We are fayorc? with the following report of a conspira- cy, said to have been wered in the capital, and croshed by the government:— We have experienced within the last few days a shock as sensible as @ veritable earthquake, but fortunately the body politic has suilered no severe damage. Although the uninitiated are filled with Spurehacaion and doubt, and yagtte sounds are beard, such as follow like cala ni ties, we have reason to believe that the ship of state hae tairly righted, and 18 again sailing safely but cautiously through the troubled waters. Conspiracies have always been regarded with terror ever siwce the days of ie down to the present lime, and the talents of the greatest and best men have been’ turned to exposing the dangers of all descrip tions of sceret societies as well as secret legislation. But the tendency of the human mind is to inquire into mysteries, and hence many yery good men have been dragged to ruin by the caths and bad counsel which have prevailed in these midnight and dark room assemblages. For some time rumors bad been in circulation of conspiracies against the government, but the Argus eye of the Mexican police never tost sight of the movements of the disaffected. Whether by day or by night, they were viewed with a microscopic power, and their deliberations made known to the goverpment. The action of the authorities was reserved for last Saturday night, when the principal leaders of & projected revolt were arrested in thelr houses and hurried by diligence on their road to Vera Cruz, where ‘hey will take the steamer for New Orleans or some other foreign parts. The names of the banished parties aro as follows :-Senores Don Romulo Diaz de la Vega, Don Miguel Blanco, Don Manuel Gamboa, Don Juan Suarez Navarro, the Canonigo Carbena, and the Padre Prior of Sapto Nominge—six in all, There is unquestionably a division in the public mind with regard to this coerci: itep of the government, and there may perhaps be a iq feeling in favor of those who are thus summarily banished; but all well wishers of Mexico must denounce the attempt to get up another revolution, Great revolutions are not accompished by the sword. They owe their birth to a high intelligence, and are sccompltshed by the power of reasoning. It Mexico is to be kept constantly at war, there ia no chance for her to progrees in those branches which make a peo- le truly great by mental rather than physical strength. The word destroys, but reason and inwiligence make a bappy ‘and prosperous people. present government has 80 far done well for the Dational prosperity, but it came inio power very poor, and bas so many difficulties to encounter that nave been attended with uncommon necessary heavy expenes, that it bas had little time to attend to the improvement of its financial condition. We trust and believe that the ca- lamity of another revolution will be averted, that what- ever reforms may be necessary may be procured by reasoning, and that the blessings of peace may coatinue for the general good of the ration. From the Vera Cruz Progreso, of the 22d inst., we leara that Senores D, Francisco de P. Cesar and D. Felipe Ro bleda, who had been apprehended in Orizaba, fer simila reasons, bad been ordered to leave the country, and were to embark with them on the Texas, fur this city. Ou list of paseengers will show tbat they did ao. ‘These are not the only troubles which have occurred in the republic. From the same rource as we have the foregoing we also have the following account of affairs in sonora — The news from Sonora indicates that the sooner Gen Yanez makes bia appearance there the better for th» peace of that frontier State. General Gandara, the Com mandante General, bas pronounced against the acting Governor, General Aguilar, and bas iet loose a horde o Yake Indians on the country, who are laying it waste with Gre and sword. D. Luis Gandara, brother of the Commandante General, is also in arms against the go- vernment in Ures. The towns of Guaymas, Hermosillo ond Ures are all favorable to the revolation of the Ga: daras, anda large nuimber of the regular troeps have joined the revolt. The (Governor had been surprised im his bed, and all communication prevented between him and others, ex- cept his captors, Twenty-three persons have been thrown into prison, and many others were compelled to fly. The town of Alamos bas refused to sanction this re volt, aud has sent an extraordinary to this city to communicate the intelligence to the government. It appears, however, that four hundred Yake Indians were on their march to that place, and might possibly succeed in converting the people of Alamos to their side. The greatest confusion and most serious apprehensions pre- vail for the peace and security of the State. No cause is assigned for this revolt, and it is only just to suppose that the whole thing has come from political ambition, This te the great and almost sole cause of all the revolutions in Mexico. Liberalism is the bobby on which men ride into power and piace in this country; but a far more deformed creation generally carries them out, called despotisin. The people do not profit by expe rience, and are led from one revolution to another, as it re- volutions were the business of their lives, Gen, Gandara bas published an organic statute, and we suppose has set upon bis own account. His bright dreams must fade with Gen. Yanez’ presence ia that quarter. The Mexico Extraordinary, of the 1étb, saye— We have had av eventful week. On Moaday the to. bacco women set the ball in motion by pronouncing. and Kem the police and the city on the qui vive for that and the following day by their disorderly conduct. They were fortunately subdued on Tuesday evening. On Wednescay the citizens of Mexico were aroused by the announcement that that day was the anniversary of the Pian Ayutl this capital. Patriotic speeches, music and iliaminations were the order of the day and evening. On Thursday we were unable to notice an incident worth mentioning. Yes. terday was the cay of “the glorious ascensi heavens of the most pure Queen of the Angels. places of business were closed, and the people, ia their gala dresses, filled the streets on their way to and from the houses of God. Daring the week Congress has done little or nothing, for the want of a quoruin most of the time. From the country the advices are of the most favorable character. Everything seems to be going ahead in the right mapner. We bave not received » p:ner from the States without its being filled with thau » ihe govern tment for the law for the sale of corporation and church properties. This law qiil certaimly be carried out. From the revolutionary sections of the republic there is notaing to cause serious appreiensions. Ip Sonora a revolution bad been nipped in the bod. and was ended before it had commenced. Vidaurri will undoubtedty be compelled to abandon his project and leave the country, and Col. Seyas, with bis three hundred men, will, if he gets Bis deserts, find a balm for bis disease in a strait jacket. learn that Mr. Foster, scent of the Nicaragua Steamship Company at the port of Manzanillo, bas mado arrangements to bave the steamers touch at that port twice a month hereaiter.

The Turf. UNION COURSE, L. I-—TROTTING. (Tax Baer Tum on Reooxp.—2:245¢ iv Hanvew.' . Another contest between those celebrated nags. Flora Temple jand Tacony, came off yesterday afternoon, for a stake of $1,000. The distance was mile heals; Vlora Temple in harness and Tacony under the saddle. The race was won by Flora Temple in one heat, which she performed in the unprecedented time of 2:2414, distanc- ing Tacony. This_ time is one second less than ever be- fore made, either under the saddle or in harness. Tacony, down the backstretch and to,the half mile Pole, went at a prodigious rate, evidently faster than th» mare was going—the gait must bave been somewhere in the neighborhood of 2:24 or less. If this had been con- tinued ‘without fa breakup, it would have been difficult for the mare to have beaten him in 2:24};—the time in which the heat was performed. At the rate at which Tacony went just previous to breaking, his rider bad not the power to retain the horse on his centre of gravity. This occurred in both instances, and both break. were bad. It is this power of preserving the equilibrium in the horse that constitutes the skill of the rider an river, and for which Hiram Woodru!! is so deservedly celebrated. ‘The attendance was rather slim, when we consider the celebrity of the horses, owing, no doubt, to the absence of sportiog men from the city and the approaching Presi dential election, The weather, however, was everything that could be asked, and the drive out to the course was truly deiightful. ‘The trotting track, however, was not all could have been desired, being rather dry and dusty to our mind, and did not compare favorably with its condition on some other occasions. Some persons, however, thought it just the thing, and they may have been right. Time is the proper test. Tacony, ridden by Warren Peabody, was the first to appear on the track, aud as he jogged around, previous to the match, he looked uncommonly well, we thought, and capable of making as good time as on any former occasion. He is a fine specimen of the American trotting horse, very muscular, oper gaited, und, in fact, possesses every requisite of the trotter. His rider, ay he jogged along, seemed much at ease, and very confident of suc cers, notwithstanding the extraordinary creature against whom he bad t» contend. Fiora shortly afterwa: made her spoons in har- ness, driven by her favorite driver, Hiram Woodruff, who declared after the race that she could beat a locomo- tive. She looked, as she appeared throughout the sum- mer, extremely well, and jogged around the track as gaily as acricket. Her friends were mucn pleased with her, and were ready to back her to any extent, 100 to 30 being current just before the start. She is a universal favorite, and since the days of Lady Suffolk no nag stood bigher in the estimation of sporting men than Flora Temple. They believe her invincible, and her race yes- terday seems to justify that belied. ‘THE RACE. Flora Temple won the inside position, and at the second attempt went oi! with the lead. She opened a gap of three or four lengths on the upper turn, and went to the quarter pole in thirty-seven seconds, with all that advao- tage. On the back stretch Tacony gained on her, and was closing very rapidly on her as they reached the ‘half-@ile pole—time 1:13. The mare now increased her speed, and carried Tacony to a break, from which he did not recover readily, Hiram perceiving the distance Tacony was be- hind, now tried to shut bim out entirely, and make surety doubly sure. The pace of Fiora then became traly astonishing, and she reached home from the halt-mile pole in one minute and eleven and a half seconds, making the entire heat in 2:244¢! After Tacony re- covered from his tirst break, he made @ gallant attempt to catch the mare, which resulted in another bad break on the homestretch, from which he could pot recover in time to save bis distance. And so ended this long to be remembered trot of Flora Temple and Tacony. The following is a summary — ‘Turspay, Sept. 2.—Trotting match, $1,000, mile heats, H. Woodruff named b. m. Flora Temple. 1 W.

Morgan, @ man about thirty-five years of age, was taken into custody on Monday a/ternoon, on charge of having defrauded a number of jewellers out of gold watches, &c., by means of the confidence game. The accused, it is al Jeged, eutered the store of Messrs. Freeman & Bennett, of Broadway, in the month of August, and, stating that he ‘was a merchant from Savannah, Ga., said he came on to New York for the purpose of purchasing some jewelry. He was shown some watches, chains, &c., by the propri- etors of the store, who succeeded in telling him a bill of $308 worth. Buiford then told the proprietors of the store to send the property over to @ clothing store in Nassau street, near Fuiton, were he would be in readi ners to pay for the property. Mr. Freeman himself was the bearer of the precious bundle, avd on arriving et the clothing store in question he saw Mr. Bufford, who instantly went to a desk ond drew a check on the Union Bank for the required amount. Mr. Freeman at tirat declined to part with the jewelry, and not antil be was assured by the proprietors of the clothing store that it was all right did ne place the package in tae custody of the defendant. On application to the cashier of the bank, it was discovered that the check was entir>- ly worthless, that the accused never bad any acco it in that institution, ard could not therefore hope to have his check honored. Mr. Freeman immediately ran back to the clothing store anc told the proprietors what had hap- pened, but they could not give him the slightest satisfac- von, for they even went so fer as to say that they did not inumate anything that could bs constraed as favorable to the credit of Buford. They denied most plumply that they said be was a responsible party, or anything to that effect. Finding that no redress could be obtained from the talloring firm, Mr. F. laid the care before the Chief of Police, when Sergeant levoe was detailed for tho purpose of ferreting out the rogue. Much time was spent in search ing for the fellow, but he could not be found, At lest it was determined to print a number of cards descriptive of Boufford, ond cireulate them.

He moved the adoption of the report end the discharge of the commit. tee. He thought it was too late in the day to com- mence legal proceedings against Mr. Garigue for contempt. Such action, if taken at all, ought to have been taken at the time, by the committee towards whom the contempt was shown, who possessed full powers to vindicate their dignity and punish the ofiender. But the report of the committee had been ac- cepted and the committee discharged, and nothing was said in their report about that refusal of Mr. Garrigue to testify; buts jong time afterwards this resolution to commence a suitagatnst him was offered, Be thought the whole thing was the instigation of personal enmity Mr. Smith. the author of the resolution, denied that he was instigated by personal feelings in offering it, but be thought toeselfrespect and dignity of the Board de manded that Mr. Garrigue should pe punis aed for the dis- ~ pect and contempt which he haa shown towards them. Mr. Waryrr and Mr. Tayior took @ similar view of the matter, and insisted upon viadicating the “dignity” of whe Board. Mr. Swan replied that if the Board were anxious to vin- dicate their dignity, there bad been plenty of opportunt ties more urgent than this. For his part he thought the Board had precious little dignity to defend, or they would have defended it long ago Mr. Prius offered as substitute for the report of the committee a resolution similar to that originally referred to the committee directing the Counsel to the Corpora tion to commence legal proceedings against Mr. Garrigue sor coatempt. The ayes and noes were called, and the tabstitute was carried by a vote of 32 to 18, ‘The Board then adjourned to 6 o’closk, this evening. BOARD OF TEN GOVERNORS. Board met at 4 P.

Senator Douglas versus Senator Wilsos on the Bogus Laws of Kansas, READ BOTH SIDES AND THEN JUDGE. Speech of Senater Douglas, of Tltnois, ow the Army A; low BUl, Delivered ta the Senate, Pag. 27, 185%, Mr, Dovciax—Mr. President, the Senator from New York (Mr. Seward), who has just taken his seat, has made himse# merry over the prospect of the defeat of the ap- Propriotion bill fer the oy Ihave never seen bim so exuitan? and jubjfant singe he has been a member of this body as en the oceasion of what he considers to be the great triumph which be hopes to achieve in paralyzing at least one of the departmerts of the government. He has referred to the evils aad the misehievous and am- fortunate consequences whicl may result, and bas made them the sudjectof ridicule aad of laughter and of mirth. 1 comfess that | listened to him with no pleasure whem I heard him digsussing the question in that mood. | con- foes that Iam not able to eympathise wita the tone of feeling which makes b.m 60 exultant in the prospect of such consequences. That miscbiefs must result fromthe defeat of the gene- ral appropriatioa bill for the army, is a fact to which no one for & moment can close bis eyes, That it must nave a dcranging and disorganizing eflest on all the operations of that department of the government, if 1 does not em- tirely paralyze them, is certainly true. That it mone bring suiting and distress to a very large portion of the people of the United States, is admitted by all, That i¢ must brirg discredit upon this country abroad, im the a of the whole civilized world, no one can question. by. then, shculd this be a subject of rejoieing? Sir, the history’ of the world shows that whenever an attempt bas been made to overthrow any government, good or bad, the frot step has been to cripple and desiroy the army. Reyolutionists at ail times—men bent on the cestruction of their goverument—no matier by what purpose anizeated or what cause they allege to justify themscives, first atterypt to destroy the regular force ef the country. [ bave no symputhy io this movyemeat— have never admired the complaceucy wbich can ri in pubiie misfortanes, since | read the story of Nero, whe = make bimself merry and dddle whe Rome wae urning. Sir, circumstances have begun to develope themselves which enable us now to see the whole scheme which hag heen plotted and arranged, and is now being executed. The first part of the scheme was to deteat the appropria- \ons for the Territory of Kansas, and, if possible, to pa- ralyze the civil govermment there. The next was to or- ganize a boc y of armed desperadoes to invade Kansas fer the purpose of getting up civii war. The political party with which the Senator from New York is identified, amd of which it may be said he is the chisf, in a convention at Buflaio, agreed to raise $100,000 month to employ men and supply, arm, and eeulp them to invade Kansea, for the purpose of making war upoo the law aad order men there. They have have had their men hovertng om the western boundary of Iowa for weeks, waiting for the adjournment of Congress, aud for the telegraphic des- patch to reach them announcing that the army Dill had been defeated, so that the war could commence. You kept your forces there, frst, to control the elec- tion in Towa by fraudulent and illegal votes, and them to be marched acrozs the rivergto murder the inhabitants and burn the towns in Kavsas. Your men were there for that poe, receiving telegraphic jaformation from their leaders here, and the moment they were tm- formed that the army bill had been defeated, the civit war instantly commenced in Kansas. House: were burned, buildings destroyed, a post office consumed, tm- nocent inhabitants shot down ia cold blood, without the slightest pret xt or provocation, ‘or weeks previous to that time—yes, for months pre- vious—there had been peace, quiet aod order in Kansas, ‘There was no disturbance there, The people were happy in the recurity that surrounded them, and there never would bave been another telegraphic despatch or com- munication eonveying the sad intelligence of bloodshed and murder if Lave had not been sent there by the free soil party to get up civil war a: a party movemen!. The facts of the case are too clear to allow any maa to deny them; and there 1s n0 one of you who does not rejoice when the news of a new conflagration or of anew murder reaches you. Itis notorious toevery maa in Washing- ton that if you see the freesoilers, with their eyes ghut- eving aud congratalating each other, it is when they have heard of murder, of robbery, of larceny. of house- burning in Kansas by their agents for political effect. ‘This fs a part of the political campaign. Pceateee that i¢ is a sad spectacle to bebold; it is a mournful thought, that the blood of ‘nnocent men can be shed for party purposes, ip pursuance of caucus arrangemeats, ia order to controi the Presidential election; yet the the fac: is too glaripg tor apy map to deny or doubt it, This invasion of Kaneas is vaprovoked; the murders are of the most barbarovs and cruel character: the Territory is being ravaged for the purpose of compelliag citizens there to rally in their defence, and bring on a pitched batue, im order that you may show some of your own men as mare tyre sacrificed to freedom. Your daily prayers and nightly invocations are that battle may take place, i ich some men from the North may be murdered. that you may play the part of Mark Anthony over the dead Cwsars. It a pre-slavery man ie killed, it ts a glorious triumph tn ur estimation. Ife free sor'er iskilled, itis so much political capita! for the mp and for the newspapers. [tis on such an iesue ‘Ubat the Senator from Marsacbusetts challenges and dares us to go before the country. Sir, it is an issue from which every feeling of my heart recoile. The idea that blood should be spilled and murders perpetrated for political «ilect, is revolting to eve-y sentiment of human- ity. Yet, eir, if it must be £0, let us carry this issue to the country, and charge these crimes on the heads of the men this city who get them oP, and the 'y whe sustains them. Sir, in my heart | believe that every drop of blood shed in Kansaa rests upon the souls of the leaders of that political party which is of thes civil war, with @ view to the Presidential election. If they can rejoice in the prospect of consummatiog thelr plan of the campaign, their feelings are very didereat rom mine, What is the exouse for all of this organization of mitt- tary force, this invasion of a peaceable people, this burm- ing of houses and murdering of citizens? Theexcuse is that certain laws, which have been read to the Senate several times to-day, and on many previous secasiong also, are cruel and tyranoical. inhuman and barbarous. ‘That i# the only excuse which is otfered for all this crime. You say that you are not willing to allow the President of the Cotted States to use the mi'it force for the ea- lorcement of these barbarous laws ‘nen did he ever propore to use it for that purpose’ When has be ever used it to entorce one of them! You khow very well that up to this hour no one prosecution has ever arisem under any one of thore laws of which you complain. By common and universal consent in Kansas these lags re- uoexeouted, and no mortal man has ever made @ complaint to a court of justice, so tar asl cen learn, fore writ or process for a violation of any one of those obnox- tous laws. You know that they have never been execut- ed. You know that the very oflicers of whom you com- plain in Kansas do pot pretend to enforce them. Hence you have po right to suppose, and I undertake to say you 60 not beheve, that these particular laws are to be em- forced by this appropriation; and, therefore, the excuse which you give for the defeat of the ai Dill ts not sustained avd bas po foundat! Whenever I find a man saying to me on the stump that his vote against the Army bill was in order to prevent the President from enforcing those particular obuoxion: lawa, \ sball say to him that he knows that pretext is not true; tbat there is not an bonest man living who does not know that it is @ mere excuse. You know that the appropria- tion bill is not for the enforcement of those particular aws. You have been told betore, time and time agai that no one of those laws has been enforced, no one their penalties has been inflicted, no case of the kind haa over arisen: yet, when one of you rise to make a speech cuse the crime of stopping the wheels of government, end peoducing civil war in the Territory of eas, you cite these very laws which nobody pretends to enforce. Whenever men are driven to give a false reason for their persistent action, it shows that there is a true reason which decency or patriotism does not allow them to avow. | show that the in regard to these laws is a ‘nie reason, and inference is that there isa ai‘Terent one which impels ther action; and why not avow the true one, if consistent with hovor, with duty, with patri- otiem: Tam constrained to believe that if there were Presidential election approaching there would be entire quiet and peace in Kane Tam constrained to believe that each crime committed there recently has been done by the orders of @ political organization. Iam comstrain- ed to believe that Lane ts the regularly appointed agent and commander for that purpose, and t 8 if not to cease ontil after the Presidential election When thet election is over, if the constitution triumphs—as I be- lieve it will—there will be peace in Kansas; for there will be no moti¢e for any political party to spend money to fit out bands of marauders and deperadoes to get up cimi war. Mr. Wrisox—Order will reign in Warsaw, then. Dove .as—Order will reign in Warsaw, the Senator All these cant phrases are used for the purpose of ‘one of you will pretend that these obnoxious laws, to which you refer so often, have been the cause of the disorders and disturbanges which have occurred in Kansas, Again: is it really true that you are anxious to get rid gantsed pajoriy inthe other house sufblenty avec eres anized sufficiently nui And well trained to defeat the bilis anc ‘You hay pace 8 bill fo repeal them, for tear the Senate would come our, an your litical . win samme Th Ho comenves €14 . . here, re} tl pith @, Fepealing those laws, and the Mr. Doveras—What bill?
