The News. Mr. Buchanan reached his home in Lancaster, Pa., yesterday. He left Philadelphia in the morning, and ail slong’the route he was met by deputati e people of all parties, who manifested eee and admiration. At his home there general turn out, and “all sorts of people” seemed pleased and gratified at his return. Advices from the city of Mexico to the 19th of April and Vera Cruz to the 22d have been received @t New Orleans) The country was quiet, and com- munication between different parts of the country wninterrupted. Tamariz had escaped. He reached Wera Cruz in the disguise of a drayman, and em- barked on the British warship’ Penelope. The Gharch property had been seized by the military, though the Bishop refused to deliver it up. It was reported that Comonfort had been. offered $600,000 to revoke the decree of confiscation. Our despatch from Washington informs us that Genera! Sam Houston wiil run as an independent candidate for the Presidency, trusting for his elec- tothe great body of the people, and repudiating all caucuses and conventions, His platform is:—Oppo- sition to the domestic and foreign policy of the present. administration, restoration of the retired naval officers, and condemnation of no citizen with- eutahearing. It issaid that fifteen delegates from Ohio te: ithe Cincinnati Convention are in favor of the nomination of Mr. Buchanan. A despatch re- eeived in Washington reported that the disturbances thad.again broken out in Kansas, and that some of the.authorities had been shot. The statements of Colonel Lane and Senator Dougias, in reference to their recent difficulty, will be dound .on the first page of our paper this morning. From,,Kansas we have a despatch to the effect that the Sheriff of Leavenworth City, while attempt ing to arrest a man connected with the late difficul- ties was resisted by some three hundred persona, and that Governor Shannon had ordered out the militia. A similar despatch has been received in Washington city. From the report of the City Inspector we learn theve . were 372 ,deaths in our city daring the past week—83 men, 53 women, 128 boys, 108 girls—ade- crease pf 15 on the mortality of the previous week- Of the number 223 were under 10 years of age. In the list we notice the death of two persons one huadred years old, gnd over. There were twenty- eight.deaths. in the public institutions of the city, and nine resulting from violent causes. Among the causes of death were:—Apoplexy, 4; 5; congestion of lungs, consumption, 2; convulsions (infyati 0; croup, 9; debility 44infantile), 6; dropsy, 7; dropsy in the head, 13; wdysentry, 4; scarlet fever, 30; typhoid fever,7; dis” ease of heart, 8: hooping cough, 4; inflammation of bowels, inflammetion of brain, inflam- atstion of lengs, 20; marasmus (infantile), 17; ny Wasles, 5; smallpox, 14. There were eight pre- m ware births end twenty-seven still born cases. The dis eases arc classified as follows:—Bones, joints, &c., 1; | Tain and nerves, 65; generative organs, 5; heart and b'ood vessels, 12; lungs, throat, &c., 106; old age, 6; sk tin, &c.,.and eruptive fevers, 53; still born and prem tue birth, stamach, bowels, and other di- gestive } organs, gucertain seet and general fevers, 30; un tnown, 3; urinary organs, 3.

He was not expected to liye all day yesterday. Mr Kelly is one of the soft shell delegates at large to 4he Democra. *tie Cincianati Convention. Mesers, Hin ‘mock, Hicks and Kingsley, who have been on trial, « ‘harged with setting on foot in this city a hostile e. xpedition to .co-operate with Gen. Walker in Nica Tagua, were yesterday discharged by the United St. “es Commissioner, as he did not consider the testi: Yovy sufficient to warrant their detention. Riots have again broken out in Erie City, Pa. The office of the Constit) “ional in that.city wes destroy- ed by a mob on Fi ‘iday, in consequence of that paper advocating th ® intereats of the railroad. Threate were also made’ to damage the property of the railroad company. Our letters from Ror. , Paris and Dablin, toge ther with the extracts re. ‘ative to the rights of neu- twala and Assyrian antiq uities, published in our paper this morning, will be found of mu oh interest. ‘The Maysville and Lexii \gton Railroad, with ail ita appendages, was sold at L,exington on Tharsda for $501,090. ‘The cotton market was firm ,vesterday. The stiff: ness of holders had a tendency to heck sales. Flour continued dull.

Pnosprer.--The Dllahes a totter from n Miscou 4 that American Organ ot Washington oa g the inf a MedmeU TG Bue Gs ty tbe guesiion ‘What Hope for @urepe} Peace re-established, Russia having re- wounced at least for the present the Gesigns which have so long agitated Europe, France eager for industry, England anxious to employ ber capital—the whole world, in short, ready to make the most of the ceasation of hostilities, what can a prudent man safely hope for the Continet which has just been fvoling away its energies !n war? We do not, remember any time at which there were more incentives towards a lasting peace operating simulta neously in ‘Europe, than there are today. No one has any interest in anew war. Russia has had enough; France is hard up, and after all her boasted military system is giving way. England has learned enough from the Crimean report to suffer much before again committing her honor to the care of her nobility. Germa- ny has been risking rain for the sake of re- maining at peace. With the single exception of the diplomatiste, who are trying very hard to get up @ breeze which shall waft their per- ons into some coveted situation or other, everybody in Europe is engrossed by one single thought, and that ishow to make use of the peace. It is easy to point out various ways in which it may be turned to account, None of the in- stitutions of any part of the world are perfect; and though Europeans might not perhaps see as mapy faults in their institutions as Americans, they would still admit, unless they belonged to the most hardened school of conservatives, that they are eus- ceptible of improvement. Much may be done towards liberalizing the church. It is a most remarkable feature of our present civilization that the church alone, which is, or ought to be, the highest product of the cul: tivated intellect, has made no progress since the Reformation. Since Luther split Christen- dom, and the one half reformed because that was their banner, while the other half reform- ed to save themselves, the church has remained absolutely at astand still. Science has grown, learning has become common, politics have been humanized, every branch of art and men- ial developement has been advanced, but roli- gion has stood precisely where it was two hun- dred years ago. This we say not of one church alone, but of the whole Christian com- munity. Hence it follows that France, Prus sia and the German cities contain but few men of education and intellect who are believers. The whole is rejected because a part is obso- lete. Men in this country have been retained within the church by forms of Christianity, or at least of worzhip so loose that he must be a +keptic indeed whose belief would be shocked by their prejudices. But in Europe they have not had this resource. A little tact on the part of the clergy— both Protestant and Catholic— would suggest the humanizing of their reli gious systems, so as to extend the pale of the church by widening its gate. Will this be done? The legislative assemblies of Europe have not power enough. In 1815 the ery in Germany was for constitutions, and at that time many monarchs, in cluding Alexander of Russia, thought wel) ot granting them. Before 1823 not a vestige of what had been gained by or after the treaty of Vienna remained. In 1830 and 1818 the cry again was for free constitutions France got a fair one, Spain had had one for ten years, Belgium had one, Prussia got one, and £0 did Sardinia and some of the lesser German States. How does the account stand now? Belgium, Sardinia and Spain appear to be the sole representatives of liberal institutions on the Continent. France has lost her free legis- lative assembly, eo has Prussia, so have the German States under Austrian control. in Russia, Austria, Prussia, and Germany gene- rally; in the Two Sicilies, the Papal Domi nions, Lombardy, Portugal and France, the people have no direct or controlling influence over legislation. Is this as it ought to be, and will anything be done to mend it? The first instrument in.the education of a people for liberty is the press. It has been said that a free press cannot exist without pro- ducing liberty; we dowbt whether liberty could be realized at the present day without a free press. There is no free press in Europe, except at London, in England. The English press, mainly led by the Lendon Zines, while it is ocossionally ill informed and seemingly mischievous, is on the whole the safest ally that liberty has in Europe. In the long run, and temporary considerations of expedi- ency or insular prejudice lsid aside, the Londoa Times will be found to be o reliable democratic organ. It is eristocrd- tic and monarchical, and the Lord knows what besides, when it omits its purpose to rail at this country; but in European affaizs—in dealing with the Austrian questions, or the French question, or other kindred topics.of interest, it is pretty euré to be oftener on the side of truth and right and humanity, than opposed to them. But it is obvious that the London Zines will have enough to do at home with the ne cessary reforms in the British system; while, again, @ popular movement cannot be con- ducted by a journal in a foreign language. There must be continental journals as able as the Times, if anything is to be done well and solidly for the liberties of Europe. This question intertwines with another. If the young men of France and Germany are to inaugurate a new political system, more just to <he masses, and more favorable to hu- manity, they must be men of deeds, not words. For the last thirty years the men who heve fought the battles of liberty on either side the Rhine, have been for the mos‘ part either ex- cited ballag makers or poetic editors. They heve written splendidly for those who like tale writing: andeeally such is the confidence of het tone, and the range of their knowledge, that cheir readers have doubi:esa caught them- selves wishing privately that they could have been present at the creation, ac they could not have faited to furnish useful ewggestions, Un- happily, an this eartk this class of people are net capable of effectiag useful reforms, The mek who founded liberty in Messachusetts did not seek dor abstractions: they said that ajor Andros had no right to ring the bell of their mseting-houee, because it was theirs, and they bad built it with their money; and when he did, they took the frst opportunity of rising and expelling him. This was, and still is the Ameiican idea of liberty; and though we doubtless may be prejudiced in its favor, yet | still we cannot help wishing we saw some symptoms of similar notions among the Quro- pean democrate, They mean well, no doubt; | but our hopes in their effecting something | would he stronger if we were sure of a all ihg NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, APRIL 27, 1856.

Laxe vs. Jupae Dovetas—A War- Like Asrecr or Tue Kansas Question.—We publieh this morning the “card” of Colonel Lane, (United States Topeka Senator elect from Kaaeas,) in explanation of the very ami- cable relations at present subsisting between himeelf and Senator Douglas. This card, true or false, explains itself. We hope, however, there will be no blood spilt; but that a plentiful shedding of ink will tettle the question. It is imk that does the business in every war at last. There may be also a question as to which party belongs the responsibility of the lettre de cachet. Douglas says he does not consider the character of Lane cleared from the imputations cast upon it by that Kansas memorial, and Lane pronounces Douglas as but little better than a “treacher- ous friend,” “a burglar,” “ thief,” &c., &o. If the parties are mutually satisfied with these opinions respectively, why not, as it is, let the matter rest? A battle between these two hostile: democrats is certainly the last thing we should have dreamed of yesterday as among the probabilities of this Kansas war Col. Lane, we believe, commanded the Indiana volunteers at Buena Vista; and Judge Douglas appears of late to have taken quite a religious turn of mind. Some years ago, when at Rome, it was reported that he wasin danger of be- coming shining light of Holy Mother Church; but that was a mistake. We are assured, how- ever, that it is no mistake that he has of late, at Chicago, and at Washington, made a liberal cessian or two of real estate to the hard shell Baptist denomination, into which church Gen. Houston was baptized about a yearago. These contributions will be charged by the aboli- tionists as overtures of peace between Mr. Douglas and those three thousand New England clergymen of the original anti-Nebraska memorial; but we rather incline to the opinion that he has been acting under the religious influences of the good example of the Senator from Texas. We hope it may be so, and that Mr. Douglas will bave the Christian courage to sacrifice even the Cincinnati nomination, if required, rather than disgrace himeelf in a bloody affray at Bla- densburg, with Colonel Lane or Colonel any- body elee. ‘ Very Inrerestinc Concernine Gey. WALK ER AND THE SOUTHERN Kansas MoveMEnT.—The New Orleans Delta, in a leading article in be- half of the policy of Southern expansion, bear- ing the significant heading of “Clearing Our Flanke,” gives the following very interesting information and recommendations concerning Gen. Walker and the Southern Kansas move- ment, to wit:— Nothing but immediate action can save the great cause of self government, State acvereignty and Southern inde pendence from ruin. Walker is assailed by a superior force on one side—a force, very probably, composed of British and French ecldiers, calling themselves Costa Ricans, and armed with the Minié rifle supplied by France. In Kan- sas the pro siavery Layee ‘the representative men of the South, encounters deadty and delared opposition, and without instant reixforcement must succumb. We bave done something in aid of both, but it is shame’ully insufficient on the whole. We have Walker about a thousand fighting men from New Orleans, who paid their own passage, but the commurity has remainea re- markably. inactive. We have supplied Kansas, within few weeks, with several hundred Georgians, Caro- and Alabamians; but Louisiana has scarcely stirred a muscle to advance an organized movement in bebalf of our brethren co gallantly struggling for our rights, so rutblersly assailed. Somethin; than this 1s required. .The South, as an entirety, as a nationality, must aseist. Wa'ker and Rivas, Atshison Dougias. Tee main army must beware lest its flanks should be turned. It must be prepared to resist the Napoleonic strategy of its enemies. Our warlixe Southern contemporary next asks what is to be done? and immediately pro- ceeds to answer, with the voice of a trumpet as foilowe:— let us reinforce Walker. Let us send him men, mcney and means. Jet us make Granade the point @appui of Southern strategy. Let us pin ‘our poiiticiazs down to the cause of progress and ex: pansion, Let us appeal to the nonor and eo of our peop'e. Let public meetings be calledin the four dis- tricts cf New Orleans, a: e community brought face to face with the real truths of our condition, Tet suiii- cient money be rajred to charter verseis for San Juan, for the meacs of port alone are necdgd; the men will be fortheomirg in thcusands and tens of thousands. Let the fiery torch be handed from man to man; as in an In- dion lirk dance, until the whole Southern land is tongued by the flames of » universal conflagration. Now or never is our time. The fate of Ouba deperds upon the fate of Nicaragua, and the fete of the South oe upon that of Cuba. is the hour of cestiny. We must live now or bave no life. We must door die, Mark that eignificant disclosure—‘The fate | of Cuba depends upon the fate of Nicaragua !”’ If this be so, we fear that the zeal of the Delta cutruns its discretion. One thing at a time ; or two fields af action—Kansas and Nicaragua are quite wide enough apart, and quite enough of “ manifest destiny” for one cam- paign, The Nicaragua movement has nothing todo with Cuba, Jt is an independent affair. Cubs, too, is an island of sufficient length and solidity to stand aponita own bottom, and wait awhile. Besides, our progressive administra- tion has 20 disordered and damaged the policy of “ manifest destiny” in that quarter that we have no otber alternative than to wait. Let Cuba alone. He Doy’r Like Iz.—Frederick Douglass (black man) in his last “paper” says of Miss Murray’s work on the United States, that Fhe bad but to borrow a little of the pcpular coatempt pe cardics,” (rhach slang pbtase the aristocratic au- joress uses with peculiar glibnesr,) aud aprinkle it over lightly with the dust of a false and heartless philosophy, to asremble an admiring audience in fifjeen sigveholding States cf our Union at once; while the shocking strange- pectacle of a woman—aye! an English wo wean of noble position, standing up for ystem comprising every abomination, from wn to murder,) would be sure to make her notorious, and procure readers for her book in Exglard, Pretty eharp that for one of the “darkies.” Sorry we can’t say as much for the gallantry of our colored cotemporary. But the “pecu. liar ghibnees” with which Mise Murray uses the “slang. phrase” of “darkies” is an unpardone- ble sin, and Douglass must be excused. It is the mortal offence to a “free colored American” to call him.a darkie. Coot xp Cavriovs—The Albany State Regis- tw, considering the anti-Know Nothing pro- ceedings of the “old line whigs” of Kentuo- ky, thinks that Mc. Fillmore ought to come out at once “and avew his position and opinions and views onthe great issues of the times, in bold, distinct, frank and fearless language,”’ &c. Soft and fairly, Mr. Register, if you please. Mr. Fillmore has head of bis nomination, and takes it very coolly. According to our last European correspondence, he is even indiffer- ent upon the subject, and will probably with- hold any decision, yea or cay, until he shall have seen how the game is going among the democracy and the Anti-Slavery Holy Alliance. Perhaps, too, Mr, Fillmore may be waiting for an independent nominaticn from the “old line whiga.” Who knows? Can't the “live whige” of this city, with Governor Hunt to back them, get up @ “stratght whig’ move- nent to’ conrd him upon the matter? “Why plaue yy bere whb the way idles’ ‘The State Central Committee of the nigger worehippere’ party have isened the following call:— Wie pears of tate of Now York, without regurd to ¢ifler ences or di: whe repeal of the winsea'Compremine, the prevent o¢ministration, to ext s iy il iS as Hil i i i i t iF & s 158 Lal BeESs eg en at yu je, on the 1 caps idates View Presicent of the United States, “Restoring the action of the government to the principles of Washington and Jefferson!” That grest desideratum ought to draw a full houre.

THD LATEST NUBWS. BY MAGNETIC AND PRINTING TELEGRAPHS, Later lrom Mexico. ESCAPR OP TAMARIZ—CONFISCATION OF THE CHURCH PROPERTY —ATTEMPT TO BRIBE COMONPORT, ETC. New Ontxawe, April 26, 1856. By the arrival of the steamer Texas we have advices from Vera Cruz to the 224 apd Mexico to the 19th of April. The country was in @ more peaceful state, and cemmutication between the capital and other places war uninterrupted. Tamariz had escaped in disguise on board the English war ship Penelope, having reached Vera Croz cirguised as a drayman. Thecburch property had been finally seized by the military, the Bishop hav- ing refused to surrender it up. It is «aid that he had previcusly offered Comonfort $600,000 to bave the decree ef confitcation revoked. Movements of Mr. Buchanan. HIB ARRIVAL AT LANCASTER —DEMONSTRATIONS OF RESPECT—RECEPTION BY HIS NEIGHBORS, ETC. Lamcasrem, Pa., April 26, 1866. Mr. Buchanan's entrance into Pennsylvania was an ovation. He leit Philadelphia yesterday morning, and was received along the route, from Philadelphia to his home at Lancaster, by deputations of the people, of all partier, with significant demonstrations. All along the line there was a display of banners and an array of people, which manifested their heartfelt de votion for the great Pennsylvanian. On his arrival at his own house, the old, the yonog, the matron and the maid, all turned out to receive him. it wae a general and generous outpouring of the people. Business was suspended, ani the universa! voice wel- comed Old Buck. Men of a)! parties united in the recop- ton, ard amid the firing of cannon, and the ringing of church beils, ard the shouts of the people, he was greeted by bis friends. His speech in Centre square, to s large and ecthostastic assemblage of his neighbors and friends, was touching ard eloquent. He retired to his home amid the plaudits of bis fellow citizens. Never in the history of this populous region has there been such o manifestation of popular regard, since the visit of Lafayette. From Washington. GEN. HOUSTON AND THE PRESIDENCY—IIS PLAT- ¥ORM—TBF LOBBY—VISIT TO THE STEAMSHIP MEn- RIMAC— DISTURBANCES IN KANSAS—THE LANE AND DOUGLAS DIFFICULTY, ETC., ETC. Wasirxotos, April 26, 1856. General 2am Houston left here this afternoon for a brie visit to his family. He repudiates all politica! caucuses and conventions, and runs, I am authorized toe say, as an ndependent candidate for the Presidensy, trusting for his election to the great body of the people, and not to politioal wireworkers. He is now fairly in the field, and amzounces as his platform:—Opposition to the domestic and foreigu policy of the present administration; a restoration of the retired naval officers, and affcondemnation of no citizen withouta hearing. The announcement thus of Genora! Houston as a candidate for the Presidency cannot fail to exercise a controlling influence om Mr. Fillmore’s action, ae well as onthe nigger worshippers’ Convention, to mest in Philadelphia. The impression with many now is, that the race will be between General Houston and the Cin- cinnati nominee. The lobby agents are uneasy for the safety of their Duty bill, and well they may be, though their tafiuence is seen ard felt at every step. The Dovglas and Lare correspondenee, published in 3¢ Union, fally corroborates the correetness of my despatch in yesterday’s Heratp, Lane was sent off witha flea in his ear, and Mr. Watson, like a sensible man, refused to back him. Douglas triumphs. Avery large party, upwards of three hundred, com- prising Senators, representatives, government function. aries and their families and trien¢s, visited the Merrimac at Annapolis, to-day, and returned at seven o’clock this | evening. Everybody expressed themselves well pleased. Au elegant collation was spread before the hungry visit- ers, by Capt. Pencergrast, on board the Merrimac. I learn this evenirg, from a gentleman who has bern canvassing, that Buchanan has fifteen delegates to the Cincinnati Convention from Ohio, A derpatch was received here this evening stating that disturbances had again broken out in Kansas. No parti- culars given, except that some of ths authorities had been shot, The amount of forged land warrants already discovered exceeds one million of acres. The investigation is still in progress, and additional frauds are daily coming to Ught. Pa Rews from Kansas, Cincaco, April 36, 1856, A despatch from Leavenworth, dated the 22d tust., says that Sheriff Jones attempted to arrest man connected with the late cificxltits, but was resisted by three hua- dred men, when Governor Shannon ordered out the miii- tary.

The Waltham Fongeries. Boston, April 26, 185° The name of the person who disappeared from Waltham @ few cays since, after committing forgeries to the amount of $20,000, is Reuben P.

To have such aa hour, and mot regard it, is oniy amwockery. To have such an hour, and rot regard it, is very childish, To say, @ quarter ten A.
