mes-
sage, most frankly concedes, not only that.
his instructions to me as regards the sub-
mission of the Constitution were “gene-
ral and unqualified” but also that he then
suppoed that the Constipation itself
would have been submitted to the vote
of -the people, and that in his judgment
this ought to have been done. But-, nev-
ertheless, nis message of December last,
to my surprise and astonishment, first dc-
velopcd the astounding fuel; that the
President considered tlml‘. nothing‘ but
the Slavery question required to be sub-
mitted lo the-vote of the people. I do
not mean to charge the Chief Magistrate
of our country with, wilful deception on
this question, but this I do say, as indi-
cated by my life long opinions published
again and again, repeated in my letter of
acceptance, reiterated in -my iuau:.:r.rul
address and various di-spotclies, that the
Pre:s¢q'g.:.;5 and 0.31 his (jribi-rzet qccll /l-xzzmc

me, was a vital question, euvjqlviug the

sas. ' , ’ ' ' ' .
It was with extreme reluctance, and
accompanied by great sacrifices, und af-
ter rcpeutecl refusals, thutl at length did
consent to go to K.xus:1s,, but upon p,o_
other terms would have g_c,n,e. thuzi upon
those above iudiczlfecl ; cad if the Presi-
;l_e;;‘_. had stated to me that the Slavery
question only was required to be submit.-
tedhto the vote of the people, he very
well knows, and all his Cabinet wcll lacow
and all my friends who conferred with
me at that date know, that. on such cen-
(litious I never wou_lil lguvc gone to Kan-
sas. ‘
' in. my ad ulnistration of the affairs of
Kansas, always communicated from first;
to last to the P _ sl(len_t~, I faithfully car-
ried out these views as regards the sub-
mission of the Constitution to the votcof
the people, and by these menus, *,l,x_c
President frankly zidu.»_i',..-1 iu his lute Kun-
sas LIe.,s,s_,:l,-gc, prevented a. sa1_n;uinul‘y rev-
oifut.iQutllerc1nJuue last. The Revolu-
tion would have covered Kansas with
blood and desolation ; it would have been
marked by nll those horrors whish ever
accompany civil war, which mu-t,,l.av_c
extended to bordering States and ’l,‘er.'i2i-
tories, and involved, but ‘lo-3" probably,

the President and all his Cabinet. They
them all, because extending in words and
letter to all the '1‘erritorics of the Union,
whether bond or free‘. The Presdent re-
gards this Kansas and Nebraska bill as
an enabling act, enabling whom, or what,
or how ? Why, enabling the people to
form and regulate their domestic institu-
tions through :1 State Constitution. The
word “fair-:2" is here significant. “"110-
ever spoke of forming the institution of
Slavery? This word mos; clearly im-
plies the form’ng ofu State Constitution,
and it'll; does not mean this it is not an
enabling act, for that is the great‘ object.
and purpose of such an act. These words
then, do enable the people to frame a
State Constitution, and by which alone
they shall form and regulate their institu-
tions ; and the I’resi(lcnt conce<_.lcs that
the word .“ people” as here used, means
as itsays, the people tlicuisclvcs, as con-
trudistinguished from Conventions, by. a
direct vote for ratification or rejection.
This, their, being an enabling act, an
act, as construed by the President, cur.-
bllng the people to frame their own coa-
stitution, this term, the people, cannot
have two iuterprctatiuns,'one meaning the
people themselves, and another, also, as
the President insists conventions only.——
No: these words, the people, in that acts,
have but one signification, as applicable
to all their domestic institutions, and if it
can never be interpreted to mean, as the
President would construe it, in what he
culls an enabling act, the people so far as
regards the question of Slavery, and con-
ventione only, as regards all other sub-
jects. No; this great act, declaratory
upon its very face, was intended to recog-
nize the right of self-government. in its
broadest and most comprcllousive sense
as vested in the people tl: znsclves, ex-
tending to all their domestic instiuitions,
in rutlfyir.g and rc~jectiug their State Con-
stitutions, whose provisions could only be
known and acted on by them when sub-
mitted for their decision by the Conven-
tion. And thus it was that the Iiuusas
and Nebraska bill was in recognition of
that great lhndumentul principle of pub-
lic liberty, ClillJ0.Cll%(l in the Federal Con-
stitution, rcserviug ull’sovercigut.y to the
people of the several States, admitted or
inclloute, and not us vested, in conventions

Such is the f.!.'i1.e’ :-r,eaniug- of the term

NEW Youk, Jun, 5, 1858.
Dr. Clnrles H. I{obert.s—Deu_r Sir : I
had the pleasure of relieving you" of your
pocket book on the evcxiing of the 2nd,
in a crowd ut the Academy of .\lusiL'.——
I presume you soon became aware of your
dispossession, und have laud perhaps some
anxiety as to the application of the funds
it contained. You have my assurance
that they have fallen into appreciative
hands, and that every cent. will be ap-
plied in g1'atil'ying the tastes and fancies
of :1" follow l‘.-ciug whose ambition soars
liiglier than his calling. You need not.
flutter yourself with the idr-.2. that you
have my acquaintance because I favor
you with my corx'r.=sp0_mlence; no Doctor,
divest. yourself‘ of that ambition.
I w.lite you-in accordance with the law
of honor among thieves, and to dc you
the justice of returning to you the two
enclosed pieces of pom-1'\\'liicb are of val-
ue to you and worthless to me,—onc be-
ing a note payable to your ord«:r, and
the other a. formula for making teeth--
neither of which can ever be available
to me, as my present employment proba-
bly pays better, and is at business ‘more
pleasing to my tastes. From the date of
the note I concluded that you had been if:
town several . days, which may account
for the lightness of your purse. N
doctor, 9. proper respect for gentlemen of
my calling should never allow your purse
to become so low ; it is hardly up to the
nverngc of usual collections. ,
Then, I have reason to pz‘_0test- against.
gentlemen of your standing carrying‘ un-
curreut money. It is under serious con-
sideration to return to you the $5 on
Morris County Bank J. which I find
at considerable discount ; the six lives on
the l‘ox:glil<eepsie bunks go current, and
the few smaller bills can be easily dis-
p()S('.(l of by a. person of ray balms, From
the name and recipe which I found in the
pocket lmuk, I conclude that you are the
well known dentist who long since did
me much ::c1'rivcc iu your line of business,
while pursuing my avccuziuu in Fough-
keepsie. ~
Now, Doctor, r.lou’t consider it New
York hospitality to extrac-S purses in re-
turn‘ for extracting éeeth, but lemcmber
that all l3.u'x‘e so do something for a living.
yuu were following your uvocatlcn on me,
ourll was only doing the same on you
when you visited our eit_v——und this case
:v
H,
affords a fair example of the couiparutire ,
profits of our business. You spent much
tiuie and received :1 sluull ft-c, mine \va3
an operation of e, l;\,<)m,eut.. ‘Vixen I con-
sider this gl_i;9e»'z.'€-11c-e, aur.l"l'ne gentle man-
uer with which you attended to me, I am
quite iucl".e-d to return your purse and
contents, but tllat would be unprofession-
al, uud beside, would involve a. loss of
lime on my'part, for suchcrowds claiill eu-
cur every day, even in New You‘-l-:;, butibe
assured, that. 0 had I rec-ogniuecl you I
would lmvc ap, us the time appropriated
to yuu upon some other person.
The only 1'93:-‘ox: I can ascribe for not.
l‘eu1L-mbcl-lug you is, that I never saw you
but once before, and I presume that when
you come to the city you drcssuplz‘. your
bcst, and look very clill'el'r.*-nti tlmn when
attending to _vou_r husiuesszit home. This

She turned nnd left. the room, while the
father still stood looking from the window
out upon the waters, which were dashed
with u raising storm, and the trees,‘ which
already begun to writllc beneath the force
of the rising gale, like some huge giant
wrestling wllll some unforeseen power.
Meuilwllilc his duuglltcr had gone up
to her room in one of the cheerful gables
of the old-fusliiouedhouse; and forget.-
tmg to pray in the mad tumult of her
wrung heart, was not wilder than the
lumult in her own hezzrt,
I~"i-om her elevated position she could
look over the tree-top.-‘ und the clouds, us
like u battling host mawslnuled to the
charge, and-sulplmrous flames uud_smoke,
they rose cud spread uthwurt the sky.-
She could see the 6.-«.lr.lyiug of Ilurl (hie,
tossing with whirls the fo-.un cups, white
as drifting snow, in the air—thc breakers
tumbling up aguinst‘ the black rocks, as
if they would hide tllclr dangers from the
bold mariner’s view.
Suddenly the sound of a cunnou- was
heard, and as she looked upon the Sound
she szuv that a. ship of-war had hove to
above the narrow g01'gc ufthe G21-tc. A.
sigiml for :1 pilot was flying at the fore-
lop, and the hated cross of St. George
flew from the spa:-.kel' gu .
\\"ich one wild cry of fir.-1'ce'delight.
the fair girl bounded from the room.
“Life for Lil‘c—;\'utlluu llale shall be '

brother, who had long; since been laid in.-
der the sod ; and to this room she tied,
and sum was zwruyecl in a suit of such
clothing as the young men gguerally wear
when they go on at boating expedition.-
Without the l-eustllc-statioix she cut the
long trt-."-ses of hair from her heud,'aud in
it brief‘ period horcthc appearance of any
young inch of ciglueen, not more than her
age. ’ Having made these arrangements
with :1. rapidity that only at dcspex-ale re-
solve could cause, she instantly lxft. the
housc, passing down ihe avenue, before
her f:1raer’s, be llttc thinking the appu-
rcntl_\' spruce young waterznun_, who chose
to breast such a storm, was the person of
his ‘accomplished duu5_§l1ter.
Hurryingulown lo :1 boat-llouse,whi;-l1
fronted the avenue, she loosened one of
lhose small, light. sliiifs which are still the
models of the pilots at llurl Gate, liolstell
u smzxllsuil, and in a. few moments was
out upon the last‘.~of the flood tides as»
freely and boldly as il' she had been in is
stouhship, instead of so frail and small a.
boat. It was no new thing for her to be
upon the water, l)cing reared so close to
it, and hundreds of tinius llflil she been
dashing over those waves, but never in
such {I gale as that. Yet coolly she
steered her tiny craft, avoiding the dung-
erous whirlpools and hearling t0\\‘lll‘(l:' the
frigate which imp-uticnt for :1 pilot, bad
all'eu‘1l_v fired another gun.
Within less than twenty mimltes from
the time she started, she bud lulled clona-
sidc of the uzcu-of-xvur, having c-uugllt ‘ilui
