portant. In the Senate Mr.. Clayton presented o
communication from the President, covering letter
dated Jan. IS, 1853, from Lord John Russell to Mr..
Champion, on Central American affairs 1t declares
that the British government intends strictly to carry
out the Clayton Bulwer treaty, and TO assume no
sovereignty, directly or indirectly, in Central Amer
ica Mr.. Clayton criticised this letter. and the po-
hey of Great Britain, in terms of great severity and
Mr.. Cass announced that on Monday next he should
address the Senate on the subject. An important
debate in which the whole subject of our relations
with England will be discussed, will commence on
that day. message on Kansas affairs was also
communicated by the President. He attributes the
unhappy condition Of things In the Territory partly
to the administration Of Gov. Reeder, partly to
the "border rufians," and partly to the abolition
propagandists. He hints that the erection of
Kansas into State would put end to the troubles.
The subject was roArred to che Committee on Ter
ritories. In the House, y. Fuller, the Know No
thing candidate for Syker, withdrew from the
contest. Subsequently, upon balloting, the Know
Nothings divided their strength between Mr.. Fuller
and Mr.. Mcaud, of Maryland. A coalition between
the Southern Know Nothings and democrats upon
Mr.. Orr is regarded entirely out of the question
A terrible excitement was raised when the Presi.

black republicans being DESTROYS Of rejecting it alto

document was received.
The proceedings Of the Legislature yesterday were

The WAR OUEsTION-THE ADMINISTRATION
SETTING ITSELF RIGHT.-Our administration at
Washington has actually discovered that even
the agitation Of the question OF war with
England is calculated to disturb our CONNIE
cial interests, Notwithstanding such agitation
may be all for Buncombe. The Washington
Union authoritatively makes the following
statement to set the President right
MIsCHEvIous MISREPRESENTATION.
1t ought not to be expected that we should give Tor
NAL contradiction to the various rumors which are or
ginated here and transmitted by telegraph, either with
the view of affecting the administration OF promoting
the pecuniay interests Of the papers to which they
sent. Occasionally however, these rumors assume
character repeated with degree of persstency
which renders contradiction necessary OF this kind
the lSte reports to the withdrawal of Mr. Buchanan
from England and to the intention of the President to
send to the Senate special in regard to pending
difficulties with that government For example, cor
that the President WILL as he stated yesterday
send special message to the Senate in its executive
character next Monday some day soon in relation to
controversy with Great Britain" And again the
correspondent, the next day. said 'The Presi-
dent has assured several Senator's that he will after
further consultation with the Cabinet send to that
body a message informing them concerning the
condition OF difficulties with England, and sub
hitting the for their advice and consideration"
The effect not the design, of all rumors OF this kind
government and that of Great Britain. To avoid any
such consequences, Is only necessary for US 10 say
that the whole batch of reports of the character alluded
to entirely without foundation and deserve sort
attention from the readers of the journals to which they
sent They not only do gross injustice to the Pres
dent but they calculated to affect the interest of
commercial men, who kept in state Of suspense by
the repetition OF these mschievous Inventions
And SO there is to be no war, after all. The
alarm in the Message was false alarm; or
the President, under the influence of Marcy,
has incontinently hauled down his red flag.
Our adopted citizens, therefore, who have
been counting upon an opening for an early
invasion of Ireland, will have to wait little
longer. Mr.. Buchanan is to be relieved at
London upon his own request; Mr.. Champions
case is anything but belligerent; the affairs of
Central America are Gin statu quo ante bellum,"
and there is to be no special message to the
Senate upon the subject unless Gen. Walker,
perchance, should interfere with Col. Kinney
at Grey town. Our administration is altogether
in an amiable mood and Wall street is as calm
as summers morning.

cation for refusing to 60 over to the democrsr
tic nominee; but the withdrawal OF that nOmi-
nee after seven and half weeks balloting,
and the reassertion OF the old platform, have
gone far to justify the Fuller men in voting
for him.
The democratic platform at the commence
ment of the session was natural enough; but
q democratic platform as basis of compro-
mise was poor bait with which to catch the
Know Nothings. 1t was most offensive no
tice to all who did not concur in its provisions;
and as it had been demonstrated that there
was not majority of the House in its favor,
it was an act of supreme weakness and folly to
revive it.
Again we say to the House of Representa-
tiyes, the country expects you to organize and
proceed to business it expects You will elect
Speaker-a true, patriotic, national man it
expects you will give final quietus to the abo-
litiOnists headed by Mr.. Banks it expects you
to do this in spite of the interests Of parties,
and on the principles of honesty and good faith
to the Union. Hyour integrity requires brac-
ing up by repeated pledges-if your patriotism
is of that evanescent material that you cannot
trust it for more than month without renewed
covenants-if your adhesion to party knows no
relief-let us have the election Of Banks t
once, and lie the country prepare for the co I
sequences of your shameless neglect OF the
public interests and honor. Meanwhile, the
responsibility for this state of things must rest
upon those who are instrumental in placing us
where we are.
