The “still small voice” which responds in the affirmative is too apathetic, and does not reflect the enthusiasm = the Executive Committee who occupy the plat- form. ‘The discussion was opened by the Rey. Mr. Bart- ueir of Frankfort, a dark-looking gentleman with black moustache and a twenty-five cent cane, who armounced himself as a person who once occupied the same position as Governor Seymour, only he wasn’t Governor. He made a dignified allusion to the patch on Governor Marcy's jet ssp which was received with distinguished feminine applause. Mr. lett concluded by giving it as his opinion th joy. Seymour, President Pierce, and Judge pets fod couldn’t stop the progress of God,” whatever t other matters and things. Miss Donovan, of Rochester, (who, by the way is a very fluent speaker, and has a charming brogue,) entered into a review of Gov. Seymour's veto mes- sage, ppg that portion which refers to the “heads of families.” She informed us that Gov. Seymour's love of power and lucre was very strong, but his love of the “critter” was stronger; which in- formation will be somewhat new to our citizens. She spoke of the moral influence of women, and thought that if the Governor's mother had brought him up in the right way, he never would have ve- toed the Maine law. While the bill was before the Governor awaiting his action, a friend of his in New York wrote to a relation in Rochester, that the bill would assuredly be vetoed; that her uncle, a heavy liquor dealer, was then in Albany with Gov. Sey- imour, and that millions of dollars were pledged to secure the veto. Rey. Mr. Tuvnston, of Utica, said that Gov. Sey- mour’s veto made him sick at the time, and it was “some weeks before his mind rallied from the effect of it.” Mr. T. related an anecdote of a pious little girl, whose mother once promised her that she might go to Boston on the succeeding day. Be- fore retiring to rest for the night she went into her closet to pray, and instead of the usual Amen, at the conclusion of the prayer, she finished by say- ings “Good by Jesus Christ, I'm going to Boston.” Mr. Taurston then said something about “ yd to Albany,” which was listened to with hit tention by the Hfon J. Benedict, our member, and Alderman McQuade, of the Third Ward House, who were seated together under the gallery. Mrs. Vavaman, of New York, related a conversa- tion had with Wm. H.

The supreme | Fishon. government is determised to come to the aid of the families of those who have perished, as may be seen by the decree which we publish below. For our part we venture to suggest the following idea: —One of the most valuable monuments to be found in the cemetery of New York is erected by a steam navigation company to the memory of a captain, who, under precisely similar circumstances to those in the case of Commander Noel, perished with the ship he commanded. In that case the nt offi- «+: could have saved himself, but he preferred sacri- ficing his life rather than his duty, and this heroic act fe: been immortalized by the monument that records it. ‘ihe commander, Sa Semppeen in endeavor to eave the lives of his fellow creatures, and to perform his duty in the service of his coun- try. Would it not, » be it to honor the memory of 2o distin, ed an by raising in Casma a monument like that in New York ? The following is the decree of Jose Rufino Eche- nique, President of the Republic, alluded to in the foregoing article :— wiyiaitct grieved for the unfortanate event at Casma, in which the nation has felt one of the la- mentable consequences of the ambition of indefati- gebie revolutionaries, by whom pea.e and the mis- fortunes and afflictions that venoae genre for their ciimes, are unheeded and uncared for, the govern- ment, fulfilling a sacred duty, and exerting itself in fevor of the femilies of the shipwrecked parties, in promptly endeavoring to alleviate their situation by every means in its power, do decree— es ust beg Lon ped the a. officers, aud soldiers of the army and navy who perished on board the frigate Mercedes, shall be considered as the families of those who have diei in battle. Art. 2. That the (hed eon will provide instruc- tion for their sons, daughters, or brothers, and give to their families such gifts as the government may think proper. Art. 3 promises to the families of all the individa- als of the troop the distributions set down in the third article of the law of montepio. Art. 4 requires that the Prefect of Ancahs from the lists of the last review shall examine with the Fg pt accuracy and promptitude in all parts of ie cepaitment debts of the deceased, &c. Art. 5. The ‘roment contributes an honorable testimony to tle memory of Captain Don Juan Noel, commander of the frigate Mercedes, who rather than abandon his ship perished in it with heroic valor, and that there be given to his widow the montepio, as toa widow of a rear-admiral who died in battle. The Minister of War and Marine is ch with the carrying out of this decree. Given in the Gov- ernment House at Lima, the 3d May, 1854, Jose Ruriwo Ecneniqur. Anton10 GuTignnez DE LA FuENTS. Kanzas and Nebraska Territories. Correspondence of the Albany Atlas (abolition organ.) Havi {ly boa a pormoat ts pa ‘or th laving recen' & personal inspection of the newly organized territories, perhaps I may be able to afford some light to guide the course of Eastern bag ep to that country. They are both high and rolling on the surface, re broad and gentle slopes, and possessing a very and luxuriant soil. The country is every way handsome and desirable. There are all the symptoms exhibited of an abundance of limestone and stone coal of a fine quality. It lacks timber— the only hindrance to its immediate settlement. But there isa pe of large growth on the Missouri river and its tributaries to supply for years | the demand of the inhabitants. Kansas is the most preferable, having the supe- rior natural advantages as to soil, timber, coal and stone, and of a warm and genial temperatare, simi- lar to Virginiain climate. It is well adapted for slave labor in this respect, and all others, and it is the intention of Missouri in particular, if ‘not of the South generally, to introduce and establish their “peculiar institution” there. This is a candid declara- tion, founded on what my eyes have seen and ears have heard, while in that State this spring. There is great danger of its becoming a slave tei ~ It already exists among the Indians there to a great extent—some of them are owners of thirty or forty who use them in the cultivation of their farms. erefore, it is tothe mutual interest of emigrants, and the cause of freedom, for settlers to locate in the Kansas region. By the late Indian treaties the negotiatin, have till next January to remove in, till which time entitled to the mn of the United firm Emi ts will go in companies, as many as they more the better and merrier; and locate in neighborhoods as near and m ible— the the safer—stake out their cl and make improvements, and they need no fears of station from the government autho- rities or the natives. Fora few months, they will a nF as _ and guard their property from dian jations. Inhabitants of Iowa are already crossing the river for settlement. .
