Breckinridge—Col. ‘The result of the contest yesterday over the Illinois Section case, disappointed, most sorely, the republican party, who had been working for Allen's rejection from tthe first day of the session. It was regarded as all im- ‘Pertant that Allen should go out, and that Mr. Archer ‘sbould be admitted to his seat in order to secure the vote @f Biinois for Fremont, in the event the election was ‘@rown into the House. While the republicans took it for (@ranted that if Allen was rejected, Archer would be ad- ‘mitted, the democrats were silently at work for the very Pesult which was had. Allen was bound to go by the Beard. His opponents had the power, and with them might made right. The policy then adopted was to check- ‘Mate the republican movement by rejecting both appli- -@ants, and sending them back to the people.

A private word was then sent toa good many, whowere wavering, that they should not be dieturbed im their offices if they would come down wb the rhino, send off documents, write letters, and ‘bring ‘Buck and Breck’’ to the White Honse. Here is a fine ebance for outsiders. Al! the berths below Cabinet offices ‘et are worth anything already mortgaged! Go in, ye fanbful! Mr. Buchanan must have marvellous re- eources to satisfy the hungry—that is, always provid- ed he gets the Presidency. Let us see: of foreign mis- sions, chargeships, consulates and secretaries of lega- ‘tien, there are about a hundred, more or less; and of there pet more than twenty to twenty five are worth the Baving: but like Ik Marvel's trip to Venice, are beggarly af- fairs.

Therein lies ‘ome spring that will help to overthrow the demo- cratic rule. Ever since Jackson held the Presi- é@ential office cight years—two terms—no man of the party has been permitted to stay im but one term. in four years the country got enough of de- mocracy in the person of Martin Van Buren, and in 1540 he was ousted by Harrison.

In the same way the Rocky Mountain co't 1S destined —— old worn-out Buck who is now quietly grazing in a Peonsyivania pasture. ‘The sums of money paid by the members of the clubs here in the aggregate, must be very large.

From the same authority, it apprars tbat the imports into the United States from the Sandwich Islands, for the same ) ear, amounted to $442,809.

Of the total exports of domestic juve, ag given above, viz: $929,671, there was borne in United States bottoms $928.48, whilst there was only $1,215 carried under all foreign flags.

It is probable, however, that the watchful though in this instance groundiess fears of the sugar in tereste of Louisiana may have something w do with the delay of the Senate. Ousome other occasion it may be well to analyze and compare the facts bearing upon this view of the question of recyprocity and strike a regular halance between the advantages and disadvantages which would result from the treaty.

The movement, it seems, is instigated by Prussia, aided to some extent b; varia, and received ‘ts impetus from a motion lately unsuccessfully made in ‘the Prussian Legislative Assembly, to prohibit altogether the introduction of tobacco as an artisle of free com. ee, and introduce throughout the Zoliverein the mo- nopoly systom of Austria, France and other governments of Burope.

Trvx0, Honduras, July 6, 1856. Belations towards ihe United State. —Hefusal te Receive our Consul—Origin of the International Dificulty—Rule Of Guardiola—The Gold Mines and Juir Kaplorers. 1 put these lines under cover, a3 I conceive them to be Of consequence at hor —in the United States—as well as Of importance in this portion of Central America. J.C. Tucker, Esq., who was appointed United States Consul to reside either at Comayagua or Truxillo, as might be most essential for the commercial interests of the United States im intercourse with Honduras, is now here waiting the ‘means of transit on his return, and may possibly go by this brig to take steam from Havana. Our President (Guardiola) refused to give Mr. Tucker his exequator un- lees be would prove the signature and seal upon his com- mission, of which he affected to be ignorant; and he also objected, ‘that the United States should have notified the government of Honduras by @ special courier of the in- tention to accredit a agent to that State.” Mr. Tucker declined submitting to the proposed indignity from the Nero chief, who orders bis guards to drag a dining table companion from his feast and shoot him, ‘when it suits his convenience or the caprice of his drunk- ep humor. This feat was of recent performance; the vic- tims, two friends, who presumed to differ from his Excel- lency upon some matters of public interest which affected his pockets. Mr. Tucker had (o reach his post through Nicaragua, which was used as argument for suspicion to his prejudice, and very nearly to the cost of his life, as the former President, Hstrada, (of Nicaragua,) caused his path to be waylaid by @ guard on the frontiers of Honduras, who were ordered to shoot him down. Ihave seen a sketch of the route of Mr. Tucker, and his notes, which will make a volame teeming with in- terest of a country very imperfectly understood in the United States, and for which nature has been more lavish in favor in all that man can desire or love, than for any other of like extent wu the face of the earth. The sketches are graphic truthful. ‘We have an edict just published here requiring the coast authorities not to permit any citizens of the United States the right to enter the State of Honduras, unless con forming to sundry conditions, which are intended to be prohibitory; they are to be possessed of capital (to be Judged of by the police agents)—to be able to pay all ‘claims against them that may occur—to have famities— to be without arms of any kind—and, finally, beyond the reach of suspicion. I believe the United States have a treaty with us, that is violated in letter and spirit by this decree. To explain, while Guardiola was seeking power and travelling towards Comoyagua from the coast, he stopped at a small rancho, very much fatigued and hun- gry; be called a female from the cabin, and asked her to give him something to eat; she replied that her husband was quite ill, and she could not leave him to cook for the stranger. He asked to see her husband, saying that he couli cure him. He went in, felt his pulse, asked him to turn over on his face, when he placed his pistol and discharged it so tat the contents passed longssodinaly through the body. He then turned to the wife, say’ “You have now Ume to cook for me.”” Such is the mst we have to rule over us, and I speak no evil in publishing that which is well established. When, after his drunken feast, he inquired for his companions, whom he missed when sobered, be was told that they had been shot by his orders, he replied, ‘Ab! itis well; they were poor devils, of no account.” Perhaps Providence minstering to our progress. That great metalic enchanter is being found in new places ,easy of access and near the coast. About fifteen leagues west of us, ip the direction of Omoa, there has been just discover- ed leads of gold, with quartz, aud loose in*such abun dance that several individuals, without other material than hammers and basins, have averagea two ounces x day. An effort is being made by tais goyernment to ‘eep the information from getting out of the country, for fear that it may induce armed emigration to the State. Our strong places have guards of about fifteen to twenty man-power, and at the seat of government our superior brute could not muster more than three hundred sol- diers who would bide an issue on his side. As to the new gold mines they are found in a mountain ridge, run- ning parallel to the Coast, and in view, azd tilling the beds and Jedges of several streams which tow tothe sea. It will soon be denominated the gold coast of Hoaduras. Two parties of emigrants, recently arrived here from New Oricans, bave been ordered to give up their arms to the gevernment officials, and are interdicted from pass- ing to the tuterior in any direction. One of the parties bas acq ed in the,demand ; the other, and the strogest, bas declined giving up the only means of protection they bave against Bational aseassins and robbers. It is thought that difficulty will grow out of it, but 1 believe that if they resist, and violence should be attempted on the part of Guardiola, it will be the means of over tarning his power, and reinstating our legitimate demo. cratic chief. Let all, then, come to Honduras, who wish to provide comfortable homes for families, We will take care of the edict and its author. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.

Our Maine Correspondence. Porttanp, July 12, 1856. The Waking Up of Politics—The two State Conrentioms— The Sage of Lancaster and the Mountaincer—The True Posture of Affairs. The people of Maine are exceedingly mercurial on the subject of politics. This is accounted for from several reasons. In the first place, it is almost the only excite- ment the people have, and as such, serves a good purpose to work off the morbid humors of the system. It is bet ter than pills, as good as the theatre, the opera, the race course, the milling match, or any other of those sanitary institutions that in great commercial marts tend to keep up the health and spirits of various classes. The peeple of Maine are an immensely reading people, too. Six months in the twelve, shut up by frosts and snows, the peo- ple of Maine take excessively to that great and popular mental pabulum—the newspapers—as many of your New York dealers in thearticie well know. The Heratp, with its fresh vigor, startles these reading people by some new revelation from time to time, that drives straight across the every day current of their thoughts, and gives them a new idea, at which they areas much astonished as was Adam when he discovered that the breath of life had been blown into bim, and that he was proprietor of the real estate of Eden. You may add to the other causes that make the people of Maine eo mer- curial upon politics, the fact that for a great many years there has has been a maxim about the Union going the fame way as the State of Maine goes. From this the good people of Maine have become fully aware of the re- sponsibilities that rest upon their shoulders. And, now we are in the heat and action of the politics of the day. Now are thousands of democratic and repub- lican souls in arms, and cager for the September and No- vember frays. ‘The unexpected (by most) nomination of Ruchanan, fell upon the democratic party in a manner that atforded a rare study for the raw polilician, Jt was like some cu rious case opened in the lecture room to incipient saw- bones. As President Pierce bad no friends in the State, outside the Post Otlices and the Custom Houses, and as all who were not for him hated him most cordially, any other nomination than that of the present incumbent would have been a sort of relief. Buchanan's name wés the only one put forward in Maine, in opposition to Pierce. Therefore, the opposition to the poor man about to vacate the chair, rallied around bis name, and the news of the nomination went off with a vim, Whatever outsiders may 8 From this, and since the nomination of Fremont, the parties have proceeded to the preliminary work of the conventions of the State. The first—the democratic—was held at Bangor, on the let inst. I was present at that in- gathering. It was astonishing to observe the number of original hanan men, who were, many of them, before as Unsuspected of any early proclivity that way as infants. The convention was both delegate and popular, and repre sented an active, bo'd, end effective party. There were some 9,000 present, representing the real estate—the solid mass of the party. The ins and outs commingled Iraterpally—the out» full of hope, and the ins determined to lose nothing of their hold by any backwardness intl.+ cause. Among those who wi to leave a mark on the assemblage were George F. Shepley, United States Attor p> 4 General for the district of Maine, and of this city John Appleton, editor of the Argus, aud who wears mod estly the honor of being Buchanan's chief adviser in Maine; W. B.G, Moor, who qas at the head of the Maine delegation in Cincinnati, and ‘-an original Buck ;’ ex Sena tor Bradbury, and others. Ex Attorney Ciifford, of Mr. Polk’scabinet, was not present. The Bradbury men toned is not to be confounded with Bioo Bradbury, the Eastport Collector, who stuck to Pierce in the Convention, until he had but three votes? He was pot present. The incipal speeches were by Shepley, Moor, Appleton and bury. All of these expect to be near to the throne of the agriculturist of Wheatland, if he chances to get into the White Bouse after the next years’ crop shows itself above nd, and with much reason it was the old ‘wool head’’ (Wilmot proviso) par ty in Maine bas become extinct. Those who got the lina’s share of the offices were the loudest tou the Neb. as ka bill, whale most of those left to cool their heels outside of the warming influences of executive favor wentinto the ition. Therefore, the Nebraska Dill was no pil! vention, and Moses McDonald was cheered a: loud as the rest. On Tuesday (8th) the republicans followed suit with their State Convention, at lortiand, The republicans here are an active sort of a party, like an unbroken colt.

There were sorur 6,000 or 7,000 present. There was a vast dingof bras: brnds and capuons, but the demonstration could hardly satisfy the getters up. The despatches, you see, only claim the Convention as being the largest delegate con veution ever beld in Maine. There were nearly 1,200 ballots, but the basis of representation gave the repubi can this odds over the oppowent Convention. Senator Hasmlin's nomination gives great satisfaction t that part of the Mountaineers who have leit the party before, but l# not © satisfactory to the old nigger wor shippere and the late whigs. ‘The Senatorial question will soon be My Pes complicate matters.

Thad the extreme pleasure of writing you on the lst instant from this port. The early departure of the mai) from these islands for San Francisco, precluded the possibility of my giving you any detailed account respecting them, and as their importance to the United States is every year becoming more and more apparent and desirable, I have much pleasure in forwarding you the following brief deacriptive account of our visit to the port of Honolulu, on the island of Oahu, ‘The Sandwich Islands, termed by all navigators and explorers the ‘(garden of the Pacific,” on account of their beauty, salubrity of climate, &c., are eight in num- ber, and embrace a superficial area of six thousand one hundred miles. The central position of these islands in the vast North Pacific is highly favorable to their com- mercial growth. Their extremes of latitude are from 18 degrees 50 minutes to 22 degrees 50 minutes north, and of longitude from 154 degrees 53 minutes to 160 degrees 16 minutes west from Greenwich. During our stay, I avaued myself of the opportunities afforded to visit the numerous objects of interest to the stranger, which were of such @ nature as to afford me much pleasure and amusement. The Island of Oahu, at Present the most important of the Sandwich group, is ‘one of the most beautiful I have ever seen, and its ap- pearance from ship board, as you aj roach it from the sea, is magnificent. The harbor of Honolulu, the prin- cipal and most frequented, is situated on the soutoern coast of the island and is, at certain seasons of the year, crowded with the ships of all nations, which seck thes® islands for the purpose of procuring supplies and recruit ing the conditions of their crews. The island being syr- rounded by a natural breakwater, formed of the coral rock, is approached with caution, and the harbor is seldom entered without the aid of a pilot. The town of Honolulu is very pleasantly situated, and laid out in very good style. The valley in which it lies is one of unsur- passed grandeur. The houses are built in the semi-Gothic and Elizabethan styles, and painted white, surrounded by shrubbery and verdure of varied hues, interspersed with trees of beautiful foliage, and in the back ground majestically the Jofty volcanic mountains, for which the Royal Palace of the present King, TV., a large and stately edifice, well titied for a residence and the home of royalty. It is situs in the rear of the town at the foot of a mountain, commanding @ beautiful uninterrupted view of the town and tha: part of the isiand, as also the broad expanse of ocean which surrounds it. I could not but admire the courteous and well mannered deportment of the royal servitors that thronged its hails, who, upon my expressing a wish to see the palace, procured me a cicerone, whose gentle- manly bearing and interesting explanations, accompanied with historical sketches of the late kings, pleased me exceedingly. The present King, Kamehimeha IV. is ane, noble looking man, with marked features, and about twenty-three years of age. Educated in Europe, esses a)) the attributes of the polished gentleman, an well acquainted with the ‘diplomatic school. On his accession to the Hawaiian throne on the death the late King, Kamebameha Ill., in January of last year, he addressed the people ina very appropriate and model speech which gave much satisfaction. He is the son of his Exceliency Kekuoaoa, the present (i: of Oabu, and an adopted son of the late King. mother was Kmau, a chief woman, of ver! rank, who died in 1839, He is a young man of decided ability, which he has disp'ayed in discussions of the House of Nobles duving the past two year. On the 2d of , the Hawailan King visited the svips of war in the harbor of Honolulu, and during stay on board the John Adams, dined with our Captain. His Majesty and suite were ar ia the most gorgeous and costly manner, and decora- tions which adorned the person of ‘the King were in- imitable for elegance and costliness. He was re- ceived by a true Yankee salute of twenty-one guns, thrice repeated, which the battery of this ship boom- ed forth in acknowledgment of the royal visit. His courteous deportment, and the graceful case of manner which characterized his visit, impreseed me deeply and I could not but remark the benedicial influence of the dif- fusing of the Christian doctrine. What noble and re- freshing results do we witness, and how great the transi- tion from savage to civilized life! The ume can still be called to mind when the natives of the Sandwich Islands bowed in adoration to mortal man, and prostrated them- sclves to gain the good will of Captain Cook. Now the descendants of the great chiefs visit the imperial homes of royalty in foreign realms, and command sceptres whose power kings and queens acknowledge, and whose prerogative the desendants even of the great Alexander seek not to question. The armed representative of the French vation, the brig-of war Alex at anchor in Honoiulu harbor, thundered forth the compliments of the Emperor of France on the visit of the Hawatian King on board that ship, and H. B. M. ship Alarm echoed Albion's Jutations on the visit of his August Majesty to that fri gate.
