EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: TUESDAY............ aesdeee. May 27, 1856. 177 Advertisements should be handed in by 12 o’eloek, m., otherwise they may not appear until the next day. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union publishes extracts from various newspaper accounts of the condition of affairs in Kapsas, with running commentaries. The editor takes the same view of them expressed yesterday in the Star. It is very clear now that the great majority of the people of the Territory, whether for or against the legaliza- tion of slavery in their State constitution when admitted into the Union, have combined to aid the authorities to compel the abolitionists sent out by the Emigrant Aid Society to obey the laws; andthat all the men among them, who bave been conspicuous as leadera of the Lawrence faction, ran away when it became certain that the cflicers of the law have power to enforce it. No Missourians are involved in the existing troubles there ; the actors being citizens of the Territory only. The Intelligencer is to day devoted to news literature, &c. e5”-—— o . WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP The Result, so far.—If ever men were cursed by the interference of their friends in their behalf, it is in the case of the Aboli- tionists of Kansas. The howlings of the New York Tribune, the squealings of the New York Times, and the sereechings of the thou- sand other Abolition presses, and the shriek- ings of the thousand Abolition orators for men, arms, money, and sympathy, has resulted in getting them simply into the position of avowed rebols utterly incapable of defending them- selves against the officers of the law. When last heard from, Lawrence contained but a third of its population at this period last year, all baving abandoned it but the loafers and madmen. Little was to be had in it, for love or money, but shocking bad whisky, which sold very high, and Sharpe’s rifles, for sale at one-fourth the cost of manufacturing them The leaders of those in rebellion had vamosed, believing discretion to be, by long odds, the better part of valor. All know what extraor- dinary exertions have been made by the Abo- litionists, every where, to insure the erection of an ultra abolition State on the border of the slaveholding State of Missouri, though all may not know that the bubble has fairly burst—that the means used to accomplish that end are apparently about to make it cer- tain that Kansas will conclude to adopt slavery through disgust at the character of free State populations, as exemplified by the Abolition- ists who have been precipitated upon them by the emigrant aid societics. Had Kansas been left to natural settlement it would have re- jected slavery, beyond all question. But the work has been overdone. The hands of aj! rational ani orderly men from the North who have emigrated upon their own means, are being turned against the Free State cause, from being only turned not long since against the Abolition qemagogue leaders with whom the Territory has been cursed. The freemen of the non-siaveholding States of Iowa and Illinois, both within a stone’s throw of Kansas, appreciating the true state of affairs in the Territory, do not lift a finger to the rescue of the cause of abolitionism; be- cause they comprehend clearly that its tri- umph there will be as unfortunate for their section of the Union as that of the Mormonism would have been, among themselves, had they not driven it away, neck and beels, not long since, by foree of arms. But wherever abo- litionism prevails in the old States so as to be able to set up its views of the fitncas of things above the law, no man whose legal rights are in the way of its purposes is able to maintain them. It robs slaveholders with impunity, shoots them down if essaying to vindicate their rights, and protects the instruments of its murders in such eases above, beyond, or around the reach of the law's arm. Wherever it is in the accendant in the States, it is simply an uomitigated curse, blasting the happiness and true moral and worldly prosperity of the communities suffering under itsinfluence. In Kansas it has almost worked its own cure al- ready. No others rejoice more over the fact that is ro fast cutting its own throat in Kansas, than the non-slaveholders of Iowa and Illinois who look calmly on, while New England and fiterior New York are in agonies over the squelebing up of the Kansas echemes and plots of Messrs. Greeley, Henry Ward Beecher, et af Our “Angel Gabriel.”—The Rev. F. S. Evans is just now taking the shine off his dis- tinguished political prototype, the original Angel Gabriel. We congratulate our amiable and reverend fellow citizen upon the aptitude be displays for excelling in the school of ora- tory introduced into this country buta few years since by that distinguished Know Noth- ing orator from Demerara, Mr. Orr. In a speech at the Navy Yard a few nights since, we bear, our indigenous Angel Gabriel was as extravagant, inflamatory, and as abusive as his distinguished prototype ever was afterone of bis never-to-be-forgotten trumpet flourishes. He is said to have been funny withal ; baving Gelared that if he wore not a man of peace and a man of God (quisical notions those, aint they, for him to entertain, reader?) he would take a sword and cut off Dr. Magru- der’s ears close to his head; the Doctor's cffence being an oratorical identification of the reverend brother with Washington Nailor, 8 politicians ef the same school. We hear that be charged Dr. Magruder with having perjured himself six times, and called on Dr. Busey to prove the fact, but the latter would not respond totheeall. He alsois said to have talked ferociously about “ piling dead bodies mountains high” in the Know Nothing cause; and exceedingly picusly (if ludicrously in- consistent with his furious fighting, biting, and scratching demonstrations made just he fore) of his services and sufferings in the cedure of the Saviour of man, which, to judge from the tone of his amiable @rgument, de- pends, the world over, upon the unanimity and zeal with which the Methodists of Wash- ington may rally at the polls on Monday next to vindicate the entire godliness not only of | It ab his walk in life as a christian minister, but as 2 politician—such being the substance of his invocation, said to have been directly ad- dressed to them! Our informant assures us that in the whole course of his political ex- perience he never heard more slang and foul mouthed abuse from the lips of the most viru- lent broken down political hack than was ut- tered on that occasion by the reverend brother. The truth is, the reverend brother must be in love with the distinguished oratoriza! repu. sation earned by The Great Original in this | country, and ambitious of himself becoming the North American Angel Gabriel. Delegates to the Cincinnati Convention continue to crowd in upon us by each suc- ceeding railroad and steamboat arrival. The leading public houses of Washington are crowded with them Judging from what we hear among them, President Pierce has a fair prospect for his re-nomination. It is now comprehended by all of them that the ap Proaching contest is to be fought fairly and squarely upon the principles and measures of his administration, one and all. Here and there, we find ono ortwo who would nominate to shirk the issue; and, of course, such gen- tlemen are opposed to his re-nominatiop. Those who condemn the Nebraska bill, are advocates of Mr. Buchanan’s nomination, upon the ground that he will receive a large portion of the anti-Nebraska vote of the North. Their efforts in his behaif, on such grounds, only weaken his prospects; serving to close up the ranks of the friends of the Ne- braska bill in favor of the re-nomination of the present incumbent. It gives us great joy to find such unanimity in favor of securing to the future of the country the legitimate fruits of the bold and unfinching Democratic policy of the present Administration as we discover among the delegates now here. High-handed Proceedings.—It will be ree ollected that Mr. F. Jefferson, a member of the Council Board of this city from the Second Ward, some time since caused the publication of his minority report from the special com- mittee to inquire into the alleged violation of the law-involved in the fact that Mr. T. E. Lloyd holds the office of clerk to the Commis. sioners of the Asylum while serving as a Coun cilman from the Seventh Ward—the report of the majority of the seid special committee, justifying Mr. L. in holding the clerkship, having previously been published. Last night the Know Nothing majerity of the Council Board passed a vote of censure on Mr. Jefferson for spreading his minority re- port, above referred to, before the public of Washington. We need hardly say that this unauthorized and foolish vote of censure is equivalent to a declaration on the part of those voting for it that their purpose is, as far as possible, to manage our corporation affairs hereafter as though the Washington Councils are mere Know Nothing lodges, with all the members thereof sworn, under pains and pen- alties, to adopt the ritual of the order for their guidance as public functionaries, rather than the Corporation charter and the laws of the land. The minority (anti-Know Nothings) of the Board, upon the adoption of the vote of cen- sure, promptly asked leave to place on record the protest that willbe found below; which privilege was refused. It ia as follows : Protsst.—Forasmuch as the papers in re ard to a member of this Board holding the Secretaryship of the Washington Asylum were reported to tae Board and were a part of its public records when published ; as they were each and all cfficial papers, written by officers of this Corporation, on a subject of public concern, in obedience to the mandate of the Board ; as they were no longer in possession of the Committee, but pait of them had been readin public meeting and the contents of the whole of them publicly stated ; as no in. junction of secresy had been placed upoa them, and no prohibition of their publication made; as their publication was useful to the — and hurtiul to no one who had right on is side; as none of them were suppressed, and therefore the publication was not one- sided; as the Charter declares of the two Boards that “their deliberations shall be pub- lio ;’’ as the two cases cited as precedents are not parallel to this, because the report ad- duced in one cate was published before the Committee had reported, and that in the other after the Board had refused by direct yote to consent to its publication ; as no sufficient par- Jiamentary rule has been presented to show that any wrong has been done; aa there is no restriction to the publication of such papers, under the circumstances of the present case, recognized by any legislative body under any free government; and as the withholding the right to publish them is an attack on the liberty of the press and would lezd to the general concealment of flagract violations of law. Therefore the undersigned solemnly protest against the resolution passed, as unjust and unprecedented, and as an invasion of their rights as members of this Board. Fexp Jerrerson, Witiiam Orux.

The Hards.—A pamphlet reviewing tho history of the Democratic party of New York, for some years past, was laid on the tables of all the members of Congress yosterday. It is of great present interest to the large con- course of Democratic politicians now in Wash- ington. It proves up the fect that the Hards are now little more than Know Nothings in disguise, saying: ‘Among the first individuals to join the Know Nothings in the State of New York, was Mr. MinorC Story, the notorious Adamantine conspirator, whose name has been mentioned, as baving largely contributed to the treachery and deception, of the 13th September, 1853. This gentleman was a noisy supporter of the claims of George Law, at the Philadelphia Convention. “Ira P. Barnes, of Chenango, the first chairman of the Hards after their secession, bas also beld conspicuous office in a Know Nothing lodge _ “‘ Besides these two gentlemen, the follow- ing, and perhaps more—at least twenty-two out of twenty-nine who seceded from 8 ra- cuse in 1853. have taken degrees in the Know Nothing Order. “Daniel D Campbell, of Schenectady, Vice President ; Robert H.

Croan, Juaee Sibley and J. C. Paterson, delegates and al. teroates from the same district, are Know Nothings also. E D Smith, of the 2tat dis trict, is of the same order, as well as Wm. | Sands, his alternate. N.'S. Benton, the ime mae ok ternate from the 17th district. is the Know Nothing State Auditor—the highest place in the gift of the American State officers. 58.5. Wendell, alternate from the Albany district, is of the same stamp. John S. Nafew, the other alternate from that district. is a mem- ber ef the order of the United Americans, the arent society of the Know Nothings. H. Boidick of the 3lst district, and his alternate, H. N. Hewes, are both members of the Order, @. P. Pelton, alternate from the 12th district, was delegate from Poughkeepsie, on the 18th of September, 1855, to a Know Nothing Con- vention of the 2d Judicial District, and, on the 26th October of the samo year, a delegate to the Know Nothing County Convention at Peekskill. He was, that fall, a delegate to threo Know Nothing Conventions and two Hard Shell Conventions. Charles Gray, of of the 17th district, is a member of the Order. Orville Clarke, of the 15th district, was tho Know Nothing candidate for Congress, in 1854. W. Williams, of the 32d district is also a mem- ber of the Order, as indeed have been, or now are, many other delegates claiming admission to the Convention. “ Betore the nomination of Fillmore and Donelson by the Know Nothing National Con- vention, it was believed that there was a chance for the selection of a very prominent ‘Hard’ by that body, for one or the other of the highest offices. That hope has now been ri! Soins ; and the motive for conciliating the Know Nothing organization, by giving prominence and a Democratic countenance to its leading men, and by the support of its candidates, is said to have ceased. The dele- gates who seek admission into the Convention, may, therefore, disavow any present connect ion with the Order, but they cannot deny their [aes affiliation with it; nor that, if rejected y a Democratic Convention, they have the full right to take their places, and continue capeexes communion with the American arty. “In the State election of 1854, the Hards were so divided by men who professed to be Demoerate, while secretly belonging to the secret society, that the Know Nothing influence prevailed. The Hard ticket contained the names of two Know Nothings of the third de- gree—t ¢. Clark Burnham for Canal Commis- sioner, and Abram Vernam, for State Prison Inspector. Nevertheless, the Know Nothing Hards split their ticket, refused to vote for Bronson for Governor, and cast their euffrages for Ullman. Tho result showed the extent of she amalgamation of this section with the Kuow Nothing party, and its consequent dis- organization : Democratic. Governor....... - 35.850 Canal Com'r....Williams - - Burnham - 120/747 “* The 86,897 which Burnham received over Bronson was the vote of the Know Nothing party upon a secret understanding of mutual support.”” [commonicatED. Mr. Epitorn: There seems to be quitea difference of opinion amongst the Democratic party as to who shall receiye the nomination for the next Presidency at the Cincinnati Convention, which is to meet in June next. My ideas of public duty do not permit me to indulge in personal predilections on a ques- tion of such national importance, and I trust and hope that the Cincinnati Convention will look alone to the maintenance of the great principles of the Demccratic party, which are those of the Constitution itself, and not to in- dividual candidates Personal preferences or sectional jealousies should not be permitted to have anything to do witha matter f such magnitude, Not at all. Thoy should be sac- rificed upon the altar of public good. That there are many distinguished leaders of the Democratic party who are worthy of the nomi- nation, and eminently qualified to fill the high office of President, every Democrat will, I ap- Sheet readily admit. I am one of those, iowever, who prefer principles rather than in- dividuals. I had infinitely rather be de- feated with a candidate who is known to be true to the Nebraska and Kansas act, and the issues soving out of it, than successful with one who is doubtful, because that act is in accordance with the Constitution, recognizes the rights and equality of all the States—does justice to all—injury to none. If the North intends to deprive the South of her Constitu- tional rights simply because she has & majori- ty in the National Legislature and the will to do so, it is time that the South should know it. Now is the time to meet that question and have it definitely settled, and I know of no better way to do so than by re-nominating the | hap epheectas uished Chief Magistrate, Frank- in Pierce. He has administered the Goy- ernment according to the principles of the Democratic party that elecied him and the Constitution, and in thus doing he has ex hibited a degree of justice, firmness, ability, and integrity, which shows that there was wisdom in his nomination, and the fidelity with which he has discharged his duty in re- gard to the Kansas question, proves conclu- sively, in wy humble judgment, that he should, as a matter of principle and as a re- ward for the faithful discharge of his high duties, be again selected as the leader and standard-bearer of the great Democratic party in the next Presidential contest. If the South is true to herself, her interests, and her constitutional rights, she will stand firm, and vote for no other candidate but Franklin Pierce at the Cincinnati Conyentior; {f the South abandon Mr. Pierce after the noble, rational, and fearless manner be has discharged his constitutional duties, no North- ern man can, will, or ought, hereafter, stand up for her constitutional rights, and her de- struction will soon be accomplished, and she will be accessory to it Now is the time to have the issues growing out of the Kansas question settled. If the South is to be de- prived of her rights under the constitution, she ought to know it, and ‘ provide new guards for her future security.” Wasuixcron, D C. Vineria. The Enlistment Embroglio.—We are sat- isfied that the meeting of the Cabinet yester- day was with reference to Lord Clarendon’s dispatch, and not concerning Kansas, as inti- mated in the Baltimore Sun this morning. If the dismissal of Mr. Crampton has not been determined on, public rumor here and the general impression among the foreign dip- lomatists in Washington are entirely in error. For our part we look for that event to take place, as matters now stand, not long hence. Confirmed. —The Senate have confirmed the following nominations, viz: Peter Parker, of Massachusetts, to be the Commissioner of the United States to China, vice R. M. McLane, resigned. Jas.

After the transaction of some other business they adjourned. Preceedings of Te-Day. In the Senate, to-day, Mr, Slidell, rising to & personal explanation, denied the accuracy of the testimony of Mr Sumner before the spe cial committee, as published in the Baltimore Sun of this morning, relative to the fracas that took place a few days since in the Senate chamber, Mr. Douglas also made a personal explana- tion, wherein , denied the correctness of the statement made by Mr. Sumner with ref- erence to himself, as connected with the fracas above mentioned. Mr. Toombs also did the sa and took oc- cas‘on to add that when the affair occurred, he felt no other sentiment with reference to it than that Mr. Sumner received just what he deserved, and nothing more. Mr. Butler addressed the Senate in a few remarks, wherein he stated that Mr. Sumner, in saying that his (Mr. Butler’s) personal re- marks had called for the language that Mr. S. had used towards him personally, had com- mitted a mistake He challenged a reference to the record to prove that he nad long since ceased to recognize Mr. 8. in debate, or to al- lude in any way to anything the Senator (Mr. 8S ) said or did. Mr. Wade denounced the declaration of Mr. Toombs. He declared that, on the doctrine of Mr. T., it would be necessary for his side to come into the Senate chamber armed, and, though but a small number, to vindicate right of free speech there by force of arms. Mr. Wilson explained that his colleague's testimony might be wrong in unimportant psr- ticulars on account cf the confusion of his sit- uation in the affair; and thus accounted for his mistakes, to which Mesers. Slidell, Doug- las, and Toombs had alluded. In the course of his remarks he took occa- sion to denounce the assault made by Mr. Brooks on Senator Sumner as base, outra- geous and cowardly. When he ‘uttored that last word Mr. Butler said, ‘‘ You are a liar.’’ Great excitement here occurred for a mo- ment; when Mr. Stuart called to order, and argued that all the current proceedings were out of order. Mr. Butler then apologised to the Senate for using the words that had last escaped him. After a few further remarks from Messrs Wilson and Foster, the hour for the special order arrived; and the Central American question with Britain was taken up. In the Houre, Mr. Walbridge reported back from the Public Lands Committee the bill granting lands to Michigan in aid of the con- struction of certain railroads in that State, with a substitute therefor. Moving to put it on its passage, he addressed the House in explanation of its provisions, and called the previous question on its third read- ing. ‘Sir. Jones, of Tennessee, and Mr. Craige, urged him to withdraw the call, in order that the opponents of such legislation as the bill proposed, might be heard; but Mr. W. de- clining, the House seconded the call for the previous question—ayes 74, noes 55. Mr. Jones, of Tennessee moved to recon- sider that vote. PERSONAL. «+++ Hon. Rufus Choate and son, of Massa- chusetts, are at Willards’ hotel. +++. Goy, Bradbury, A. B. Chase, and A S.
