Mr. DoMJla* spoke upon hi* resolution calling for information et*ceriiitig Kan«as. His remark* were principally directed to the fraud* which every day bring* to light raid to the extraordinary oourae of Gen. Cnihoun. Mr. Douglas's speech wa* suddenly cut short at 1 o'clock by the announcement of V'ice- Preaident Breckenridge that the hour for taking up tbe apecial crder (tbe Kansas bill) had arrived. Mr. fjollaaer concluded the speech which he com¬ menced on Monday. Mr. Puch gave notice of an amendment to Mr. Green's riub«titute, to the effect that tbe j»eopie may alter or abol.sh their form of government, a-* they may think proper. Mr. Bewarf obtained the floor, aud thy Senate ad¬ journed. In the HOCSE, the discussion upon the bill regulating the pay and the number of its employees wa* continued. Tbe motion to reconsider the vote referring to the Committee of the Whole the Senate bill, authorizing the President to reinstate naval officers affeet«d by tbe action of the Court of Inquiry, was taken up, and elicited an interring debate, pending which the House adjourned. The history of our struggle of Free Labor against the Slave power has many points of similarity with that of n great nation's resistance to a formidable invader.that ofRoasia auainst Napoleon, for ex¬ ample. In the earlier stages of the conflict, the defending armie* are aeen falling back from one position after another, which are immediately occu¬ pied by their triumphantly advancing adversaries, until tbe whol" country seems lihelv to be aban¬ doned and ovenun. But tlm defenders, though re¬ treating, are eoustaufly, though silently, gathering up their garrisons and receiving reinforcement-: they are actually strengthened by their losses of position*, while their opponent* are weakened by the necessity of occupying or covering them; until ht length the order of movement is reversed; the invaccrs are palpably ontiiumborf d and forced to recoil, while those who have so long and wearily retreated become in turn the assailant*. Henoe- foitb, the issue of the Contest is certain, and its eui rapidly attaiued. The strugg'e with the Slave Power ha* reached its turning-point. Kansas is its Borodino, Lecomp ton its Moscow. Whether it shall be allowed to triumph ia fastening its detested imposture me met-taii') ou a gallant, protesting people or not will make little difference. It ia ooulJ to be driven ignominious]/ from the soil it has polluted, the territory it has ravaged; aud its expulsion from Kansas is likely to prove the knell of it* sway over the Union, There will still be collisions, conflicts, mutations of fortune; but the hour which §ees Slavery legally and undeniably expelled from Kan- aas marks the liu.it of its practical ascendency. It will stnitgie henceforth for Misuouri, for Maryland, for Kentucky, for Virginia; no longer for. fresh ani.cvat ons.for the extension and consolidation of its power. It is true that we who btre been engaged la this struggle for longer or shorter periods in the past, can retard or hasten tbe final consummation we desire, by welcoming or repelling those whom the march of events bas at last brought into practical nccord with u*. We can, by magnifying differ- cnct* which Tune has virtually effaced, by pro¬ pounding Äibboleths which have lost nil practical significance, by interposing Pharisaic pretensions and high-caste exclusions, postpone the auspicious day wherein the mtonetl und instinct* of Free Labor shall bear sway in tbe \Yhite House and the Capitol; but there is no need of this, and mate but narrow and selfish reasons for insisting ou it. On the contrary, it seems to us the plain duty of Republicans to regard and treat as brothers all who etand with ua in opposition to tbe Lecompton fraud.to invite them to OUI councils and our con¬ fidence, while cheerfully assenting to their prose- eutioa Of their share in the common enterprise under tbeir own banners and in their own fashion .to act freely and faithfully iu accordance with our own convictions, and accord to them the utmost liberty in doing T.kewise. The Leeompton fraud is a crime against Liberty, against Humanity, against the fundamental priuci- ples consecrated b> the blood and sufferings of our fathers in the American Revolution. But it is. moreover, an c*pre«* violation of the principles prcfeised in the platforms established by each patty in the last Presidential contest. The Republicans, in that c u'M. struggled against the violiat.on of the M -.. ;. compact in rerpect to Kansas, aud the outrages, frauds and terrorism whereby ."Slavery had obtained a foot¬ hold aud seeming legalization therviu. Of those outiagcs. those fraud*, the Lecompton Constitu¬ tion is the logical culmination. 2 he Democrats.all of them ostensibly, many of them honestly, a* their present attitude proclaims. contend* d for the right of the People of Ksusas, and ot all Territories, to frame and establish such domestic institutions as they should judge best adapted to their situation and their needs. This fundamental reqi irement of the Cincinnati Platf-rm ia denied to the People of Kansas bj ts»Le«oaptoa CotstitutioD.

They vtill tht rc be r-ure to find theinsel.es in etcellent and abusJaut company._ Our last Legislature undertook to pass a Liquor- Liceriae law which should steer nicely between the extremes of letting every one who chooses make drunkards and prohibiting the Liqnor Traffic altogether. We bad no faith in the principle of L'ifoc, and hence did not anticipate good results from it* opprati"U. But we were willing to see the License experiment fairly tried, and so inter¬ posal d no objectio*J to the p.tssage of tbe act of \*7. We were mainly anxious that the bill should be so drawn and perfected that ti c advocates of Li¬ cense should regard it as a fair embodiment of their favorite policy. And we see BO reason w hy this bill should not Lave been a good one. It waa drnwii by an experienced legislator and earnest champion of regulated Liquor-selling j it was no¬ wise amended in such uumner as to impair its cTioioncy or impede its operation. Vet it has been in existence for the better part of a year, and its friends are foremost in proclaiming it an unquali¬ fied failure.n miserable abortion. Thf Jonmal of L fWVKrtt thus pronounces its condemnation: " The Exeiae Coawdaaibaera iM*s*n>.

It is a fad. obvious to everybody, that the amount ut'drunk- enne-s has n«d been aensibly diminished in this city by the tiH-ratioB of tbe Pixeise law, and tbe Sguree wow that the city has derived only n little more than one tliird of the revenue whn n vra- taken in a formet year aadertbe $10 tieeaoe law. The roeoipti IVir three yean were: [nl8&0, $39,980; 1951, $15,530 |S.v.', BöfifOO.

It is to keep the ¦nlifrsand rum-sellers in countenance and screen them frcm prosecution. If any should b- "Bed or indicted BOW, they would naturally Bay, " He Board has ant yet done liceusing.we are "considering th-- propriety of applying tathetn." Fiom first to la*t. the game of this Board has b.-»c to earn the gratitude, and probably the gratuities also, of the Bum Interest, by screening the illegal trafle. In doing this, they have shamefully de- cej-fd and wronged those who, in obedience to the law, made early application aud paid the required licetae. They have so managed matters thst. should the same Board l»e retained another year, there will probably be ten thousand !aw.defy:ng sellers and not one hundred applicants for license. But we trust our eminent Judges who appointed this Heard w ii! take care that a different s<'t of m-'o shall officiate as licensers nevt year. .Will the friends of License propose to the I.egic'ature such amendments to the cvsting law as fire calculated, in their judgment, to render it effective' Let us have the best tha' ena he done w;th Lcense. preliminary to a different eipen- ment. [0 one way or another, the frightful devas¬ tation which the Liquor Tratte is now making m ist lw arrested. The investigation into the purchsse of Willet's Point for a fortification, to which we called the at- tentiofl of Congroaa and the public, is now going forwaid at Washington. It appears that the See- retaty of War and one of the Captain* of the Ku¬ gln» er Corps La\e been examined; that the Speak¬ er's subpena has heen sened on several witnesses in this city. It would appesr that the matter is to be prolnd to the bottom. We say appear because everybody knows that racl nve-tigation* are often n.ere wbitew ashing pTOOOSSCB, used to c.ver up in¬ stead of revealing fraud. Mr. Haskin, of this State, the Chairman of the Committee of the House of K< presentatives, is under a grave responsibility, and we hope to ha.e from him a searching inquiry, in spite of the efforts made to warp his judgment. It w ill require a good deal of resolution to withstand the influences that will be drought to bear upon him. It is rumored that Mr. Collector ScbeU's list of removals and appointments, which was lately sub¬ mitted to the Treasury Department, has not been Continued. Strenuous opposition is made to the proponed changes, and among other objections raised by the Collector s opponents, one is power¬ fully urged, namely, that while the Collector re¬ moves the friends of Mr. Sicklea, whe votes to sustain the President, be retains in office tbe friends of Haskin, who openly denounce* the Le- cotiiptoii fraud. This is thought, and not without reason, to indicate that Mr. Schell is trying to se- duce and conciliate the Chairman of the Investi- cating Committee, before whom he and hie brother, the Hon. Richard SobelL, Senator of New-York, aie now on their trial. This is only one 01 the means which will be employed to smother and pervert tbe inreatigatioo. We trust they will all be employed in vain. 1 ha Messrs. Schell owe it to themselves to have the transactions at Fort Shelling and at Willet's Point fully examined. Any attempt to suppress or di.gmae the facts will only increase the suspicions already excited against them. They hold promi¬ nent official positions, and they should satisfy the public mind that everything connected with the purahate or sale of property in which the Federal GovermDOnt has been a party, and they hare made money, has been perfectly correct. Aud while they are thus engaged in clearing themselves, there are One or two other questions on which a little light would he satisfactory. In the first place, has Mr. C ollector Schell not been antious of late to learn tbe value of land in the vicinity of VYiilet'i Point' and has he or has he not made inquiries Dfl that subject of any person living in that neighbor¬ hood ' and did he or did he not offer such person a situation in the Custom-House, as a laborer or oth¬ erwise! And, in the secoud place, is it true that while some men have been remove.I frona the Cus¬ tom-House without cause, one has be ruined, and 1 .en promoted, although his misc in one of*The public stores had been reported |»j )eputy Collector as a cause for removal' If thus is so. will Mr. Collector S'hell let the public knmv why the man has not been removed' >r why he ins b<en promoted I Too many eyes are leveled at public men for them to escape obsetvatioa. The attempt of the Presi¬ dent to corrupt members of Congress by official largesses has sroused the country. Fn m the high¬ est to the lowest, the officers of Government are ¦object to a sleepless surveillance. From this scru- tiny even Collectors and State Senator* cannot be suffered to escape. An extraordinary degree of sensibility is mani¬ fested by the leading organs of the Administration over the accident which recently befel the Army bill in the Senate. The defeat of the bill we are solemnly told is a malignant " conspiracy against .. the Government' and "a disunion movement of the most repulsive description." The disunion bugbear has h.tterto only been brought out t" serve the slaveholders and promote the spread of their favorite institution, But now it is ruthlessly dragged from it* depository to terrify u* oc a very Ca didii'D occasion. We submit that this is making u*e of a valuable adjunct in quite too miscellaneous a manner. We pray gentiemen will let tnode,t legislators vote on small matters without terrify ing them by 10 dreadful a scarecrow. The ue*t thing «e shall know, disunion will be threatened oa a motion for adjournment. And then whit is to become of us' The Border-Ruffian journal of the commercial circles in th:* city is ve^ prompt La ts response to that opposition to the increase of tbe Army which tsbaied on the idea of forcing th« tro>ps out of Kansas. It speaks as follows: . We should hape, for the credit of our coun'ry ai d ot the Senate, that the number of those who Jo act dtaire that the Mormon rebe. on ¦ aid ha suppressed, i- exceedingly small. That those who have sympa- U led with Jim Lane and his treasonable associate* ba Ken*«- should try to force th«* tloveratnent U ' withdraw tbe troops' fn m that Territory, so that tb»lr friend* bsby have full i»owcr to murd-r and j Ina l< t all who d.ff' r from them and to set the law 0! tl 1 lard at d< haic», v,e can readily believe.

We -v» here plainly enough tiao vi inm of th* preposition to incronse the Army. It is openly BT v* .1 that tee object of it is to make the '«rrusferi ra A7n*'> /eei tkat the I >i<*al nr»i (.>*e i«»0««.;7 owd" i''0*>2 fWaUefB to NOOl e*jd y»u«n*A hfws.'1 After this avowal we think we ou.;ht not to be compelled bo DTfi rerj warmly a steady and unan Bsjsji d-ii.ai on the part of the Bepu'duan* ¦ Cossjieoi of any increa»* in th.< Army whatever. If the bn«:ne-"i of quelling "traitors in Kansas." or elsewhere, is to be undertaken, we a*k for nothing more than fa.r play all around. Iu our judgment, the real traitors in the rsse sje the scamps who are undertaking to force the majority ti subuic to the B rity, and they who are backing them, whether in Kaiuas or New-York City. The greatest of traitors are tra.!ors to principle, traitors to truth, trai'ors to hone.-v. traiton to integrity; and if buiicts are to be tired and blood to be shed, we ask that ail "traitors" shall be served alike. If " Jim Lane " is to be shot, so must be Gerard Haileck and Henry QrtanaO and the "three hundred and ' thirty three others." We have Laad quite enough of this sort of talk about quelling traitors " by a hired soldiery. If The Journal of Commsrc*, or any other journal, is anxious for civil war, let it net be too co iiidcnt as to who will he re¬ garded as the "tfnitors" in the contest. They bad much better bo ready in auch an eveit to take thtir chance of being found anong the eiteuted as well as smon^ the oiecntionera. If th« y are anxious to hang, let them cons,der that they may also staud a most ei- eeilent cbarce of beirg banged, and let this moder¬ ate their ardor for aniu'ement in that line. For our own part we have an inward conviction that the majority in this country is bound to rule and not be ruled, either by minorities at home or Fed- era! power from abroad; and whenever the busi¬ ness of crushing majorities, whether ;n Kansas or eL-ewhere, is undertaken by the use >f powder and ba'i. on the ground of putting down "rebellion" or queuing "traitors." the gentlemen who under¬ take it will find they have got more than they bar¬ gained for. We are, however, entirely opposed to granting troops for the purpose ef having the ex* perment tried, not because we fear the result of the trial, but for reasons of a totally differeut character._^^^^ Mr. George Ashuiun of Mas*, is understood to have testified before the Investigating Committee that he received $4,000 of the money paid through Wa'.rott by Lawrence, stone «1 Co. to lobby agents, and (erbaps to others, to influence the action of the last Congress in favor of the Woolen manufacture. It is understood that Mr. Mot e has testified that he paid some $8,000 to Mr. David M. Stone of The Journal of Commerce for services in getting up sta¬ tistics, documents, Ac. iu favor of Free Wool. So we have a good beginning at Last, and we trust the who'.,, mystery is on the eve of being unraveled. To be sure, $ li,(W is but a small part of $-*7,000; but bereis an enterisig wedge; and a Freneh pro¬ verb say s, "It is the first step that costs." It is at Ies.*t certain.if the substance of Mr. Ashmun's affirmative testimony is correctly given above.that Woleott did rot put the whole $08,000 iutrusted to him into his ow n pocket, as has beea currently sur¬ mised. We believe Mr. Ifitteeon's testimony * distorted in the accouats current in Washington letteia. He did not contradict Mr. Stone point blank, but con Armed the testimony of* the latter ia many particu¬ lars. Re is understood to buve testified that he did call on Stone at the counting-room of the latter, to confer w it ii him OBJ the way * and means of effect¬ ing -ome alteration in the Tariff favorable to the Woolen interest; that Mr. Moue informed !iim that he was already at work in the cause.that he had ss'cured the active cooperation of The Jnurnol if i ommrrre. and that certain Know-Nothing lodges had likewise been induces! to pass resolves in tavor of such a charge as the Woolen nn-n de¬ sired. Hereupon Mr. M. pooh-poohed the above aa ridiculously inapt and inefficient, insisted that Thr Journal of t an<m>rrr was unread aud without nfluenee in the Bural Districts, and suggested the propriety of enlisting and stimulating the services of Tilt. TftUM BE and Th> / met. Mr. we believe ,t is agr-ed cu all hand*, did not act on this suggestion.probably because? he he w it wna unauthorized, aud any action in accordance with it would be repelled by those with B IB names Mr. Matteson had takea such unwar¬ rantable libert e*. Indeed, it would seem that Mr. Stone and those for whom he acted declined to have any dealing* with Matteson in any way, so that the otter can hardly turn up a recipient of any part of the fH7,000. But who did get the odd |75,000Of it 1 H< w much did Woleott pocket1 Did any go into the pockets of Members of Con¬ gress ? Let us have ali the facts. If nobody had any of the ca*h that shouldn't have had it, then nobody can suffer harm from the fullest publicity. It is understood that the Fort Snelling and Ihrigg's Neck investigations are ixth going on proaperoualy and hopefully, and that the develop, menu m e.ther case wiJ be «taggering. The bet that The lUrabl has a letter or dispatch every other day asserting that there Is nothing in either case, warrants the belief th;»t ther» i* a good deal in each. A Foreign Mission is uot to be earned by sticking at trifles. r According to Mr. Senator GmCB, Um mere at¬ tempt to saddle the people of Kansas with the Le- COmptOfl Constitution has produced such a tem¬ pest of popular ind;gnaticn. ttat all the Federal i Been have been obliged to fly the Territory. He gives that a* explaiuL-g their presence ia Washing- t. a. (.en. Whitfield. he adds, has been driven from the Territory by threats of assassination, and he alleges himself to be La the receipt of letters 3ti4..;. the commission of uinrders from the same ciuse. If the bare suggestion of obliging the peo¬ ple of Kansas to submit to the fif fBBapfoa Consti¬ tution has produced such lamentable re*ults. what is reasenaliy to be anticipated from the attempt to carry that suggestion .nto effect f If Buchanan"* ofice-holders, with a Territorial Governor and two th Baand troops to back them, do not dare to re¬ main in the Territory, what could be eipected of Caabou'a officers with no troopa at all? We have heard of curirg the hite of a mad dog by ad¬ ministering a hair tf the same animal, but Mr Gr- ta'a proteased fa.th in the restoration of peaee to Kan*a» by mean* of the Leo. mpton Con*t.tc ti a beat* tint Una of practice all hollow.

buU to amend tbe act regulating the carriage of

His remark* were

principally directed to the fraud* which every daybring* to light raid to the extraordinary oourae ofGen. Cnihoun. Mr. Douglas's speech wa* suddenlycut short at 1 o'clock by the announcement of V'ice-Preaident Breckenridge that the hour for taking uptbe apecial crder (tbe Kansas bill) had arrived.Mr. fjollaaer concluded the speech which he com¬

menced on Monday. Mr. Puch gave notice of an

amendment to Mr. Green's riub«titute, to the effectthat tbe j»eopie may alter or abol.sh their form ofgovernment, a-* they may think proper. Mr.Bewarf obtained the floor, aud thy Senate ad¬

journed.In the HOCSE, the discussion upon the bill

regulating the pay and the number of its employeeswa* continued. Tbe motion to reconsider the votereferring to the Committee of the Whole theSenate bill, authorizing the President to reinstatenaval officers affeet«d by tbe action of the Courtof Inquiry, was taken up, and elicited an interringdebate, pending which the House adjourned.

The history of our struggle of Free Labor againstthe Slave power has many points of similarity withthat of n great nation's resistance to a formidableinvader.that ofRoasia auainst Napoleon, for ex¬

ample. In the earlier stages of the conflict, thedefending armie* are aeen falling back from one

position after another, which are immediately occu¬

pied by their triumphantly advancing adversaries,until tbe whol" country seems lihelv to be aban¬doned and ovenun. But tlm defenders, though re¬

treating, are eoustaufly, though silently, gatheringup their garrisons and receiving reinforcement-:they are actually strengthened by their losses ofposition*, while their opponent* are weakened bythe necessity of occupying or covering them; untilht length the order of movement is reversed; theinvaccrs are palpably ontiiumborf d and forced torecoil, while those who have so long and wearilyretreated become in turn the assailant*. Henoe-foitb, the issue of the Contest is certain, and itseui rapidly attaiued.The strugg'e with the Slave Power ha* reached

its turning-point. Kansas is its Borodino, Lecompton its Moscow. Whether it shall be allowed to

triumph ia fastening its detested imposture memet-taii') ou a gallant, protesting people or notwill make little difference. It ia ooulJ to bedriven ignominious]/ from the soil it has polluted,the territory it has ravaged; aud its expulsion fromKansas is likely to prove the knell of it* sway over

the Union, There will still be collisions, conflicts,mutations of fortune; but the hour which §ees

Slavery legally and undeniably expelled from Kan-aas marks the liu.it of its practical ascendency. Itwill stnitgie henceforth for Misuouri, for Maryland,for Kentucky, for Virginia; no longer for. freshani.cvat ons.for the extension and consolidation ofits power.

It is true that we who btre been engaged la thisstruggle for longer or shorter periods in the past,can retard or hasten tbe final consummation we

desire, by welcoming or repelling those whom themarch of events bas at last brought into practicalnccord with u*. We can, by magnifying differ-cnct* which Tune has virtually effaced, by pro¬pounding Äibboleths which have lost nil practicalsignificance, by interposing Pharisaic pretensionsand high-caste exclusions, postpone the auspiciousday wherein the mtonetl und instinct* of FreeLabor shall bear sway in tbe \Yhite House and theCapitol; but there is no need of this, and mate butnarrow and selfish reasons for insisting ou it.On the contrary, it seems to us the plain duty of

Republicans to regard and treat as brothers allwho etand with ua in opposition to tbe Lecomptonfraud.to invite them to OUI councils and our con¬

fidence, while cheerfully assenting to their prose-eutioa Of their share in the common enterpriseunder tbeir own banners and in their own fashion.to act freely and faithfully iu accordance withour own convictions, and accord to them the utmostliberty in doing T.kewise.The Leeompton fraud is a crime against Liberty,

against Humanity, against the fundamental priuci-ples consecrated b> the blood and sufferings of our

fathers in the American Revolution. But it is.moreover, an c*pre«* violation of the principlesprcfeised in the platforms established by each pattyin the last Presidential contest.The Republicans, in that c u'M. struggled

against the violiat.on of the M -.. ;. compact in

rerpect to Kansas, aud the outrages, frauds andterrorism whereby ."Slavery had obtained a foot¬hold aud seeming legalization therviu. Of thoseoutiagcs. those fraud*, the Lecompton Constitu¬tion is the logical culmination.2 he Democrats.all of them ostensibly, many of

them honestly, a* their present attitude proclaims.contend* d for the right of the People of Ksusas,and ot all Territories, to frame and establish suchdomestic institutions as they should judge bestadapted to their situation and their needs.

Liceriae law which should steer nicely between theextremes of letting every one who chooses makedrunkards and prohibiting the Liqnor Trafficaltogether. We bad no faith in the principle ofL'ifoc, and hence did not anticipate good resultsfrom it* opprati"U. But we were willing to see

the License experiment fairly tried, and so inter¬posal d no objectio*J to the p.tssage of tbe act of \*7.We were mainly anxious that the bill should be so

drawn and perfected that ti c advocates of Li¬cense should regard it as a fair embodiment oftheir favorite policy. And we see BO reason w hythis bill should not Lave been a good one. It waadrnwii by an experienced legislator and earnestchampion of regulated Liquor-selling j it was no¬

wise amended in such uumner as to impair itscTioioncy or impede its operation. Vet it has beenin existence for the better part of a year, and itsfriends are foremost in proclaiming it an unquali¬fied failure.n miserable abortion.

The investigation into the purchsse of Willet'sPoint for a fortification, to which we called the at-

tentiofl of Congroaa and the public, is now goingforwaid at Washington. It appears that the See-retaty of War and one of the Captain* of the Ku¬gln» er Corps La\e been examined; that the Speak¬er's subpena has heen sened on several witnessesin this city. It would appesr that the matter is to

be prolnd to the bottom. We say appear becauseeverybody knows that racl nve-tigation* are oftenn.ere wbitew ashing pTOOOSSCB, used to c.ver up in¬stead of revealing fraud. Mr. Haskin, of thisState, the Chairman of the Committee of the Houseof K< presentatives, is under a grave responsibility,and we hope to ha.e from him a searching inquiry,in spite of the efforts made to warp his judgment. Itw ill require a good deal of resolution to withstandthe influences that will be drought to bear upon him.It is rumored that Mr. Collector ScbeU's list ofremovals and appointments, which was lately sub¬mitted to the Treasury Department, has not beenContinued. Strenuous opposition is made to theproponed changes, and among other objectionsraised by the Collector s opponents, one is power¬fully urged, namely, that while the Collector re¬

moves the friends of Mr. Sicklea, whe votes tosustain the President, be retains in office tbefriends of Haskin, who openly denounce* the Le-cotiiptoii fraud. This is thought, and not withoutreason, to indicate that Mr. Schell is trying to se-

duce and conciliate the Chairman of the Investi-cating Committee, before whom he and hie brother,the Hon. Richard SobelL, Senator of New-York,aie now on their trial. This is only one 01 themeans which will be employed to smother andpervert tbe inreatigatioo. We trust they will allbe employed in vain.

1 ha Messrs. Schell owe it to themselves to havethe transactions at Fort Shelling and at Willet'sPoint fully examined. Any attempt to suppress or

di.gmae the facts will only increase the suspicionsalready excited against them. They hold promi¬nent official positions, and they should satisfy thepublic mind that everything connected with thepurahate or sale of property in which the FederalGovermDOnt has been a party, and they hare mademoney, has been perfectly correct. Aud whilethey are thus engaged in clearing themselves, thereare One or two other questions on which a littlelight would he satisfactory. In the first place, hasMr. C ollector Schell not been antious of late tolearn tbe value of land in the vicinity of VYiilet'iPoint' and has he or has he not made inquiries Dflthat subject of any person living in that neighbor¬hood ' and did he or did he not offer such person a

situation in the Custom-House, as a laborer or oth¬erwise! And, in the secoud place, is it true thatwhile some men have been remove.I frona the Cus¬tom-House without cause, one has be ruined,and 1 .en promoted, although his misc in one

of*The public stores had been reported |»j )eputyCollector as a cause for removal' If thus is so.

will Mr. Collector S'hell let the public knmv whythe man has not been removed' >r why he insb<en promoted IToo many eyes are leveled at public men for them

to escape obsetvatioa. The attempt of the Presi¬dent to corrupt members of Congress by officiallargesses has sroused the country. Fn m the high¬est to the lowest, the officers of Government are

¦object to a sleepless surveillance. From this scru-

tiny even Collectors and State Senator* cannot besuffered to escape.

An extraordinary degree of sensibility is mani¬

fested by the leading organs of the Administrationover the accident which recently befel the Armybill in the Senate. The defeat of the bill we are

solemnly told is a malignant " conspiracy against.. the Government' and "a disunion movement ofthe most repulsive description." The disunion

bugbear has h.tterto only been brought out t" serve

the slaveholders and promote the spread of theirfavorite institution, But now it is ruthlesslydragged from it* depository to terrify u* oc a veryCa didii'D occasion. We submit that this is makingu*e of a valuable adjunct in quite too miscellaneousa manner. We pray gentiemen will let tnode,tlegislators vote on small matters without terrify ingthem by 10 dreadful a scarecrow. The ue*t thing«e shall know, disunion will be threatened oa a

motion for adjournment. And then whit is tobecome of us'The Border-Ruffian journal of the commercial

circles in th:* city is ve^ prompt La ts responseto that opposition to the increase of tbe Armywhich tsbaied on the idea of forcing th« tro>psout of Kansas. It speaks as follows:

elsewhere, is to be undertaken, we a*k for nothingmore than fa.r play all around. Iu our judgment,the real traitors in the rsse sje the scamps who are

undertaking to force the majority ti subuic to theB rity, and they who are backing them, whether

in Kaiuas or New-York City. The greatest of

traitors are tra.!ors to principle, traitors to truth,trai'ors to hone.-v. traiton to integrity; and if

buiicts are to be tired and blood to be shed, we ask

that ail "traitors" shall be served alike. If " Jim

Lane "

is to be shot, so must be Gerard Haileckand Henry QrtanaO and the "three hundred and' thirty three others." We have Laad quite enoughof this sort of talk about quelling traitors

" bya hired soldiery. If The Journal of Commsrc*, or

any other journal, is anxious for civil war, let

it net be too co iiidcnt as to who will he re¬

oiecntionera. If th« y are anxious to hang, let

them cons,der that they may also staud a most ei-

eeilent cbarce of beirg banged, and let this moder¬ate their ardor for aniu'ement in that line. For

our own part we have an inward conviction thatthe majority in this country is bound to rule andnot be ruled, either by minorities at home or Fed-

era! power from abroad; and whenever the busi¬ness of crushing majorities, whether ;n Kansas or

eL-ewhere, is undertaken by the use >f powder and

ba'i. on the ground of putting down "rebellion"or queuing "traitors." the gentlemen who under¬

take it will find they have got more than they bar¬

gained for. We are, however, entirely opposed to

granting troops for the purpose ef having the ex*

perment tried, not because we fear the result ofthe trial, but for reasons of a totally differeut

character._^^^^Mr. George Ashuiun of Mas*, is understood to

have testified before the Investigating Committeethat he received $4,000 of the money paid throughWa'.rott by Lawrence, stone «1 Co. to lobby agents,and (erbaps to others, to influence the action of thelast Congress in favor of the Woolen manufacture.It is understood that Mr. Mot e has testified thathe paid some $8,000 to Mr. David M.

tistics, documents, Ac. iu favor of Free Wool.

It is atIes.*t certain.if the substance of Mr. Ashmun'saffirmative testimony is correctly given above.thatWoleott did rot put the whole $08,000 iutrusted tohim into his ow n pocket, as has beea currently sur¬

mised.We believe Mr. Ifitteeon's testimony * distorted

in the accouats current in Washington letteia. Hedid not contradict Mr. Stone point blank, but con

Armed the testimony of* the latter ia many particu¬lars. Re is understood to buve testified that hedid call on Stone at the counting-room of the latter,to confer w it ii him OBJ the way * and means of effect¬ing -ome alteration in the Tariff favorable to theWoolen interest; that Mr. Moue informed !iimthat he was already at work in the cause.that hehad ss'cured the active cooperation of The Jnurnolif i ommrrre. and that certain Know-Nothinglodges had likewise been induces! to pass resolvesin tavor of such a charge as the Woolen nn-n de¬sired. Hereupon Mr. M. pooh-poohed the aboveaa ridiculously inapt and inefficient, insisted thatThr Journal of t an<m>rrr was unread aud withoutnfluenee in the Bural Districts, and suggested the

propriety of enlisting and stimulating the servicesof Tilt. TftUM BE and Th> / met. Mr.we believe ,t is agr-ed cu all hand*, did not

act on this suggestion.probably because? hehe w it wna unauthorized, aud any action inaccordance with it would be repelled by those withB IB names Mr. Matteson had takea such unwar¬rantable libert e*. Indeed, it would seem that Mr.Stone and those for whom he acted declined tohave any dealing* with Matteson in any way, so thatthe otter can hardly turn up a recipient of anypart of the fH7,000. But who did get the odd|75,000Of it 1 H< w much did Woleott pocket1Did any go into the pockets of Members of Con¬gress ? Let us have ali the facts.

It is understood that the Fort Snelling andIhrigg's Neck investigations are ixth going on

According to Mr. Senator GmCB, Um mere at¬tempt to saddle the people of Kansas with the Le-COmptOfl Constitution has produced such a tem¬pest of popular ind;gnaticn. ttat all the Federali Been have been obliged to fly the Territory.
