The Union speaks in high terms of the speech delivered yesterday in the House hall by Mr. Groesbeck. of Ohio. upon the filibuster question, which certainly marked that gentleman as Jikely to occupy a very high position as a legis- lative statesman, as well as a debater. Few first efforts in the House hall have ever won for honorable members more than that which Mr 43. earned for himself on this occasion. In an able editorial, the (’wion also makes it clear that the position held by President Bu- chanan upon the act of C ominodore Paulding is identical with that vecupied by the Republican party of Congress in 1319, when the question in issue was General Jackson’s nominal invasion of Florida to arrest and hang Arbuthnot and Ambrister. The editor scouts the idea of placing Commodore Paulding and Walker in the same category. The Intelligencer is to-day entirely devoted to news and Congressional matters. 2 a i[7> The Ullman Opera Troupe, in New York, has burst up in consequence of insubordination upon the part of the male chorus.

But the two copies came over different Wires, and while the copy sent to London was ia English, that sent to Paris was in French. This fact shows the importance of the message. The comments of the press upon this document are va- tious. The Debats says that it approaches, more than any previous message, the style of an ad- dress from a throne in Europe. But the Debats is alone in this criticism. iD” A pitched battle between three distinguish- ed politicians and an equal number of gatroters Oceurred in Madison avenue, New York, on Sat- urday night, resviting in the triumph of the for- mer and the complete discomfiture of the latter.

The ee Sa he country, exept the lished in all sections of few notoriously bent on opposing @urreptitious- ly everything emanating from the pregent Ad- ministration, and also the few afflicted with a ebronic insunitydn fuyer of murder, arson and robbery where that can be perpetrated with comparative impunity, ununimoasly hail the positions of this great Siate paper as enforcing, with signal power and effect, the true prineci- ples that should guide the Government of the United States in its intercourse with our weaker neighbors. So unanimous end so earnest is this manifestation of newspaper sentiment. that as is already clear that the President's deelara- tionsand counsels in this connection are destined to he received by American public sentiment at once as the rule which must govern the policy of the Government so long as the principles of its founders on international issues shall eon- tinue to be respected by the country. The practical rebuke embraced in the mes- sage to the labors of those journals ut the South which live on the piquancy of their vituperstive blackguardism and their false pretensions of peculiar devotion to the rights and interest of the slaveholder and the slaveholding States, (the latter put forth merely asa blind behind which they may, without disgusting all repu table persons to the extent of turning their stomachs, gratify their pot-house tastes for brawling personalities, and yet not destroy their subscription lists,) is a crushing one in- deed. Thus, it vindicates triumphantly the wisdom as well as the entire integrity of the Nicaraguan policy of the President that has been indirectly assailed by the few newspapers in question of such unenviable notoriety, just as they have persistently labored since the last Presidential election to destroy public confi- dence in the Administration some of them helped to place in power, by attecking all engaged in the discharge of the eminent dom- oeratic duty of sustaining it, while skulk- ing from the dangerous experiment of throwing off the mask of pretended quasi identification with the political principles they seek to stab in the back. It (the message) has as effectually blocked their game of rendering marder, arson and rob- bery perpetrated against a weak neighboring people popular. as the President’s letter to the Connecticut clergymen blocked the'r previous game of trying to get up an anti-administration democratic organization at the South, on the Kanzas question. Such newspapers labor so plainly for the individual advancement of the desperate political and personal fortunes of persons identified with them—evidently using what they foolishly believe to be popular eries with the bone and sinew of the Southern States only to that end—as that the message has sl- ready as completely tripped up their heels and laid them as flat on their backs in the filibuster imbroglio, as they found themselves after the promulgation of Mr. Buchanan's letter above mentioned, when essaying. though proclaiming friendship for his Administration, to destroy the confidence of the South inits Kansas policy The true interest of the south as involved in this filibuster question is as conservative az her interest in the slavery question. Arguments which justity the right of the stronger to mar- der, burn and rob in Nicaragua, hold equally good in justification of the theft of negro prop- erty under the plea of a higher law than the Constitution and statutes of the United States, and the pretension of a more elevated morality and philanthpophy anda more desirable con dition of civillzation and society than exisis at the South.

Dexver.—Those here who know this ¢e@atleman well personally, place no confidence whatever in the stories from Kansas attributing to bim virtual opposition to the policy of the Democracy and President buchanan upon the Kansas question. He is a man of very few words, the import of which he always weighs carefully. He was iutrusted with the duties of his present position without the slightest fore- knowledge on his part, and has no ambition whatever in connection with their discharge, further than to discharge them faithfully. There was no gentieman here who last summer and fall condemped the fuolish points in the speeches of Governor Walker and his Territo- rial Secretary more emphatically and warmly than did Gen. Denver. Our thorough knowl- oige of Lixcharacter as aman and of his antece- dents upon the Kansas question, satisfy us that his friends here are surely correct in regarding the rumors (on abolition authority so far en- tirely) that he, too, has joined shields with the Topexw-ites, are absolutely and unqualifiedly untrue. Sexsisce Views.—It is rare that we find aught in the New York Herald concerning affairs here to be relied on, though we more rarely open it without finding something start- ling from the Federal Capital. When we do find such information in its columns that is not “bogus” in xome particular or other, we take great pleasure in queting it, if but by way of encouraging that journal to seek to maintain the position it has obtained by wonder-mon- gering. by achange of policy—by obtain reputation for accuracy of statement. We, therefore, transfor from the Herald with plens- ure to the Star's columns the following state- ment concerning the policy of the Government with reference to Central American affairs, and also explanatory of the fact that as that policy is becoming more and more thoroughly under- stood by Southern statesmen in Congress, itis being more and more approved by them : ‘+ Evidently Commodore Panidin - id exceeded hin inatructloge in watt iang a foreign soli, but the Government is disposed to excuse theerror as far as osmible, on the motive.

If they succeed in getting the subject fairly be- fore that body, the result will be that the strin- gency of the law in question will be greatly in- creased. Before the Senate, any such proposi- tion will turn out to be proportionally as weak— quite. Axotner Exanuixe Act.—The Washington correspondent of the New York Courier and Enquirer says that the Hon. H. Winter Davis, of Maryland, has in hand an enabling-act pro- ject of his own for the settlement of the Kansas question. If so, it is very clear to our mind that it will turn out to little more than some scheme by which the interests of Abolitionism in the Territory may be furthered, if adopted The sentiments of no avowed Republican party member are more ardently enlisted in the anti- slavery cause, than are those of Mr. Davis, as is proved by all he has said or done with refer- ence to the slavery question since writing his first newspaper article upon it. Postan CoNVENTION BETWEEN FRANCE AND Avsrria.—France, in a postal treaty lately made with Austria, has agreed to extend the minimum weight of letters from seven and one half grammes to ten grammes—a measure which she has hitherto most pertinaciously re- fused to all other nations.

He turned back, and boidly facing the men, exclaimed, “ft is a pretty thing i gentleman cannot pass alony the bigh way with- out being insulted. The etf-ontery of the fagi- tive was suceessful. The toll-keepers begged his pardon for making what they snpposed was agrievous mistake, and Donnelly pursued his Journey with increased vigor. When within a few miles of Middletown Point, ad when between uwo high picket fences on hh side of the road, he observed a wagon ap- proaching him which he endeavored to avoid iid uot. A few yards before him were two nx loaded with pork, which were being driven to Keyport bya German. Finding there was no hope of eluding the vigilance of the men in the wagon that was fast approaching him, he decided to jump upon the rear pork wagon and endeavor to pass off as the driver thereof. ‘The German was driving the wagon in advance and did not notice this movement on the part of Don- nelly. When the wagon containing Donnelly’s captors came along, the German was saluted and asked what time of the night it was. His reply being satixfactory, their attention was directed to the sham driver in the rear wagon. They asked him some simple question ,and were about driving of without waiting for an answer, when one of them detected Donnelly pulling his hat over his eyes. ‘Thin movement ied them to suspect some- thing. They stopped their wagon, jumped out and secured the prisoner before the latter could. fully realize his situation. It was the intention of Donnellys friends to secrete him at Keyport for some weeks, where it was arranged he should cut his hair, shave off Lis whiskers and dixgnise himself in woman's attire. He was then to enter the service of a friend in the capacity of a do- mestic until a fitting opportunity ocearred for his safe deliverance from the United States.
