similar check on the English pests, Palmers-

long ago as in 1854; but cannot the sensible men
Of England bring an outside pressure to bear?
1t must be as easy in London as it is in New

out of this American quarrel, and that the
only persons who will gain credit by emoister-

but have we lived to the year Of grace 1856,

HARD TO PIEASE-ANoTHER TICKET CALLED
FoR.-Some OF the old line straight out hard
shell wings refuse to support Mr.. Fillmore be-
cause he has become a Know Nothing: others
because of his strong Southern accent, al
others because he has been nominated as tn.
Know Nothing candidate. On the other hand.
some OF our most inveterate Know Nothings
reject Mr.. Fillmore because he is not memb.r
Of the Order at all events, not a member in
the regular way but member on the sly.
Others oppose him because he is pro-slavery
Southern candidate others because he is the
silver gray whig nominee in disguise; others
because lie can't do thing in New York,
and because his nomination has bursted up the
American party.
Here, then, we have again a striking illus

was not without bearing this principle in miad

and now--when indications are not wanting
that England is about to be forced into an
ignominious or, at the least, an unsatisfactory
peace-they resort to the old plan of occupy

country. Lord Palmerston was created ex-
pressly to carry out this policy. He has been
its most faithful and persevering exponent. A
flashing speaker, a hearty debater, he never
rises in the House of Commons without divert
ing public attention from the question at
Issue by engaging in some fierce personal con.
troversy; and he is the same in the Cabinet
He cannot be six months in Office without en-

never was. Since his political life began, he
has quarrelled, on behalf of England, with
France, Spain, Greece. Austria, Russia, Persia,

some of these, several times in succession. His

OFFICE BOARD OF TRUSTEES on PUBLIC SoHooLs
WASHINGTON, Aug. /, 1856
GENTLEMEN beg leave respectfully to tender
my resignation of the Office of Secretary Of the
Board of Trustees Of Public Schools TO take effect
at the close of the present month.
The duties Of my present vocation, the care and
education OF my own children, and the impaired
state Of my health, prevent me from visiting the
schools so frequently as their interests demand,
and from giving them that attention which is
properly required Of the Secretary by the rules of
the Board.
In taking leave of the Board, with which have
been connected for nearly twelve years, il gives
me great satisfaction to believe that the discipline
Oh the Public Schools never better than il now
is, nor the system more successful and efficient IN
its operations its hold upon public opinion strong
err nor its future prospects more bright and encou
raging.
This measure of success is due, under Proyi-
dence, to the careful superintendence of the Trus
tees, to the jealous and unwearied exertions of
faithful, laborious and accomplished Teachers the
earnest and cordial cooperation OF the City Coun-
ellis, and the healthy influence of a sound public
opinion.
Accept my thanks for the aid and encourage.
ment which you have given me in the discharge of
the responsible duties Of the Office with which
have been honored, and the expression Of my con-
hdent belief that the Public Schools Of Washing
ton will continue to be, as they heretofore always
have been schools for the people, without dis:ino-
ton OF class, sect or party, and which, with the
liberal patronage Of Congress- are destined to be-
come the model schools Of the republic.
With my best wishes for your continued success
in the discharge of the important trusts confided
to your care and for your individual prosperity and
happiness remain, gentlemen, very respectfully,
your obedient servant, G. J. ABBOT.

The Release OF Drayton and sayers.

Mr. Fillmore with bad faith TO the South in remit
ting portion OF the punishment inflicted by the

has investigated the case, in the State Department
and has communicated the result Of that investi-

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY, August 6, 1856.


After our report closed yesterday, several amend
ments were made to the bill making appropriations
for the legislative, executive and judicial expenses
of the government the most important of which
was one offered by Mr.. GROW, of Pennsylvania,
and amended by Mr.. STANTON, of Ohio, provid-
ing that no portion of the money appropriated for
the Territory Of Kansas should be used in pay
ment of the expenses of any prosecution for trea-
son or for political offences.
The bill, as amended, having been reported to
the House,
Mr.. CAMPBELL, of Ohio moved substitute
for the entire BILL emitting all which related to
Kansas; aud, in support of his views on the sub
ject, made an hours speech Whilst he sympa.
thized, he said, sincerely "a any member of the
House with the people of Kansas, and would 90
as far as any to obtain redress in proper way he
would not agree to stop the wheels of government
Mr. WASHBURN, of Maine, raised point of
order that the items in the substitute had not been
considered in Committee of the Whole, as re-
quired by the rules, and the Speaker sustained the
objection.
The several amendments Of the committee were
then voted upon, under the operation of the pre-
vious question, and were mostly adopted; and
the bill, as amended, was passed by vote OF 81
TO 55. 11
At o'clock the House took recess until /;
when political speeches were made by Messrs.
READY, WALLER, and SAGE.

Icy In the course OF next week, we Shall
review the speeches of Mr.. Buchanan on the
question of lo,r aoages, and demonstrate that,
if his policy were carried into effect in this
country, it would result in bringing down the
wages of laboring men and operatives in man
ufactories, to onehalf the present prices if not
even rs low as ten cents day." all which
was fully demonstrated at the time by the Hon.
John Davis, in his mastery reply to the loW
aoages speech Of /" Old Squatter SoDereign."
We use, for the first time, the soubriquet,
"Old Squatter Sovereign" as applied to Mr..
Buchanan, it being term now frequently APP
piled to him in the extreme South. 1t was
first given to him, we believe, by an esteemed
contemporary in Alabama, and it so fully and
fairly expresses one branch Of his political
opinions that no one can object to it. This
term would have been peculiarly applicable to
General Cas-, as the author of this mischievous
doctrine, but The old gentleman not being in
the ring" his squatter sovereignty mantle
must be placed upon the shoulders Of the rep
resentative Of the Cincinnati platform, and
James Buchanan is therefore more fairly euti-
lied to this appelation, " old Squatter Sor-
eyei1p,"
There is, it is thought, a peculiar propriety
IN changing the name Of old Buck" into
something else AZ the term Buck implies
4aaJsyjes, which we shall say nothing
about, Il being inappropriate to do SO, and es-
peeialIy o. no ether reason need be assigned
Tor the change, than that the name, cold
Squatter Sovereign" indicates political prin-
ciple, and 'sOId Buck" does not
