We are not sorry to see the mad presistence of the House im the true develop- ment and defence of tho principles of Black Republicanism. Let the Senate send the is- suo befors the country, and let the country decide, once for all, whether wo are expected to live under the rule of a French Convention or an American Congress ”’ While wo endorse every word the Mercury says of the character and tendency of the ac- tion of the Republican majority of one in the House, we are not prepared to counsel the cessation of efforts to counteract the revolu- tionary schemes of that majority, more espe- cially while it remains apparont that if all friends of the Constitution in its present emer” gency who are not paired off wero in their seats, as they should be, the bill could bo passed, over the partizan opposition of the Re- volutionary party. Itis the duty of the anti-revolutionists of Congress to leave no offort of theirs unessayed at any inconvenience to themselves, person- ally, to pass the bill without the proposed rider. Otherwise, whenever abolitioniem de- sires to make a new point against a featuro of the Constitution, a law, or a fundamental principle of the Government, they will resort to their present expedient of stopping the sup- plies. It is far easior to check the success of such schemes ere one of them shall triumph, than after they shall have found that they can thus force the Senate and Executive to bow to their will. The legislation of the House yesterday resulted in a practical prom- iso that the Revolutionist party will be inglor- iously worsted in their present congressional contest; and to abandon the field to them at this time, it etrikes us, would be not only im” politic but seriously disastrous to the cause of the preservation of the Union.

The whole are gross fabrications ; there is no foundation for any of them. “The only applications made were by in- dividuals po bat me to send a force with them to recover property they alleged to have been illegally taken from them. I referred them to the civil authority for redress; but toid them if the civil authority found itself too weak to enforce its writs, assistance would be furnished them. There have been two such applications by individuals, and one for an escort to accompany him to the judge of the United States court of the Territory, (about three miles off ;) but as he rode by the judge’s door to come to me, I declined, as he evidently was not sincere in his application. . “The troops have not done any act since I have been here that looked the least like any attempt'to interfere with acitizen, except that of guarding the prisoners charged with trea- son, and in the eustody of the marshal.”’ Copy of a letter from Brevet Major General BF F. Smith, commanding department of the West, dated Fort Leavenworta, Aug. 11, 1856. Corove: I have received a letter from Gov. Shannon, asking me to take the field with the whole disposable force in the Territory to prevent the ingress of ‘‘ Lane’s party’’ by the northern boundary of the Territory The in- formation given to the governor has been 80 exaggerated, and is, to my knowledge, so in- gorrect, that I decline making a movement tha; ‘sould iptroduce as much disorder as ex- isted six weeks ago. Captain T. J. Wood, With his con™0ny of Ist cavalry, is upon the northern fron. ¢T; and I shall depend upon his reports to govern ™Y action. = Some of the com,”4nies along the Kansas were sent by the comm.“84ing officer there, at the governor's request, to break up camps of armed men at several placc® he designated. On the arrival ofthe troops at the points desig- nated, not only were no camps found, but none had ever existed there, or anywhere else in their neighborbood I know that each party is trying to engage the action of the treeps in expelling their adversaries, and I place no dependence on the reports that do not come from what ! consider good authority. The Indiaad prisoners under tho care of Lieut. Wheaton, Ist cavalry left to any ho will take them to Fort Kearney, and thence Captain Steuart, Istcavalry,will conduct them to Fort Laramie. They had gotsickly, and so impatient, that I promised to let them go after the 10th, and having heard nothing of Major Jobnston and his recruits, I sent them cff to- Approaching a Result.—When tho House adjourned yesterday the impres:ion provailed sround the hall that the appropriation bill would pass without a rider. This belief was the result of the arrival in Washington of Messrs. Harrison, of Ohio and Wells of Wie- consin, both of whom are understood to be op- ponents of legislation for political effect in the enactment of bills appropriating the means of carrying on the Government of the United States. If all the friends of the proposed po- litical legislation in such connection, who, being present are also “paired off,” respect their obligations under such arrangements, wo do not see what isto prevent the passage of tho bill to-day, as explained above; as its sup- porters should be in one majority in the hall, allowing its opponents the vote of the Spoaker Nevertheless, thoro are so many contingen- cies that, happening, may affect tho result, as that we regard the issue as being still quite uncertain, in view of the continued absenco of Messrs. Puryear, Read, Ready, Keitt, and one or two more friends of the bill without pair- ing off Discharged.—The War Department has felt compelled to discharge tho mechanics em ployed in the Washington Arsenal, and, we take it for granted, at allthe United States armories and arsenals in the country. The order to that effect was communicated to thoso in this city immediately interested yesterday afternoon. The appropriations for their em- ployment have been exhausted, and the De partment has no means at its command with which to pay them longer, and will have nono unti) the army appropriation bill shall become alaw. This necessary stop will of courso pru* duce much inconvenience, if not actual dis trees, inmany worthy familic-. It is sincerely to be hoped that the Department’s dilemma may be cured to-day by Congress. 1n Spring- field, Maes., there are at least a thousand souls who rely upom payments for such labor on Gov- ernment account for their daily bread, while there aie also a large number of tradesmen: outside mechanics, &c , &e., who will be se- riously cramped in their businoss by the ne- cessity which the House has imposed on the Executive branch of the Government in this matter. The Hon-Paid Interest.—Our brief néws by the arrival cf yesterday from California, tells of great excitement there over Palmer, Cook & Co.’s failure to pay over the interest due on the debt of the State and the city of San Francisco. Long since we explained that the plea of the agents of that house on this side, that they are no longer the agent; to make the payment in question had no foun- dation in truth; and further, that the money to pay the State’s share of this missing inter. est had been paid over to Palmer in person, and was by biw carried frou the State seat of government down to San Francisco. We were as correct in that statement asin the explana- tion we gave at the same time of the use to which that Houso are enid to have put the trust fund, viz: spending it in electioneering for Fremont. The Prospect—The Very Latest —When we left the Capitol at 14 p. m to-day, the prosg:ot for the termination of the called ses_ sion to-day had vanished. The revolutionists polled a heavier vote than before, and defcat- ed the motion to recede by four majority. Mr. Sabin who was absent without pair, hav ing returned to Washington. Wo trust, and now believe, that the oppo- nents of the scheme of revolutionizing tho Government of the United States will never leave their posts in the Capitol so long as their functions Icgally exist, without compassing the defoat of the nefarious political Plan o¢ their oppencnts. The Only Bemcdy —If the called session te,minates to-day without the enactment of the army appropriation bill, the President will baye the power, wo presume, to call cut the militia, to be employed where their scr- vices may be necessary for the common de- fence. In the matter of the Kansas troubles, as he will have at his command no means of paying for their transportation, it strikes us that the oply militia that will bo avajlablo Will bo thosa residing immediately on tho borders of the Territory—the militia of Mi - souri and Iowa. day.

Florence —Learning that the Democratic Congressional Convention for the district represented by this gentleman ig scon to meet to make a nomination for the next Congress, we take the liberty of saying to them that if they purpose to study the in- terests of their constituency in selecting their candidate, they had better Iet well enough alone. Mr. F., who is a very industrious man and devotes himself wholly to looking after the particular interests of his immediate con stituents which are often under consideration in Congress and before the Exccutive depart- ments, is now thoroughly experienced in the best modes of carrying all peints here which it is his duty to carry if he can Tt will take any cther gentleman, who might be elected to fill his place, years to ac- quire the information concerning matters and things here necessary to enable him to take as good care of bis constituents’ interest as Mr. Florence does. He is, besides, a great favorite with his fellow-members, because he is a frank and generous hearted gentleman in bis ixter- course with all, having earned the ill-will of no one in Washington, in or out of Congress. We have repeatedly known instances wherein vital interests have be2n ruined in Congrees by displacing energetic, popular and expe- rienced members to make room for othere, who, of course, have to commence to obtain their Congressional education on ousting such gentlemen as we describe above While so doing their constituents are, of course, pay- ing the piper, through the loss.of propositions which their new representatives foil to work through Congress.

Mr. Clayton's joint resolution for the ap- pointment of a joint committee of thirteen from the House and seven from the Senate to con- sider and report on the whole subject of disa- greoment between the two Houses upon the Army appropriation bill, was debated at great length by Messrs. Benjamin, Seward, Douglas and others, ere they adjourned to meet at 11 a. m_ to-day, in order to respond to the purpose indicated by the House of bring- ing the called session to a closo to-day, if pos- sible. In the House, Mr. Chaffee asked leave to introduce an army appropriation bill providing merely for the exgenses for the War Depart- ment propor—arsensls, armories, sutveys, ar- mament and fortifications, without reference to the army operations. ; Mr. Phelps and Mr. Giddings objected, and leave was not grantcd. Mr. Wakeman’s resolution offered yester- day, to stop the pay of thoro members who re- fused to vote, or who had “ psired off,”? was tabled Mr. Williams offored a rosolation, which was adopted, providing for the adjournment of Con- gress, the Senate concuning, on Thursday, at three o'clock. a Mr Wheeler offered a resolution instructing the Committze of Ways and Means to report the bill which he presented, being essentially the same, with the omission of the Kansas pro- viso, as that heretofore acted on, for the sup- port of the army. The Committco to have leave to report at any time The bill Paving been read in part, Mr. Stanton raised a point of order that the bill could not bo considered—two bills for the same object having been already defoated. The Speaker overruled the point of order The vote was taken on seconding the de- mand for the previous question. The Speaker voted inthe negative, thus making a tie, in which caso the question was lost. Mr. Washburne, of Maine, saying that he intended to debate the resolution, 1t went over Mr. Vale then introduced the same resolu- tion; but it appearing that ho had borrowed it from tho clerk’s desk, the Speaker ruled it out of order. A message was received from the Senate in- forming the House that it further insisted on its disagreement to the amendment of tho House tu the Senate’s amendment, (which lat- ter strikes out the Kansas proviso,) and asking a committee of conference. On motion of Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, the House further insisted, and a committee of conference was appointed, consisting of Messrs. Campbell of Obio, Stephens and Sherman. Tho House adjourned until this morning at 10 o’clock, in order to finish up tho business of the session eller, and Wright—33 aca’ eae county, on Saturday next, at one o’clock.— Speeches from soveral eminent Democrats may be expected. Ex Gov. Reeder addressed a large mecting at the Tabernacle, in New York city, on Tues- day evening, to raise funds for Kansas. He seit he wanted 5,000 men and $200 a piece to pay them with, to say nothing of rifles for them to shoot with. After his address, over $2,000 were subscribed. Mr. Gerrit Smith has been writing a letter declining to withdraw his name as a candidate for the Presidency, in which ho claims that although some few radical abo'itionists may cast their votes for him, ‘‘no other equal num- ber of persons are doing more than they to swell the flood of anti slavery feeling on which alone Col. Fremont can be carried into the Presidency.”’ Sufficient returns have been received from Texas to show that the Democratic nominees for Comptroller, Treasurer and Attorney Gen- eral, on the State ticket, have been elected by large majorities Chief Justice Hemphill had no opposition, and Judges Wheeler and Lips- comb, for Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, are far ahead of Gencral Jennings. At the recent American mass meeting in Lawrence, Mass., says the Boston Bee, the resolution endorsing Fillmore was reconsid- ered and indefinitely postponed, by a vote of jast two to one. The whole strength of the Fillmore forces was present, and the result may be considered a fair expression of the Amorican party in Lawrence. The Democrats of Maine had alarge gather- ing in Bolfast on Saturday, 23d. Eloquent speeches upon general politics were made at tho court-house by Hon. E K Smart, and at Peirce’s Hall by Hon. Nathan Clifford, Hon. Henry Ingalls, and Hon. J. W. Bradbury. Messrs. Farley, Babson, Ayer, and other dis- tinguished gentlemen were on the stand. Tho Boston Atlas of Saturday says: ‘ Af- fairs have assumed such an appearance in Massachusetts, that unless wo have at once a union of all Fremont men, ‘st ts very pos- sthle that the Stata may give her electoral vote for Jamcs Buchanan.’ * * * We say plainly, that up to this time, there has been no union of the Fremont forces in Mas- sachueetts ; that there has been only folly, wrangling and dissention ; that we have lost all power of exercising any influence upon our sister States.” The Milford Beacon, an old established newspaper published in the town of Milford, Kent county, Del , heretofore neutral in PpC- litical affairs, is out for Buchanan and Breck- inridge, and the whole Democratic party. The editor feels that while the neutral and Know Nothing papers of the North are all coming out for the abolition candidate, it bravely be- comes the duty of all true national men to unite on Buchanan for the anke of the Union and the preservation of our Republican insti- tutions. Bigelow, in his Fremont romance, says : ‘His eyes (Fremont’s) are blue and very large, his nose aquiline, his forehead, over which his brown curling hair is parted at the centre, is high and capacious ”’ He neither smokes nor chews, and seldom “takes a drop’? He was so pious when a bo: that he used to fatigue people by reciting Bi- ble verzes to them, and all his folks thought he would certainly bea minister. He never attempted to fight a duel except in defence of s mebody he loved better than he did himself, anduses no naughty words. He is kind to Jossie and her children, and goes to the Epis- copal church. Who can deny that these char- acteristics qualify John C. Fremont for the office of chief magistrate of the United States of North America. “17° Chelera now Is net confined te locality, but spreads Wis dread wings over all people.
