Pa v of Members of Congress. 1 The New York Tribune, oi the 18th, con tains an article denouncing the members ot Con giess who voted for the bill increasing their own compensation to $3,000. In this instance, that paper has acted independently ot" party consid erations, and the force of its condemnation falls on the heads ofGiddings and a large number ot other Black Republicans Who voted for the bill. The Tribune givps the ayes and nays on the passage of the bill. From the list it appears that of the members from-the slave holding < States, thirty voted for the hill and forty-three voted against it. Seventy free State members voted for the hill and filtv-five against it. Ihe entire Massachusetts delegation voted in favor of it. The Rhode Island delegation voted lor it in solid column, (two deep.) Vermont and Connecticut gave each one vote against it. In j the delegations of all the New England States together, the bill had a majority in its favor ol two to one. Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and Virginia gave (mt one ; vote each in favor of the bill. Mr. Ritchie, of. this city, voted against the bill. Mr. Purvi- 1 ance, who represents the oo r | District, as also j Mr. Covode, of Westmoreland, voted in favor of it. Fpnri a fair review ol the vote, we have | no disposition to prevent the Tribune, it we could do so, from indulging in the following strictures: <>Tt was just forty years agothat the Congress of thot day undertook to increase the pay ol merit hers. Tliev put it up to barely a year, which is about what they now receive, on the average, at the oi l charge ot eight dol lars per day. We believe they did not make the rise retrospective, as the new act does.— Yet this $1,500 a year demolished nearly all who were concerned in it. Henry (.lay, who had not had a competitor at the polls lor some time previous, barely saved himself Irotn defeat bv superhuman exertions, unrivaled ability on the sltiiiipphy appealing to his gieat and admit ted public services, and by virtually confessing that he had done wrong, and promising to do better. Members of moderate abilities ami or dinary services went down before the surge of public indignation like dry grass before a prairie lire. The new Congress hastened to repeal Ihe Compensation Act and go back to the eight dollars per day, which did not look so insignifi cant to their constituents at their lonely fire sides as to the dispensers of millions at \\ ushing to.n. "But the retrospective feat ore oT the new act is most indefensible. Every member now in Congress virtually contracted to serve through the last term for $720. Instead of that, a ma jority have now voted to take to themselves $3,000 for that service. This is not exactly stealing, hut it is a very sharp kind ot convey in?. See if it does not howl down a good many of those engaged iri it! We earnestly advise all parties not to put up members who voted for this grab in anv of the close districts. It will not he safA. "Peopleof the I'nited States ! ask your pres ent or prospective caodidates for Congress what they think of this new Compensation Act, and Iry to have their answers iri black and white be fore you vote for any of them !" It is not long since Mr. Greeley congratulated the country on having such a glorious Congress as the present. He might have tolerated a little stealing in consideration of extra set vices on the Kansas question. Coi. Fremont's Financial Operations. On Saturday the reports of the various de partments in answer to Senator Bight's res iu tion were sent into the Senate, and cursory ex amination of the facts and copies from there cords therein contained justify us in announc ing that their publication will dev.dope some transactions connected with Col. Fremont's fi nancial and military operations in California of the tni st astounding character. Heretofore there has been a veil of romance—a sort of charm—thrown around these transactions, whereby they have ev: I ul public scrutiny : and "while we have S.-.m ofopinion that, under the glare of magnify d achievements and adventures, there were covered up speculations and pecula tions of large and small degree, yet We confess we had no adequate conception of what seems now likely to be unfolded in the full light of day. Heretofore we have hern compelled to grope it) the dark, having on!r isolated ' i< !>• from which we might draw inferences of presump tions, and, therefore, however well grounded they might hav • been, still there was room for doubt. But in these reports the connecting cir cumstances and facts nil appear, like the links in a chain. Tiiev follow each other, and bring the n.ind irresistabiy to a conclusion fata! to Fivmont. It has been a matter of wonder bow a young army officer, with no known or visible means of resources, should suddenly he enahied to es tablish a large ";u/ic//c,"' filled with herds of cuttle, itc., and enter into supplying Indians with BF.UK in unheard-of quantities, and thus be enabled, in a short time, to prefer a claim against the government amounting to several hundred thousands" of dollars. Equally surprising was it that he should have money with which to pur chase a Spanish claim of sixty-odd leagues of land, of fabulous value, the very rocks and stones of which, we are told, are glittering with gold! So, also, was it inexplicable to the uninitiated, who are ignorant of the manner in which "claims" against the government are sometimes gotten up, how, in a service of five or six months, a small batallion ol men, numbering, perhaps, three to four hundred, should incur liabilities on account of "subsistence, supplies, &.C., amounting to more than a million of dol lars. But these reports and accompany teg doc uments explain all. They unravel the rnysle rv. Horses bv the thousand, cattle at tlip rate of a beef a day for each soldier, and "other things in proportion"—such are these claims, nearly ail, il seems, certified to as "correct and just," and "applied to the public service" bv the immaculate black-republican candidate for Pre sident, John C. Fremont But notwithstand ing the skill with which these claims were got ten up, hacked up by the certificate of Lieuten ant Colonel Fremont, and the great influence brought to hear in their favor, it appears that only about $l4-0,000, or about one-seventh port of Ike whole amount, were recommended for al lowance and payment, leaving some EIGHT HUN DRED THOUSAND IK)!.GARS STILL OUTSTANDING and unpaid, ami which we are quite sure will never be paid until John C. Fremont is elected President.— I nion.

Mr. Buchanan and the Old-Line Whim's! CyO n i ab t Saturday, week, .Mr. Bkciia.\a\ was in Bedford, and, having stepped into the house ot Mr. SCIIELI. tor a shoit time, a number of persons called in to lake him by the hand. As he was uliotit to leave tor the Springs, it was remaiked by one ot the company—"Mr. Buchanan, we will give you as an escort Mr. Rexsuaw and Mr. Mm. [lai.ti.ky, two o!d-!ine Whigs vvtio intend to vote tor you under ex isting circumstances." Mr. Buchanan playfully said in reply—"l am very much obliged to you, gen tlemen; but I don't know that I am under any spe cial obligations, as the compliment is to the i-aix cij-lk ot which lam tlie mere agent, and not to jik." This was the highest mark ol respect Mr. B. could have paid the intelligent gentlemen to whom he was speaking, conveying the utea that principles and not men were the motives now piopeiling the actions ol the old-line Whigs. An individual sitting at an ad joining door, happened to ''overhear' a lew words ol the conversation, and reported Mr. Buchanan as having seriously declared, in etiect, tiiat tie did not thank an old-line Whig to vote lor bim, and the re suit ol this eaves-dropping is hall a column ot K. N. tra-h to carry out the fabrication. It Mi. Bucban- an's remark could have conveyed such a meaning, it would have been a deliberate insult to the gentle men he addressed. And will any one believe that gentlemen ot' the character and intelligence 01' Mr. Konshuw and Mr. Hartley would not have resented the indignity at once by declining to take a seat in his carnage/ The charge carries its own refutation, and its authors are entitled to the appellation ol ten cent men in every scn-e of the term !

Francis barked up the wrong tree, however, for the gentleman so addressed will not ' only not aid him in this business, but has declared emphatically for Buchanan and Democracy, as thou sand, of ether old-tine Whigs are doing. The whig thus addressed placed Mr. Jordan's printed Circular and trriitr:u Postscript in the hands of a friend with permission to use it as he saw proper, backed by the ; declaration tha! there are a number of Whigs in his i immediate neighborhood who are determined to pur ; sue the same course. It will be seen that the Chair man's professed love for the dear NATIVE and the COLORED man is only a rtoal to induce honest Demo crats to aid him in defeating a party to which they have always been attached.

How does he reconcile his desired fusion with Mr. FREMONT with the above obligations, r.ow that it is proved that Mr. Fremont is a Catholic. Is there not a de gree of recklessness in this w hole business revolting to every sen-e of propriety and fair dealing ? We call upon nil candid men to pause, consider, and then answer at the ballot box. In order to sustain this declaration, we call attention to the following arti cle- from the Daily News, a K. X.

We can hardly conceive how any thing can be otlereu of a more conclusive character on the pieei-e point of Fremont's Romanism. We give it without further comment: — WASHINGTON, Aug. 2, 1856. A. B.

Russell is a man who will sav what he has said; and he has said to me that Col. Fremont was a Catholic w hen he was in California. 1 spent an e vening with Col. R. at Brown's Hotel two or three weeks ago, and knowing that he had been much with Col. F. in California, and or. very intimate terms with him, I asked him if he knew anything of Col. Fremont's religious views at that Time / He replied that he did ; Ibat he was with iiinva great deal, and in fact might say that he had slept under the same blanket with him for eight months. J then asked him what Col. F. wa-? He replied, a Catholic. 1 asked him if he was sure of this'/ ''Perfectly," he said ; and then added, "Co/.

Frotn the Daily News Aug. 23. | EnKMOXT'S CATHOLICISM has now been so tifclitly fastened upon him by the most indisputable te-timo i ny, that we can scarcely find one of hi- friends pos sessing the boldness and effrontery to deny it. At lir-t, bis friends were vociferous and indignant; but now they are meek arid bumble, and hope to see the subject ignored or forgotten. It only goes to show how debased politics can make some men, who will stoop to deny a self-evident fact, in the face ol proof "strong as holy writ." Keail Carefully the First Page. DC?* The fir-t page is full of interest. Read it carefully—but especially read the masterly and con vincing Letter of RUFFS CHOATH to his Whig breth ren of Maine, by which it will he seen that this dis tinguished Whig proclaims for Buchanan, In speak ing of theletter, the Philadelphia Argus s.iv- : The nationality of Mr. Choate is well known, but even those friends who knew him best were hardly prepared for such fearless and emphatic avowals of thorough Unionism, and such a decided and pronoun ced step. The National Democracy most respectful ly and heartily welcome Rufus Choate into their crowded and augmenting lank-. What a splendid demonstration of the truth and soundness of our prin ciples it is, that the very llower of the patriotism, learning, talent, and virtue ot the late Whig party is compelled, by the mere course of events, to take re luge under the banners of Democracy ! KutusChoate is the peer of the pet rhetorician of Free Soiiism Charles Sumner himself—in eloquence and learning, and his superior in common sense and massive intel lect. Choate's constitutional ideas and sympathies were formed and matured under the majestic auspi ces of Daniel Webster. Having imbibed Webster's serene and impartial Constitutionalism and National ity, Rufus Choate readily perceived the nairowne-s and shallowness, and evasiveness of what dubs itself "Republicanism." He views the slavery question calmly and practically, from a stand point that em braces the whole countrv within its range of vision. Ilis unfaltering intellect always keeps itseli in rela tion with the nation and the nation's common inter ests. He thinks, "not as a Northern man, not as a Southern man, but as an American." 11 it fundamen tal thought always is that, at all hazards, at all sac rifices, and in any event, the Union must be pre served. And o thinks.every great mind. The Un ion of the States has ever been, and now is, the glo ry, the joy, the hope, the political idol of every A tnerican patriot and statesman. That Union was sprinkled with the blood of our Fathers, watered with their tears, cemented ami made strong by their con cessions and sacrifices, sanctified by their prayers, su-taiued b\ their incessant and devoted labors, and watched over by their constant anxiety. Every pub lic man among lis who deserves the name of states man has placed the Union in his heart, next to his (rod. Not that these great ones cheri.-bed any blind anil unreasoning love for the Union. But they com prehended that the Union was the sole and strong safeguard of our liberties, the copious fountain of our prosperities, the essence of our national greatness.— As Washington and Jefferson felt and poke, so speak now such minds and heaits as Rufus Choate. Alex ander Hamilton once said in private conversation, that "to break the Union would he to break his heart." That expre-ses the throbbing devotion of the lathers to the Union—it expresses the de-ire and anxiety of true and intelligent patriots now. The tii'.e of untoward events has, at last, drifted the Union amid the breakers so lea.ml and dreaded, by Washington, and all our fathers. The nation is divided by sectional party lines. The contest for the Presidency threatens to be sbeerlv geographical. Can the Union survive such a fearful trial/ It is time for all wise and good men to eome to the rescue. It is time to forget all past minor issues, to ignore mere differences about finance, currency and public works, and to surround the imperilled Constitution with a cordon of stout and fraternal patriots, where one common feeling and purpose will be "the Union, it MI sr and SHALL, be preserved."

Dear Sir:—Since my last letter to you the ball in Maryland has opened finely, and the political horizon continues to brighten. Full fourteen thousand Free men assembled in Frederick city on the 71h inst. to listen to the teachings ol Gen. Lewis Cass, and oth er great Statesmen of the age. More enthusiasm than was here developed has never been manife-ted. On last evening there was a grand rally in our ci ty. It was the greatest demonstration ever mails in .Monument Square; there was full an acre of people. Without exageration fifteen thousand persons were present. They were addressed by the old war-horse CASS, ex-Governor BIGLF.R, of your State, and o thers. Know Nothingism and Black Republicanism, (twin brothers) was well and severely handled. Thousands in our State have come over to the cause of Truth and Justice. Old Maryland, the pride of her people, whose escutcheon has never been black ened by a dialge ol treason, will follow the example of Kentucky, North Carolina, Missouri, Alabama, Arkansas, and Texas, by casting her electoral vote for Buchanan and Breckinridge.

Among other things be said that the Fremont Abolitlonists now pointed to Washington as their first leader in anti slavery doctrine; but forget or wilfully hide the tact that in Washington's administration Kentucky and Tennessee, tu-o M tavr titatr*, were admitted into the Union. That they al,o hold up to view thei.nnioi tal Jefferson as the embodiment ol their political he re-ie- on the slavery question; but keep in obscurity that portion of the history of his administration which says that it was he (JetFerson) who purchased Louisiana from the French, the territory ol wluch then included that State, Ark.in-as, Missouri, and Kansas and Nebra-ka. That he look it with Slave ry attached, and stipulated, among other things, that the right, of the A la-stefi shotthl / r protrrtrr!. and ne ver attempted or suggested a slavery rtstiict on. That Mr Madison signed the biii tor the admission of Louisiana as -State—that these l athers of the a greeineiit me now ciaimed by the abolitionists, and that the policy initiated by them wasagainst the ad mission of Slave States info the I nion, and its re striction to those ol the thirteen States which bad slavery at the time of the adoption of the Constitu tion.

Senate, for words spoken in debate, and committed a dastardly assault upon hi- person, which brought blond, as he entered the ante-chamber, and afterwaids challenged him to fight a duel, notwithstanding he di-claimed a ny intention of giving personal offence in the language u-eil by him in debate. This fact should be Thrown in the teeth of the Frev-ihonstei s every time they name the case of "Bully Brooks." The reply ol .Mr. .M. to howling, bleeding Kansas was in point. The ciy of suffering, bleeding Kan sas come- from whom? From Fix-Governor Ritner, Thadeus Stevens, and a few more of that sort, who were delegates to the Convention which nominated Fremont. These men now profess to have a holy horror lor civil war arid alledged frauds upon the ballot box in Kansas; not withstanding they are the identical conspirators who originated the famous "Burl shot Woe" for the avowed purpose of treating lhe electiou in the good ohl S/nte. ol Pennsylvania as though it had never occurred! The speaker drew a vivid picture of the manner in which they ruanfac turcil majorities of thousands in townships that could only claim a few hundred le™ol voter-! And how their champions fled froin the back windows of the Senate chamber and hid among the tomb-stones ola grave vard near at baud when the bone-t Freemen of the Keystone appeared at the Capitol demanding thai the Law- -boold be respected, and that the ma jority should rule at all hazards! The worst feature ol the "Kansas Outrages,"' a- represented by the a bolitionists, did riot hall equal the outrages attempt- Ed by Ritner, Stevens, ItCn. The fact sobuld never he Inst sight of, Too, that the Abolitionists are the amtJtmtt ol all Ihe onf'ages in Kiusa-, and instigated them with the view of making political capital for Fremold ! There is no security for the people but in the election of JAMES BUCHANAN. Mr. M. was followed bv GEO. \V. BOWMAN and Mr. SHANNON. The spech of M-i'- S. was both inter esting and amusing, and was well received. The meeting then adjourned with tremendous cheers for Buchanan, Breckinridge, the S'ate ami county ticket and the speakers. The Young Men's "Glee Ciob" of Bedford enter tained the crowd with several beautiful and patriotic -ongs, which were highly applauded. Many OI.D i.iXF WHIGS w ere present on the oc casion, and gave ns their re-pecttnl attention. To this honorable class of men we look lor a strong sup poit in this campaign, and we are satisfied we shall not look in vain. Democrats and old-line Whigs s'and upon the same platform, our old differences bav nig pa-sed away. I Fir are Brethren. MEF.TI.XG AT HOPEWELL, AUG. 21. It is needless to sav that the iron and coal region, with their mines and hard-fisted yeomanry, were out in their strength on this ocra-ion. Bioadtnp was fully repre-ented, r.s was Liberty also. The latter township came with music and banners. Wagons with their loads of voters came in with Flags strea ming, and shouts for Buchanan, Breckinridge, L>e mocracv. the State and County Ticket and the C niou. When the train from Stoner-tou n came up it brought score-of good men and tin-. It was esti mated that 100 persons were pre-ent. At the hour of I o'clock the meeting was organized by the ap. pointment of the following officers ; Pre-ident: James M'Jlheny—Vice Presidents, A. Kensinger, William Fluck, Frederick Oaks, Joseph Morrison, A-a Duval), Samuel Hammei, Francis Glove. Henry Gates. Sr. and Jacob Fluck. Secreta ries—'J'. Crisman, William Avers, fx Samuel Fluck.

Na tive and adopted citizens each lo the other pledged themselves to support Buchanan, Breckinridge, the State and County Ticket and the Union. Hopewell will do her whole duty and no mistake. So look out for the train. MORRISON'S COVE RESPONDS. If zeal he a test of honesty of opinion, which, to a very great extent, it undoubtedly is, we have every rea-on to congratulate onr-elve-, as Democrats, on the meetings of Friday and Saturday last at WOOD BERRY AND PATTOXSVILLE. Whilst, as to numbers, they were highly re-pecta hle, the spirit manifested indicated the firm belief of the Democrats of the Wood berries in the injunction, That "It is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing." At Woodberry The meeting was held at the house of Mr. Henry S. Fluck, the speakers occupying the porch, and the audience seats in the yard. William McDonald presided, assisted by John Stoudenhonr, Jo-eph Barley. Jacob C. Brumbaugh, Henry S. Fluck, Dr. Oleig, Daniel Bailey, Patrick Burns, and John Wisegarver and Joseph B. Noble as Vice Presidents, with Di. Smith and John Potter as Secretaries. The meeting at Pattonsville was in the large and comfortable school-house at that place. Major Jas. Patton presided, with Samuel O-ter, William Spiel man, Jacob Eversole, William Tutwiler, and Wm. S. Fluck as Vice Presidents, and John B. Fluck and William Grove as Secretaries. Addresses were delivered at both meetings by Messrs. SHANNON, O. C. HARTLEY, HALL, and Jos. VV. TATE. The issue made by the Black Republic cans was fully and fairly discussed, the speakers planting themselves tirmlv on the platform that the people of every State and Territory ought and must, both of right and expediency, determine for them selves, at the ballot box, their own local institutions. This was treated by all the speaker.- as the only real issue before the country.
