Kaxsis—Prack Rero ne Draaooss. —Gov. Geary, the United States army, and the Missouri militia have succeeded at length, it ap- pears, in establishing “order in Warsaw ter a fashion, by the aw and order expedi military expulsion of the free State settlers and emigrants. Everything on behalf of Kan- sas as a slave State works boautifal- ly. The free State colonists have been. toa great extent, destroyed, or driven out, or burnt out, or robbed or starved out; and under the benign dispensation of Mr. Pierce, his man Geary, his Missouri code, hia @ragoons and the border ite of a volunteers, another Missouri pro-slavery Legis- lature has been elected, with Gen. Whitfield returned as their delegate to Congress. The next step will be a State Convention, and a State Convention for Kansas framed by Missouri delegates under the protection of the United States troops; and the next, a bill by the next Congress for the admission into the Union of Kansas as a slave State by force of arms. The whole issue for the fourth of November now turns upon the man who is to sign or veto the bill, All the rest is settled—fixed as fate. Coleone! Fremont and His Religious Bellet. During the exciting Presidential contest whieh is now shortly to be brought to a close, a series ef the most disgraceful attacks have been made upon Colonel Fremont, in relation te a matter which should not enter into the canvass, namely, his religious belief. These personal attacks have originated at the North, where the opponents of Colonel Fremont found that the broad constitu- tional ground upon which he stood was not to be contested by fair and square argument upon the questions at issue. His position was a perfect Malakoff, and resisted all the ordinary weapons used in political warfare. It was necessary, then, to use extraordinary meaus to prejudice the pub- lic mind against him ; therefore his personal his- tory. antecedents and religion were assailed with a degree of indecent malignity hitherto unprece- dented in any Presidential contest since the for- mation of the republic. Of late the calumniators of Colonel Fremont have settled themselves to a tremendous on- slaugbt upon his character asa Christian, and the ar church with which he is said to held communion. He has been edly charged by the lowest, mean- dirtiest of the Fillmore organs with being a devout adberen t to the canons, sacraments, tenets and form of worship of the Roman Catho- lic Church. To give additional weight to this charge, a most extraordinary combination has been tormed between the conductors of the Fill- more organ, who affect to be pure Protestauts, and the osteusible editor of the organ of the Roman Catholic Archbisbop of New York, with the hierarch himself at the back to cheer on his dog, at the same time affecting to disapprove of his conduct. The fabrications of these men have been utterly disproved time and again. No sooner have their lies gained currency than they have been branded impudent falsehoods by Fremont. The people are fally informed as to the facts of the matter ; under such circumstances, ordinary liars would seek to hide their shame from the world. Not so with those liars of the first magnitade who lead the crusade against Fremont. They vow demand that be shall personally appear be- fore the people and reply to their imper- tinent questions /atim—that he shall say whether or not he ever read the Lives of the Saints, and whether he believes them: or whether he ever attended a Roman Catholic church in California, or had in- cense burned when he was ill, or carved a cross in 4 mountain pass, or was married by a Catho- lic priest, or received absolution ; and further, whether or not he believes in the seven sacra- ments, the seven capital sins, the true cross, the holy coat of Treves, the winking Madonna, eiec- tion, transubstantiation, the real presence, abso- lution, auricular confession and the immaculate conception, all matters of some interest in the religious world, but having uo more to do with this Presidential contest than we with the local politics of Timbuctoo. Yet all this is demanded by a portion of the cllowers of Mr. Fillmore, combined —and a most remarkable copartnership it is-—with the editor of the Freemen’s Journal, backed by the highest dignitary of the Roman Catholic Church in this part of the country. The Fillmore organ pub- lishes the lies: the Archbishop's tool writes let- ters all over the country endorsing them, while the Archbishop himself writes a note mildly dis- approving of his agent’s course, which note is carefally buried in one corner of leepy Wall street blanket, while the original charge is disseminated on the wings of the press in al! parts of the country where it will be liable st influence.

The personal attacks upon Col. Fremont are impudent and ungentlemaniy to the last degree. Their originators deserve to be kicked out of decent society, if by any extraordinary acgident they should ever get into it. relig The Report of the French Treasury—Finan- ial Affairs in Europe. We doubt if, among all the disgraceful docu- ments which have seen the light under the impe- rial r gime in France, a single one can be found £0 utterly shameless and indicative of such deep debasement as the report just put forth by M. Magne, who is at the head of the French Trea- sury, Ata time when France is notoriously on the eve of a convulsion which may be fatal— when the deficit in thenational budget is becoming every year more insurmountable, and the condi- tion of private credit is alarming every one who has dealings, direct or indirect, with the French mercantile community—this public functionary has the impudence to come before the world— not with an apology—but with a glorification of the siate of the empire, and a bundle of fulsome compliments to the Emperor, “from whom these blessings flow.’ The annals of the Roman em- pire under the later Cwsars may be searched in vain for a parallel. Monsieur Magne actually ignores what all the rest of the world is talking about—the condition of the Bank of France, and the immense opecu- ative corporations which have grown up under the chadow of their prototype, the Credit Mobi- lier; and exhausts himself in talking about the clipping of gold and silver coin, and the famine, and the cholera. As a London cotempo- rary remarks, such @ report, seriously put forth, “ supposes extraordinary ignorance and folly in the French public.” Surely M. Magne does not desire us to believe that the cholera, or the famine, or the sweated coins are the cause of the run upon the Bank of France; that they led to so unparalleled a demand for money that the Joss suffered by the bank in one month on gold imported from Eagland to supply her more imperative requirements, was not less than $125,000 ; that they account for a rate of six per cent interest both in London and Paris, and, under that rate, for a demand for accommo- dation from one institution equal to two millions per day. These facts, to which M. Magne, it is true, does not make the most distant allusion, cannot be explained by any secondary causes or local influences or figures of speech ; as for the causes which that official condescends to mention, they ave an insult to his readers, He argues that France is prosperous. Well, so far as trade and agriculture are concerned, there is no doubt some truth in this, It is quite likely that France never did so good a foreign business as she isnow doing; and barring the failure of the wine crop, now five years repeated, and some serious interference with the silk manufacture by the inundations, ber productive account, no doubt presents fair average onthe rightside. But what then? We can no more judge of the con- dition of France without taking the Bourse into account, than a doctor could give an opinion on a man’s health without examining his lungs. Paris is the Jungs of France; the rest of the national body may be sound enough: if they are rotten, the whole is in danger. And that Paris is rotten, there can be no manner of doubt. Asa well informed corres- pondent told us the other day, there is nota garcon linonadier in all Paris, there is hardly a vurverysoaid who has not stock in something; everybody's pockets are stuffed with stock, every- thing is bought, sold and exchanged for stock; everybody deals in stock, speculates in stock, thinks of nothing but stock. All this stock is so much fictitions wealth, created, ky imperial per- mission, by the knowing, and distributed through ‘he nation in exchange for commodities and es- pecially luxuries. At the time the movement be- gan, Napoleon wanted money and desired to see he Bourse buoyant; the establishment of these steck concerns achieved both aims: he set the hall rolling, and the forces of gravity and at- traction have kept it in motion. Now, the ques tion is—how can it be stopped? How can it be regulated? How can the Credit Mobilier be brought within paying limits? These were the questions which it devolved upon M. Magne to answer: that he bas done so, is pretty fair evidence that he at all events had no answer to give. The situation of Frarfhe is, in fact, as like that of ihe United States before 1837, as any two jtuations in different countries and at different times could well be. There is a discrepancy in the causes. The government here had no part in the disaster, and the people had themselves and the banR wholly to blame: there the whole re- sponsibility of the crisis rests upon the Emperor. But the features of the two eras are analogous, Here, the solution from the difficulty was found in the liquidation of the United States Bank, the enspension of the New York banks, anda pe- ri : suffering lasting from three to four years, and of course ving in cumerable mercantile disasters. There now seems to us, the natural issue of the trouble is in the utter refusal of the bank to carry the epeca- lators any longer. This would precipitate the dow of the Credit Mob of many of the railways, of a vast num! » schemes which have been stared ire pearly all those mere! themselves to be tempted tions of the Boury od of severe mercanti latiy and of allowed part in the t would not ne- ants who hav y rain the country hrow the go- vernment, The convulsi 7 killed Van Buren, mainly because the or his re-clec- tion occurred when th smarting under their sorrow has no such proximate danger to and besides, he has his soldic tection. It would have been franker and fairer for the French Chancellor of the Exchequer to have said plainly that the bank would cease to afford aid to the Bourse, than to have twaddled about “ the Eroperor’s heart,” and the “ sweated coins!” That would have given some 1 ance to the public at large, who are not yet quite settled in their minds as to the conrse to be pursued; and would certainly have raised the character of the Fuperor for wisdom and courage. freshly apoleoa nard against; * to look to for pro- Were ts Master MoMacren '—We are after this good man Friday of Erastus Brooks and Archbishop Hughes—this writer of filthy elec- tioneering private letters for private circulation against Fremont—this man, McMaster.

We want Naster McMaster to produce the groomeman of Fremont at bis marriage; we want him to pro- duce the sworn testimony of Mrs, Cammings, the lady who kept the boarding house in Washington, where Fremont was a boarder at the time of his marriage, and we want the Archbishop to acquit himeelf of the suspicion of collusion with Me- Master, or to assist his serving man to a decent defence of himeelf. Where is thie man McMas- ter? Cannot his next friend, Erastus Brooke, our Know Nothing rat candidate for Governor, bring him out?

Joux Van Boren ox THE Srump—He Maxes Bucwanan 4 Buack Rervsrican.—John Van Bu- ren, the other day, delivered himself of a long and labored speech at Watertown, Jefferson coun- ty, New York, which, if he had delivered incog. anywhere south of Mason and Dixon’s line, would have probably been the last of the Prince. The Southern demveracy, at home, in ignorance of the identity of the man, for the crime of such an impudent speech as this, would undoubtedly have beaten the Prince to death, torn him to pieces, or tarred and feathered him, and rode him out of town upon a rail, As John Van Buren, how- ever, the supporter of Buchanan, we daresay that the author of this speech might travel with it in his pocket from Washington to New Orleans; while as a stranger, if detected with this speech about him anywhere south of the Potomac, he would be certainly lynched as a Fremont spy, guilty of high treason, How the Prince would trim his sails if called upon to speak in Richmond, under the eye of Governor Wise and his posse comitatus, we may well divine; but in Jefferson county, New York. he pleads the plea of free soil, free Kansas and anti-slavery in behalf of Mr. Buchanan. He as- tonishes us with the wonderful information that the democracy at the last session of Congress ac- tually tried to repeal those odious Kansas laws, but that they could not do it on account of the majority of the republicans of the House being in favor of Pierce, Atchison, Forney, the Cincinnati platform and ihe border ruffians; and he would have us believe that next to William Lloyd Garrison there is no better abolitionist in the country than James Buchanan. But the best is yet tocome. John, the Prince, with a degree of maguanimity and coolness that is really re- freshing, assures us that he is not a candidate for any office, never was, and never will be. A chip of the old block—a patriot working purely for the good of the cause. Wehope that Mr. Botts, of Virginia, will calla public meeting in Rich- mond, without delay, get hold of this New York speech of John Van Buren and read it to Gov. Wise and Captain Scott. We call upon Mr. Botts, because we know of no other man thas would have the hardihood to attempt the dan- gerous task apy where south of Washington. Jobn, perhaps, has been afraid that it was too late to get this free soil Buchanan speech down South before the election; but he is just in time. Tuar Frevoxry Porn at Porrsmovrn, Va.— Opposite the city of Norfolk, in Virgina, lies the city of Portsmouth, where recently some mischievous Know Nothings erected a long pole, with the United States flag floating from the top, and the ticket of “Fremont and Dayton— the Union and the Constitution,” streaming to the breeze just below. The work was done in the dark, for such a thing would have been “open treason” in broad daylight. But the day- light came, and there was the outrageous white man’s ticket of Fremont and Dayton streaming high in the air over the town of Portsmouth, in the very hot-bed of the peculiar institution. The democracy of the bailiwick were at first para- lyzed—they could hardly believe their eyes; but they rubbed them and looked again; and then, if Bully Brooks had been there they were ready to follow him to Washington, rob the treasury, and proclaim a Southern confederacy. Never was there such indignation, such a fear- ful excitement, such a tempest in such a teapot— never such a spirit of wrath, mortification and tomfoolery anywhere among the astonished Vir- ginia democracy. ‘They had mectings——they passed resolutions of indignation—the City Coun- cils were called together, and they also passed resolutions; and the result of all these meetings and resolutions was that the Fremont pole was cut down and the Fremont inscription attached was ignominously destroyed. There never was such a time. A democratic glorification over the Pennsylvania election was turned into an indig- nation meeting against that innocent pole and its patriotic decorations; and resolutions of congra- tulation with Col. Forney were superseded by resolutions of wrath and lamentation against that pole, Mr. Botts scriously believes that Gov. Wire is. monomaniac, really and truly a little cracked, little bit erazy on niggers, going off into violent fits at the sight of them; and one would think from the fire and fury, the wrath and cabbage of the fierce democracy of Portsmouth over that pole, that they were all going crazy together-the Governor, bis disciples, his party, his subjects and bis niggers, Tur Moyonavty—Mr. Linny avn ms Demo- crave ‘The outside democratic movement in behalf of Mr. Libby for Mayor, and of whieh our District Attorney—Mr. McKeon--is the leader, is at best but a factions game for the spoils of the federal government.

Ie has dont Mr. Libby as the medium for a new ion of the party, and be expects, perhays, with the aid of outside reinforcements, to prove that bis faction kave « claim of their own to the federal plunder. Mr. MeKeon has, however, strangely forgotten the fact that Mayor Wood is the regular democratic nominee, and the candi- date of Mr. Buchanan; and that this Libby move- meng can only operate to distract, disorganize and divide the party in his support. We merely put these considerations into the pipe of Mr. McKeon as a party man. We are in favor of the re-election of Mayor Wood, because with him we are assured of a pretty independent administra- tion of the duties of his office, and because we fear that in any change which may be made there will only be an opening effected, to « greater or less extent, for that hungry horde of bloodsuckers upon the city treasury which he has contrived to keep at bay. Under a gencral impression of this sort, we suspect, too, that Mayor Wood will be re-elected. We shall see, SPOTL SMEN, City Intelligence.

The government is ‘violating its contract with every one who enlists in the Raval service, by refusing to discharge them at the expi- ration of their respective terms of enlistment. Such is Bow the condition of most of the seamen on American yes- tels at forcign stations. The excuse given by the depart- ment for refusing to discharge them is that men cannot ‘be procured for the relief ships.

GEARY—CONDI- TION OF THE COUNTRY, ETC, Wasmixcron, Oct, 27, 1856. Among the official despatches received to-day from CGevernor Geary, of Kansas, is one dated Lecompton, Oct. 15, in which he details the circumstances attending the arrest of an organived band, consisting of about two bundred and forty persons, among whom were very few women and children. This party was regularly formed in military order, under command of General Pomroy, Colonels Eldriage and erry, and others. They had with them twenty wagons in which were a suppy of new arms, moatly musket, with bayonets and sabres, and a lot of saddles, &c,, suilicient to equip a battalion, consisting of one-fourth of cavalry and the remainder of {pfantry, Be- sides these arme, which Geary says were evident!y in- tended for military purposes, and which were in the wa- gong, aeearch of which was strongly objected to, the emigrants were previded with shot guns, rifles, pistols, kaives, Xc., sufficient for the ordinary parposes of per- sons travelling in Kansas or any otber of the Western Territories. From the reports of the officers, it appears they had with them neither oxen, mechaniss’ tools, agri- cultural implements, nor any of the necessary appurte- nances of peacet.) settlers. They were permitted to pur- aue their journey under the escort of a squadron of dra- goons, baving been furvished with a day’s rations, and subseuent!y Ceary, according to promise, met them near Copeka. They apoligized for their evident and undeniable disregard of Geary’s proclamation, which apology, though plausible, was far from being satisfactory. Afier wel- coming them as peaceful emigrants, and assuring them he would posit'vely enforce bis proclamation, and suffer no party of men to enter or travel through the Territory with warlike or hostile appearance, to the terror of peaceful citizens, and the danger of renewing the dis graceful and alarming ecenes through which the {nhavi- tants bed so recently passed, Geary insisted upon the immediate disbandment of the combination, which was agreed to with alacrity. The majority of the men were evidently gratified to learn that they had been deceived ia relation to Kansas affaires, and that peace and quiet, instead of strife and detention, were reigning there, His remarks were received with frequent demonstrations of approbation, and at their close the or- ganization was broken up, and its members dispersed in various directions. After they had beea dismissed from custody, and the fact announced by Major ley, their thankfulners for his kind treatment towards them during the time he held them under arrest was expressed by giving him toree bearty cheers. In conclusion Geary expresees bis regret that societios exist in some States whose object it !6 to fit out such par- ties as the one jnst described and send them to Kansas, to their own jojury aad the destruction of the geveral wel- fare of the country. He says.—‘‘Very many porsons ai induced to come out here, under flattering prom’ which are never fuiflied, and hi ig oeither moray to purchase food and clothing, nor tirade or occupation at which to carn an honest livelinosd, are driven to the ne- cesaity of becoming either pavpore or thieves. and such are the unfortunate men who have aided materially in Giling up the mesure of the crimes thet have so seriously affected the prosperity of Kansas, I) is high time that thia fact should be clearly aad generally vader stood, This Territory, at the present season of the year— aud especially under existing circumetances—oifers no inducement for the immigration of the poor tradcaman or inborer. Tue country is over rou with hundreds who are unable to olin ewploymert, who live upon charity and who are exposed to privation, dertitution and want. Among the docu ments is a report of the immigrants to Geary, complaining of rough treatment they received from troops acting, as they understood, uncer the orders of Preston, the Depaty United States Marshal, declaring their mission to Kinsas peacefol; baying 20 organivation save one of police, for their own) egviation aad defence on the way, and coming im that spirit to the Territory they claimed the right of American citizens to bear arms, and be exempt from unlawful search or seizare. Captain Sibley, who had them in charge, says that they never for o30 moment were made to feel the resiraint of military discipline, bot were, on the contrary, relieved from tho onerous daty and necessity of nightly guards, and were assisted rather than retarded in their journey. The Cap- tain, agrecally to Geary’s instrac ‘ions, restored suc’ of the arms as were claimed as individual preperty.
