The Democratic Trouble Explained. OUR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE. ‘Wasuixcton, July 8, 1856, Startling Disxlosures—Kansas Abandoned by Toombs and Douglas—A New Compromise Measure Instead. The vote to-day, by which the House passed the ‘ To- peka Dill’? for the admission of Kansas as a free State, is the first step towards disaffection among the Southern democratic leaders. Under the excitement whieh must prevail under this change of policy, the anti-Nebraska elements surrounding Mr. Buchanan will be made known. Tt is stated to me, on the very best authority, that Lieut. Goy. Roberts, of the revolutionary party in Kansas, is at the bottom of the new bill, which originated really with Senator Toombs. This ‘compromise of a finality,” it is aaserted, is absolutely necessary to carry Pennsylvania. On asking my informant if the information was reliable, he replied, ‘It is simply a fact.’ This is so important a matter, and comes to me so well authenticated, that I can hardly doubt its correctness, The plan is to give the anti-Nebraska men a “chance to get a free State,’’ aud the yote of Pennsylvania is secured for the democratic nominee: if not, it is lost to the democracy, and will go over to Fremont. Reberts says he has no desire to separate himself {rom the democracy; that his policy was peace in Kansas; that fifty thousand democrats in Pennsylvania wili sustain the free State constitution, and that the report of the Investi- gating Committee will sustain them. This explains Barclay’s vote. He is a strong Buchanan man, and his change of front is very significam. If this rumor turas out to be true—which, as I before stated, comes to me from a reliable source—there will certainly be a bolt ‘among the independent Southern men from Buchanan Ifso, the new combination of parties will lead to results which no man can anticipate. Mr. Slidell is very much alarmed at all this, as he is morally responsible for Mr. Buchanan’s nomination. In this conpection I quote a passage from the National Era, which unmasks certainly a heavy fire on the abolition side, and indicates that a ‘compromise of Kansas”’ is near at hand: Mr. Douglas, from the Committee on Territories in the Sevate, bas reported on the various propositions referred to it, recommending the proposition or bill of Mr. , with certain modifications. The Commissioners @re to sit every day after the apportionment, to hear complaints in regard to the lists of voters, and make cor- rections accordingly. It provides that no law shall be of force or enforced ia the Territory, infringing the liberty of speechor of the press, or the right of ‘ing armas. Punishment isto be ioflieted for illegal hang tod raud or violence at the bailot box, and military lato be Uned to prevont such mischiefs. White male mhabitants, as enumerated, over 21, resident three mouths before voting, are to be entitled to yote; po oath to support the regirete eaet,or apy other act, to be required as a Now we wish the country to take notice that this bill as- sumes the power of Congress to control the Territories and the governments therein established; that from the beginning t0 the end of the organization of a State govern- ment in Kansas, st sete aside entirely the Territorial gov- all t# branches; that it annuals all the acts of 4 Legislature of Kansas, infringing freedom of ‘h and the press—aets under which Judge Lecomte used nd in virtue of © many outrageous nem, ting ofhiees were indicted by a Grand Jury, and sucked by a Sheril’s posse, that it aunals al the test ouths prescribed by the same ‘spurious Legislature, and that in providing so. stringent safeguards against fraud and violence at the bullot box, to be enforced by the mili- tary power of the federal governient, it virtually admits the reality of the outrages suffered by the people of Kan- us. How much of these corcessions we are to attribute to growing light among the administration men, how much to a siowly-awaking sense of justice, how mach to an ap- bengion of the horrors of civit war, how much to a dis- position to allay the Kansas contro zersy and smooth the way ‘or Mr, Buchanan and bis friends in the free States, how much tw a fear Uhat the means of supporting 80 large bodies of slavery men in the Territory are nearly ex- hausted, it is not for us to say. This leader wax written, I believe, in the House of Rep- resentativer, and is the first move-against the spirit of adjustment, which soon will have a special joint commit- tee ond report a pew compromise bill, and become again the law of the land, Thus ends the Gnality, Thus ends the Nebrarka issue as a test of democratic faith. Thas the intluence of John Stidell in Louisiana. It was the first step of Southern ambition towards the succession. Douglas and bis bill are doomed, for if it stood, or he stood as ite author, the West, and uot the South, would claim the succes ion in 1860. os i Superior Court—General Term, THE FORREST DIVORGR CASR—MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL DENIED+-A REBERBNOE ORDERED AS TO TI ALIMONY.

NEWSPAPER ACCOUNTS. [From the New Orieans Picayune, June 23. The Mexican Extraordinary, in its issue of the Mth ‘tmat., bas the following paragraph in reference to a report which has been extensively published Mm this coun- try, aud in which we certainly perceived nothing impro- 7 when we ‘ ied iti ‘ aa ‘i he papers in this city are copying a silly report, which originated in the New York yoy Commerce, Ghat a Lew treaty has been made with the Uaited States for the purchase of w portion of the State of Sonora.

The quantity is represented to be very large where this came from, and we believe it ia” the intention of the owners of this newly discovered mine’ of wealth to commence wor! it at once. ‘The same paper states that Lieut. A. J. Gwin haa been missing from his hotel in Vera Cruz since the 13th ult., and that his friends had abandoned the search for him. oe + anna was that he had met with some unuatural ath, The project of the Lianos de Apam Railroad we perceive 1s thely to be carried to a successful issue, The Extra- finery says:— We are happy to notice that this work. is now being prorecuted vigorously, The surveys have been nearly completed to some beyond Guadalupe. An or- der, a3 we mentioned some time siace, was forwarded for 600 tons of rail, which may be expected here in two months from this time. This will complete the track for @ distanze of nine miles from this city. ‘The same paper, in its issue of the 18th instant, thus notices the inundation of the capital, which we have already brietly noticed :-— On Friday eyeuing the rain commenced falling heavily. It commenced about 6 o'clock, and, in two hours after- wards, many of the principal streets and roads in this valley were entirely inundated. In the Calle de San Francisco the water was so deep that it was impossible for pedestrians to pass. In front of the Hotel de Iturbide, and iwany other places, the water was from one foot to two feet deep. Mexico was in a short space of time made a Venice, excepting the gondolas. On Saturday night the same thing again occurred, but the water was uot so deep. Some fears are entertained that our beautiful city is tobe flooded this summer. Lake Tezouco is now less than two feet below the level of the city, and, should the waters of Lake Zumpango burst through the embank- ments, the visitation of the waters is certain. Laborers are now employed in endeavors to prevent a crevasse in that quarter. . Zumpango has a considerable elevation above both Lake San Cristobal and Tezcuco, so that if the waters of that lake cannot be stayed, the lion’s head, at the corner of Caliejon de Espiritu Santo and second calle San Fran- ciseo, may again be high water mark, as it was in the year 1629, Jt will be recollected that at that time the water flooded to the depth of nine feet above the principal streets, and the city remained flooded for several years. An earthquake delivered the city at that time by opening a subterranean passage for the waters. The Forbes & Bari on case, as far as the public journals are concerbed, seems shelved for the present. r ties irmamediately interested, however, seem diermined 1 wv endeayor to obtain satisfaction for the injuries which have beeu inflicted on them. They have addressed a memorial to Mr. Secretary Marcy, which we subjoin, without, however, identifying ourselves with its toue or assertions — Tavic, Mexico, May 30, 1356, To the Hon. Witiam L. Marcy, Secretary of State of the Cnited States of America, Washington :— Six—We, the undersigned, citizens of the United States, residing in'Tepic, have the houor of stating to your Ex: cofeasy Bet, ‘op the Sth of April last, a comm inication containing an account of certain grievances requiring re dress was sent tothe Hon. James Gadsden, Mini-ter from the United States to Mexico; to which, although received by his iw due time, he has not d ed te reply; and we are now juformed he has this country, for the ¢ of returning to the United States. We therofore Begin nctone you herewith a copy of said letter. e also take the liberty to state that, notwith=tanding the positive assertions and promives of our Minister that the Legation was ever ready to extend the shield of protec. on over the citizens of the United States when meuaced with personal wrong, or their rights and privileges were infringed, we Daye found him decidedly indiflerevt in every care in which the interest of American citizens or their property are concerned. Promising prompt action, he has subsequent'y treated us and onr respoctiul repre semations with marked contempt. Of this, the officials of the Mexican government are fully aware, and haye man- tioned on several occasions—striving to make us feel that we were in the country without any protection whatever. We are aware thet Gen, Gadsden enjcys the reputation of dmving rendered eminent services to the United States rt ce in this country; but in this respect we firtaly believe Lis talents have been overrated, and we trust the government at Washington will also now see that his age snd many infirmities have so impaired his facuities ax to render him entirely unfit for the high and importaut post he has been honored with. That his facul- ties have failed is the most charitable couclusion we can arrive at, when we see him go grossly neglecting his ofl cial Cuties, so far as indiuidual {nterests are concerned, and triving to justify all the arbitrary. this govern: ment may think proper to inthet upon his coustituents. We beg also ey to state that we consider the conduct of Gen, Gadsden highly reprehensible in atlewing the acting American Consul, Wm. Forbes, Heq., to be _ banished from his post in this city, by the ‘decree of the Governor of Jalisco, (without the sanction of the supreme government of Mexico), on the bare accusation of personal enemies, unsustained by any proof whatever that he (the Consul) had-assisted a recent revolution against the pre- sem government of Mexico. These charges we know to be alse; and the Consul is prepared to we his innocence the moment a hearing shall be granted him. Mr. Forbes, of the highly respectable mercantile house of Barron, Forbes & ©o., has for several years acted as United States Consul for the port of San Blas, residing here, and has given entire satisfaction to all American citizens corning to this coast. All his acts have been ap- proved of by the goverament at Washington, and his ap- pointment duly recognized by this government and the Snited States Legation at Mexico, General Gadsden, for: getting all this, has thought proper to refuse a reply to the Consul’s representations, or to afford him an opportu. nity of being heard in his own defence, for the simple reason that Mr, Forbes is not a citizen of the United Mates. Av the same time, (ieneral (Gadsden knows that the court of ge Ay my d by the supreme govern- ment of Mex:eo, after sitting four months, failed to obtain any information which could tm apy manner implicate elsher the Consul or Mr. Collier. Our Mimater thus con demne them, and then abandons his post, leaving them to their fate. We trust such conduet will not pass unno- ticed by the government at Washington. We olserve that the Mresident of the United States, in bis late message, recommends forbearance being exereleed towards this governmert till the authori- tics are more firmly established, and order reigns thronghout the land. But we trust we are not in the tcantime to be left without any protection, and that ‘ument will see the necessity there is, in eritical state of Mexican affairs, that we shonld bave a Minister who is able and willing to dis- charge the “uties of his office faithfully and fearlessly, and ‘who will net allow us to be condemned without « hear- ing, OF compel us to seck protection apart from where we bave a right to look for it. We have ever been taught that our flag a sufficient proteodoa to American citizens in any part of the world, and we sincerely hope that im the present caso 4: ‘ ference Trusting your Excellency will duly consider the pos! tior ‘mn which we are placed, being Without Minister or Consul, which compels us to make knowa our grievances dirows to yourseit.
