Fremont, so far from having done anything for the conquest of G fornia, always came up too late. and was hardly within the emell of gunpowder during the whole war. In thus giving circulation and credence to this letter, the President's organ undertakes to prove Secretary Marey anything but a man of truth. In his annual report of 1446 retary of War, Mr. Marcy, in a most enthu« panegyric, makes Col. Fremont the conqueror of California; and we dare say that thie official state- ment was carefully made up from the most reli- able official sources of information, Marcy should call the President to account for thus permitting his organ to give credit and currency to a letter which attempts to prove the facts of the report of the Secretary of War of 1946 @ string of false hoods. Or will the Washington [neon be good enough to publish Marcy's report of 1946, and deny it? Either Marcy or Schenck is wrong.

The Senate Kansas bill, now before the House and intended to make Kansas a slave State. The power to appoint the Commissioners whe are to overlook the execution of the ingenious provi- sions ef the act is vested in the President, and it is wery easy to comprehend what will be his course of procedure. These gentlemen, appointed to see that every- thing is done “decently and in order,” will be carefully selected, and will know what is expect- ed of them; and if the ballot boxes (California fashion) cannot be stuffed, good care will be taken to have them well guarded. Though the bill has been amended so as to extend the time of domiciliation to October—and if it lingers in its passage it may be extended a little longer—i is well understood that Eastern emigration is checked, if not broken up, and that many free soil settlers who have left the Territory will re turn no more. Colonel Sumner has ridden down the short free State Parliament of Topeka by orders from the President, and the members are trying to find out whether they have or have not a Cromwell among them. It is perfectly transparent that the whole policy of the administration and of the democratic par- ty, or the leaders of the party, is to make Kan- sasa slave State. It is in the Cincinnati plat- form, and it is in this bill. Yet the very persons who intend this—who are working for it, and have so far successfully used their tactics in pushing it along—are taking great pains to have it understood in the North that it is not their intention to produce any such results They scout the idea of such complicity. They are for fair play and honest voting ; nay, they would not be surprised if Kansas should become a free State! But we should be, and so would most people be who are sound on the goose question.” We understand the drift of all these pretences, and know exactly what they mean. They remind us of the prac- tees of the Wall street operators, who imagine thas they can deceive the public when they come oa? with a statement to conceal a fact. No one taken in by it. They only deceive themselves, appreciating the advantage of truth, they m of deception ; and so the pub- le learn to appreciate them at their real value. Concealments and evasions on this Kansas question are no longer available. The whole secret is out. The Kansas-Nebraska bill was at first appropriated by the Presi- dent, as a measure for setting himself right in the North ; but being met with an outcry from the South which he could not resist, his Excellen- cy discharged Governor Reeder, abandoned his free soil inclinations, and proceeded cordially to co-operate with the “ border ruffians ” in order to set himself right again in the South. “In for a penny, in fora pound.” The subsequent history of Kansas is a history of ruffianism—the amiable Mr. Pierce, safe from danger in the White House, acting throughout as the leader and main support of the border ruffians. Col. Sumner, with his Unted States dragoons, under the orders of Mr. Pierce, has fulfilled the agreeable office of disarming the free State settlers, while the border ruffians have acted as the authorized executive officers of the Presi- dent, in the enforcement of “law and order” by fire, sword, robberies, mock arrests, mock trials, illegal imprisonments and savage murders, We trust that the House of Representatives will pass the resolution, which, we understand, is to be of- ferred, calling upoa the President for information concerning these things; for really, we cannot believe that they are necessarily involved in a faithful execution of the Kansas-Nebraska bill. Enough has been developed in the report of the Kansas Investigating Committee to show that the border raffiansare but the agents of the administra- tion in its present fixed policy and determination to make Kansas a slave State. The rejection of Mr. Pierce at Cincinnati, and the nomination of a man in his place who could prove an alibi upon the Kansas-Nebraska bill, have left our amiable President free, at least for revenge; and we are disposed to sus] that his late proceedings in Kansas have re poen pursued for the purpose of defeating Mr. Buchanan, At all events, un- der the whip and spur of the Southern leaders of the demoeratic party of this day, it is the fixed licy of the democratic members of both houses of Congress to make Kansas a slave State, and to use Mr. Pierce to do it, in order to spare the nerves of Mr. Buchanan. Why not confess the object of this new bill? In the Senate, General Cass has evaded it, Mr. Douglas has denied it, Mr. Bigler has equivo- 2, and Mr. Pagh, of Ohio, has been indignant at the charge of a scheme for making Kansas a slave ve, when the thing is as visible as a bird in a cage. * we want, therefore, of the democratic members of the House, in the discus sion of this Senate bill, is an honest confessios and a bold and mar ace: the propriety and the good policy of the measure itself. There is no other way of meeting the difficulties which embarrass the progress of the ry. and which are continually endangering There is only one platform we cau stand upon—the Constitution—which was handed down to us by wise, sagacious and patriotic men. Thus far, under its provisions, the balance of power in the States has been pretty well pre- served, and the Union with it. It should be continued. Admit Kansas, then, as a dlave State, and hereafter let the new free States and slave States come in in pairs—a fair offset to each other. This will dry up the bitter waters which are now bursting forth in the W. and the streams of passion and excitement wuich the 7 Iti cat fm vain to regard this Kansas bill any other light than as a measure ving that balance of power in the government, to which the South is entitled. The framers of the constita- tion did not undertake to say that Africas slavery ie inconsistent with a republican form of government. They adapted their course of action to the facte and circumstances with which they had to deal. They recognized Southern slavery, compromised with it, protected it; and yet - have bequeathed us the most glorious fabric of free government that has ever cxisted it is, and as the Union of the States as it binds together, this government and this Union depend upon our compromises with Southern slavery.

But a man who takes care of himself, eats moderately, drinks temperately, lives in a clean locality, and avoids effluvia, may safely inhabit a thoroughly fevered district in Louisiana or Alabama, with- out fearing anything. ‘The world is recovering from the old barbarous notions about contagion and infection.

His squatter sovereignty he confesses was a squatter humbug. He falls back upon the sovereignty of Congress, which, we think, is competent to secure the admission of Kansas as aslave State. This is the object of the Senate bill, and the bill is well adapted to effect its ob- ject; and all the twistings, shufflings, equivoca- tions and dodgings of its Northern democratic supporters will not change the fact. Let the fact, then, be confessed, and let the bill be passed, with the distinct understanding on all sides that its purpose is the admission of Kansas as a slave State, and Mr. Pierce may be trusted with the execution of the act. What if it does defeat Mr. Buchanan? What is he, and what is the de- mocratic party to us, compared with the peace offering to the South, openly and frankly made, in the passage of « bill which will secure the ad- mission of Kansas as a slave State ?

The Union is a source of a thousand profits to the North drawn from the South. We can afford, therefore, to give up Kansas openly and frankly to the South for the sake of the Union.

Not one of them but is better governed, better kept, better managed, and at a less cost, than the metropolis of republican America. What is the reason? Simply that the genius of our republican institutions has been violated and destroyed by the rogues and bullies who have of late years controlled our elections. The system of primary meetings and party nominz- tions has excluded from office the men who could have procured us “an efficient and economical government, and placed power in the hands of the very men who were least capable of govern- ing the city, and least likely to object to spend- ing our money. The same system has kept the public at large from the polls, It has also ope- rated to prevent public officials from being honest if they wanted to be so; for, at the present day, no man can be elected to be an Alderman or city ¢fiicer without incurring obligations to his politi- friends which he is afterwards bound to dis- rge at the cost of the city, It is urged by some thoughtless persons that these inconveniences are inseparable from repub- licaniem, These persons forget that a belief in primary meetings is no part of the republican creed. All that they can do can be done by other agencies; they only procure publicity to the fact that so and so is a candidate, and his friends think well of him; and why should this not be done through the newspapers?

And thie revolt at this crisis, in the teeth of the late stultifying let- ter from Kinderhook, is particularly significant. It shows, first, that an ambitious man, for par- poses of personal revenge, may, upon false pre- tences, lead a large party astray, bat that it is not always an easy task to get them back into the old camp again; secondly, if we are not mis taken, this movement for this independent de mocratic mass meeting at Syracuse on the 24th will be very apt to damage the estimates of the hards and softs of a hopeful reunion there a few days later. The Cincinnati Convention, in admitting hards and softe, with all their sins of Know Nothing. ism and free soil, into full communion upon the Southern Pierce, Douglas and Buchanan nigger driving and filibustering platform, consoled themselves with the idea that Old Tammany would be again right side up, and thet the party reunion of 1856 would be as decisive as that of 1652.

But he preferred an active career, and entered a mercantile establishment to aequire the details of business.

These inquiries are very interesting, and it will be remarked that they are limited to the Germans, French, Dutch, Norwegians and Swedes, And why these inquiries, especially in their behalf? They are simply for the purpose of affording a basis for the circulation of documents emong these different people, in their different languayes, and adapted to their peculiar politi- cal and religious ideas, This Washington Demo- cratic Committee, in fact, isa great central de- mocratic tailor’s shop, for the manufacture of po- litical garments to suit all customers, of all na- tions, all religions—Catholic or Know Nothing, slavery and anti-slavery, long and short, fat and slender, big and little. All that the committee ask is the measure of the man, and they can fit him with any cut, color or fabric that may suit his fancy. But let it be borne in mind, though, while everybody is invited in this way to vote for Mr. Buchanan, none but the old Buchanan clique secorded in the ledger of Col. Forney, will be en- titled to the spoils. Remember that. After the election begins the weeding out. Remember that. Tue Virewia Wate Coxvestion—Lupor- tant Movement.—We publish this morning, from our own accomplished reporter, a full account of the proceedings of the late Old Line Whig State Convention at Staunton, Virginia, As far as the State of Virginia is concerned, this movement will amount to nothing, for as a matter of course, Governor Wise’s estimates of the great increase in the price of niggers, from the election of Mr. Buchanan, in connection with the demo- ralization and disintegration of the late great Know Nothing party, will give Virginia, as usual, to the democracy. In another view, however, this old whig thovement is important, The old line whiges of the South never did coalesce with “Sam,” except upon compulsion, and now, being, like all other seusible people, utterly disgusted with his tomfooleries and Popish scarecrows, they feel bold enough to cut him in the face of the world. The Virginia whigs support Mr. Fill- more as a whig; and they propose an old line Whig National Convention at Baltimore, on the third Wednesday in September, to see if there is not sufficient life and strength yet existing among the remains of the old whig party to do some- thing in this Presidential election. Should they do their work at Baltimore pro- perly, and induce Mr. Fillmore to drop his dark lantern, they may secure for him, as the old whig candidate the States of Maryland, North Ca- rolina, Tennessee, and, perhaps, Louisiana. We are not sure about Kentucky, because a full Fre- mont Electoral ticket having been set up in that State, there is no telling what may be the result there. It would not be very wonderful if Fremont were to carry Kentucky, for some of his most faithful mountain rangers were Ken- tuckians; and his anti-slavery principles are pre- cisely those of Henry Clay, as declared by the immortal Sage of Ashland in the discussion of the compromise measures of 1850. The result in Kentucky, notwithstanding all this, may be con- trolled by the Old Line Whig National Conven- tion of September, if they cut their cards properly. Let the old whige wake up, and prepare for ear- nest work at Baltimore. Perhaps they may save the country, or put Mr. Fillmore on his legs in the South. Who knows? Miasent Letters.

Adjournment of Congress—Bills yet to le acted upon— Contested Election in Minois—Description of one of tho Contestants—Colonel Wright not Dead—Seemd Trial oj* Mr. Herbert, dc., dc. ‘The excessively hot weather which we have experienced for some days part has so distressed the nation’s represen- tatives that an early adjournment of Congress is yery probable. All parties are for an adjournment, but va- rious motives prompt the different members to suggest different days. The Appropriation bills are yet to bey acted on by both houses of Congress; the Naval bill, which has engaged the attention of the Senate tor the bet~ ter portion of six months, bag yet to be called up in the: lower house; the Kansas bill is yet undisposed of, and the Great Atlantic and Pacitic Railroad bill, which will be: reported on Monday next, is yet to go through the ordinary forms to become a law. These bills, and a hundred of others of a less general importance, and a calendar of 134 private claims untouched, form an outline of the business it is proposed to dispose of in two or three werks, Itistrue that a great deal of business is done im the last few days of the session; but the manner in which it is done is hardly understood by the hones masses of the people. The election case of Archer and Allen, from Iilinois, was disposed of to-day—-Mr. Archer, himself, making “talk” in his own defence; and right welS did be talk too. Mr. Archer is a plain specimen of a Western pioneer, standing six feet two in his stockings, and possessing a powerfully robust and muscu- Jar frame. His appearance would indicate his age to be: about sixty, while the careless manner in which his coarse gray hair stands out over the prominent features of an honest face, marks him as one of the sovereigus of the frontier, more accustomed to talking at corn husking9 ‘and house raisings than in legislative assemblies. The War Department places no confidence in the ru- mored death ¢f Col. Wright of the Shangbae (9th) regi- ment of infautry, vow on dutv in Oregon. Col. Wrighi’s coramand is stationed high up the Columbia river; aad altbough no despatches were received by the iast steam- re within the knowledge of the governmeny it very improbable that Col. Wright and hig command have had any serious engagements with the- nd iaDs. ‘The trial of Mr. Herbert will be brought to a close to~ morrow evening—just ove week since it was submitted jast, and likely with the same resuit. The avalancha: of California pepers which were circulated over our city filled with attacks on Mr. Herbert, it is apprebended may ‘imiluence the result of the present trial. Wasixoros, July 18, 1856. Troutle in the Democratic Ranks—Mr. Burwell, of Vir- ginia—Curious Circular of the Central Committer. * Civil war has already commenced between tho various clubs, associations, societies, circies and indi- viduals compoeing and constituting the sentinels on tho watchtowers of the Treasury, and organized under various designations in the federal metropolis. Tao Jackson Democratic Association, under Pres dent Rad- cliffe, ruled the ascendant, until the orgauization of the Buchanan and Breckinridge Ciub of the District of Colum~ bia, under the leadership of Dr. Boyle, presented quite formi table competitor for the honor of official recognition: by the National Democratic Committee resident (at tho- seat of governmont Ip addition to these greater luminaries, several minor | ghts bave eprung up, each glorying in the name ox some one of the States, and all harmoniously revolving round the centre of power—the Resident Natioval Demo- rato Committee. Jealousies have engendered hatred, and a nod from ope of the Central Committee aforesaid is sufficient to pus the whole camp in motion. At the Congres»\vual caucus, , eld op Wednesday evening, the Buchanan aud Breckin- ridge Club mapagea te yet the upper hand of the Jackson Democratic Association, in being recognized by that augasé ‘ody as colaborers in the cause of their country, and o-day the iatter are wotully crest fallen. Sir. Kadoits ould have headed this movement but he |» occupied ‘ight and day with the case ot Hon. P. f. Herbert, now on trial for shooting Keating at Willard’s Hotel. But the worst of the business is that the resident Na- tional Committee are not themselves entirely free from. the “evils that humanity is heir to.” In the first place, they bave secretly employed Mr. Burweil, former editor of the ;Warhingtou Kepublic, Baltimore American, ancy late editor of the Washington Organ—a bolting Know Nothing, and a man who bas written about as much against Catholics as Parson Beecher bao spoken on the tame subject—as writer of addresses and procurator general of the National Demoocra- tic Committee with the upterrified democracy of Virginia.
