have already stated the Free soil Convention
At pttsburg, was designed to absorb the RepubIi-
cans and prevent them from going amor4 the
Know Nothings, and at the same to consummate
their projects without Know Nothing influence
The result sustains these conjectures. On Friday
evening, telegraph dispatch was received in the
Pittsburg Convention from Philadelphia, to the eff
feet that the American party were broken up, and
that the Northern Americans were with the Re-
publicans upon the non-extension of slavery; and
this, IL is said was received with tremendous ap
plause of which there can be no doubt, since this
unquestionably planned in Republican eau

the American councils.
1t now appears that the late dispatches received

CORRESPONDENTS THE DISPATCH.

WASHINGTON, Sunday night. Feb "a
Our city has to-day been somewhat excited by
the foreign news brought by the Atlantic and
pasted on the bulletin boards. AS usual, the tee-
graphic correspondents have labored to excite our
wonder by statements that must be contradicted
by the more ample accounts that are to follow
That the London press is warlike In its tone when
speaking of the United States, is of no couse.
quence as Toots would say; but that Mr. Buch-
anan and Lord Clarendon have quarrelled like
two fisherwomen and that the former has demand.
ed his passports is as improt able statement as
could well be made. Would not war with the
United States on the part of England or France
or both of them induce Russia to defer peace
until she could test their proves in war of two
against two! Would not war with either or both
of these parties prove our most expensive mode of
acquiring Central American VIII not Central
America, when prepared, drop into our hands like
ripe plum, without any effort on our part p
Would Mr.. Buchanan take upon himself the re-
sponsibility of breaking up diplomatic intercourse
at the very moment when Mr. Dallas is expected
to arrive out to supersede him! The news may
be true but it seems to absurd for truth
But, il is said that Mr. Champions ensting ope.
rations have caused offence so grave that his dis
lnissal alone can atone for it. How can that atone
when the offence is acknowledged to be the act of
his government, and when that government has
made full apology for her offence to our laws Z
Mr.. Champion may be dismissed if non-intercourse
is TO be declared by our Government but he can
not be rightfully dismissed because of any demer-
its in himself, or offence which he has given and
not promptly atOned in the most ample Manner
He is universally esteemed in this community, and
by the whole diplomatic corps and all others with
whom he has formed acquaintance. SO important
is it that we should have congenial representatives
of foreign governments among US, that ii is not
only pleasure, but an act of sound discretion to
cherish them when we have tried and we'll ap-
proved them.
The letter of Governor Wright, of Indiana, to
General Lane and others in Lawrence city, Kansas
is regarded bV almost every reasonable man in
this city as just patriotic and manly production
He takes the true conservative ground that neither
State nor the people of State have any right to
interfere ia the affairs of another State or Terri
ay, nU srcb rioht and tb.s
the invocation by the Free State people of Kansas
of the several States to aid and protect them is
equally mischievous and unpatriotc. A. B. G.

GREAT MASSACRE OF Docs IN FRANCE-A
Paris letter writer says-The 18th of January
1856, will remain a memorable day in the annals
OF France, for it is on this day that the limits of
the law expire the life or death of this interest
ing animal
Some time ago law was decreed that after the
lst of January, 1856, all dogs should pay tax or
be killed dogs of pleasure ten francs year, use
ful dogs i've francs. The law made it obligatory
upon every citizen to report his dog to the Mayor
OF his ward before the time indicated, in default of
which the animal would be seized and massacreed
The people were slow in making their declarations,
and since the object of the law more to obtain
a revenue than to exterminate the dogs an exten.
sion of time was allowed till the l4th.
a journal OF Orleans says that more than 200
dogs have disappeared from that city since the
law makes them contributary TO the State. Twelve
hundred dogs in city of the third orderl One
may Judge by this of what is going ON in the 40 .
0o0 communes of France! Such holocaust makes
ones hair stand on end only to think of it.
