The Union again quotes the clear-headed speech of Senator Morris, of Ohio, in 1836, on the admission of Arkansas into the Union, to chow the inconsistency of the North upon the Missouri restriction question; and urges, with proof, that while the Northern Know Nothings are disfrarchising and seeking to inake politi- cal slaves of whites, they are tlso striving to elevate the negroes to social and political equality. The Intelligencer does not belicve a word of Kossuth’s account of a pledge made to him by Mr. Webster, when Secretary of State, (on be- half of this Government.) to interfere in Eu- repean political troubles in behalf of revolu- tionary Poland, Hangery, ‘Italy, &c., in cer- tain contingencies. The same journal con- tains an earnest appeel to the American peo- ‘ple uot to tong for the aequisition of Mexico, from the Philadelphia Ledger, and heartily endorses it. To ‘WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Tho Milk in the Cocon Nut.—We have re- ceived quite a budget of letters from kind and’ observing friends, who witnessed what went on atthe recent Hard New York State conven- tion assembled at Syracuse. They embrace #0 much of interest to those who take part in politics any where, as that we feel impelled to Preeent the Star’s readers with a summary of the wirings-in and twistings-out occurring there, which serve to illustrate most forcibly the fact that if ever there were a set of gentle- men whose maneuvers in connection with pub- lie affairs required watching, (if the commutity would protect itself against possible injurious wonsequences from the success of their in- trigues,) it is the very identical set which car- ried matters on that occasion with so high a hand. : According to our information, on the night before the convention assembled, those of the delegates and ‘‘ outsiders’’ who had reached Syrecuse were, the great majority of them, fincerely disposed to seek in their action of the next day only to lay the foundation of an entire reunion of the Democratic party of New York. But the next morning brought up to Syrocuse about twenty delegates and as many Hard ‘strikers’ who had passed the day and evening before in the house of Mr. D. 8. Dick- inson, at Binghampton, where a plan was con- cocted to pass resolutions so drawn up by that gentleman as that they would blink the Know Nothing and Nebraska bill issues, adopt an ad_ dress, (also written by himself,) the burden of which was his personal grief against the admin- istration on account of his failure to get the of- fice on the formation of the cabinet to which he aspired, and to take from the Democrats of the several Congressional districts the selection of the State’s delegates to the next National Democratic Convention, eleeting at that time and on that oceasion a delegation of Dickinson men. The idea of taking the selections of the del- egates out of the hands of the Democratic masses wa3 ccneeived because Mr. Dickinson Knows weil that, if chosen as heretofore, there is no earthly hope that his friends can poll one-fourth the Democratic primary vote in a single Congressional district of the State. Thus everything was scerificed in Mr. D.’s plan for carrying the Convention—shaping its action, 4&c—to the end of bringing about the bogus election, (eight or ten months in advance of the assembling of the Cincinnati Convention,) of a delegation of his own partizans; in the foolish hope of their recognition by that body, in preference to that of those regularly and properly elected by the Democratic masses abemeelves, as heretofore. Mr. Birdsali was, as usual, Mr. Dickinson’s managing man, and with his immediate back- ers boldly threatencd to carry all D.’s pur- poses by force, if that might be necessary. Birdsall, in justification of Dickinson's ends, professed to believe that there was a scheme on foot to turn the influence of the convention in favor of the nomination of Mr. Buchanan at Cincinnati! This joke is so capital es to in- duce us thus to make it “of record.” The platform drawa up and sent on by Dickinson (and afterwards reported and adopted, after amendment,) abandoned all that was distine- tive between the Hards and Softs, as to the eupport of the Nebraska bill, and even hostili- ty to the Administration. Yet it involved a refusal to unite with the Softs, because, and only because, united, the delegation to Cincin- nati could no: fail to be against its author— Dickinson. There could not have been a more thorough and sweeping abandonment of every issue made at the North on the Nebraska bill, ‘than was involved inthe resolution on the sub- Jeet as originally drawn up by Dickinson bim- self—of the power of Congress over slavery in the territories, the Missouri restriction, the principle of self-government as applied to the inhabitants of United States territories or colonies, &c. The only issue of the address ‘was—have not we (the Hards) been shockingly treated by the President ? Daniel E. Sickles, Esq., to his credit be it written, exposed the folly, selfishness, and im. potence of the effort to make the Hards, thus a mere personal party—a tail of Mr. Dickinson ; and demonstrated that the existing difficulty between them on one side, and the Softs and Administration on the other, was not one of principle in any respect whatever, but of dis- appointment on the part of the Hards about Spoils—that there was not the slightest differ- encg of principle existing at the time of the feature of the convention was, thatnearly eve member of it had him- self been, personally disappointed by the Na- tional Administration with reference to office, or owed the Softs a gradge for their failure to vote for him when running as a Hard candi- date for State or county office. Of the thir- ae omen om ne ty-six delegates chosen by them to the Cincin- nati convention, full thirty were actually taken from among themselyes. This was just such a bait to superinduce the impudent attempt to boost a bogus delegation from New York into the Cincinnati convention, as would be sure to carry, at Syracuse at least; as suoh politicians as the majority. Wore, might be relied on im- plicitly as being sure to bite at it (the bait) with avidity, The ticket was nominated by a committee appointed by the Chair, and the convention, to cover up Mr. Dickinson's tracks, absolutely refused to accord a yea-and-nay vote except by the demand of a majority. This was, of course, only deviséd to enable the chair to de- clare every thing carried his own way. The action on the motion of Mr. Sickles for the enlargement of the committee on the platform, affords an apt illustration, indeed, of the trick involved in the adoption of that regulation. ‘The secretary, after counting, announced that the vote on it was—ayes 53, noes 40, But the chair, ignoring the count and announcement, promptly pronounced the métion lost; saying that he thought there wero about 57 negative votes! There were not more than about 100 delegates then present. Such acts prove un- mistakably their reckless desperation and savage fury, carried to such an extent as that the upshot of their action is, that they merely made fools of themselves. Of the out-siders who had “‘a finger in the pie,” George Law was conspicuous; aiming, as he does, to obtain the Know Nothing presidential nomination. His instruments were there with plenty of his money, working to defeat union with the Softs, on the principle that a divided enemy is casiest to conquer. So also were the canal contract jobbers there in force. Canal Commissioners are to be elected this fall, who are to give out some fifteen millions in contracts. All the world know how the State Treasury is plundered in giving out such jobs. The expose was origi- nally made by the Softs of the manner in which the thing is done there; and the jobbers were bent on preventing a union, because that could hardly fail to result in the election of honest Canal Commissioners, over the candidates of the jobbers to be nominated jointly by the Re- publican convention and other organizations opposed to the Softs. Judge Bronson was amusingly lugged into the programme, being elected a delegate to Cincinnati. It strikes us that the judge, not- withstanding the proverbial obtuseness of his political perceptions, will hardly thank Dick inson for the impudent attempt to use him, af- ter what occurred at Binghampton, at the last election, wherein his vote fell 70,000 short of the rest of his ticket; evidently by pre-arrange- ment between Daniel S. Dickinson and the Know Nothings; Binghampton the “Hard” head quarters, taking the lead in that work. On the whole, the action of this convention, which meets the contempt and ridicule of the Hard masses themselves, demonstrates that what remains of the organization is now car- ried in the breeches pockets of ‘Scripture Dick,”’ only to be used by him in driving the best possible bargains for himself with the Know Nothings, or Sewardites, or any other faction that will bid highest.

Cholera at Fort Riley and ontho Plains. The following is an interesting letter (though not as late as the last news by telegraph) from @ gentleman attached to Lieut. Bryan’s sur- veying expedition to a friend in this city, written from ‘‘Camp thirty-five miles south- west from Fort Riley, Kansas Territory, Aug. 3, 1855,” vis: ** Wé left Fort Riley last Monday morning, the 2lst ultimo. Previous to that, the cholera had broken out there among the quartermas.- ter’s men and the few troops at the pest. We only came five miles, when one of the privates of the escort was taken ill on the prairie. We had a citizen physician with the party, but he was taken sick at nearly the same time the soldier was. I went back for Dr. Simmons, the kind, gentiemanly surgeon of the post. He reached our camp (ten miles from the fort) before I did, as I had to work up five miles of my work. He remained at camp until dark setting things right. After I reached camp, another of the escort was taken sick, and died that night. We remained at the said camp all of the next day, on account of the sickness of our physician and some of the escort. We left there on Wednesday, and came six miles to Sycamore Creek, which place we left yes- terday morning, arriving here last evening. Here we have fine spring water. Last night, about 8 o’clock, an express rider arrived here from Fort Riley with a note to Brevet Major Armistead, commanding company F, 6th in- fantry, (our escort,) stating that his wife was dying ot cholera. He forthwith put off in our atubulance, and has just returned to tell us a tale of horror. His wife died before hereach- ed the fort. Brevet Majcr Woods, command- ing company E, 6th infantry, who is now at Fort Kearney, left his wife, son, and daughter at Fort Riley; the son died before Major A. left on his return; Mrs. Woods and daughter were dying as he left. Major E. A. Ogden, assistant quartermaster, arrived at Fort Riley about two weeks since with some four hundred ° Nearly all his men are sick was considered dying when Major A. left.

The writer has, in previous letters, men- tioned young Mr. Larned, of this city. Ashe does not name him now, the presumption is he was well. Clerical Changes.—Wm F. Wallace and F. M. Ewell, temporary clerks in Land Office, haye been detailed for duty in the Pension Office. E.

A Correction.—In discussing, a few days since ‘‘ The value of Probity,”’ as illustrated in the career of James King of Wm., in Cali- fornia, we find that we inadvertantly did in- justice 'té a gentleman personally unknown to asa man of integrity. Wo refer to the person whose name we did not then know, who being one of the bearers of Mri Cohen’s ¢hallenge to Mr. K., "had been indicted by thé- Grand Jury, of which Mr, K. was the foreman, 18 meuths before. We are informed by the Cali- ‘ornians in Washington, to whom we refer above, that the indictment was not for pecula- tion, but for-«imisdemeanor in withholding the books and other property of the office from his ‘ogally elected successor, and that his ground ‘or doing so was because the successor had not bonded, as the law requires; and, further, hat, being tried under the indictment in ques- ion, he was triumphantly acquitted. We herefore take great pleastire in making this correction, which is evidently due to the gen- “eman implicated in the article erroneously. ee he Epidemic in Norfolk and Portsmouth.

The Howard Association have requested that no more physicians or nurses be sent, as they ave liable to be attacked with the epidemic ufter a few days, and, instead of rendering ser- vice, have to be nursed by those who should attend to others. Perzons from New Orleans aid the more southern climate are preferred, voth as physicians and nurses, from the fact “hat they are caperenced and acclimated to te malaria which produces the disease. The following persons have arrived at Nor- folk, and tendered their services to the suf- f ring: E. E. Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. Parker, and a colored boy, from Charleston, 8. C.; Dr. Camp- bell, Capt.

I shall return to Portsmouth to-night. Oxe of the volunteer doctors came from Portsmouth yesterday evening, on his way to Baltimore. He said he was just going back to fix up his business, and then return; that in 8 me six or eight houses in Newtown he visit- @1 fifteen sick, and had on his list some seve: - ty patients, and there could not be less than six hundred sick. He said a great deal more, but I did not believe he had run, nor that he was frightened alimost to death. A great many oe have been in circula- tion m regard to J. Gustavus Holliday, Esq. The truth of the matter is, that by his con- s'ant endeavors to relieve the sick and desti- tate, he over-exerted himself, and went to the Naval Hospital for a day or two torecruit him- sclf. This is the whole truth of the matter. The deaths of to-day, up to 3 0’clock, have seen fourteeh—twelve in town and two at the hospital. Below are some of the names.

Dr. Maupin and Col. Winchester Watts came out of the hospital this morning. John Woodley is still very sick and restless, and is occasionally delirious. improve. here is an increase of fever over the past three days. When this scourge will leave our towns none can form the slightest idea. There is so little communication between Norfolk and Portsmouth that we hear but lit- ue from the former place.

The company started the first subscription, and headed the list with $500, and Mr. Falls, the president, with $50. Their steamers are now running at a dead expense, and carrying supplies to the two cities free of charge. Here is one excep- tion that ‘‘corporations have nosouls.” All honor to the Chesapeake bay line steamers. Mr. Falls concludes a letter to Mayor Fiske, of Portsmouth, as follows : I would further observe, that the see: tion by our citizens for the relief of Norfolk, Portsmouth and now amounts to 311,000. We are able and willing to supply every map, woman, and child, tha: requires it, in your three cities; only let us know every day by mail what you want, and it will be im- mediately sent by the bay steamers, free of charge.

The little boy found upon'the wreck of the train has been recognized as the son of Mr. Mills, living near Bordentown. It issup that he came down on the New York train on the morning of the accident.
