The edi- tor attributes its recent suspension to his ill- ness when engaged in consummating his ar- rangements for securing the continuance of its publication. These arrangements having been perfected he proposes to publish the Sentinel as heretofore, until the 22d of July, and daily, thereafter. We congratulate him on his recovery and on the consummation of his pecuniary plans. The Unzon republishes comments of the Evening Post upon Col. Benton’s recent speech in St. Louis, wherein after vilifying and slinging any quantity of slush on the Cincinnati Convention, its platform, the Ad- ministration, the Democracy of Missouri, &c., he winds up by announcing that he supports Buchanan; the most ridiculous non sequitur to his argument conceivable. As the Union intimates, we fancy no real supporter of the Democratic national ticket can read that speech without comprehending that the gal- lant Colonel is fretting and sweating at a great rate over his job of defeating Buchanan io Missouri. The Intelligencer says of the English “‘ war news :” “ The leading journals of England urge the dismissal of Mr. Dallas as due to the wounded honor of the country ; but we are glad to find that the British Cabinet had not taken, as we hoped it would not, any such retaliatory step —astep altogether unnecessary, and therefore unwise. The cases are obviously different. We dismissed Mr. Crampton—whether right or wrong is not material to the question—be- cause of offence our Government had taken at certain acts of the Minister, which rendered him personally obnoxious ; and therefore, as further official intercourse with him was un- pleasant and useless, his official relations were remptorily terminated. In the case of Mr. Faaee however, he has given no offence, but is, on the contrary, highly acceptable te the British Government personally. as well as officially ; and therefore, unless that Govern- ment should have felt itself so deeply wounded as to require an expiatory retaliation, which poh supposed without impugning its good rense and discretion, Mr. Dallas will not be disturbed. This, however, may turn out to be false reasoning , the British Government may not be able to resist, any more than other free Governments are, the violence of an inflamed public press.” Of Mr. Slidell’s late movement in the Sen- ate with reference to giving aid to the sugaT planters of this country, the same journal says: “‘There has been some difficulty amongst purchasers of sugar in understanding the cause of the high price maintained by this article of necessity for some time past. This is explained by Mr. Slidell’s movement in the Senate on Thursday last on the subject of giv- ing aid to the sugar planters of the United States. Mr. S. stated a fact of no small im- pertance to the country at large. He suid that the sugar crop of Louisiana for several years past has fallen off from four hundred and sixty or seventy thousand hogsheads to probably this year not more than one hundred and twenty thousand hogsheads. One cause which gives rise to great apprehensions on the part of the planters of Louisiana is the sup- posed detioration of the cane. It cannot be lanted from seed, but must be reproduced rom the cane itself, which germinates from the eyes. It is necessary to introduce new plants, and to do this conveniently vessels must pass directly to where the cane is to be Planted, £0 as to avoid frequent handling, which destroys the eyes of the cans. The Senate, in view of this information, very rea- dily paesed, on Mr. Slidell’: motion, a joint resolution to authorize vessels so to pass with- out unloading at New Orleans. Mr S also asked an inquiry, which was granted, thut the Committee on Agriculture report on the expediency of making a specific appropria- tian for the importation of seed sugar cane for tuitous distribution to the planters of the nited States. “ As this is a subject of general interest to the country, it is to be hoped that no constitu tional impediments will be allowed to thwart @ purpose so decidedly beneficial and expe- dient. Secretary Dobbin, with a commenda- ble solicitude on this subject, has suggested the idea that cur ships of war might, without detriment to the public service, bring home imens of cane, and he has given instruc- tions to that effect. Mr. Browne, the able Superintendent of the Agricultural Bureau, bas also made some valuable suggestions on the subject.”” rr on PERSONAL. ++++Ex-Goy.

The News.—The news by the Asia created much excitement and feeling on Pennsylvania ayenue yesterday afternoon. The wonder- mongers were evidently in a state of great anxiety over the probability of war with England. They were busy for hoursdiscussing the prospect of a war, with all talkers within their reach Their anxiety amused us, inso- much as we reully believe there exists almost as much danger of war with the moon, as be- tween England and the United States at this time. Neither power has anything to gain by ® war between them, and both have much more to lose by such a war than by engaging in hostilities with any other power. No ma- terial interest of either is at the bottom of their current misunderstanding; the point in issue being simply one of etiquette, or rather, of national dignity. The act of this Govern- ment in dismissing the representative and agents of the British Government whose offi- cial presence here had become offensive, is by no means a cause of war under the laws or customs of nations; nor would retaliation by the dismissal of Mr. Dallas be legitimate cause for a declaration of war on the part of the United States. There is certainly no disposi- tion on the part of any portion of the people of the United States to goto war with Bri- tain; nor have we the remotest idea that any one connected with this Government en- tortains the slightest disposition so to do. Though the Times and two or three other English newspaper that lose no opportunity to fillibuster against us in their articles on England’s American relations are full of fury, it is evident that ninety-nine in every hun- dred Englishmen who interest themselves in public affairs, scout the idea of war as vehe- mently as our own people do. The bluster og the Times is no new feature. lt indicates no more now than it has indicated a hundred times almost, in the last ten years, and it affects the nerves of none in Washington well informed with reference to the real state of our relations with England. Indeed, we find that many statesmen here, foreign as well as American, who recently entertained the belief that Mr. Dallas would be sent home, are convinced by the Asia’s news that a notice to quit will not be served upon him. Had positive information that Mr. Crampton bad been dismissed been first transmitted to that gentleman’s government by himself, instead of direct from the United States’ State Department, through Mr. Dallas, the probability is that the latter would, in turn, have been promptly sent away. At least such is the received opinion in diplo- matic circles here. The delay on the part of this Government in consummating Mr. Cramp- ton’s dismissal untilsome days after it seemed to be well known that the event was about to transpire, doubtless arose from its desire to have the official notice on the ocean on the way to Mr. Dailas, before communicating it to Mr. Crampton, g0 as to prevent its being pos- sible for Mr. C. first to inform his Govern- ment of the-fact. The Old Line Whig Meeting.—The fol- lowing able and interesting letter is from the pen of a gentleman of high character and reat social influence in this community, who when in public life held « distinguished posi- tion. We know him to be an ardent Fillmore man, and that if there is » man in this com- munity who is entitled to express the views of the Old Liue Whigs here, as a party. he is that man. Tre Ovv Lise Wuic Meeting —Mr. Edi- tor: You are quite correct in your remarks on the conduct of the Know Nothings at the Whig meeting at Copp’s saluon om Saturday night last. In a long political experience t have never witnessed any thing so indecent, intru- sive and intolerant. It was very evident they had mustered there with a view to break up the meeting, if they could not control it. The venerable chairman, Mr. Seaton, who presided with so much dignity and decision, stated clearly and emphatically, that the meeting was called exclusively for the Old Line Whigs, who had adhered steadfastly to their colors, and did not include any who had joined or aifiliated with other parties, either Democrats, Repub- licans or Americans. All such were intru- ders, and no one having the feelings or pre- tensions of a gentleman, who did belong to otber parties, would attempt to interfere in the business of the evening in face of this plain declaration, one of the Know Nothings, with unparalleled impu- dence moved that another of his party should act as Secretary of the meeting, which motion was, of course, promptly put down, and when Gov. Jones presented himself, some others of these worthies undertook to catechise him as to his politizal faith As tor the rowdies on the floor who acted thus, there may be some palliation for their conduct, from the fact that their previous as- scciations, infurmation and education had taught them no better. But it was a matter of the unfeigned sarprise to all right thinking and respectable persons then present, that an individual of the position, respectability and character of the Hon. L D Campbell, should lend himself tu such proceedings and intrude himeelf in the manner he did upon a meeting with which he had no connection, and against the wishes of all those who legitimately com- posed it, by whom his conduct was viewed with great disapprobation. There is not, and cannot be any excuse or palliation for him; and his conduct on the occasion, has most justly destroyed, with all those who witnessed it, their previous high respect and considera- tion for him. The conduct of these pretended friends of Mr. Fillmore shall not drive us from the con- tinued and zealous support of that gentleman for the Presidency, but it will drive all the Old Line Whigs from ever hereafter affording ‘aid and comfort”’ to the Know Nothing party in thiscity That party has already greatly suffered in Washington from previous exhibi- tions of rowdy and intolerant conduct, and this last act has sealed their fate as regards brs future municipal elections in Was ing- in. Heretofore the Old Line Whigs have not al- lowed political views to interfere in votin: for municipal cffivers; but the great body of them will now be found corulled among the most determined opponents of the Know Nothing candidates; fur the proceedings on Saturday as well as similar ones on previous occasions, have exhibited a spirit which renders them unfit be entrusted with the control of our mu- nictpal affairs, the bad practical management of which for the last two years, being addi- tional proof of their unfitness to have the charge of the government of the city. The rapid decline of their popularity here should have been a warning to them that there was something wrong in their management which had thus destroyed their influence, but this last act bas fully consunmated their fate by Uringing the whole body of Old Line Whigs into the Opposition ranks. AN Ocv Ling Conservative Waa. The Committoe.—Fair-minded men can hardly fail to note the fact that Messrs Sher- man and Howard, of the Kansas investigating Committee, not only essayed to prejudge, in the popular mind, the case on which they were required to sit as the immediate judges by the House, by delivering inflammatory speeches upon it before mobs of infuriated Abolitionists in Kansas, but are engaged in the same work on their journey back to WasL- ington. We presume that more perjury, qi- rect, glaring, and palpable, was committed before them than was ever befure essayed be- fore such a commission. Their evident design, judging from what the New York Tribune and Times published concerning their method of conducting the investigation, it is clear, was simply and wholly to bolster up the cause of Abolitionism in Kansas, rather than to ob- tain fair and truthful testimony concerning the real occurrences there. Acting as they did througheut their investigations, as attor- neys for the Abolition cause, rather than as judges sworn simply to do justice between the parties, it is not wonderful that ¢heir witnesses should resor$ to wholesale perjury to help them in making out the ease they seemed to be aiming to cook up for effect on the gullible of the North. I: cannot be possible, after their receat violent tirades of abuse of the anti- Abolitionists of the Territory from the stump, that their recommendations to the House with reference to Kansas affairs will be allowed to have the least weight in the minds of fair and realiy considerate membersof Congress; other- wise, it will be idle hereafter to hope for the triumph of justice and right before the House, in any case wherein a party point may be es- sayed to be made. The Mare’s Nest.—Our truthful, talented, and ingenuous neighbor yesterday astonished the world with the announcement of the dis- covery of an error in the method adopted by the Treasury Department for the payment of claims under the Texas debt act, through which the Government had actually paid $50,000 more to certain holders of filed Texas bonds, than they were legally entitled to. Now, on inquiry, we find that thore is just about one ounce of truth in onr neighbor's fifty-six pounds of virtuous indignation over this alleged mismanagement of the affairs of the Department. oi In the first place, the aggregate amount over paid, was just $1,922, in ail the five cases wherein the mistake was made. In the second place, the treasury cannot pcs- sibly be a loser to the amount of a single penny through the mistake, as the payment in which the error occurred, was made through the Comptroller of the State of Texas, to par- ties of character and means sufficient to make it very certain that on the instant they learn that they have been overpaid, they will re- fund the amount—a fraction less than 7 per centum—thus improperly finding its way into their hands. The error was made in the settlement of what are known as claims arising under the second section of the act. That is, where Texas had already paid thirty per contum on the face of the bonds. They are a small class in number, and their settlement is a more complicated business than that of the Test. The Officers of the Saranac.—The follow- ing is a list of the officers who have just re- turned to the United States in the United States steam frigate Saranac, from the Medi- terranean : Captain, John C.

The Louisvfle Courier, formerly a Whig in slities, now supports James Buchanan for the Dresidency. The Democfatic State Convention of New Jersey, to select an electoral ticket and a can- didate for Governor, will meet in Trenton on the 6th of August. The Philadelphia Pennsylvanian thinks that in the event of Fremont’s election there will be @ power behind the throne com of Se- ward, Sumner, Wilson, Hale and Greeley. James Lockhart has been nominated for Congress, in the First Congressional district of Indiana, by the democracy. It is now repre- sented by Smith Miller, Democrat. The Utica Observer has private information that Rev. Theophilus Fisk, recently pastor of the Church of Reconciliation in that city, has been called to the editorial chair of the Phila- delphia Pennsylvanian, Forney and Buchanan organ. The ratification meeting of the Democracy of Concord, N. H . held on the night of Tues- day, 17th instant, was by long odds the largest and most enthusiastic public meeting ever held in’ New Hampshire. The Hor. John S. Welle, Henry Hibbard, and others delivered stirring speeches, breathing precisely the right spirit to be manifested by the immediate friends of President Pierce. Their frank, ardent, and earnest labors for the triumph of Buchanan should challenge the admiration of the sup- porters of that gentleman for the Cincinnati Reem TE REV.MR DEAN, CHAPLAIN to the Senate, will, by Divine permis- sion, preach on next Sabbath, the 29th instant, in the House of Representatives, at 11 o’clock a. m.
