KANSAS AND THE EXTRA SEssIoS.-While a po-
litical struggle is going OIL in Congress, of most
serious character, BLOODY one is in progress in
Kansas, exciting the bitterest feelings between
the Northern and Southern population Of that
Territory-created, excited, stimulated and tole-
rated by the present administration. This fratri-
cidal war is reyiving with new fury, aud no one
can foresee how it will terminate. Who ia to
blame for this? Why has it occurrcdf Why Il it
permiuedf Why is Congress engaged in the
wretchod contest? 1t is because the question of
slavery is at the bottom, and political interests
are the leayen which leavens the whole lump
The administration secretly and openly are as
sistng in the further extension of slavery by the
most unjustifablc means, and have dore so from
the beginning. If slavery is the wish of the L.
gal majority Of the people Of Kansas, If they
adopt it as q domestic institution by regular and
constitutional means, there can be no sound and
valid objections to their doing 30. Eat oil right

It's violent Introduction, or the use Of the army

Successor, Mr.. Buchanan, does not object to do

The slavery excitement can be quoted easily

The Whale scheme was as unnecessary as it was
fraudulent. Other slave States win come into
the Union from Texas, in due time, and CORES
ponding additions win be gradually made from
the Northern Territories, where slavery cannot
exist. The balance Of power win thus be harmo-
niously preserved. But IT Is another and very
different question whether this administration and
its iegatee shall force the people Of Kansas to
submit TO the most anfi-republican oppression and
abominable laws, which strike at the very foun-
dations Of free government, and annihilate at a
blow all our guarantees Of personal liberty. And
it remains to be seen whether Congress. at this
extra session, viii permit II to be done by the
use Of the army Of the United States.

Mr. BrSrrR thought, under the circumstances the bin
should be allowed 70 TAI. lie moved that the Senate
adhere aso.
Er. BKrL (ratiouaI OF Tenn.,) said the House had
taken very unusual supplementary and inexcnsable
course. The provio, alter ALL but ab tra Il
dea sirce Congress could control the Executive In
the discharge OF his duties lie hoped the bill would
net be allowed TO ai and suggested asking Commit se
Of Con erense.
Mr. HrSryR replied II he belicv ID Committee OF Con-
ference could sgrte he would consent but the action
the houses the former BILL and the vote Of the
House OF Representatives TO adhere now satisfied him
that there was no hope OF passing tie bill in proper
form. He would preserve the constitution, and let ap
preparation bills ial II necessary.
Nr, Cas-, dem Of kch., regarded this as tho most
solemn crisis that had ever occurred In the history OF
the country and he expressed the hope that the people
too late.

better 70 fall back upon different system of sus-
tanning ITSELF than to resort to threats of disunion
or force. The new slave States carved out Of
Texas win come peaceably into the Union, and
Kansas can be let alone. The balance Of power
would be fully kept up, and that without conflict
or disorder. In one short year, secessionism
would be abolished, and aboiitionism annihilated
Here, then, is the simple and inevitable solution
Of all our difficulties, and to obtain it we must
adhere to the candidate who is Of all others the
most certain of working it out, and that is
Fremont.

THE RECENT PRESIDENTIAL MEErNGs.-The
political assemblages in this city on Thursday
evening were numerous and respectable. The
German population divided between the support
of Fremont at the Tabernacle, and Of Buchanan
at stand in the Park triangle. The proceed
ings at Tammany Hall were tame and spiritless.
The distinguished speakers from distance,
Stevens and others, who were announced for the
occasion, did not appear like actors when IN
willing to face the footlights, they we're conve-
niently indisposed and would not perform. 1t is
worthy of notice that at the Tabernacle the
speeches in favor of Fremont were ardent, elo-
quent and enthusiastic; those for Buchanan at
the other places, were &c lerally dull and prosy
Judge Parker, the democratic candidate for
Governor-a highly respectable man, and in his
proper and appropriate position, worthy Of all
respect attempted justification Of the course
of the administration towards Kansas, and the
rowdyism, tumu!ts and bloodshed it has occa-
sioncd in as plausible q manner as good
special p.eader might be expected to do But
he utterly failed in nakiIg out his case, or stat
ing the true issue. Gen. Walbridge delivered a
great and excellent speech, but on a subject
quite foreign to the occasion, and having little
to do with the election Taking up the State
paper Of Secretary Marcy on the subject Of pri-
watering, he presented mass of interesting
and important facts with regard to the resources,
power and commerce of this country, which dis
played the sagacity and foresight of a states
man.
The General demonstrated that while our
commerce is as great as that of the nations o..
Europe altogether, our naval defences are not in
the proportion Of one sixtieth of the amount,
and far less than theirs. He urged with force
the establishment of ! militia navy, an idea
novel, bat valuable, and which we cordially ap-
prove. AT the Tabernacle, the leading speech
was from Julius Frobd, a thorough German re-
publican, and it was worthy of the occasion.
Mr.. Dorsheilner, the well known democratic ex-
Postmaster Of Buffalo, and man of large in
huence in the Western counties, among the Ger
mans, also made some animated remarks and to
the point. TIE whole affair went off admirably,
and gives assurance Of The growing popularity

D0EE7
WASHINGTON, Aug. "a, 1855.
The prospect for the passage Of the Army Appropria
ton bill is now regarded hopeless, the republicans
having exhibited oday stubborn determination to de-
feat ii at all hazards There was discussion In the
House, but the debate the Senate highly instruct
i've and impressive. While Senators Bell, Hunter, Cass
and others depored the consequences, but thought II
better TO lose the appropriation and disband the army
than permit the House Of Representatives to assume
all the legislative powers of the government by forcing
upon the Senate independent legislation contrary TO
their judgment and constitutional rights Senator'S the
other side Of the chamber applauded the House and
urged them to persist in their action whether it be revo
utionary or not. II now remains with the Senate to
determine what shall be done. they sustain Hunter
motion 70 adhere, both Houses win adjourn; not then
the Senate win not agree to adjourn and herenpon the
House will be compelled TO 60 with the regular order
of business, there Ia strong disposition to do on all
sides.
The joint rules require that all general appropriation
bills be confined to carrying out existing laws If then,
the Kansas proviso changes any law IT, Violates the joint
rule; if not, it is surplusage.
Gen. Cass gave his deliberate opinion that the days
Of the republic numbered. Mr. Wade, Of Ohio, de-
Tended thekcton OF the House. and very abusive OF
the Executive The Senate was much divided on pro
position to adjourn again die The House refused to

FRANCIS r. BLAIR ON JAMES BuculyAv.-A
large proportion Of our news columns Is appro-
priated this morning to the letter Of Francis p.
Blair on James Buchanan and the old story Of
the bargain and sale" whereby, in ls24, as
alleged by the democracy Of that day, Mr..
Adams was made President and Mr.. Clay Secre-
tary Of State. IL has always been well under
stood that Mr.. Buchanan had a long finger in
that pie; but there has always been some mys-
terry about his conduct as a go-between from Old
Hickory to Henry Clay. This ezpose Of Mr..
Blair clears up this mystery, and leaves Mr..
Buchanan in the most disagecable position. Mr..
Blair's letter il long one; but II is the most
curious, refreshing and instructive chapter upon
Presidential politics which this campaign has yet
brought out. Read il.
