Subject—“ZV»e Religious Character qf Washington.” Tire Leotore of Maj. E. S. Ege.—-The lec ture delivered in tho Courl-hooso on Thursday evening last, by Maj. E. Stiles Bob, before tho Union Fire Company, was listend to with narked attention by a very largo assemblage; indeed, the room was crowded. Mr. E. is not an orator, nor does ho make any pretentions in that WAy, bathe writes with ease, and deals in pungent and poetic language. The first por tion of his address was a eulogy on woman, in Which he glanced at the various positions she occupied lu society as mother, sister, wife and daughter. Without woman, tho speaker con tended, man would bo a most miserable. God forsaken picccof humanity, and all right-think ing men, and of course ah the women present, agreed with him. Tho concluding portion of the lecture was a defense of the writings of Shelley, and most nobly did the speaker vindicate the bard, and hurl back tho aspersions of his enemies. A number of his hearers, wo know, differed from him in bis views, but no one could help but ac knowledge his vindication of his favorite bard was able and ingenuous. All in all. the lecture was quite interesting, and gave general satis faction. The next lecture in the course will bo deliv ered by Got. Pollock, this (Thursday) even ing. A New Project. —We learn that the mem bers of the Good Will Fire Company of this borough contemplate bniUliog a large and beau tiful Public Hall, suitable for Exhibitions, Con. certs, Lectures, &c. Such a Hall is much need ed in our town, and will, wo feel satistied, pay well, .To raise the necessary funds lor the en terprise, it is proposed to form a Joint Stock Association, for the sale ol real estate, books, Ace., and appropriate the proceeds of the sales to (he object contemplated. Wo arc con fident the enterprise is practicable, and hope our citizens may give it the encouragement it de serves. Butler Courtt (O.) DEMOcaAr.—Tho above is the title of a new paper Just established at Middletown, Butler county, Ohio, under the editorial auspices of our fanner townsman, Mr. Charles M, Gon.o. As its name imports, it will advocate the cause of democracy, and, wo have no doubt, will bo a faithful and fearless champion of the principles, measures and men of the Democratic Republican Party of the Un ion. It is handsomely printed and ably edited, and with Its editor’s Industry must command success. Mr. Gould is a native of our borough, and a graduate of the Volunteer ofllco, and we, wishing him all manner of success, give him a hearty welcome into the ranks editorial.

Pjxnct’s Cauiuet. —ln a taw days the present administration will bo brought to a close, ajld U la presumable that no change \> ill be made In the cabinet during that time. If not, Gan. Pierce’s cabinet will have remained Ui of fice, says tho St. Louis Lender, for tho «hole term of four years without any change in either of tho departments. Every member now holds the position assigned to him Iho-doy tho Presi dent assumed tho reins of government. It Is tho first Instance of the kind In the history of our government. Gen. Washington’s cabinet remained entire through his first torm, with tho exception of a single change In tho Post Office Department, and John Quincy Adams made on ly ono change during his term, having had two Secretaries of War. .It is a high compliment to tlio present able tb at It has hung together so well, and Worked so harmoniously for four long years. It Is always tho desire 0/ a Chief Magistrate that his cabinet should bo n «rti7, and no one has been more fortunate In that respect than Presi dent Pierce. • Kmcctiok of State Thkaburkh,—Doth bran che*of tho Legislature have agreed to go Into *D'election for Bialo Treasurer on (ho 1 111) of J March. | IDE ELECTION NEXT Flit.- As a State Convention of the Democratic party will shortly at thO Capitol, to place In nomination candidates for Governor, Canal Commissioner, and Court, It may not bo deemed out of place to re fer to tho importance of having a good Stale ticket presented for tho support of tho people. Wo may put it down ns a fixed foot that tho en emies of Democracy will bo united *n support of a black Republican and Know-Nothing tick et, and will make a most desperate effort to oloct It. Such being tho ease, how important It is that tho Democracy should hnvo a ticket com posed of tho strongest men to bo found, and whoso political and moral characters aro unim pcachcd and unimpeachable? Wo sincerely hope the gentlemen composing tho State Con vention will ponder tho subject well boloru they cast their votes. With a good ticket wo have nothing to fear —wo will go Into the contest san guine of success. But il, during the campaign, tho Democracy arc placed on tho defensive, if wo aro to bo engaged in explaining and defending tho fdrmcr public and private acts of our candi dates, wo will find it an up-hill business, as well as a very serious obstacle to our success. IVo repeat, let tho Delegates composing tho State Convention weigh tho matter well—lot them ex ercise their own judgment ns (o whom they should support, and refuse to be governed by the bargainors and sellers who Infest our ranks. DEFEAT, OB FRAUD. The factions which aro at present making war upon the Democratic par.ty, says the Som erset Democrat, hare never yet achieved a sin gle victory, without using the basest and most dishonorable means. Facts arc daily unveiled in regard to the mode of canvassing which brought about the heavy Fremont majorities in the New England Slates, which will leave a slain on the annals of Vankec-land, but a shade lighter than that of the Salem witchcraft.— That the persuasive voice of cunning and abas ed preachers had much to do with the politics of New England, during the last few years, no one will deny. That a vast majority of these political d'vincs entered the arena of politics, actuated by impure motives—moved by their lust for notoriety, worldly associations, wine and women—no one dares deny. The case of the Rev. I, S. Kalloch, of Boston, Mass., about which there is at present so much excitement, is on instoncc of the degradation to which these apostates from the Cause of the Redeemer, have come. This man. pretending to preach “Christ and Him Crucified,” with the white robes of Christian purity hiding his leprosy , within, travelled from place to place, during the late Presidential campaign, making Fre mont speeches, and uttering his Anathema Maranalha against his brolhem of the South. He denounced the system of concubinage which he said slavery sustains, and argued principal ly from moral premises In favor of his candi date. The debauchery of the human heart and the weakening of the better nature of our spe cies, through Ihc’infliienco of slavery, were his constant theme. Bitterly did ho inveigh against the "vices of the Demociatic party” and artfully did he dissuade those who believed in its doctrines, from supporting its candidates, saying it was serving Apollyon—it was enlis ting with the Devil—to do so. But the voice of the People shouts damnation in his cars, and he betakes himself back to his unsuspecting congregation in Tremont Temple. Ho has earned himself money, fame and friendship.— J So well has he succeeded in playing his game |of humbug and fraud, that he makes another venture, and in this strives to sound (he dar r kest, foulest depths of human infamy, fie meets the wife of a fellow husband and in defl mice of the laws of God and Man, commits the . culminatingact in the long category of his deeds , of shame. And. now, the poor, deluded be- ( mgs whom this prrat moral reformer blmd-fol- , ded and cheated at his pleasure, arc left to de plore the inconsiderate confidence which they reposed in his honesty and probity. Let them bear in mind, hereafter, that when the Church, or those connected therewith exclusively, dab-1 blc in politics, there is something rotten in the I institution, or in the instituted, which demands j an immediate investigation. The history of the Fast, shows significantly enough, how easy the doctrines of equality and fraternity preach ed by our Saviour, can be made the ground work of lyratty and slavery. The preacher ex- | erts an influence, on account of the sanctity of his office, which is unparalleled by that of any I other class of persons. If he chooses to pollute ] his lip with a he. if there is the least snadow of; probability about it, the unsuspecting lambs i of bis flock at once believe it as truth. They j consider their shepherd infallible, and, there- j fore, what Am tongue ultcrelh, who shall gain- ! say 1 Poisonous though it be, the draught I proffered by the minister's hand, is but seldom | refused by the simple ami honest lawman, to whom it is exlemhd. Thus it is that well disposed and harmless persons often imbibe dangerous prejudices nod become the very op posite of tlwir former selves; fanatic instead of quiet and rerohrliormry instead of patriotic.— Thus it is that New England has been trans formed from the sober ' land of steady habits,” into the wild and (utbulcnl seat of noisy and noxious Mfj ami isms. Thus it is that the doc trines of Democracy have been uprooted in the land of the Pilgrim Fathers and that once hal lowed ground has been made a huge mortar from which arc thrown the bomb-shells and red-hot-shot of hatred against our sister com munities south of Mason & Dixon’s line. -The But we hare digressed. Wo meant but to show that Know-Nothing-Blaok-Rcpubllcanism has never yet triumphed, unless through un fair means. To this fhet, Jet priest-ridden 1 New England bear witness. Of this, lot the Rev. Ike Kollock, the Fremont preacher and Boston Adulterer, with tho damning sin of hy pocrisy on his soul, stand ns an illustration.— Of this let the New York preachers (who held prayer-meetings in their churches on the morn ing of Election day, praying for the success of Fremont) abundantly testify. Of this lot the I treachery and’ the midnight assassinations of Know-Nothingism speak. Of this let the dot. liars of Cameron give ovfdtnco as they jingle in tho pockets of Lebo, Wagonsellcr and Mcncar. Of this tht the-consciences of those who belong to this party of fag-ends, and who know and see tho dishonesty ond dlshonorablcncss with which their wire-pullers operate—let the con sciences of such (if they do not lack the article) ( tell of tins the most deeply morked feature of modern anli-Democraey. i (£7* An unsuccessful lover was asked by what means holiad lost hiaswcolhart. ‘Alas !' said, ho ‘I flattered her until she was 100 proud to speak to me.’ COBBDTTION IN CONGBESS—BEPOBT OF TEE COMMITTEE, ■ Americans Ruling America 37ie Ki/tains Exposed!- Great Excilcfngnt {ft the Black Republican Camp ! Attempt of the Republi cans to Screen the Culprits, Four Rulets of America U) be Expelled from the House, ifc. We have always contended that the Know- Nothing alias Black Republican party, was cor rupt to the core, miff tfc fftffg since predicted that tho demagogues who stole into official sta tion, through those villainous organizations, would causc{ their constituents to blush with shame. The cry of “Americans must rule America,” was used by men who were intent upon robbery, and whoso black hearts were festering with corruption. Wo have not the least doubt, if the truth could be got at, that at least ono-half of the Know-Nothing and Black Republican members of Congress arc bribed men. Four of them only have been ex posed, and it is a matter of regret to honest men that all the guilty cannot be ferreted out. and held up to tfic public gaze. But, to a his tory of the corruption and the Report of the Committee. For most of the statements below we are indebted to tho Philadelphia Daily Netos, a Know-Nothing paper. From the very lengthy report of the Investigating Committee, the News sifts out the facts and conclusions os pre sented. On the 9th of January lost, Mr. Kblset, Black Republican member of Congacss from New York, called the attention of the House to an editorial article, and a letter from Washing ton. in the New York Daily Times, asserting the knowledge of a corrupt organization of members of Congress and lobby rigentsatWash ington. with power in fts hands sufficient, in most instances, to kill or pass any measure pending, and, after havlttg Called attention to those publications, fallowed It up by oficring a resolution for the appointment of a Committee 1 to inquire into the truth thereof. The resolu tion was adopted, and the Speaker appointed a Committee, consisting of men all of whom, ex cept perhaps Mr. Kelsey, (whose right to be placed at the head of It he Could not disregard,) are above reproach, and without suspicion.— The Committee thus appointed, consisting of Mr. Kelsey, of New York, Mr. Orr, of South Carolina, Mr. Davis, of Maryland, Mr. Warner, of Georgia, and Mr. Ritchie of Pennsylvania, immediately entered upon the discharge of the duty assigned to it. Well knowing that the movement of Mr. Kel sey was very generally regarded as a mere ruse, to divert public attention from the guilty con duct of some of bis ftllow-Ropublicans with whom he was on terms of intimacy, the Speak er acted in a most praisetyorthy manner in con stituting the Committee of honest, bold and fearless spirits who would lend themselves to no other purpose than the cause of truth and jus lice. After a most laborious examination of a great number of witnesses, the Committee con- * eluded its labor, and has made a rejsjrl thereof. | All but Mr. Kelsey recommend thccxpulsion of 0. B. Matteson, member from New York, Wm. *A. Gilbert, member from New York, Francis S. Edwards, of New York, and Dr. W. W. Welch, of Connecticut. The Committee, it appears, divided their labors, by referring to each member of it the evidence in regard to one of those reebmmended to bo expelled.' Thus, the evidence in regard to Wm. A, Gilbert was referred to Mr. 11. Winter Davis, who made a report on Thursday in (hat case, staring and commenting upon the testimony, and conclu ding with a resolution for the expulsion of Mr. Gilbert. He asked that it should be read and printed, but the consideration postponed until londny next: but. tell it not in Oath ! a voice was heard, “I object,” and that voice came Gnlusha A. Grow, the Republican member from the Wilmot District, who, It will be remember ed, was one of the favored members of Con gress. a year or two since, who had frce-bcrlhs in the Collins’ line of steamers to enjoy a trip to Europe. A lelegraphic despatch states that “a thousand eves were turned upon him,” and though it dors not say they were “eyes of sus picion,” it might not have violated- truth in do ing so. According to nil the accounts we lm»c, Mr. (tow and Mr Bennett, a Republican member, from New \ork, came to the House with a de termination to pretent both the exposure and expulsion of their Republican colleagues, and did llieir best to accomplish (heir object. Mr. (now. who is no Solomon, either at a legislator or lawyer, persisted in objecting to the reading of the report, and cited authority after author ity to sustain Ins position, showing clearly that he came fully prepared and determined to moke a bold and bhanuless effort to smotlier the truth. His conduct catmoi be 100 severely con demned; and if it be true that he has acted In this manner, ns ( lie spokesman of the Republi cans, and that they have, as we see it staled, determined to defeat the publication of the ex posure of their corrupt Republican colleagues, ami to resist with all their might tho expulsion of them, then we con only say that they have undertaken a task which will consign them and their party to certain ignominy and destruc tion. Special pettifogging, pleading to save corrupt members, hko that resorted to by Grow, Ben nett, Wakcman and Kunkd, will be spurned I by the people: and we arc glad to notice that Mr. Allison, of this State, and Mr. Galloway, of Ohio, though both Republicans, washed their hands from the dirty business attempted by Grow and Bennett. Mr. Allison said that the course of Mr. Gilbert'a friends was such as to confirm tho World in the opinion of his guilt, and he was scorchingly severe upon Grow, whose conduct ho condemned in tho most deci ded manner. Mr. Galloway agreed with Mr. Allison. Uc declared ho would not have his honor and character compromised by tho action of his parly in (his matter. Ho would not re aorl to petty quibbling to stove off tho report, | but defended tho actiomof.thc Committee, who, ho said, deserved the thanks of the country for the manner they discharged their duty. Tho course pursued by Messrs. Allison and Galloway, is that which the people will expect from every honest member of Congress ; and those who may have a disposition to imitate the example of Grow and Bennett, will do well to heed public sentiment, and not attempt thus to smother truth, ond shield guilty offenders. Tho public will make no disciTminatibir, and know no difference, between those who arc reported guilty of bribery and corruption and thosewho, by the into-position of petty quibbles, seek to shield, and save them from expulsion; and those ■ I l !°, Fft 0 thcmsplvos active in Attempting so to I shield them will, by common acclaim, bo get down in the public estimation, as no better than they ought to be, and as moat likely deserving of the samo marie of condemnation, as those arc whom -they seek to save from punishment and disgrace, i To thoso wlio have ho personal knowledge of men and'things at Washington,'as they arc, these revelations of corrupt conduct of mem bers will appear almost incredible. Such, will not, however, be the case with those intimately acquainted with the general character and de portment of many of those members, and who are entirely familiar with the manner legisla tion is carried on there. Those who have a full knowledge of things there as they arc, and not as they are made to appear to the public, will not in the least tic surprised at the answer made by Triplett, in reply to a question put by Mr. Orr, whtn beforo the Committee of Investiga tion. To use the language of that witness, we suppose “theroiB-.no body who knows the or ganization of Congress, who expects to carry anything through it, merely from the love of justice.” Suchjs emphatically “Lhtugcncral reputation of' Congress” among those who en- joy the best opportunity to judge its real char acter, and they will consequently not bo sur prised at the revelations made, but rather won der how the corrupt conduct of others, not ex posed by tnc Committee, escaped their search ing scrutiny. There arc some most remarkable facts ex posed by the Committee, not the least impor tant of which is manner in which Philosopher Greeley is connected in these bri bery transactions, and his neglect to appear before tho Committee, and clear himself of a guilty knowledge of,-them. We subjoin tho resolutions. They show the conduct of each member charged on which the recommendation of expulsion is based. The report reviews the testimony in the ease of Mr. Gilbert, and concludes by offering the following resolutions: Resolved, That William A. Gilbert, a mem-1 her Of the House from New York, did agree with F. P. 0. Triplett to procure the passage of a resolution or bill through the present Con gress for the purchase by Congress of Certain copies of tho book oT the SAid Triplett oir the Pension and Bounty'Wnd Laws, in considera tion that the saldTripletl should allow him to receive a certain sum of money out of the ap propriation for the purchase of the book. > Resolved, That vftlham A, Gilbert did cast his vote on thelowa Lond Bill depending here tofore before t.is Congress for a corrupt con sideration, consisting of seven square miles of land and some slock given, or to be given, to him.

Titus, withTiis recruits, went up tho riv er witli Col. Lockridge, and took a position op posite tlie enemy nt Soriplpnguo. Col. Lockridge has made all necessary ar rangements and tbo attack was to bo made on the day tho Tennessee left. Col. Lockrldgo’s force is stated at 550 men, and that of the Costa Ricans at 800. The affairs nt Rivas and St. George, between Gen. Ilomiingsen’s command and the Costa Ri can's, differ from the accounts brought by tho Texas, in the fight near Rivas, Capt. Phinney was killed, nnd the Americans suffered other losses; but it does not appear which party was victorious. Gen. Hennlngsen’s attack*on St. George was made with 400 men, tho enemy hav. ing, ns slated, 1 -300. After several Honrs* fighting, Gon. Henning sen retired, ns stated, with inconsiderable loss, excepting that several of his officers were mor tally wounded, including Colonel Jacques and Major Dnsenbeny. Tho Costa Rican loss is supposed to be great. Gen. Bosquet was killed.

He was then at San Juan del Snr with 300 men. He had established his head quarters at Rivas, ami was concentrating all his force there, amounting to 800 men. Oim Forkuin Relations. —The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, in his letter of Ihe 2IM inst., thus speaks of a difficulty our government is likely to get into with Franco and England : An ugly phase of our foreign relations, has i come to light, within ft day or two, having a strong hearing on the Nicaragua question. Thu French Envoy, Mr. Sarliges, has presen ted hy order of his government, a claim for los ses Ity French subjects through the destruction of Oreytown. .England tins claims ft/so, but, having In ft measure, possession of Oreytown, has not yet presented them. Now it Is said, that nongovernment propose to reject the claims of the French citizens. Onrßonafe at the same Mine are malting nn Issue with England on the Dallas and Clarendon Treaty. It is (hits, very naturally expected that both those powers being deeply Interested in ttic independence ot Cen tral America, they will ho inclined to accept n Joint protectorate over It, with the view to crush nut filibustering and give security to the popu lation (herein. The supposition of such a pro ceeding will startle, and be In fact, ft grunt diffi culty In prospect forfho incoming administra tion. The Senate is decidedly iu error on the subject of the Dallas treaty. Yesterday It was reported to lie under discussion In secret session again, and that It was laid rtpon tlio table.— Whether that is flip death of if, or whether it Is only precursor! to tailing from the (rouble final. , I.'
