: — - i ——= SSS eee a EVENING STAR. Ww AcHINGTON CITY: HIWeTon ¢! MONDAY. <odecceceeees AUgust 11, 1866, sPIRIr OF THE MORNING PRESS The Unzon calls attention to the epeech of Senator Thomsonof N. J , delivered on Satur- day last, reviewing the military careerand gov- ernment financial affairs of Fremont, in Cali- fornia, which that journal publishes. It makes the fur fiy, beyond all question. We have rare- Jy read a more seathing exposure of the hum- buggery of reputation made by intrigue. The Union also notes the fact that Senator Jones, of Tennessee delivered an eloquent and very able speech in favor of Buchanan and Breck- inridge, whom it is bis purpose to support hereafter. We further find in the Union the following extract from the Nashville Union of August 19, 1844, copied into the Washing- ton Globe (Blair’s) of August 31, 1844, in reference to a great Democratic meeting that had just taken place at Nashville : «“ The Hon. Linn Boyd of Kentucky, was to bave addressed the meeting on the second day, but in the progress of the discussion, Maj. A. J. Donelson, who was in the chair in the absence of the president, announced to the meeting that he had just received a note from Mr. Boyd, informing him that an accident in the overturning of a carriage containing his family in the morning—in which, however, no serieus personal injury had been sustained— would prevent him from being present to ad- dress tae meeting. Major Donelson on making this anninciation, called the attention of the meeting to the fact that Mr. Boyd was the distinguished Kentuckian who had charged and proved upen Mr. Clay, in his place in Congress the charge of ‘bargain, intrigue and corruption’ tn the Presidential elec- tion of 1825, and who had been sustatned by his constituents in his course. He, there- Sore, proposed nine cheers for Linn Boyd and the Damewnes of his district.”” Will our amiable, talented and ingenuous neighbor please copy? By s> doing it will realiy shed light on the question—who did ma’ign Henry Clay about “ bargain, intrigue and management?’’—which of lata has been the theme of most of its unfounded azsaults on Mr. Buchanan, The Intelligencer’s editorial columns ara to-day devoted for the most paii to a review of Saturday’s Congressional proce sdings, corres- pondence, &c. oT THE ELECTIONS.

Baie = We age indebted to the Baltimore Sun for all the above dispatches. WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. From Missouri—The Very Latest —We havo a private dispatch to-day from St. Louis from a gentleman in whose judgment we have every confidence, who says tous: “ Polk ig certainly elected Governor. The States’ del- egation in the next Congress stands four Dem- ocrats, two Know Notbings, and Blair’’—who will, of course, be crawfishing back to the Democrats after November, if not sooner. A Character.—Among the most amusing circumstances of the present Presidential can- vass is the fuss which the Republican news- Papers are making over one Philip Dorshiemer, of Buffalo, N. Y., a convert to their party, of course, or he would be, in common with others of his countrymen, the subject of the anathe- mas of many of them on account of the land of his nativity, rather than, as at present, the theme of their unstinted praise. Up to the hour on which it became certain that the pres- ent Administration had determined not to re- appoint him postmaster of Buffalo, from which Office (under the Polk Administration’s ap- pointment) its predecessor removed him, he was the very loudest-mouth Democrat in his professions among the horde who swarmed to Washington on the accession of Pierce. From the stoop of Willards’ hotel he would preach, by long hours, to any and every body, about the importance of his services to the Democ- racy in the last canvass, and his remarkable influence over the Germans throughout the Great West. The real English of the broken English in which he was accustomed on such oceasions to deliver himself, tothe annoyance of those whom he held by the button-hole and the infinite amusement of the constitutional wags about town, (who at length listened for the delivery of his daily half jeremiad and half stump speech in gibberish regularly, as the standing joke of the season,) was, that he was about the most important man west of the Alleghanies; and that not to satisfy him would be to throw off from the support of the Ad- ministration the whole German-born vote of the country. He was refused, perhaps more than anything else on account of the impu- dent swaggering which at times characterized his office begging, and the mean servility that marked it at other times. He has fairly kept his promise of undying hostility to the Democratic cause, unless ‘ de Demogradic bardy’”’ would give him office. Hundreds now in Washington remember well his behavior when seeking office here to have beon just as we describe it; while, perhaps, thousands in and about Buffalo are equally well aware that the origin of his Republican- ism is his disappointed solfishness. The Re- publican press of New York are just now ma- king a great fuss over a letter from his pen, wherzin he professes to have changed his politics from honest, honorable, and patriotic motives. Their lavish praises of this Swiss bring forcibly to our mind the scenes to which we refer above, on which we took occasion to comment when they occurred, to the infinite amusement of our readers. His system of Office-secking was so sublimely impudent at one moment, so mean at another, and so dis- gusting throughout all its phases, as to haye offered us about the very fairest mark for il- lustrating the ruling passion of the small beer politicians of the day, which it has been our fortune to point pen at since mounting the Star's tripod. He is essentially a poor devil, politically, this “‘ honorable”’ Philip Dorshie- ner, and will abuse the Republicans after they have used him, if they have anything what- ever to give, quite as roundly as he now abuses the present Administration. For, we take it for granted, they by this time know him too woll to take him at his own valuation of himself ; or, in other words, to bestow office on him. The Sectional Candidate.—The most child- ish subterfuge of the hour to avoid the point of the serious charge that the Republican party is essentially a scctional organization, and on that account is exceedingly dangerous to the future pea:e of the Union, if not to its much longer duration, is that both the Presi- dent and Vice President have heretofore been elected from the same section of the Union without the generation of consequences such as are predicted from the election of Fremont and Dayton. There never was before in the field a great party formed upon the single principle of warring on the guarantied consti- tutional rights and the interests of a section of the Confederacy; which is the real element of the so great danger to the Union to flow from a triumph of the Republican pagty. It is not because Mr. Fremont isa citizen of New York, and Mr. Dayton a citizen of New Jersey, that such apprehensions grow out of the possibility of their election; but because they bear aloft a banner inscribed with death to the constitu- tional rights and interests of the South; be- cause their followers, without exception, preach throngh the press and from the stump vehement abuse of, and bitter hatred to, all things Southern, proclaiming that they eeek to elect them only that they may reduce the South to a system of vassalage to the North, wholly unknown to the principles of the Con- stitution of the United States, and to the pur- poses for which the South came into the Con- federacy. To suppose that the South will remain in the Union with its government in the hands of pereons professing the sentiments and aims characterising the speeches of nearly every Republican in Congress who has spoken in the course of the session on the slavery ques- tion, will be to conclude that it (the South) is dead to all sense of self-preservation, and is willing to court a fate almost precisely par- allel with that which British abolitionism brought on the British West Indies not long since. We know that it is fashionable for Republican party orators to protest the pur- pose of keeping hands off slavery in the States But we also know that nearly every Republi- can speech is made up of the bitterest ha- tred towards the South, <f flerce denunciation of the South, of arrogant assumptions of supe- tiority to and over the South, and of pleas in favor of the existence of power in the North to work out the very purposes against the South which they (the Republican orators) hypocriticelly protest they do not entertain. The South has seen too clearly in the legisla- lation of this cession that neither the obliga- tions of justice, trath, law nor constitution, afford the slightest barrier to their efforts to earry into practice their Peculiar views upon the slavery question, to fail to sesk Promptly to protect themselves against the certain con- tingencies of a Republican party triumph in November next. 4 The Independence.—We have arccttnin:3, by icquiry atthe Navy Department, that tLeir latest advices from Valparaiso are only to the 3istof May. The returns to the Bureau of Provisions show that the ‘‘ Independence,”’ on sailing from San Francisco, had on board fudi rations, sufficient to last unti] June 30th for the number of men then drawing rations Though the ship had not arrived at Valparaiso Qs soon as was anticipated, there is not yet cause for much apprehension with regard to her safety. Another Veto.—We give below a copy of the message of the President this mowing transmitted to the House of Representatives, returning a bill “ for continuing the improve- ment of the Desmoines Rapids in the Missis- sippi river. The reasons assigned are the same as those previously given by President Pierce in messages to Congress, He holds that the Federal Government has no power to make the appropriation because the work is local, not national, and is part of a general system of internal improvements which two National Democratic Conventions have sol- emnly declared ‘‘Congress has no power to commence and carry on.’? We congraulate the country upon this act which gives renewed assurance that there is at the head of the Re- public @ statesman who has the intelligence to appreciate and comprehend, and the cour- age to defend the sacred guarantees of the constitution. To the House of Representatives : I return herewith tothe House of Represen- tatives, in which it originated, a bill ontitled “an act for continuing the improvement of the Des Moines Rapias, in the Mississippi river,” and submit it for re-consideration, be- cause itis, in my judgment, liable to the ob- jections to the prosecution of internal improve- ments by the General Goveiament set forth at length in a communication addressed by me to the two houses of Con, on the thir- teenth day of December, 1854, and in other’ subsequent messages upon the same subject, to which, on this occasion, I respectfully refer.

The Condition of the Business.—Those who anticipate necessity for an extension of the present session of Congizss beyond the 18th inst., to grow out of the state of business in their hall, aroin error. it has besn some years, wo believe, since the general business was more forward at a coi. esponding period of the session. A wi'liol effort to defeat the gon- oral appropriations, on the part of the Repub- licens, can alone create a nr 2ssity for a posi- ponement of the time fixed for the end of the ressiou.

The Alton (Ill.)

Mr. Haley’s church offers to bet his pew (cli- gibly situated, and valued at $100,) against a pew in Rev. Mr. Norton’s church, on the re- sult of the general election in November.”’ The Richmond Enquire says: The suppor- ters of Fillmore in the South belong to two very distinct classes of men. The one consists of the busybodies, the wireworkers, the cow- boys and Dalgettys of the Know Nothing party—men who are found about court houses and other vill and places of public resort, who have tried all means of getting along and failed at all, and who, finding themselves in- capable of managing their own affairs, feel confident that they are fitted to manage those of other people and of the nation. This is the officeseeking and active portion of Fillmore’s Southern friends. The other claas of Mr. Fill- more’s Southern friends are Old Line Whigs, weil to do in the world, lazy, amiable, selfish good natured men, who would not epoil their digestion to save the nation. They think Fill- more is too timid to do anything rash or pre- cipitate, and that he will temporize and eep off violent change, disunion or revolution whilst they live; and, good natured souls, they are ready to let posterity and the rising generation take care of themezelves CounreRFeITs.—All persons are cautioned against purchasing any of the “Bau or Taousanp Frowers,” unless each label is signed by Fetridge § Co.
