BRYAN GALLERY OF ONRISTIAN ART—S43 Broad war. ‘The Nebraska question was again the grea! theme of debate in both the United States and State Se- nates yesterday. In the former body, Mr. Wade, of Ohio, made along speech in opposition to Judge Donglas’s bill, and was followed by Mr. Jones of Tennessee, in eupport of that measure. A vote was then taken on the motion to strike out that portion which provides for the supersession of the Missouri compromise, and it was defeated by only thir- teen yeas to thirty-one nays. A desu'tory debate ensued, in the course of which General Cas made the important assertion that he believed “ the Missouri compromise was unconstitutional, aud would say so.’ A very full report of the leading speeches, including sketches of the spoxtaneous remarks elicit ed thereby, will be found under the proper head. Our State Senate, afer a lengthy controversy, re- jected the resolutions proposed by the silver gray whigs as substitutes for those offered by Mr. Dickin- son in behalf of the free soil whigs. On motion of Mr. Putnam, the first three resolutions were stricken out, and another inserted, which, in effect, remon- strates against the adoption of the bill now pending in Congress, for the reason that it will annul the Missouri compromise act. This was carried by the casting vote of Lieutenant Governor Church—the yeas aud nays being thirteen each. A large amount of busi: was transacted in both houses of Congress yesterday, to which we cannot refer in detail for want of space. Reoorts were made by the Military Commiitees in favor of ng gold me jals to the captains of the Uhree Bells, Kilby and Antarctic, as tokens of gratitude for their humane efforts in saving the lives of the persons on board the sinking steamer San Francisco, and also to place a gum not exceeding one hundred thousand dollars at the disporal of the President, in order that he may appropriately reward all who parti- Cipated in the rescue. The Speaker laid be- fore the House a large number of communica’ tions from the Exeontive Department--among them reports thus far received from the ‘al parties authorized to explore different lines with the view of enabling government to decide upon the best route for a railroad to the Pecific. In submitting these documents, the Secretery of War remarks that they are all so partial, and st the sume time so incom plete, that he should have preferred retaining them unti] they had been made more perfe The Com- mittee on Post Offices reported bills to annul various Ocean postal contracts, and to authorize the Secre- tary of the Navy to purchase the Collins, Liw, and Aspinwall steamers. Military Commitee re- ported a bill, w! » among other things, against the practice of army officers becoming in terested in contracts for supplies. Preliminary action was had en a great many bil in our State Legislatore yesterday, but none of any importanee passed. The Senate spent considerable time in C tee of the Whole on the bill for the Suppression of intemperance. From ‘appearances, our legislators are bec ig wore carefal in tue handling of this measure. They are already begin: ning to remove some of its mere restrictive features, and by the time they hay sluded their labors, our readers may not be surpr’ to find that ft is a very moderate law. See tle regular report of the pro- ceedings, and the despatch from our special corres- pondent.

Seven steamers, together with several Darges, were entirely destroyed, with their cargoes, consisting principally of flour, cotton, and provisions. Bat this loss of property, which is supposed to amount to nearly ove million of dollars, 1s a mere cypher when compared with the awfal destraction of human life. Thuis is the third catastrophe of the kind that bas oceurred in the South in the space of eight daye, viz.;—Some sixty persons perished by the burning of the steamer Georgia at New Orleans on the 28th ult, four negroes by the burning of the Eegie on the Chattahooche river on the following Monday, and on the ensuing Saturday fifteen or twenty more negroes by another conflagration of boats at New Orleans. This will be traly classed by future bistorians as the era of horrible disasters. The Cemocrats of the Eighth Cengroasional dis’ of Pevnsylyania have elected Mr. J. #.

The more we inquire into the history, the facts, the intrigues, the stock-jobbers, the wire- pullers, the scene aud the treasury blood-suckers connected with that monstrous | abortion called the Gadsden treaty, the more are we inclined to the deliberate judgment that it isa grand plundering operation against the treasury of the United States. The description which we give in another | part of this paper of the God-f forsaken, and most h conntry for which Gen.

It will be useful to thes: in the event of this treaty being submitted to the Senate for its The geography of this new territory, as it will be seen, is minutely detailed from the obser 1s of the official chief of the late boundary commission, Mr. Bartlett. Our description, therefore, may be regarded as an count of the country by the officer of the government, detailed expressly for that ob- ject among the other duties of his commission. If any body can tell us what we are to make of this new territory except a common place of refuge for the final extinction of our Indian tribes by starvation, we shall be glad to hear it, The swamps of South Carolina, the pine barrens ofthe Old North State, the sterile sands of New Jersey, the wiudy waste of Coney Island, the great plains which flank the Rocky Mountains, withorft a tree within reach of a telescope, are like the Garden of Eden in beauty and fertility contrasted with this Daate’s “ Inferno,” of the Gadsden treaty. Here and there a scanty stream, issuing from the defiles of volcanic mountains, waters for a short distance the sel- vage of a little valley, and then sinks in the absorbing sands. Tere and there, along these scanty streams, is a ragged Mexican settlement, protected by a detachment of ragged Mexican soldiers against the fierce Apache». If there is gold in this territory it has yet to be found; if there is anything in it but starvation to man and beast, it has yet to be discovered. Practi- cally it would be an advants to Mexico to give us this Gadsden country, and twice as much more of the same sort, as a free gift and a good riddance. Why, then, this chuckling among the administration jourvals over the ken, man- ble desert tract of isden has contracted wtifleation. oficia treaty which exacts an equivalent of twenty millions of dollars? hi We shall explain. First of all, the treaty requires that the Pacific railroad shall pass through this desert waste of Chihuahua and Sonora. And upon this point we find a grand combination of railway stock-jobbers leagued together in a sort of holy alliance for the spoils, with one or two of the leading spirits of the Cab- inet up tot very chins inthe grand specula- tion. The ratification of the treaty fixes the rail- road route; and without buildivg a mile, or in- vesting a dollar, the parties interested may sell out their right, title, and interest for millions of money. Secondly, tive millions go to the relief of the Garay league, the Hurgous asso- ciation, the Benjamin copartnership, and other Mexican claimants connected with the Tehuan- tepee scheme and other projects. Upon this point we are informed that Gen Gadsden must have forgotten the verbal instructions of Marey, or that he confounded them with the instruc- tions of the Tehuantepee people, and that hence the Marcy division of the Cabinet are not satis- fed with the general result, though it is just the thing for Davis, Cushing, and company. Marcy appears to have been left out of the holy alliance, whence, we presume, the delay in sending this precious piece of “South Carolina diplomacy” to the Senate. Hence, too, the im- pression that Gen. Gadsden will be finally seat back to try for a more plausible bargain—for a treaty which, upon its face, will not betray so brazenly the joint stock conspiracy involved against the public treasury. The third and most conspicuous feature of this splendid “specimen of South Carolina di. plomacy, in their innocent ignorance of the subject. third and principal feature of the cash equ lent, is the item of fifteen millions for the relief of Santa Anna; three millions down, upon the ratification of the compact, for his immediate In respect to this brauch of the ject we understand Gen. Gadsden was care fully posted up before bis departure to \ by Sante Anna’s minister Gen. Almonte, at Washington. Upon the whole, it appears that the treaty is the result of the s of the Southern Pacifie Rail 1 by the Davis aud Cush- ing section of the Cabinet; of the Tehuantepee holy alliance of stock-jobbers, (the Sloo com, pany included—their share being the sole ocew pation of the Tehuantepec route.) and of the exican mi r Alu The result is per- fectly consistent with the schedule ot the par- ties represented. The railroad route is secured the Tehuastepeckers are provided for, and Gen. Santa Anna is to have the necessary means for eustaining bimeelf and enforcing the due fulfilment of all the rest of the bargain, But, consideriag the desert character of the to be ceded us,the howling wilderness ch we are to pay twenty millions 1 lering the Pacific railroad alliance, the Tehuantepec combi ation of speilsmen; and the facts the natare of the subsidies for the relief of Santa Anna, we cannot avoid the im- pression that this Gadsden treaty is a diplo- matic humbug of the first water, and that it covers a string of log-rolling schemes for ex- fons from the treasury or so-called by the Charleston journals the nec ssities. d special fave nie, country ani tracting untold the pockets of the peo But the hangs fire in the C it somewhere.

But the announcement falls dead upon the pub- lic ear. It creates no confidence—it gives no satisfaction to any party or political faction. | The hard shells distrust the intelligence, and | the soft shells detest it. ‘The fact is, ifthe ad- ministration could defeat the bill of Douglas without running some risk in the South, they would not hesitate to do it. There seems to be a prevailing opinion, however, that, do what it may, this admivistration, from the discordant free soil and secession materials of the Cabinet, and the free soil entanglements of Gen. Pierce, will in the end be broken up, root and branch, upon this ugly Nebraska question. Meantime, John Van Buren, it seems, is cast- ing bout him for anchorage. He has, it is re- ported, tried ex-Senator Clemens, one of the kitchen cabinet, to induce a hold-up against Douglas. But it has failed. The Prince, having | heard, no doubt, that Gen, Cass had not been | converted by the Cabinet, nor yet by Doug! Ag, | in this business, has even condescended to over- | tures of peace with the Senator from Michigan, | The result bas not transpired; but we sus- | pect that the General has not forgotten the Free Soil Abolition Democratic Buffalo nomi- | nation of 1848, and the congequent election of | General Taylor. It is hard to forget a bit of friendship of that kind. Still, these overtures of Jobn Van Baren are full of significant fore- shadowings. They indicate a free soil split in the Cabinet among those very elements which lie at the very basis of the present free soil Cabinet spoils coalition. Such a contingency at such a crisis as this would be fatal to the administration. See how it has fallen already. For instance, the elec- tion of General Pierce was supported by all the newspapers of this city, excepting the Tribune and the Times, the greater and the lesser Sew- ard organs. And now, within a year of General Pierce's inauguration, we find his administra- tion left here to the defence of such smail fry as the Evening Mirror, the Morning Star, and the Yay Book, each circulating some six or seven buudred papers, scarcely sufficient to pay in their distribution the expenses of a single ragged newsboy. Even these little satellites are only secured by such small allow- ances of government papas may serve to eke out their wretched existence. At this rate, with the rebellion of John Van Buren and his faction impending, in less than ayear General Pierce will be Tylerized, and a proper subject for another Baltimore Tyler Convention, Tre Wan on THe Five Ports AND ornEn Sva- sects or Cuariry——Casa Recetvep at THis Ortice.—We have received various apptica- tions from the religious belligerents at the Five Points, inviting us to take a hand in the war. But we are a neutral; and shall con- tinne to occupy the position of a neutra!— an armed neutral—until we can satisfac- torily ascertain which side is right and which is wrong. Meantime, the war rages like that between the Turks and Russians, and we are besought by both sides to take one side or the other. Among other papers we have received a long communication from Mr. James Redpath, who has been furnishing other jour- pals, from time to time,with his peculiar contri- butions in support of the cause of public moral- it Dut as we desire to steer clear of any libels upon Mr. Pease, we must eispense with Mr. Redpath’s letter in this instance. What we desire to know of this Five Points controversy are the facts, the figures, and a plain statement of the merits of the case from some impartial authority, if possible. On the other haud, the friends of the Rev. Mr. Pease are not idle, as will appear from the following note :- Mr. J. G.

There is work enough for all. And to those who are looking to the South, to China. or the Fejee islands, for olfjects of charity, we have only to say what John Randolph once said, on a proposition before Congress to furnish the Greeks with a supply of clothing, &ec., “The Greeks—the Greeks—Mr. Speaker! Why, sir, the Greeks are at your door.” Tre Scarier Lerrer AGAIN, AND THE Wi10LE Scarrer Panty.—We understand that Mr. Benjamin Galbraith, our reliable withess, whose office as attorney and counsellor at law, is 127 Fulton street, New York, had his attention called yesterday to the last letter of Mr. John Cochrane, denying certain specifications of Mr. Galbraith, published in this journal, touching a recent conversation with the said Cochrane upon the existeace and contents of a certain free soil letter written by General Pierce to the said Cochrane in the summer of 1848; and we also understand that Mr. Galbraith intends answering the denials of the said Cochrane in the premises in a more circumstantial rea‘tirm- ation of the facts in the matter at issue be- tween the parties. But this is only the bogia- ning of our explorations and excavations into those free soil antecedents of General Pierce ard his free soil associaigs of 1848, We shall continue digging with the will of a California gold miner till we shall have excavated, it not the Scarlet letter itself, all the uecessary proofs to establish its true character. In this view we shsll, in due time, look into certain neglect- ed speeches of General Pierce in New Hamp- shire. and the contemporaneous opinions of his peculiar partizans from “48 to ’51, Among these we shall give an abolition speech or two of Mr. Jobn Cochrane of 1848, at or about the time of the Scarlet letter correspondence of General Pierce with the said Cochrane. We have opened this rich mine of free soilism, and shall dig it out to the lust panful of gold dust at the bottom. In the end, the whole mystery of the present Cabinet and outside free soil afliliations and obligations of General Pi will be completely solved. Nepraska AND THE New York Democracy— Tur Por Fareiy Borna.—It is out at last that John Van Beren and his free soil associates of 1848, including General Pierce, are in great trouble, It is.evident that Marcy is in trouble, and that the Cabinet is divided and in great trouble upon this Nebraska obstruction, Tam- many Hall is also divided, uproarious, and belligerent upon the same issue. John Van Buren, John Cochrane. Captain Ryn- ders, and the short boys at Syracuse, did not contract for the bill of Dowglas. They egreed to let things stand as they are; now they are oll adrift again. The hard shell committee have fiatly resolved to go with Douglas—so does Captaia Rynders; but the soft shell committee swallow the dose with a disposition to throw it up again, John Van Buren and others positively refusing to gulp it. Whatis to bedone? The only way is to call a general meeting of both factions favorable to the repeal of the Missouri line, and to expel from the ranks of the democracy all who will not co-operate in the general move- ment. To this end the general meeting should address a letter of inquiry to John Van Buren, Jobn Cochrane, Isaac Y. Fowler, Hemaa J. Rel- field, Conrad Swackhamer, William L. Marcy, Benjamin I’. Butler, John A. Dix, and all others who, from their free soil affiliations, may be dis- trusted.
