How the Army Bill Passed.

The New York Times Of the I'd gives the
following truthful history Of the passage Of
the Army Bill in the House;

This result, it should be understood, was
reached by the coalition Of the Fillmore and
Buchanan members of the House of Repre-
sentatiyes: Every Republican stood his
ground. But the Fillmore men, with Solo
mon G. Haven, L. r. Whitney and Hum
phrey Marshall at their head, threw their
strength into the pro-Slavery scale, and thus
put the army of the Republic again at the
service and command of the Border Ruffians
of Missouri, Yet these men---at least those
of them who are from the Free States
claim to be opponents of Slavery extension
opponents of the Kansas policy Of the Ad-
ministration, and in favor of making Kansas
Free Stat ;. The result shows how little
they are to be relied op ip any emergency
and hoy certain they are, when the time Of
trial comes, to surrender the principles they
profess, and throw the victory into the hands
Of the Slavehqlding power.
This coalition in Congress is only the pre-.
cursor Of what we shall see in the Presider..

leaders Of the Fillmore Party, North O,

his election. But they believe that his vote

We invite attention to the correspondence
which we publish to-day between Baltimore
and Cincinnati merchant, touching thee ues-
ton which is now before the American peo-
pie for their decision at the ballot-box. The
Cincinnatian places the matter in a fair and
practical light, and gives the Baltimorean
more genuine argument than all the $50, 900
Shareholders Of the South can answer during
their natural lives. A document of the kind
produced by this plain, practical Cincinnati
