The! Tribune's Washington correspondence
says, Mr.. Austin will be superceded in the Col
lectoTship of boston by John Appleton and that
the latter gentleman will probably be succeeded
in the State Department by Dudley Nom
Sr. Austin is accused Of DOuglasism.
The Herald's Washington cores pondence
says, Callandor. Cashier Of the Hartford Bank,
testified to-day before the Senate Brown Raid
Investigation Committee that Brown deposited
with him, and that he never paid money for
Browns check TO any one but Brown, except in
one case TO Col Forbes 10 whom he gave 5000
on Browns check. This is a contradiction Of
Forbes statement in his letter in which he
stated that he never received money from
Brown.
HOallaDder also testified that when Missourians
invaded Kansas he aud other Connecticut men
advised Brown to 60 there, and he gave him
Shapes rifle and to use it.
Callaader was informed that the Committee
did not care aboRt such testimony.
Mr.. Ohas. Blair, Of Collinsville, Conn, testii-
ed that he made Browns pixies and that Brown
paid for them himself; he knew no otheFparties
connected with Brown in the matter
Mr., Blair is a Democrat, and made the con
tracts as he would with any other person, not
knowing for what purpose the weapons would
be employed.
Had there been ballot taken to day the re-
suit would have been about the same as former
y, no change having taken place sufficient TO
produce result on either side.
For several days 8 report has been circulated
that some ofthe South Americans will vote for
COrwin and thus force the Republicans to 60 to
him.
Another rumoris, that Messrs. Briggs, Riggs.
Adrian and Clarke, will vote for Mr.. Penning-
ton, and thus dictate terms to the Republicans.
Neither ofthese projects will divert enough Of
the friends of Mr.. Sherman away from him to
elect either CoTwin Or Pennington.
Since MF. COrwin's speech to-day it is doubt.
ed whether the Americans will pursue the
course indicated.

Mr. Hale objected to their acceptance on th
ground that the Senate had heretofore refused

required no action at the haujs Of this bOdy--
he made the OH ctiou in no feelings Il IN
Mr.. Lane said ifit was in orler TO receive the
resolution he hoped they would be incurp1rated

Mr. Hale suggested that the subject bo laid

Mr.. Brown 3 resolution that the territories are
the common property Of all tho States came
up, and Mr. Wilson spoke at great length -
lie said that Southern statesmen admitted that
the opinions of Southern men had undergone
great change which had affected ths policy Of
the General Government. The power Of the
slaveholding class was obtained through the
instrUmentality of the Democratic party, which
was forced to carry the hags and bear the bur.
dens Of the privileged class.
lie recOuntep history Of events from the
close Of the Mexican war to the present time to
show that the Democratic party had been
compelled 10 act in the interests Of the slave
power.
Mr.. Wilson pronounced the threats Of
Southern men 10 dissolve the Union in the
event Of the election Of Republican Prclident.
As a disuniOn farce which had been played in
1856, and was to be repeated now He inter
preted Senator Olay's remsTks to mean that
they who favored dissolution Of the Union
did not intend to leave the capital, but were
ready for general collision, bloody struggle
in the halls Of Congress. He would give the
SENATOR from North Carolina notice that should
an assault with deadly intent be attempted they
would be repelled and retaliated by sons who
wOold no. dishOnor fathers who fought at
Bunker Hill and conquered at ShratOga In
the language Of Jackson "The Union must and
shall be preserved"
Mr.. Clingman said Massachusetts for the last
II years had nulliied the fugitive slave law -
Men had to take oaths to support the constitu-
ton, and the laws of that State require a man
to purger himself before he can hold Office
there.
NJ. Davis agreed with the Senator from
North Carolina He argued that the speech Of
the Senator from Massachusetts was an en-
eouragement to John Brown It was the lin
cage Of one who seeks TO carry war into a
neighbOring State. He had respect for sincere
fanatics, but the wcrd slave power in the Sem
ator from Massachusetts speech in Faneuil
Hall, shows that he wanted more power and
spoils. He saw dark vale hanging over the
future. He would preserve the Union which
our fathers had established, but would not sac
rihce his honor OF consistency.
He defended tho legislature of New Mexico
as such as any honest man would give to his
neighbOr.
