JouRNAllsN m New Yoax.-Rumors have
recently been circulated announcing the collec-
don Of a fund of 100000 for the establishment
If 0 daily journal in favor of Buchanan end the
digger driving democracy. Now, Mr.. Buchanan,
although very respectable politician and very
unable man, has been miserably represented in
he press Of this city, and the idea Of collecting
hundred thousand dollars was very natural
me in the condition in which his cause stands
iere. As yet, however, we have seen nothing to
indicate that the first step has been taken in this
project Forney, who is the Oliver lie Dain Of
the niger drivers, has been able to accomplish
nothing Neither have Sckles Sanders or Ro-
bert ]. Walker, whose names have been connected
with similar rumors, done anything positive.
Whilst these evidences Of weakness in the Blu
chansn party are forcing themselves on our OBJ
servation, the cause of Fremont seems to be pro-
crossing immensely, not only amongst the peo-
pie but the journals Of this State We perceive
that an evening paper in the interest Of Fremont
has been started in this city under the supervision
and direction Of the Rev. Joseph A. ScoviIle,
who was formerly connected with several
weekly journals here. The Register can hardly
be called a new paper--it is rather
transportation from Albany to a richer soil
and more congenial atmosphere, in which it will
have increased chances of success The Fremont
party wanted lively, pungent, original and Vi
gorous evening organ, and they have got it. The
first New York issue Of the Register is out, and it
is certainly novelty in its way. The editor
hangs ont his banner in favor Of Col Fremont
for President, Horace Greeley for Governor, and
Fernando Wood for Mayor, whilst at the same
time he walks into Thurlow Weed and the little
villains of all parties comprehending the trash
writer's Of the Sunday press, without any restric-
TONS drawbacks or hesitation whatever.
OF the six New York evening journals there
are now three in the interest of Fremont, two in
that Of Fillmore, and one in that Of Buchanan.
OF these three Fremont papers the last establish
cd is tie most vigorous of all. The journalism
OF this great metropolis is singularly divided in
the present contest. There are 100000 daily
sheets issued in favor Of Fremont, morning and
evening, whilst the number in favor of Buchanan
is not more than 10000 or $4,000, and Of Fill
more hardly so much. Such a disparity in the
intellectual batteries Of a great city like this
must soon tell amongst an intelligent people. II
would only require few months campaign, with
the aid of such powerful moral auxilaries, to en-
able Fremont to distance all bis competitors ont
of sight

THE NEW PosT OFFICE LocAr1ov.-Onc a
our contemporary journals, Of which Mr. MeEl-
rath, the President Of the Nassau Bank. Is par,
proprietor comes out in favor Of purchasing the
cd Brick Church a. the site for the new Post
Office. Wei. there is no harm in this; Mr..
McElrath. we believe, was concerned in the pur-
chase Of The old Brick Church property as land
speculation. lis partners in the affair were Mr..
Wesley, tie principal proprietor Of the Dab
Tires ard other parties. They bought the pro
r;riy. it is stated, for $4,000, or thereabouts
They now ofer It for 100000, and we w.. w..
every reason to believe hat the government at
Washington means TO drive political bargain
with these worthies in selecting location for the
new Post Office.
Now. the difference between the FUN paid for
this property and that which is demanded for IL
is $500 000. This divided amongst the silent
and moneymakDg partners Of the Tribune and
Tmes would he a very curious set of to their 20
litical fidelity in the support Of Fremont against
Buchanan. Greeley we believe to be honest in
bis support Of Fremont and 50 10 all probability
Il Dana. but We would not give Eve cents for the
political honesty Of any Of the confederates Of
the Brick Church speculation.
Only think Of the means Of political action
which are thrown into the hands Of govern.
ment ty this Post Office appropriation. The
Postmaster General has, in the location Of The
new building the opportunity OF managing mat
ters in such way a. almost TO render the cleo.

Fremont or any other candidate. The President

Pennsylvania is the battle ground, ande en-
New York, and very much win be done in Penn
sylvania in October to determine the strength Of
the frightened democracy there in November.
Some Of the Fillmore electors are, we perceive,
going over to Fremont, and with proper activity

over with the results of the October election
The estimates of the enemy show that Fremont
may yet be elected.

TIE REASON FOR THE EXTRA SESSION OF
CoSGREss.-The House amendment to the Army
bill, on Kansas affairs, which the democratic Sc
nate could not agree to, was the cause OF the
failure OF that BILL and it's failure is the reason
urged by the President for calling Congress to-
gether again. The following is the House pro-
viso, which has thus resulted in the extra session
Of Congress, to witt
Provided however, and it is hereby declared, that nj

support OF which appropriations are made By this act

The cniy difficulty about this amendment, will
Mr.. Toonbe and Mr.. Douglas, is that it does moi
allow the money Of the federal treasury nor the
United States troops TO be used for the benefit Of
the border rufians--that's all. The following are
the items Of appropriation Of the bill which thus
hangs suspended upon this proviso:-

As the case stands, upon the simple principe
of fair play and squatters' rights, we considr
that there are some points in that proviso d
greater importance than these appropriation,
and we think that the House should stand out, I
necessary, till the day after the Presidential
election, rather than allow the Pierce democracy
TO dodge the responsibility Of these Kansas atD-
cities, and the duty of putting a stop to then.
The two houses are to meet to-day, and we shll
soon see where the backbone is wanting. Amb-
solute back down from that proviso will be qni-
valent 10 a surrender Of the Territories TO the
law Of ruffanism, instead Of the doctrine Of ,opu
lar sovereignty. Let US have an understanding
with the Buchanan people as to the exact maning
ofthe Cincinnati platform in reference to theaffars

in Kansas as il means ruffaniem in Cuba; but let
us know what it means. Bring them to the
