The Union adduces testimony establishing, beyond contradiction, the assertion of Senator Thomson, of New Jersey, that Col. Fremont had notbing to do with the military conquest of California He now stands branded as an arrant pretender to an honor belonging prop- erly to others. The Union looks upon it as somewhat amusing that Capt. Fremont should have a’ ways arrived at the field of battle the day after the action, saying “He arrived at Monterey three days after the surrender of that city to the American navy. He arrived at Los Angeles the day after that city had surrendered to Commodore Stockton. He subsequently arrived at the same city the dey after its final capture by Commodore Stockton and General Kearney, and a few days after the decisive battles fought by those gallant officers ; and, accord- ing to the testimony of the Hon. Mr. Coombs, he arrived at Sonoma the day after the * firet and only battle’ of independence!

The balloting was contin- ued for four days, the Republican and Fede- ral parties having been immovable through thirty five ballots in their original vote for President. The Republicans had eight States, with half the delegations of two other States. The Federalists had six States, with half the delezations of two. The contest was termi- mated on the 17th of February, 1801.”’ ————@-—-.—______ Important to those who serd Election Re- turfs The agents of the Associated Press have issued the following instructione to persons who design sending electicn returns by tele- graph .

The Prospect.—All the world is nervously anxious about the probable result of the eleo- tion to come off on Tuesday next, though every body endowed with a thimblefal of brains is aware that its grand result is to be the triumph of Buchanan end Breckinridge. True, our well informed and ingenious neigh bor still busies himself with calculations to show that Fillmore may be elected by getting the final determination of the contest into the House of Representatives, and wo fear that nothwithstanding cur cautions to the contrary there are nincompoops among his readers who will fool away their money in bets on his heretofore so invariably prophetio judgment {n order to save their moneys for as many of them as we can, we append hereto the caleu- lation of the Journal of Commerce in the premises which strikes us as being correct to the letter, except in the cases of New Hamp™ shire and Vermont. We now confidently ex pect that New Hampshire will vote for Bu- chanan and Breckinridge, and also look for the vote of Connecticut in the same way, though not with the same certainty upon our mind. Information recently received from New Hampshire leads us to the conclusion above expressed. If that State fails to givea majority for the Democratic electoral ticket» our leading friends there are the most com. pletely deceived wen we ever know in their positions in politics: A PresipentiaL Cazccration.—In the fourteen States first mentioned iu the annexed schedule, elections have been held within the last three monthe, which have resulted, roliti- cally, as here recorded. True it does not certa:ai7 follow that they will vote the same way at the Presidential election, though there is not ono of them which we think is less like- ly to go Democratic at the Presidential elec tion than it was at the State election. The next eleven States we regard as nearly certain to vote as they are here classified ELECTORAL VuTES States Democratic, Opposition. lowa.... 4 Arkansaz.. 4 North Carolina 10 Kentucky. 12 Toxas... 4 Vermont. 5 Main see 8 Delaware (1nspecto; 3 Florida...... .... 3 South Carviina . 8 Pennsylvania. . hio..... 23 Indiana 40 Mississippi.

On the other hand, Mr Buchanan has 174 electoral votee, or 25 more than the number necessary to elect him, without counting any of the 65 doubtful vores But giving bim balf of them, which is fair, he would bave a total of 2064, or 574 more than the number necessary tu elect him. General Waibridge. — We are in receipt of aletter from cur ancient friend, Gen. Wal- bridge, of New York city, wherein he denies with much zeal our recent allegation that he had failed to advocate the election of Bu- chananin his speeches of the present canvass, delivered prior to the late Pennsylvania and indiane State clections. ‘the informatiun on which we bused that allegation was derived from some exchange paper, which, we a’ glad thus to learn, hasdone Gen. W. grues in- justice. It puined us more than we ean ex- presa to believe it to be true, as we did forthe time being, for we know few men indeed who owe more than our f:iend Walbridge does to the Democratic party. However much we may be personally attached to a friend, in- gratitude to the Demverstic party in sucha test a3 tho present iz a sin that we cannot overkok. We cheerfully make the amendo to the General for giving ear to that allega- tion, and ask him to hold the Fremont party responsib.e fur our mistake. ‘bey claimed him loudly at this point, as being with them in sympathies, and pointed to the fact of hie intimate business connections with Fremont as furnishing the ground for his silegod polit- ical change. We kuow well that at sucha time as the present it is necetsary that all whe claim the support of the Demooracy should be in all their relations clear of sas ficion of identification with the party of Fre- mont, (he most dangerous organization to the futuro of the country so far known to its bie tory. However much we may be attached to our friend, therefore wo were not sorry to learn that the Democratio convention for his Congressional district had postponed his claims until the death of Fremontisim, soon to occur, will enable bim to stand a canvass in a posi- tion in which no men can cast a ehadow upon the entire integrity of his course as a public man. We learn that another convention has been @alled in his (the third) district, with a view to harmonize the difficulty there. We rejoice to hear it, and trust that the memory of what its Democracy have already dono for him, as well a8 that true patrictisia aud public spirit fur which we have for sv many years given him credit, Will induce him to take one caro that no personal interests of his owa be per- mitted to distract its counsels in a crisis like the present The Boston Congressional Election. —In view of the fact that the Democracy have ap- perently no earthly hope of electing their can- didate for Congress from tbe Boston, Mass., district, it *®ppears to us next to madness on their part that they fail promptly to unite on ry Hon. Wm. Appleton, as against Anson ~Urilogame, than whom no other man is more justly cbnoxious to every man who cherishes the principles for which the Democratic party ace uoW contending from Maine to Washington ‘Territory— for never before were they so united in support of a common and single set of prin- ciples. We tovk since that uo other wember of the United States House of Represantatives had ever been toore cerviceabie in bis sphere (han Mr, A This is a fact known to ali who know the de. tuils tilives of the Ugited Steges, and it challenges wi a aden ee ES SE vucegsion to say « few days’ f the history of the House of Represen- ' contradiction. t gentleman could be more fortunate for the public interest. His capacious mind is better stored with the peculiar clase of commercial information requisite to enable one to legis- late properly on purely commercial subjects then that of any other gentleman who has been in the House in the course of the last deeade, while as a legislator he has on nearly every oocasion carefully refrained from being governed by any political bias §When in Con- gress he possessed great influence, because all his fellow members of all parties confided in the entire integrity of his every view of every subject upon which it was his duty to legis- late ; and all in the hall looked up to him and his opinions on subjects with which he pro- fessed familiarity with, we may not inappro- priately write, veneration. How the Demo- crate of the Boston district can hesitate to vote for him with the choice narrowed down be- tween him and Anson Burlingame, is past us to divine. So, we shall be surprised indeed to learn of Burlingame’s re-election, if it be. as we believe it to be, as at present informed, in the power of the Democracy of Boston to defeat him—Burlingame—by voting fur such @ man as Wm. Appleton. Kansas Lies.—The reader who recollects the statement of the truth concerning the character of the armed expedition into Kan. sas lately stopped by Col. Cooke will compre- hend the mendacity of the lies coined to keep up the Kansas-affairs excitement at the North on perusing the following brief extract from the Kansas correspondent of the New York Tribune “ A wagon loaded with the plunder of the emigrant train adorns the camp of the United States troops close to this place Presiucnt Pierce cught tosend forit It would sclipse the glories of Greytown. The Federal authori- ties are true ‘Buchaneer*’ 1 have gathered a few more particulers of the outrage. While the search of the wagons, trunks and boxes was going on, it was raining, and women and children were compelled to get cut of the wagons and stand in the rain So repulsive was the duty of searching that Col. Cooke bad to detail all the men engaged for the duty himself. Not one of the other officers would have any thing to do with so disrepu- table and lawless a proceeding A letter was drawn up by the other officers (L understand Major Sedgwick, Capt. Sackett with all the other officers under Col Cooke,) denouncing the act: declaring that under the command of each or either of them, such an outrage would not have been performed, and only re- sulted from the misfortune of such officers as the person now in command (Col Cooke) te- ing in the United States army. This docu- ment was presented to the emigrants as the opinion of the other officers, but was not signed. It exonerates many gallant ctiicere from the guilt of this outrage, and also proves that ‘Satan knows his own,’ and employs them accordingly.’’ Never were a band of marauders better treated than these same under Eldridge, Per- ty and Pomeroy, though never did men in their situation less deserve to be kindly treated by the authorities into whose hands they fell. Every account of their capture from the pens of the officers of the United States army under Col. Cooke gives the lie direct to every statement in the extract above quoted. We had supposed that the extent to which the Kansas correspondents of the New York Tribune, Times, and Evening Post have previously carried the art of newspaper lying for political effect unequalled by avy similar achievement of any ege or clime But as exemplified in this last achievement it goes very far ahead of anything else, even from Kanzas, that the world had previously seen Muscoe R. H. Garnott.—This gentioman, the Democratic nominee for Congross in the Accomac District ot Virginia, stands a fair chance of election, we rejoice to be able t? say, notwithstanding the heavy majority by which it (the district) went for Flournoy —- more than 700. His canvass bas been an ex- traordinary one indeed. Rarely have as many 80 able speeches been delivered in a Congres- sional canvass in this country as in his, for bis competitor is one of the first men intellectu- ally emong the opposition in Virginia. As we predicted long since, Mr. Garnett has demon- strated in this canvass that there are in him tue elements fur making one of the first public men of the country at this era We regard his triumph as being worth more to the Democracy, North, South, East and West, un der the circumstances, than aught else we wot of except the election of Buchanan and Breckinridge. Funny Times Ahead !—If the New York Tribune and Times on one side of Fremont’s supporters, and the Hera/d on the other, show signs of hostility to each other already, as they do, they are destined to exhibit wonder- ful things to the reading world ufter Tuesday next, when they will commence quarreling with unexampled fury over the buno they all failed to secure—Fremont’s election. What they used to guy about each other ere they uni‘ed on Fremont will be but ohild’s play to what they will say of each other when Fre- mont’s cause no longer exists to keep them from tearing out each other's entrails Appointments in Revenue Cutter Servics James M.

POLITICAL ITEMS. The Friend, a Quaker journal published in Philadelphia, in its, issue of Saturday last, says :—‘‘ The State elections on the 14th inst in Pennsylvania and Indiana, having result- ed favorably for the ‘Democratic’ party, indi- cate the probable election, next month, of James Buchanan to the Presidency.” The Louisville Journal, the leading Fill- more organ of the South, gives up Kentucky and Tennessee to Buchanan, but of course with a grimace. It says: ‘We were about to say that the rights of the people of Ken- tucky are as feartully endangered as if for- eign foes were in our midst; but the truth is, foreign foes are in our midst—thousands of foreign foes, imported and bribed and guided by Kentucky’s own traitors ’” We hold that honesty in politics, asin every- | thing else, is the best pclicy. We do not be- lieve falsehood is stronger than trath.— Hor- ace Greeley His Practices {Special despatch to New York Tribune. WASBINGTON, Uct. 27, 1856. Colonel Forney sent here on Saturday the most pressing message for more money for the election of next Tuesday in Pennsylvania Without large sums at once (he says) the State is lost to Buchanan, and pussibly (he adds) it is lost atany rate: The Buchaneers are greatly alarmed at the prosese before them. This batch of unmitigated falsehoods, re- peated in three different places in the Tribune of Tuesday, is a fair illustration of Greeley’s honesty. American Board of Foriegn Missions The forty-seventh meeting of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions is now in session in Newark, N J., the Hon. Theodore Frelinghuysen president At the opening on Tuesday prayer was of fered by Rev Dr. Magie, of Elizabeth. Rev Dr Worcester then read the minutes of the last annual meeting of the Board. held at Utica, N. Y., and also of the special meet- ing held March 4th and 5th at Al any ev Mr Pettingill was then appointed as sistant recording secretary of the Board, who proceed to collect the names of its members present The following committee of arrangements for meetings, speakers, &c , was appointed : Rev. Dr. Stearns, Dr. Roland, Dr. Scott, Key. D. W. Poor, and Rev. Mr. Wood The treoeurer’s report was then read by James M. Gordon, Esq , of Boston, the treas- urer of the Board ‘the receipts of the year from all sources have been $307,318 69—- $3,109 less than the previous year The ex- penditures have been $323,000 49; leaving a deficiency of $15,681 80, which, added to the already existing debt of $20,507 90, wakes the present indebtedness of the Board reach $36,189 70. The Treasurer's report, with that of the ad- ditions read by Dr. Worcester, was referred to a select committee. Dr Vomeroy, one of the secretaries of the Board, made a report on the Home Depart- ment, stating that since the last annual meet- ing of the Board, six corporate members have deceased. Four missionaries and three fe- male assistant missionaries have also gone to their final reward. Forty-six missionary la borers—twenty-one males and twenty five fe- males—have been sent to their respective fields. The number of ordained missionaries has never been exceeded in any one year since the Board existed, though the sae dee of as- sistant missionaries has in two or three in- stances been greater Dr. Anderson then stated that the committee of thirteen, appointed to report on the Missions of India, would report on Wednesday, at 1] o’clock, a.m. This report, and the discussion on it, are expected to constitute one of the leading topics of interest during the session of the Board The attendance of members of the Board is very large, and includes some of the most emi- nent divines of the country. ‘The annual sermon was preached in the evening by the Kev.
