The American people have now oom- menced « revolution, and under very simiiar circum- stances to that commenced with General Jack- son in 1824, but which waa aot consummated until 1878.’ All the old party ‘potiticians tried to put down that revolution and Genera!

But they will not meet with the same mezey and forbearance. Prepare for the worst, gentlemen.

Like the Hickory Clubs of old, they ave all powerful to keep political tricksters straight, Let no American close his eyes until the coming ices of March are past. The 296 delezates will split on the maa to be nominated as surely as the last National Council split upon the platform. I have no doubt that the true men will unite RS bead George Law, and 1 bave no doubt that as many abolition delegates and secre’ enemies will eplit and go off on a minority candi- Gate. God in mercy grant that they may, and then, and then only, will the true American party rise up in tower- irg grandeur and greatest strength. The good and t true of all old parties will rally to tne support of a ni man and new measures, The jocrats will flock to fhe thelter of the Live Oak tree, and leave the shadeless, dead stick of oid parties to rot and go to dust and oblivion, The pure and unselfish men of all parties will be with us North and South. and instead of losing by the bolting of traitors, we rLall have gained renewed strength—strength enfficlert to plant our Live Oak canditate in the Presidential chair at Washiogton ¥ an effort. All is not sunshine in politica. We have t to bave storms, and the storm | dyead is the portponement of a nomination or the action of abclilion traitor delegates. We have ot to be prepared for all this, I am not afraid of at action at Philadelphia that is open and above board, and that appeals to the hearts of the American people. None but a new man can be elected. No one buts man thatcan rally around bim the American people, and craw trom all parties, can be elected; and we had better go into tne next Presidential fight with such a man, ifthe is on'y nominated by the delogates from New York, than to be whipped with a foolish, insane nomination of hack politician, if’maie by even a ma- of the convention. I love the American cause; id die for its succes: and yet I am not member of the American order, though Awerican in birth, habi's and everything else. { may have offended some of the members of the American order here to-right. I hope not. It is to your organization thet millions of American voters look for a candidate that weoursiders can'unite upon to elect, We arewith you— sink or swim—life or death—whig or democrat—provided you give us anew man: but I speak the sentiments of millions of the old parties when I sey that if you aitempt et Philadelphia to saddle us with any old worn out politician—wbig or democrat—we will let you go to destruction your own way. You will not carry an elec- toral vote in the Union: for if you, at Philadelphia, have to pick an American candidate from the refuse of the old demoeratic or whig parties—we won't help you, for we will fal! back epon suca men as one regular old party organization may pominate. We don’t want the Phila- de'pnia American Convention to choose for their ranks. * We would not want vietory w ers, It would not be an American victory. No success but thot ot a new candicate can be regarded as an Amori- can victory. An old whig or democratic lesder would only inaugurete the od state of things, and be would try to harmonize old antecedents. Our country, gentlemen, ia its onward march to greniness, has gone forward by the energy of the Awerican people, until the people are a century in advance of the Atnerican government. The peop.e expect ano want a new man, with practical ideas, to use in t. ministration of our publicaffairs, We want 4 man with a comprehensive minc, that is able to grasp at ence the great interests of our country. We waat a President that will stimulate its energy in the develope- ment of our vast resources, and in the protection of our people. We want to see the extremities of our country united—not by paper resolutions, bu’ by each adminis rative wisdom as wil bind and blend its great interests for the benefit of all the states of the coniederacy, But lam tresparring. I see more eloquent men here to-night hen I protess to be. J talk plain common sense, ard I sel you where you are going to meet difficulty in yoar wirhes, I hope may be mistaken. 1 hope, gentlemen, that all will go merily for the American party.

Mr. Svrrm made a report from the Finance Committee, in which Comptroller Flagg was taken to task for not tending to his business and stating the affairs of the Board of Governore correctly. It appears the Comptroller charged $125,000 of the deficiency of the Board to the year 1856 instead of tae year 1665. Report accepted, and President nowfied to rm the Comptroller of his Temiseness. USE OF LIQUOR ON THE ISLAND. Mr. Temay made a report in reference to the use ot Lquors on the isiand, in which he read a comraunication from Dr, sawyer, stating that his experience in tho Peni- tentiary hospital went to show that the use of ardent spirits aud *timulents of any description was infurious to the sick. What they wanted was proper attendance and remedies. ‘The following statistics were read, showing that the rate of mortality decreased an the stimulant given pa- tients was limited:— From March 1, 1855, to July 51, 1855, there were treated in Penitentiary hospttal......... 1,807 Of which number there died .. . of Rate o1 mortality, 2.6-10 per cent.

FBLING, COMMISFIONER OF STREETS AND LAMPS, Upon the opening of this court yesterday morning, the District Attorney arose and said:—‘ May it please the Court, the trials of Joseph £. Ebling jand Alderman Mo- sher sre set down tor thisday. I understand that Ald man Mosher is dangerously ill at bis home, andl shall therefore be ccmpeiled to postpone his case. 1 have en- tere into an arrangement with Mr. Jawnes T.

The Grand Jury then cate into court and announced, through the District Attorney, toat they had ended their labors, and asked to be discharged. In discharging them, the Cily Judge a Gentlemen of the Grand Jury—I congratulate you upon the manver in which you have discharged the iuties con- fided to you as Grand Jurors of the county; and I fursher- more corgratulate you upon having got through with your labors so early in the term. It would be g:atlfying, indeea, if this could be taken as an evidence that crime was on the decrease. From my own short experience on the bench. I should say crime in this city was more among the juvenile portion of the community, and a wa- jority of the orisoners arraigned betore me, much to my urprise, have becn mere poys Iess than fourteen years 0} age, and some years younger than thi. It isa sad thought that this may grow out of « want of proper pa- renia You are now discharged, gen‘lewen, with the thanks of the people, to which we unite the thanks of the Court, for the manner in which you have discharg- ed your duty. MORE ABOUT THE GAMBLERS. Henry Colton was arrested by Sergeart Walsh, of the Court of General Sessi esterday, at the St. Nicholas Hotel. The arre-t was made upon a bench warrant for gamblng, issued by the City Judge. Colton was held to bail, betore the City Judge, in the sum of $1,000. Afr. Parsons was aczepted as bail. Mr. Busteed addressed the Court, saying he was re- tained as counsel for Mathews, who was uoder indictment for gambling, and whose trial was set down for this day. He should wove fora postponement of the case, on the ground that material witnesses were absent from the city. Affidavits were read to this effect, an upon these the case was laid over till the second Monday in Febru- ary next. After the trial of some petty cases, the Court adjourned till this morning. United States Circuit Court. Before Hon. Justice Ingersoll. Jax, 22.—Shortly after the moeting of the Court this morning, the United States District Attorney—Hon. John McKeon—moved that the recognizance be discharged in the matter of Wm. fi. Allen, a witness in the case of the Nicaraguan expeditionists, and who was last week placed under bonds to testify, it beiog the then impression of the prosecution that Mr. Allea purposed leaving this section of the country somewhat incontinently. Mc. Mekeon stated to the Court that, from conversation which he had had w'th Mr. Allen’ since the lust action had been bad in the matter, he was entirely sutistied of Mr. Allen’s integrity of purpose, and willingoess to afford lifts testimony when called upon for it. As to Mr. Allen's being spoken of as “ Mr. Gallagher,” that was an error arising from the fact that he had a ‘half brother of that name. The Court granted the motion. Superior Court—Part 1. .

Weather Colder Than Ever—The Land Bill Passed in the Legislature—Governor Irard’s Course—A Financial Move —New Newspaper—The United States Soldiers at fort Prerre. Day betore yesterday the thermometer stood in the morning at 20 degrees below zero, and now, whilst I write, it indicates 21 degrees below; and yet we don’t suffer much with the cold. It is true, one occasionally finds, after a short exposure to this temperature, the end of his nose, a finger or 60, or @ toe perhaps, stiff—per- haps frozen; but we get used to such things. The In- dians say, or rather, we understand them to any, that this winter is the coldest they have known for many Grand suns. The thermometer ranges from 15 to 45 de grees below zero nearly all the time. The joint resolution requesting Governor Izard to pro- ceed to Washington and use his influence in obtaining the passage of» bill granting 160 acres of land to actual settlers im Nebraaka, as recommended in his prastica and commendable message, contrary to the expectations of many, has passed both houses. Te is an endorsement, toe certain extent, of the executive He has, [ under- stand, not the most remote idea of going to Washington. His opponents here need not flatter themselves they can catch the old gentieman out of sorta. Although not pos- sessed of low, cunning intrigue, he pursues a couree which he alone believes to be roger od upon the whole, not ovly carefully attends to official duties now, but makes @ gord Governor. Sometiines he deviates from the path which others believe to be right; is somewhat penu- rious, &c.; but he’s # man, as Barns says, for a’ that. Yesterday, a memorial was presenteo in the House, requesting Congress to change the organic law xo that the disbursement of public moneys should be in the hands of the Legislature aug Executive, instead of the Executive alone. It failed to pass, however, 1 undee- siand, Jam of the belief, however, that the g vern- ment’s disbursing egent here should, if not under the control of, be assisted by the Legislature. The peo- ple here would be better satisfied, and it would more effectually guard against any rascality that might arise. The Nebraska Democrat made its sppearanse yester- day. Jt is the official paper of the Territory now, belng e@dopted by a vote of abuut two to one by both branches of the Territorial Assembly. It is the only honest de- mocratic sheet in the Territory, and taxes the lead of Nebraska’s democratie party. But little business bas as yet been dono by the Legis- lature, and ft is already half over. They, however, com- mence’ immediately ou the new Code, and will probably Go eometbing with that, at least before they adjourn. The subject of removlog the capitol from this point is strongly talxed of, and will be brought forward, perhaps, ios rhort time. If the peor could have a vote in t! matter, Omaba would stand searce a shadow of a ce. ‘The soldiers at Fort Pierre are having a hard time of it, lunderstand. Their horses are dying, and the shelter is ineufficient to protect them from the inciemency of the wea'her. I apprehend that spring will open upon a weral peace with the warlike tribes of Indians on the rontier, and I hope to continue. But a» strong force is absolutely necessary, stationed along our frontier, to keep the red rascals in their own bailiwick. IKE. Army Court Martial TRIAL AND SENTENCE OF MAJOR HENSHAW. Gzyenal. ORDERS, | War Devantutst, No. 1. uy ADJOTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE, Wasuincton, Jan. 11, 1856. I.—At the General Court Martial which convened at Fort Washita, Arkansas, pursuant to ‘Special Orders,”? No. 197, of October 15, 1855, from the War Department, and of which Colonel Henry Wilson, Seventh iafantry, is President, wae arraigned and tried Brovet Msj x John C. Hensbaw, Captain Seventh infantry, on the tollowing charges and specifications:— Here follow the charges and specifications. SENTESCE. The Court Coes therefore sentence the said Brevet Major Jobn C. Hensbaw, Captain in the Seventh regiment of United states Infavtry, ‘‘to be dismissed the wervice.”” I.—In conformity with the 65th Article of War, the proceedings of the General Court Martial in tue foregoing case have been transmitted to the Secretary of War, and by him laid before the President of the United States. The tollowing are the orcers thereon:— War Derantwxst Jan. 11, 1856. The Presicent bas confirmed the proceedings and sen- tence of the General CourtMartial in the case of Beevet Major John C. Henshaw, Captain 7th Infantry, who ac: cordingly ceases to be an officer of the army fromJanuary ‘This case involves some principles, which it is well to bing to the attention of the army in announcing the de- cision on it. ‘The cherges against Major Henshaw allege a breach of the Sth Articie of War, for disressect to Major Andrews, ina letter tothe head quarters of the army; and a breach of the 8id article, in making false statements concerning him in that letter. Major Henshaw pleaded in bar of these charges—of the first, that his letter was written to exhilat charges against Majo: Andrews, and to take an sppesl from bim to their common superior, and that it caunot be # disrespect to exhibit charges or take an ap- peal: snd in bar of the other, that an accuser is not tria- ble for the trath cf the charges till the accused is tried and acquitted thereof. ‘hese pleas the Court overruled. The right in charges and sppeals is not to be exercised in any mode or style the suborcinate pleases, but with some reasonable cir- cumspection, and in good faith, andin subjection to the controlling law of discip.ine, which to sustain military suthority requires obedience and forbids disrespect to commanding officers, These rights aud the mode of ex- ercising them have been well and carefully defined in the General Order from the War Department, No. 16, of 1851. Under color of chazges or appeals, a subordinate has ro right to avail himself of the cpportunity to be- have with contempt to his commandiog officer. Where euch case is alleged in the specification, a court martial will entertain and try the charge. As to the other exception, it was not competent to the Court to sustain it. It was matter properly for the au- thority appointing the Court. Tpe Court was empowered in this case to try both officers, but it was competent for the authority appoiating the Court to decide otherwise and to judge which should be put on trial. The Court, in convicting Major Heushuw on the third cbarge, have pronounced their opinion in favor of Major Andrews on imputations against hima covered by that charge, The evidence, however, shows misconduct on the part of Major Andrews, which was not put in issue. which the Court declined to examine and on which th have returnea no opinion. An exverienced officer w! had served with him admits bis treatment of his men to be herh and viclent, and his conduet very “‘reprenensi- ble’ in this respect. This was the considerate testimony of a friendly witness, and is such evidence of the fact as calls for a decided expression of the opinion ot the Preti- dent. A commanding officer has no right to be insult- ing, harsh or abusive to those in his command. Both officers and enlisted men are equally entitled to be pto- tected from ill treatment by him. An officer who csmn- mits such offences is wanting in some of the essential quaiifications for command; and it is to be regretted that 4 thorough investigation of this matter was not made by putting Major Andrews on trial.
