PRESIDENT PIERCE A FILLIBUsTt.E.-
According 10 The disclosures of The i,::aI of
Mr.. Fabens and other alleged fillibusieis,
President Pierce is zone of hem," and has
actually an interest in ;ne Kinney Mosquito
purchase of two millions five hundred thou
sand acres of lands, (2,5o0,OOO acres -
This will account for all the Otherwise in
explieable vagaries Of poor Pierce for the
last two years on the Nicaragua business.
1t is said that on leaving the White House
he is to make q Trip to Cuba for The benefit
of his health; but we should not be SUI
prised at all if he were to slip down 10 Nj
caragua to look after his mahogany, sugar,
coffee, indigo, cocoa nut, alligator and vel
low fever plantations of Che MOSQUITO coast.
He will probably be ashamed TO go
back to New Hampshire; but down in
the Kinney purchase, among those hybrids
samboes, he may do sonnet hire--he NAV
become a Cazique, great Chief Pine
Minister of the Mosquito King, and even
Governor of G1eytown. We command his
case 10 our three Steamboat Commodores
Vanderbilt, Morgan and George Law.

AMERICAN INTERFERENCE IN EUROPEAN
PoLITIcs.-It is well known ;hat il hes
hitherto been The policy of this government
10 keep aloof from all political qpesiions
which belong exclusively to the consider:.-
ton of foreign Powers. The course Of
Gen. Cass, in the affair of the ijipasi;ie
treaty, and thai of Mr.. Buchanan in The Os-
tend business, were more or less excused
upon the ground of their having reference
10 our own security from foi eign iniefer-
ence; but in The case of NJ. Fey we pe,-
ceive no reason Whatever For his having
meddled in the difficulty between he Swis
Confederation and the King of Prussia. 1t
was a matter purely European, and in no
way concerned with The United S;a,es.-
However commendable his humanity, we
cannot think much of his sagacity in max
ing the attempt; forwe perceive at glance
that he has established precedent which
may be very injutiously turned against bis
own country. @

The Special ElectiOn-..The
FactS-.HOSea Elected.

The poll books of both clerks of the 1st
Ward show that 56S persons voted. The
tickets counted correspond exactly to the
number ofnames entered on the poll books.
Both tally sheets, signed BY he three Jud-
ges and Two Clerks, sfow that Hosea re-
ceived 800 votes, Slough, 223, Fisher, "a,
and there was one catering, making the
whole 56S-5he NUMBER of votes cast
The County Clerks and Justices go behind
the statement made by the Judges and
Clerks, and counted the ,ally marks on the
sheet sent them, and found that the tally
marks for Hosea lacked fen of making
500, and they allowed him but 80. The
other tally sheet of The Ward sent TO the
city Clerk contained 800 tally marks for
Hosea-the number of votes certified for
him by the officers of election. All the
officers sale he received that number of
votes and allowing him that, it cores
ponds exactly to the whole number of
votes polled. Mr.. Hosea was therefore de-
prived of ten voies he was clearly entitled
to. The Judges also state that, after count
ing the votes, they discovered that one of
the clerks lacked ten of having enough tally
marks, and they directed him to correct it,
and supposed he had done so.
The case in the Eleventh Ward is exact
ly similar. The poll books of both Clerks
and both tally sheets, show that there were
SIG votes cast. All the officers state that
Hosea received 511, Slough, 900, Fisher,
5, making S12 votes, leaving four votes
that were thrown Out as bland or double
votes. The County Clerk and Justices 60
behind the certified statement and count
the tally marks and find that the Hosea
talIies lack ten of making 511, and they,
therefore, allow him but sol. The tally
sheet returned to the city Clerk from that
Ward, contains 81 tally marks for Hosea,
as certified on both sheets, and as this num-
Der is necessary to complete the SIG genu-
inc votes cast, Ml. Hosea undoubtedly re-
ceived them, and is entitled in these two
Wards, to 90 more votes than were allowed
him by the County Clerk, which elects him
by II majority.
He will undoubtedly be admitted to his
seat in the Legislature, and Hamilton coun-
ty will notsuffer the disgrace of having en-
dorsed John P. Slough.
l. is proper to add that the ballots given
in both the First and eleventh Wards have
been counted, and found to correspond ex-
acily, in both cases, with the certificates of
the Judges of election. This puts the mat
Ter beyond doubt, and makes the little of
Mr.. Hosea to the seat unques;ionable.-
Cincinnati Commercial.
The Columbus Journal, of Thursday
evening, says Mr.. Hosea reached that city
Thursday morning, being on hand to claim
his seat. 1fMr. Slough claims his seat on
the strength of the Clerks illegal certificate
the facts will be referred to the Committee
on Elections, when the claims of Mr.. Ho-
sea will be endorsed. Mr.. Slough was ex-
pected in Columbus on Thursday, but did
not arrive. If he has good sense he will
not attempt to claim his seat under the
circumstances. What's the matter with
the !Statesman's rooster.

p F Lord Elgin who is said to have
been appointed the British Minister to the
United States, was recently the Governor
of Canada. He is man of very great
administrative talents and has won high
reputation by his conduct as public
officer at Jamaica and in Canada. AL
though a peer of the British realm he is
said TO be republican in his feelings and
views and will doubtless become very
popular at Washington, where he is already
well and favorably known.

FLoop DAMAGES IN ILLINols.-Horace
Greeley, who is ona ''lecture tour through
Illinois. writes under the daie of the 9th In
slant: 49,.
The flood would seem TO have swept
this State almost clean of bridges. As no
trains run far, and no telegraph is in opeI-
alton, [ cannot say how extensive is the
devastation; but the bridges nearest this
point on all The roads leading out of this
place are gone, including those over
"Crooked Greek" on the Quincy Road,
Spoon River on the Peoria, "South Hen
derson" on The Burlington, and both the
"Bureau" and ':Fox" on the Chicago Road.
1t will take al least week 10 get the track
in order again, and hardly a railroad in Ill
inois will be fully restored before month
yei. Report says that the Rock Island
Railroad is even worse devastated than the
Burlington, in some deep cuts the banks
having cayed and washed in over the track,
covering it to depth of Two feel or more.

to the Railroads of this State must amount
TO millions. Nothing heard here from

The Fate of Kansas.

That Kansas is to become Free State
seems now to be the general belief through
out the Free States. We trust chat The
belief will be justified by the event; and
yet it would be Difficult, 10 give any rea-
sons for holding it which might not have
been as truly and plausibly asdueed two
years ago in support of the position that
las Territorial Legislature and domestic Or
ganization would be in Free-State hands.
Let us consider moment.
1t is now alleged that majority of the
settlers in Kansas are Free-State men?-
So they are; and so they Were Two years
ago; but that did not prevent the rough
and-tlmble election of an almost unani-
mously Pro-Slavery Legislature. Howcan
1t be relied on 10 secure now what it failed
TO secure them!
1t is urged that Congress may now pass
an act overriding the Bordei-Rufiian code,
and providing for a fair election But no
Border Rufi,n code existed IN March, 1855,
and tbe regulations which actually existed.
under the Nebraska act, were nowise objec-
tionable or unfsir. They were over-ridden
by the Missouri invaders; but II remains 10
be seen that any more effective can now be
devised.
Is it claimed that the Territorial author
tiles are now favorable 10 the Free-State
canse? Remember that Reeder was Gov
ernor in March 1855, and that the Missou-
rians complained far more of his course
than our people did. We trust Governor
Geary will deal fairly by our people; but
we have yet to be assured that he will prove
more favorable TO the Free Sia;e cause than
Gov. Reeder was
Is it the incoming admins, ration tlat is
to throw its influence quietly into the Free
State scale: We have : superAuiv of
mods, and winks, and squeezes OF the b; nd.
to this effect; but where is the reliable ev-
idence? What reason have we for belev-
ing thai Mr.. Buchanan will prove more IA
vorable 10 freedom in Kansas than Gen.
Pierce? True, the Country was told by
Senator Bigler, on The opening of the Ses-
sion, that he presumed, or guessed, Or in
ferred, that MIR. buchanan preferred that
hatlSsiS SIlOtuu JIG ETee TdlleT tudu u
Slave State; but his Pfo-Slavery masters
have evidently required from Mr.. B. dis
ayowal of this preference, and have obtain
ed it. THE Union thus speaks "By Au-
ihority:'
"We Aaue lie approved Of M. BucA-
onaia, IN saying asdt the .tollo@iag ea;'roci,
from The .Southsioe Democrat, Sic5es cor
recily has position: 5e.7
"'As for Kansas, Nj. Buchanan has nev-
er expressed an opinion, either one way Or
the other, in favor of lis coming in as a
Free or q Slave Stale. He has prudently
conceived that it is matter with which he
has nothing to do, and with which be does
not mean to meddle. 1t is question eS-

Griswold, it. seems charged the Journal
man with having been bought by The Ca

tract or prove, This, Griswold refuses To
do, because the letter requesting il, was not
written in gentlemanly style. 1t. has

not estopped inconsequence. Why don't

Bloody Row.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.
On Saturday, the laborers employed on
the Erie Railroad tunnel al Bergen, N. j.,
numbering abou. one thousand strong, en-,
gagged in q, bloody row. The belligerents-
during the tighl SCI fire 10 their shanties,
which brought out the fremen. Subse-
quen,ly several companies ofmilta'y were
ordered out, and proceeded 10 ;he scene of
disturbance. The firemen dispersed the
mob, and the presence of the military pre-
ven,ed an exiensh hostile opera ion on the
pa,t of the rioiels.
Tie disturbance extended up to a late
hour last night. %
Many of those engaged in The melee
were severely beaten., Two or three were
repor ed dead last evening, and the lives of
several Others were despaired Of Nearly
seventy were arrested and put in prison.

THE New York DEMocBAcY are wo-
fully run down at the heel. In the Legls-
Iatrre of that State, there are about Is ma
ng leaders of different factions Of that par
ty as they have members there. Inacau-
Gus which was held by them some time
ago, to agree upon man to run against
the Republican nominee, they failed to
make nomination, though there was no
earthly chance of his election, just because
Of the jealousies and bad feeling which ex-
lists among themselves towards each other.
1t will be remembered, that in the last
campaign, we heard much about the union
Of the different political elements there.
The vote Buchanan received showed how
well they were united.
What falling off is here in the New
York Democracy. We remember the day
when they We're power in the land; when
they were bold, manly, dignifed, proud
and lofty party. But that was many years
ago. Since that time it has so declined
from great things to mean things, and from
bad to worse, as to be reduced to mere
democratic scare-crow. It's ragged, filthy,
hungry, down in the mouth, down in char
acter, down in principle, and down in the
dirt. From having been lord of the feast,
it has been reduced by its follies and crimes
to the miserable thing we now see it.

RVarious projects to get rid of d

re- Various projects to get rid of the
Canals ofthis State, are being discussed by
the papers. Some are in favor of their sale,
Others in favor their being leased out for a
term of years, and Others again, think the
State should keep the management of them
in her own hands. Adopt which plan you
viii, the State is sure to be f1eeced, and if
our Legislators can hit upon the one that
will open the fewest doors to this fleeing
process, that is the one they ought to
adopt. Were it not for the danger that if
sold, they would fall in 10 the hands of the
Railroad companies and become monster
monopolies, we should favor their sale, at
once. The leasing project, seems to have
a good many friends.
