EVENING nosASINGTON OFTY: SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Unton, as a picture of “Governor Wise this year and last,” quotes the following: This year, he proclaims— “< Utter opposition to the detestable doctrine of the ehecteioas of ee to prescribe and — fundamental forms of government at heir will, without submission to the sovereign People—a doctrine fit a for slaves, and — wone? legitimists and despots of the 0} Last year, he wrote: “That the people shall, of right, judge for themselves, at the polls, of their own ‘ie law, unless they expressly authorize agents to make and adopt a constitution for them, is a principle for which, as a member of the last Convention of Virginia, I would have contended as strenuous!y as | did for any otber principle of popular soverelynty or of self-government. There was no such authority delegated by the people to the Convention of Kansas. Yet, if, upon pre- cedent, the Convention of Kansas adopts a Rv- biiean form of State government, and reports it to Congress without submitting it to the peo- ple, I ares with Mr. Hunter In accepting it and pee be receive Kansas as a State, slave or free, in Union.’ The Union, further, comments upon Mr. Seward’s Rochester speech, which, it says, contains some of the plumpest and coolest as- sertions of notorious untruth that even this audacious orator ever before ventured upon. The Intelligencer givés ‘a word to the weary of ‘ Kansas Politics,’”” announcing that hereafter it will publish fewer Congressional speeches. ———-2+e- > Gov. Hicks has issued a proclamation des- igvating Thursday, the 25th of November, to be observed in the State of Maryland as a day of Public thanksgiving and prayer. pita ita eek tah Nong Deap.—The victims of the recent horri- bie tragedy in Thirtieth street, New York, wee all alive up to Saturday evening. Mr. Gouldy was Partially conscious a portion of the day, and spoke at times tothose around him. The servany girl, Jobanna, was sinking fast, while the otbers remained about the same as the day previous. ANNIVERsARY.—in New York, on Saturday, the anniversary of the John street church, the first Meeting bouse erected in America, was held. The exercises commenced in the forenoon and continued almost uninterruptedly to a late hour in theevening. Among the speakers were the venerable Dr. Bangs, Rev. J. P. Newman, Rev. J.B. Wakeley and others. The services were deeply interesting. The church was densely crowded. Tux Cuess Matcu.—tt appears from a Paris letter in the Courrier des Etats Unis, that Mr Harwitz was beaten even worse than supposed The letter states that two games had been played, the first resulting in a draw game, and the second in the defeat of Harwitz. Mr. Morphy, there- fore, hed but one more to win, whereupon Mr Harwitz abandoned the contest in despair. His Physician advised him to take this course, fear- ing that his nervous system would not bear the severe excitement of a continuance of the strug- gle. —<$<$<$__. New Treaty Batwees Jaray and tHe Uni- tsp States. —The San Francisco Bulletin of Oct. 5, learns that an important new treaty bas been made between the Governments of Japan and the United States, the latter being represent- ed by Mr. Marris, U 3. Consul at Jeddo. Ason of Captain Tatnall bas left with a treaty for Washington, by way of China direct. By this treaty a new port of entry will be opened to Americans. This port lies in the bay of Jeddo, five miles from the city. Americans are to beal- lowed to travel through any of the ports, which are open to them. It is stated that a Japanese Prince, with a suit of fourteen attendants, wax to depart from Japan forthwith for Washington, via California and Panama. Taz Inpiawa ann K Uexy Stave Dirrti- CULTY.—It affords us great satisfaction. says the Louisville Courier, to announce that, in all Prob- ability, there has been a complete settlement of the late unhappy difculty, growing ont of the capture of Horace Bell, by unauthorized Louis- Ville officers. The delegation which proceeded to Brandenburg on the ferry boat, bad an interview With the citizens of that Place and returned home @ few mornings since. They found that the peo- ple of Brandenburg were laboring under no undue excitement, and acted in the matter with perfect coolness. The understanding was that Bell would be tried in Brandenburg, and reasonable Dail taken. Messrs. Cannon and Austin, and two other gentlemen of New Albany, remained to ac- company Bell bome.

Tae Saurtines or tux Trves.—Mr. W. H. Seward has been compelled to throw hi self, personally, into the current New Yo canvass. To that end he spoke a few dayi since at Rochester, New York; and perhaj yesterday at Rome. He is a very gteat mai all know, carrying on his shoulders all the ficient brains of the Republican party. So much superior are his will and intellect to those of all other members of his party, as that his views and decisions are as clearly the law with his followers, one and all, as those of the Em- peror Alexander with his subjects. He com- mands, and they obey with the alacrity, cer- tainly, of slaves on a Southern plantation, as much as they profess to hate slavery. He is evidently satisfied with the manner in which Stephen Arnold Douglas and his band of trai- torous, disappointed democratio office-seekers and plandermongers have done his work. So well satisfied is he that they have succeeded in detaching a large available wing of the de- mocracy of the North from the doctrines of the Democratic party upon the question of the rights of the South under the Constitution, as that he has at length Loldly announced that, hereafter, the watchword of the Republican party—the magto upon its flag, floating openly in the breeze—is to be the utter abolishment of slavery throughout the United States! Up to this time his party stood nominally pledged against interference with slavery in the South- ern States. Their pretence has been that they only aimed to cireumscribe its extension. But, Mr. Seward judges it at length time to throw aside that mask. The important feature of this change of the position of the Republican party, is the fact that it can so soon avow its purposes only by and through the additional strength Stephen Arnold Douglas and his adherents, North and South, have given it. Heinveighs under the allegation that the slave power have control of the Government and are using it to the detri- meatof the interests of the North, just as Doug las was in the habit of doing the same thing last inter; when, after being notoriously closeted ith him (Mr. Seward), Hale, Wilson, & Co., at his residence in this city, or in Senate commit- tee rooms, he would daily march into the open Senate chamber and make the fight against the phantom “slave power’’ agreed on between them as the day’s programme of the opposition to the Democracy. That Senator Seward is inclined to keep faith with Douglas, is evident throughout the whole of his Rochester speech. Thus, it is clear that he regards his (Douglas’s) re-election as likely to prove the most effective blow to the cause of the South ander the Constitution that can pos- sibly be struck. Ie and Douglas labor for an identical end. That is, “to disenthrall the Government from the grasp of the slave power.”’ We prefer to use their slang in stating their ease, however utter our contempt for their demagogism in resorting to it may be. Douglas proposes that the Democratic party shall hold such a position upon the right of squatters in Territories as will forever render it impossible that another Territory can apply for admission into the Union with a slaveho!d- ing constitution. His part of the performance is thus to crush slavery in the Territories; while that of bis arch, though great, ally, is to throttle it in the State, by means of the power of the Kepublican party. Unlike Douglas, he asks no aid from Vice President Breckinridge, Mr. Orr, Senator Brown, ex-Senator Foote, Mr. Crittenden, Mr. Stephens, or any other Southern man; tor with all his political short- comings. he i. » manly to seek to use South- ern gentlemen to the injury «f their own sec- tion of the Confederacy. He leaves that to be done by Douglas. How far such letters as the latter has extorted from most of them will help him in doing Mr. Seward’s work in the West, is questionable. They generally declare that they only prefer him (Dougls) to Lincoln ; or, in other words, that they would not Swap the devil for a witch. Yet even such manifesta- tions in his behalf give rise to the belief at the North that abolitionism is about to achieve much in the way of Southern sympathy and support, and thus operate as a deadly stab at the cause of the South as involved in the cur- rent slavery controversy. Fituisusterism.—The following prce!ama- tion will be read at this time with no little in- terest. It bears us out fully in the assertion we made some days ago that this Government does not intend allowing our citizens to violate the neutrality laws by invading the territory of a neightoring State with which we are at peace; and that the instructions given to Col- lectors of our ports generally on the occasion of Mr. Walker's former attempt to fit a fillibus- tering expedition from the United States still hold good as a guide for their conduct in the present, or any other similar instance. The specious pretense of ‘‘emigration’’ will be of no avail unless the parties who go to Nicaragua for that purpose first prepare themselves with Passports from the minister or consul general of Nicaragua, resident in the country from which they emigrate : By James Bucuanan, President of the United States of America. A PROCLAMATION. Whereas information has reached me, from sources which I cannot dis-egard, that certain ersons, in violation of the neutrality laws of the nited States, are making a third attempt to set on foota military expedition within their terri- tory against Nicaragus, a foreign State, with which they are at ce. In order to obtain money for equipping and maintaining thix expe- dition, persons connected therewith, as I have reason to believe. have issued and sold bonds and other contracts pledging the public lands of Nic- aregua, and the transit route through its territory, asa mapa for their redemption and fulfilment. The hostile design of this expedition is ren- dered manifest by the fact that these bonds and contracts can be of no possible value to their holders unless the present Government of Nica- ragua shall be overthrown by force. Besides, the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo- tentiary of that Government in the United states has issued a notice, in pursuance of his instr tions, dated on the 271 stant, forbidding t citizens or subje: ts of any nation, except passen- gers intending to proceed through Nicaragua over the transit route from ocean to ocean, to enter its territory without a regular ort, —— by the — M iter or Consul-General the Republic resident in tue country from whence they shail have departed. Sach persons, with this exception, “will be stopped and com- pelled to return by the same conveyance that took them to the country Prom these circum- st. ‘* the inference is irresistible that persons engayed in this expedition will leave the United Sta'es with hostile purposes against Nicaragua. They cannot, under the guise which they have assumed that they are peaceful emigrants, con- ceal their real intentions, and especially when they know, in advance, that (heir landing will be resisted, and can only be accomplished i, an overpowering force. This expedient was suc- ally resorted to previous to the last expedi- tion, and the vessel ia which those composing it were couve’ to Nicaragua obtained a clearance from the Collector of the port of Mobile Al- thongb, after a careful examination, no arms or cananioun of war were discovered on board, yet, when they arrived in Nicaragua, they were founa to be armed and equipped and immediately com- meneed hostilities. The leaders of former Sivest expeditions of the same character have Moog ly expressed their intention to renew hostilities against Nicaragua. One of them, who bas siety been twice ex- peiled from Nicaragua, has invited, through public newspapers, American citizens to @ grate to that Republic, and has designated Mo- bile as the place of rendezvous and departure, and San Juan del Norte as the t to which they are bound This person, who renounced his allegiance to the United ‘States, and claims to be President of Nicaragua, bus given notice to the Collector of the port of Motfle that two or three hundred of these emigrants will be pre- Pared to emba:k from that port about the middle ne Serene ory and other good reasons, and for the purpose ving American citizens who ma have been ly deluded into the belief that they are about to proceed to Nicaragua as - ful emigrants, if ee such there be, from i astrous consequences to which they will be ex.
