This paper is started by several gentlemen aas.tcl
tied with K. N. Garvin, P*q , whom wo know to 1
he admirably qualified, f-om intelligence and influ '
ence, to make a first class paper. Mr. Garvin was '
formerly a member >f the Legislature, and his popularity
is such that he can at nny time resume the
position. His associate*, if not equally well known '
beyond the IVistriet, are none the less fitted to give
sueeess to this enterprise. We hope the Wulhnll.a

which it takes its name.

KANSAS?IIKR CONVENTION.
Some of the Southern paper* liavo taken alarm
a! words introduced by Hon. K. 1*. Stanton, Secretary
of the Territory, into an nddreoa to the people
of K >tn i", when lie assumed tho exercise of the
fuuctiona of Governor ad interim. In that address
lie announced that when the Convention had famed
n Constitution for the nascent State, he entertained
no doubt but it wouat provide for obtaining a fair
expression of public opinion upou the instrument
before presenting it to Congress for approval, and
before the admission of Kansas as a State.
On the I2tli instant, at a banquet givou to IIou.
Id. 4. Walker, Governor of the Territory, at the
Astor House, New York, then 011 the use o( departure
for Kansas, sentiments almost identically
tho Min?, but stronger ill olHoial and personal do
termination, were expressed by h'.ni on that jvuut.
He looks to a census of the inhabitants, before such
Constitution, thus fram.nl, s' nil bo considered as
the voice of the pe iple o! Kansas, and prior to tip
plication to Congress for admission into the Confederacy.
As this course would afford ainplo time
to rush in free soil emigrants, to serve a special <>ccasiou,
we nre at no loss to perceive how rcaddy
the whole face of things might be changed in the
political condition of Katis is.
We have some knowledge of Mr. Walker's political
anlcccd uts, and tho tenacity of his labors for
the integrity of the country and the rights of the
South. It wn* to him we were indebted, to a very
considerable extent, for the in isterly parliamentary
tactics by which the joint resolution for the acquisiion
of Tex is whs passed through the Senate. To
liiin utso do the South owe tho tariff of 18-1G and
the able report on free trade, which was reprinted
[lV (if ills' fIritiaili l^irliiimnnl n.t.l Iwouinn tlis*
basis of her relaxation of the corn law restrictions,
ami llio subsequent modifications of lu r revenue and
navigation systems. Iii his statesmanship Mr.
Walker has over shown a comprehensiveness of
forecast, totally irrcconeiUable with the supposition
that by nay ccecntiic operation of interest he can
bo guilty of treason to that portion of the ITnion
which has pointed to him as a champion and exj>onont,
and of whom she has ever been proud, and in
whom she has ever revised measureless confidence.
lint suppose Mr. Walker should exert his official
and personal influence to have the Constitution
so formed submitted to a vote of the people, at n
time stib-eijueut to its adoption by the Convention
and after a census shall have been taken?that body
is in nowise bound to respond to his wishes. Congress
has solemnly declared (and the doctrine has
been most cordially sanctioned lit the North! that,
when tho people assemble in their sovereign capacity
to frame a Constitution, then they may de
termine fur thetnselres the nature of their institution?,
and no Federal Governor has aright to constrain
their freedom of action. For if tho whole
federal authority is inhibited from such exercise of
power, of course a mere governor, whose functions
are about to expire, can show no color of right to interfere.
Besides, this course of procedure would ho unu
sua], The people are sovereign, and their sovereignty
is embodied in the convention. Whatever
constitution they digest becomes fundamental law
by the net of the people thus represented. This
principle is well undetstood, and was recognised ill
ihe law of Congress admitting Aik/msas into tho
Union, in lite preamble to the net:
" Whereon the people of the Territory of Arkansas
did, nil (lie 3<MIt day of January, in the present
year, by a contention of delegate*," &o.
The principle was recognised by tbo same authority
in the case of Michigan, on a question of
tiouudttry necessary of determination prior to complete
admission. Her assent to the indicated boundary
was demanded through a "convention of delegates,
elected by the people"- -and that assent by the
people, through a convention, being had, on proclamation
of the President she was admitted. The same
teas true of Iowa and Florida, and probably of nil
the new States except Wisconsin, whose Constitution
wna required to be submitted to a vote of the
icople as a condition precedent to admission. For
bis drparture from what was customary and unibrtn
there must have been special reasons, connected
with adjustment of boundaries with Michigan,
Missouri, and [umii.
There will be neither justice nor propriety in this
(Tort to defeat the objects of the |K-oplu of Kansas

and if Mr. Walker, or Mr. Any body-else, ,
itlenipts it, the administration will find itst-ll held

KIClLBftBCKC DECLARATION ANNIVERSARY.
A correspondent of tho Columbia South Carolinian
gives the following fucts connected with the
celebration of tho anniversary of tho oo'ebrntcd
Mecklenburg Ileclnration of Independence and the
speech of He*. Dr. Iluwkee, ou the 20th inct., nt
Charlotte, North Carolina:
Tho morning of the ever memorable 20th of May
dawned beautifully bright, but probably colder than
it has ever been on that duy during nil the eightytwo
years w hich have elapsed aince the brave band
ol patriots appended titer unacs to wbat, tor all
that they could tell, was like y to prove tluir own
death-warrant. The rising sun w * welcomed by a

Having reached tlio spacious grove of the Presbyterian
Church, bright with a huge eon course of
lovely Indus, tlio procession approached ilie stand
in inverted order, and after a b 'ml of inusio Iroin

prayer by the K?v. D. Lncey, D. D., LL. 1),
Cell. Young then introduced the Hon. Mr. Ueborre
Hvudo', who altera short but eloquent preface.
read in a pecul.nrly happy style the "M<-ck*
h-nburg I >eclaration of liidepcndeiioo ol the illilli
May, 1775." The assembly was again regaled
with soil music, and the President of the day, Hon.
Frederick Nash, Chief Justice ol North Carolina,
introduced tho Oraior of tlio Day, Rev. F. L.
Hawkes, D. D., LL.D., of New York. Tlnsd stiuguished
divine, iu an able and eloquent address
of three hours and n halfs duration, lully sustained
the reputation ho lias won for tulcnt and oratorical
powers. In a few feeling remarks, he claimed
North Carolina as his native Stale, and tho lifo

gunge of the captive Isrne'iles, "If I forget thee, O
Jerusalem, may my right linml forget her cunning."
More than once lie moved a portion or his audiota e
to tears. He then entered into u de?uil of the historical
bearings of the subject; how his owu reseurelies
hud traced the battle of Ix-xingtou every
mile of the way from New Jersey to Charlotte; how J
the lion-hearted sons of old Mecklenburg had ossein
bit d at the Court House, on the reception of the :
tidings, and scorning the taint and penalty of trru (
son, bohlly declared llicinselves independent of ;
Great liiitain and of the worhl. Tin-, it will be
remembered, was more than a year before Congress
declared for freedom; and the paper here promulgated
was undoubtedly the model on which
Jefferson framed the Declaration of July 4, 1776.
In an able and well sustained argument, the speaker
then utterly falsified and refuted the trail seers who
have, with n semhlnnce of truth, denied the existence
of the Declaration. Those who heard the
Oration, will ever remember Dr. llawkes, as an
able and accomplished orator, and a piofuuud student
of Ameriean history. Alter llie oration, the i
meeting adjourned to the public square, where j
some patriotic hand had liung ont the venerated
emblem of old Mecklenburg, an immense "hornet's
nest." tastefully decorated with ribbons.
At 4 o'clock we all proceeded to the depot,
where a most sumptuous dinner leu! been prepared,
by Messrs. Young & Williams, of the Mansion
House. There were threw immense tables, groaning
beneath every delicacv which the most fastidious
taste could desire, and wine and champagne
was in abundance. It lias never been our fortune
to sit nt n pubhc dinner where there was more order
and decorum. We did not see a sing'e ease of i
intoxication After dinner, the regular tousts were |
read, and rcs|K>iidcd to by Messrs. liigg-, If rag g,
Osborne, Sway no and Karringer, of North C-iroh
na, and by Mr. W. Id. Wilson,of York, S. C. We
left the dining risim uiiinl the thundering of artil- !
lory, for sun-set was tile signal fur a salute (pardon !
the nllitaration} of thirty-one guns, and thus closed
the festivities of the day.
Tine Pai.mkttom.?At the bnnquel attending
the recent celebraliuu in Columbia Col. Keilt wan
called out by a toast. During Ins remaiks lie related
that Hon. Preston S. Brooks, at the time of
his death, was having prepared a signet ting to
commemorate an incident that happened to his
younger brother at the battle of Churubusco, Mexico.
It is us follows;
"Wlo-n another regunetil fled, and ail the hor- j

comrades?when Shields said 'who will follow in?,'
and llutlrr said '*? will'?Brooks, ye#, llio strip
ling Brooks, cried out, 'yea, all will follow you to
tho death'?and he did. The faiii? hall which
pierced his body shivered his inu?ket?and a slnvered
musket was to adorn the signet, with the
motto gatts tneruuge. When thin brother left
home, Brooks told hint his father said to his old
body servant, 'go with him, and take cure of him ?
1 confide inv not) to you.' How did the good old
negro act? when the baptism of blood was going on
?when perils were lingering around?when the
hot ignition of stratagem was everywhere?with
none to watch the wouuded boy but tins old servant,
lie was at his labor of love, taking care of his charge.

murders, or presumed murders, in New York, has
become so alarming, and the authorities are so supine
or indilfcrcut to the duty of ferret ting out their
perpetrators, that private citizens arc perforce compelled
to come before the public with rewards for
detection. Dr. Brandrcth offers to l?e one of thirty
to give a rcwar 1 of $1,000 each for the discovery
of the murderers of Dr. Harvey Hurdell. The
Times and llcruhi oiler alike sum of $5,000 each
for tho same pur|K>*e. The editor of the Herald then
enumerates 11 murders, wluwe authors are unknown,
for whose detection he offers $5,000 each;
and adds $1,000 each fur iutormalioii of the whereabout*
uf three other persona whoharediioppeant),
and whose fate is unknown. The Ilerald offers a
gratuity of :j7,at>0 to any country lawyer who will
come to New York and clear the dockets of the
criminal courts. Wo aru sorry to be constrained to
believe that these offer* are nioro for |R-reonnl notoriety
than public justice, but they serve to show a
condition ol society shocking tu contemplate, and to
uull lor thankfulness that we live m a land where
deeds of violence nre rare, and whet c the laws arc
administered with promptness an 1 efficiency.

Washington, May 12.?Nothing is to lie done
in regard to the extinct Dallas Treaty. The President
declined the offer for a renewed negotiation in
regard to the Kav Islands question, which was the
sticking point with the British Government. There
was iio correspondence between Mr. Dull.is and j
Dud Clarendon ' s to tlie objections of the Kritish
Government to the amended treaty, but merely a
conversation, in which the latter str.ted, in general
terms, that they could not assent to the amendment
relative to the Kay Islands. It is well known, that
neither the Senate nor the present Administration
would have assented to the Treaty without the
modification proposed by Mr. Jefferson Davis, which
rendered the transfer ol the liny Islands to Honduras
absolute nnd unconditional. Nothing short of
an eiit re relinquishment ol those Inlands i>y Great
Britain will satisfy this Government.
Tin* Administration has not Ins tated upon this
question, mi.I tti -y delerilMied at ouee, and j-calivo
ly, to ills'ut U|isi the im.oIiuctioti of the I Dtytoa- '
Kulwcr Treat/ wtiich Uiis Government had heretofore
assumed.
It is not intruded to abrogate the Cloy ton-Bui wer
Treaty, but to insi-t upon our interpretation <>f
it, which will exclude Great Brit.mi from the Buy
Islands.
Before the commencement of the next session of
Congress, ov. u:> and public opinion may indicate to t
the (Executive Government n proper course on the
subject; and then it hi iv Ik proposed either to annul
the Clayton llulwer Treaty, or to enter into a
supplementary convention in regard to it, in conformity
with our views.
The President stales, in conversation, that lie i*
much pr-so?l by applications for Diplomatic and '
Consular oiTi,. ?v There are but twelve first class'
mission*, nnd lor these, as lie states, there are two '
hundretl applications. South Carolina is to have 1
one first class ni.tonon. Col. Kicliaidson, of Illinois, i
must have something, And will take nothing less
than a first elites mission. OiIi?t Western and ,
nearly all the Southern States present candidate* j
for these posts. Meanwhile, no one of the mcumb
nt*, except Gov. Vroom,.-it Berlin, and Gol.Sey- I
ui'jur, jii ni. i iii?? m^ii u?'?i a m
to return home. Mr. Mumiii wishes l -remain auoliter
year in l*?n*. Ii in nut intended to recall Mr. J
Foraylit from Mexico, nor Mr. Dallas from Kng- j
land, at present. It is surmised that, s.x month* j
hence, Mr. Uobcrt .1. Walker may succeed Mr.
Da'las at Lnnilnii, especially if anything; in t< he
done in regard to a tn.-w treaty concerning Central '

Tub Acquisition or Cuba.?A Washington
correspondent furnishes tlio New York Herald |
with the following, which that p; per calle "curious,
unique, original, yet consistent and credible newi."
Hardly any one will doubt i s originality, but of its
credibility there may bo n question:
Jn thin view, the paramount movement upon tho
Cabinet comprehends a most interesting and unique
plun for the acquisition of Cubit?a plan embracing
the active co operation of Kngland, France
and Spain, upon the most moderate terms, without
any fuss or trouble, and within the limit of Mr. Buchanan's
term of four years. Purchase is this plan,
and tho Ostcnd valuation of $120,000,000 is the
ruin. Under Mr. Polk, Mr. Buchanan, aa Secretary
of State, olT-red the sum of 100,000,000, and
it is thought now that an advance of twenty per
rent, will be a satirfa*loiy margin of Allowance for
the increased valuo of the island.
Next conn s the uiodut operandi, worthy the fltinncinl
genius of the reigning house of Israel. The
lluthchilds aro to bo intrusted with the practical
business of this great arrangement; and their first
requisition will be the appointment of a member of
thiir tribe and their liuanciul family?Mr. August
Belmont? as Minister to Spain. Co-ordinate
with, or rather subordinate to, Belmont, a new minister
will next be required at each ol the Courts of
St. Cloud, St. James, St. Petersburg and St. Peter.
\Ve say St. Peter, because the influence of Home
over Madrid must not be overlooked. In the meantime,
Mr. Belmont has been making the lour of
Italy, and will come round, via Spain, to Paris and
Londoti, to take the necessary soundings.
Thirdly, it is sup|H>sed that the distribution of
the money will embrace thirty millions u> the Rothschilds
for the purjKise of their financial negotiations
at Madrid and among the Spanish railroad stock
jobbers ol I>ondoit, Ao., thirty millions to the Spanish
treasury; thirty millions among the ?|>eiidthrirt
royal Spanish family, including Queen Christina
aud her dependeuts, Queen Isabella and her favorites
nnd courtiers, nnd others whose iufluence over
the S|umish Cabinet and Cortes is worth considering.
The oilier thirty millions to be disbursed
among the financiers and stock jobbers of the Court
of Napo'eon tho Third, who aro always ready for ]
'"tho n onish."
The Britirh government, it is expected, in view |
of tho payment of tier heavy claims upon Spain,
will be satisfied with n chance at the thirty millions !
which are to go into tho Spanish treasury. The !
price f.?r Cuba, as thus proposed, is the same as that |
fixed at Ostcnd by Messrs. Buchanan, Mason and i
Sonic; but it is free from the Ostcnd alternative ol 1
"wresting the islniel from Spain because we have the ,
power." When the Cabinet shall have selected its I
list of Kuropean diplomats, you will be enabled to per |
ceive the practical bearings of this magnificent programme
in reference to the Cabinet policy of Mr.
Buchanan. His great ambition is the purchase of
the island of Cuba, and if ha can buy it on reasonable
terms he will buy it?that's certain. To this
end. look out for the appointment of Mr. Belmont !

IIurricanr ?On Thursday evening last, (lie
southern portion ol Anson County, with adjo-nmg
port ion* <>( this District, were v mi ted by a viornt
hurricane and ll'lil storm. In some places the hail
covered the ground, destroying entirely the young
crops. In many places, wttlHR the path ol the hurricane,
the trees were either snapped off or torn up
by the root*, mid the roads so blocked up an to prevent
traveling. We have heard of Do l.ms of life,
though of some miraeuloos escapes. One was a
negro belonging to Uen. dames Gillespie, of Marlboro'.
Upon llie approach of the tornado, he at
tempted to get shelter with Ins mule ntid cart in a
stable. .1 ust belore be reached the door, a large
oak was torn up by the ruota and thrown directly
upon the negro, mule and cart. To a spectator, the
destruction of all was inevitable. The tree, however,
was forked, and the negro and mule escaped
with but little hurt, while the cart was a complete
wreck.
Since writing the above, we understand the hurricane
mid hail storm were much more extensive
than we then supposed. We have heard from js?rtions
of l*ni< n County, N. C , the adjoining portions
of Anson, und the western part of this District,
in nil of which it was very destructive to the timber
and crops.?Cherate Oatetle, May 20.
Governor R.J. Walker arrived in t??wu on Tuesday,
on his way to Kansas. He was present at a
dinner party given to lum by his fr-end Mr Kohnstamm,
at the Aster House, mid tm.k occasion to
make s ch ar and t xphoi s.atement of the principles
which would govern li s administration in the
Territory, lie <U-elur>d hm fixed determination to
do everything in Ins power to secure for the people
of the Territory a full, fri*e and unbiased v?>lc upon
the Constitution which might be offered tor their
adoption. He believed tins to bo their light?tl
right guaranteed t? them by the fundamental law
of the Territory, and by the Constitution of the
United States, and he should cotistd* r it not only a
point of law and of official duty, hut n point of lionor
a- a man and a gentleman, to ro everything iu
hm power to secure them such 11 vote. AH the other
questions winch hud created dissension in the Territory
he considered merely preliminary to this?
and if this wiT" properly adjusted, lie believed all
dissension in the Territory would cease. TheGov- I
ernor's rutnuiks were received with great favor I
He remains in tliis city only a day or two, and will ,
depart immediately for Kansas.
