as candidates for United States Senator. Af t(,r the election last fall, when the administra tion party was so signally overthrown, all of the previously talked of " old line democratic" candidates, except Mr. Cameron, retired at once from the field. The decided adverse po litical character of the Legislature, precluded, a , it W as supposed, the possibility of their el ction; and they ceased to be spoken of as can didates, and were no longer before the public a< such. These, and others of this class, were tiie meu, over whom, I had repeatedly expres sed a preference for Mr. Cameron ; and it fol lows of necessity, that such expression was made, when they were understood to be candi dates or " rivals" for the office Mr. Cameron was seeking. 1 have said enough to show the infamous means employed by Mr. Chase, to make me the victim of his falsehood and misrepresenta tion. A word as to the reasons and motives of his conduct. 1 would not consent to co-oporatc with him in a systematic course of fraud and deception. I wonld be a party to no shams. I would not display the banner of Freedom to betray it. I would not make hypocritical professions of at tachment to the principles of Freedom, for the purpose of leading the masses into the support of slavery propagandism. In short I would not become a co-partner in his infamy, in pre senting Gov. Bigler before the people, as the candidate and friend of Freedom, when 1, and lie. and every intelligent man iu the State and County, knew that lie stood as the candidate of the National Administration, and the repre sentative of its principles and measures. If I hud earned for myself a portrait, drawn in the same colors, as that presented of him by a lead ing Bigler paper, Mr. Chase to-day would have been my friend ; and instead of devoting al most his entire paper to misrepresentations and falsehoods aimed at me, would have been ex tolling me as a model of political consistency and integrity. The motive for the perpetrating of this au dacious villiauy at this juncture, is too plain to lie mistaken. It was intended for effect upon the Legislature, and to influence the result to eoiuc off on Tuesday next, the 27th inst. For this reason it was held back until it was tho't too late to expose and counteract the fraud.— 1 heard two weeks ago through a letter writ ten hv Mr. Laporte to E. (). Goodrich, that Mr. Chase—then in Harrisbnrg—was showing j a letter from me to Mr. Cameron, containing I expressions of kindness and personal regard, ! with a view to influence my friends to the stii>-1 pert of that gentleman. When informed of i tin's by Mr. Goodrich, 1 remarked at once, that 1 1 cared nothing about it beyond the fact, that Mr. Cameron had allowed so unscrupulous and ; unprincipled a man as Mr. Chase to have pos-1 session of the letter. The result lifts demon- ] ;-trated, that this remark was not withoutfoun-1 dation. The letter was not written for exhi bition or publication ; and yet if Mr. Chase | chose to make this use of it. I cared not a ; straw if it were published in every pajteriuthe j Commonwealth, and read by all her citizens. I thought, I confess, that it Was trenching up- j on the point of honor and gentlemanly inter- 1 course, to place the letter in the hands of a known unscrupulous enemy. This act justly makes Mr. Cameron responsible ; and a sharer in the infamy which attaches to the use that has been made of it. The only apology he can oiler for placing the letter in the hands of Mr. Chase, is that he wished it to lie used in the maimer, and tor the purpose it lias been used ; a lid thai there was no man in the State, Mr. Chase excepted, who would stoop to an act so shameful and base. But to the letter, and the motives for its garbled publication at this time. So little thought did 1 give the subject, and so little did 1 care about if, when I learned that Mr. Chase was showing the letter in llarrisburg, that I did not even write to my friend Laporte upon the subject. 1 well knew that it contained nothing of the least importance, and that it could not fairly lie used to influence the action of anv one. The first use made of my letter, was to see if the tone of personal kindness that pervaded it, eouid not be used to win over some of un friends to the support of Gen. Cameron. Mr. Chase is the agent, employed for this (compar atively honorable) work. This was a failure. The letter, even in Mr. Chase's hands,- did not prove me zealous enough in behalf of Mr. Cam eron, to induce any of my friends to come to his snppu t. The next use made of it, is to present a garbled publication, on the eve of commencing again the ballotings for Senator, with a view to prevent the opponents of Mr. Cameron uniting upon me. Mr. Cameron's friends in the Legislature are comjiact and organized, and within a few votes, number the figure required for an election. It is other wise with his opponents —they are broken and divided between rival candidates, and agreeing only in one tiling—opposition to the election of Mr. Cameron. If they can only lie kept divided, il is easy to see that the disciplined forces of Mr. Cameron, must in the end prevail. I had received more votes on the second and !a>t ballot, against Gen. Cameron, than had m en given to any other candidate—Mr. Bnck aiew excepted, whose election his friends do not count upon or expect. It was feared that the opponents of Gen. Cameron (not including the members who voted for Buckalcw) might concentrate upon me, and thus present the strength ol an united body in opposition to his election. Mr. Cliase evidently feared this, and contemplated with dismay the possibility of my >urc>s. What so well calculated to prevent a union upon mo, among a class of men whose i'otnl of cement in action, was opposition to * .macron, as to represent me to be really in jha! gentleman's favor ? What better calcu lated to excite against me, men so feeling, than 'V mc as declaring my preference for '-micron, over those candidates in whom they l;| ' bit an especial interest, and whom they !iy a.Mije in uniting upon me ' Or in u |)a' way could Gen. Cameron's success be so '' 'I.J;! Y promoted, as by keeping his oppo- H' l ken and divided '? LI -re lies toe true " r ' ! 't this most infamous business : Fear of d'ction, and a desire to promote the suc ol (on. Cameron. Mr. Chase, in his comments on my letter, o characteristic, recklessness, asserts, that I ,;u ' ''barged Mr. Cameron with trying to bribe 'to> his support. It is false ; and no crcdi witness can be called in its support. Were ,lot an impeachment of Gen. Cameron's •' A u sagacity, the uncharitable might sus rfl't that he had been wasting some of his ,Uu ' "jioii Mr. Chase. p ln ' v done with this man.

Such publication, I affirm, will sustain all, and more than all, that I have herein charged against him. D. WILMOT. SERIOUS LOSS. —A fire, on Tuesday after noon, at Washington city, destroyed Colonel BENTON'S house, furniture, valuable private pa pers, and all his manuscripts, including a part of his "Thirty Years," and much material for it, consisting of original correspondence with the earliest Presidents, and other public men. The Sentinel fears that papers have been de stroyed that were essentia! to the elucidation and illustration of the History of American po litics for the last half century. The Globe, of Wednesday, adds: "We think it worthy of note to write down that we saw Col. Benton for a few minutes, at a quarter past ten o'clock, last night, when he was about sitting down to re-write, for this morning's Globe, the sjieeeh which he made the day before yesterday, on the presentation of Gen. Jackson's sword to Congress, which he had revised, but had returned to our office a part only ; the balance he had left in his office and it was burjit. He said he had it all in his head, and it should come out before he slept. "A\ e asked him if his house was insured, and he replied, as near as we can recollect as follows : "No it was not insured ; but I care nothing about that; insurance could not have saved all that I considered valuable—the bed on which my wife died, on which I slept; her clothes, Which were in a trunk sitting at the head of it; the articles which she prized most, around it—the last things 1 saw at night, and the first in the morning-—and the papers in the adjoining room, many of which cannot be sup plied. But what I shall most feel—more than 1 now do—will be the loss of the memorials of my wife, whose body, still above ground, it will be my first care to remove to St. Louis, when released from Congress, to buried in the place in which I had collected the remains of my dead—my mother, children, grandchildren, sister, —to take the place by their side which she and I had marked out. for ourselves.'" CONGRESS adjourned on Sunday I.T-t, at 12 M. having passed the Appropriation bill in the last hours of the session. Among its acts were the passage of the Postage Bill, fixing the pos tage for a distance less than three thousand miles at three cents, and over at five, providing that all letters shall be prepaid, after next December with stamps; and that letters contain ing money may be registered,though preserving the irresponsibility of the department ; the Ship Passengers' Bill supplies important addi tional securities to the health and comfort of the emigrants who crowd to our shores ; and the Shipwreck bill furnishes new and most val uable facilities for rescue in case of shipwreck, or of serious danger upon our coasts. The Te legraph bill provides for the construction of a line of Telegraph to the Pacific, at tlie expense of the grantees, giving a right of way two hun dred feet in width, and putting the same under the protection of tlw Government. The bill fur the Reorganization of the Navy creates a retired list and fhe Naval Discipline Bill. The Court of Claims Bill establishes a tribunal for the adjudication of private claims, which will not only save the national legislature a great deal of valuable time, but will secure a prom la titude and justice in the disjiosition of this kind of business. PENNSYLVANIA STATE LUNATIC HOSPITAL.— We have received the annual rqiort of the Pennsylvania State Lunatic Asylum, for 1854. The institution is located near llarrisburg, and the buildings are. extensive and commodious.— The report informs us that of the whole number of patients admitted to the institution during the four years it has been in operation, although a reasonable number have been discharged as restored or improved, yet there is a remainder which increases annually, and may be considered as a permanent charge. This was 37 in the year 1851, and 10b in 1852, and 182 in 1853, and 214 in 1854. During the last year 111 patients have been admitted, 70 being sent by the public authorities and 74 by their friends, amounting, with the reraaiudcr from the previous year, to an aggregate of 320 patients, of whom 112 have have been discharg ed, .'27 as restored, 22 as improved, 30 as stationary, and 22 by death. Of the remain ing 211, the number of males is 127, and of females 87. The report says that more than three hundred patients cannot be accommodated in the institution with benefit, and as applica tions for admission are increasing, many must necessarily be refused. In view ot this, the managers recommend the establishment of another institution in Western Pennsylvania. Of the patients who have been in the institu tion since its establishment, 333 were natives of Pennsylvania, and 104 of foreign countries, 57 being from Ireland, and 27 from Germany. GEN. JACKSON'S SWORIL —The sword which Gen. Jackson bequeathed to the late General Armstrong, of Tennessee, was, on Monday last presented to the Government of the United States, and accepted. On the resolution of ac ceptance, bv Congress, Gen. Cass and Senator Bell, made eloquent speeches in the Senate, and Col. Benton and Hon. Messrs. Smith and Zol licoffer, of Tennessee, in the House. The House done a very unusual thing on this occasion.— It gave the ladies permission to occupy the floor of the Hall, in large numbers, during the interesting ceremonies. FOREKJ.V NEWS. —Since our last issue, the steamship St. Louis and Canada have arrived. From the seat of war there is little or no additional news, affairs remaining the same as at last reported. The Peace Conference was to open at Vienna on the 26th of February.— Lord JOHN* RUSSELL left London fur the Austrian capital, to assume the [tost of Pleni potentiary of the British government in the conference. The Western alliance has been strengthened by the accession of Naples. THE COLLINS LINE VETOED. —The attempt of the owners of the Collius line of steamers to get the extra allowance out of the public trea sury for four years louger, without the power of Congress to rescind the contract which it ex pressly reserved, has very properly failed, thro' the interposition of the Presidential veto, Go vernment has been paying an enormous amount of mouey, as the President shows, for this mail service, without a corresponding public advan tage. The fact is only another proof that whenever government attempts to foster with bounties-any particular enterprise, it is only working mischief, interfering with free compe tition, and paying a costly sum for service whieli would be better and cheaper performed if pri vate enterprise were left to perform the work iu its own way, assisted only by its own ener gies, and the necessary economy with which service is performed when in such hands. A grant of an extravagant sum by Government is made the pretext for another still more ex travagant, and the necessity for aid grows just in proportion to the facility with which the mo ney can be procured from the public treasury. The President deserves great credit for this veto, and so far as checking unjust legislation is concerned, he is entitled to the gratitude of the country. This veto, and the veto of the Spoliation bill, shows that he is determined to guard the Treasury against the schcmesof those who make plundering a business. MCNICIPAI, ELECTIONS.—ON Tuesday last, elections were held in the towns of several of the States. These contests have been particu larly sharp and exciting, and their effects are of more importance, than usually attend such struggles. In every instance, we believe, the question has been distinctly drawn between the Know Nothiugism and anti-Know Nothingisin. In New-York municipal elections were held Tuesday in Oswego and Auburn. In the for mer, the fusionists, composed of whigs and for eigners, succeeded in electing their candidate for Mayor by a handsome majority over the Know Nothing nominee. In Auburn, howev er, the Know Nothings were successful by a majority of two hundred over a candidate of a coalition formed of all the old parties and fac tions. At Rochester, Norwich, Oxford, and Sherburne, the Know Nothings were also suc cessful. At Utica, the Whig ticket was cho sen, while at Syracuse and Troy the fusionists triumphed. At Newport, Ky., the American ticket was defeated. Throughout Massachu setts the Know Nothings have Sustained their ascendancy, four-fifths of the towns heard from having been carried by that party. At De troit, Mich., a democratic Mayor has been cho sen by a large majority. In Maine the Know Nothings have carried everything before them. tSfj?*- Mr. SOUI.E, late Minister to Spain, lias returned to this country, and is now sojourn ing at Washington. It is said that Mr. Sonic feels that he has been badly treated, but says until the public have all the official facts be fore them, he does not feel at liberty to speak. He will not, however, tamely submit to the of ficial snubbling he has received. Murcv's let • J ter 111 reply to the joint-despatch is very loug, taking decided ground against the opinions ad vanced by Messrs. Mason, Buchanan, and Soule, and directing Mr. Soule to retrace bis ground, and resume negotiations at Madrid upon the most peaceblc basis. To this Mr. Soule replied in a brief note, stating that the instructions thus communicated were of so ex traordinary a character—so totally at variance with the whole previous policy of the adminis tration, and disregardful of the humiliating po sition lie would lie compelled to assume were he to carry them out, that self respect left him but one course to pursue, and he accordingly tendered his resignation. The New Hampshire election takes place on the 13th inst., and more than usual interest attaches to it, since, in addition to the Governor and other State officers, and mem bers of the lower house of Congress who are to chosen, the Legislature, now to be elected, will have the choice of two members of the United States Senate, to fill the seats vacated by the death of Messrs. Athcrton and Norris. For Governor, there are four candidates, N. J>. Baker, democrat; James Bell, whig; Asa Fowler, Free Soil; and Ilalph Mctcalf, Ame rican. HORRIBLE STORY —ONE HOY MURUEREU BY ANOTHER!—A gentleman living in JLussa, Herkimer county, who was in this city yester day, informed us that a horrible tragedy was reported to have occurred in that vicinity a few days since. As the story was told us, two boys, aged 12 and 14, respectively engaged in a quarrel which terminated in a threat on the part of the youngest lad, that lie would shoot his antagonist. He went to the house, asked his mother to hand down from a shelf a pistol which lay there, and told her he was going to shoot a boy with it. She supposed that he only joking, gave him the pistol. He took it, walked out toward where the other boy stood, and deliberately shot him through the head, killing him instantly. The boys were said to be both Irish. Our informant did not learn the names. — I 'lica Herald, 2(i// THE FUTURE OK EUROPE. —Kossuth closes a recent lengthy letter to a gentleman in this country, by summing up the present condition of things in Europe, as follows:—"Our news you kuow.from the papers. Their policy is: 1. A small ministerial change here in men, but not in policy. England's absolute nudity of inherent weakness; England's aristocracy de caying fast; the British empire drifted towards a revolution scarcely to be prevented any more. 2. BONAPARTE drifting from folly to folly, and to fall. 3. No patching up of peace possible, though everybody be bent ou it.— 4. The theatre of war soon to lie transferred to the interior of Europe, and the contest gener alized. AFFAIRS IN CUBA.— The Havana correspon dent of the National ItiteUigenctr says the regular troops have nearly all been withdrawn from tlie city of Havana, aud it? protection is in the hands of volunteers and a safeguard force, which is composed of tlie soldiers who have been discharged from the army in Cuba mi expiration of service for several years past. This makes a very efficient force inapjtcarauce, and the men have mostly had the advantage of active field service—probably better troops than those which have been thrown into the country and forwarded upon tiie coast to pro tect weak points, and to be ready for concentra tion * wherever there may be necessity. He thinks, however, that the indisoriminatinjr arming of negroes has been an unwise measure, and which, if continued to the extent proposed will result in serious evil for Cuba, that Concha, or any one succeediutr him will not be aide to cure or remove. Tiie consequences are already perceptible in the streets and in families. RAILROAD ACCIDENT. —TheD nnkirk express, that left Jersey City on Friday mornincr at 7 o'clock, when near Cattaraugus at 11 o'clock in the evening, was thrown from the track by the breaking of the wheel under the baggage car. Tlie baggage and one passenger car were thrown from tlie track, and badly broken up ; there was 110 one seriously injured. The train was detained some eight or ten hours, block ing up the road and preventing the passage of other trains.— N. Y. Tribune. ARRISOX THE INFERNAL MACHINE MAN. — The Cincinnati Ctmerri'l of Saturday says this unfortunate man, as the day approaches on which he is to expiate his terrible crime, by the death penalty, evinees by his haggard counte nance and altered demeanor, that he begins to realise all the horrors oF his condition. Ile morse seems to be busy at work with his con science. FATAL ACCIDENT.— On Friday last a young man by the name of WRIGHT, while engaged at work in the Sash Factory of Mr. Hiram Bliss, was struck by a board in tlie abdomen, which ilew off" from machine.
