The following, is a list of the Senators whose
terms expire on the 4th of March, 1857:

The three senatorial vacancies consist of one
each in Indiana, California, and Missouri, which
can hardly~be expected to be filled before the ac-
cession of the new administration. The Missouri
vacancy is the one once filled by Benton, and will
probably be filled by a Fillmore man. The Cali
tornia vacancy is the one once filled by Fremont,
and Fremonter, it is said, will be elected to fill
it, Eext winter. The Indiana vacancy is Gen.
Shieds's old seat and will be certainly filled by
Fremonter
Thus everything looks fairfor bright and pros
porous state of things, should Fremont be elect
ed. Instead of producing dead halt in the gov
eminent, his election is the only means of avoid
ing such contingency. and producing harmony
in the action ofall branches of the government, as
Buchanan's election would find the Executive ar
rayed against the House, and without majority
in his favor in the Senate; whereas the election
OF Fremont would be accompanied with decided
majority in favor of his administration in the pop
ular branch Of Congress, and neither party will
have majority in the Senate, which mnst inevi-
taby yield in favor of the united will of both the
Executive and the House. The House will be
decidedly Republican, whoever is elected Presi-
dent. So, all ye conservatives, who fear non &C
ton, or bad results, from disagreement between
the different branches of the government, come
up and give your aid toward the election of, John
G. Fremont.

Emigration for hnnzns!

The National Kanzas Committee are ena-
bled to extend aid to such persons of good
character and habits as are DESTROYS of emf
grating Immediately for Kanzas. Among the
reasons for desiring an immediate movement,
are the following:
l. The autumn, which is the proper season
for emigration, is already somewhat advanced,
and persons intending to go this fall should
90 at once, in order to cooperate with the
General Government in the call Just issued
by the President of the United States.
2. Some of the choicest lands in Kanzas,
are advertised for sale by the General Govern
ment in October, and bona tide occupants at
that time will realize a great advantage by Q
previous location
3. We do not know how long we may pos
sess the facilities we ho,o offer for a Cheap
transportation through Iowa.
4. The present actual residents of Kanzas
need accession to divide with them the bur-
dens and perils of occupancy against a vio-
lent, usurping, and law defying enemy; and
if these shall be promptly made, it cannot be
that justice and law will much longer fail to
confirm the rights of which efforts are being
made, to deprive them.
Among the inducements the Committee can
offer, are
l A free passage from Chicago to Io,oa city,
MT. Pleasant, Ill Iowa, and free tr0nsporta-
ton of necessary baggage, and ample provi-
sion in camp, for the remaining distance to
Lecompton, or any central point in Kanzas.
2. The use of the implements necessary for
sef-defence; it being, however, the desire of
the Committee that all settlers should live
peaceably if possible.
8. Such aid as may be necessary for sup
port in Kanzas ESQ far as the means of the
Committee will justify, until the proper adj
mlnistration of law shall restore the country
to state Of quiet such as shall re establish
its PROSTATE trade and industrial arts.
Emigrants will rendezvous either at Chica-
cago, Iowa City, or Mt Pleasant, Applica-
tons OF communications may be made to L.
b. Eldridge, Mt. Pleasant, DR.. Jesse Bowen,
Iowa City, or w. F. NJ. Army,

A DoUGHFAcE CAvED INA special tele-
graphic despatch from Boston to the Phila-
delphia Ledger, yesterday, announced that
Mr., Stephen NJ. Allen had gone over to Fill
more, and would make some singular devel-
opements.
If this same Mr.. Allen had been about to
make some developments which were not sim
gular, that fact would have been better worth
telegraphing. He has been in the habit of
making singular developments ever since he
developed an empty treasury in the Cochitu-
ate Bank, of which he was President. Visit
ing this city some months since, under the
shadow Of Nj. Banks's name, he obtained
sort Of consequence and currency. until it
was found that he was utterly unknown to
one of the journals which he brazenly pro-
fessed to control.
Col Fremont has probably treated Mr.. AL.
len with his accustomed urbanity and kind
ness, instead of kicking him out of his house,
as he might properly enough have done.
Let Mr.. Allen now come TO the help Of the
Brookses, Aldermen Fullmer, and David Paul
Brown Let him become chief cook and bot
tie washer to MIR. b, T. Cook, whose lies are
already branded on his forehead. Let all the
mean men 90 together. Crawl into a man s
parlor, then 90 out and back bite him! Is
that the meaning of Fllmoreism? The dog
that steals bone from his back yard, the
hungry thief who steals mutton from his lar
der, is more respectable Blow your horn

silver IN CALTFORNIA-An editorial ar.
tlcle in the Sacramento Union, expresses the
opinion that as fast as the mountains of that
State are explored, quantities. of silver ore viii
be found as rich as the mines of Guanaipato
or Of Cerro Passo, in Peru, and that in a few
years we may see this interest, under the
guidance and direction OF enterprising cant
talists and practical miners, grow to be one Of
the most valuable mineral interests in the II
States. In support of this, the Union cites a
variety of facts, from which we select the fol-
lowing During the palmy days of the Cath
Ollie missions, discoveries Of silver and silver
ores IN large masses, are said to have been
made near some of the missions. The Alizal
mines, in Monterey, contain mixture of lead
and silver, the lead largely prodominating.-
There were formerly traditions of silver mines
on or near the Kings river ofthe Tulares. and
other veins of silver are still known near the
old missions of Sante Yuez and La Peorissi
ma, in the present county OF Santa Barbara.
and Of late years muck has been said of the
Aurora mines near Santana Pass, twenty miles
from the mission OF San Juan Baptisma, but
mineralogists allege this to be only an immense
deposit of chrome mineral. In the early part
OF the year 1854, the newspapers of Calaveras
aud Tuolumne asserted that veins of silver ore
were known by the miners to exist there
But the Alizal mines are the only ones from
which silver has actually been Obtained
They were first worked in the year 1851 by
an old Mexican miner, who, disagreeing with
the owner of the land, concealed the vein
and left the country. In 1852 it was again
worked by party eft inexperienced German
miners, backed by some San Francisco capt.
talists. About twelve per cent of silver was
obtained from the lead, but tie enterprise
failed. In 1858 another vein was discovered,
and in 1854 another

Mr.. FREMONT MAHoMEDAN-We learn
on undoubed testimony that Mr.. Fremont.
the republican candidate for the Presidency,
is Mahomedan We bring this charge at
time when he is unquestionably proved to be
Catholic and Protestant. The foundation
for the charge is as follows, substantiated by
Christopher Carson, Esq, of Texas. Upon
arriving at the shores of the Pacific Mr.. Ere
mont got off from his horse, and taking off
his boots and stockings and rolling up the
legs of his pants, said he would go IN and
wade. The beach, however, was covered
with muscles, whose sharp edges were rather
prominent, and Mr.. F., turning to Carson,
said he would not trample on them. The in
ference rose instantly in Mr.. Carsons mind
that Mr.. Fremont was muscle man, from
the sympathy evinced for those biyalves, and
on being asked if such was not the fact as he
sought another place in which to wade, he
winked his left eye as much as to say ''yes."
This fact we think is enough to induce all
thinking people to vote for Mr.. Fremont or
