sCIENTIFIc SOCIETY.

FIRST DAY.-This body commenced its
eighth annual meeting yesterday at the Smith
sonian Institution-Professo Dana, of Yale
College, president; Lawrence Smith, secretary;
Professor Lowering, permanent secretary and
treasurer. A large number of scientific men,
some of them the most eminent in the country,
were present; and the appearances were that
the sessions will be spirited and interesting,
and productive of great practical benefit to the
country at large.
The proceedings yesterday morning were
opened by prayer by the Rev. DR.. Bacon, of
Columbia College. :.
The election of new members then took
place.
Some discussion as to the mode of electing
six additional members to the standing COM
mittee occurred, but it finally settled upon
former custom, and the members were elected
as nominated by the standing committee.
A communication from the National Medical
College, rendering to the society the use OF
certain rooms occupied by the college, was re-
ceived.
A Communication from the mayor of Alex
andria, containing an invitation to visit said
city on the return of the society from the ex-
cursion to Mount Vernon on Saturday, and
partake ofa "good plain temperance collation."
was received and accepted. as
An invitation from Georgetown College to
visit that institution was also received.
A communication from the Young Mems
Christian Association, rendering the use other
library to the members Of the society, during
their stay in the city, was read.
A resolution, inviting the President OF the
United States, the cabinet and members of the
Senate and House of Representatives to attend
the meetings of the society was passed.
A programme of daily proceeding was then
adopted, viz: Monday, from 9 to l03, meeting OF
committees; l04 to l2a, meetings ST sections !;
from l24 to 3, general meetings. Evening,
from to u, meetings of sections from "a to
8, general meetings. N
Society adjourned to o'clock, p. m.
EVENING SESSION. .-Thes esevere thunderstorm
which came up previous to the hour appointed
for the evening meeting prevented many mem
bers Of the society from attending at the regu-
lar time, and completely disarranged the pro-
gramme for the session. At 6 o'clock, how
ever, goodly number was present and the
exercises commenced by the reading OF pa
per by Professor Kunkle, in relation to Pierce's
lunar tables. The object of the writer was to
show the comparative superiority OF Pierce's
tables over those of Buckhardt, as regards cor
rectness and facility of computation. The pro-
duction was so elaborately embellished with as
Economical terms as to be uninteresting to the
general reader, and 80 closely interviewer in
the argument as to prevent the preparation of
an abstract that would prove satisfactory to
those who are familiar with the subject upon
which it treated.
Pending the interesting debate which fol
lowed, Interesting to professors of astronomy
only,) we left the hall, and thus closed our re-
port of the first days proceedings.

Ex-President Fillmore on Southern

Ex-President Fillmore on Southern
Plantation Mr.. Fillmore, while at Montgomery,
Alabama, having expressed desire TO visit
southern plantation on the Sabbath, that he might
see the appearance of the slaves on that day, at
home he was invited to and visited MAJOR Cowle's
plantation, in company with Mr.. Kennedy and
the committee Of arrangements, where he was
cordially received and entertained by MAYOR and
Mrs. Cowlcs The Journal says:
aAfter taking view of the beautiful grounds
around the mansion Of the major, he was con-
Quoted TO the negro quarter, where he found a
cheerful and happy number Of slaves, Of all ages
and sexes, comfortably provided and cared for,
who received him with pleasant smile and much
cordiality. On entering one of the rooms where
a number were seated around cheerful fire, (the
evening being quite cold0 0they all arose from their
seats and received their visitors most gracefully.
We discovered one of the men with q book in
his hand, which he seemed dcsirous to conceal On
being asked what book he was reading, he replied:
Robinson Crusoe, sir" and expressed the opin-
ion that Crusoe's man Friday was funny fellow.
We have no doubt Mr.. Fillmore was highly
gratiGed TO find the slaves so neatly and clcanly
clad, and in every way 50 well provided for, and
but happy and contented. 1900

THE BADGER AMENDMENT AND THE
NEBRASKA BILL.

We showed, in our article yesterday on the
Badger amendment, that it is in no manner
inconsistent with the provisions of the original
bill. 1t is true that some of the leading aboli-
tionists in the Senate voted for that amend
ment and that fact has been seized on by its
southern opponents as proof that it introduced
new feature hostile to southern rights. This
course is eminently unjust; for it's known to
be a custom for the foes of q proposed enact
ment to vote amendments which they do not
sanction, in order to produce delay and embar
rassment.
AS we stated in the beginning, we thought
that, although the Badger amendment wrought
no change in the original bill, it would proba-
bly, produce confusion and perplexity. We
have no doubt that the abolition senator's who
voted for the amendment took the same view
Of the case for they voted to a man against the
bill with the amendment attached. If that was
the reason Of their course-and we have no
doubt it was subsequent events have proved
that they were not mistaken.
Holding that the Badger amendment does
not modify the original bill, but only declares
mo,e specifically what was its real intent and
purpose, we contend that those who assail that
amendment, must, in order to be logically con-
sistent, look with ,,disfavor on the bill itself
And here we would remark, that we have seen
no evidence that the northern opponents of
the bill as it passed the Senate, lay any stress
on the Badger amendment They base their
diatribes and denunciations on the repeal Of
the Missouri compromise, which the original
bill, If it had become law, would have accom-
plished. =. 8s
Judge Douglas, in his first great speech on
this sublect--morc than hundred thousand
copies of which were circulated from this Office
in pamphlet form--proved that there were n,
laws affecting slavery in Nebraska anterior !,
the Missouri compromise, and we do not 70
member to have heard the position controvert
eddy any friend Of the bill at the time. If an,
such laws did exist anterior to 1920 they wer,
repealed by the subsequent action Of Congress-
which has made Nebraska Indian territory
forbade the settlement and occupancy of tn,
whites in that portion of the public do

CONGRESS-.

In the Senate, yesterday, a bill to authorize
the purchase Of the portraits Of the first five
Presidents of the United States was reported,
considered, and passed. The Indian appro-
priation bill was then considered, and many
amendments were acted upon. After an ex-
ecutive session, the Senate adjourned.
In the House of Representatives, several re-
ports were made from standing committees,
including bill providing for the support OF
the Post Office Department for the year ending
June 80, 1856. The bill granting lands equal
lyto the several States for purposes Of internal
improvement and educational purposes was dis
cussed during the morning hour The Honse
went into committee, and took up the deficiency
bill, when Messrs. Harris Of Mississippi, Hester,
and Taylor, of Ohio, severally spoke in oppo-
sition to the Nebraska and Kansas bill.

THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN
WHIGs AT VARIANCE-WHICH
WITH nrvn VUAvf

Some time since we called attention to re-
cent events that distinctly disclosed the fact
that there is no sympathy, no affinity no con-
geniality between the wings of the north and
the wings Of the south, and that their union
was either forced or accidental. We said that
the whig party of the north was purely sec
tional party, and, if not thoroughly abolition
lied, was so full Of the taint Of unsoundness and
of freesoilism as to be unfit political associ-
ates and confederates of the wings of the
south. The two cannot longer act together.
The thing is impossible, unless the wings of
the south are false and recreant to the principles
they have all along professed they sell
themselves and the division from which they
come to their allies of the north. Some did
not credit what we said. they thought that it
was unfounded in fact, and ascribed it to par
tisan bitterness But there is testimony that
they cannot reject. 1t comes from the highest
source-that is the authentic source. 1t is the
voluntary confession of the acknowledged organ
Of the "silver grays'-that wing Of the northern
whig party which has always been considered
the most honest, reliable, and the most loyal
to the Constitution and the rights of the States.
That organ is the Albany State Register. In
carefully prepared article in its issue Of the
25th instant, it defines the comparative posi-
tons Of the northern and southern whig par
ties 1t dlates in rather boastful manner on
the sacrifices which the first have at various
times made for the last. Itspeaks with much
feeling Of the ingratitude Of the southern wings,
and takes great credit to the wings Of its divi-
sion for supporting the compromises Of the
Constitution, for the sake Of preserving their
eonnexion with their brethren Of the south"
It talks as il sup norting the compromises Of

A LIST OF THE $3.50 0ANTI-NEBRAsTkA
CLERGYMEN. 2a

We commence to-day the publication of the
names Of three thousand and fifty New England
clergymen, who sent to the Senate memorial
against the Nebraska bill, and declared it to be
offered in the name of Almighty God" That
many of the names are spurious, we do not
doubt; and our object in publishing them is to
detect any frauds and forgeries that may have
been committed. 1t will be seen that the resi-
dences Of those whose names are signed are
given, and it is thus rendered an easy task for
the impostors to be detected. We will thank
our friends throughout New England to bestow
o careful examination on this list, and furnish
us with any information they may be possessed
of in reference to such frauds as may have been
committed.
It is no light thing to see three thousand and
fifty men combining for any purpose; but it
becomes very serious affair to witness the
close union of three thousand and fifty minis
ters Of the Gospel for purpose entirely, at
variance with their holy calling. Whether
they be good men or bad men, whether their
object be vicious or virtuous, the harmonious
efforts Of so large number Of clergymsn can
not but exert powerful influence over large
class Of ignorant men, who, incapable of think
ing intelligently for themselves, are accustomed
to be guided by the opinions Of their ministers.
Tn this view it is important to show, as we be-
lieve it can be shown, that but fraction Of the
names signed to the memorial Of the clergy are
genuine. We design publishing extra numbers
OF the papers containing this list in order to
enable those who feel an interest in the subject
to forward the list to their friends to verify it,
and ascertain whether or no the signers be all
clergymen We desire information as to the
churches the various signers preside over, their
places of residence, and under what circum-
stences they were induced to sign it.
If fraud has been practised in regard to this
memorial, as we do not doubt it is important
to the cause Of truth and of religion that it
should be exposed.
The list is too long for one number Of our
paper, and will have to be continued until COM
pleted. G3

Imnortant from Mexico.

New ORLEANS, April 25-The steamer Ie1as a
has arrived from Vera Cruz, bringing dates ilohi
tha c;,v of Mexico TO the 18th inst. A great battle
had occurred between the forces under Santa Anna
and Alvarez, in which the latter were defeated
II was reported that the 81 persons recently
arrestedi n the schooner Anita, near San Bias, for
LANDING without a passport, had been carried heavi-
ly chained TO the capital. H.
Among the prisoners taken at San Bias are
saId 10 be twenty natve-born Americans, twelve
adop,ed citizens and four Englshmen.
The victory of Santa Anna was celebrated at the
capital with great rejoicing and general hiumi-
nation.
The published accounts of the battle and victory
are very ridiculous, and greatly exaggerated.
