TIE avowed Republicans numbered not more
than one.fcurth of the present Congress when it
frat assembled. Add the Americans who wete
openly aud heartily nt-Nebraska, and the aggregate
was still very decided minority. Yet this minor
ity has been steadily strengthened alike by accre
tiOn and internal assimilation until it became barely
less than msjority of the House, to which the
juitice of its propositions often gave a practical
prepOnderance. In the Senate Mr.. Hamlin,
elected as Democrat, and at this very Session
made Chairman Of the Committee of Commerce by
the Democratic ascendency in that body, openly
renOunced its communion, and enlisted in the ranks
of the Republicans. Messrs. Seward, Fish, Fog
ter, Collamer and Foot, elected as Wings, now
march beneath the Republican flag So do Mcssrs.
Wilson, Hale, and Bel of New Hampshire,
elected as Americans. In the House, Gen.
Spinner of our State, elected as an Nebraska
Democrat with at least twothirds of both the
Wbips and the Democrats chosen as Americans,
are DOW openly for Fremont and Freedom. We
count fifteen Senators and over Ore Hundred Rep
resentatyes as united in the support OF the prirc-
pies enurciated and the men placed IN nomination
by the Peoples Convention which met at Phlladel-
pbia OIL tie Eth of June last.
But the great advance ia public sentiment is
New-York daily tribune., 1856-09-03

We hardly need call attention 10 tho report
which We publish this morning Of the interview OF
Mears Hyatt, Army, and Daniels, with the Presi-
dent On Saturday last. In that interview they
attempted to secure some sort of offic. :. projection
for the unfortunate Free settlers of Kansas. But
in vain did they represent to Mr. Pierce the alarm
ing state of things prevailing in that Territory; 10
vain did they recall to his mind the murder, rob-
berry, aud arson of which the defensele.s settlers
have so often been the victims; in vain did they
repeat to him the startling fact that the condition
Of the people of KaDsss would be benefited could
they be transferred to the government Of Austrian
or Russian despotsm. His constant reply was thst il
was all the fault of the agtators of the North that
the policy of his Administration toward Kansas
should not in any respect BE- changed; and that il
the people Of the Territory bad suffered wrong they
mUst resort to the Courts.
These are the same Courts, be it remembered,
which have invented the doctrine Of Ohstructive
treason, in order 10 deprive the people Of Kansas
Of their leaders; they have imprisoned these lead
ers on bogus indictments, and have repeatedly
wnked at the murder of Free State men by Pro-
Slavery ruffiaps. To these infamous Courts
President Pierce refers the complaining victims of
these unparalleled atrocities With such an in.
sultiDg recommendation, there was little no.d to
ssk the final question put by the Committee OF
course there would be no change In policy, whose
chief agent could calmly contemplate its revolving
ieataIes and tell the sufferers to 90 for redress to
his subordinate agents, whose very hands had doas

passed out OF theI jurisdiction and has gone before

Termination When the decision comes to be rom
dtred, 1t will not be agreeable either to Mr. Pierce
or to Mr. Buchanan, who stands waiting to recsiys
PierceS authority and continue the course Of his
Administration. That weak and wicked Admins
tfaticn will be condemned and turned out, and all
Its party and irbertors with it And, We venture
to say, when Ksnsas Committee shall agan apply
AZ the White House, they will receive from Pfesi-
dent FRLMONT RECEIPT on OF very ferent de-

rsrec,ico Of the barrier Of 1920 against the nor'A

rcSrec'cn OF the barrier OF loSv sgs'ns' 'pe "o ;"
wsrd extension of Slavery.
Whatever msy bave once been hoped from tn''
"O,fer." 10 one can fail TO zee that 1t has many
become, Whist VT have always esteemed 1t. toot
and COT yenie nee OF the Slave Power. That power
triumpbed in the formation Of its first National
creed at Phisdelphia in June, 1853; 1t trlumPhed
again last February in the nomination of Fillmore
and Donelsou. So Important was this later tn
ur,.b 1,epsd that the Convention relaxed some
what of the rigor Of its Pro Slavery creed
in order to secure it, but the spirit
which dictated that rigor still lived and ruled.
When Congress assembled 10 last December, it
Wa soon manifest that none but an upholder OF
the policy inaugurated in the passage of the Ne
braska bill could obtain the vote of one siogle
National American" No matter how welded 10
American ism " candidate might be, if he could
not and old not 2Dibly pronounce the Pro Slavery
ShibbOleth-acqnlescenc IN the Nebraska bill a. a
inslity-he could obtain no vote from one ei these
National America1s." And when at last they
we're compelled, by the adoption of the Plurality
rule, to choose between q Pro-Slvery Democrat
OF South Carolina Downing thirteen times Donel-
sons number of slaves ard Free-So American,
the most of these Nationals" went directly tor
Aiken. while smaller number threw away or
withheld their votes; not one supported Banks.
Since then the sag of the Order toward the
utmost ,er,Dity TO the Slave Power has been con-
slant and decided until to day We do not know q
single Fillmore journal or prominent speaker who
does not Systematically disparsge the Free-StAse
men of Kansas, blazon every Border RuffiAn re-
port to their prejudice, ridcule all who earnestly
uphold the Free-State cause rs selfish and hollow
ur, tenders, and do more than even the Buchaneers
to misrepresent and heap reptoach on those VINO,
in their eloquent language, "shriek for Free
dom" In the whole Union, there is not this day
journal which supports Fillmore and at the same
fine heartily sympsthizes with and upholds the
Free State men Of Kansas.
We ak tht Sc who earnestly desire that the Ter
ritores should be reserved for Free Labor and not
surrendered 70 Slavery, to look these facts in the
face. Men snd brethren can one of you believe
that party situsted as that supporting Fillmore
now is looking for its main backing even in the Free
States to those who have ever been most hostile
to every phase of Anti Slavery sentiment, and try
ing hard to win the vote of the Slave Ssaes can pos
.ibly do anything toward saving Kansas from the
black gulf which now yswns to receive her Sup
pose Mr. Fillmore were personally FOR Free Kan
sas-srd he has publicly lisped no word Of sympa-
thy for her outraged and oppressed people-That
could he do at the bead of such party BY what

sion and usurpation' Men who think and feel be
entrested also to judge aud act.

The last dispatches from Kansas via st. Louis
wear an ominous aspect. The Border. Rufian
forces, collected mainly from Missouri, are ma
n,uyeriig to surround the Free State men, cut
them off from all reenforcements and supplics, and
then fall upon aud crush them. They mean 10
burn Lawrence and Topeka and extermnste the
Free.Sta men, and we fear Pierce, Shannon and
Co. mean to help them. If our brethren were all
armed and well supplied with provisions and NUM-
tions, We should care less for the great numerical
odds pitted against them; but they sorey need the
gups and other weapons stolen from them at Lex.
ington and other towns on the Missouri River,
though they have recently recovered good part of
those Of which they were robbed at the sack Of
Lawrence. Yet, unless treachery Of some sort is
resorted to, they will not be overpowered without
making their oppressors pay dearly for their
victory.

Fernando Wood has been invited by Messrs.

letter, while il bitterly compairs Of the charge

the late wars with the Indians, by which those Ter

its whole tenor snd spirit, an antpathy Tor the To-
disnf-a mingled hatred and contempt Of them
which, if it be taken, as, doubtless, it may be- as
an exponent Of the prevailing sentiment Of the set
tiers throws no little light on recent occurrences
in that Territory, and serves, at least, to render
very probable the charge msde by General Wool
against the inhabitants and Territorial Authorities,
of determination to improve the present oPpor.

of either mercy or justice, or without any
distinction between hostile or friendly tribes.

Men and women, placed under the same circum-
stances, are everywhere very much alike. Tho
same sentiment are now entertained by the Oregon
settlers toward their Indian neghbOrs, which, in
I6a3 led the burghers of New.AmsteTdam to per-
petrate that miserable massacre ct Hsckenssck, d
which De Yries, in his voyages has ven such
pathetic account ho bimsef having heard from
the Governors hou,e the Shrieks of tho murdered
victims sounding across the icy Hudson; and
which, thirty years later, in 1873, led the women
of Marblehead, in Massachusetts, as they cane
out Of the meeting house ono Sunday, to fall upon
two Ii dian prisoners who had just been brought
in and 70 murder them on the spot We are in
clined therefore, to think that, in spite Of jams
Wallis protests, impartial history will confirm the
judem. nts of which she compsins, and will pro-
nOunce very much the same sentence on the oiia

it has already pronounced upon the early Indian
wars of New York and New -Euglsnd.
