ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT REPUBLIc-This mon
ster ship, the pride and boast of the American
merchant feet not only on account of her great
size and beauty of model, but also for her unsur-
passed sailing qualities, has arrived back home,
after absence of nearly two years, during which
time she has been employed, together with large
number of other American ships of all sizes, in the
French Government transport service, during the
war in the Orimea Some idea of her capacity may
be gathered from the fact that on one of her trips
from Marseies to amiesch she carried 497 cav.
airy horses, for whose accommodation the entire
length of the two between decks were partitoned
into stalls, besides over 500 troops and the provs-
ions and forage necessary for the voyage. On her
last return trip from Sebastapol she brought to
Marseilles over 5000 infantry, besides her own
crew. and a large corps of cooks, servants and
walters, required for the Commissary department,
and this too with her hold full of guns of great
size, shells, baggage and the necessary water and
provisions,
In every port she has visited, she has been
thronged with people of all classes, whose wonder
and admiration at her enormous size and beauty
have been expressed.-N. Y. Express.

Who IS IrS Mr.. GUTHRrE9-The Louisville
Lnnrnal cnntaina the following.

VINO IS ITS MR. GUTHRIE?-The Louisville
Journal contains the folIowing
The editor Of one of the papers of this city
announced yesterday that he was authorized 10
offer bet of $4,000 upon Buchanan's carrying
Kentucky. Probably this excited considerable
inquiry in some minds, for the fact is well under
stood that nobody here or about here having so
much az $4,000 of his own money would risk
it upon such proposition.
No doubt we have the means of furnishing a
clue to the matter. We yesterday learned the
fact, and are prepared to prove il, that very res
pectable liyery-stable keeper of this city, accus
toned to figure pretty extensively in politics, has
announced within two or three days that he has in
his possession $4,000 belonging to distinguished
member Of the Cabinet at Washington, whose
name we need not mention, to be wagered upon
the election in Kentucky. Now we have right TO
presume that the $4,000 talked of by the Sag;
NIGHT editor is the same $4,000 which is talked of
by the Sag-Nicht lyery-stable keeper and which
belongs to member of Pierce's Cabinet.

The Cock and Bull Stories from Kansas.


The public recollect how the story Of the murder
in Kansas, of Dr. Root and Mr.. Mitchell, of New
Haven, Conn, was concocted and circulated on the
eve of the election in that city, and how it af
forwards used as the basis of circular, issued
from the Journal Office, to raise money for the
widows and orphans" of the victims" with
private instructions to circulate the false APP
peal and swindling subscription list in neighbor-
hoods where the daily papers are not taken"
The whole story was a falsehood and a hun
dred others, not less vile, have been concocted
since
Prominent in this manufacture of falsehood is
the N. Y Tribune, whose correspondent, Phillips,
has been living in New York, concocting Kansas
outrages for that press This man Phillips recently
passed through Detroit and when there, was guilty
of the folly and selfexposure, of which the Free
Press gives US an account:
He was in this city on Friday, and came into
our Office, mistaking it for one of the Black Re
publican newspaper offices. He introduced him
self as the Kansas correspondent of the New York
| Tribune, on his return to the Territory. Without
dispelling his Illusion, we asked him :" If it was
probable such row could be got up in Kansas as
| would subserve the Republican cause and aid in
/
the intention, and think we shall succeed our
plans are well laid and can scarcely fail we are
determined that the war shall last until November,
at whatever cost; shall be in Kansas in ten days,
and | have instructions in my pocket for Col.
Lane" We asked him some other questions,
which he answered with singular frankness, dis
closing conspiracy Of the Black Republican lead
regarding Kansas, more heinous and villainous,
we verify believe, than any conspiracy ever before
Matched. When we informed him that he had
entered the wrong pew-that he was in the Office
of Democratic and not of Black Republican
paper that he had been addressing Buchanan
and not Fremont man--he was struck dumb W til
amazement, from which he did not instantly re-
cover. When he did recover, he muttered some
thing inqudibly, and ipcontinently fed.
If, after this, Mr.. Phillips SHOULD get shot, We
shall know how to trace the crime to his fellow
oonsprators, incensed at his bungling folly,
AS to the systematic endeavor to create civil
war in Kansas, and to prolong it till November,
which is here confessed we have long suspected
it. The belief has been forced on US by too many
proofs. But the fact is too monstrous and too in
famous, for any words fully to designate.

We understand that an honorable gen
teman in Alabama is making the assertion, in
his speeches, that Mr.. Fillmore gave no coun-
tenance to the Compromise measures OF
1850" previous to their passage, and was gen.
orally believed to be opposed to them so much
so Che says that bets were offered of 10 to
by number of persons that he would veto the
bills Now, it so happens that every promi
nent Senator who was in favor of those meas
ures knows that Mr. Fillmore was exceedingly
anxious they should pass, and their eplosiums
upon him after their passage prove their esti
mate of his efforts. We happen also to know,
of our own personal knowledge, that Mr.. Fill
more used all the influence he could properly
exercise, to advance the adjustment of the diff
ficulties of that day. This is the first time we
ever heard such an imputation made upon Mr.
Fillmore, and we knoW and knowingly assert
that the imputation is unjust and untrue.

50 discouraging to his friends. The State
elections are to transpire in Indiana, Pennsyl-
vania, &C., in October The relative strength
of the rival Presidential aspirants in those
States viii be, to very great extent, determ-
ined by those State elections. If it should be
believed, by the friends Of Fillmore, for exam
pie, in Indiana, or in any other individual
State, that Fillmore ticket has ne prospect
Of success, in October, the question then arises,
for sOhOm should has friends uOte?
If they vote for the Buchanan State ticket
do they not add to his apparent strength DO
they not encourage and confirm the idea falsely
propagated at the South, that Buchanan Is
really strong man in the North? But we
are asked, should they vote for the Fremont
ticketY We counsel no such course. We
would sooner stand neutral and independent.
We would take sides with neither of those Sec
tional factions. We may say that, were the
October elections decisiUe of the question,
sohether Buchsnan or Fremont should be Pres
ident, then the friends Of Fillmore; would be
justified in making "a choice Of eotts, accord.
ing to their own estimate of these candidates
but when it is considered that the question o.
| Buchanan's strength at the North is TO be
judged of by the South, from the results of the
State elections in October, it behooves the Fill
more men to reflect before they cast Their
votes
From all we learn of Pennsylvania, the Fill
more party will have decided plurality in
November, and especially if the Buchanan
State ticket should be defeated in October
The defeat of Buchanan in Pennsylvania at the
October election, puts an end to his race as a
candidate. We are not as well informed about
the final vote of Indiana, but the reasons we
have given above, should warn our friends in
that State, not to permit themselves to be cast
into the Democratic ranks in October, and
thus be made to swell the apparent strength
Of Buchanan, and to sanction and confirm the
assumptions of his friends in the South that
he has more strength in the North than Fill
more. II would be strange, indeed, if our
friends at the North, should be made the in
strunents by which such assumptions would
| be confirmed
We counsel our friends everywhere to re
main firm and steadfast. Let there be no
wavering~ no bargaining-no colluding moth
ing but steady aim at the success of our
principles by a fair, open, candid appeal TO al!
conservative men. Let sectionalists fight for
sectionalism TO their hearts content. Both
these sectional parties are to be overcome
before Americanism can be in the ascendant
and the more they weaken each other in their
sectional contest, the easier will be our victory
Let them tight. Stand by-look on-watch
them-and when either one faction has
thrashed its opposite, then 1ela6or the sec
tional temporary victors, with power and an
earnestness which will not fail to vanquish
them!

Another Voucher.

The Citizen, an Irish Catholic paper, edited by
John McCienehaa has the following in regard tc
Fremont's mountebankism. We quote:
1t seems strange that while the question of Mr.
Fremont's religion is agitating the whole Union,
he shrinks from avowing his religious principles.
1t is tree that religion has nothing to do with po-
ltcal questions which are to be tried in his person
But what his professed religion is now, has some
thing to do with his character, and therefore with
his fitness for office. That he was Catholic
seems to be beyond the shadow of doubt. That
he is Protestant now, his political friends, who
are in his immediate confidence, including Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher, one and all declare.
When the change took place does not appear.
That is the point. IF Mr.. Fremont has honestly
changed his religion, no person has right to make
that an objection against him; but If he has
changed his religion for the sake of the Office to
which he aspires well knowing that if he were
known to be Catholic the fanatics would not vote
for him, then we say that he is nothing better than
the miserable "souper" in Ireland, who becomes a
protested Protestant for mess of pottage. If the
change in his religious profession has taken place
recently, the circumstance is certainly suspicious
and the fact ought to be known, whichever way i!
ia. 1t is due to Mr. Fremont's own character to
make candid statement on the subject
The Citizen proceeds to copy the letter of Nathan
Sargent, and says {" if the letter Is not answered
satisfactorily, it must be regarded as decisive o.
Mr.. Fremonts religion when he was in California
Yet he has allowed bis friends to declare that he
not only is not, but never was a Catholic. The
writer of the letter, Hon. Nathan Sargent, Is 4
man whose character is unimpeachable, and who
has held offices of high responsibility, such as Reg
lister of the National Treasury. He refers to wit
nesses, too, of equal responsibility with himeelfn
