THE SAVANNAH FRIGArE--We have the highest
authority for stating that the account published
yesterday, of the difficulty between Com. Sater of
the Savannah and the British Admiral on the Bra
zl station, is correct in every particular We
therefore await further advices from Rio with no
small degree of eagerness. Not that we apprehend
another Leopard and Chesapeake affair. Quite the
contrary. If Commodore Salter is the man we
take him to be, no British Admiral on earth or sea
will overhaul the America until the Savannah is
submerged in the waves of the Atlantic.

rHIRTY-FoURTH CONGRESS,
FIRST SESSION.
SENATE
THURSDAY, April 10, 1855.


THURSDAY April 10, 1855.
Mr.. SEWARD introduced a bill amendatory Of
the copyright, which gives 10 the authors Of dra-
matte composition right in the acting as well as
in the publishing Of their plays. Referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary.
Mr.. HOUSTON gave notice that he should speak
in answer to several Senators on the Naval Reform
question on Wednesday next.
The question of laying the motion to print the
petition of the Legislature of the State OF Kan
sas" came up, when
Mr.. SEWARD thought it of little consequence
whether the Senate printed the petition, for 1t had
appeared in the newspapers. The petition is from
the provisional State government of Kansas. The
question is whether this provisional government
shall receive the courtesy of printing their petit
tion.
| Mr.. BUTLER, under the rule, questioned the
genuineness Of the signatures to the petition, and
| therefore objected to the printing
Mr. HAMLIN said the Senate was officially in
formed of the existence of the Territory of Kansas
that there was Territorial government, and also
| that there was provisional State government,
| and that the State government had formed con-
stitution and that the constitution was before the
Senate that the constitution had been submitted
to the Senate by Mr.. CAss. As to the assertion OF
Messrs MASON and BUTLER, that they should have
moved the rejection of that constitution and ac.
companying petition, he thought such procedure
would be on parallel with the conduct of Lord
North in rejecting the petitions of the American
colonies, lie thought, independent of the slavery
| issue, that the petitions should be received, and
| he should vote to print.
| Mr.. BUTLER said that If the opposers of this
| petition were to be personifed as Lord North, ho
supposed the gentleman from Maine Mr.. HAMLINl
arrogated to himself the qualities of John Hancock
or Patrick Henry. The justice of the parallel was
combatted. He closed by saying he should oppose
the motion to print, and il the motion was passed,
| he should regard it as the greatest outrage ever
| offered the South.
Mr.. HALE was advocating the printing of the
| petition when our report closed.

Col. Fremont ON Kansas.

The Boston Atlas of the 9th contains letter
from Col Fremont, dated New York, March nth,

letter is as follows:
"The Banks balloting in the House, and your
movements in Kansas, had naturally carried my
mind back to our one hundred and forty odd bal
lots in California and your letter came seasonably
and fitly 10 complete the conneIion.

only an incident in great struggle-the victory
was deferred and lost. You have carried to ano-

ability to maintain it, and make you my sincere
congratulations your success incomplete 80 far,
but destined in the end to triumph absolutely.
81 had been waiting to see what shape the Kan
sas question would take in Congress, that might
be enabled to give you some views in relation TO
the probable result. Nothing yet has been accom-
plished but am satisfied that in the end Congress

| lean people the exact truths concerning your af-
| fairs Neither you nor ] can have any doubt what
verdict the people will pronounce upon truthful
exposition.
1t is to be feared, from the proclamation of the
President that he intends to recognise the usurp-
alton in Kansas as the legitimate governm ent, and
that the sedition law, the test OATH and the means
taken to expel its people Aliens will all directly
or indirectly, be supported by the army Of the Uni

Your position will undoubtedly be difficult, but

you must act for yourself No man can give you

counsel in that inspiration which good cause
never fails to give him at the instant of trial

From the Albany Statesman.
1t is ROmanism.

The ally and mainstay of the so-called Republi-
can party, is Romanism. At the head of this party
stand Seward, Weed & Co., and behind them is
the Romsh Hierarchy, supported by Archbishop
Hughes and long line of Bishops, Priests, and
an army OF blind unreasoning votaries, with every
spark of Republican feeling crushed out of them,
with not single feeling In common with the Amer
ican heart, ever ready to execute the viii of their
masters bound body and soul to a system that is
as far from true Republicanism as are the polls
apart--and behind all these, under this leadership
and discipline, the new recruits-the Hammonds,
the Seymours, and the Others if any there be-
must take their stand.
We need not go any further for true reflex of
the character of this modern Republican party,
than the speaking fact that it finds its chief sup
port in Romanism-that Senator Seward who was
proud to proclaim Bishop hughes ismy friend;
honor, respect, and confde in him"-is the cho-
sen favorite of the party. Right alongside of
Seward stands the Archbishop. In this Republ-
can party he the only instrument for breaking
down the noble American party that lies directly
across his paththat has in the space of two years
erected such barriers to his designs the means
for opening the way for Romanism to the ac-
complishment of its grand schemes in our coun-
try. No Protestant American can connect him
self with this party, or place himself under such
leadership, without he is prepared to make a
complete surrender to the Romish power at
once. 1t is a wicked falsehood to say that a
man can retain his Americanism, and not be an
enemy to this so-called Republican party. In all
ages of the world Jesuitsm has assumed whatever
guise was best adapted to the accomplishment OF
its purposes. The last change was to Republi-
canism The overthrow of Americanisn and the
supremacy of Romanism is the beginning and end
ing of the purpose. Is not Americanism true Re-
publicanism? Equal rights under the constitution,
and toleration to all beliefs the essential fea-
lures of Americanism. Itopposes Romanism be-
cause Romanism is intolerant, tyrannica founded
in ignorance, and is welded by corrupt priest
hood. Whoever is prepared to follow your Ham,
monds and your Seymours into the camp of Sew
ard, Hughes, &c, should go at once. They can
take neither their Americanism their manhood
with them. Both must be left behind; for in such
a service they would be extra luggage. Whoever
leaves the American party for the Republican par.
ty goes directly into the arms of Romansm. All
who are prepared to go should do so at once.
Archbishop Hughes stands ready to receive them.

1860 there would be bloody war between the
Protestants and Roman Catholics in this country,
and that the Protestants would be victorious. The
war has commenced, and already we see the col
