OLIvER's KANSAS REroRT.--Mr. Oliver of
the Kansas Investigating Committee made .
minority report. II has been published II
fails TO satisfy his friends. Il doeaQhot vim
dictate the Missourians from the charges Of
invading Kansas and taking charge Of the
polls. 1t confesses the fact. 1t only at
tempts to apologize for the act by saying that
they went in order to see fair plav,--to pre-
vent the Free State men from casting illegal
votes The report charges bad acts upon
the Free State men, but it fails to vindicate
his own friends from the conduct which has
gained them an infamous notoriety in the an
mails of history forever. "
The St. Louis Inteiiigeneer says of it,
"We ownwe are disappointed" and in the
matter of attempting to show that there was
n majority of Pro- Slavery voters in the Ter
ritory at the time the elections were held,
and that the only object of The Missouri ans
vas to assure a fair election, it says, "Thnt
''po'nt in the report Of Mr.. Oliver is a dead
stature" Such is the opinion of lead
ing paper published in Slave State in the
very State that furnished the ruffians who in
vaded and conquered the Free Territory; in
the State whose honor is particularly impl-
Gated, and which the Inielligencer has been
anxious to vindicate, and grasped at every
means OF doing so. Yet Buchaneer journals,
organs OF the Pro- Slavery interest, at the
North, published under free laws aud in the
air of free community, print his report ap
plaudingly; find in it an extenuation and
refatation of the facts demonstrated irrefra-
! gably by Pro-Slavery testimony in the report
OF the majority; End in it what journals
printed in Slave States, and interested in
finding the same things, confess their ina
bility to find. Was ever abasement, recre-
aEcy to inbred sentiments, to all early teach
ings and tendencies in favor Of Freedom and
hostility to the institution of Slavery and
the robbery Of Human.Rights, more shame
less, more deplorabley The Pro- Slavery OIL
igarchy Mat rules this nation has "sub-
dued' the whole Buchaneer press of the
North as completely as the rufhans have SUBJ
dued Kansas, or as Douglass threatened to
"subdue" all the free spirit yet left in the
land. Who that has pride in the genius Of
our institutions, who tina. has a free hope
yet left, will not express himself in the most
potent manner that freeman can utter hi.

in which Mr.. Fillmore admitted the right Of

will pretend to call that gentleman Union

in supporting Buchanan is to raise the price
Of negroes-an idea started by Gov Wise,

Humboldt ana rremon,.

To honor him as a Pioneer Of American
Discovery, the King Of Prussia presented to
Col. John c. Fremont "the great Golden
Medal Of Progress in the Sciences" The
medal is Of fine gold, massive, more than
double the size Of the American double
eagle, and Of exquisite workmanship. On
the face is the medallion head Of the King,
Frederick William the Fourth, surrounded
by figures mathematical Of Religion, Juris-
prudence, Medicine, and the Arts. On the
reverse, Apollo, in the chariot Of the sun,
drawn by four high melted, plunging horses,
trayersing the zodiac, and dsrtine rays Of
light from his head. This beautiful tribute
to the merit Of Col. Fremont came to him
| accompanied with a complimentary letter
from Baron Humboldt, Of which the follow
| ing is a translation:
To Col. Fremont, Senator.

| dress you these lines by my excellent friend,

ton OF my Aspects Of NATURE the public
testimony OF the admiration which 10 due to
your gigantic labors between ST. Louis, Of
Missouri, and the coasts Of the South Sea,

(ddns &c petit signe de vis) the homage OF
my warm acknowledgement. You have dis
played noble courage in distant exped.
tlons, braved oil the dangers of cold and
famine, enriched all the branches OF the ma
tural sciences, illustrated = vast country

:" merit so rare has been ackn ged

gress Of physical geography the King or

destined TO those who have labored ct scien-
tito progress. hope that this mark OF the
Royal good will will be agreeable to you at a
time when, upon the proposition Of the H.

thank you particularly, also, for the honor
which you have done in attaching my name
and that Of my fellow laborer and intimate
friend, Mr.. Bonplsnd, to countries neighbor-
ing to those which have been tho object Of
our labors. California, which has SO nobiy
resisted the introduction OF Slavery, will be
worthily represented by friend Of liberty,
and of the progress Of intelligence.

OF my high aud atfuct.onate consideration.

Gentlemeu:-It is generally understood that DR..
Harrison proposes to resign at the termination of this
session, aud that you will be called upon to appoint
his successor.
The importance of selecting a suitable person to fill
the Chair of Ancient Languages, at the University,
can only he estimated by considering the pre.eminent
ability which has distinguished the professional ca
reer of the present incumbent, aud the exalted posi-
ton attained by the school under his especial super
vision. The man upon whom DR.. Harrison's mantle
fulIs, should be one qualified in every particular, TO
reflect honor upon himself and the institution, and OF
such acknowledged ability as will ensure for him the
respect and confidence OF the public in advance
Permit Inc, then, to make a suggestion. which. if act
ed upon, will not only attain the highest standard of
talent and scholarship for the University, and give
entire satisfaction 10 all the uspirants themselves, but
at the same time inspire the public mind with the
fullest conflence in his requirements aad ability
Constitute Dr.. Harrison the umpire, and after a full
and fair examination of the claims OF the candidates,
allow him to recommend to the Board, for their ap-
uroyal, the man whom he finds best qualified for the
situation. or course it would be necessary to con-
suit DR.. Harrison in the premises, in order to ascer-
tain his wishes on the subject; but / have no doubt
that his interest in the University is such as will in
duce him to act in this matter rs tho Visitors mny de.
sire. Hoping you will appreciate the motive prompt
ing this suggestion, aud excuse me for thus i%ntruding,
