Wew York, Thursday, June %6, 1856. The News. ‘Phe steamer Anglo-Saxon grrived at Quebec yes- terday, with ‘sondon dates to the 12th and Glasgow 0 the 13th. Consols closed on the 11th at 943. The cotton market was steady, with moderate sales. The discussion -of the American question continued in the newspapers, and our troubles in Kansas claimed attention. The Post is ot opinion that many in the United States look toa toreign-war as a means to avert a crisis in our domestic affairs, which can pro- bably be settled only by an appeal to arms. The Times says the question of retaining Mr. Dallas should rest entirely upon the guilt or innocence of Mr. Crampton. “If the latter be innocent, Mr. Dal Jas ought not to remain, and if guilty, no false pride should prevent us from acquiescing in his expulsion.” The Times also says Mr. Dalles is empowered to settle the differences connected with the Centra! American question, and if necessary, submit the points in dispute to arbitration. . There is no other news of importance. The steamship Asia, which left Liverpool on the ‘4th inst. for this port, is-now due. The State Committees-of the hard and soft sec- ‘tions of the democracy met at Albany on Tuesday evening, to arrange the pre liminaries for consumma- ting the union of the factions, as recommended by the Cincinnati Convention. After considerable >. -qnetting on the part of the hards, the proposition of the softs, to hold a State Convention composed of delegates from each Assembly district, was adopted by both parties. This Convention will nominate Presidential electors, and candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Canal Commissioner and State Prigon Inspector. There will be a lively time when the election of delegates comes off. Both houses of Congress were engaged yesterday im discuscing the interminable Kansas question. Bee our reports under the telegraphic head. The friends of Fremont and Dayton heid a ratifi- eation meeting at the Broadway Tabernacle last ‘evening. An immenee crowd was in attendance, and all seemed animated and harmonious. Mr. Stillman presided, assisted by a number of ‘Vice Presidents. Mr. Howard, of Michigan, of ‘the Kansas Investigating Committee, addressed the meeting, and his remarks were most en- thusiastically received. Mr. Turnbull, United States Senator; Mr. Emmet, and others, also address- ed the assemblage, responding to the nomination of Fremont in the most enthusiastic terms. Letters from Wiliiam ‘H. Seward, Preston King, and otner distinguished members of the party were received and read. After the meeting a procession was form- ed and visited the house of Col. Fremont, in Ninth street, where they appear to havehad a “good time” generally. A full report of tie proceedings is given elsewhere. Ex:President Fillmore visited Brooklyn yesterday, ‘m compliance with the invitation of the Common Council of that city. There wasa procession; the Mayor made a speech to him, he made a speech in return, and after that he made two more. He was toasted at a prirate dinner, and it is to be pre- umed made another speech. A serenade was given to him in this city last night, when he spoke again. A full report of all he said and did..and the scenes in which ‘he played s0 conspicuous.a part, will be found clsewhere. He leaves for Buffalo this morn- ing, at seven o'clock. Messrs. Howard and Sherman, of the Congres- sional Kaneas Investigating Committee, arrived in the city at nine o'clock yesterday morning, and are stopping at the Astor House. They ave accompanied by Mr. Upton, Sergeant-at-arms; Mr. Goodloe, clerk, and Mr. Blair, reporter. Hon. Mr. Oliver, the third member of the committee, stopped at his home in Missouri, where he will prepare 2 minority re- port previous to returning to Washington. The eommittee telegraphed to Boston, yesterday, for some witnesses to come on and testify relative to the action of the Emigrant Aid Society, whose opera- tions have figuzed conspicuously in the investigation, and are expected to form the strong point of the minority report. Ifthe witnesses arrive, they will be examined at the Astor House to-day, after which the committee will proceed immediately to Wash- ‘ington. In another part of this day’s Herazp will be found a report of the proceedings held before ex- Judge Peabody, as referee, in the matter of the ap- Plication of Samuel Jervis, an Engliahman, who followed his wile to this country with the intention of taking from her their three children, with whom she clandestinely left his home for the purpose, as is alleged, of joining the Mormons in Utah. The testimony is very extraordinary, and divested, as it is in our report, of ite grossness of language, will be read with much interest. It exhibits an amount of moral degradation on the part of the Mormonites, and, as far as the direct examination of the wife of the applicant goes, a series of domestic infidelities, and a want of paternal care on the partof the Eng- lish husband. Plurality of wives, brutality to chil- dren, and even incest, is sworn to be a common oc- currence among the “ Latter day Saints,” whilst the charges against the Fnglish husband are drunken- ness, cruelty, want of energy and a lack of morality, which led to the personal discomfort and ill health of his wife. Onr files trom Bermada are to the 11th inst. The British war sloop Malacea had arrived from Jamaica, with thirty-eight men down with yellow fever. She hhad lost eleven men, including eight officers, daring the passage, and could not proceed on her voyage North, owing to a want of hands. Four others died at Bermuda. Admiral Fanshawe was about to sail in his flag ship for Halifax. The war sloop Buzzard had left for England; and the Amphion, thirty-two guns, had arrived out. An addition had been made to the army, by reinforcements from home. Late advices from the West Indies, by way of Ber- muda, state that sugar was selling at high rates at Porto Rico. Admiral Elliot had resigned the Go- vernorship of Trinidad, and was sueceeded by the Governor of Grenada. He was, in turn, replaced by the Governor of St. Lucia. ‘The Commissioners of Emigration met yesterday, and in addition to other business, ordered their counsel to investigate the truth of certain affidavits made by emigrants against the agents of well known shippers. These parties are charged with defrauding great numbers of poor people out of sams which, though small in themselves, are large in the aggregate. Up to the 26th inst., 50,795 emigrants have landed at this port—15,791 leas than for the same period last year. In consequence of the increased emigration and decreased expenditure, the debt of the Commissioners is diminishing. At pre- gent the overdraft in the bank is $56,927 31. A treaty for the extradition of criminals has been concluded at the Hague between the Netherlands and the United States. The supply of beet cattle om paly yeaterdey wag NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1856. somewhat larger than required for the trade, aad prices declined } 8 1 cent per pound, the rates rang- ing from 8 to 11 cents, according to quality. For other stock the demand continued active, without material variation in prices. Mr. Mathew, late British Consn! at Philadelphia, sails from that port for Europe in the City of Balti- more to-day. In another column we give the proceedings and rejoicings of the citizens of Green Bay, Wisconsin, on the occasion of the passage of the first steamer from the Mississippi through the Pox river improve- ment into Lake Michigan. This is most impor tant work of internal improvement, commecting as it does the great lakes of the North with the Gulf of Mexico, and the Southwestern rivers with the North- ern Atlantic by the aid of the Wlland canal. The connection of Fox river, which empties into Lake Michigan at Green Say, with the Wisconsin river, which flows into the Mississippi, ie made by a ship canal, which has been cut from Portage city, in Co lumbia county, Wisconsin, to Lake Winnebago. The holders of cotton continued firm yesterday, which restricted sales to about 600 a 800 bales, | chiefly to spinners, without change in prices. Deal- | ers were disposed to await later and more decisive | news from abrosd. Flour wason active demand for export, and advanced about 'l0c. per barrel, especial- ly on the medium and better class of brands: : provements,” including the gold mines of Cali- fornia, and the Congressional railroad land job- bers, &c., will come again, and in ten-fold lustre, to be followed by a crash of corresponding grandeur. In this broad and general view of a single re- form in the Cabinet, how sublime will be the “ manifest destiny” of Mr. Forney when he: shall come to'apply the came progressive interpretation to every department of the government! We stand appalled before the tremendous tout ensemble. Gurboats and bombardments, bombs, drums and batteries, victorious descents of irresistible Anglo- Saxons upon Cuba, Hayti and all the islands of the'Gulf of Mexico—great battles on land and sea—splendid victories, creating heroes by the thousand, and lighting the whole land, frem Coney Island to San Francisco, in a perfect blaze of gicry—are some of the elements of the gorgeous future before us, with Mr. Forney once more at “the head of the Kitchen Cabinet and the Presi- sdent’s organ. Marc#has stood in the way, a re- gular old Cerberus, or we might have had a taste of these things under this dispensation of Mr. Pierce. Marcy will be out of the way in ’57, and the coast will be clear. Wheat was also active, with free sales, chiefly of the middling and lower qualities, at prices given in another column. Choice lets continued to be sceree and quite firm. Gorn sold freely without change of importance in quotations. ‘Rye was firm, with sales of Western at 82c.; Pennsylvania at 83c., and prime Northera at Sic..a S6c. Pork again advanced 25c. a 50c. per barrel, and sates of mess were made at $20 25 a $20 50, and 820 was offered for 1,000 ‘arnels, contract lot, to arrive, and refused. Lard was alsofirm, as well as provisions generally. about 15200 lihds., at full prices. Coffee was in fair request and rather more doing at steady prices. Freights were firmer for English ports. Wheat opened, to Liverpool, at-7d. a 74d. and closed at 74d. a 8d., in bulk and bags, with engagements of about 50,000 a 60,600 bushels; flour was pretty freely taken at 2s. 6d.; ‘flour and grain were also firm, for London. A fair amount was also offering for Havre at steady rates. Mr, Buchanan and‘his Incoming Adminis- ‘tration. There-can ‘be no doubt, from the confident tone of the democratic journals, that they consider the election of Mr. Buchanan a foregone tonclusion —that, in fact, he has but to pass through the mere form of .an election, in order to secure the honors, the responsibilities, and, above all, the spoils of the Presidency. In this view, we are in- formed that those who believe themeelves most in the confidence of the sage of Wheatland, are arranging, in a quiet way, the distribution of his Cabinet:and foreign appointments, The Kitehen Cabinet and the administration organ, par excel- lence, for 1857, are already appointed—Mr. John W. Forney being chairman of the one, and the Pemsylvanien, of whieh he is still doubtless the manager, beingthe other. In that paper of June 20, we find the following call:— DEMOCRATIC STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE. c State Central Commit- Harrisburg, on Wed- The members of the tee wall mec at Henry 25, at two o'clock P.M. JOHN W. FORNEY, Chairman. This was, perhaps, a meeting to arrange the business. of the eampaign—perhaps it may have dipped into more important matters. It is enough for the democracy to know that the Pennsyleanian is the prima donna of Mr. Buchanan's organs, and that Mr. Forney holds the delicate and confiden- ial relations to the democratic nominee of Mr. Boswell to Dr. Johnson. Under Mr. Pierce's pe- culiar dispensation, the Boston Post has been the fountain of all excellencies, and the source of all favors—the Union, at Washington, being a mere shadow of an organ, and the Penxsylranian having fallen into positive disgrace with the discovery of Mr. Forney’s cool ingratitude to Mr. Pierce. Now, since the nomination of Mr. Buchanan, the Bos- ton Post sinks into the insignificant character of a provincial satellite; and the Washington Union is simply retained under the statute of limita- tions, which expires on the 4th of March next. The Pennsylvanian is the true oracle, and Mr. For- ney is the high priest of the sanctuary for the new democratic dispensation. Doubtless Mr. Forney will hold, under Mr. Buchanan, the same important position of Chair- man of the Kitchen Cabinet that he has occupied (till within a month of the Cincinnati Conven- tion) throughout this eventful and exciting ad- ininistration of Mr. Pierce. Indeed, we learn that already, in consultation with the favored few of the inside council, Mr. Forney has been at work upon Cabinet and foreign appointments, and upon some incipient arrangements deemed to be necessary in view of securing a democratic House of Representatives of the right stripe with which to open the administration of Mr. Bucha- nen. To this end, for example, we are informed that orders have been received from Harrisburg to the Custom House democracy of this city. that the dietrict represented by Gen. Walbridge in the last Congress, must this time be given to Hon. Daniel E. Sickles, Mr. Buchanan's Secreta- ry of Legation at London, and an Ostend filibus- ter tried and trusty. We leave this matter to the digestion of our affectionate hardshells and softehells, and turn to a larger branch of our sub- ject. x Who is to be Mr. Buchanan's Secretary of State, is still a mooted question. Some suppose that it will be Mr. Soulé, some say Mr. Douglas, some say Mr. Hunter, and others that it will be no other man than Governor Wise, of Virginia, pro- vided John Van Buren has no objection on ac- count of old scores. We shrewdly suspect, how- ever, from a chain of curious facts and circum- stances, that for Secretary of the Treasury, Hon. Auguet Belmont, Mr. Pierce’s Minister at the Hague, is the man in the eye of Mr. Forney. Mr. Belmont’s recommendations for this post, under a high pressure filibuetering Kitchen Cabinet, are just the thing. He is a prince among good fel- lows, filibusters and financiers. He bleeds freely ina good cause. He is one of that imperial Jewish house of the Rothschilds, which holds kings, emperors, princes and potentates under tribute for the exigencies of peace or war. He is an active and enterprising speculator, and never suffers money in his hands toremain idle— but turns it over and over, cent per cent. He has done something in this line at the Hague, The Dutch have given him little else todo. His financial resources, his financial talents and his filibustering sympathies, render him the very man, fn a word, for Mr. Forney’s Secretary of the Treasury. Put August Belmont in Mr. Guthrie's place, and the old story of twenty-odd millions of hard cath lying idle in the sub-treasuries will soon be changed into different music. The credit mobilier system, now all the rage in Paris, and through- out Continental Europe, under the auspices of Louis Napoleon, will, under the auspices of Mr. Belmont, as Secretary of the Treasury, give an impulse to the operators in Wall street unsurpassed by anything in the brilliant shin- plaster epooh of Van Buren’s administration, Thor goed Ad daze, “ wih all Wig modera ian, Sugars -eontinued firm, with sales of Amos Kendall was the Richelieu behind the scenes of the Jackson and Van Buren adminis- trations ; John Jones was the“ good man Fri- “day” of Captain Tyler ; General Taylor had a score of scene shifters, and Mr. Fillmore rejeiced under the counsels and confidence of Edward Curtis, It is, perhaps, reserved for John W. For- ney, after having been the Marplot of Mr. Pierce to become the magnificent Cardinal Wolsey of Mr. Buchanan. Let us bope that with his past experience, should he return to rule the roast at Washington, he will at least provide us a few gunboats for our coast defences before venturing upon the active fulfilment of the Cincinnati plat- form and the Ostend manifesto. Ivrorrayt From Cenrrat AMERICA—GENERAL Carrera Desertep sy w1s TROOPS, AND WALKER EveRYWHERE TriumPHaxt.—It will be seen by a letter, which we publish in another column, from Key West, that the apprehensions caused by the reported march of Carrera, President of Guate- mala, against General Walker, sre at an end. Carrera did actually setout fron his capital at the head of 3,000 men, with the full determina- tion of giving Walker battle ; but before he reached the boundaries of his cwn territory the army he had with him were redaced by desertion and death to about 500 men, with whom, of course, he dared not attempt an invason of the Nicara- guan territory. He therefore wisely marched back to his capital, less fortunate than that cele- brated King of France, who took back with him all the forces which he had mustered for his mountain expedition, Asto the Costa Ricans, they seem to have had enough of the contest. When they should have formed a junction with Carrera, every man of them was found to have unaccountably disappeared fron the Guatemalan territory. So that General Walker has now no- thing to apprehend from eitha of those States. Honduras very properly refused to allow the Guatemalan army to pass through her territory, knowing that if she did-se she would be apt to be confounded by Walker in his measures of re- taliation. San Salvador continues friendly to the Americans, and the new order of things in Nica- ragua may now be fairly looked upon as consoli- dated. We learn also, through the same channel, that the recruits from New Orleans, with six pieces of artillery and a large quantity of munitions of war, had found no difficulty in joining General Walker. It turns out that the Tinklepaugh pro- test was made under an entire misapprehension of the views and feelings of Captain Tarleton, of the Eurydice, who, so far from contemplating anything offensive or hostile towards the Ameri- cans, permitted, when he had the power to pre- vent, the New Orleans expedition proceeding to the aid of General Walker. This is as it should be, and leaves one item the less in the balance of accounts between Lord Clarendon and Mr. Secre- tary Marcy. We ‘are infornted that since the departure of Padre Vijil, Major John P. Heiss, an ac- tive, shrewd, practical, go-ahead man, has suc- ceeded pro tem to the functions of the Nica- raguan Minister to this pet ay and that ina short time we may expect to hear of his formal appointment in the premises by the Walker government. ‘ajor Heiss is the man for the position, and with the opportunity and authority given him, he will soon show what may be done in New York and elsewhere in behalf of rein- forcements to the Walker enterprise. We also understand that Commodore Vanderbilt has lately renewed his negotiations at Washington in reference to the Transit business, and that there is every prospect that he and his company will soon be restored to the full benefits of their ori- ginal charter, by a compromise with the new company to whom the transfer was made of the monopoly of the route. If all these reports be true, as we have reason to believe they are, Gen. Walker will soon be placed upon so firm a foot- ing in Nicaragua as to enable him very speedily to give to the Clayton-Bulwer treaty a new and definite interpretation. Hox. Jonny A. Dix Comtya Ovt—Mr. Dix, it appears, has concluded to go for Mr. Buchanan. Mr. Dix and Mr. Dickinson may, therefore, shake hands again. The bulk of the little fish, hards and softs, having come into the Cincinnati net, the big ones among the outsiders are also drop- ping in. Best chance, they calculate. Mr. Dix, perhaps, may be sent upon that foreign mission, in regard to which he was egregiously hum- bugged by Mr. Pierce. To make all sure, how- ever, Mr. Dix should go early over into Ponnsyl- vania, and have a friendly consultation with Mr. Forney. He may be found, perhaps, at Philadel phia, or Harrisburg, or Wheatiand. The best course would probably be to Wheatland direct, for if the Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee should not be there, Mr. Buchanan may have the necessary information of his whereabouts, Aspirants for good places should apply early, because the openings will be limited, there being many good democrats in office that can’t very #@Ml be turned out, Tue SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE ScrrereRrs BY THE Ixunpations.—We yesterday received from an anonymous correspondent a bank bill for the aid of the sufferers by the inundations in France, This is a prompt response to our appeal, and we have no doubt that the example will be generally and liberally followed. Let us impress upon the henevolently disposed that there is no time to be lost in this work of charity. The wide spread ruin cansed by this calamity calls for instant ac- tion on our part. Onno occasion can we illus trate more forcilly the truth of the Latin. pro- verb, Bis det qui cto dat. Our aid, to be appre- ciated, muri be immediate. The names of the goutaibutors Will be publlaed Que & Miylie ‘The Receystion of Fillmore. Our celumns hyve been filled during the past couple of days with accounts of the reception of Mr. Millard Pillmore by his enthusiastic friends in this city : and Broadway has been somewhat incommoded by the same event. It ought per- haps to provoke little remark, either way. For on the one side there is nothing very singular in the desire of members of the party whose candi- date he is to get upa little genial enthusiasm about the old gentleman’s return; nor, on the other, has any one, far or near, such objections to Fillmore as would render such ovations offensive" to his feelings. If it isa settled thing that the streets and the newspapers are to be filled with processions and bands of brothers, and bands of music, and large carts, and flags, and tawdry masqueraders, whenever a respectable old gentle- man, who has been President, and is asked to be again, comes back to the bosom of his country, there can be no objection whatever to so harmless a proceeding—at all events, until the police of the streets is better managed than it is likely to be under Mayor Wood. But people living at a distance must be careful how they.understand the accounts of gatherings and processions in New York, This is tolerant and a divided city; any one of the three candidates for the Presidency could fill the streets with banners and crowds, and music on the shortest notice, and his enemies would quietly stand aside. - It must not be supposed for an-in- stant that Mr. Fillmore would be likely to carry this city because his followers filled Broadway. If the truth were known, many of the very men who swelled his cortege swelled the republican meet- ing last night, and will turn out with the demo- crates. The demonstration signifies little or no- thing, politically. It may, however, have one peculiar significa- tion, to which it is well that the attention of the republicans should be drawn. The noise and cla- mor, and crowds, and gunpowder, andflags which have been so busily engaged in the Fillmore ser- vice may indicate a determination on the part of the Fillmore men to make better terms with the republicans on selling out. This impres- sion is confirmed by a reference to the speeches made on Tuesday. One of the speakers, a pro- minent Know Nothing—Mr. Ullman—spoke of Fillmore carrying this State. If such a remark were made by a greenhorn it would only be re- garded as a joke; in the mouth of Mr. Ullman, who knows as well as any one how utterly im- possible it would be for Mr. Fillmore to do any- thing of the kind, in the face of the united demo- cracy, it looks uncommonly like an effort to raise the market value of Know Nothing votes. Mr. Fillmore, we are aware, has declared his determination to stand to the nomination so long as his friends desire it, And had Mr. Fillmore made no such declaration, no one who knows him would suspect him of being a party to any corrupt bargain tor his own withdrawal. But the thing can be managed without his know- ledge. He can be sold off behind his back. And considering the position of parties—the absurdi- ty of Mr. Fillmore’s candidateship, the certainty of Mr, Buchanan’s triumph if the Know Nothings and republicans do not coalesce, and the tone and attitude of the Know Nothings here—we cannot help thinking that that is the game which these Tuesday speakers, and the American orgam in this city are playing. Let Mr. Fillmore look to it that none of their odium cling to his skirts, Era or a DeGrapep Press.—For six months before every election in this country, the party journals, some fifteen hundred in number, get perfectly intoxicated with political passion, and lose all common sense and decency together. This peculiar disease varies in form and shape. Some are more abusive; some more covertly treacherous. The Pennsylvanian, which is one of the organs of Mr. Buchanan, and will be, in the event of his success, the mouthpiece of Forney and the supreme Kitchen Cabinet, has already commenced the war by attempting to villify Fremont. It contents itself at this early period with stating that he is a defaulter to government ; that he abandoned his men in the snow ; that he is heartless, cruel, and dishonest. This is pretty fair for a beginning. As the canvass goes on, we shall find the Pennsylvanian accusing Fremont of idolatry, Sabbath breaking, disrespect of his parents, murder, adultery, stealing, lying and covetousness, in regular decalogical order. Nor are the republicans behind. All sorts of old trash about Mr. Buchanan’s opinions thirty and forty years ago is being dug out of the tomb to be used against him—no one ever dreaming that Mr. Buchanan would have need to have been a fool indeed, if he had lived all these years with- out changing his opinions. But this is only the beginning. We shall, doubtless, soon see how low the press can be made to sink. Mr. Srrincrectow.—This distinguished lion of the West appears to be at Washington, where he is making a sensation, We much desire that he would come here and give a lecture on the sub- ject of Kansas, We have heard several anti-sla- very lectures and speakers, and know their views on the subject: we should now like to hear the other side.

The American government's inti- mation of its intention, it says, is accompanied by the most profuse assurance of good will and respect towards this country. Mr. Dallas, the Times is assured, is armed with the fullest powers to negotiate and finally settle the disputes connected with the Central American question; and if unable to come to an agreement, the contracting parties are empowered, without further reference to America, to refer the question to the arbitration of some impartial third person, to be selected by mutual concurrence. “As regards our retaining Mr. Dallas,”’ says the Times, “that question should rest entirely upon the guilt or inno- cence of Mr. Crampton.

The first proposition was submitted by the softs, who offered to unite in @ call for # State Convention to nomi- nate a single ticket for Governor, Licutenant Governor, Canal Commissioner, and State Prison Inspector. ‘The bards presented a proposal that each section should call a State Convention, to meet at the same time and in the same city, each to comprise one delegate from an Assembly district; upon assembling the two Conventions, then fresh from the people, should proceed'in such a manner as might be deemed most proper for the permanent union and harmony of the democratic party, by selecting such names of candidates as would give general satisfaction to the party. The softs took this proposition into considera- tion, and discussed both plang quite thoroughly. An agreement was finally arrived at to hold one convention. The Commissioners received subscript%ns for the Al- bany bridge to-day. The amount offered is sufficient to build half a dozen bridges.

STATEMENT OF THE MASSACHUSETTS KANSAS AID SOCIETY: Mr. Wnsow, (nigger worshipper), of Mass., presented & petition from the officers of the Massachusetts Emi. grant Aid Society, setting forth the objects of tha organization, and stating that they haye been much misrepresented by the majority report of the Commit~ tee on Territories. They say that their society did nob cause the troubles in Kansas, having never infringed any law nor interfered with the peaceful execution of it—thad they have never invested a dollar in any munitions oF war—that they have never sent persons to control elece tions in Kangas, nor hired any man, except as a busines® agent, to go there—that they have never paid the passag® of a single emigrant, nor is it within the knowloge of the company that any person has gone out under their aus pices with ey, other views than those of settling and staying in the Territory. They also represent that theig property has been destroyed by the recent outbreaks, and pray that the offenders may be brought to justice, and compensation be made for the losses and injuries have sustained. The petition was referred to the Committee on Claims, ‘THK RUST AND GREELEY AFFAIR. Mr, Jouxsoy, (dem.) of Ark., toox exception to some oF Mr. Seward’s comments yesterday, en the conduct of Mr. Rust in assaulting Horace Greeley some time ago. Mr. Sewakp vindicated the correctness of what he had aid, according to the facts, so far as they ‘6 within: his knowledge and recollection. He did not, however, af he time remember the precise grounds on which the ate ack was made, " KANSAS AFFAIRS. Mr. Forrm, (nigger worshipper) of*Conn., alluded to the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill at about the hour of midnight, on the 25th of May, 1854, The darkness which then enyeloped the earth yielded to the light of the coming day, but the darkness and. gloom.which had been caused by that bill did not pass away: It ha® been increasing until it now enveloped the iand with @ broad black shadow. Mr. Foster spoke with earnestness in defence of the “Emigrant Aid So« citty, and vindicated Professor Silliman. and Rev. Mr. Beecher and Mr. Dutton. The meeting in New Haven, in Mr. Dutton’s church, was to bid larewellto their friends, who were about tg Jeave for Kansas, and the arms furnished were merel; self defence. It wag a significant fact that not one of that party wi rere thug furnished with rifles had ever been engaged in a yo the disturbances in that Territor; If Profexsor Sillimam had uo stone cast at him except by those who had done more than he for the good of his ‘race, he would be much more likely to attain the age of Methuselah than to suffer the martyrdom: oi Stephen, Mr. Foster maintained that over slavery in the States the general government has no power, and that. where there ‘was no power there was no responsibility, and should be no intermeddling. The existence of slavery in the“ tories was an entirely different matter: Being w successful in discovering what was the gveat prin- ciple in the Kansas Nebraska Dill, he |:id dowm what he conceived to be the true doctrine, namely, that Congress has exclusive power over the matter. * slavery was right, he could be wrong. He would recome mend that wherever slavery existed in the Territori that it be abolished; and wherever it did not, that should be forbidden. ‘Mr. Bexsanin, (dem.) of La., expressed his gratification at the tone and temper of Mr. Foster’s speech, it. being 80 different from what he had been accustomed to hear from those entertaining such opinions on the subject-of slavery. The matter had been discussed ina manner eminent becoming a Senator representing one of the sovereiga States of the confederacy. On motion of Mr. Wetter, the Kansas Dill and all the proposed amendments were then recommitted to the Committee on Territories. Adjourned, House of Representatives. Wasninetox, June TERRITORIAL BUSINESS, The House passed the bill authorizing the President to cause to be delivered, at the expense of the United States, to Utah and New Mexico, such arms as they are entitled to under existing laws. ‘The bill establishing two additional land districts im Kaneas was tabled by 26 majority. "TIE TROUNLES IN KANSAS, Mr. Grow, (nigger worshipper) of Pa., said that on the 80th of May, 1854, an act was passed organizing Kansag as a Territory, and that the census of 1855 showed 2,905 voters; but at the election which chose the Legislature that enacted a code of laws for Kansas, there were 6,33 voters. Those laws the people believed opjressive and wrong, and, emanating fiom the usurpation of legislative power, they are not bound by considerations of justice and right to submit to them. " Senator Clayton recently declared those acts to be unexampled, and palpably en just and oppressive, and some of them unconstitut 4 ‘besides being insulting to honorakle men whe might differ from him on political questions. The people of the Territory, believing that resistance to tyranny is dience to God, called a convention, in a constitutional and egal way, and adopted a constitution at Topeka. Mr. Grow gave a history of the attendant proceedings and poke of the difficulties in Kansas, and of the frui ef- orts of the federal authorities to suppress them. Mr. Stervens, (national) of Ga., gave notice of his ine tention to submit a substitute for the pending bill, toguar@ against all the evils of which Mr. Grow complained. ‘Mr. SurrH, (dem.) of Tenn., said reason, not passion, ought to reign. We had passed through many scenes of dis- turbance since the adoption of the constitution. The publi¢ mind was willing to come to @ reasonable conclusion on the questions which have divided all sections of the coun- try. The gentleman from Pennsylvania denounced the Executive for a fuilure to enforce the laws, or Pag in their execution, but some men in the South utter lar complaints. This furnished the highest evidence thas the President has nobly done his duty to the entire country. This was not a time for recrimination, but, if possibic, at once to quict the prevailing excitement. He thought the bill recently introduced into the Senate Dy Mr. Toombs equitable and jast, and based ona prin- cipal, so far as slavery is concerned, on which ail mem who love the Union could unite. Mr. Smith believed that 25, 1856, both sections have acted unprudently rding the Kansas difficulties, which are fast betnging into disrepute the fair fame of our republic.’ The President has done all in his power to prevent insurrection and preserve the public peace, and he was gratified to know that the efforts of the Executive were likely to succeed; but Congress has done nothing, notwithstand: the recommendations of the President for the adoption additional measures to secure tranquillity. Mr. GRow moved to recommit the bill to the Come mittee on Territories. Mr. Dun, (nigger worshippeer), of Ind., said he un- cerstood Mr. Grow’s design Was to'prevent the bill from being sent to the Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union. He hoped, however, that a bill involving £0 many important principles would be sent there, 8 that it might have the widess discussion. Experience had shown that it was the best place for that purpose, Amendments may there be offered and fully debateds It what appeared in the newspapers there be true, the Governor und Lieutenant Governor of Kansas, and all gentlemen connected with the [Boer ee there, are un> der indictment for treason, which offence was not baila- ble. Suppose Kansas was admitted into the Union, what provision did the gentleman — from Pennsylvania make for that state of affairs? Let the tri- bunals of the country take their quiet course. Talk of @ dixsolution of the Union, it would be mockery in compar rison with the revolution and bloodshed which would en- sue under this condition of things. He would go far to establish freedom in that Territory, but would oppose all measures to extablivh it by the subversion of our’country. He was notto be moved, by outside pressure or inside per- suasion. Let this important measure go where other im- portant bills go, and be there considered, Mr. w said Mr. Dunn knew as well as any. man that to send the bill to the Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union was to kill it effectually. Any man who would yote to send it there might as well yote against the bill directly, The question was,twhether the House was ready to relieve the people of Kansas from: ther present oppression by admitting them ag a. Stated What right would thus be trampled down? As to the Governor and Licutenant Governor being indicted for treason, the admission of Kansas into the Union would perhaps furnish a remedy ; but if not, provision could be made to meet the case. Mr. Dux~ moved to refer, pending which the House passed @ bill to establish a road from Fort Ridgely, Min= eee to the South pass of the Rocky Mountains, in Ne+ raska, Adjourned. Markets.
