This was the system under which the old Territories existed and operated. Senator Weller called up his bill to day, which led to an interesting debate. Mr. Bayard and others expressed a willingness to support the bill as a “Declaration of Rights” for the Territory, though opposed to any revision of the particular laws. Karsas had a constitution, but it would be well to secure her a ‘Bill of Rights.”’ Senators Brown and Mason opposed any interference whatever with the Kansas laws. It would be a violation of the pled ge to the people of the Territory, contained in the Kansas-Nebraska act, that the people should legislate to suit themselves on all subjects of a loca! character. If this legislation be in violation of the constitution or laws, the judiciary would afford the proper relief. Pending the debate, the Senate adjourned. The House did nothing to-day but receive the reports in the fighting case between McMullen and Granger. No developements to-day as to the probabie result of the contest on the army bill. The Senate held another caucus immediately after auy court of the United States than to Liecommon law. Excessive bail shall not, be required, Bor: excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishniente inilicted, Mr. Weir said he was willing to do all in his power to obviate existing difticulties.

Mn Grittenden intends offering g proposition annalling the objectionable laws of Kansas, abolishing the ‘Berritorial Legislature, and placing the legislative power in che handsof t .¢ Governor and Judges. ‘Mhis, also, will be defeat eq. Indeed, i: is evident, from the tone of the sp .eches delivered yesterday, Shat the Senate intend ; to adopt the advice of Mr. Mason, and reduce the House to submission, before entertaining any prop sition for the pacification of Kansas. Inthe How ¢ the investigating committee | onthe McMullen a> 4 Granger assault esd battery ease made reports. The majority report concludes by stating thatthe matter requires no further action onthe part ofthe House. The American State Council commenced its ses- sion at Syracuf e yesterday. The attendance is ed with respect, however hotly the war might be waged upon their official acts, quatities, deficien- cies and offences. This aymistiee of decency, however, was a very brief one. A few days af- ter Fremont’s nomination, the Richmond En quirer led the way to the violatien of the truce in one of those feroc! seurrilous assaults upon the editor of the New Yor: Heratp, which are so common with our matignant, but impo- tent, political enemies. Like a cross cur chained to a post, they waste their wrath in idle snap- ping and barking: for they cannot reach us The wretched slang of the Enquirer was echoed by the Washington Union, the Philadelphia Penn- asylvenian, and other leading Buchanan organs, until most of the democratic pack were in full ery, with the secessionists:and abolitionists, after Bennett.

Vie have news from Vera Cruz to the 22d inst, on the campaign vigorously, by circulating publications and otherwise. From this it will be seen that the radical abo- litionists who are in favor of disunion, the sepa- tion of the North from the South, and the destruc- tion of the Constitution and the Bible, have their own party, and have set on foot their own move- ments. This party is quite distinct, and is op- posed to the supporters of Fremont in the North. It is a singular fact that the abolitionists of the North avow precisely the same doctrines as the candidate, Fremont. A little penny paper at Richmond, Virginia, professedly neither de- mocratic nor Know Nothing, was em- ployed to commence the miserable game of personalities against Fremont. Ground being thus broken, the temptation was too strong to be resisted, and the Richmond Enquirer, the Washington Union, and other democratic journals claiming to be respectable, repeated the charges and insinuations against the parents of Fremont more important papers that have been read. The public will understand that the communica- tious meade to a body of this character na‘urally divide themselves into two classes: the one tech- nical, such as, for instance, summaries of local geological surveys. special pakeortological dis- quisitions, dissertations on specific controverted questions in zoology, problems in transcendental mathcmatics, exercises in the theory of astrono- my, and arithmetical examinations of astronomi- .

Keeping this distinction in view, and feelmg persuaded that brief summaries of papers of the former class, were more likely, from obvious reasons, to be deceptive than instructive, we have given them but little attention, while we have devoted to the second category of papers an amount of space such as no daily journal has ever yet spared for such a purpose. since continued with constantly increasing sa- Uowaecy ao Tremont nas advanced in the esti- mation of the people, until, by all odds, he has become the best abused man in the United States since the days of General Jackson—Jackson him- self not excepted. Mark the transformation which has thus been made in the character of Fremont. The protegé and the young lion of the democratic party, the cientific explorer, who was the boast of all par- ies and all sections, and universally regarded as an honor to the country, has suddenly become, from the later discoveries of our Buchanan and Fillmore journals, Senators and stumpers, the most despicable of impostors. They represent ticians have been every now and then for separa- tion. Indeed, the Charleston Mercury, the princi- pal democratic secession journal of the South, has quite recently declared that every man in that region, slaveholder or otherwise, is for disunion, So it seeme that the disunion party in the South is in favor of Buchanan, and that the disunionists of the North are in favor of Gerrit Smith. In presence of such facts what folly it is for the ad- ministration and other Buchanan organs to assert that the party which supports Fremont is in fa- vor of disunion. The very reverse is the fact. Fremont is the most conservative candidate of all, and those who support him are quite as conserva- tive, as their future acts and policy will show. asa.snal, except in the Northern States, where the Iedians were committing fearful . and Vi bad esa = p-vsuncumento the bm under his control “free and independent of the despotic powers of Mexico.” Under the pre- tence of chastising the savages, Vidaurri has in fact commenced another revolution against the general government, designing, if successful, to ef- fect a dissolution of the Union, with the view of set- ting op an independent State, or possibly annexa- tion to the United States. The movement was popu- lar at Monterey, but along the frontier the greatest alarm prevailed. Advices from British Guiana, dated at Demarara, 29th ult, say the proposition to admit conviets from the neighboring British colonies, to be kept at the penal settlement on the Massaroony, seems to be be fone towards the pacification of Kangas before he leaves for the Territory. ‘The New York American State Council.

We give elsewhere a detailed account of the origin and progress of the yellow fever at Fort Hamilton and Yellow Hook. The first death rred on the 26th of July, since which time fifty-eight persoas have died in that vicinity. The disease has been very malignant, and scarce an adult has recovered who was attacked by it. At the Quarantine the dis ease has almost entirely died out; only two cases are at present in Marine Hospital, and all excite- ment has subsided. There are one hundred and twenty vessels now doing quarantine below. ‘The Fire Marshal's investigation into the origin of the fire at 453 Hudson street, has elicited a state of facts upon which Justice Davison yesterday issued a warrant for the arrest of Mrs. Thompson, the occupant of the house, on a charge of burning the furniture, with an intent to defraud the insur- ‘ance company. A reportof the case may be found among our police intelligence. millionaire, a bankrupt and a Jeremy Diddler. Lately the barthen of this peculiar labor of love has rested upon the shoulders of that most shame- less, reckless and degraded of all Know Nothing more organs, the New York Express, and for several weeks it has substantially enjoyed the monopoly of this dirty work. The Fremont journals of this city, having higher interests and higher objects in view than personal abuse and defamation, have found it dif- ficult to meet these calumniators with their own weapons, except in the way of a joke or of play- ful ridicule. In this way, for example, have we treated the mock-herofe but unfortunate love adventure of Mr. Buchanan, and “ the great grog question at Wheatland; but such halfway expedients with the enemy have only served to sharpen their appetites for the garbage to which they have taken. In this exigency down comes the Rev. Joseph A oville, with his Register, from Albany; and setting ap his battery here in New York, the first broadside which he opens upon these Buchanan and Fillmore Agassiz on animal developement, which is not yet concluded. To speak in this manner as lay- men, and not as scientific professors, the subject of animal developement, which has engaged the attention of practical philosophers from the days of Aristotle downwards, may yet be considered as being in an embryonic state. For we presume that the nonsense and vagaries which were uttered or printed on the subject up to the close of the eighteenth century rather injured than helped the cause of truth; while even Buffon, who first found solid ground in the unknown quicksands, made no more progress than might have been expected of the firet dis coverer, and moreover on more than one occa- sion sacrificed philosophical accuracy for the sake of a finely rounded period. Bair, who since ob- ained nobility as some reward for his invaluable discoveries, made a prodigious step by the detec- tion of eggs in mammalia; but as though, in this all important matter, every step must cost the labor of a generation, the period which has elapsed since Bair's disclosures has been as an- have no opinions or interests in common. Let every tub stand on its own bottom. HS $3 Political Movements in Massachusetts. FREMONT BARBECUE—IMMENSE GATHERING OF THE PEOPLE. Bostox, Ang. 26, 1856. The Fremont barbecue came off to day in Charles River Grove, Needham. The proceedings were very enthu siaetic and harmonious. An ox was roasted whole, bands of music were in attendance, and not lees thao twenty five thousand people were present. Speeches were made from four stands in different points of the grove, At ten o'clock the meeting was organized as fol- lows:—President, Hon, David H. Hitchoock, of Nowton; Vice Presidents, Hon Charles Hudson, of Lexington; Ton, ‘Lhomas Marsh, of Waltham; Hon. J, ©. Park, of Boston; Teaae Livermore, of Cambridge, and about thirty others, Robert Carter, of Cambridge, and seven others, secretaries. Speeches were made by Hon. D. R. Bitebeock, Hon. A. C. Brewster, Hon. F.C. Baker, Hon T. D, Elliott, Hom. Simon Brown, Hon. Chas. A. Phelps, and others. A letter from Charles Sumner was read, ex- pressing his regret at having to forego the pleasure of uniting in such festivities at present. He closes as foi lows: “ Looking over the field from the quiet of my re- treat, I see everywhere the harbingers of success.

But as the House Sind so much Tue Last Wau. or tae Know Notuives.— The recent meeting of naturalized Germans at the Tabernacle, in favor of Fremont, has elicited a prodigious wail from the Know Nothing jour- nals in these quarters. They raise a cry of unnatu- ralized foreigners, red republicans and infidel strangers against all who took part in that de- monstration. This, however, may be considered as the last wail of the faction before its final demise. On looking over the history of Anglo-Saxon im- migration and settlement on this continent, no- thing appears more absurd than this attempt to create a prejudice against foreigners arriving on our shores. When the Puritans first settled at Plymouth, and the Catholics in Maryland, when the Cavaliers colonized Virginia and the Hugue- nots South Carolina, it would have been just and proper for the red men of that day to raise a cry against foreigners; for the result of their proceed- had belore declared, many rogation of the organic iaw, United States, Freedom of speech was guaranteed by the: The sale of the slaver Braman, which was set . ‘ . . q farther ‘wanted to wipe them out at once. down by the United States District Court for this | C*7T!OM Crows scatters them as Bragg 8 battery fruitful as that which intervened between Buffon | 188 Was that they deprived the Indians of their ropa sean mts ta tearniaie sad ealanen cue Mr. Berixn, (dem.) of @ C., regarded it as a subject day, was postponed yesterday, on application of Mr. | “eattered the Mexicans at Buena Vista.
