The Indiana Repudircan State CoavewtlOß. Some self styled Republicans have gathered themselves together at Indianapolis, and called a mass meeting to be held on the 4th of March next, iaviting all who oppose th-e Lecompton constitution of ail parties, to attend. They have become indignant and alarmed at the attemp to force Kansas into the Union as a slave State, contrary to the wishes of a vast majority ofl.er citizens This .satrap to catch guis. Let no Demo era', be chea’ed by these impostors. They are repsonsible for lbw effort to force Kansas into the Union. Through the counsel and advice of parts in the tree States, .heir friends in Kansas have taken no hand in the government of the Territory. They have stood off and si reiked over a a minority making law for the majority, it wa, a result they produced themselves, for political effect; and now desire to use .

the capital they have manufactured bv their own political eraft. They wan; Kansas taken in as a alave State—forced into the Union, as they term it. I: is the political effects they are after. They want to bend up Biack Republicanism m ii e free States. The lime has come, they 3 ti ink. They saw the feeling at the late Democratic Convention, and concluded : at i: ere were * pporiur.ilie-s he hope the Black Republican their sppropriete response. The present difficulty in Kansas is the work of this same Republican party. —

They have designed it and brought it about for party end*. Follow their lead, and there is no telling into what political infamy one may be led. They are not c-pposed to fore'ng Kansas into the Union as a Slave State - T.-.ev want ::.e Democratic party to do the act. If they honestly felt anv distress over slavery in Kan-. «a< they would hasten Kansa» into the Union with anv sort of Constitution —slavery or no slavery. Slavery will remain in Kansas as r’as it remain* a territory. 3 • It ean’t be abolished until Kansas becomes a State. As soon as the State is admitted into ice Union, slavery esn be abolished in a few weeks or months if the Free State majority is ‘vast,’ as they claim it t be, and as we bolieve it is.— If these Republicans, then, oppose the immediate admis-ion of Kansas in the Union, they oppo-e the immediate obviition of slavery there, contrary, to their loud professions. We hope Democrats in Indiara undestand this; and that they will act accordingly. Let them stick to their old friends; and set them right. There is but little danger of Kansas being forced into the Union with a Constitution repudiated by her people. The thing can’t be done however much it is threatened. The Black Republicans have set this maie for the Democratic party; but the latter are not. green enough, we Lope, at last, to be caught in it. The Democrats of Indiana have taken the true ground, and let them stick to it: Retolved, That we are still in favor of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, and that by a practical application of that doctrine, the people of a State or of a Territory are vested with the right of rarfyingor rrj-ct-! ingany Constitution that may be formed tor them. This is a sound, republican Democratic and safe course; right in all cases, and indi-pen'able in that of Kansas.—Louieedit Democrat. The Jiiagra Falls Tragedy.

ton letter writter says a question of etiquette has arisen in that city which prevented certain ladies of senatorial dignity from attending the New Year’s eve ball given by Lord and lady Napier. It seems that the ladies sf the diplomatic corps require that the wives of Senators should render the first visits, while the latter insist that they themselves should fir- receive them, their position being, according to our etiquette, the highest. A tribunal sufficiently elevated to decide such | a question we are afraid our country cannot afford.

Now the attempts ia to be made to resurrect themselves —to gain politics] power under some oib.eis guise; but while they may change ia tame, their nature and designs remains the same. To secure their ends they will ‘steal the livery of heaven so ®et ve the devil in.’ The Democracy of

Indiana will not ba cnuglit with any such chaff. When you see such names as Hollowav. Sol. Meredith, Calvin Fletcher, E. W. H.Ellis, J. D. Defrees and Company, the people will be satisfied that with a great show and prefession of virtue there is not a paucle of grace. It is to be a Re-publican" Convention. And what is Republicanism? The platform of the great Republican party, as adopted at Philadelphia and made the issue between the parties in the Presiden- , tial campaign, says: Resolved That the Constiulion confers upon Congress sovereign power over the Territories of the United States for their government, and that in the exercise of this power it is both the right and duty of Congress to proh.bit in the Territories i those twin relics of barbarism, polygamy and slavery. Here the dogma of Congressional sovereignty is most distinctly asserted. It is a most unequivocal declaration against the power and right of the people to con trul their domestic institutions. Republicanism is upon the record against populer sovereignty and distinc'ly in favor ot Congressional intervention and dictation , Can the people expect to find any sympathy lor the doctrine.® of non intervention ’or popular sovereignty in such a partv? If they now forsake their platform it *.-> but an admission that the principles enunciate ! by the Democracy, and which tbe Republicans asserted last year to be most damnable, are correct, just and proper. It is a most inglorious abandonment of Republicanism. They forsake the C>>nsliiuiioa in assuming new grounds, for they solemnly declared in 'heir Philadelphia platform, which the R-pul'l; ,n pr~ss uud speakers ecliOdd ail U'»ei <->untry, ‘that the Constitution conn rs upon t ongress sovereign power over the Territories,’ and that Congress sLonld prohibit therein slavery. And for what do these doughty knight.®, who fought so fiercely for Congressional despotism and

Office.— That is it, they lust after political power. The object of this • Republican’ no party ■ Convention is ‘for the porpuse of forming a State ticket in opposition to the one nominated oti the Bth inst.’ The valiant Republicans cowardly give up their Con gressional sovereignty—don the east off i clothing of the Democracy—an old trick —for pure love of the ‘flesh pots,’ the - 'loaves and fishes ’ Their principle have' lhat extent, no more.

They state that the troops are all in winter quarters at Fort Bridger, except Coook’s command, which is forty miles distant, where a scant supply of grass remained. The troops were comfortably stationed. The weather was very mild, and good health prevailed. The provisions on hand were sufficient to last till the 1st of Jure, Two-thirds of the animals, however, were dead.

It was reported that the Mormons were preparing to leave for the British possessions and that pioneer parties had already left. Young had sent a quantity of salt to Colonel Johnson, and the latter replied that he would hang any messenger from. the same quarter on a similar errand.— Young had also sent an invitation to the United States officers to partake of winter hospitalities at Salt Lake City. It is stated that Colonel Johnson feels assured that the Mormons will leave in the spring. Colonel Cumming had issued a proclamation declaring the Territory in a state of rebellion; that the trial of the Mormon leaders will be the first course he will pursue; this failing, he will resort to military force. He commands all armed bodies to immediately disband and return to their homes. ———<>——— How should a husband speak to a scolding wife? My dear, I love you <still>.

Tke President ® Message on Aicaraguan A flair? and the arrest of Walker. In response to a call of the Senate, the President tr&Mmitted the correspondence in relation to the arrest of Genera! Walker, and accompanied with the following message; MESSAGE. In submitting to'i.e Senate the papers for which Hey hare called, I deem it proper to make a few tbservaHons. In ca f .-,nrmg General Walker and his command, atu-r they had landed «>n the soil o! Nicaragua, Commodore Paul' . ■ has, ia my opinion, committed a grave error. It is quite evident, how ever, ti om the communications herewith trans milted that this was done from pure and patriotic motives, and in the sincere conviction that lie was promoting the interests and vindicating the honor of his country. Li reward to Nicaragua. ®he has sustained no injury by the act of Commodore Pauld-

ing. This has enured to her benefit, and relieved her from a dreaded inavasion.— She alone would have any right to complain of the violation of her territory; and it is quite certain that si e will never exercise this right. I: unquestionably does not lie in the mouth of t er invaders to complain in Her name that she has been rescued by Commodore Paulding from their assaults. The error of this * gallant officer consists in exceeding his in- • truetions, and iandii-gsailors and marines ’ in Nicaragua, whether with or without her 1 consent, for the purpose of making war

upon any military force whateve which . be might find in the country, no matter from whence they came. Thi- power cer - tainlv did not belong to him. Obedience ; to law and conformity to instructions are ■ tbe best and safest guides for all officers, civil and military, and when they transcend these limits and act upon their own personal responsibility, evil consequences aimostinevitabiy follow. Under these circumstances, when Marshal Ryndtrs presented himself al the State Department on the 29,h ult , with General Walker in custody, the Secretary informed him that the executive depart-1 meut of tne government did not recognize General Walker as a priso er; that it had no directions to give concerning him; and I that it is ouly through the action of the judiciary that lie could be lawfully held ; in custody to answer any charges that wight be brought against him. In thus far disapproving the conduct of Commodore Paulding, no inference , must be drawn that 1 am less determined than I have ever been to execute the Neutrality laws of the United State®. Tfiiis my imperative duty, and I shall con- , tinue to perform it by all the means winch Ute Constitution and the Laws have plac. d in my power. Whether the executive government possesses any, or wl at power, under the Constitution, inrt* pen dt ndy of Congress, io prevent or punish this and similar of-1 tenses against the law of nations, was a | subject that engaged 'he attent on of our! most eminent statesmen in the time of the ' administration of Gen. Washington, and I on the occasion of the French Revolution. ■ The act of Congress of the 5.1 June, 1794 ' t'oriuna.ciy removed all ti e diffi‘-ulfies on I roi® qnes'ir.n which had therefore existed ' Tne slu and 7th sections of inis act. win i relate to the present question, are the ' same in substance with the 6 h and 8:h sections of the act of April 20th, 1818. and have now been in force fora period

jt more than sixty years. My opinion of >he value and importance of these laws corresponds entirely with that expressed by Mr. Monroe in his Mes- | sage to Congress of December 7, 1816, That wise, prudent and patriotic Statesman says: ’ll is ol the highest importance to our national character and indispensable to the mortality of our citizens, that , all violations of our neutrality should he i prevented. No door should be left open , lor the evasion of our laws, no opportu- i ; nity afforded to any who mar be disposed :to tak“ advantage of it to comoromit the 1 interest or the honor of the nation. I he crime of se.ting on foot or providing the means for a military expedition within the United States to make war against a foreign Slate with which we are at peace, is one of an aggravated and i | dangerous character, and early engaged i tut attention of Congress The military expedition rendered crim- ' inal br the act must have its origin, must' ‘begin’ or be ‘set on foot,’ in the United States; but the great object of the law was to jave foreign Slates with whom we 1 are at peace from the ravages of these 1 lawless expeditions proceeding from our shores. The seventh section alone, therefore, which simply defines the crime and its punishment, would have been inade- ‘ quale to accomplish this purpose and entorce our international duties In order to render t:.e law effectual, it was necessary to prevent ‘the carrying on’ of such expeditions to their consummation af'er they had succeeded in leaving our shores. 1 his has been done effectually, and in' clear and explicit language, bv the au-1 • thority given to the President under the Bth section of the Act to employ the land , and naval forces of the United States ‘for i the purpose of preventing and carrying I on of any such expedetion or enterprise i from the Territories or jurisdiction of the ; United Stales against the Territories or domain of any foreign prince or State, t or of any colony, district or people with - whom the United Slates are at peace. For these reasons, had Commodore Paulding intercepted the steamer ‘Fash-, . jii, with General Walker and his command on board, at any pet tod before they er.'.cred ths port of San Juan de Nica-

tragna, and ccnduated them back to M ■ bile, this would have prevented from ‘carrying on’the expedition '.!? Lave been not only a justifiable buj praiseworthy act. “ * The crime well deserves tbe severe rn ishment inflicted upon it by our laws r" violates the principles of Cbristian't mortality, and humanity held sacred h’’ all civilized nations, and by none nthan by the people of the United Sta'/' Disguisd it as we may, such a miliar' <xp<d.fion is an invitation to reckless® a *>»s men to enlist under the banner/ any adventurer to rob, plunder and toBr ° der the unoffending citizens of nei 2 ;L, ' ing States who have never done n, harm. It is a usnrpa'ion of the warn), king power which belongs alone to Co n gress and the government itself, at in the estimation of the world, bi-ci me s an accomplice in tbe commission of tl ■ crime, unless it adopts all the means r,tc-

essary to prevent and to punish it would be tar better, and more j n accord ancewith the bold and manly charact-r of our countrymen, for the goternnient it. self to get up such expeditions than to allow them to proceed-tinder the commas of irresponsible adventurers. We could then, at least, exercise some control over our own agents, and prevent them ftu ra burning down cities and commuting other acts of enormity of which we have read The avowed principle which lies at tLa foundation of the law of nations is contained in the Divide command lhat 'all things whatsoever ye would that men

should do to you, do ye even so to them.’ Tried by this unerring rule, we should be severly condemned if we shall not use our best exertions to arrest such expedi. ttons against our feeble sister Republic of Nicaragua. One thing is very certain, lhat people never existed who would call any other nation tuastricter account than we should ourselves, for tolerating law. less expeditions from their shores totnake war upon any portion of our territoriei. By tolerating such expeditions, we shall soon lose the high character which we have enjoyed ever since the days of Washington, for the faithful perlormanct of our international obligations and duties, and inspire distrust against us ameng 1 the members of the great familv of civil- ! ized nations. But if motives of dutv were not sufficient to restrain us from ensarinflinsreh lawless enterprises, our evident interest ought to dictate this policy. These expeditions are the most effectual mode of retarding American progre®.-; although to promote this is the avowed object oi the leaders and contributors in such undertakings. It is beyond qupstion the destiny of our race to spread themselves over the continent of North America, and this at no distant day, shoul.l events he led to take their natural course. The tide of emigration will flow to the Souih, and nothing can eventually arrest its progi ress. If permitted to g • there peacefully, [Central America will soon contain an ?.merican population, which will confer . blessings and benefits as well upon the ! natives as their respective governments. Liberty, under the restraint of law, will preserve domestic peace; whilst the ditferent tiansit routes across the Isthmus, : wlitc" we are so deeply infested, will i i-ave assured protection. N -.ing has retarded this happy condition of affairs so much as the unlawful expeditions which have been fitted out nt the United States to make war upon th*

Central American Slates Had ooe-half of the number of American citizens who have miserable peri-hed in the first disasI trous expedition of Gen. Walker settled in Nicaragua as peaceful emigrants, the object which we all desire would ere this have been, in a great degree, accomplished. These- expeditions have caused the I people of the Central American Stales to regard us with dread and suspicion. B iis our true policy to remove this appre--1 hen-ion and convince them that we imend 'to do them good, and not evil. W e de’sire as the leading power on ibis continent i to open, and, if need be, to protect every transit route across, the Isthmus, not only for our own benefit, but that of the world, and thus open a free access to Central America, and throug h it to our ■ Pacific possessions. . This policy was commenced under a ’ vorable auspices, when the expedition, under command of Gen Walker, escape from our Territories and proceeded to Punta Arenas. Should another exp'd l -lion of a similar character again e' a L 'the vigilence of our officers and P racee to Nicaragua, this would be a fata < least for a season, to the peaceful setl * rnent of these countries and to the P olic f of American progress. The truth is ■ ’ no administration can successfully con '- 1 the foreign affairs of the country in * trai America, or anywhere else, it lt be interfered with at every Step by » less military expeditions ‘set on the United States. - JAMES BUCHANAN.
