Lower CALrroRsrA.-The New York Tri-
hume says:
aBy the news from Lower California we
learn that President Walkers flibustering ar
rangemcnts are mt an end On the l4th he
spiked and buried his guns and started for San
Tomas with one hundred and forty mon and
ono field piece. Five Of his party severely
wounded, and four sick, were left behind, who
probably would have been murdered but that
they werc taken aboard the Columbus and
brought 10 San Diego IL was reported that
Melendrez with force of three hundred men
would attack Walker on his march. So the
foundation Of that empire is indefinitely post
poned, and history has lost another myth or
hero. The best OF the joke is, that the filibus-
ters were conquered By the mere sterility Of
the territory and tho want Of food. For such
the Carey treaty provides: 30 we shall havo q
strong frontier; all that will be necessary will
be to get an enemy thero, and keep him there.

nearly unanimous vote. Bath, the home Of

In the Senate, to-day, many memorials were
presented, adverse to the Nebraska bill; grants
of lands were pettioned for, for various pur-
poses and the Deficiency bill was considered
and amended.
In the House, Mr.. Disney presented ma

relation to the bill granting lands for the ben

HE FURIFICATIoN OF THE fULPlT!-We
cannot but rejoice in the indications afforded
by a portion Of the public press of a settled
determination to reform the Christian pulpit
in this country: not that wo regard it as in q
very bad condition, but because we have heard
that there is no more efficient means Of CON-
verting the sinful than that Of securing their
services and their contributions in behalf Of
the institutions Of Christianity. The 1880
Christian ministers Of New England, who
signed late memorial, are to be sure regard.
ed at home as good and pious men in their
way; but they have faults that must be cor
rected, and they must therefore listen to whole
some acknowledgements as the following, for
instance, from the Washington Sentinel.
"These hedge parsons these Friar Tucks
who carry the Bible in one hand and quar-
ter-staff in the ether, who now pray with a
nasal twang and now declaim with dcmagogue
fury, deserve chastisement at the hands Of all
who value pure religion, and have regard for
the saoerdotal character"
If these parsons are not hereby improved
the rcproof Of those who value pure religion
and have regard for the sacerdotal character"
will have been ungratefully received, indeed
Acquiesce in Slavery, gentlemen, preve that it
is necessary part Of the religion Of the hum
bic Saviour, and so preserve the purity and the
dignity of the sacerdotal character!

The Buffalo DAILY Republic saws:

The speech Of Mr.. Hunt, Of Louisiana,
against the Nebraska BILL was eloquent and
able, and took tho highest ground, boldly de-
olaring the proposed repeal of the Missouri
Compromise dishonorable violation Of sol
cmn compact.
His views are as creditable to the Louisi-
ana Representative ~ they are true and just.
In presenting them, he but reflects the wishes of
his State, the popular branch of its Legislature
having, by an unanimous vote adopted resolu-
tions protesting against tho repeal of the Mis-
souri, Compromise, and against this untimely
and uncalled-for renewal Of tho Slavery agita-
ton. Other Southern States will doubtless
follow the example OF Louisiana, for it must be
obvious to them that the path Of safety is the
path OF honor, and that this proposed violation
Of plighted faith will destroy all confidence be-
tween the two sections Of the Confederacy,
leaving the institution of Slavery open to as
saults from every quarter"

" THE NEBRASKA BILL.--"Ion" says this
morning that this bill "has been influential
in breaking up old party lines, and drawing
them according to that sectional principle
which it Processes to oblterate; that it has
had the more important effect to suspend the
operation of the Fugitive Slave Law in the
North and West, and that it has induced the
Southern politicians for the first time, to claim
the Antilles, openly, AZ our Southern islands,
And he says further, that in "anothcr three
months, the bill will doubtless perform other
remarkable feats."
This is oil from friend and sympathizcr
with tho author and champions Of this bill
AN ADMoNITIoN Jewell, who was

for murder, wrote to friend, before his death,
as follows:

of July, 1852, and picture to yourself the hap

the promise to be back again in the course Of

Gov. SEYMOUR AND THE TEMPERANCE BILL
1t is stated that Gov. Seymour, Of New York,
keeps dark with respect to the Temperance
bill, and is expected to retain it the fall ten
days allowed him by the Constitution. He will
then probably return it signed, accompanied
by message. But oven should he veto it, the
friends of Temperance are confident of their
ability to pass it over his head by two-thirds
vote.

they know Thee not. Spare their lives, and
teach thom to glorify thy namo. Hasten them
10 their homes, where they may direct their
attention to good works and general usefulness
among their families and ncghbors. May the
people resolve to keep them there, and in future
elect men Of sound morals and temperate hab-
its, 20 that good may hereafter result from
Legislation. Save the good people Of the State
from the Disgrace which must follow, If the
Same crowd should again como hero to make

SLAVERY TO BE INTRODUCED INTO MIME
sorA--Thc Telegraph, Published at Burlington,
Iowa. points out ono consequence Of the pass
ing Of the Nebraska BILL to which, we be-
lieyc, the public attention has not yet been
called:
1.-THE western half Of Minnesota which lies
north OF this State, and west OF tho Mississip-
pi, forms part OF the old Louisiana Territory
in which Slavery was prohibited by tho Mis-
souri, Compromise. Should the Nebraska bill
become law, this western half Of Minnesota
Eill become slave territory, whilst the eastern
half will remain free under the Ordinance Of
1897 This will render division of the pres
ent Territory unavoidable; and il Congress
should be at loss for name for the new
sovereignty wo would respectfully suggest
that il lie christened after the soubriguet Of it's
distinguished sponsor, Little Giant"
