The News.
The weather was outrageously hot yesterday.
It was the warmest June day we have had in eight
years We would give the figures, but as 1t would
not have q tendency TO make our readers any
cooler, we refrain. In the HERALD editorial rooms,
which is cool place, and contains singularly
cool set Of individuals, the thermometer stood at 81
degrees ats o'clock P. n. This was in the shade.
In the sun the mercury literally outran calcula.
ton, for the highest point of the glass we have is
40 degrees, and the mercury was far beyond that.
There is evidently determination on the part Of
Old Sol to make up for his remssness 30 far this
summer, and give us the benefit Of his hottest
blasts. or this yesterday was an earnest. IL began
Mt a degrees In the morning, ran up to SO degrees
ut noon; at p NJ. it was 81 degrees, and remained
at that figure until 8 P. NJ, when it moderated.
Most people do not wish It quite SO hot a. this but
it Is splendid weather for corn, light clothes, pota-
toes, soda water, strawberries, Coney Island,
loafers and lager bier.

The Dunkifk express on the New York and Erie
Railroad, which left. New York yesterday morning,
ran over horse near Dunhrk, throwing the train

The Seward Disunion Platform-spoeches OF
Senators Bell and Hale, or New Hampshire.
We publish to-day report of the speeches
lately delivered at Concord by the two new
Senators recently elected by the New Hamp-
shire Know Nothing and free soil Legislature,
Mr.. James Bell, and Mr.. John P. Hale. The
former heretofore has been wing, and the latter
iswen known throughout the country as lead
ing free soiler, and especially as the candidate
Of the anti-slavery coalition for President in
1852.
Mr. Hale of course sticks to his anti-slavery
instincts end associations but there is some
thing significant in the speech of Mr.. Bell, sub.
stantially upon the same platform. Between
the two, we are given very clearly to under
stand that the repeal of the Nebraska bill, and
the restoration thereby of the Missouri line
Of demarcation against Southern slavery-the
corner stone of the programme Of the New York
Seward Holy Alliances also the corner stone
Of the dominant Know Nothing and free soil
majority of New Hampshire. The State Coun-
Gil Of the Massachusetts, Know Nothings have
Just declared the same purpose, in endorsing
the secession of Wilson IL Co. from the Phila-
delphia Council, and in boldly demanding the
restoration of the Missouri line. The other
New England States have betrayed the same
disorganizing tendencies to a junction with the
Seward coalition. In word, from all the de-
velopements and all the signs Of the times we
may safely pronounce the New England States
as demoralized beyond redemption by niger
worahipping and Maine Liquor law fanaticism--
that they are committed to the cause of Seward
and his disorganizing plot for violent, vindic-
tive and most strongly marked sectional cam
paign for the Presidency.
In the prosecution of this seditious con-
spiracy we perceive that the late border
squabbles among the squatters Of Kansas are
mainly to be relied upon, and urged upon the
North as imperiously demanding the restora.
ton of the Missouri line. Upon this false issue
these scheming agtators calculate upon such a
diversion as will give them at least the balance
Of power in the Presidential campaign. But
what is the real issue? The object Of the re-
peal Of the Nebraska bill was to remove the agi-
tation Of the slavery question out Of Congress,
