1 Leavenworth, K. T. Feb. 18, 1856. The following is the closing portion of a speech made by David R.

Atchison, at Platte City, Missouri, a week or two since. A gentleman was pres- nt, who gives the following report. Speaking of the Constitutional Convention, Atchison says: This Convention met at Topeka, and framed what they eall a Constitution, and say they interd to apply for admission into the Union. Now should Congress admit them, what will vou do I I II tell you mat i unit do, it con- i i rr gressaamiis tnem into sne union wunoui law or precedent, nodding his head and raising his right hand, I'll resist But Congress will do no such thing. They, the Free State men, nave held sn election and selected officers on the 15th of last month, and say they intend to put their work in operation on the 4th of March.

Remember the 4th of March If they cannot do it legally, they say tbey will do it by force of arms. They have sent their messengers to the North and East, who are raising money, men, arms. for that purpose. 1 u.j..

Judge Van Sicklen supported the motion. Messrs.

Pomeroy, J. 8. Adams and Benedict urged the propriety of laying a tax which would clear off the floating debt, on the ground that it is contrary to the practice of the town to hare a funded debt, that such a debt is a poor Inducement to lay before business men who may propose to establish themselves in town, and that "pay as you go" is a good maxim for towns as well as individuals. The motion was carried. The Town voted to collect the Highway Tax in money.

The fifth article of the warning "To see if the Town will sell the Poor-House and Farm, and substitute therefor a Poor and Work-House, near the village," was on motion referred to committee of five, who are to report at a future meeting of the Town, to be called by the Selectmen, if they see fit. The Town refused to give Town Constables jurisdiction of the County. The proposed alterations in School districts were referred to a committee to report at a future meeting. The Selectmen were authorised to make a contract with the Burlington Aqueduct Company for a supply of water for hydrants.to be used in case of fire. The reports of the several officers for last year, were ordered to be Considerable time was used up in balloting for men to supply the places of those who declined to serve in several offices.

What all will allow to be, on the whole, a good list, was finally chosen. The meeting adjourned at 5 o'clock, P.M The Democratic Convention of the Second District. The Democrats of the second district met at on the 22d to ohoose dele gates to the Cincinnati Convention and to have a good U. Stoughton of Windham. and Robert Harvey of Caledonia, were chosen delegates, and Tap pan Stevens of Orange, and Geo.

Washburne of Windsor substitutes. life extract from a letter to the Boston Jour nal, from the Windsor Journal officii the following account of the affair, from which it would seem that Administration Democracy is rather at a discount in the second district. This District includes the four counties of Windham, Windsor, Orange and Caledonia, containing a population of over 138,000, by tne census ot jsou. ibis town lseasily reaca ed by railroad by nearly the whole of the four counties. The day was exceedingly mud and pleasant for the season.

Ample notice ot tne meeting haa been given tnrougn the newspapers and by hand-bills. Ex-Governor Seymour of New York, and others, bad been announced as positively engaged to be here. Extra trains of cars and a band of musio were advertised. Besides all these things to facilitate and attract, one-third of New Hampshire lay alongside of the District, only separated by the Connecticut River, and had about as easy access to the place of meeting as this part of Vermont. Our Democratic neighbors in the Granite State are on the eve of an important State election, and all things contributed to assure as of an overwhelming crowd.

Well, the day arrived, and a band of musio from Bellows Falls, and one of the great guns from abroad, with a few hundred Democrats from the Connecticut The citizens of indsor and vicinity, of ail parties.but mostly anti-Administration, help swell the assembly to about five hundred. Collin Ingorsol, of Connecticut, was the only one of the orators from abroad who had been announced, although ex-Governor Hub- oara was unexpectedly coiled on ana maae a few remarks. The mooting was organized by calling Hon. J. P.

Kidder of Randolph to the chair, and after the usual preliminaries, the Convention adjourned to the Baptist Church. Alter partaking or an excellent ainner at the Windsor which was altogether the beat cart of the exercises, the Convention met at the Church. The Hon. Speaker from Connecticut was introduced. He commenced his address in a verv hanrjv manner, lie complimented the soil ana climate of Vermont as congenial to democracy, bat wholly omitted to tell his audience what alow and wretched growth his kind of democracy had found, and wbat a noxious weed it was here considered to be.

He was making a passing al.usion to old Federalism, antagosistieal to bis sort of democracy, wnen ex-uovernor Hubbard of New Hampshire was announced. The ex Governor haa a renutetion in this region of having been an early apostle of Federalism, and his entrance Into tne nouse just as the speaker, was reminding the audi- enoe ot what ederalism was. was provoaiog- ly inopportune to the spurious democracy of our times, Dot amusing enougn to tne two hundred representatives of the genuine democracy, such as prexails among our green hills. The orator snoke at length against the nrincinles and practice of the Know Nothings, and made some well timed remarks on their nroscrintive policy towards Catho lics and persons of foreign birth.

5, 1856. Tfce Enlistment Difficulty with England. The attempt of the English Government to enlist eoldiOs in the fruited States for the Eastern war, and the prompt check pat by the United State to the proceeding, the pub lic are quite familiar with. Of course the matter led to" along diplomatic correspondence, most or all of has been recently pub liebed in suras of the large journals, and is exciting a good deal of It ia altogether too long for our columns. We can give, bat a brief notice of the chief points of V'nder date of June 9tb 1855, Mr.

Marcy, Secretary State, writes to the Ameri can Minister at London, Mr. Buchanan, that the enlistment of, soldiers for the British ar mr was eoint on in our country. He is told to brine the matter to the notice of her Ma jesty's Government and that the U. S. Gov ernment expects such illegal acts to be disa vowed and" the offender punjshed.

Mr. Buchanan does so. The British Government said a slop had been pat to it, Mr. Marcy again 'says it has been kept up and Insists on a stop and a reparation. July 1G, 185a, Lord Clarendon says any infringement of the IT.

S. laws whs contrary to the wishes and in structions of his Government admits that recruiting bad been done, but says it Was not authorised. 5, 1855, Mr. Marcy shows tltat the Eiglish Minister at Washington, Mr. Crampton, was concerned in the bust nes.

Lord Clarendon gets a littlo huffy- says the U. S. Government hunted up evi dence in an unhandsome way, and that the eitiseos of the United States have sent arms and stores to Russia. Mr, Marcy says, as to that, the Americans had sold arms and stores to "Great Britain also both in conformity with international law, and that all that had nothing to do with the case in A removal of Mr. Crampton is Insisted on or his walking papers wilt be given to him Under what seems to be a rather unfair re presentation of the main points of the cor respondenee, by Lord almerstoh to Parlia-inent, '-fc great fume is raised there, at the alleged unreasonable demands ol par Government.

'But the publication of the corres pondence shows the duplicity of the English functionaries in so plain light, that the end of it all must he a justification of our Gov- mment both at home and abroad unless indeed it may be faulted for not promptly telling Mr. Crampton to go home, ia the time of it. Ho will probably have to' quit at all events. As for any bloody and costly quarrel growing outojf the matter, nobody supposes it possible.
