The telegraphic returns from Tennessee give them another chance to throw the Presidential gie:tion imto the House of Representatives. Ac- eording to these returns that State, which voted against Polk in 1844 and for Scott in 1852, has a atzong leaning to Fillmore. If it has gone for him fhe result depends on California; and if that State has cast her four electoral votes for Fremont the House of Representatives must decide the question. With Tennessee for Fillmore the result stands as thisty years a resident of Tennessee, that all the re- ‘turns that he bad seen indicated that that State had given Fillmore a handsome majority. The steamship Fulton, from Havre and South- ampton 22d ult, arrived at this port yesterday. Her advices have been anticipated by the Canadian wt Quebec and Canada at Halifax, but we pub''sh elsewhere the letters of our correspondents at ihe principal European capitals, together witha nom- ber of extracts from our files, which detail the pro- gress of events in the Old World. Lewis Baker, who stands charged with the m ir- der of William Poole, at Stanwix Hall, in this ci-y, om the 9th of February, 1855, was ercorted to N ow- burg, Orange county, yesterday morning. The ac eused has been in confinement in the Tombs a\ont eighteen months, and notwithstanding his captivity Woks in remarkably good health. The trial of Baker, though set down for to morrow, is not likely to come on. Judge Brown will decline to hear it on the cround that it would interrupt other judicial business in which he is engaged. The trial will, therefore, in all probability, be fixed for the third Monday in this month, before Judge Emott, who presided in the case of the disputed Comptrollershtp between Messrs. Flagg and Giles. ‘The probate of the will of Henry Parish, deceased, was resumed in the Surrogate’s Court on Saturday. Abewt two millions of dollars are involved in the will. It was admitted to probate on the Slst of March, 1856. During the last years of Mr. Parish’s Me he was afflicted with a paralytic stroke, so that he moved with difficulty, and could not “distinetly articulate a single word.’ A number of codicils were made to his will auring this time, and they are eontested upon the plea of the decedent's incapacity, and of the undue infivence exercised over him by his wife, in whose favor the codicils were drawn. ‘The ablest counsellors in the city are employed in the case, which, with « few intermissions, has been before the Surrogate since the last of March, tue parties in it generally sitting every day from 10 A.M. to4 P.M. The documents and testimony in the cone already form a lecge printed book of 750 fages. Woete the end will be it is ditficalt to imagine. Everybody who knew Mr. Parish—from bis vody servant to his spiritual adviser—has teen called upon the witness stand. In another column wil! be found a résumé of the testimony ou Saturday.

The Surrogate on Saturday decided the legal points at issue, allowing the executor’s accounts, except a few items. According to the report of the City Inspector there were 358 deaths in the city during the past week, being a decrease of 43 as compared with the mortality of the week previous. Of diseases of the stomach, bowels, and other digestive organs, we no- tice a decrease of 40 fatal cases, and in consumption a falling off of 20 cases.

The Governor has transmitted the commission for the Judgeship of the Supreme Court, vacant by the resignation of Judge Whiting, to Judge Peabody, and it bas been filed in the office of the Connty Clerk. We understand that Judge Peabody was sworn in at Albany yesterday, and that he will take hia seat on the Supreme Conrt bench to-morrow morning. The city of Syracuse was devastated by # confia- gration yesterday. About one bundred buildings were consumed, including the Post Office, the bank ing house of the Bank of Selina, and the Telegraph office. The loss is estimated at more than 2 million of dollars. Brief particulars of the disaster are given under the telegraphic head. The sales of cotton yesterday embraced about 1,500 bales, closing with the turn of the market in favor of the buyer, the prices still being considered too high in this market to afford a margin for ship- pers. Flour was firmer and more active, with an advance in some cases on common grades of 5c. per barrel higher. There was no tows in down the Hudson river to-day or yesterday, hence the sales of grain were very limited. Low grades of wheat were dull and easier, while prime to choice qualities were unchanged. Sales of corn were also light at Tlic. for Southern yellow, while Western mixed was at 70c.a7lc. Prime North river rye sold at Sic. Pork was sold moderately at #20 per barrel for mess. Sugar and coffee were quiet and without change of moment in prices. The cargo of coffve offered at auction was mostly withdrawn, and the portion sold was rather common, and afforded no correct criterion of the state of the market. Flour freights to Liverpool were hig! with free engagements. Grain ranged from 81d. a 9d. in bulk and bage. The Programme of Jefferson Davis—A Warn- ing Voice to Mr. Buchanan. The article which we transfer to this paper from the editorial columns of the New Orleans Delta, (the confidential organ o Jefferson Davis,) foreshadows pretty broadly the game of the se- cession wing of the democracy with Mr. Bu- chanan’s administration. How is he to satisfy these people? What are they driving at? What are to be the consequences, should he fail to com- ply with their exactions? These are the questions which naturally suggest themselves from the pe- rusal of this bold and fearful secession manifesto. Goy. Wise accepts the election of Mr, Buchanan as a respite, or as an armistice of four years, be- tween the North and the South—but not so with Mr. Jefferson Davis, according to this edict of his exclusive organ. It says, “if the contest is like that between Ajax Telamon and his adversary— either you must throw me, or J must throw you— it had better be settled at once; and it compla- cently asks, “what clee is the contest between the North and the South?” Mr. Davis, however, though full of dark misgivings, accepts the Presi- dency of Mr. Buchanan as a choice between King Log and King Stork, agreeing that the inaugura- tion of King Log “is better than the régime of Fillmore—better than the tyranny of Fremont at. first sight:"" but still protesting that “if the South does not use it with the most vigorous spirit, it will bé worse than either,” What doee all this mean? “You must throw me, or I must throw you” seems to involve nothing more nor less than the subjugation of the North by the South, or vice versa. There isto be no respite ; but the South are to use Mr. Bucha- nan “with the most vigorous spirit,” or his re- spite “ will be worse than the tyranny of Fre- mont.’ What is the plain English of this dread- ful warning? What is it that Mr. Jefferson Da- vis is driving at? By recurring to the files of his peculiar organ of this late campaign, we are left in no doubt upon the subject. The foreign and domestic programme of Mr. Davis, to which we adverted the other day, is to be foreed upon Mr. Buchapan at all hazards. Under this pro- gramme he will be required to admit Kansas as quickly as possible az a slave State; to give aid and encouragement to General Walker in the conquest of the whole of Central America, aad its conversion to a slaveholding confederacy ; to aid him in any filibustering raid which he may make upon the island of Hayti or Jamaica, with the view to the re-establishment of slavery there; and to “ wrest the island of Cuba from Spain, if we have the power, in pursuance of the Ostend manifesto.” Rational men would say that this is a load which wonld break the back of the strongest royal elephant in Siam—common sense would declare that these abeurd demands are but the vaporings of a hot headed secessionist; and yet we fear, from the developements of the campaign, that this programme of Mr. Davis will be thrust under the nose of Mr. Buchanan as the price of the allegiance of the Southern democracy to his administration. Mr. Buchanan was neither the first nor the second choice of Mr. Davis; yet he must be obedient, or he will tn speedily punished. Mr. Davis and his secession faction accept the signature of Mr. Buchanan to the Ostend cirenlar as a part of his platform, aud hey will hold him to his bond; and so with re- gard to the Kanens policy, and the Nicaragua policy of Mr. Pierce, dovetailed into the intricate and ominous joinerwork of the Ciacianati Conven- ion. But what is the true policy of Mr. Buchanan? Clearly the policy of conciliation and compro- mise, and not the conquest of the North by the South, nor of the South by the North —not the policy of extending the aren of slavery by fire and sword in our own territories and in those of our next neighbors: nor yet the poliey of destroying the Southern balance of power in the Senate by the admission of more free States and the exclu- sion of any more slave States. His policy is simply that of good faith with foreign Powers, and good faith to the domestic compacts, checks and balances of the coostitution. With the ad- mission of Kansas asa free State, under a fair application of the doctrine of popular sovervign- ty, the North will he appeased; and with the a mission eotemporaneously, or as nearly at (he same time as convenient, of two «ditional slave States from Texas, the South will NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1856. - be secured a sclfsustaining balance of power in Congress against all chances of fature aggressions from the North upon Southern rights. The Kansas-Nebraska bill, if honestly applied, will, [we are assured, re- sult in the admission of Kansas as a free State; and the Southern offtet to this and to California is provided for in two additional slave States from Texas, according to the Texas compact of annexation. This is the policy of justice, of conciliation and compromise, while the programme of Mr. Davis is nothing but a programme of boundless contu- sion and endless war. We are happy to learn that Mr. Buchanan is inclining to the policy of eace and harmony. It is the path of honor and success, and the only way of safety from these fire-eating conspirators against the peace of the Union and the peace of the world Thus Mr. Davis has issued a warning voice to Mr. Buchanan, and so have we. The responsi- bility of the one course or the other is with the President elect. The Renomination of Fremont for 1860, Some of the old politicians are greatly dis- gusted with the spontaneous nomination of Fre- mont for 1860 by several of the clubs which have sustained him during the canvass just closed. Our cotemporary the Courier and Enquirer devotes 2 good dcal of space to demonstrating the folly ot keeping Col. Fremont’s name before the pub- lic, and quotes in support of this ‘view several passages from a speech made by the editor of that sheet at the Convention where be strove so manfully to procure the nomination of William H. Seward. The chief argument relied on is that if Col. Fremont is kept before the people, the friends of Mr. Seward, Mr. Chase and others will bring them forward also, and thus dissen- sions will arise, and “the great triumphant re- publican party will degenerate into a party of factions all hostile to each other.” This is nonsense. Col. Webb wants to get Fremont out of the way in order to bring for- ward Gov. Seward, who is his present idol. The “great triumphant republican party” will itsel! be nowhere, if it falls into the hands of the hack politicians, and is nursed and coddled by them for four years. The only chance of keeping it safe and strong is to wreathe it round the name of Col. Fremont, and leave it dormant until he calls it anew into existenee in 1960, As to cliques and hostile factions, the very way to provoke them is to leave the nomination in 1560 an open question. Then indeed shall we have the friends of McLean, and the friends of Banks, and the friends of Chase, and the friends of Seward isolating themselves into little clusters and cliques, all animated with the most deadly hostility to each other. Then indeed would it be reasonable Yo expect that instead of a homoge- neous whole, 1860 would find the republicans a collection of wrangling factions, whose squab- bles would be certain to disgust the people, and throw them into the arms of the democracy. Then indeed would the principle involved in the contest run risk of being altered to suit the exi- gencies of this or that ambitious politician, at the cost, as before, of the popular confidence. All the evils which the Courier end Enquirer anticipates as likely to flow from the renomination of Fre- front, are in fact almost certain to result from the contrary policy of leaving the nominationan open question. It has been urged that a nomination at such a distance of time from the contest ix likely to in- jure Colonel Fremont. We do not see this All the evil that could be invented and said of him has been already trumpeted through the land: he cannot be injured more than he has been. His good qualities, on the contrary: his force of will, his administrative ability, his modesty, his dis- cretion, his perfect self possession, are merits whose value requires time to be appreciated: he will rise higher and higher as people think over them. True, the intervening four years will be for bim a period of restraint; but that is a small matter. If he have not the discretion to avoid mistakes during this period, he will of course ruin himself; but it will be time enough then to think of another candidate. In our opinion, he is certain to grow in public favor and general esteem ; and we see no reason why anomination four years in advance should be more injurious to him than it was to Jackson and Harrison. ‘There is another advantage in putting him in the field at once. By this course we dispense with the services of those roguish bodies called nominating conventions—thase self-constituted despotic councils which arrogate to themselves a privilege exclusively vested in the people, and are always ready to sell the nomination to the highest bidder. We have always held that these nominating conventions were unconstitutional, scandalous and absurd. Nothing but the extra ordinary pressure brought to bear upon the Inct republican convention by an independent pre» « prevented the members bartering away the noni- nation to some old fogy like Judge McLean, or a hack politician like Seward. In this case, the democrats would probably have carried nearly as many States as Pierce did ; and Colonel Webb would have been driven to take up that rifle with which he menaced his enemies at Philadelphia. Nominating conventions have been the curse of our politics for many years They actually defeat and neutralize our democratic institutions, and create among us an oligarchy not.of men of birth or wealth or genius, but of old broken down unprincipled politicians, who care for no earthly thing bat the spoils. By the renomination of Col. Fremont, these worthies fiud their vocation gone—whence their howls and groans. If there were no other reason for re- nominating him but that it will emancipate us from the turaldom of conventions, we should say — Let it be done. Beewaxan’s Masorrrtes Over Frevont ty rue Sovru.—The Journal of Commerce is parading with a great flourish of trampets the majorities of Buchanan in the South over Fremont—60,000 in North Carolina, 30,000 in South Carolina, 55,000 in Georgia, and #0 on. But we can show our Wall street cotemporary a trick worth two of thie in the Northern majorities in this late election of Fremont over Mr. Pierce; for Mr. Pierce was as much a candidate in New York and Massachusetts in this campaign as was Fremont orth or South Carolina:— ri This,” in the language of our cotemporary, ‘is encouraging; for it shows that the nation is not yet wholly given up to sectionaliam and enicide.” Tor Pereate Menniac.— From the statements published in the London journals, it appears that this fine veseel has created somewhat of a sensa- tion emongst the old salts of the English ports. ‘They view her with pretty much the same interest “ions they might entertain; the test oaths, the with which an alligator may be supposed to re- gard its cub cutting its first teeth. The idea of Brother Jonathan giving them a lesson in naval construction and armament, must strike them as something quite incomprehensible. They no oubt feel their pride hurt by it, and would wil- Uingly shut their eyes to its merits, could they possibly do so. The concurrent testimony of all naval judges is, however, too strong even for the prejudices of the sailors, and the Merrimac and her Dahlgren ordnance will claim their just share of admiration*wherever she appears in Euro- pean ports, be The Policy of Mr. Buchanan on the Kansas ‘Queation. We yesterday published a despatch from Weshington giving the rumor that Mr. Buchanan is in favor of the admission of Kansas as a free te. Complicated indeed has been the issue on this subject during the recent Presidential cam- paign, Jt has been presented in every shape incidental to so serious a question, with all the ingenuity of sophistry on the one side, and all the natural indignation of outraged liberty on the other. The most incredulous, however, have been startled by the facts in the case, and the most phlegmatic have resisted the extension of slavery by fire and sword. The tremendous popular vote for Fremont, the mighty phalanx of States who have opposed the overthrow of con- stitutional principles in Kansas are indications enough of American sentiment upon this great question, Notwithstanding all the special pleading, the false issues, false constructions and false reason- ings which have been put forth to disguise the true state of the case, it now stands forth on its own merits, and as such it is to be and must be met. What Mr. Fillmore and his supporters dodge’, can no longer be evaded. It is specially before Mr. Buchanan and before the nation: Is Kansas to be a free or a slave State? There is no doubt that the pro-slavery men in the South will lose no time on their part to mature their plans A pro-sla- very State Convention will be called in Kansas, a pro-slavery constitution will be adopted, and at the first session of the next Congiess they will knock at its doors and ask ad- mission. The Missourians will take care to be on hand and in full force, at these preliminary movements, and the Southern States will make the Capito) resound with their demands. What will be Mr. Buchanan’s policy under this state of things? Under the compromises of the constitu- tion, under the force of its provisions, he may deem it safe, and wise. indeed, to maintain the equilibrium of the States in the general govern- ment, by an equilibrium of power in the Senate; and cannot this be carried out by the division of Texas into other States? To this course there can be no legal objections. It wasa foreseen and a foregone conclusion, from the very circum- stances which attended her coming into the Union. But the admission of Kansas is attended with great difficulties. The unfairness of the first attempts made by the organizations in Missouri, and other Southern States, to forestall the whole question; the fraudulent and violent means used to prevent the expression of the popular voice in the Territorial elections; the illegal choice and organization of the Territorial Legislature; the un- constitutional, unlawful, repulsive, and violent aws passed by it to prevent even the future ex- pression of public opinion; the disfranchisement of citizens settling in the Territory, for the opin- wrongs to jurors and officials elect, if they do not sanction all these outrages, have made an indelible impression upon the freemen of this country, and have damaged our institations all over the world. There isno doubt—there can be no dispute of the fact—that the bulk of the ona fide settlers in Kansas, men, women and chil- dren, are free State settlers, If fairly epumerat- ed, perhaps not less than nine-tenths of the bone fide voters of Kansas are or will be free State men. Notwithstanding this fact, they have been deprived of their constitutional rights by Missou- ri roffianism and the undue exercise of the mili- ary power of a reckless administration. There can be no peace with the introduction o* & new slave State by such processes as these, 1t will neither give security to the South nor allay the embittered spirit of the North. It will be an open and continual sore, to infect, rankle in and weaken the body politic. Jt would seem, there- fore, to be the policy of Mr. Buchanan to act in reference to the will of the actual settlers of Kan- tas, to ignore all coercive measures, all military forays and expeditions, and to supersede the policy of Pierce and Atchison by one of good faith in carrying out the popular principle of the Kansas and Nebraska bill. There is no question that on the adoption of a policy like this rests he final settlement of the matter, and that if it was adopted upon a fair expression of the actual opinions of the actual settlers in the Tenitory, it would result in a free State convention, a free State constitution, and the admission of Kansas as a free State. It is in this view of the subject thata symptom of an inde- pendent and conservative course which Mr. Bu- chanan is shaping out for himself, is furnished by the information given us by our deepatch from Washington, It leads us to imagine that his policy will be to favor the admission of Kansas as a free State, under the conviction that the de- velopements which have been made, of the will of the majority of the Lona fide settlers of the Ter- ritory, demand such a course of conduct. No doubt this will produce an intense excitement at the South; but nevertheless, when it shall be made to appear that ft is nothing more nor less than an application of the principle of the Kan- +sasand Nebraska act, the law abiding and the Union loving citizens of the United States, in the South as well as in the North, will acquiesce in the measure, and especially at the South, if new States are admitted from Texas, to preserve the political equilibrium of the United States Senate. Provrrs ov Lytxc.—The Hrpress, the other day, announced that its principles were not for sale. ‘This reminds one of Queen Charlotte, the wife George II]. who was so frightfully plain that people turned round to stare at her; in her old age she bonsted that whatever other faults she might have, she had at all events preserved her virtue without stain.

At three o’clock this morning the largest iire that has ever visited our city broke out in the First ward, and in the short space of three hours over twelve acres were burnt over and about one hundred buildings consumed. ‘The dire originated in the barn back of Grant’s Hotel, which had not been occupied for two or three years. It tmmediately communicated to Grant’s Hotel, occupied by Barney Grant, which was consumed. The loss on the building is estimated at $6,000. The store of Mr. Mc- Guire then caught fire and was soon burned down—loas $5,000, The lames then spread to the new an magnili- cent building owned by Messrs. Slatterly & Ford, aud soon it was in a mass of ruins. It was occupied by Lynch Brotherg, who had just got in an entire new stock of goode. The loss on the building will be about $10,000—insured for $4,000. the Lynches will lose about $10,000—insured for $3,000.

The match on Mouday was mile heats, best three in five, to wagons, and the stakes were $2,000.

To this Mr. Hall assented, and on the day of the trot Lantern appeared side and side with Don. Public opinion was strongly in favor of the black team, who showe'! a high rate of speed, and bets were freely offered at 100 to 60, that t! ld win, which was generally taken, Atter ie Pr was over, Mr. Hsli, the owner of Lantern, on the track that he was ready to match Don.
