Mr.. Doolittle, in subsequent remarks on
the subject, acknowledged the sincerity Of
Messrs. Rice and johnson as friends of the
homestead bill, (see page 1855.
1t was pressed to vote, in the face of
these appeals and protestations, and the
Senate refused to take it up that night. A
few hours after, test vote was had on the
Cuba bill, and by common consent OF all it
was laid aside for the session. Why did
not Messrs. Wade, Doolittle and Seward,
call up their homestead bill next morning :?
The Cuba bill was no longer in its way,
and if they were sincerely anxious that it
should become law, it might have been
passed in few hours. But no; no motion
was made to take it up-their purpose hav-
ing been accomplished, which was to force
it upon the Senate at an unreasonable hour
and under circumstances which would COM
pei some Democrats to oppose it, upon
which they would go before the country
proclaiming the opposition of the Demo-
cratic party to homestead bill.
Mr.. Grow, last week, very magnanimous-
ly read several votes by our Senators in
favor of the bill, and then on what he repre-
sented as the final test vote, represented
them as opposing the bill. Why did he
not read the explanation above in connec-
ton with this vote ?

impracticable, not for want of water, but
because the channel is too crooked for a
vessel OF her immense length. Under very
extraordinary circumstances the passage
through He'll Gate might be effected.
Capt. Comstock thinks that as a passenger
ship the Great Eastern might be run be
tween New York and some European port
with profit, because she would not necessa-
rily draw too much water to enter the
harbor if she carried little or no freight. or
depot might be formed for her the other
side of Hell Gate, which after all would be
nearer New York than many ships an
proach to the heart of London.
A large number of the stockholders are
directly interested in the Grand Trunk Rail
road, and of course would prefer to have the
ship run to Portland others in the Direc.

shall prove commercially as we'll as practi-
cally successful, to make her one of a regu.

They talk of building five more steamers
OF similar monster proportions for the India
trade; but, of course, that will depend upon
the success of this first great experiment.
On the whole, it is probable that the shin
will be run regularly to this port.

LAW OF LIBEL.-Mr. Everett, in the 39th
number of his Mount Vernon Papers, says
Of Benedict Arnold: 81 cannot refrain from
repeating another anecdote of him, recorded
by Mr.. Sabine, which threw a dismal
light on the repute in which he was held
where, it might have been expected, if any
where, that he would have been kindly
viewed. After the Revolutionary war, he
established himself in some sort OF business
at st. John, New Brunswick, which was
principally settled by American loyalists.
His warehouse and the merchandise in it,
being fully insured, were destroyed by fire
and Arnold was charged in newspaper
with having himself set fire to the building,
in order to get the insurance, which was
largely beyond the value OF the property.
He prosecuted the publisher of the paper
for libel, laid the damages at thousands, and
recovered, by the verdict of the jury, two
and sixpence Such was the estimate
formed by Saint John jury of his probity.
CHEERING NEws.--From all parts of the
State, we have the most encouraging politi-
cal intelligence. In the south the DemOc-
racy are aroused and united, and the score
of imported speakers by the opposition fail
to stem the tide in favor of Democratic men
and measures. In the north, the old stand
ard bearers are nobly fighting as of old. We
bid the Democracy of the country to be of
good cheer. Minnesota will not be recreant
in fealty to the Democratic cause.-Manka-

Confession Expected from Cook.

\ correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun, y9T!liag
from Charleston, on The och, says:
"Governor willard, of Indians, visited Lis
brother-in-aw, Cook, yesterday IN Jail, in COM
pany with Sen ator Mason. Mr. Mason proposed
10 the Governor TO retire when the latter entered
suggesting that he would probably prefer that his
interview should be priraie. and also for the rea-
son that anything Cook might say lie should feel
bound 10 testify to if called upon as a witncss.-
Gov. Willard very P7smptiy replied that he him
self would be a witness IN court 10 any facts Cook
might communicate, and insisted that Mr.. Mason
should be present. Gov. Willard urged Cook 10
make full confession of all he knew Connected
with the affair at Harper's Ferry in order TO ex-
onerate those who were innocent, and TO punish
those who were implicated, as the only atonement
he could now make. Cook signiEed his willing
ness 10 do so, and he will probably make writ
ten confession. He told Cook that he had noth-
ing 70 hope for but death. Gov. Willard states
that his family had lost sight Of Cook for several
years, and supposed he was dead, until Upon read
ing his name in the papers, he determined TO visit
Charleston 10 ascertain if he was his relative
Mrs Willard, he states. is in great distress at the
conduct Of her brother.
"Brown still cherishes the idea that the Lord
will release him. He says his life has. many times
been more greatly endangered"

On motion of Dr.. Lowry, Mr. ". A. Pat

The objects OF the meeting were stated by the
Chairman, 10 be to consider the question whether
or not. we should instruct our Representative 10
vote for the appropriation OF any further State
aid to railroads, at the approaching session of the
General Assembly.

the largest tax-paying counties III the State, had
received no benefit from the numerous appropria-

The San Juan Affair.

New YoRK, November I.
The Herald's Washington correspondent says
that diplomatic rules, and perhaps prudential
considerations prevent the Department from dis
closing exactly the state of affairs to the public
yet il is believed that serious difficulties may,
and probably will, grow out of the dispute be-
tween the United States and England, in reference
to the Island of San Juan, or Bellevue, in the
Straits Of Juan De Fuca.
1t is generally conceded, however, that Gen.
Harvey was entirely right in taking possession OF
of the Island for the protection of United States
citizens there, and for the maintenance of the
rights of the country to the Island under the
Pakenham treaty of June, 1856.
The President will submit the correspondence
TO Congress at the opening Of the season, and will
ask for means, money and men TO enable him TO
defend the rights Of our country and uphold the
honor of its flag, at all hazards and to the last ex-
tremity.
The correspondent also considers the return OF
Bir. Dallas before the holidays, or early IN the
session Of Congress as possible.

Republican party. He argued that the 'sirrepres-
sibie conflict" between free and slave labor orig
mated with the Sou h Carolina Nullifcaon; coun-
seied obedience to all law. including the fugitive
slave law, and defended Webster, Clay and Fill
more from the charge of being favorable to slave
ry because they recognized and acted on their du-
ty as sworn officers of the Government. He is
opposed 10 the doctrine of Squatter Sovereignty,
and repudiates the extravagant sentiments promnl-
gated by WerdeIl Philips with reference to Old
Brown and Harper's Ferry. Popula sovereignty
in exercising its power in Kansas, has resulted IN
