Gen. Cameron's Speech. •Inst lafforo tlie vote wiu> taken on the Kan* sis bi'i, in the Senate of the United States, Gen. CAMERON - arose to address the Senate, H id made a few brief remarks reminding Sen ator UILEK that he misrepresented his eon stituents by voting tor the bill reported by the Committee of Conference : Senator CAMERON said : before the vote is taken I desire to say a word or two in rela tion to my own course. It was my intention at an early part of the cession to say something npon the geueral subject of Kansas affairs, but 1 aru, as you all know, r.ot much of a public 6peaker, having bat little capacity in that way, and no taste for it. I often felt disposed to take part in the debate t when I pro posed to do so, I deferred to others ; and some times when I fe t like going on, I found that some gentleman was daicuasiug tire qucstion'bet tcr than I oouid hope to do. I rise at this time only to &av that I disapprove of the pro position now before the Senate, much more than I did of the original attempt to force on the people of Kansas a constitution which they were unwilling to take. The original bill was a plan proposition, for which men might have voted honestly, without subjecting the.r motives to censuro. Tnis I look upon as different affair. This, to ray mind, is a trick to impose upon w eak men, or to enable corrupt raeti to make the impression upon their constituents at home that they have been acting honestly. Till. I should have said nothing on this subject now if ray respected colleague had not been in such hot haste to announce to the Senator from New York, while he was discussing the propo sition that the vote had been cairitd in the other House against the wishes of the freemen of Kansas. His act was so d'OVrent from what I expected from an honorable Senator from Pennsylvania, that I was surprised at it. 1 have always heretofore ueder.-.lood that no mail in the whole Slate' of Pennsylvania was more positive and decided in the expression of his belief before the people, th it Kansas would not only be a free State, but that she should r.ot have a State constitution at all, unless il should be voted for by a majority of her citi zens. Ilis whole cour.-e in life, until he came here, was in favor oi freemen aud of the Fret- Labor of the Northern States. His own his tory was such as naturally to make him an ad vocate of freemen and free labor. Why he h is changed his course here is no business of mine ; but it does seem to mo in bad taste that should act as he does, as lie certainly knows that not only the whole Opposition party in Pennsylvania, but a very large majority of the party to which lie belongs in that State are opposed to this measure, and opposed to the conduct of the President of tiie United States in regard to it ; and I cannot permit him to come here and make the impression that he believes the people of Pennsylvania are in fa vor of it ; nor can I remain quiet, ranch as I dislike to talk in public, when the impression is attempted to be made that the people of Pennsylvania are with Lira or with the Presi dent of tlio United Skates upon this subject.— If the vote were to be taken to-morrow, the people of Pennsylvania, by a hundred thou sand majority, would decide that the Pros'• lent of the United States had deceived then in re gard to this matter, and would prove also that my colleague it misrepresenting his constituents en this grout question. The people of Pennsylvania .-.re consti vntive, and on all questions connected with slavery! they have always taken a i.. )k-rato course ; but, sir, I tell you that if any man, who was in their confidence in the year lSoil, could hnv ■ convinced them that, by any possible means, a constitution could be forced upon too peoph of Kansas in opposition to their whites, ami without a vote of the pe >p!o .Mr. Buchanan could never have no Bed the electoral vote of Pennsylvania, lie ones it to tli'j conduct "1 himself, and the active infln n.e of his friend* nil over the State, a serting that by nature Kansas must be free, and that no man would dare, no matter what his position was, to at tempt to put iije.ii her a ci i.stitiuiou un! ■* her paople had the free and full right to vote for or against it. Tlie President, himself, thought HO until lately. Every body knows that so late as the 7th of July last, he wrote a le'.t r to a distinguished man in Kansas, telling him that the constitution must lie submitted to the people of the Territory for their fair and fiee vote, or if would not be adopted or sanctioned by the Government. I repeat, that I do not desire to occupy the time of the Senate now. I'am desirous that the vote .shall be taken. A majority, bv some means or other, has decided against us in the other House; the majority here, we know, is against us, and it is idle to talk when a strong majority will vote against n*. B IWJI.IRY. —Some fifty do'lira worth of Boots and Shoes wcro stolen from the Boot and Shoe store of .Mr. Isaac II ill, I.ast Friday night. The feat was performed by removing light of glass from the front window, ami then taking such goods as were within reach. Yesterday, two young men —George and J-'speh I'-obcre —suspected of being the burglars, were arrested by Under Slier l if JI NK*, and subsequently remanded to his custody by Justice C. V. Munger, Esq., for safe keeping until the sitting of another criminal Court,: which will occur on the third Monday of the present month. A pair of the shoes which one of the young men had sold at Union, and another pair upon his feet, were identified as part of the goods stolen. Unlike a good many other young men of equally vicious hab it*. these brother* appear to have had no visible means of support, and are without wealthy friends either to provide for their wants, or to assist them in escaping the merited punishment of their crimes. It is therefore reasonable to calculate tiiat in due course of time they will turn up in the Auburn pris m. OlCfgO (rlZ'.t'e. ANOTHER FIRF.. —On Sunday morning In at half past ten, the Barns of Mr. George J. Fumpeliy, on the premises occupied by Col. F. M WILCOX, above the Fair ground*, were discovered to be 60 eomjdctely enveloped in fl ones, as to defy all effort either to save them ' from detraction or to remove any tiling which I they contained. The barns were entirely des troyed and with them nine ml noble Horses und C<>lts, besides carriages, hay, grain, Ac. To tal loss estimated at $4000," wh'u-h falls most heavily upon Col. \\ iloox, who owned the uiost valuable of the Horses. One of the ani mals was a very fine coif, two years old, belong ing to Mr. Chfluiicev Taylor, There is no way of accounting lor this tire except upon the hypothesis that it was the work of incendiaries.— O.cgo C uette. Bishop Potter, of Pennsylvania, and . s 'V'.c and children hue sailed tor Eur '> Coiiditi-m of the Mormons. The Times publishes a letter from Fort Leavenworth, giving the statements ot a Mr. Loha, who is represented to have just escaped from Salt Lake City with a different idea oi the condition of th<- Mormons than that gen erally entertained. Mr. Loha, the letter states, is a Swiss, who formerly held a high official position in his own country, but hav ng been converted to MoriuouUra, took his family to Utah. There he soon became disgusted, ai d watching his opportunity fled, bringing his family with him, and is now in destitute circum stances He thinks that the Mormons will make no organized resistance. They bare no powdef factory, and only one cannon. Their military organization is of the most miserable kind. Ho estimates the total population of the Valley at 32,000 souls. Of their counting every male from 15 to 60 years of age, he estimates that they are not to exceed 7,000 capable of bearing arms—while not more than 3,500 of the whole number, in his opinion, would m ike even passable soldiers, under dril ling by skillful men. Not one in ten of the entire male population have fire arms of any description ; and a large proportion of those I thf-y l.ave are out of repair and worthless.— i lie lias no confidence in the statement that 1 the Mormons have fort'fied Echo Canon, except t it may be by digging ditches, and poising ; rocks to he rolled down from the overhanging i cliffs. Their boasts of mines under the road, ! and ail that sort of thing, he scouts as idle nonsense. In short, he considers the Mormons 1 destitute of any effective power of resistance ! to even the small force already under command of Gen. Johnston, and maintains that Brig-ham Young's entire reliance has Leon based upon ; his hope of being able to deter the United States from attempting to deal with him, by i laying boasts of his ability to wage successful resistance. He thinks that Brigham will not I surrender, hut retreat to the North, after ucs > troying Silt Lake City. ' In relation to the social condition of the Mormons, he gives the most appalling pictures, especially in relation to the treatment of the woman. Most of then will hail the army a.: their deliverers. The letter makes a statement, which almost ' exceeds belief, in reference to the large num i ber of emigrants who went to Silt Lake last year journying with ban 1 carts over the plain*. About 2,500 persons were collected from Eu rope, money to the amount $53 for each family being collected to defray the expenses of their emigration. On arriving at the Missouri river they were told that, to try their faith, God had directed them to make the journey over the plain? on foot, drawing the carts, which where provided for them by Brigham Young's agents at 1000 j'.er cent profit. This was about the first of September. The letter then continues as follows : Here, ti en, they stood, with twelve hnn- I dred miles of weary travel on foot before I them, and the m uv less rigoi.s of a Northern | winter staring them in the face. The com- S nioaest humanity would have inspired the lea ; dors of the deluded baud to stay their step* until the opening spring. But they seem to have been oblivious t) any such sentiment.— ['hey got up another revelation from on high, j m which the travel rs wore bidden onward, ; and assured tint tlii angels of the Lord would j be upon their right and their left, shielding them from harm, providing them sustenance and protection, an ! conducting them rejoicing Into the valleys of the mountain?, where dwelt the glories of Israel's G id !

The picture is too horible to coutemj lite—but my informant states that its truth is well att- sted by many persons who soon after passed over the scene of this march of death, and found it strewn with its thou sands of ghastly human skeletons ! He say.*, too, that among the Indian tribes of Utah white children are now living, who were picked up from the snow by the savages, aud thus : rescued from the death which their parents bud failed to escape. X• G EN 3 FROM PIINNSTI.VANLA.—TiIP C.lU | nous that exploded at the Frederal capital in i honor oi' the victory of power were no inap ! propriate tribute to the official sentiment of 1 that disfranchised district. The beautiful city of Washington is depenlent upon patronage i for its existence. A large portion of its popu ! iutiou is made up of individuals in place, and j other expectant influences. Its aristocracy are the old families who have been accustomed to look to the departments fur support since the days of WASHINGTON. It is the head ({natters of the Southern v ites, aud a House mastered by the same power. It is appropri -1 ate to such u place that such a victory as that of Friday last should be duly celebrated. It was well for TOOMBS to shout, for he was a ' victor ; and is was well for GI.ANCY JONES and I Senator BIOI.EK to expatiate for their State, | though hundreds and thousands of Democrats | protest against the wrong. All this was in i character ; the stage, the scenery, the actors, I from t'ue master, TOOMBS, to the miserable ! sycophants from the North who followed him | —it was harmonious and liappv. It was right, too, if Washington was made ! a scene of official revelry and artillery over j such a victory, that Pennsylvania should be a • Mlent, if not a surprised, spectator of the scene. She saw with undazzlcd eye the great fraud so pompously sanctified in the political metro ' polis, and, unaffected by the threats of the 1 South, she did not hesitate to denounce it. — !

The Philadelphia Municipal election took j place, on Tuesday 4th inttaut, and resulted i in a complete overthrow of the Lecompton party. The candidates for Mayor were RICH ARD VAUX, tire present incumbent, and ALEXAN- I deb IIENRY the peoples' candidate. The lat | was elected by a majority of 4,702, and the whole People's ticket was successful, by large i majorities. J This result is a fair indication of the State ioi popular feeling iu Pennsylvania. Mayor VAUX'S administration of the city government had been remarkably successful—the Conveu ; tio.i which nomilinated him had carefully re , trained from touching the Kansas hsue, while he was sunpeeted of being at heart opposed toLe couipton—yet the fact that the administration was looking to his election as an endorsement of its policy, proved too much even for Philadel phia, and brought about the overthrow cf the BUCHANAN democracy of that city. I FOURTH OF Jury.— A meeting of citizens of | this place was held at the Court House, on Saturday evening iast, for the purpose of adop ting measures to secure a Celebration on the , coming anniversary of our National Indepen dence. Col. J. F. MEANS was chosen to preside, and GEO. DE LA MONTANVK elected Secretary. A Committee consisting of W.C.BOCART, Esq., P. POWEI.I. and 11. J. MADIT.L, was elected to | solicit subscriptions to defray expenses. It has been some years since a Fourth of July has been celebrated in this place, and a gener al disposition has neon manifested that the an niversary so soon to be here, shall not be per ; mittcd to pass without some demonstration of j our patriotism. Tim Committee appointed, will this week J afford our Citizeus an opportunity to subscribe | the funds necessary for defraying the expenses jof a Celebration. We trust they will be met jin a liberal spirit. Unless the necessary j amount is fully and promptly subscribed, the ; Celebration v. Jl n-.v tak.Cplace. j Tbe mooting adjourned until r.ext Saturday ! evening, to hear the report of the Committee; i and should it lie successful, to make further I arrangements !" n r the Celebration. TRANSFER O.- THE STATE CANALS. — PERSON'S i Railroad li ghter, of the Slh says that under j iiie provisions of the " Act for the sale of the j State Canals." recently passed, the canals of ; the Commonwealth will be surrendered into the ' possession of the Suubury and Erie Ilaiiroad Company on Tuesday, the 19th day of May, in stant. And judging from what we hear of the negotiations pending between that company and other companies and individuals, tiie re conveyance of some of the divisions from the company to new owners, will soon take place. Under the stimulus of the bill of sale, the Sunbury A Erie management and their friends exhibit a recuperation that emulates robust health and sanguine hope. Unquestionably the work upon the road will soon be resumed, : and driven on westward from Williamsport and i Warren simultaneously and with vigor. And I so, under President Moorhead, the line of Jiti ; is/icd Suubury A Erie Railroad, so long in • abeyance, will rapidly elongate into territory where its use will work a speedy transition, and turn the wilderness into a region dotted with productive farms.

The Churches returned 1.823 members in Kan sas and 78 i in Nebraska—an increase of more than half in 1857. There are 59 local preach ers in the two Territories.

The murderer STOUT has written a long let ter iu his own defence. It is a curious pro duction. He claims that he might be put to better uses than liangiug, declares that he had not a fair chance iu life, and iu reference to his victim, LITTLES, holds the doctrine that a ; man who was so bad as he had no right to I live. STOUT heaps abuse ou the dead uiau ; lauds his sister SARAH, and appeals in his own behalf to the sympathies of a public which, lie savs, has been unduly prejudiced against him. The letter is iutcrlariied with a series of moral reflections. It is reported that the sister, Mrs. LITTI.E, is in an interesting situation. She must re main in prison until next trial term, (in Octo ber,) unless an extra session of the Oyer and Terminer be granted by Governor. Judge C. P. AVERY, of Flint, Michigan, (formerly of Owego,) has written a letter to STOUT, which finds its way into the papers.— He recalls to IRA'S mind the early scenes of iniquity in which he was led to figure, through the agency of his father, and then adds : " I luad always believed that after the re moval of your father's pernicious influence, you would have acquired an ambition to do well, and wouid ultimately have achieved a respec table standing for yourself. At the time of your arrest under the requisition from Penn sylvania, you had already entered upon a reg ular business, and I looked forward and sin cerely hoped that it would result in your tho roughly overcoming the previous unfortunate influence of your father. But our hopes and views with regard to your case were not al lowed to be tested. It may be difficult now for yon or any one else to say what might have been the result, if our views of your case had been carried out ; but I cannot refrain from expressing to you my desire to hear from yourself your own views and feeliugs upon tiie.se points." The lion. Jo.-iah J. Evans, a Senator in Congress from the State of South Carolina, died very suddenly, on Thursday evening. Dur ing that day he was in his scat, in the appa rent enjoyment of good health. In consequence of tiiis event both llouse3 adjourned Friday morning. Although a public man of standing and influence at home, Senator Evans was not much known to the country at large. Like all the politicians of that State, he was ardent ly dovotcd to tlie interests of the South, and especially to those of South Carolina. His term as a Senator would expire with the pres ent Congress, March 4, 1859. BvB 1 * The American State Council of Missou ri assembled in St. Louis on the 21st nit., and passed a series of resolutions and adopted on address to the people. They recommend ad hering to a distinct organization, adopting only such measures of the Democratic and Re publican parties as shall favor their particu lar views. They repudiate any agitation of the slavery question, and express a desire to uphold tiie union of the States, making that question a fundamental principle in their creed. t&r A robbery of $4,000 was committed in Jackson, Miss., about a month ago, by a fami ly of gypsies,traveling under the name of Heath, and consisting of a man, his wife and two chil dren. Mr. E. Moody, the person who lost the money, having occasion to suspect that the robbers had gone to New York, informed May or Tiemann, by letter, of the facts, a day or two since, deesribing the suspected persons, and also the lost money, which consisted of large bills, mostly on Western Banks. Sergeant Crofts, has learned that the bills were sold to a broker in Wall street, but has not been able to trace the guilty parties further. ftaf* According to a correspondent of the Fennsy/ranian, the Secretary of the Navy lias ordered the 1 nited States steam frigate Colo rado, the flagship of the Home Squadron, now fitting out at Norfolk, to touch on her outward trip at St. Domingo and inquire into the state ot our affairs on that island. The commander of tiie squadron will carry out instructions, which are now being prepared, and a rigid in vestigation will be made, and reparation de manded.
