ro) TANT FROM KANSAS- ‘MPOF . ‘The Secret Military ization=—Free Sott Encam| Shape—rne Grips and Pass Words—Lne Members A with Rities, Pistols and Bowle Knives—A of the the Grand General—No Quarter Allowed to Slavery Men. (From the St. Louis Republican, Oct. 20) Some days since we publi a despatch from St, Joveph, stating the discovery of the existence of a aecret military orgavization in Kansas, Affaire “of that Territory, and ‘to resist the execution of any law passed by the Territorial Legislature. Last night we received a paper from St. Joseph, which con- tafns the promised disclosures, and we make oom for the most important portions, The disc are made by Pat. Rexget, a citizen of Kansas, character is vouched tor by well known citizens of the Territory. He was a member of association, and acted with them, Dut, becoming satisfied of the treasonable nature of the tion, withdrew from it, and has felt himself upon to tell all he knows about it. This hedoes in an address to the public, from which we proceed to T do not wish to be understood as branding as aboli- tionists all who are connected with this party, nor all who are members of the secret organization to which I did belong; for Iam personally acquainted with man; who are members of both, who are as good citi- zens as as as any in the jand, and many of whom, I delieve, will endorse my conduct in making the exposi- tion Ido. Many of them, I believe, are ignorant of the network in which they are canght, and of the manner im which they are ent . are not aware, per- haps, that they ure bound under solemn obligation, as soon’ as an abolition faction call on them, to forsake their families and all that is dear them and march into the field, rifle in had, to shed the blood of their countrymen; yet this, though range, fs all a matter of fact, as 1 shall prove, to the satisfaction ofall unpréjudiced minds. In order to do this it is neces. sary for me to a history of the manner in which I beame a member of the secret organization called, or rather named, x, Territorial Grand Encampmeat and —— of Legion. e was a meeting Free State party held at the house of A. » on the 25th Angust, for the pur of sending delegates to the Territorial Convention, to be id at Big Spring, K. T., on the 5th of September. There were fifteen delegates sent, only ten of whom went to the convention. I ‘was one among the ten who at/ended. I was sent at the request of several of the delegates, a fow days ahead of the others in order to inquire into the state of the party as well as to have some printing done. When 1 arrived at a place called Ocena, in Atchison county, I sto) ped to inquffe the way to Lawrence. [soon found I had Sropped into the houre of one of our party. A cou- versation sprung up berween us, in which J took a very fanportant part, and denounced in very harsh terms the people of Missouri on account of their conduct in the spring election. I showed our resolutions to the gentleman with whom Iwas conversing, (a Mr. Crosby,) who, after perusing them, went into a private apartment and bade me follow; he told me ina whisper that they had an organization which served very much to streagthen our party, and with which he would make me acquainted; without re- ceiving an answer from me, he bade me hold up my han and teke the obligation with him. hia did. He then gave me two books, which he told me were the ritual and constitution of the order, which he wished me to take to Grasshopper. Falla, and onganize a society there, This | assented to, and did without looking at the books, only at the obligation, which I was bound to do, to organize the society. I organized the society there and gave up the ‘Dooks, I then went on my way to Lawrence, and went to the office of the Herale of Preedom, where I was direct- ed by nearly all the {ree soilers on wy way, on account of its editor being so perfect in the faith. I went to Mr, Brown’s office and introduced myself, showing him the proceedings of our meeting, which he gommented on in a very erfticising wa saylog. we. bad done very wrong in adopting some of our resolutions, which were opposed to the admission of free negroes into the future state of Kansas, because, he said, it would Sigive offence to many of our best friends in the North.” T answered, these are our sentiments, independent of northern abolitionists or southern nulliders. I then let Mr. Brown know that I wus a member of the secret order; after which he hesitated a good deal, ana then told me to call the nextday. I returned the next day. He gave me two constitutions for the county, and two for the ‘town of Doniphan, in which I was to organize a society. Our delegates were informed at Big Spring, that I had the constitutions to organize them into a society. When I returned I was immediately put at to organize them, which I did, and until after then I never re thelr con: stitution. T then spoke to some of th@men in the county, who would go into it ouly on confiiffon, aud ap- pra Cotes luke warm in regard to it. I gave them uo encouragement, and felt that my mission was done as [ had promired. ‘I then felt that I was at liberty to remain silent, and push this thing no farther. 1 concluded I had better keep the two copies of the constitution which I thought would ve useful to mein making this exp si- tion—a thing I determined on doing so soon as I dis- covered their treasonable designs. But I must come to the point, and make known the ob- ject of this society, and the manner in which it is organ- |. Its object is to make Kansas a free State, by force of arms, if they fail to carry their point by legal means. To effect this they have organized a society or secret army, who are provided with Sharp’s rifles, free of charge Tsaw many of those rifles and other equipments in wrence) by an organization in Boston, Massachusetts, got up for the purpose of aiding the abolitionists in Kan: was, to make it a tree State. From this organization 1 have been informed that the exeoutive committee at Law- ‘rence have received $100,000 to defray the expenses of a State organization, a movement which is now on foot by the free soil abolition party. Tam a member of this committee, and the above infor- mation was bronght tome by a member of the commit ce. ‘This was just before the election for ex-Governor Rev lr, and made me feel very Iutewarm in’ the cause of the Reeder party, for | began to be convinced more than ever that ex-Governor Reeder and a large majority of his sup- porters were strongly tinctured with abolition doctrines, yet] could not muster up courage enough to withdraw drom the party until I cast my vote for ex-Governor Reeder. But in doing so I voted against the State organization, for I felt it to be my duty. as I know ft to be a measure of only a small portion-of the eisizens of the Territory ani headed only by abslitionists and traitors to their country. This Tamm positive of, for it is the Territorial Grand Engampment and the Executive Committee who are at the head of this movement. Both know to be propagating treason. ‘The Grand Eneamp- ment, haw arins with which to rebel against governioat, In the Executive Committee of which i became a mem- ber, from being introduced by ex-Governor Reeder, ther ‘was aresolution offered, which provided that every reli- able free State man in the Territory should ve furnished with a rifle, a brace of pistols aud a sabre, and required to take an oath to bold himself im readivess to march into service under bis supertor officer when called upon, ‘snd that be would go to the reseue of the person or pro- y of any free soiler who should babrougnt by force Pertenece to the present laws of the Te y The chairman of the committe, Dr. Robinsoa, of Law rence, K.T., advised the gentleman to withdraw his motion, as they should act upon this in a private man- ner. The motion was withdraws, 1 thin ficient to prove them traitors to their country, and I would be more than a traitor] if I stood a silent” apecta- tor to treasonable designs, and acted in concert with a faction whose midright wireworking will, if allowed to roceed, sever the ties of the Union, and finally over- row our liberties, the foundation of which is built on truth, end cecemented with the blood of fearl:s and manly hearts. Iknow that many free soilers, who cannot see us I do. or if they doare not honest enoug to confess it, will couple treason with my name, and say, such are l.ish- men. But ifsuch there be, I can only say. thank God, I had the nerve to expose their villany to the worl. and be true to the constitution and laws of the United S .tes and the interests of the Souh—which, when I ex fled by poverty and oppression from my wative land, took me to her bosom, gave me a home, made me a froe man, and sheltered me under the folds of the star spang Jed Danner, Receiving such undeserved fayors as these from a strange people, would 1 not ve wretch if I failed to eHow to the world the » of a party who are led by and reverence the foll constitution and ritual wore thaa they do the laws their country ere Mrflaughlin intended to have inserted “Constitution and Ritual of the Grand Encamp ment and Regiments of the Kansas Torrito adopted April 4th, Legion of Kansas 1856," length of the documents preclude the possibitity of our inserting them in this paper, but we miy do 80 fa full next week.

The editorial convention called in the city papers Pro- | met in the Exchange Hotel “at 73 o’clock to-night, pursuant to the adjournment at their meeting this morning.

Nothing short of a good, eubstantial feast, with the proper appendages, cham- pegne, &c., could have that effect. There were in all about nine or ten present, enough, it would be supposed, to impart cheerfulness and animation to any scene; yet, strange in this instance, the chief characteristic of the meeting was {ts dull monotony—a act which could be accounted for only in the absence of the good things which are generally associated with ditorial conventions. ‘They appeared a sorry crowd, truly—objects of sympa- hy, in fact, They rarely spoke, and when they did, it was ina whisper ; and, in this form, at intervals of ten and sometimes twenty minutes. Such were the features of the convention until the ad- vent of Jaines A. Cowardin, Exq., of the Dispatch of this city—a gentleman of exceeding'y social disposition and characteristic cheerfulness of manner. His lively, ex- ressive countenance is, in fact, humor personified ; and his entry had the effect of at once changing the entire aspect of the scene. What a strange compound did that assembly, present. ‘There was Wm. F, Ritchie, of the Auquirer, of city, than whom, it way be said, more high-minded nor honorablo man never lived; Robert Ridgway, of the Richmond Whig, remarkable as a political writer of great power, and a gentleman of courage as true as that of Cesar’s ;'and Mr. Bisbie, of the National American, conversing’ together as cordially as brothers. 1 should have clussed in this combination R. W. Hughes, of the Kxaminer, who is justly esteemed the lion of the Southern press. What ‘a medley! Such a spectacle could not fail to impress thore who witnessed it with a strange idea of the odd phases of political warfare in this country. 1 shall here give you a list of those present:—Messrs, Ritchie, of the Richmond Enquirer; Ridgway, of the Whig; Hughes, of the Heaminer; Cowardin. of ‘the Dis. patch; Bisbie, ‘of the National American; Little, of the redericksburg News; Maupin, of the Staunton Republi- can; Gilliam, of the Wheeling Zimes; Boyd. of the Clarks- ville Tolacco Plant, Mecklenburg county; Hopkins, of the Fincastle Democrat; and Cochran, of the Charlottesville Advocate, Mr. Banks, of the Petersburg Democrat, was present for a short time, but left before the convention was or- ganized, While awaiting further accessions to their numer, which, by the way, were not had, and before organizing, some Conversational remarks passed as follows-— Mr, Biswe—Mr. Cowardin, perhaps you could give us some information as to the olject for Which this conven: tion was called. ‘Mr. CowaRpiN—I cannot, but I am sa‘isfied that Mr. Ridgway or Mr. Hughes can. Tbe call for the conven- tion originated with one of these gentlemen. Mr. Hucms—The convention, I believe, -was called by Mr, Ridgway. T know nothing of its object, nor have I seen anything stated upon that head, though I have ob- served several calls for it in many of the papers of the State. | Truly our position is an anomalous one, “We are here assembled, but for what object no one seems to know, Can’t we get up something. Mr. Cowarpix—I would suggost that Mr. Banks be sent for, and that he and Mr, Ridgway decide upon the sora question. (this had reference to adiseussion which took place be- tween Messrs, Banks and Bisbie through their respective papers os to what became of the sora upon the appear- ance of winter. The former argued that they pussed to a more Southern Intitude, while the latter maintained? that they either buried themselves in the inud, or were meta- morphived into frogs. Each holding pertinaciously to his view of the subject, Mr, Ridgway was referred to as an umpire, and he very properly remarked tht a correct decision upon that question could only be arrived at by acareful analysis of the quality of that delicious fow properly served up. Whether the analysia was made or notIam entirely ignorant. Some say it was; but the subject, nevertheless, remains in sta‘ quo.} Mr. Riveway—I_ approve of the suggestion. Let us come to the American and settle the question forthwith. We oT find the means there by which to make a proper analysis, Mr. CowaRpin—A better opportunity could not be af forded than the present. What do ye think, gentlemen? Mr. Hucuvs—the object in getting you here to-night, gentlemen, was to lay the foundation for a more formal meeting, which is to assemble to-morrow night. Many of the editorial fraternity now in the city, who would, [ have no doubt, cheeriully engage in our deliberations, are precluded from so doing for want. of a knowledge of the place or time of meeling. The ditfisulty can, in a great measure, be overcome by adopting this means to Aisuibute toformation regarding these pointa, Mr. Cowanptn--I think it is time we should organize, Linove that Mr. Hopkins take the chair, ‘Theo motion being agreed to, Mr. Cochran was appointed Secretary, Mir.

I understand, however, that Mr. Ridgway or Mr. Hughes is disposed to make an im- portant proposition, and if that is the case I should think the proper ti writ has arrived, Mr. Hvons—Upon conference with several gentlemen connected with the preas'of Richmond, there was a gencral sentiment amovg thene in opposition to the in- troduction of any business to-night tuc the eonsideration of the convention.

Panna, O The Dynastic Hopes of Lowis Napoleon and their Prospeos of Reaization—His Poreign Policy too Pur.futchea for the Popular Mind—ihe Grand Industrial Fete at the As might be expected, the announcement <0 officially made in the government organ, yesterday, of the preg- nancy of the Empress, hae not failed to become a subject of considerable discussion among the cafés, passages, and circles of the metropolis; but though I have heard a great eal of talk, I find little or nothing to add to the remarks which, gathered from the more fashionable coteries, T ventured to detail yesterday. It may be, it is generally observed, a circumstance of jubilation—a bon heur—for the Emperor himself is pet de famille, but in any other light—as a political subject of interest—it possesses nothing which can, for a moment, engage the sympathies of any one without the imperial pale. From time imme- morial, in French history, it has not been the lot of the son to succeed the sire in occupying the French throne; Louis Quartorze, Louis Quinze, and Louis Sixteenth were all instances of this; and for the last sixty years, since the execution of the last mentioned monarch, but one sovereign has ever died in the possession of bis throne. ‘The first Napoleon finally quitted the Tuileries io 1815, Louis the Eighteenth died there, Charles the Tenth bade it farewell in 1830, Louis Philippe in 1848, and unless the star of Napoleon has become a fixed constellation, there is no great reason to suppose that the present wearer of the crown will in any possible respect prove an exception to a rule which for ages has become invariable—namely, that the son does not follow the father. It is really somewhat sickening to hear the light manner which changes of dynasty and new orders of government are spoken of by the bourgecise French, All taith in the stability of insti- tutions seems irrevocably to haye passed away. A government, no matter how constituted, whether impe- rial, monarchical, consular or republican, is looked upon as a mere hand of cards, which the first breath or shake of the table may resolve into its original elements of pasteboard. Talk of a family giving strength to » dynasty; itis said what dynasty then shculd have beom atronger than the Orleans? Louis Philippe had a pse- geny alike numerous, talenged, brave and beautiful; per- sonally they were all popular, and when the hope of Jais house, the Duke of Orleans, was tragically carried off, there was not a dry eye in Paris. T saw how, one fine, day, the whole family—trunk and branches—were swept away like Jeaves in autumn. All men who have property at stake wish well to the present occupant of the French throne, because under him commerce flourishes, labor thrives, and fortunes are made; but one beau jour a hur- ricane will come, the present prosperous breeze will be changed into a storm, and then, it is said, you will find that no man will woga finger to suve him.” His foreign policy is too far-fetched for the popular mind; they watch Kewith distrust; they cannot, with all. their desire, get up a good hate against the Russians. They could much more easily do so against the English, their intimate ally. They do not say his policy is wrong; it may, on the contrary, be quite right; but let it meet with a re- verge, and then we shall see., T record sentiments of this kind with unfeigned regret, for as one who for many years has closely watched the litical evolutions of France, I have but one optaion— That for the French no other government {a sulted than that which Napoleon has given them, so long as it re- mains in svch firm bands as his own. ' And J do not be- Lieve that im the nonchalance with which his possible downfall is discussed, the future is at all contemplated, ‘After me the deluge” is pretty much the motto of the French charecter everywhere. But, as a faithful cor- respondent, Iam bound to give the innumerable rea Jers of the Herarp the best means of forming an opinion on the prospect of stability or instability which « country so important to the interests of the world as France pre- sents, und in order to do so I endeavor to collact the sen- timents of all shades of poople. Ae weare favored with little or no intelligence from the seat of war, and are obliged torest contented till we hear the guns of the Invalides announcing the fact tht Odessa is blown to the winds, or the north of Sebastopol is vacated (a consummation much wore to be wished than looked for) we ere all in a state of delightful excitement concerning the great féte at the Loi is to be given to Prince Napoleon, Grand Exposition, on the 15th inst. The original idea, you know, was to give his Highness a banquet, the ex: posants contributing for this purpose a sum of twenty- five francs each. Afterwar..s it was decided that some- thing cn a larger scale would best suit the circumstances of the case, and #s a large section of the exposanta was desirous of having § ball, in order to bring in the ‘“fair- est’ portions of the industrial artistes, a determination was come to to merge the bunquet and ball into a soirée —a grand re-union, to be held at thenew Hotel de Louvre, Place du Palais Royal, to which all the members of the corps diplomatique, the winisters, the ambassadors, the civil and military authori'ics, the membera of the press and the foreign commissioners should be invited. It is also hinted that the luke and Duchess of Brabant, the heir and danghter-in-law of King Leopold of Belgiam, tay possibly be present. Instead of a banquet table, where all would have to be seated, a superb buffet will be prerared, by its splendor, and the recherche mature of its dainties, worthy the “productive” character of the cocasion. The first crtivtes from the French and Italian Operas have volunteered their services, and music of the Vest kind wil lend its uid to cheer und gladden so goodly an assemblage cf a! nations, will be Speeches, tos, made in every tongue, so that altogether there will be a ‘unique feature about — this-reunion which wil probably rencer the description I hope to forward to your columns not uninteresting. It will be the first occasion of using the new Hotel de Lou- vre, and the government haa giyen instructions that no expense shall be spared to render it worthy of such an installation. The charaeter of the festival being changed, the original sum of twenty-five francs subseribel is thonght in vxcens, and is reduced by five francs,an intima- tion being aade to the parties that the surplus will be returned on demand. If, however, it be suffered to re- main, the names of the parties are to be recorded as donors to the poor, who are to have the benelit of any sums that rest over and above the expenses. Young Prince Napoleon has unquestionably done himself much credit by the untiring exertions he has made to give po pularity to the great Fxhibition, and it is only fair to record ihatas he largely participated in the odium of its original failure, so he has come in now for a fate share of the laurels which are soon about to bloom over its grave, Amore wonderful recovery from sickness and decline was, perhaps, never witnessed, than in the case of this exhitition. Notwithstanding the ungenial wether, the damp which penetrates through its crystal covering, the pools of mud which collect about ite portals, there is no slacking amongst the crowds which every day present therselyes. As for the desire to inspect the crown Jewels, happy is the person who after forming part of the queue Yor an hour, can gain a momentary at them. But, besides this, the perpetsl resurrence of clear and able notices in the journals of things wor- thy of observation, of the nature and quality of their manufacture and of their rerpective yalie, in the commerce af the world, has served immensely to inesemse the popular interest. Had the preparations for this exhibition been observed with the promised punctuality; bad the contractors of the building per- formed their duty; had the plans of the Commis-loners been more digested and matured; had the exposants been ready with their several articles for delivery, so that notices of this kind could have beea delivered to the world simultaneously with the inauguration, there is po saying what degree of immortality the Paris exhibi- tien night not have attained to, As it is, it isa mourn- ful sight, akin to what weexperience when consumption's dead blight tails upon the cheek of youth and beauty, upon whom, in the Bower and bloom of life, the de- etroyer we plainly see has laid his cold, damp, heavy viewtn sland by and wail fer the death doom of an ition so full of vigor, of innate youth and life, and rrounded and besieged by on eager throng of ad- Every day fresh discoveries of its resoncera are A ns our ese wanders over that gorgeous an- so full of all the wondrous mechanical con- nevé, trivances of man, so replete with instruction to the yourg and old, it is hard to restrain a sympathetic teu: at thought of ihe speey dissolution which awatte it, as glittering with radiant Leauty and glorious pride, it stands wy sciously, as if planted on a rock.

MONE FUSION. it is well known to politicians that a mecting of certain prominent representatives of that body of c'tizens d.v- tinzvished as “Straight Whigs,’ was held in this city on Saturday last, and that the purpose of their deliber tions was to decide with'what party they should inentity their fortunes at the coming clectioa. The arrangements bad been made, as we know, with a view to secure the support cf the Whig voters to the Soft ticket; and we have the best reason for asserting that pre meeting Gov. Hunt wrote a letter sdvising that be taken. How far this design had been exeouted we were not aware till tho fact was disclosed by the Kwening Mirror of yesterday, which states that such a resolution was adopted by the meeting, and that the straight whigs are finally to fuse with the softs, The same au- thority also informs us that. Mr. West of the Commereial vliver, Mr. Bradish, Hr. Barnord of Aibany, Mr. Frank Granger, and Mr, Parmelee of Baifalo, aye in cordial co- operation with Gov. Hunt in the management of this in- teresting piece of patriotism. We learn from another source that this transfer of the strright whigs to the eupport of Gem. Iieree, Gov. Soy. mour, Tammany hall and the Nebraska bill, was not con- summated without a rhew of resistance on the part of these attached to the Hindoo interest, who naturally derired to carry their friends into that camp. The representative of that immaculate institution, the New York Hepree, proposed to the meeting that the vote: of the’ whige should be given to the Know Nothing ticket; but there was a previous understanding that this should be rejected, and the proposition was only intra- duced as a means of saving the appearance of conaistoney tothe statesman from whor it emanated, Very likely je straight whig Brooks may feel himself perfectly at Vberty to gratify hia personal tastes by voting for the other Kpow Not ing Brooks and the rest of the Hindoo condidafes; but still be will cherish no il] will against bis tiethron of the whig tew party who pursue a different course and give their most sweet voices to the softa. The great thing te to defeat the repu?licans and carry the Siete of New York for the extension of slavory. Every precaution was taken to keep these pro- ceeaings secret. It bad been intended to com. mucicate the deci: whose suf. freges were thas ¢lapored of, by means of a aoeret cireolar, but on consideration this method ecemed to in- yi lve some dangers.

But this confirmation is hardly necessary, in view of the feet which we repeat, we know from the best authority, that Governor Hunt, the leader, and in some sort the author, of the party, had declared for such a fusion before the mecting of Saturday was held, and that the delegates to that meeting were selected with syesial reference to car- rying Mr. Hunt’s design into effec How far such a disposition of their influence and their yotes is creditable to Mr, Humt and his compeers, and how far it will add to the estimation in which they are held by the public, we shall not here undertake to say. We may, however, be allowed the ugrestion, that while they were before accused of no! which they should be particularly ashamed, even 2 made their pretended whig conventton out of notorious Hindovus, and used a Mussousan they are now exposed to the suspicion of jesuitiem insincerity. How, for instance, do those whose attachment to the tnclent po- does not allow them to vote Preston King on Mann, reconcile their sensitive consciences to the idea of supporting the candidate of the Albany Atlas and Gen. Pierce's custom house. It is an interesting question which we shall not now attempt to answer, A Political Portrait of General Nye. Everybody knows General Nye jolly, rollicking oh Ev ly knows General Nye—a , Tollicking chap, fond of a good joke, and can per foe on el xelf—an excellent judge of good liquor, and fond of a glass now and then—oftener now than then, himscli—a waif, drifting about on the political currents of the past years, who can weep over the horrors of slavery while can tell the best negro story, bringing out in strongest relief the ridiculous points of the cam character, of any man in the State. His bowels yearn with untversal philanthropy, embracing fa common brotherhood all 1@ people of all the nations of the earth—and yet he will go further to kick #n Irishman, or pull the nose of a Dutchman, than John Randolph would to kick a sheep. He will preach a profound temperance, sermon while hi eyes are swimming in the moisture of his last pota- tions.” “A saint 1m profession. is General Nye, while there are few greater sinners booked in the service of the ‘gentleman in black,” no far as practice {s concerned. Well, General Nye in floating about, sometimes across the current, sometimes stagnatizing in the eddies, and some- times hurled along down stream, always isolated, at last came in contact with the “fusion,” and stuck there. From being a sort of democratic hybrid, half bard an half soft, with a streak of pro-slavery proclivities under- laying a streak of abolition fanaticism, like paddy’s pig, with a streak of fai aud a streak of lean, be all at once became 8 pure-blooded republican, and burying all past associations, kissing Greeley on’ both cheeks, kicking John Van Buren and the Buffalo platform into the middle of next werk, seized fast hold of Wm. H. Seward’s kite, went up & rocket on a new skive, through the Crag cal heavens, Everybody laughed when they saw him go up, and cried “What a queer tail that kite has got.’? Still General Nyo went up higher and higher, though with his finger on his nose and his lett closed, ‘aa ifenving ‘Is n't this one of the best jokes ot the season?”” Well, again; General Nye is sent all over the State as an anti-slavery, temperance, whig, anti-temperance, democratic republican, to makbantl.slavery, temperance, whig, anti-temperance, democratic repudlizan speeches. Sowetimes he is coupled with Seward, and then he makes an anti-slavery speech, Sometimes’ he duplicates with Greeley, and‘ then he makes a temperance speech. Sometimea he joing James M. Cook, and then he makes an antitemperance, unadulterated, good liquor speech, and seals his devotion to the principles: he inculcates with trenchant pulls at Irish whiskey, lager beer and Dutch schnapps. Sometimes he hitches on with Presten King, ant then he spreads himself on the democratic platform and tramps about like a mammoth in a canebrake. Some- times he freezes to our old silver gray, cotlon wool whig Joseph Blunt, and then he makes a whig speech, invoking the sptrits of Clay, Webster, the older gad the younger Adams, to bless his efforts in aid «€ incl- ples they advocated while living; and sometimes be takes the bit between his teeth, lets go the tail of Mr. Soward’« Kite, and goes cashing about on his own hook, gutting himeelf into atl manuer of scrapes, treading oa'the toes of his allies, picking his elbows into their ribs, and pitch- ing ogaipst their tat stomachs till he knocks ‘the breath otu ofthem. At such times there is a great deal of re- ublican profanity perpetrated—for the General is apt, Fast then, to tell the truth, and whenhe gets started on at lay, it takes a good Ceal of labor 10 harness him down. Well, yet agnin, Gen. Nye got harnessed in, one day last week, fora specch at Buffalo with his Hon vr Judge Culver, who stands unrivalled for dulluess and hyposriti- cul gravity, even amovg the fusionists. The audience was compored mafnly of the sons of the Emerald Isle, and the children of St. Nicholas, Some of them short black pipes, and some ponderous meerschaums; some preferred the poteen to Dutch schnapps, but they all “fused”? on lagerbier and cream ale, ‘Judge Culver made one of his dullest efforts; succeeded admirably in putting his ‘audience to sleep, or making them more and more devotional to their drinks and theirepipes. Gen. Nye, rendered furious by his colleague’s hypocritical can’, Licked straight out of the traces, threw his fetters at the heads of his trainers and broke into a run, telling more truth in a minute tkan had been uttered by the whole republican party inn month, “You Irishmen down there,” said he, as he stretched out his arm like a Roman Senator, “you love hot whis- key punch ?? “Yes, be jabo-s, and plenty of it,” eried rick in response, “So do I,” shouted’ the General “You Dutchmen on the other side, you love schnapps.” “Yaw!” mein dunder,”” replied’ Hans, “80 do 1,” sheuted the General. '‘ You all like lager beer and eream ale; yeu fuse on thant? ‘Fakes an’ we do,” cried Patrick, and “ Yaw, mein dunder,”” shouted Hans, in response. “So do J,” thundered the General. & You all hate a culy-headed, chareral-faced, crooked-shinned, long-heeled nigger.” ' Yea, by the pipers,” cried Pa- trick ax he flourished his stick, and ‘Yaw, mein dunier. ” shouted the plethorie Cutchman. ‘20 do 1,” roared the Geuersl. Tust then Culver pulled the poste- rier extension of the Generol’s outer garment, “Let go ot my ccat tail,’ cried the General softs voce, “ You are off tke track,” whispered Culver. “ D—n the track,” replied the General. ‘But the switch is wrong,’ said Who cares for the swiitch,” answered the Genera}. “But you are running straight into fusion there'll be a smash up; you'll be reported.” “Well, who cares for the reporters; these people want something solid; something they can understand. What's the we of profersions here? We want their votes, and had bet- ter tellihem the simple truth—better be honest here; better go in for good Hyuor, lager beer, and against the ‘colored Porethren’ generaily,”” and the General “went in”? accordingly. Patrick opened his eyes, Hourished his stick. and shouted “Whoop for General O’Nye.”” Hans withdrew his meerschaum from his ponderous jaws and giving on extra hitch to his leather unmentionable shouted “Veep for Sheneral Von Nye!” —while General thrust bis tongue into his cheek and Luughed with bo b eyes, while bis features were as stolic a pressionless asa cast iron pot.

The company are in possession of letters from Governor Antonto Caraso. ‘The Governor speaks of the health of the country, states that peace prevails throughout New Granada, and al- ludes to the increasing prosperity which exists in every branch of business. A letter from Captain Robinson, of the steamer Henry Wells; one from the Superintendent of the New Granada Canal, Mr. Gillett; as well as one from Mr. Sanchez, the American Consul, all speak of the arrival of the steamer Henry Wells in the Magdalena river. They state that she is in fine condition for busi- ness, and was taking in ber freight on the 5th October inst., for her trip up the river; that freight was high, and plenty of it, The intelligence in relation to the canal is very grati- fying, and its rapid advance towards completion is hailed by the citizens of Carthagens, and, indeed, of the whole country, with demonstrations of joy. The reportof the Superintendent is very interesting, giving satisfactory evidence of his ability to carry out the intentions of the company, but is quite too elaborate for publication, The point, however, of the whole is, that, so energetic have the company been, the Superintendent promises to com- plete the work by the Ist of March, 1856, He states that the estimate of canal profits, made by Col. Totten, and published by the company, and which will be found in a work put out by them, at the office of the company, No. 4 Wall street, ie much less than what can be reasonably calculated on; that business, since Col.
