Hi Hi Hi ! | i account closed at 944 a 94g. There was im cotton. Breadstuffs were firm, and upward. yesterday Mr. Thompson, of Ken- , made a speech in favor of the bill reported Territorial Committee, providing for the ad- of Kansas. Mr. Bigler also spoke on the side. Mr. Hale opposed the bill. Mr. Adams, ef Mississippi, moved to amend by striking out that part which gives the right of suffrage to persons who shall have filed their declaration of intention to ‘Become citizens of the United States, in compliance with the naturalization laws. Mr. Crittenden sup- ported the amendment. Before taking the question ‘the Senate adjourned. Im the House Mr. Barclay, of Pa., a Buchanan de- ‘mocrat, moved a reconsideration of the vote whereby ‘the bill for the admission of Kansas with the Topeka constitution was rejected. The motion caused con- siderable excitement. Mr. Houston moved to lay it on the table, and amidst the confusion that ensued te majority of the Kansas Investigation presented ‘heir report. The minority report will be forth- eoming in a day or two. We devote a large portion ef our valuable space this morning t» the publica tion of the majority report. It is, indeed, a formida- ble document; ana iv. we benefit of such of our read- ers as may be deterred by the prevailing warm wea- ‘ther from its perusal we give the following synopsis of its contents:— The report shows that as soon as the bill to organize the Territory of Kansas was passed a large number of the citizens of Missouri went int» ‘the Territory and held squatter meetings, passed re- eelutions denouncing abolitionists, aud declaring Sbat slavery existed therein. In the autumn of 1854 a secret political society, culled “The Blue Leds,’ was formed, the plan of operations of which, with its oa’hs, &c., are given in the report This Lodge controlled all the subsequeut move nenta and invasions on the part of the Missourians. At ‘We election November 24, 1854, for a delegate in ‘Congress, there was no evidence of fraud except in sparsely settled and remote districts, where citizens ef Micsouri appeared and voted. During the winter of ‘54-'55 great excitement existed im the Territory, onaccount of the invasion, ‘apd much bitter feeling was manifested. In Webruary, 1455,a census was taken, and the namber of legal voters was ascertained to be 2,905. Pre- vious to the election in the spring of 1855, active preparations were made in Missouri to invade the ‘Territory, and a complete amgamiation was effected. Leaders were chosen, tents, ypovisions, amunition and arms distributed, and thé forces were drilled im companies in Missouri; and on the day before ‘the election, it is testified, at least five thousand Missourians took up the line of march for Kaneas, and companies went into every repre wentative district of the Territory except one- Wrom ascurate and almost absolute proofs it ap peared that of about 6,300 votes cast at the elec- ‘son for members of the Territorial Legislature. 5,000 were thore of nen-residents. The majority of ‘the members of both houses of the Legislature, would have been free State men if there had beea ‘mo invasion of Missourians. ‘The committee took a large mass of testimony re- q@arding the proceedings of the Legislative Assem. bly, which proceedings they state are characterized by recklessness and injustice. The report likewise allodes to ‘he murders, robberies and other crimes committed in the Territory, and states that in no ease, except that of McRae, (a free State man) was ‘there any prosecution for those offences. No indic > ments were found, no arrests made, and no measures taken to bring the perpetrators to justice. ‘The report says it is clearly proven that Samuel J. Jones, the Sheriff, was the niain cause of the recent @isturbances in which he so prominently figured. It is also proved that Mr. Oliver, one of the Investi- iting Committee, went into Missouri with one of the invading companies. The conclusions of the Oommi'ttee are, that each of the elections in Kansas ‘was carried by invasion from Missouri; that conse- qnently, the Legislative Assembly is an illegally constituted body and has no power to pase valid laws; therefore its enactments are void. The elec tion of G. W. Whitfield as delegate to Congress ‘war not held under any valid law—neither was that of Mr. Reeder in accordance with law. The Com- mit ee suggest no remedy. The report alludes to obstructions thrown in the way of the Committee ‘and to the general violence which prevails in the ‘Territory.

The cotton market was quiet yesterday, but holders continued firm. The sales were confined to some 500 bales, without quotable change in prices. Flour was 5c. a lOc. per barrel higher, especially for good common and medium grades. Wheat was in fair demand, without important change in prices. Corn was in moderate supply, and prices steady, with moderate sales. Rye was heavy. Pork closed at $20 25a $20 37}. for mess. Lard continued firm.

They were also firm for London and for Glasgow. To Havre and other continental ports there was no change of impor- tance to notice. Mr. Pierce, Mr. Douglas, the Nebraska Bill end the South—A Short Sighted Caleula- ton. ‘The idea of Mr. Pierce, Mr. Douglas, and other democratic speculators, when they took up the repeal of the Missouri compromise, was that it would forever settle the slavery question, and that they would be the first to profit from the happy experiment. What delusion! Instead of settling the slavery agitation, the Nebraska bill has only re-opened it, and in its most viru- lent form. Instead of resulting in the exaltation - of its Northern authors, this bill has recoiled upon them, and we need only to refer to the Cin- cinnati Convention. Instead of giving the de- mocracy an indefinite tenure of power, the bill has raised up a revolutionary movement which has been pulverising, and is destined utterly to destroy, this once proud democratic party. Mr. Buchanan was nominated at Cincinnati, because he could prove a satisfactory alibi, The South itself recoiled from Messrs. Pierce and Douglas. But Mr. Buchanan was out of the country—he had protested from the other side of the Atlantic against this Kansa+Nebraska bill—be had no hand in its passage—he was innocent; but he accepts the Cincinnati platform, the Nebraska bill, border ruffians, filibusters and all, and must sink or swim with the sectionalized nigger-dviv- ing democracy. The choice of a candidate upon an alibi, was a killing rebuke to Mersrs, Pierce and Douglas; but the alibi, as far as Mr. Bu- chanan is concerned, is wholly neutralized by his Cincinnati platform. The Kaneas-Nebraska bill was a sad mistake to the South. Heretofore that section has con- trived to manage our national politics, our na- tional elections and our national government by a silent concentration of its strength upon one commen point, and in one common direction. In this manner, from the time of Jefferson, the South has quietly had its own way, securing from time to time new States and new Territories to. its cause, of imperial dimensions and of fabu- lous riches. But by this Nebraska bill they have killed the goose which laid their golden eggs The anti-slavery sentiment, which was the controlling idea in politics of but an insignificant Northern faction, has be- come the Shibboleth of a great Northern party. Nor is this the worst of it. It is only the begin- ning. This anti-slavery reaction in the North will henceforth continue the vexed question be- tween the two sections for generations yet to come. Settle the immediate quarrel now, in the admission of Kansas, and it will be revived again with Nebraska, and so on to the end of the chap- ter. “Men may cry peace, peace, but there isno peace,” and there can be no peace, benceforth, upon this suject. The South has lost its prestige and its power, by betraying the secret of its strength. That secret was the silent embodiment of its vote, its influence, and its counsels in be- helf of its “peculiar institution,” and thus, in- stead of frightening the North, the effective sup- port of the North was secured. Now this is all gone, and gone, perbaps, forever. Such short-sighted political gamblers as Pierce and Douglas—whose scope of vision extended only to the horizon at Cincinnati—it was not to be expected could see this comprehensive solu- tion to their desperate game. But we foresaw it. Reasoning coolly from experience, and from cause to effect, it was easy to foresee it. Yet we ap- proved the repeal of the Missouri compromise, first as the repeal of an extra constitutional act ; and secondly, because this repeal was the very thing to break to pieces this old rotten democratic party, and its complicated machinery of corrup- tion, demoralization, viee andcrime. Mr. Dixon, of Kentucky, was right. It was the box of Pan- dora which he gave to Mr. Douglas, in that sug- n that he had better rub out thet Missouri line. And whet are these old political hacks doing now at Washington? Busy with their pateh- work and plastering schemes for the purpose of an armirtice on this Kansas difficulty. But the ball which they have set in motion has received a mementum which our peddling politicians can- not understand; and Seward and Chase are as much befogged by this revolutionary commotion as Pierce and Douglas. No matter whether Fremont be elected or defeated, this popular movement for a political revolution will go on— a broad and general revolution and a general sweeping out of all the old political party offal © the country. If Col. Fremont does not conduct his care better than did Gen. Scott, we «hall soon ship him off. Let him shut the door against all officious bueybedies and Jeremy Diddlers, and keep quiet, and his speed and bottom over the Presidential track may astonish even Mr. billmore, Mr. Buchanan, surrounded by the peaceable and substor yeomanry of old Lancaster county, Penney!vania, consoles himself, as he serenely mt his afternoon segar in his bachelor's bail at Wheatland, that all this trouble about Kansas and the slavery question will be settled in six werks, Short-sighted philosopher! This present agitation is good for sixty, nay, ax hundred years if Southern slavery and this federai Union sball endure © long. We have at length touched upon the direct issue—shall thie Southern institution of slavery be further extended or stopped? In ttopping it, we may endanger the whole system ; and we can only extend it now at the hazard of the most violent sectional animositie. This slavery question, in fact, has entered into the very vitals of our political system, and the duration of this agitation, therefore, can only be conjcetured from the probable life of a young. | sturdy and vigorous nation—say a thousand | years. It may be cut short; it may last even | longer: but there is one thing of which we may rest assured—that henceforward, between the North and the Sonth this slavery agitation will continue—there is no finality to it in the Kaneas-Nebraska bill The South, in listening to the eyren voice of a new slave State in Kanene, have rained the at all events, cause, There waa no earthly ooeasion ¢ | thaw ing the war ioto Africa, B sere of all, he ungreiefi) end remoreeiose treatment | of Mevers. Pierce and Douglas at Cincinnati, has only served to recall to the Nortbern mind the treachery, through a quarter of a century, of Southern politicians to their Northern alfies and supporters, including statesmen, politicians and newspaper presses, When men or communities thus betray or forget their friends, they deserve to be left to the mercy of their enemies, It is true thet our party politics have assumed « sectional shape; bat in all this sectional commo- tion recognizing, as we do, a popular revolution at work, destined to sweep off all the old par- ties, old fogies and old party rubbish of the ¢oun- try, and destined to institute a new order of things, we say let the revolution go on—slavery or no slavery-—as the people may decide. There is something positively swbtime, after all, in this doctrine of popular sovereignty. Let the revolu- ion go on. Tue P1.More Know Noritnes x ConGress.— ‘The Fillmore Know Nothings of the House have ‘aken the Southern side of the Kansas question, from which it is evident that Mr. Fillmore is to he run in the South upon Southern principles as strong as those of the Cincinnati demecracy. Very well, The result will probably be the loss o the democracy of three or feur States in the South, and a gain to Fremont in the North by the loss to Mr. Buchanan of those Know Nothing hard shell democratic votes which Mr. Fillmore will take away. If it were not so late in the season we should think it would be a good idea for Mr. Fillmore to make a pilgrimage to the South. His friends there would receive him as cordially as he was received by the Pope and the Cardinals of Rome—perhaps more so. Who knows? BY MAGNETIC AND PRINTING TELEGRAPHS, ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA.

Wasmmeron, July 1, 1856. The rigger worshippers’ object in forcing in the Kansas Comp jittee report in the midst of the adjustment of Grove’s Dill, was to obtain time to-night to force some of the shaky to change their vote of yesterday, and thus try and pass the bill to-morrow. Mr. Fuller, of Pennsyl- ‘ania, arrived, and would have made good the defection of Barclay. The nigger worshippers also had an acces- sion of strength in Mr. Chaflee, of Massachusetts, who was present. On the other hand, Mr. Davis, of Mary- Jand, and Mr. Winslow, of North Carolina, were on hand to vote with the majority; so that a division to-day would have been attended with the same result as yesterday. ‘The free soilers have telegraphed to all their absent friends to hurry on here. Mr. Douglas’s bill will undoubtedly pass the Senate to- morrow, and it will also pass the House. Even should the nigger worshippers in the House succeed {in passing their bill there, all the moral effect would be destroyed by the closeness of the vote. Their game is nearly played out. Although no bill for a general amendment of the tariff will be pressed this session, it is the intention of the Com- mittee on Ways and Means to present a bill increasing the free list, and it is probable it may pass.

STATE CANALS TO BE SOLD—THE STATE TREASURER APPLICATION TO VETO THE ALBANY BRIDGE— MAYORALTY DIFFICULTY—PREPARATIONS FOR THE FOUKTH JULY, ETO. Aunany, July 1, 1856, The Commissioners of the Land Office adopted a reso- lution to-day, to dispose of all the State lands in the coun- ties of Herkimer, Essex, Hamilton and Warren. Through these counties the proposed Sackett's Harbor and Sara- toga Railroad is to run, The minimum price is fixed at twenty-five cents per acre, though agents of this road have offered thirty cons, They will probably take the whole, as they intend to mortgage it for the purpose of raising funds to prosecute the work. There are several thourand acres, all in rugged native wilderness, Stephen Clarke, the State Treasurer, transmitted a communication to his Excellency Governor Clark, yester- day, ip answer to the specifications and charges preferred by Lieutenant Governor Raymond and Surveyor General Seymour, praying the Governor to suspend him, under a certain provision of the constitution, The Treasurer's answer is firm and dignified, denying that he bas com- mitted any offence in his official capacity justifying the i terference of the executive pewer. Indeed, he boldly states to his accusers, and those who wish to obtain con- trol of the Canal Board by his suspension, that he fears no investigation of his official conduct; that the people have placed in his hands the keys of the treasury; that he has deposited sureties for the correct and proper ad ministration of his duties as State Treasurer, and that he bus tar bas, and intends so to continue, the transaction of the bnsiness of the office so as to conform to the strict etter of the constitution and the laws.

Wallack’s Theatre—Summer Season. This popular house was opened for the summer season last evening, under the direction of Mr. Stuart, and there was a full house. Mr, Stuart has gathered together a very fair"company ; led by Mr. Bourcicaultjand Miss Agnes Ro- bertson, The bill included a drama called ‘The Phantom,’” which seems to have benn founded on the well knowm piece, ‘The Vampire.’’ The present version, by Mr. Bourcicault, seems to be more elaborately finished. The story is one of those sort of things that one might dream. of after eating too much supper, and has enough of the» horrible to satisfy the most morbid appetite. The play was well gotten up and carefully acted. Mr. Bourcicault’s- “*Dusinges,’’ to use a technical term, was quite effective, and his Phantom was ghostly in the extreme. Mise» Robertson and the others were quite good, and: one of the besg things of the night was the per- formance of an old doctor by Mr. Burnett, a stranger, we think, to the Metropolitan boards. The farce was- ‘The Young Actress,’’ in which Miss Robertson plays 80 many parte and plays them so nicely. She is one of the cleverest of actresses and prettiest of women, and young: New York’s prime favorite, She ought never to act ous of New York. The performances of last night were capi- tal and promise well for the season. The orchestra de- serves mention: it is composed of some of the yery best instrumentalists in the city, led by Mr. Stoopel. The entr-acle music was not only well selected, but very picely played, and formed a prominent feature in the night’s entertainment. Mayor Wood Declines the Nomination fox-. Governor, Munupian, Cayeea Covyry, New York, June 27, 1856. My Dear Sim:—Having frequently heard your name mentioned in connection with the Gubernatorial nomina- tion the ensuing fall, I trust you will pardon me for in- quiring if the use of your name for that office by the now united democracy of this State will receive your wal, and whether you are a candidate for that ‘otice? ‘That the admirable nomination of the statesman of the old Key- stone State for the Presidency will, in November, ratified by the electors of the Empire State, a vote worthy of her palmiest days. I cannot doubt. the de- mocracy of the Union are true to themselyes and the country, (as they will not fail to be), the Cincinnati nom- inces will be triumphantly elec:ed, and New York re- deemed from the unnatural position she bas been made to occupy, not from the strength of her opponents but b; reason of disunion and discord, now so happily healed.

If the democratic party of this State fully appreciate the critical povition of the country, in its foreign as well as in its domestic relations, and realize the important fact that upon its entire consolidation and good faith in maintain- ing an honorable and friendly union, the Presidential election may depend, it will not permit aspirants for its bigher State positions to interfere with or jeopard the suc- cess of the electoral ticket. ‘This is nota time for men te become candicates for State offices; these should be chosen by the united demo- peas in conventions assembled from the most available: ‘and leet objectionable of the many able and distinguished. men who ure to be found in either section of tie party, and in every part of the State, A candidate for Gover” ner who obtains the nomination by a bargain between the leaders of the two late contending interes! as the result of a coalition based upon other Patriotic objects) or by a struggle in the conventions, im which the friends of other aspirants are worsted, wilk not, iu my judgment, aid the success of the electoral ticket, or be apt to receive that cordial support without which it will be impossible to succeed.
