Mr. Whtman's speech on Saturday night last.
whlch consisted of long peroration from Mr..
Webster's reply to Hayne, showed that that eel

Fremont on the Mines.

The advocates of Col Fremont, in urging
hisclaims to the vote of California, have referred
to his career of twenty-one days in the United
States Senate, during which time, it is said by
them he distinguished himself by his zeal and
industry in behalf Of the interests of this State.
We give below the seventh section Of a bill in
troduced by him, into that body, for the pur-
pose of regulating the working Of the mines.-
At that time, Col Fremonts authority, on all
subjects relating to California and its wants was
paramount. He was supposed to know more
about the mines and mining, than any other
who had returned from the modern FL Dorado.
But fortunately, high as was his authority, there
were others there possessessed of information,
who saw the error of imposing taxes and bur-
thens upon the hardy miner and the wisdom Of
the statesmen of the Senate at once rejected the
iniquitous proposition and no man since has
thought Of reviving the measure.
1t is one of the many things which attest the
beniicence Of the general government, that a
proposition like this made with the view of ad.
ding streams Of revenue to the Federal Trea-
sury although made by the representative the
people proposed to be taxed, yet met with nc
favor from the Legislature into which it was
introduced. If such be the character of the
measures so industriously framed by Fremont
our state is neither indebted to his zeal or wis
DOM

spective Agents shall demand and receive foI

lars month, for as many months as the appli.
cants shall demand, not exceeding twelve
months in either case; but new permits may bt
granted to the same persons at the expiration

THE KANSAS DEBATE In THE SENATE.

Judge Douglas opened the debate the Kansas ques-
ton yesterday with densely-crowded Senate The de-
livery of his speech occupied two hours and during
the whole time he listened to with the profound
attention. We venture affirm that there was but one
opinion the ability with which be sus
tanned the positions laid down in his majority report It
seems to impossible that any unprecedented could
listen his clear enunciaton of the principles involved in
the Kansas question: and his mastery vndication Of them
and entertain the least doubt to the final Judgment Of
the popular mind in regard the issues involved in the
contest We have heard Judge Douglas on other occa-
sions when circumstances forced him to speak under
more excitement but we have never beard him when
be spoke more forcibly more eloquently. As it
is purpose to publish the entire speech at an early
day, we will not undertake to give synopsis When
Judge Douglas concluded his colleague Judge Trumbu
occupied the floor for about half hour attempt
controvert of his positions. Judge Douglas had
shown by the official acts of Governor Recder that the
Legislature Of Kansas valid legislative body and that
its acts such must be regarded valid laws Judge
Trumbu sought to escape from this conclusion by repu-
dating Governor Reeder and assuming that fraud in the
elections of the Kansas legislature in all other cases.
rendered them null and void and that official recognition
by Gov Reeder could give validity the Kansas legislature
Upon this assumption the legislature illegal body
aud all its acts were null and void And yet when he
came to answer the deductions of Judge Douglas the
runous consequences Of declaring the laws void Judge
Trumbul tackled about and made admission which
clearly put him out Of court He said that unit, the swi
repealed all contracts and interests which had accrued
under them would be valid and that the repeal would
only act prospectvey. But he had already COMMENDED
that fraud vtiated the elections in Kansas and mat
ter of course the Legislature thus composed Of illegal
bers not capable OF passing valid laws Now, how
ever he backed from this position avoid the force Of
Judge Douglass description Of it's consequences and ad
mitted that the laws must be regarded valid until
pealedl Ii is into such fatal inconsistencies that this
champion Of the anNebraskaites Ia forced when be
dertakes the frutess effort Of controvering the positions
Of Judge Douglas.

HARBoR AND RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 20, 1856.
TO the EaiOrs Of the Union:
wish, through your columns to advance an idea in
hopes that the public generally and members of Congress
in particular may be led discuss it. until they bring
into such shape be worthy of being put into practical
operation.
The system OF harbor and river improvements as regu-
lated by present practice ia liable many and very i'm
portant objections which will readily suggest themselves
to any intelligent mind. If however law should be
passed authorizing the establishment OF permanent body
board TO be called the Commissioners Internal I'm
proyements" something Of that sort and to be COM
posed Of the most eminent civil engineers that the country
produce 10 whom each question of this nature
arises in Congress shall be referred for full investigation
Of its merits and detailed reports founded upon actual
surveys scientifically discussed be required of this commits
sion, upon each separately, within specified time
or example at the next succeeding session of Congress
II is clearly manifest that the whole matter would assume
character of systematic Improvement and judcous ex-
penditure that quite evident now when Il is i'm
possible that committee Of Congress should have either
the time the professional sttanmens for the proper dis
cussion Of such subjects.
1t would require great degree of wisdom to see that
such commission should be confined In its duties to
purely advisory function and In wise be intrusted
with the execution Of these public works And Il would
be questionable II any proposed Improvement should
be allowed TO originate with them. With such restrc-
tons these this commission would in it's practical oper-
alton, be precisely analogous TO the Court Of Claims
In conclusion let say that do not offer this as a
finished idea ready to be at put into successful
tce original one but merely as hint cal
cuated TO provoke discussion Of the subject that may in
its turn lead to good results
