The Intelligencer, extracting approvals of the idea of holding an Old Line Whig conven- tion in Louisville, from various Whig journals, heartily endorses the resolutions adopted by the Whigs of Washington on Saturday night last, and epntends that when the principles of the Whig party die out, the end of the Repub- lie will be at hand. The Wnion is profuse with compliments of the able speech of Senator Evans, delivered yesterday, upon the Kansas question, calling public attention to an incident connected with the domestic slave trade, narrated by Senator E.; wherein a brother of Senator Sumner is alleged to have played a conspicuous part, in- deed, and anything but a reputable one, asa separator of husband and wife, for what he could make by so doing over the selling price of the family sold together. Senator Evans’s reason for narrating the affair is to be found in Senator Sumner’s denunciation of the South for indulging in the practice. The Union also discusses the present politi- cal labors of Col. Benton, showing that his ob- ject in professing to be for the election of Bu- chanan and Breckinridge is only the better to enable him to injure them. The editor completely exposes the entire want of good faith in the Colonel’s present political posi- tion We have no idea that he can succeed in defeating the Democratic electoral ticket in Missouri, his end in view being too transpa- rent. While in his current speeches from the stump (in Missouri) he says nothing against the Republicans or Know Nothings or their respective causes, no abuse of the Democrats and their cause to which he can lay his tongue is too virulent to be rezorted to. Yet he usually winds up by proclaiming that be supports their national ticket! OT WA‘HINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. The Test of Their Sincerity —The com- prebentive, yet perfectly simple and feasible plan sketched yesterday by Mr. Toombs, in describing, in the Senate, the bill he proposes to bring forward for settling the existing difii- culties in Kansas, will test the sincerity of the protestations cf the self-styled “ friends of freedom”’ in that body, that they are strug- gling simply to protect the right of the bona fide people of Kansas to govern themselves under such a State government us they may fairly elect. His bill will propose to enact that a sufficient number of competent persons shall be charged with the duty of taking a census and making a registry of all the bona fide white male inhabitants now in the Terri- tory, who alone shall be authorized to vote upon the State Constitution; which question shall be decided by a vote of the people only aday or so prior to the approaching Presi- dential election, when all parties belonging elsewhere disposed to interfere in the affairs of Kansas will necessarily be so busy with political matters at home, as to make it very sure that few indeed, from non-slaveholding er slavebolding States, will essay to play over the game that has created so much trouble in the Territory. We recommend the frank, ean- did and manly speech of Mr. T., to which we vefer above, tc those interested, as embracing a key to the sulution of the difficulties in Kansas likely to prove satisfactory to all who are desirous only that the principle of consti- tutional popular sovereignty shall be faith- fully carried out there without let or hindrance from any quarter whatever. The Champion of Free Speech.—The pub- lie will judge of the value of the patriotic protestations of the Republican Know No- thing members of Congress, who afe so lustily protesting against the fracas of Mr. Brooks with Mr. Sumner, as having involved a terri- ble violation of the liberty of speech, from the action of Mr. Campbell, on Satarday night last at the head of a gang of indigenu- ous bellowers from the lodges, in the old line Whig meeting. His vindication of the right of free speech on that oceasion was truly characteristic of his present political associations, and contrast- ed with great force, indeed, with the tenor of his course in the House on the Brooks and Samneraffair. Backed by a crowd of vocifer- ous Know Nothings, he boldly went to the Whig meeting unasked and certainly unde- fired, as he was given to understand the moment he showed his nasal organ in the hall, and there refused to permit a set of gen- tlemen from whom he differs politically as wide as the poles, to assemble and exercise the right of free speech ; thrusting himself among and upon them, to force his anti-Whig sentiments down their throats. Verily, bis share in the meeting of Saturday night last affords a fair example of the value of Know Nothing Republican “ shrieks” for the vindi- cation of the liberty of speech, as alleged to be involved in the Brooks and Sumner fracas. The “ Half-Breeds.”—A convention of Half- Breeds assembled some days since in New York, and, after much excitement among themselves, nominated Speaker Banks fot President, and Wm. F. Johnston for Vice President ; but not feeling satisfied with their labors they sent a committee to consult their more shady brethren in Philadelphia. What advice was given has not yet become public. We know that the pure, tull-blooded Know Nothings do not recognize their half-blooded relatives; while their more sable kinsmen are ashy of them because their blood is too pale. The embassy to Philadelphia returned without having secured the recognition of either of their nominees. This treatment by their shady relative seems harsh and cruel. But it is the fate of Half-Breeds never to be ad- mitted into full fellowship by either parent. They are too feeble to accomplish anything by themselves. They may well exclaim with Mr. Webster, “ Where shall we go?”’ We suspect, from their instincts, that they will cling to their colored parents, where they most properly belong, and from whom they may obtain “woolly horses’ to take them on their journey up Salt River, where the whole sable family, with their offspring, are expected to locate next November. Begging Off.—The Intelligencer of this morning publishes the following paragraph : “A friend of the Hon. Lewis D, Campbell thinks it ought, in justice to that gentleman, to be stated that when he proceeded to ad- dress the Whig meeting on Saturday night last, he said he would not speak if there was any objection made; and that, whatever op- position was manifested at first, there was none which reached Mr. C.’s ear when he commenced. When the committee appeared with their report Mr. C. immediately desist- ed.” It is worthy of note that the editors, one of whom was in thg chair on the occasion in question, say not a word by way of backing up this statement of Mr. Campbell’s share in disturbing the proceedings of the Old Line Whigs. What businesshad Mr. C.—proclaiming to the world that he isa member of the Know Nothing order—to be present at the meeting on Saturday night last? Does any sane man believe that, in the face of the storm of indig- nation generated by his simple presence there at the head of a gang of unruly and ill be- haved persons notorious inimical to the meet- ing and differing politically with those for whom it was called, Mr. Campbell did not comprehend that the Old Line Whigs present were displeased with his course in essaying to addressthem? Could he not comprehend that fact when they (the Old Line Whigs) drowned his voice when he attempted to speak, and the chairman of the meeting tugged lustily at his coat tail by way of “ coaxing” him to de- sist? Bosh! This bogus champion of free speech went there at the head of his gang, simply to vindicate the right of Know Noth- ing rowdies to break up meetings of their pc- litical opponents; and the fact cannot be ex- plained away. The Sumner Letter.—We were in error yesterday in representing the Sumner letter read in the Senate, before we went to pres, as being from the pen of the Senator of that name. lt was from his brother. The Intelligencer of this morning describes it as follows, viz : “Tt was from Mr. George Sumner, brother of Senator Sumner, to Mr. Fish, of New York, which stated in cffect that an inference pre- judicial to his character might be drawn from the statement of Dr. Boyle, viz., that he (Boyle) had been dismissed as medical attend- ant in consequence of the testimony given be- fore the Committee of Investigation in the House of Representatives The reason why Dr. Boyle's services were dispensed with was because Dr. Perry, a personal friend of Sena- tor Sumner, was in the city, and had ecn- sented to remain and take charge of the case ; and at the time Dr. Boyle's services were dis- pensed with he (Mr. G@: Summer) was utterly ignorant of the testimony given befure the committee ’’ So, it is worthy of note, insomuch as it ad mits that the original allegation of the Re- publicans that the case of the Senator’s bat. tered head was taken out of the hands of Dr Boyle because of that gentleman’s improper professional management of it, is untrue. The letter in question furnishes a strong link in the chain of testimony, proving beyond question that nine-tenths of the fuss over Mr. Sumner’s wounds hasbeen sheer pretence, and naught else. The Disunion Convention.—The recent convention at Philadelphia was simply and purely a disunion convention, if ever such a body gathered together in this land. Thus, it was purely sectional; with the exception of a single individual, F. P. Blair, ali the rest of the few so-called southern delegates being northern men with northern interests, asso- ciations and affections only. It was @ gath- ering of the representatives of those in half the Union who aim to war in the conduct of the Government of the United Statez, on the other half of the Union. Suppose Col. Fre- mont is elected under the auspices of such a party, without the vote of s single alave-hold- ing State or district? Cun any one know £0 little of the true character of our countrymen anywhere, as to suppose that thus elected and for such a purpose, he will take hisseat in the Executive mansion as the President of the United States as they now exist? A Great Speech.—The speech delivered to- day by Senator Hunter, in reply to the late assult of Senator Sumner upon Virginia, was one of the most powerful intellectual efforts ever delivered in the Benate chamber. Calm, learned, dignified, and so rational as that its every sentence carried conviction to the minds of all unprejadiced persons who heard it thia speech is destined to exert a powerful nfluence on the northern public mind, in the way of opening the eyes even of the most ig- norant and fanatical there, to the fact that while abolitionism can benefit no one, white or black, its tendencies are to destroy all that is to be commended in the situation of the colored race in this country, and at the same time to ruin the prosperity of the whites o: the north as well as the south. . Suspended.—We hear that the non-appear- ance of the Washington Sentine/ this morning is owing to the suspension of its publication Though differing as widely as possible from our friend, its late conductor, on many matters, we wish him all the happiness and success in life that any man can have. In many re- spects he is a glorious fellow, and deserves to enjoy the ardent affection of his large number of personal friends. The Current Operations of the Treasury Department .—On yesterday, the 23d of June, there were of Troasury warrants entered on the books of the Department— For redemption of Texas debt.... $34,239 01 For the redemption of stooks.... 11,705 11 forthe Treasury Department... 2,500 76 PorCustoms .....s.ccsccssesecee 15,084 29 War warrants received and en- seeeevesecesceesesese sees 6,829 54 War repay warrants received and entered... 6,033 04 From Land: 7,629 53 From miscellaneous 101 69 ee CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to press, the special order, the Kansas State Government bill from tho Territories Com. mittee, was taken up, and Mr. Evans deliver. ed # speech in defence of South Carolina from the strictures of Mr. Sumner; vindicating in the course of his remarks the part enacted by his State in the Revolutionary War. Mr. Hunter having next obtained the floor, after a brief executive session they adjourned. In the House, the bill to create two ad- ditional land districts in Minnesota was con- sidered in Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, and was finally“aid aside to be reported back to the House with a fa- vorable recommendation. The bill for the admission of Oregon asa State was then taken up, and, after discussion upon it, the committee rose. Al number of territorial bills were next pas from standing committees, and were severally committed, ere the House adjourned. Proceedings of Te-Day. In the Senate, to-day, a communication from Jadge Gilchrist, of the Court of Claims, was laid before them by Senator Brodhead, explaining that the necessities of the public business required that the Solicitor of the said court shall have assistance; said letter was ordered to be printed. Sundry ‘cose, bills were introduced and disposed of ere Mr. Clayton called mp his bill to quiet the troubles in Kansas, which was re- ferred to the Territories Committee. When the hour arrived for taking up the special order, the Kansas State Government bill question, Mr. Hunter, who was entitled to the floor, addressed the Senate at length in reply to the assaults and misrepresentations of Senator Sumner directed (in his late speech) against Virginia. In the House, the first business done was the reporting of a large number of Territorial bills from the standing committees, which were all committed to the Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union. s Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, moved a resolution closing the general debate on the Army Ap- propriation bill in two hours after it shall again be taken up in Committee of the Whole; adopted. The House then went into Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, (Mr. Leiter again in the chair,) wherein the bill for the prospective admission of Oregon as a State into the Union was again taken up, and was being considered on a proposed amendment when our report closed. Reception of Mr. Fillmore in New York. The steamer Atlantic was signalled at 10 o'clock, Sunday night, coming up the New York harbor. When the steamer fired her gun at Quaran- tine, a responsive salute was given from the dock, in pursuance of the arrangements. The noise cf the loud and rapid discharges brought a large numbor of citizens from all parts of the city to the spot, notwithstanding the lateness of the hour. The Atlantic reached her landing about half after 11 o’clock, and Mr. Fillmore was wel- comed with any quantity of hearty cheers. The Committee immediately proceeded on board, and found Mr Fillmore in the cabin. He looked in excellent health, and somewhat browned by his extensive foreign travels. At a few minutes after midnight, Mr. Briggs addressed Mr. Fillmore on behalf of the Al- dermen’s Committee of Reception. He welcomed him in the name of the city of New York and of the Union, congratulating him that he had passed through the dangers of land and seain safety, aud returned in health and happiness to his native land. Above all, he rejoiced in predicting that Mr. Fillmore would return to the White House, and concluded by depicting the benefits of his prospective administration. Mr. illmore, in reply, said that this unex- pected but flattering reception from the city of New York, and from his native State, filled him with gratitude. Although he had been absent from the country for so long a time, he had never ceased to think and act as an Amer- iean citizen. Itdid not become him to speak of his past administration, which had passed into history; but he would promise, should he be again elevated to the Presidency, a faithful administration of the Constitution of the country, and to the whole country. If there be any persons who desire an adminis- tration for the North against the South, or the South against the North, he was not the candidate to whom they should give their suf- frages. He knew only his country, his whole country, and nothing but his country ife remarks were frequently interrupted with cheers. Mr. Fillmore was then escorted to the car- riage provided for his reception, and was taken to the St. Nicholas Hotel, accompanied by the several committecs and precede bya long procession of his friends and admirers marching five abreast. Upon his arrival at the hotel, he appeared at the balcony and made a short speech in response to the de- mands of the crowd. | <r REV. ROLLIN BH. NEALE, D.
