The EDITORIAL INVESTIGATION BY THE SENATE.
We have heard nothing further of the project
to send the Sergeant-at-arms to arrest several Of
the editors in this city and elsewhere, who pub
lished sundry treaties and other secret docu-
ments belonging to the Senate. Should the Sc
nate pass the resolution and require our pre-
sence at Washington, we shall certainly give
them all the information we can on the matter
in question, and possibly on few others. If
we know but little about the treaties, we know
good deal about the Scarlet letter, which is
quite as interesting as the other subjects of In
quiry; and we are ready to disclose it to the
Senate.

THE NEBRASKA MISUNDERSTANDING OF
THE NORTHERN ANTI-SIAvERY FANATICS, If
there were any doubt Of the desperation with
which our anti-slavery factions of the North
have entered upon the work of disunion, in con-
nection with this Nebraska agitation, that
doubt would be dispelled by reading the North
ern abolition and free soil journals of the pre-
sent time. Among Others the New York
Tribune is exhausting the Key - Uncle
Toms Cabin" in its choice selections concern
ing 'the enormities" of what it calls the "dark
and shameful system of Southern slavery"
The latest frebrand from this quarter is the
following, purporting to have been received in
handbill from Texas

q . u
New HAMPSHIRE, July 8, 1854.
To the Editor of Tie National Era.
10 triumpkci We have "crushed out " the
Administration power in the sold Granite
State" we hope, forever. No election Of United
States Senators this year. Our House Of Rep
resentatives has stood ike Gibraltar-frm as
our everlasting granite. After eleven unsuc-
cessful ballotings for United States Senators,
the whole subject has been indefinitely post
poned in the House. That ia, the question
goes back to the People-and terrible tribu-
nal that will be, for Doughfaces. HIBBARD
has been gloriously gibbetcd on the galIows
of public opinion. He needed just such q rebuke,
or rather such an execution, for we trust this
is the last Of him, politically. He thought
New HAMPSHIRE would stand anything But
he miscalculated. He didn't fully understand
our fierce Democracy" ian article somewhat
different from Pierce Democracy But he IN
derstands it now He expected TO be elected
United States Senator He left his seat at
Washington, came to Concord, closcted himself
here to "pull tie wires," and to browbeat and
seduce our Representatives. But neither has
appeals nor the scowls and money Of the Ad-
ministration ayaiIed. In running his head
against our granite" he only beat out his
own brains.
God DO thanked for this victory-this bat
tie shout in New Hampshire. Let the West
takc courage. If slaye-ridden New Hampshire
can accomplish this much, at the opening OF
the new campaign, what ought freer and might.
Ter States to do This is only the muttering
Of our thunder. The storm-cloud in our sky
is gathering into fearful blackness, pregnant
with the awful elements of hue thunder
The people are everywhere awakening. New
Hampshire is arousipg :" like q lion after sum-
berp Between this time and the March cleo
tor, every inch Of our territory will quake
to the onward tramp Of the free.
| Is it not singular circumstance that no
| Hunker by consent Of the people Of New
Hampshire, takes John p Hsle's place in the
Senate? Atherton aoas elected at the dictation
of Gen. Pierce. He died Williams was tenn
porarily appointed by the Governor This
year the Hunkers have been unable to elect
their man. So Haio's place is still vacant.
Let it be so--tlH De send him back 10 ill IL.
May this not be in the "orderings Of Proyi-
deDco ~ May not such an event be in the fa-
ture, to preserve still glorious the reputation Of
New Hsmpshirci GRANITE.

DAILY NATIONAL ERA.


In the Senate, to-day, q bid waa passed APP
propriating 100000 toward the construction
of Departments suitable for the uses of the
Government in this city also bill granting
lands to several States to cid in the construc-
ton OF railroads therein. Mr.. Chase's BILL
ayowing o principle laid down by Thomas
Jefferson in the prohibition ofolavery in the
Territories, was Of course expected to encounter
Southern opposition! The amendment propos-
ed by Mr.. Chase, permitting future adopted
citizens to avail themselves Of homesteads, was
defeated; and an amendment proposed by
Mr.. Dixon, prohibiting all but Stree schits
persons" from like privilege, was adopted
In the House, Mr.. Cumming introduced and
caused to be referred bill authorizing con-
tracts for ocean steam mail service between
Brooklyn and various ports of Europe; the
Colt case was passed over for the time; and
the proposition to pay back the duties on goods
destroyed by fire in the hands of the importers
was set aside, with indications Of disapproyal,
after brief argument by Mr.. SHELTON. Much
business Of private interest was disposed Of to-
day.
A SECOND THoUGHT.-Mr. Shields voted in
the Senate to-day against confirming the gift
Of homesteads to free white citizens" but
after some reflection, and little observation,
he changed his vote. Mr.. Shieldss heart, we
doubt not, is always in the right place; but it
appears that its impulses can sometimes be re-
strained BY considerations Of polite pru-
dence.

Mr.. Cochrane, on tho 4th of July, that Tam
many would take MIR. Pierce and hold him in
her arms she already has manifested desire
to loosen her embrace. The appointment OF
John McKeon Is the bitter yiIl to the sachems Of
the Goal Hole John McKeon 10 suspected of
being a national man--is inveterate in his OPP
position to the Soft principles followed by
the leaders of Tammany hence his elevation
over the head of disciple of Van Buren, and
Marcy is an eye-sore to the peculiar friends
and advisers of the President A special meet
ing Of the Soft General Committee was con-
vened on Tuesday night, (suggested probably
By Mr.. Marcy and q long list Of whereases
adopted, censuring the President fQr his APP
pointment of District Attorney. Following the
example Of tho New Hampshire Legislature
with the Anti-Nebraska resolutions, they re-
solved to send a copy Of their ccnsure to the
President. The small squad of Administration
admirers would seem to be decreasing"
CuBA.-Tho following speculations by the
Now York Herald compromise suggestions
worthy reflection. aOnr islands, merit the
serious attention of the American people:
''We published q statement exhibiting the
large proportion Of the population Of Cuba
made up of African slaves, free negroes, Bo-
zalcs, or savage Africans, mulattoes, &c. We
are now informed that Dutch ship had ar
rived at Havana, from China, with 47O Coolies,
or laborcrs, on board. These fellows are In
troduced by way Of experiment, as substitutes
for Africans. IL they answer the purpose, the
importation Of these Chinese may supersede
the slave trade. But if such Celestial impor-
tations shall be increased to any considerable
extent anterior to the annexation of Cuba,
what beautiful mixed basis we shall have to
deal with in fixing the Federal representation
Of the island
We invoke the attention Of Marcy to this
nefarious business, without moments loss of
time The administration official organ he's
repeatedly declared, that if Spain insists upon
the Authorization of Cuba, Gen. Pierce will
make it cause Of war. But has Spain any
more right to fill the island with tho swarthy
Chinese than with free blacks? Let our pre-
naier issue his instructions upon this subject
without delay. There are negroes enough in
the island and yellow-skins enough there, for
all our purposes; and further importations
either from Africa or China would be nui-
sancs, in view of manifest destiny Unless
some room is left in Cuba for the Anglo-Sax-
ons the Irish Catholics, and tho Know Moth
ings, the island is not worth having. These
importations of Coolies must be stopped. Let
Marcy issue his instructions accordinglyn
