The Union argues that the policy of the Rey ublicans with reference to the general ap- propriation bills is equivalent to naked revo- lution. The Intelligenecr, deseribing the Presi- dent’s meseage and accompanying documents sent yesterday afternoon to the Senate, says: “A letter was addressed to the President, on the 19th of June, by Governor Johnson, of California, asking fer assistance to enforce the laws of that State, and giving a brief recital of the late lawless acts of San Francisco. The Governcr asked for three thousand stand of muskets or rifles, fifty thousand rounds of am- munition, two mortars, three hundred shells, and two guns of large calibre, with their mu- nitions and appliances, promising that the: should be paid for or returned; and in addi- tion to these arms and munitions he deputed special commissioners to this city to make ap- lication for a part of the military and naval | aa of the United States to suppress the in- surrection. “ Secretary Marcy replid to the Governor of California. on the 19th of July, thatthe Presi- dent is prepared, whenever an exigency arises demanding fnd justifying his interposition, to render assistance to suppress insurrection against the Government of @ State, and to maintain the supremacy of the laws to the ex- tent of the authority vested in him by the Constitution and acts of Congress. In the present case, however, he has serious doubts as to proceeding in the manner indicated, there being ineuperable obstacles to the action now cemanded of the Government. He therefore Teferred the matter to the Attorney General, whose decisien thereon he approves. “Mr. Cushing argues that there is no evi- dence in the Governor’s statement or other autbentic information that in what has occur redin San Francisco there was committed or threatened any act of resistance or obstruction to the constitution or the laws or to the official authority of the United States. Tho Presi- dent is only to be moved to action by the Legislature of the State in which the insur- rection exists, or the Executive of such State when the Legislature cannot be convened, and when imminent or extreme public disastercan be averted only by such interposition of the Federal Government He says the whole con- stitutional power of the State has not been ex- erted ; and it does not appear that the Gov- ernor took any steps to sonvene the Legisla- ture of the State, although that remedy might have been adopted and had its effectual appli- cation to the evils long before any such remedy could be demanded from the President. “The Messege also transmitted copies of the instructions from the Secretaries of Wor aud Navy to their respective forces on the Pacific. 5c7—_—_ oo WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOssIP The Elections —The returns received up tothe heur at which we go to press to-day, from the elections that took place on Monduy lact continue to be exceedingly meagre and unreliable, which is a good sign for the Dem- cerat-. The telegraphing agents are very generaliy opposed bitterly to the Democrats, and we bave rever yet found them anxicus to Procure ard transmit accu:ate election ac- cunts promptly, when satisfied of the defeat of their own side. So far, with very few ex- ceptions, the nominal results received are in gourd numbers; which means that they are but spproximate estimates—not ‘figures copied from the actual rotarns. rowa. The Democrats around us are to-day hoping that, after all, the coalition have not carried Towa. We cannot participate in this im- pression. Because, to believe it, superinduces the belief that Buchanan will walk over the ecurse there m November, where there will be two tickets in the field against him, rather thap one, as at this election. The Democrats bave gained handsomely in Dubuque city and cousty. Inthat city their majority is about 300—a gain of 100 over the last election. Nominal returns from ten counties give Da- vis (Rep.) for Congress, 1,950 majority in the 2d district. The Unton, however, elaims the re-election of Hall, and the probable election of Lefer, (Dems.,) on what data, we know not, as yet. KENTUCKY In Kentucky, it is already clear that the Democrats have swept the State. In the Ninth district, Moore, the Demceratic candi- date for circuit judge, has 525 msjority. In the Louisville judicial district, Duvall, (Dem- oerat,) has been elected jadge of the court of appeals by about 1,000 majurity. The Dem- ocrate have elected their candidate for city marshal in Lexington by 80 mejority The American vote there was 2,457—highest inde- pendent vote 676. The following are the re- ported gains for the Democrats: In Owen 179, Beott 378, Mason 777, Oldham 126, Henry 253 Harrison 232, Hart 87, Pendleton 223, Hender- son 174, Hardin 405, Kenton 340, Boone 42, Grant 200, Nelson 21, in Kenton, Pendleton, Harrison, and Bracken combined, 1,469. An- other account saye that Hardin county has given the Democrats, rather than the Know Nothings, 400 majority. If this be true, which we do not believe, the Democratic gain in that county has been 1,205, instead of 405 as noted above In Woodford, the Know Notbings have gained 254; in Bullitt 31 ; Franklin 18. Another account says that the Know Nothings have gained 443 in Hart county ; we believe it to be a mistake We have other returns fro which we cannot compare with the last gu- bernatorial election (for want of date at hand) when Morehead (K. N.) was elected by 4,400. They are as follows: Democratic meajorities— in Nelson, 200 ; Benton, 356; Newport, (town 70. Know Nothing majorities as follows, vis: Glasgow (town,) 130; Shelbyville (do ,) 110; Frankfort (do.,) 115; Covington, 100. Tn the district composed of Mason, Fleming, Lewis, Nichols, Grenup and Powell counties, Phister, the Old Line Whig and Democratic eandidate, bas beaten Wadsworth (K. N.) for jadge. There are 103 counties in Kentucky; « smsi! portion ouly of which have been defi- nitely beard frem. The compsrisons made above are with the last gubernstozial election. MISSOURI. From Missouri the returns | im doubt. m Kentucky eave every A dispatch insisting that Kennett is re-elected to Congress has been received here We place no faith in it, however; -” the anti-Benton Democratic vote in St Louis is larger than we anticipated. The vote of St. Louis is said to have been Benton 5,139; Polk 2,159 ; Ewiog (K. N.) 4,053; Pike coun- ty 75 majority for Polk; Marion 350 do. for Ewing ; Ralls do. do. 200; St. Charles 200 do, Benton, (St. Charles elects one Whig and one Democrat to Legislature;) Cole county, Polk beats Ewing 300 and Benton beats Polk 75; Howard county 200 majority for Polk; Clinton eounty 150 for Polk. The above returns are very unreliable, though indicating that Polk bas a fair chance for carrying the State. which we by no means anticipated, under the circumstances. P. 8 Wehaves private despatch saying that the Democratic majority in Dubuque city snd county, Iowa, is 600—300 in each. The Hon. L. M. Kennet is assured of his re-election to Congress by his friends, per telegraph. They telegraph that he is cer- tainly re-elected, but by a close vote. If this beso, Mr. Francis P. Blair, Jr., of St. Louis, has not been elected to Congress, and the Republican party ‘“‘jubilations” that have been going un around us for 36 hours past, were shouts before getting out of the woods. Stopping the Appropriations.—The Wash- ington correspondence of the Jourzal of Com" merce says: ‘* Congress is now to make appropriations for the current fiscal—from Ist of July last, to the 30th of June next The Republicans threaten to stop these appropriaticns—that is, they will distress their entire constituencies for the purpose of rpiting President Pierce, whose term of service will ex; on the 3d of March—four months before the end of the fis- cal year They will soon find the absurdity of their position, and abandon it “If the House should be now able to stop the supplies ; net supplies fora monarch, but sup- plies for an elective, representative govern- ment,—not for Mr. Pierce, nor for the South, but for carrying on the government for another year; if they can attempt such an absurdity now, what will they not do at the next session if unfortunately, the next Presidential election fail before the people? They will probably refuse all appropriations, and neglect all ordi- nary and proper legislative business. They will hardly in fact permit the session to close without violence and bloodshed. It is true that on the 4th of March Mr. prekienese would be inaugurated as President; and he would immediately call the next Congress By that time, the country would be pretty well sick of sectional strife and its results, and we might hope for the commencement of a better state of things.” Every word uttered by the writer, which we quote above, has force in the present condition of things. The policy of the Republican party and those Fillmourners who, holding out against Freemont only on account of his late Roman Catholic professions and affinities, are yet bent on abolitionizing Kansas and support Fillmore in the belief that he will prove as serviceable to that end as Fremont, is to get Up as great an excitement as possible, without regard to its probable effect on the business interests of the country Their speeches and votes prove that they are willing to set aside constitution, law, justice and common decen- ey, to carry their points—to vote for revolu tion in the Government of the United States adosen times a day, if by that means they can carry through their purposes. Under these circumstances, we shall not be surprised to find them voting in the end to defeat the general appropriation bill, unless their oppo nents will consent to make it a bill to exclude slavery from Kansas, rather than to provide the means of paying the executive and judi- cial expenses of the United States for the next fiscal year. Missouri—The German newspaper pub- lished in St. Louis—The Wercker (or come other such jaw breaking name) —which is Col. Benton’s organ among the foreign borp popu- lation of the State, refuses to place Buchanan’s Bame at the head of its columns in imitation of the Colonel's own policy, least by so doing (as it avows) it may weaken John Charles Fremont’s prospects. We expect to learn within a week that a Republican party elec- toral ticket has been formed in that State, which will be supported by a portion of those who voted for Benton on Monday last. That is, by those of them who are under the infiu- ence of the clique by whom Benton is person- ally surrounded. They are abolitionists to the core, however vehemently they may for the time being have professed to tupport Bu- chanan in order to cheat the mass of those voting recently for Benton, into votingfor him and for bis nominees for the Legislature. Towa.—It is reduced to a moral certainty that the fusion between the Republicans and Fillmourners of Iowa, in the recent election, is not to hold good in the Presidential elec- tion. We know whet we are writing in mak- ing this declaration. Were it possible to transfer to Fremont the votes of the real Na- tional Know Nothings of the State, the man- aging Fillmourners would doubtless have con- sented to extend the coalition. But they com- prehended the utter impossibility of accom- plishing that end. So they refused to carry it beyond the recent election. Thus, instead of running against a single opposition ticket, as on the late occasion, the Democratic ticket is to have two to contend against in Iowa in November next. The more ; the merrier. A Card.—Mesers. Ridgeway and Pryor, of Richmond, Virginia, met and exchanged shots without effect. We, the undersigned, who arrived on the ground after the fire, then in- terposed, and at our request the challenge was withdrawn. It appearing to our satistaction that the article of Mr. Pryor, which was the cocasion of the challenge, was written under the belief that there was astudied purpose on the part of Mr. Ridgeway to insult him and poe ® quarrel, we recommend that Mr. idgeway disclaim such deliberate jurpose, and that each and every article which was regarded as offensive either by Mr. Pryor or Mr Ridgeway be simultaneously and frankly withdrawn ; and we trust that hereafter those relations of kindness will subsist between them which become gentlemen who have so well approved their ores and honor. . 8.

Gogain, Cuas. Irvine. Ordered.—We understand Commodore La valette (last in command of the African coast #uadrop) bas been ordered to the command of the Washington Navy Yard, in place of Capt. French Forrest, detached to command the squadron on the coast of Brasil. The selec- tion of Commedore L.. for this important and honorable post is, indeed, a Subject of con- gratulation to cur many readers immediately interested in the affairs of the Navy Yard in this city. An Important Accession.—The Hon. Poy. thing j cy Walker last night gave in his adhesion to Buchanan and Breckinridge. His return to the Democratic party was warmly welcomed by the Democrats surrounding him. This oc- ourred during the delivery of his speech. We have barely space to-day in which to an- nounce the fact. A Bot was made in this city last night of $5,000 that Indiana will vote for Buchanan The Indiana Demoorat deposited his money this morning, as peragreement. At noon the. Republican money had not been put up. Mr Bocock’s Card.—The reader will find, on the first page of te'day’s Star, Mr. Bo- cock’s card in reply to the last from Mr. Bur- lingame.

A contraction of bank accommodations now somewhat extend- ed is predicted by the timid, and is assigned as @ reason for continued depression. We perceive no cause for such an apprehension. The issues of the banks are likely to corres- pond with the wants of business in the future, as they do now. The New York Bank statement for last week shows an increase of loans to the amount of $874.947, of specie $417,405, of circulation $259,753, of deposits, $1,482,277. The loans and discounts are $112,221 568, specie $14,- 128,258. deposits $93 847,317. The exports of apesie continue heavy, which is the most serious feature of the market at this time The Persia yesterday took up- wards of a million of dollars. Money is easy for business purposes at about the rates quoted in our last report. LAND WARRANTS have taken another turn downwards. Since our report of the Ist inst. the supply has greatly increased. and prices have declined 3 cents per acre Heavy lots were lying in New York and here limited at $1 per acre, and the market having reached that point during the past few days, this fact, taken in connection with the passage through the House of an- other bill granting one and a half millions of acres of land for railroad purposes, has brought about thesuddendecline. Most of the dealers here and in New York refused to buy yester- day, and others purchased reluctantly at quo- tations. The bill pending before Congress to make land warrants receivable for the re served sections on railroad grants and at pub lic sales, was intended to enhance the value of warrants; but it is now believed by the friends of the measure that it cannot pass this session. The confident belief that the bill would become a law gave great firmness to the market; but holders, now yielding to the general opinion that the bill wiil fail, are throwing their warrants on the market, which tends also to depross prices; and as the de- mand West will continue to fall off until the lands in Kansas and Nebraska are brought into market, and the reserved sections on rail- roads restored, we lock for a further de- cline. Dealers, however, must exercise their own judgment, as the market hss been so spasmodic that it is not in the power of any one to speak with any certainty as to the fu- ture.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to press, the bill to provide for the settlement of the claims of the surviving officers of tho Revolution, and of the widows and children of the officers and soldiers who died in that ser- vice, was reported back by Mr. Evans, and eer Mr. Toombs, against it; it was then laid aside; and Mr. Hunter moved to take up the Army ap- propriation bill; not agreed to. A large number of Internal Improvement bills were then acted on, all of which were passed except the bill to Jolande the harbor of Taunton, Massachusetts, which was rejected —yeas 15, nays 19. A President’s message was next received on the state of affairs in San Francisco ; ordered to be printed 2 The Senate then passed eundry bills of local and individual interest only; and ere ad- journing concurred in the amendments to those Senate District bills that had been re- turned, amended, from the House. In the Houso, the bill granting lands to Mississippi for railroad Purposes was paceed.

In the Senate, to-day, they agreed to meet, for the balance of the session, at 11 a. m. daily. The rest of their session of the day, until the Star went to press, was taken up in usual morning hour business, in the course of which, the only thing of general interest final- ly consummated, was the of the joint resolution for the enlargement of the new Custom House and Post Offise at Detroit, Mic. In the House, a message from the Presi- dent was received covering the Secretary of War's reply to the resolution for information concerning the construction of the Capitol and Post Office extensions; referred to the select committee (Mr. Ball’s) and orderod to be printed. . . Shortly afterwards they went into Commit- tee, (Mr. Richardson in the Chair,) wherein the Naval appropriation bill was taken up and discussed by many members on proposi- tions for its amondment. _ Ooo CAN CONSUMPTION BE CURED? “Can Consumpriox Bz CoRED?—To that por- tion of the human family afflicted with this horrible disease, this is a question fraught with serious import. With them it is a ques- tion of life ordeath. The failure of the medi- cal profession, heretofore, to devise any means for the cure of this disease, has invested it with aterror that accompanies scarcely any other chronic complaint. To assure a man or woman that they had the consumption, was aboutequal to saying, your daysare numbered; you may ag well settle up your worldly affairs, and make your peace with your Creator, for you must surely die with the disease that now afflicts you. Quacks took advantage of this dread in the public mind, and by pretending to be able to cure this frightful disease, gathered golden harvests from the sufferers, while in fact they were only attending them to the tomb. To so great an extent had this species of deception been carried, that the human family began to think that the medical faculty were right in pronouncing this an incurable disease ‘Can Consumption ag Curep? ia still the inquiry of the sufferer, and the poor mortal upon whom this disease has set its fangs, like a drowning man, still catches at every thing that promises relief; and it is well that it is so. Were it otherwise, any great discovery by which disease can be cured would be of no benefit, because the world had come to the conclusion that there was no ase in trying. ‘ Not long since, Dr. Wesley Grindle, a physician of high standing in this city, an- nounced that he had found a remedy which actually cured this horrible disease. State- ments came to us from the most reliable sources of cures which had been effected, and which were still being effected, which were truly startling in their character, and we be- came convinced that there must be reality in his cures, and so stated. Since, we have seen the living witnesses of his triumph over the worst form of disease, and the desire of each and every one of them is, that we should make known this great discovery to the world for the benefit of others similarly affected. “With this evidence before us, therefore, we have no hesitation in saying that PULMONA- RY CONSUMPTION CAN CURED. It 13 NO LONGER AN INCURABLE DISEASB. This is seying a great deal more than we ever thought we we should be able to say, but it rests upon positive proof; and it is due to Dr. Grindle that his discovery should be made known to the world. For the benefit of suffering men and women it should be published in every newspaper in the country. It isashame that the succees of Dr. @. has stirred up the malice and envy of many physicians of the conversative order; instead of this, he is worthy of our highest regard ; and we predict that the secret of this medicine will, in time, be bought up by the profession, and prove an important accession to the healing art, and a specific for the cure of a disease that, perhaps fills more graves annually than any other in the catalogue of ailments. This subject is creating a great sensation among physicians a® well as others, and our advice to consumptive invalids is, that they lose no time in obtaining thisGreat REMEDY. What if we have been deceived heretofore? better be cheated a thousand times by mere nostrum-venders than once reject the means of cure when placed within our reach, and cheat ourselves out of our lives. Though this medicine has been be- fore the public but a short time, immense quantities are already being dispatched by mail and express to many parts of the coun try. ‘For the information of such as may wish to avail themselves of this valuable medicine, we quote the Doctor’s prices, as follows : ‘One box, $3; three boxes ordered at one time, $8 ; half dozen, $14; one dozen, or any number greater, at the rate of $2 a box. ‘The postage in the United States, not over 3,000 miles, is fifteen cents abox. In all cases where the postage must be prepared? the amount should be inclosed in money or stamps. “‘All orders addressed to Dr. W.
