The Intelligencer, referring to the bill of Mr. Toombs for the settlement of the difficul- ties in Kansas, says : “This bill, it will be recollected, propose? that acensus of the inhabitants ehall be taken, under the direction of the Secretary of State, by commissioners appointed for the purpose, and that none but actual residents of the Ter- ritery are to be counted. Provision is then made for a fair and impartial election of dele- gates to a State Convention to form a consti- tution preparatory to admission into the Union. Mr. Stephens has announced his intention to introduce @ similar measure into the House. Mr. Clay’ plan has been already given. These movements by southern gentlemen in- dicate that a proper concern has been awak- ened, not only for the peace of Kansas, but of the Union. It is impossible to conceal the fact that an urgent necessity exists for early acification, and the country at large cannot ut be gratified at the promise of a prompt diqpeabien of the eubject. The committee of the Senate is expected to make a report with- out delay, the chairman having indicated such a purpose when the reference was made.” The same paper publishes the proceedings of a meeting of the Kansas border counties of Missouri, wherein statements are made to dis- prove many of the allegations against the so- called “ Border Ruffians” that have found their way into that journal Also, a letter from an old Missouri subscriber, complaining bitterly of the leanings of the Intedligencer to the Free State party in Kansas, which con- clasion he draws from the alleged habit of that journal in seeking its Kansas news from the St. Louis Democrat and other such sheets. The editor defends bis course in acalm and dignified way, contending that his Kansas news is not made up in a partizan spirit. He trusts that the forthcoming report from the Investigating Committee of the House will soon solve the mystery of who may be in the wrong there. Apropos! This can hardly be the result of the labors of that committee, be- cause they were clearly directed to the end of obtaining testimony to serve a partizan po- litieal purpose; not the cause of justice as in- voived in the troubles in Kansas. The Union compliments highly the speech delivered yesterday in the Senate on the Kar§ Sas question by Mr. Foster. Its strength of Teasoning, conservatism, grace, and temper by the by, are just now being lavishly praised by men of all parties in Washington. ————6@V7q——a WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP Mr. Campbell, of Ohio —We have received the following note from Mr. Brooks, of South Carolina, covering the correspondence between Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, and himself, which will be found below: Corvuatan House, 26th June. To the Editor of the Star : Dear Sir: The following correspondence was occasioned by a paragraph in the Star of the 23d imst., and for that reason I request that the notes which have passed between Hon. Mr Campbell and myself in reference to the matter, may appear in the same newspaper. I was pained and surprised to hear that Mr. Campbell, who is a juror before whom I am to be tried in the House of Representatives, should attempt ng wastay those who may be my jurors in the Criminal Court of this Dis. tree: In fact, 1 could not credit it, and I expe- rience sincere pleasure in discovering that my previous estimate of that gentleman is sus- tained by his manly note, P. S. Brooks. Yours, respectfully, Hovsz or Represeyratives, June 25, 1856. Bir: The Star of the 23d, in alluding to a speech which I made in front of the City Hall on Saturday evening last, says, ‘its note- worthy feature was itscomments on Mr. Brooks of South Carolina, and its sweeping denun- ciatien of that gentleman’s case.”” This state- ment has no foundation in truth. 1 did not discuss then the merits of your case. In fact I have studiously avoided a discussion outside of the House of the facts reported by the com- mittee of which I am chairman. i have an aversion to appearing in the col- umns of the Star in reply to its misrepresenta- tions, yet 1 deem it due to myself to make this statement to you. 1 am, sir, very respectfully. yours, &c., Lewis D. Camprxne. Hon. P. S. Brooks, Washington, D. C. Hovex or Representatives, ’ —s 25, 1856. Simm: Yoer_note of this morning correcting the statement of the Star of the 23d is par- ticularly gratifying to me, as my relations with you have been heretofore of a friendly charac- ter, and though differing widely in political opinions, I had reason to believe that, person- ly, we mutually entertained sentiments of re- spect and kindness towards each other. Yours respectfully, P.S, Brooxs. Hon. L. D. Campbell We have previously stated that the infor- mation on which we based the article‘in the Star of the 23d, reprebending Mr. C.’s alleged remarks upon the affair between Messrs Brooks and Sumner at the recent impromptu meeting in front of the City Hall, was based on the statement of a gentleman (not having been present ourself) who understood his ye- hement animadversions to have been so di- reeted. Prom the following letter trom Mr Camp- bell, published in the Orgau of yesterday, it Will be seen that the reporter for that journal was equally unfortunate in failing to compre- hend correctly towards what quarter they were designed to be directed. Wasurmeros, June 25, 1856. Editor of the Amervean Organ: The account given in your paper of the 23d, by the secretary of the mee: ‘3 held on Sat- urday ning in front of the City Hail, con- tains a statement eae t eer a correct. it ite that I ‘‘spoke in terms of ‘withering sobhemnpt of those having charge of the meeting at Copp’s Saloon.”’ On that oceasion, as on all others, Colonel Seaton, the President, treated me gsm and kindly, and [ assured him that I merely en- tered the ball as a spectator a moment before the call was made on me to speak, and that I should utter nothing to offend any gentleman . Lobserved nothing on the part or any Pert e officers of which could com plain. The remarks which [ made subsequently, in front of the City Hall, had reference to those persons at Copp’s who, after having appa- rently consented to my ing in response to a very general call, me with hisses for the reason that I red affirmatively and truly the question Propounded from the audience, ‘“‘ Are you an American? I felt and expressed, emphatically, my con- tempt for those who, after the lights were put out at Copp’s, followed the multitude to the City Hall, denounced me as a ‘‘d—d Aboli- tionist,’’ and there, again, attempted to de- Bire me of the inestimable right of freedom Without going into any correction of the misre; tations of the mpiapetraton er in re to that interesting occasion, I wil only add, that the error of Mr. Harkness’s statement was doubtless anintentional, and the natural result of the ‘‘noise and confu- sion’’ which prevailed whilst 1 ie. aly, yours, &c. peli Lawis D. Caursexe. In view of the fact that Mr. Campbell’s ar- dent political friend, who made the report for the Organ above alluded to, went so wide of the mark in his comprehension of the party or parties whom he (Mr. C.) undertook to tongue-lash on that occasion, we are not sur- prised that our informant also misunderstood the allusions he (Mr. C ) was endeavoring to make, attributing them as aimed at Mr. Brooks; while Mr. Campbell says they were leveled at the portion of the Whig meeting who showed disapprobation of his attempt to address those present in Copp’s Saloon, where he was not welcome, being a Know Nothing— not an anti-Know Nothing Whig; while, again, the Organ’s reporter published them as having been leveled against those having con- trol of the affair in the saloon ! This whole matter seems to be one of mis- understandings, the reporter for the [nte/li- geneer having been as far out of the way in the matter of correctly comprehending Mr. Campbell’s share of what transpired at Copp's Saloon, if a reasonable conclusion may be drawn from the following card, appearing in that journal of the 24th inst. - “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 wes none which reached Mr. C.’s ear when he commenced. When the committee appeared with their report Mr. C. immediately desist- ed.” On the whole, to a man up atree, this affair must look indescribably perplexed, indeed. The truth is, the bundle of contradictory mis- understandings connected with it grow cut of the anomalous appearance of Mr. Campbell at the head of a gang of boisterous and rois- tering Know Nothings, where he had no sha- dow of right to go with the purpose of at tempting in any way to participate in the pro- ceedings of those who attended in good faith towards the object of the meeting. When gentlemen essay such political exploits as Mr. Campbell did on that night, they may not be surprised if cool-headed bystandors fail to comprehend correctly the drift of what they may be aiming at; which, being ‘- awfully twistical,’’ must as necessarily require “ twis- tical’’ oratory to justify or even to palliate it—difficult, indeed, to be comprehended by simple minded and single minded persons. Mr. Campbell’s indignation over the effurt of the Old Line Whigs to vindicate their right to meet at Copp’s Saloon and express their sen- timents upon the polities of the day, uninter- rupted by his assault upon it at the head of his raft of Know Nothing brethren, which he facetiously styles an attempt “to deprive me (him) of the inestimable right of the free- dom of speech” (!!!) is positively the richest joke of the season. Were it not so very broad in its apparent misconception of the moral point involved, its boldness might with great propriety be very differently characterized. What right had any Old Line Whigs thore or anywhere else, any how, while there were Know Nothings around town? Mr. Campbell might do some good if he would lecture after his fashion when on the City Hall steps, his political friends who fig- ured at the never-to-be-forgotten meeting at Carusi’s saloon, when Gov. Wise was hooted down in front of Brown’s hotel, and on the night before last, when a similar effort was made against a speaker or speakers at the the Demooratie ratification meeting in George- town. In due time it is to be hoped that the dear public will arrive at a correct under- standing of all the wonderful things done and said on Saturday night last at Copp’s saloon, and afterwerds on and around the City Hall steps. Above, we take pleasure in shedding all the light upon them within our reach, which be- tween you and the gate-post, reader, strikes us as only ‘‘ hunnifuggling’”’ them the more. The Vice Presidential Mystery Explained I:has been somewhat of a mystery to ac- count for the Republicans and the “ Half- Breeds’’ nominating so many Vice Presidents, with Fremont as their sole candidate for Pres- ident. We are now able tosolve this mystery. It was ascertained, by the most profound in- vestigations of the great Eastern explorers, who were in communication with the recent Philadelphia and New York conventions, that the dignity of bashaws is regulated by the the number of tails exhibited on their stand- ards—a bashaw of two tails ranking very high. Taking the hint from these travelers’ revelations, the effort was made in these con- ventions to establish the dignity of Fremont at a very high point, not by his own qualifi- eations and merits, but by giving him John- ston and Dayton as Vice Presidential tails! This, we think, explains the whole mystery. A Very Transparent Subterfuge.— The Charleston (S. C.) Standard having called Mr. Sumner’s brother, who, in trading in ne groes in Charleston, separated a husband from his wife and children for the greater profit he might thus make on his “traffic in human chattels,’’ Abner, instead of Albert, the New York Trebune essays to deny the whole ac- count. We are really amazed at the coolness with which the T'rzdune thus seeks to hide the truth in this matter, which can be verified by affidavits from hundreds of the most re- Spectable citizens of Charleston, where its sordidness gave rise to great indignation at the the time. — Mr. Dun —The short speech of this distin- guished gentleman, deliveret yesterday, ex- posing the furious partizan madness of the temper in which the Republican party of the House aim to dispose of the Topeka-made Constitution of Kansaz, will strike the country with great force, indeed. They supposed up to yesterday, that their writers had succeeded in snubbing and brow-beating Mr. D. off from his position of independence, with reference to the Kansas question, and were greatly alarmed at the probable effect on the North- ern popular mind of the attitude he continues to hold upon the question. Dr. Greeley —Dr. Horace Greeley is again among us, his bottle of liniment in hand. He comes to stiffen backbones for forcing through the House the Topeka-made State corstitu- tion of Kansas. A jolly time he will have of it before getting happily through his self-im- posed labors.

At the conclusion of which Mr. Benjamin, taking the floor, expressed his gratification at the able and 25h yiey manner and matter of the speech of Mr. F. The Kansas State bill and all pending propositions amendatory thereto were then committed to the Territories committee; and they adjourned. In the House, the bill reported from the Territories Committee for the admission of Kansas as a State under the Topeka-made constitution, was taken up. Mr. Grow moving its recommitment to the Territories Commit- tee, advocated its prompt enactment as a mea- sure of pacification, &c. Mr. Smith, of Tenn , replied at some length to the » h of Mr. G., defending the course of the President upon the Kansas question, and that of the opponents of abolitionism in the Territory iM Mr. Stephens gave notice of his intention to propose a substitute for that bill, and to ad- dress the House on that subject Mr. Richardson also expressed his purpose of speaking to the bill. Mr Dunn advocated committing it to the Committee of the Whole on the state of the ns a r Grow 0; that suggestion. The House Shen acat into committee, (Mr Leiter in the chair,) wherein various territo- rial bills were considered. On rising, the bill for the construction of a penitentiary in Ne- braska was passed ere they adjourned. Preceedings ef Te-Day. In the Senate, Mr. Crittenden introduced aresolution directing their Judiciary Com- mittee to inquire into and report on the con- dition of the law with reference to who shall act ag President of the United States in case of the death of the President and Vice Presi- dent ; their report to embrace a positive dec- laration by law who, in such case, shall act as President; adopted. The pending joint resolution of Mr. Adams, fixing a day tor the termination of the ses- sion, was taken up and amended by the inser- tion of the 28th of July as the time, and es thus amended it was adopted. Mr. Slidell moved the printing of a report and resolution made in Executive session upon the slave trado (upon which the injunction of secresy had been removed) bearing on the re Opening of the slave trade, a desire to do which ‘had been charged on him and the South erroneously, as he explained at some length. He urged the purpose of his motion to be to put at rest the unjust accusation re- ferred to above, a3 the resolution and report would surely do. Mr. Stuart reported from the Committee on Rules a provision to prevent personal allu- sions to Sanaters) or alfusions derogatory to individual States, in debate hereafter. It waz debated by Mr. Stuart for it, and Messrs. Crittenden, Hall and Butler against it, ere the Star went to press. In the House, the pending question being on Mr. Dann’s motion to commit the bill pre- posing to admit Kansas as a State on the To- eka-made constitution it was debated by essrs. Dunn and Stephens for it, and Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, and Mr. Washburne, of Me., against it, ere the Star went to press. ————————<-e-—_____ PERSONAL. ++++ Com. Store, U. S.
