THE DANGERS or SCIENCE

At the last session of the Academy of Sciences in
Paris NJ. Scguier made report upon new dscov-
cry, as important as it is dangerous, and which is
simply this: NJ. Lachard has invented a process,
simple; certain and rapid, by which he can repro
duce writing, transfer to stone and consequently
multiply autographs to any extent. NJ. Lachard
having been invited to repeat his experiments before
committee of the Academy, asked M. Seguier
and his colleagues for few lines written and signed
by themselves. The piece of paper before the ink
was yet dry was applied to blottng paper, and this
blotting paper NJ. Lachard took home with him.
The next day NJ Seguier received two copies, one
on parchment and the other ordinary paper, of
the original, which he had kept in his own posses.
sion, and which the copies exactly resembled that
it was impossible to tell which of the papers was
written first.
In presence of such incontestable proof NJ. Sc
guer and his colleagues could only bear witness to
and extol the ingenuity of NJ. Lachards invention;
but like prudent men, they have demanded that
the process shall not be made public. 1.-THE per-
nicous and criminal art of the forger" said NJ. Sc
guier, "hss made such astonishing progress that it
is useless to furnish it new and dangerous weapons
by the revelation of extremely simple process for
the re. production of all kinds Of handwrting.''

SAD CONDITION OF THE PEOPLE OF
KANSAS.

The St. Louis Republican, (plosla-
very, gives the following picture of the
state to which the settlers in Kansas have
been reduced by the Missouri bandits,
aided and abetted by the administration
OF Franklin Pierce:
"The misguided emigrants who
crowded to Kansas early in the spring,
continue to leave that territory in all di-
rections. They are to be met in scat
tering companies, looking half starved,
sickly and miserable. Many of them
having spent all their money, have gath
cred up their little effects and crossed
the river 10 Iowa, on the way TO their
homes or to locate in some secluded
corner, of the wilderness, or patch of
prairie. where they will be at peace.
Every boat which comes from the
Missouri has among her passengers some
of these people. We saw them once be-
fore in the early spring, when they went
up the river, with money in their pock-
cts, hope in their hearts, health in their
blood and the world before them.

TESTIMONY OF MR. BUCHANAN.

Among the thousand charges made
a9ainst Col. Fremont is that Of not being
in any way entitled to the credit Of the
conquest Of California, and that the
laurels be now wears in that behalf be-
long to others. 1t will be remembered
that Col. Fremont, on his visit to England
in 1852, was there arrested in an action
brought against him as the maker OF
certain drafts drawn by him when in
California upon our Government. The
defence made by Col. F. was that such
debts were contracted on account Of the
United States Government. In the pro-
cress of that suit, the testimony Of
James Buchanan, who was Secretary Of
State when those'debts were contracted,
was taken. That testimony. by the last
arrival from England, has been received
in this country, and is published in full
in the New York papers. In that suis
James Buchanan testified as follows =
Col. Fremont, the defendant, was in
! California at the commencement OF hos
tilities between the United States and
the republic Of Mexico; he there raised
and commanded battalion Of Califor-
MIA Volunteers, consisting of about 400
men; his services were very valusbie-
he bore conspicuous part IN ths coRqussf
of California, and in my opinion Is better
entitled to Be called The ConqusrOr Of (Gt-
iforRia than any Other man" --
Senator Bigler, of Pennsylvania, who
is the confident friend of Mr.. Buchanan
has given currency to SANDER against
( Col. Fremont relative to neeessaries sup
Piled to his troops on that occasion, re-
echoed over the land. Mr. Buchanan,
in that same testimony, testi6es to those
supplies as follows:
I II do knoa0 that such supplies trsrs
necessary for forces under The command Of
tie defsndaaf, and that no appropriations
had been made By Congress to pay for those
supplies Congress could not have an
ticipated that Col. Fremont would raise
a California battalion by his own person.

structions. a-..s ssE-l
The confidence that Mr.. Buchanan
had in Col. Fremont was 50 great that he.
| (Secretary Buchanan) would have paid
if he could. the drafts, although, strictly
speaking. they should have been drawn
upon the war department. Mr.. BE-.
cHASaN says as follows: f
Il should have accepted aad paid these
bills, from my general knowledge ofthe
transactions in California, had Congress
appropriated any money. and placed i
al my disposal, which could be applied
to their payment. though it would have
been more correct TO have drawn these
bills on the Secretary Of War. ."-Clsss

they are ready TO trade; and in additional
evidence that bargain has been arrived
at may be found in the fact that Mr..
G. Haven declines to be can
didate for reelection TO Congress in the
Buffalo district. Mr.. Haven is BY far

mitted the administration of the Govern
ment. He is Mr.. Fillmore's nearest
friend and adviser; and, unlikely as it 10
that he could be re elected, bis relation
to that gentleman makes il indispensable
that he should stand as candidate
And yet we see that he has Withdrawn
from the canvass. This is either con-
fession that Fillmore has no chance in
the State, which is perfectly true, but
not at all natural on the part of Mr.. Hs-
ven; or else it indicates that the bargain
with The Buchanan men has been con-
cluded, and that it affords satisfactory
reason for his abandoning the field. The
latter is probably the fact.
These intriguers evidently think that
they can control the votes Of their re-
spective followers as they would lead So
many sheep. They think thatthsir BAR
gains will be cordially adopted and exc
cuted by the rank and fle of their forces.
They imagine too, that by such tricks
and contrivances as those we have ex-.
posed, they can put down the great pop
ular revolution which is sweeping over
the country. They fancy that By this
system of "truck and dieker," they can
obtain from the people solemn indorse-
ment and approval of the extension Of
Slavery by means of frauds, usurpations,
civil war, murder, robbery and arson
