treacherous political agent that the Church of the

crosses to his hearts content, and the American
party will make not and meddle not with him.

Palmer, Cook a. Co. and the Nomin alton
of Fremont.

BY the last arrival from California we learn that
the greatest excitement existed in San Francisco
against the great Fremont frm Of Palmer, Cook 4
Co., Of which Fremont is the reputed Co. This
grows out of the villainy practised by the firm
against the State, In refusing to pay over the mo-
neys placed In their hands by the State to It's cred
itors here. The State of California has become,
through this firm, dshonored bankrupt. 1t stands
before the world a repudatng State, for the in
terest due in June last on her debt is unpaid-her
coupons unredeemed.
Although, says the New York News, the State
is thus virtually dishonored, yet she may be
deemed blameless unless blame attaches 10 her
for intrusting such an amount Of funds in the
hands of SO doubtful parties as Palmer Cook, Fre-
mont & Co. All the necessary means to protect
the State and meet her payments promptly were
placed in the hands, at an early day, of Palmer,
Cook & Co., and they thus far haze defraaded the
State and her creditors here oat Of ID. Not one
cent has been paid ovsr. Where, then, is this two
or three hundred thousand dollars? Who has the
money! When it is known that this firm Of
Palmer, Cook & Co. were the first instigators oi
the movement in favor Of their partner, business
associate-Fremont-f the Presidency; when il
is known that Palmer, Cook q Co. are the part
owners of the great Mariposa estate, which is
worthless unless galvanized into life by some one
of the party getting high position in the Gov
ernment, the public can guess where the money
has gone.
This firm found ready .coadjutors here among
the spectators and needy politcians-am the
George Laws and Mattesons and Stewards and Ben
netts who would aid them in the bold and reckless
attempt to set up Fremont, an unknown man in
politics, and, as the official records at Washington
show, a dishonored man in financial and specula-
tive operatons-for the Presidency. They sue
ceeded. In the month of June the vile conspiracy
was consummated. In the month of June Palmer,
Cook, & Co., were here with an immense amount
of the funds of the State of California in their
pockets. This money was never paid over to the
creditors of the State, BUT JOHN CHARLES FRE-
MONT WAS NOMINATED FOR THE PREsrDENcY.

SENATE.
THURSDAY, August 2s, 1866.

THURSDAY, August 28, 1855.
After our report closed yesterday the debate was
continued, and Mr.. CRITTENDES offered bill for
the purpose of adapting the temporary govern
ment of Kansas to the present exigencies Of that
Territory, and in contemplation of its admission
State into the Union, as soon as circumstances
win permit Congress to make suitable provision
therefor. 1t was laid on the table for the present
and ordered to be printed.
Mr.. BAYARD asked and obtained the unani-
nous consent of the Senate to introduce bill to
fix the time for holding in the State of Delaware

the United States.
1t was then read third time and passed

ence on the part of the Senate on the disagreeing
votes of the two Houses on the Army Appropria-
tion bill, reported that there was no likelihood OF
an agreement, without such sacrifice on the part
of the Senate as would make it far better that the
bill should be lost than that the Senate should
yield it's constitutional rights and its own self
respect.
The subject was debated at considerable length
by Messrs. HUNTER, SEWARD, CASS, BROD-
HEAD, TRUMBULL, PUGH, CRITTENDEN, and
BELL, of Tennessee. -
The Senate then, without any further action upon
the subject, went into Executive session. and, after
brief time spent therein, the Senate adjourned.

MIR. Crittenden of Kentucky.

That true patriot and noble-hearted statesman,
John ]. Crittenden, of Kentucky, made a very
able and remarkably eloquent speech in support
of his bill for the pacifcation OF Kansas in the
Senate yesterday.
We give synopsis of his remarks from the IN
telligencer:
He deprecated the adjournment of Congress
without the passage Of some effective measure for
the restoration of peace and order in Kansas. He
was disposed to make still! another attempt for the
accomplishment of this object, and, with view
to its attainment he proposed to repeal the act of
1854, and to return to the old method of govern
ing the Territories in their infant state
BY that act Congress had discarded the lessons
and examples of the fathers and we are now reap
ing the bitter fruits of such departure from the
counsels OF wisdom and experience. The old sys-
tenn had worked well. Why should it not be tried
again in kansasS In the present inAamed state
of feeling in that Territory he thought it would be
impossible to free and fair election for it's
Legislative Assembly, and hence the expediency
of giving to the people new form Of government,
by vesting the legislative power in the Governor
and Judges of the Territory, reserving to Congress
the final power of ratfying repeating their en-
actments.
He proposed amnesty for all political offences
alleged to have been committed in Kansas as at
once the dictate OF equity and clemency. Opposi-
ton to Territorial laws could not constitute
treason for treason was crime against the SOW
ereignty of government, and no sovereignty could
be said to reside in that Of Territory, which was
itself subject to Congress. He did not doubt that
Congress had the right to interpose for the pacf-
cation of Kansas. 1t was as impossible for Con-
gress to divest itself of power confded to it by
the Constitution as to assume one not granted /;
and among the duties thus intrusted to it by that
instrument was the regulation and government of
the Territories of the Union.
II, after fair attempt at pacifcation disorders
should still arise in Kansas he was then in favor
of energetic action on the part of the Government
of the United States. He deplored the indications
which reached him from the North and from the
South of an angry spirit which seemed to have cho-
sen this Territory for its field of combat We
heard all around US the preparations of those who
were seeking to feed the civil war which was immi.
nent, if not actually fagrant, in Kansas And this
was to enter as an element in the approaching
Presidential election. The speaker believed that
the reign of passion at the North would be tempo
rary. "Old Massachusetts," would again emerge
from the shadow which now d.mmed the brightness
of her star, and pledge anew her fidelity to the
Constitution and to the Union.

ANOTHER ITEM OF PRooF.-0ne Of the editors of

cisco, when Colonel Fremont was candidate for
Senator. The O. U. A. opposed his election, and,
in setting forth reasons for SO doing, enumerated
the following as chief:
We have opposed the election of John C. Fre-
mont as Senator from our State. Our principal
opposition was founded on the fact of his being a
Roman Catholic"
Thus it seems that the charge of Papacy against
Colonel Fremont is not new thing, as the Repub-
lican press lead the public to imagine.

The Rev. Mr.. LevvIs,s Expulsion.

A correspondent in yesterdays Gazette
states that this gentleman owed his expul-
sion from Buck Run Church, simply and
solely to the fact that he was member of
the American party. 1t seems, however,
that he and his friends, utterly disguised
with the Buck Runners, had withdrawn
from the Church, and that the expulsion
was but vindictive and malicious attempt
to injure his character.
1t is alike a waste Of ink and time to
write of such conduct as it deserves A
simple narrative Of the facts is sufficient to
gain for the Buck Runners the unmeasnred
scorn of every decent maa. They have
not injured Mr., LEWIS; the condemnation
of such men is high praise.

The American party throughout the State
will read with regret the following letter
from Judge BRIEN, declining the position
assigned him as elector for the State at
large. Judge BRTEN isinduced to this step
from the imperative necessity which de-
mands bis entire attention to his private
affairs.
The cause will feel the loss of his able
services. Judge B. is eminently qualified
for the task he declines. His long expert
enee in political life; his varied and extern
sive Information; his acknowledged tact and
ability as powerful and convincing deba-
ter, had led us to hope great things Of him
this year, and we confess our disappuint-
ment at the step he is forced to take. He
promises, however, as time and circumstan-
ces admit, to bear hand in the contest,
and we hope often to hear bis voice in be-
half Of the American cause.

wolves upon the Central Committee, which
will be performed at an early day.

In declining to serve the American party in
SO important position, am satisfied that my
place can be easily filed with a more able and
efficient standard bearer.
tender my Acknowledgements to the Amer

manifested in my poor ability, and assure them
of my devotion to the principles of the party,
and Of my hearty approval of the nominations
for President and Vice President That the
countrywill be safe in the hands of Fillmore
and Donelson, we have the strongest assuran-
ces from the past history of both.
With high regard,
