EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: TUESDAY. .....-.0000000-+-+++- April 1, 1856, i[7- Advertisements should be handed in by 12 o’elock, m., they may not appear untt! the next day. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer discusses the Clayton- Bulwer treaty today through the pen of correspondent, tersely, and with effect. The Union announces that the Senate of Massachusetts have defeated the effort of the lower house cf the Legislature of that State to imerease the term of naturalization there to twenty-one years, and proposes to-morrow to review so much of the Pennsylvanian’s recent ten column article on Mr. Buchanan as treats of that gentleman's position with refer- enee to the slavery question. The Union commenting on the late admirable speech of Senator Douglas, takes occasion to say, with force indeed : “There is one point in Judge Douglas’s report which seems to us to make the demc- cratic position on the question of congres- sional restrictions upon territorial govern- ments perfectly impregnable—we refer to the position that the power of Congress to give Gevecametts to the Territories of the United tates is a necessary and proper incident to the express power to admit new States into the Union. Others have demonstrated the non-existence of this power in the clause for disposing of the territory and other property in which our opponents locate it, but, until Judge Douglas’s report, we had not seen the uestion divested of all embarrassments by educing the power as a necessary incident to that expressly given of admitting new States. As yet we have heard no effort to controvert the conclusiveness of this position. When it wis announced in the Senate, upon the reading of the report, it struck us like one of those great truths which seem so sim- ple and obvious when discussed that we are surprised they were not sooner brought to light, and which we hesitate to acknowledge because of their very simplicity and obvious- ness. For this reason, we have waited to hear what answer the intellectual champions of the opposition have to make to the ition ”” WASHINGTON NEWS AND Gossii; The Mock Governcr of Kansas.—We have at length obtained from California informa- tion bearing on the history cf the career of Dr Chas. E. Robinson, who now sets up to be Governor of the State of Kansas, which we have for come time past been looking for. It shows conclusively that he is just the man for his present task of leading unthinking and excited persons to violate tho laws and so to conduct themselves generally, as to run up an account for which they will suffer in the end without stint. He is one of those discontented and unbappy spirits, satisfied only amid scenes of agitation and excitement. He reached California in ’49, when there was ample ma- terial there for the gratification of his ruling passion. Sacramento, where he went to live, was located on lands belonging to Capt. Sut- ter, held through a valid Mexican grant to bim. Lt was in all respects correct, and all who desired lots in the city could purchase them at fair rates A class of persons, how- ever, under the lead of Robinson, pretended to deny the validity of Sutter’s title and pro- ceeded to seize on the unoccupied lots; many of them selling them on speculation, as they gould find dupes to purchase of them for any ready money they might obtain, and giving Quit claim deeds. The dupes were of course thus left to contend before the courts with the real owners of the land, and were victimized to the whole amount of the purchase money ped. Thus many honest and confiding per- sons were swindled out of their every dollar, and their complaints to those who had de- fraoded them were met only with impreca- tions on the courts and the speculators. Their advice was, ‘‘ Hold on to the land, fight for it, and in the end we will whip Sutter's gran- tees and possess the best lote in the city our- selves.”’ Thus were the people incited to resist the laws. The miners were invited to leave their labors in the mountains and flock to the city to join Robinson and his band in “ jumping” the lands of others, which had been honestly purchased and paid for. Hundreds not ac- quainted with this question of land title, led away by excitement and delusion, co operated with them. The result is, that after yeats of contest and excitement, and after spending in time and money enough to have purchased twice as much of the same lands as they at- tempted to acquire by force and violence, (the title, in the mean time, having been firmly and finally settled in favor of Sutter,) they found themselves the helpless victims cf their unserupulous leaders. Hundreds there are at this moment, whe, having spent the flower of their life (seven years) and their last dollar in this fruitless contest, are now without even hopes. They are really objects of commisser- ation with all familiar with the circumstances under which they were entrapped into the (to them fatal) dilemma by Robingon and his co- operators, whose sole purpose was to realize money by the excitement, in which he, espe- cially, was successful ; havicg long since left the country and his dupe, carrying with him his ill gotten gains. A sight of the wreck he has made of his vic- tims there would be sufficient to induee al- most any other man to abandon bis present somewhat similar wild career, in which he is inducing thousands to leave their homes and embark in a new and distant country, ona wild-gocse chase of pretended opposition to slavery, to whom disappointment, mortifica- tion, and suffering will be their inevitable re- “ward. But to return to Robinson in Califor- nia. He counselled resistance to the law and the seizure of the lands of others on account of alleged invalidity of title. His advioe was followed, and the business of the city was al most ruined by those lawless proceedings. Many of the intruders were removed from the lots by the ordinary legal proceedings, ard while that was | ng done, Robinson and his party appeared in the streets. armed with Tiflos, headed by a mounted leader, avowing their determination to restore the lands by force to the parties ejected by order of the courts. It was apparent to the law-abiding portion of the community that if they should be permitted to accomplish their purpose, there must be an end to law, and property- holders must abandon all hope of iegal pro- tection, and surrender their property to a band of men avowing themselves to be above and beyond the reach of all law. This armed force, led on by unscrupulous leaders, paraded the streets defiant of the civil authorities. They were followed by thousands whom curiosity or interest prompted to witness zo extraordinary proceeding. Fear and hope alternated in the minds of the Spectators as to the result. The suspense did not last long In turning a corner, the crowd pressing to closely on the armed mob, firing commenced, and a serious fight was the result, in which the mayor and sheriff, and several prominent citisens of Sacramento, lost their lives; several of Robinson’s party were also killed, and Ae was conveyed to the prison brig dangerously wounded. Shortly after- wards an election of members to the Legisla- ture took place, and owing to popular sympa- thy for him, arising cut of his confinement, he was returned as a member pledged to op- pose all grants like that to Sutter, and their holders or assignees. The cry of the party electing him was—down with all such grants and their proprietors; which cry he had taught them. Col. J. C. Fremont, the most obnoxious man in the State to Robinson’s party, because the holder of the most important similar grant, was the candidate for the Senate of the United States of the party obeying the laws and sus- taining the authority of the courts. Probably not a single man of all those voting for Robin- son himself, would have voted for Fremont; party feeling upon the squatter question runt ning so high at that time. To their utter as- tonishment he voted for Fremont for the U. 8. Senate. Though the Legislature rat until the 3lst of May, his name last appeared on the journalson the 27th of February Thesteamer left San Francisco on the Ist of March, and leaving San Jose on the morning of the 28th February, he reached the steamer, sixty mile distant, by a forced ride, in time to steps aboard just as she was starting out to sea. Thus he abandoned his post and his con- stituents, having treacherously betrayed every interest he was elected to represent. The indignation against him in Sacramento was 80 great on account of his course in the Senatorial election, and for his flagrant viola- tion of every principle on which he was elec- ted, upon the San Francisco water lots bills, and the question of the change of the seat of government, that his life would not have been safe from the vengeance of those who had voted for him, had he ventured to face them again; as he dared not do. About the time of his surreptitious depar ture, resolutions providing for an investigation into charges affecting his character inciden- tally, were introduced, and it was supposed in Sacramento that he took that occasion to ab- squatulate. He next turned up in Kansas. The Times Correspondent.—We owe an apology to the Star's readers for having per- mitted our temper, on Friday last, to get the better of our usual good-nature in the matter of the correspondent of the New York Times. We keew well that his imputation on us in connection with the Nicaragua embroglio was in fulfillment of his declared purpose of vent- ing his personal hostility to us through the columns of papers for which he writes, and had noted so many proofs of that settled de- sign as that, we confess it, we lost our pa- tience; as one does at times with the persist- ent fly buzzing around ono’s nose. In yester- day’s New York Times he again assails us in @ manner evidently showing that our shot took effect. We have no reply to make to his allegations; none being necessary. He has evidently gone daft with rage, and we can only regret that there is nothing more of which he might accuse us by way of easing his per- turbed spirit. For we usually to overflow with the milk of human kindness, as to be per fectly willing to permit such persons to assail us to their heart’s content, if in that way they can be relieved from the state of mind in which this individual evidently rests. Being both well known to public men in this com- munity, no defense of ourself is necessary from anything he may write of us. Some years ago a number of gentlemen in Fauquier county, Virginia, assembled fer a deer-drive. A friend of ours—it was his first indulgence in the sport—was so astonished with the vim with which the young buck that had been started dashed up to and by him, that he failed to fire. He was instantly called by the gentlemen who led the hunt to mount and ride with him through a near path to where an old negro, famous for never miss- ing his game, was stationed—at the last *(stand’’ on the ‘‘ drive’’—so as to make sure to have it brought down if the young fellows in the hunt failed to hit it. They reached old Toney just as the deer bounded by him, eut- ting up all sorts of astonishing rusties, leaping twice as high as usual, and setting old Toney himself into hysterics, as it were. “Why don’t you kill that deer, you old raseal you?” exclaimed his master. ‘‘What’s de use, massa, ob wasting powder and shot on dat ere fellow?’’ replied Toney. ‘Fore de Lord, massa, let him alone, and he jump so high he sure to break he own neck directly!” In this case we have but to act on old To- ney’s injunction, as before, until he may again provoke us to take him in hand as on Friday last.

In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to press, the resolutions of Mr. Iverson, for the appointment of a select committee of — Sena- tors with power to send for ,ersons and papers to examine into and report on the action o the late Naval Retiring Board, was farthe™ debated by Mr. Iverson for it, and Messrs Siidell and Clayton against it, with a few in” cidental remarks from Messrs. Butler and ‘eo e Senate jurned at 5p. m., Mr. Clay- ton being eatitien te the oon, n rd In the House, Mr. Campbell, of Ohio,§ro- ported back from the Ways and Means Com- mittee the invalid pension appropriation bill, with a recommendation not to concur in the Senate’s amendment thereto; a bill making appropriations for restoring and maintaining the peaceable disposition of the Indian tribes on the Pacifico, and for other purposes ; also, the deficiency bill (non-concurring in some of the Senate's amendments thereto, and concurring in others,) and all the said bills were then aay committed. r. C. further reported, from the same com- mittee, a resolution making the several bills reported thereffom the special order for Tues- day, April 15, and daily, (except Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays,) until disposed of ; agreed to. Various other bills and reaclutions were re- ported and committed ; among them a resolu- tion authorising the Private Land Claims Committee to employ a olerk, as they require the services of one, at $4 per diem ? The House then went into Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, (Mr. Mace in the chair,) and took up the bill making ap- propriations for the suppression of Indian hostilities in Oregon and Washington Terri- tories. The bill was discussed at length by many | ecrae the speeches of Messrs. Lane, of regon, and Anderson, of Washington, being very effective and full of interest. They adjourned at a late hour. of To-Day. In the Senate, to-day, Mr. Mason reported, from the Foreign Affairs Committee, a joint resolution amendatory of the act of March 1, 1855, to remodel the diplomatic and consular system of the United States. After a few re- marks from that gentleman in its favor, it was passed.
