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.

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.

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

them from harm, providing them sustenance

! tared victims of hunger and cold, some of
; them indeed torn by famished wo'ves, while
; life still struggled for the victory over faiai.-h
meiit and frost ! 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

| 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

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

mastered by the same power. It is appropri

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,

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 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

FIRST GUN FROM PENNSYLVANIA.
! 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.

! evening, to hear the report of the Committee;

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 MURDERER STOUT.
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."

morning. Although a public man of standing

much known to the country at large. Like
all the politicians of that State, he was ardent

especially to those of South Carolina. His
term as a Senator would expire with the pres
