Calculations=Buchanan and Fi.mere ngetact Fremont, and His Defeat Net Yet Ucrenin. "We transfer to the colamne of the Heap to- ‘Gay two rémarkable articles on theprobable re- eults of the Presidential election—the first from the Journal of Commerce, the only Buchanan organ of this city with any pretensions to respectability, either in standing or circulation; and the se cond from the “lowe star” of Mr. Fillmore, which to the spoits and border ruffian democracy. The first of these articles claims as positively ——— | ‘certain for Mr. Buchanan all the Southern States, excepting Maryland and Delaware, which it leaves among the doubtful. This gives Mr. Ba- chanan 109 -electoral votes to start upon, 149 only being required for an election. To make up this number, our Buchanan cotemporary ap- propriates the three free States of Pennsylvania, Mlinois.and California, which gives the democratic noninee altogether 151 electoral votes, being two more than the exact mumber required. The that there is no disputing these figures; and yet it says “there is danger,” and appeals to the fright- ened democracy to “‘ buckle on their armor, and work like heroes for a glorious triamph.”” Our exclusive Fillmore organ or Kuow Nothing scavenger to the Forney de- mocracy, gives us @ eomewhat different pic- ture—a different grouping of the principal cha- racters, and under different lightsama shades. It admits that the fusion in the North of the Fill- more outside faction with the Fremont move- ment, would instantly decide the election against Buchanan; but the Fillmore Know Nothings are working for principles, Mark that. Fremont is @ Northern sectional candidate, and they won't rapport him, while Buchanan is.a Southern sec- tional candidate, and they can’t support him. a] Wherefore, they split the difference upen Fill- anore, in order to be revenged upon Fremont, who bas kad the audacity to run for the Presi- €ency against the democracy, notwithstanding Mr. Fillmore was already in the field, and as enxious and as hopeful of another tenm in the White House as was Captain Tyler in 1844, or WanBuren in 1848. The particular drift, however, of the Fillmore organ of Buchanan is to run the election into Congress, by a few scattering votes upon Fill- more; and by way of encovragement to the des- pelring Know Nothings of “the South, a glimmer of hope is held out that New York may probably gofor Mr. Fillmore after all; for, says his ex- elusive Buchanan Know Nothing organ. “ bere in the Empire State is the battle ground, and we know it;.and if we go for Fillmore we be- lieve.co goes the prize in the end.” Taking up these two Buchanan customer in their arder, the regular and more respeetable one is entitled to the precedence. We must say, then, that there is something of plausibility io the estimates of the Journal of Commerce. The late elecons in Kentucky and North Carolina show the! there isnot the ghost of a chance” for Fillmore in those States; and the late deser- tions of certain leading old line whigs in Mary- land thow that, even in that staunch old whig | 0 keep sion forces divided there betwean Fre- mom ard Fillmore.

Some of the Fillmore electors are, we perceive, going over to Fremont, and with proper activity and energy, the whole of them may be carried over with the results of the October election. The estimates of the enemy show that Fremont may yet be elected. Tar Reasoy FOR THE Extra Session oF Concress.—The House amendment to the Army bi}, on Kansas affairs, which the democratic Se- nate could not agree to, was the cause of the failure of that bill, and ite failure is the reason urged by the President for calting Congress to- | gether again, The following is the House pro- viso, which has thus resulted in the extra session of Congress, to wit:— vided, however, and it is 3, that pt Provided, hereby hyd eg o4 evpport of which ‘appropriations are made by this act shall be employed reid of the eaoretanens Of AY ennch ment of the body claiming to be the Territorial ue of Kansas, begs - (a ge} cn pes oa eres ‘appro Congress; but thi _— Tityeed. a2 10 prevent the President from employ ing an adequate military force; but it shall be his duty t employ fuch force to prevent the invasion of saxd Terri tory by armed bands of Pet myn bitin ty sed 4 or ¢) sate emi a td Toray heeded ps therein, and jen the national meters fog to eand Territory, from all unlawfal fen gg | seizures; aud it be his further duty to take efficient meneures to compel ihe retarn of and withhold all arme of the United distributed in or to said Territory. in pursuance of any law of the United States autborizing the distribution of arms to the States and Territories. The only difficulty about this amendment, wit! Mr. Toombs and Mr. Douglas, is that it does nol allow the money of the federal treasury nor the} United States troops to be used for the benefit off the border ruffians—that’s all. The following are the items of appropriation of the bill which thus bangs suepended upon this proviso:— For the support of the army— ATMY Proper........ceceeeee Armories, areenals and munaions of war Miltary Academy......... Fort.fications and other works of di Surveys, 6 ‘Arrearages ° x As the case stands, upon the simple principh of fair play and squatters’ rights, we conside that there are some pointe in that proviso greater importance than these appropriation, and we think that the House should stand out, f necessary, till the day alter the Presidentil election, rather than allow the Pierce democray to dodge the responsibility of these Kansas atp- cities, and the duty of putting a stop to thea. The two houses are to meet to-day, and we elall soon see where the backbone is wanting. Amb- |] solute back down from that proviso will be «ui- valent toa surrender of the Territories to the law of ruffianism:, instead of the doctrine of »pu- lar sovereignty. Let us have an understmding with the Buchanan people as to the exact mraning of the Cincinnati platform in reference to theaffaire of Kansas. We believe that it means rafianism in Kansas as it means raffianiem in Cuba; bat let us know what it means. Bring them to the point. Mexican Arratns—The news from Mexico, though not very important, is not without in- terest, The discussion of the new constitution bas rot impaired the progress of liberal pringi ples, which appear to gain stability every day. The President having overcome Me political ait foulties, is locking towards the improvement of the internal resources of the country, and bie government bas iseued a decree for the con- struction of an inter-oceanie railway from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific, on what is called of Mr. Ramsey. AW this is well; but chiefly at hie vigorous policy in relation church, in which he seems to be greatly r, and thus-far eminently successful. Priests in numbers have been sent into exile, and sales of church property continue to “be Every acre thus disposed of enures to the benefit of the treasury, and enlarges the sphere of profitable labor. In a debate on an rticle of the constitution, aimed at religious vows, or promises, involving the sacrifice of life or liberty, and at contracts made for life for children and minors, there has been a warm con- test between the puros, or liberals, and the friends of the hierarchy; but the latter were but 23 to 58, and were defeated. This is an encouraging result, and we trust the spirit which produced ft will remain frm and unbroken until absolute freedom, religious as well as political, prevails in Mexico. Nothing but the sinieter and danger- ous influence of the clergy can prevent our sister republic from taking her just position among the nations of the carth, and General Comonfort and hie cabinet, it is to b> hoped, will continue to follow the path of duty so obvious, clear and well deGined, till the liberty and the greatness of Mexico are secured upon ani perishable basis, The blow has been struck in the right quarter: let it be firmly clenched. made. Tae New Post Orricr: Locattox.—One of our centemporary journals, of which Mr. McEl- rath, the President of the Nassau Bank, ie a part proprietor. comes out in favor of purchasing the old Brick Church as the site for the new Post Office. Well, there is no barm in this; Mr. McElrath, we believe, was concerned in the pur- chare of the old k Church property as a land speculation. Hie partners in the affair were Mr. Wesley, the principal proprietor of the Darly Vi ud other parti¢s. They bought the pro ériy, it is etated, for $280.00, or thereaboute They now offer {t for $600,000, and we h-- every reaton to believe that the government at Warhington meane to drive a political bargain with theee worthies in selecting a location for the new Post Office. Now, the difference between the eum paid for this property and that which ie demanded for it is $520,000. This divided amongst the silent and moneymaking partners of the Tribune and Times would be a very curious set off to their po- litiea) fidelity in the sapport of Fremont against Buchanan. Greeley we believe to be honest in his eupport of Fremont, and so in all probability ie Dana, but we would not give five cents for the State settlers, will give a powerful impulse to the | political honesty of any of the confederates of Fremont movement, whole weight of which thould be thrown upon the Penneylvania October election. Admit that, in a consti: nal view, the South are entitled to Kansas, their b co of power in the Senate may still be secu by the addition of two slave States from Texas, a offket to California and Kansas. This arr ment may really be the best, because the px tion, soil, products and affinities of Kansas render it more available for a freeState. At all events. the iseue ie Kansans and the border raffiane, and free soil or el # between Fremont and Bu. chanan and the whole pressure of the criminal administration of Kansas affairs by Mr. Pierce, which hae been adopted by Mr. Buchanan, and san the Brick Church speculation. Only think of the meane of political action which are thrown into the hande of govern ment by thie Post Office appropriation.

Jomer Ducbawan for the Presidency . Jovnnatigd pe New Yous.—Ramore have rently been circulated announcing the collec- don of a fand of $100,000 for the establishment of a daily journal in favor of Buchanan and the algger driving democracy. Now, Mr. Buchanan, \lthough a very respectable politician and a very smiable man, has been miserably represented in she press of this city, and the idea of collecting abundred thousand dollars was a very natural ane in the condition in which his cause stands here. As yet, however, we have seen nothing to indicate that the firet step has been taken in this project. Forney, who is the Oliver Le Dain of the nigger drivers, has been able to accomplish nothing. Neither have Sickles, Sanders or Ro- bert J. Walker, whose names have been connected with similar rumors, done anything positive. Whilst these evidences of weakness in the Bu- chanan party are forcing themselves on our ob- servation, the cause of Fremont seems to be pro- gressing immensely, not only amongst the peo- pie, but the journals of this State. We perceive tbat an evening paper in the interest of Fremont has been started in this city under the supervision and direction of the Rev, Joseph A. Scoville, who was formerly connected with several weekly journals here. The Register can hardly be called a new paper--it is rather a transplantation from Albany to a richer soi) and more congenial atmosphere, in which it will have increased chances of success. The Fremont party wanted a lively, pungent, original and vi- gorous evening organ, and they have got it. The first New York iseue of the Register is out, and it ie certainly a novelty in its way. The editor hangs out bis banner in favor of Col. Fremont for President, Horace Greeley for Governor, and Fernando Wood for Mayor, whilst at the same time he walks into Thurlow Weed and the little villains of al} parties comprehending the trash writers of the Sunday press, without any rostric- tions, drawbacks or hesitation whatever. Of the six New York evening journals there are now three in the interest of Fremont, two in that of Fillmore, and one in that of Buchanan. Of these three Fremont papers the last establish- edis the most vigorous of all, The journalism of this great metropolis is singularly divided in the precent contest. There are 200,000 daily sheets iseued in favor of Fremont, morning and evening, whilst the number in favor of Bachanan is pot more than 10,000 or 12,000, and of Fill- more hardly so much. Such a disparity in the intellectual batteries of a great city like this must soon tell amonget an intelligent people. It would only require a few months campaign, with the aid of such powerful moral auxiliaries, to en- able Fremont to distance all his competitors out of sight. FasnionaBe Staurepe.—One of the princi- pal causes of the dulness in basiness just now, is the great number of people out of town. Every watering place—every fashionable resort in the country is crowded with New Yorkers. The number of absentees at this moment is thoaght to be greater than ever before known. In the immediate vicinity of the city every hotel and boarding house is filled with families. The demand for residences at distances suflicignt- ly convenient to enable gentlemen to do business in the city up to a late hour, and reach home be- fore dark, is annually increasing. Another class seek residences more remote, where the season can be spent in peace and quiet, away from the turmoil and exeitement of fashionable life. All sorte of people can be suited within an area ofa hundred miles; and the mania for getting into the country during the hot season has been this year almost universal. This month is comforta- ble cnough everywhere in the city, and it may induce many to return at an carlier day. Wall street will not wear its wonted appearance uatil Newport and Saratoga are deserted. Stocks cannot move up much until the brokers get hold ofthe well filled pockets of the large class of oatside speculators who congregate at these ihehionable resorte. They will come beck sharp set for an operation in some fancy, and they will rot be in the street long without a chance. Ano- ther heated term would have an unfavorable cf- feet upon the bulls of the Brokers’ Board. The Plucking season would be for a time postponed. Genvax Frevoxt Meetive To-Nicut.—Oar German fellow-citizens, in favor of « Fremont, free prese, free speech, and freedom for Kansas,” as they express it, holda mass meeting in the Tabernacle to-night. These Germans are a peo- ple who think for themselves—they are demo- crats in principle; but they repudiate the demo- eracy of the Cincinnati platform, Mr. Pierce and the torder ruffians, as something more than they bargained for when they left their petty despote on tle other side of the Atlantic. We have no doult that they wil! ehow to-night that the Ger- man vote of the country is lost to the spoils and niggsr driving democracy, and goes for Fremont and the old democracy of the canetitution.

Wasixcros, Aug. 20, 1866, Our city is remarkably quiet to-night, The opening of an extra session to-morrow creates no excitement, as it geems to be admitted that no general legigiasion will be done. A Senatoria) caucus was held to-day, at 120’clock, in the ante-room of the Senate, to take into consideration the course to be pursued by them in reference to the Army bill, They decided to act upon nothing until that bill was digposed of, and not to adjourn until comething was ef- fected, A joint regolution will be offered in the Senate to-mor- row, authorizing the Bouse to take up the Army bill, and it is the judgment of many that the House will re- cede from their amendment and pass the Dill in short metre. There are upwards of one hundred and fifty members in the city, and numbers are expected this evening and to morrow morning. Ihaye just been informed that in case the House ro cedes from the amendment another rider will be put on, declaring the whole code of Kansas laws null and void— ade novo organization, ‘The President bas prepared a short message, which will be tranemitted to Congress to-morrow, stating the reatone why he has called them tcgether. Itis said to be suort, and devoted entirely to the importance of the Army bill, and the positive necessity for iis passage. It refers to the factious action of the House which led to its defeat on Monday. Southern members have been trading off their Kansas report for ot Office reports with the republicans. ‘The republicans iatend to uge the report for electioneer- ing purposes in the North. Large quantities of Mr. Sage’s speech, showing up Pierce’s administration, bave been subscribed for by people of New Hampshire, and also in many other sec- tions of the No: th. The members of Congress received their pay under the new bill providing for their compensation, namely, $3,000, commencing from the 4th of March, 1965, and ending the 4th of March, 1856, and at that rate for every cay from the last named period up t>today. The mem- bers who have been voluntarily absent during the late seegion certified cpon honor as to the amount of time ‘thus lost, Jor which a pro rata deduction was made from their ealary. The bill for a line cf steamers to run between New York, Plymouth and Gluckstadt, near Hamburg—Han- sen’s proposed enterprise—passed unanimously the Pos: Office Committee of the House, and will be acted upon early next sessien. There is a general good feeling to- wards the project. bad great weight with the members. Although the Senate inserted in the Post Office Appro- Priation bill $500,000 for an overland semi-weekly mail to £an Francigco from eome point on the Mississippi river, it was Orally etricken out by the action of the Committee of Conference.
