Ihere seems to be some difference of opin-

GOVERNOR ROBINSON SEIZED.

The New York Tribune Of May 18th, says
We learn by telegraph that Governor Robin
son of Kansas has been seized on his way east
by a Border-Ruffian mob at Lexington, Mis-
souri,. We trust he may escape with his life.
The telegraph also reports movement inCon-
gress to inquire as to the recent employment
of United States troops to enforce the acts of
the Bogus Legislature.
Much has been said in the newspapers about
Major Bufori's famous regiment of immigrants
from Georgia. From the account given of
them in letter which We publish to-day, they
are not likely to add much moral strength to
the cause to champion which they have been
brought to Kansas.
The examination of witnesses before the
Committee commenced on the 2ith of April,
and some reports of the proceedings have at
length come to hand. The first witness exam
ined, one Jordan DGrisOn, confessed, on cross
examination, that there exists in Missouri, and
has existed since the latter part of 1854, Sc
cret society, known as the sSBlue Lodge,''
s.Sons ofthe South, 4" "'ESocial Band ''ssFriends'
Society," and by various other names, the oS-
ject of which is to extend Slavery into Kan
sas. 1t had branches, as the witness had un-
derstood, in Kentucky, Tennessee and Arkan-
sas, if not other States; and this society was
used as means to concentrate party of men
in the Territory at the election of the 3Oth of
March.
1t was abundantly proved by several witness
scs that at the election held in the second dis
trict Of Douglas County, on the 30th of March,
the Judges originally appointed were compel
led to resign by threats of instant death, in
making which Jones, since known IS ssSheriff7'
Jones, was very active after which other Jud-
ges were appointed, who received all the Mis-
souri, votes that offered.
1t was testified that at various Districts large
bodies of men were in and encamped Just be-
fore the election, and disappeared immediate
ly after, and that the names on the pon lists
far exceeded in number the inhabitants emu
meratcd in the census, while but few of the
names on the census lists could be found on
the poll lists. 1t will be seen by letters from
Lawrence, published in another column. that
one of the witnesses before the Committee has
already been shot at and wounded by ruffians.
who enticed him out of his house for the pur-
pose.

CONGRESSIONAL.

In the Senate the Danish Sound Dues have
been under discussion. Mr.. Cass spoke in
favor of the doctrine of squatter sovereignty
The House Bill giving 100000 acres of
land in Iowa for railroads was passed by n
vote of 81 to g.. It had passed in the House
by vote of 10 to SO.
In the House, on the Sth, quite scene oc-
Cured. The Senate's amendments to the
Deficiency Appropriation bill being under
consideration, Mr.. Giddings earnestly attack
ed an item for the expenses of the judiciary
in Ohio, and was warmly condemning the ap-
preparation of money to discharge arrcaragcs
contracted for returning fugitive slaves to
Kentucky, when he suddenly tainted and fell
to the floor. Several members Immediately
conveyed him to sofa near an open window.
a profound sensation was occasioned by the
incident, and a recess was spoken of, when it
was moved to change the order of business
and receive reports for an hour. Mr.. Gid
dings soon returned to consciousness and was
conducted to his residence. He afterwards
on the same day, returned to the Hall and con-
cluded his remarks against the Senate's a.
mendments to the Deficiency Appropriation
bill.
On the 10th, Mr.. Fuller, OF Pa, defined his
position, past and present, on the Slavery
question, avowing broad national principles,
and stigmatising forgeries certain publca-
tions attributing to him extreme Northern
views.
In the Serate, on the 18th, Mr.. Clayton cal
led attention to published letter by Mr..
Champion, dated March 81, SO, wherein it's
alleged that Sir Henry BuIwer, before signing
the treaty of 1850, informed Mr.. Clayton that
Ruatan was held TO be a part of the British
possessions, adding that Mr.. Clayton, in con-
versation with Mr.. Champion, on various oc-
casions, had admitted the same view
Mr.. Clayton branded the whole statement
as utterly untrue in every part, and proceeded
to show from Mr.. Crampton's letters, and from
conversations as late as March last, proving
the same by Mr.. Crttenden, that no such idea
was entertained by Mr.. Clayton or claimed by
Mr.. Champion.
Mr.. Clayton expressed his astonishment at
seeing such statement in print. and in the out
set branded it as wholly false.
Mr.. Pratt doubted the authenticity of the
letter.
Mr.. Cass and others participated in the de-
bate, characterising his prctensions as anoth-
or of those shameless shifts to which Great
Britain had been driven in her efforts to OBJ
tain foot hold, under handedly, in Central
America.

The Bank notifies the public that it was the
only one in circulation-and, to render it use
less to the finder, all future issues of that de-
nomination will be printed in red ink. We
warn our country exchanges not to receive any

The Rochester Democrat says that Judge
Moses Sperry, of Chill, Monroe county, N. Y.
recognizes in the account of the discovery of
a white girl among the Mohave Indians, a
daughter of his sister, who removed with her
husband, Lorenzo Oatman, to Iowa. and were
murdered on their way across the plains to
California, as stated in the account of the res
cue. The whole family were supposed to have
been murdered, as nothing had been heard of
the missing children, until this news of the
rescue of the little girl. Undoubtedly the
children, who have experienced such sharp
vlcIssitudes and been so wonderfully saved
from death, will find friends to take care of
them until they can lie returned to the protec.
tion of their relatives.

GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE.
GEORGETOWN, June 3, 1856.

The lecture of the Rev Mr.. Hoge, of Balti
more, in the Bridge street church last night,
was we'll attended. His subject was "Relieion
and Liberty in danger from false Philosophy. "
de took as his starting point, the philosophy
OF Plato and his pupil, and discussed In a
manner rarely excelled in point of ability, the
various PHILOSOPHERS of ancient and modern
times, down to the present; contrasting, as he
proceeded, sound with false philosophy, show
ing the dangerous tendencies of the latter,
and its Injurious effects upon religion, sound
morality, and civil liberty.
The most intense anxiety pervaded the
public mind in our city yesterd ay until the
result of the Mayors election in your city
was made known last night. The friends Of
the two contenaing parties seemed to feel as
deep an interest in the result as those imme.
diately interested; andi scores wendell their
way out in the evening to await the result.
Some to return home filled with rejoicings,
and others looking rs disconsolate and uneasy
as poor boy at frolic.
We have rarely seen our streets generally
in such a clearly condition at this season of
the year. Every portion of them shows that
the most rigid attention has been paid to their
condition by the officer in charge, upon whom
too much praise cannot be bestowed The
health Of our city too, so far as we can learn,
ID excellent-neVer better.
Inc scholars Of Trinity church Sabbath
School gave last evening another of their
very interesting exhibitions. The spacious
edihce was densely filed with delighted spec
tators.

We are pleased to see by notices in other

LOf !AL INTELLIGENCE.

TIE ELECTION YEsrERDAY.-Below We give
the Y ote in the election held yesterday for
Msy or, Aldermen, and members Of Council !;
also a summary of the vote in the election of
IS! a, by which it will be seen that the vote
is some hundreds heavier than at that cleo
ION.
The voting by precincts, so earnestly re.
commended in our issue Of one year ago, the
day after election, worked to q charm in ena-
bling our citizens to do their voting with ease
and comfort, instead Of being compelled to
stand for hours in the broiling sun.
In the evening Of course there was the usual
vending OF citizens towards the City Hall and
the boys as usual piled mp and set of their tar
barrel bonfres, never troubling their infan-
tile brains about the returns, or at any rate
fully determined to have blaze, let who
would be elected.
As the returns from the various Wards were
brought in by excited couriers, and proclaim
ed from the City Hall steps and windows to
the vast assemblsge of upturnsd faces, there
was a visible frightening of Know Nothing
countenances. Still they could not believe,
and their opponents scarcely trusted them
selves to expect that the majority of 1854
could be entirely overcome. Yet the returns
looked sufficiently ominous to damp enthusi-
asm upon the part of Sans followers, and the
ant's' warned by past reverses, thought it
prudent to wait until fully emerged from the
woods before halloing; 80 the partizans on
either side waited in grim silence the returns
from the decisive upper Ward.
just at this time the disconsolate Know
NothirIgs were electrified by the appearance
at the official City Hall window Of one of the
gre I'D sachems of the order, and his excited
announcement, amid waving Of hats, cheers
and the widest enthusiasm, of the election of
Silas II. Hill for mayor. Another large sized
sachem mounted to the window and congratu-
lated his Know Nothing brethren upon their
hard won victory; whereupon pistols were
fred, hats thrown up, procession formed,
and of marched the order on acongratulatOry
round. Meantime, the anti Know Nothing.
gathered into groups, and tried to cipher out
where the votes came from to elect Hill. With
little figuring they elected Magruder fairly
and squarely, and then they, in turn, set out
in congratulatory procession, calling upon DIR.
Magruder and others and eliciting handsome
speeches. Thus, for a time, Washington city
seemed to have two undoubted mayors elect !;
but this morning the smoke of the conflict is
sufficiently cleared up to enable all parties to
ascertain their whereabouts, and the terrible
and Notifying defeat Of the Know Nothings
is established as fixed fact.
Upon an examination of the returns at the
City Hall at noon to-day we find the vote for
Mayor fOots up as follows.
