AU offensive territorial laws against the lib erty of speech, the press, and requiring an (lath to support the fugitive slave law, &e., are repealed thereby, and r or th e prevention of fraud or violence at the election, military Vireo is to be used. The bill was ameelleil in one or two important particulars, one of which amendments strikes out a provision which allowed any white, male above twenty one years old, who has resided in the country nd Territory three months, to veto at the election. It is to be hoped that the bill may pass nthe House, aud, succeed in giving quiet to the country. The amendment of Mn. Seward, for the ad- mission of Kansas with the Topeka constitu tion, was promptly voted down, as were also k-everal others of kindred nature. roe Muse, however, yesterday reconsider its fernier vote, rejecting by one majority the Kansas Topeka bill, :said passed it by yens 101, 'lays tn. Pulpit Politics.—The Saco Democrat well says that if the pulpit is the place for discuss ing Kansas troubles, then is the pulpit the place, and the Sabbath service the proper oe. tasion to declare to a congregation that in New ()deans and in Louisville, and in Washington and Cincinnati, and in various other places nearer home, the Kno w N o things have hy outrage and violence, and the use of arms and bowie knives even to the death, con trolled the pulls and drive n awa y leg a l v o t e rs.

I refer to hint allusien to the electio_ucering_alangor-th late contest on the subjed.hf low wages.— That remark was wholly unworthy of that Senator, and I intend to answer it as it de serves," But Mr, CLAY did not wait for the answer. Begging. permission to explain, he said his remark had been uttered in a playful manner, and he bad no intention whatever to wound the feelings of the Senator from Penn sYlvania. Mr. BuettANAN replied: "I am entirely satisfied, and um glad we are friends again." No one, (truly remark" the Valley Spirit.) who ham the slightest knowledge of llr.

It is altogether useless for the Know Nothings, who have broken down the party and deserted the principles of lb:Nay CLAY, to attempt to . injure Mr. BuctrANAti by calling him the "slanderer of CLAv."

James Buchanan, and What Ilis Opponents Say. The Lancaster - ( Pa.)

After a few in troduetury remarks, the editor proceeds, and says : "We know the man as one of our most re spected fellow-citizens—a gentleman of un blemished personal integrity, and unusually agreeable manners in his social intercourse with all classes. We loow him as a friend o f the poor—as a perpetual bene,fitetor of the poor widows of this city, who, when the piercing blast of each successive winter brought shrieks o f c old, and hunger, and want, hi the frail tenements of poverty, could apply to - the 'Bu chanan :Relief Donation' fur their annual sup ply of wood, and, sitting down with their or phaned children in the cheerful warmth of a blazing tire, lift their hearts in silent gratitude to God andteach.their little ones to bless the name of James Iluelitman."

The opposition journals take great pleasure in misrepresenting the action of the Ostend Conference.

ES INDEPENDENCE DAY.—Friday last, tho 80th anniversary of the declaration of Ameri can Independence, was very generally Ome n .. eel by our citizens. At dawn of day, cannon _were -lired,-anfl- tl/e-eittird IN:rung. hours later, parties were to be seen in all quarters of the town, starting for the country, mostly to Marsh creek, to spend the day in pie-nie style. The " Independent Blues," (commanicid by Captain C. IL BuEnticn,) as previously announced, celebrated it at Bar Am's. At half-past ten o'clock, they 'with the citizens there assembled, organized be neigh the liirge spreading willows on tbe smith bank of Marsh creek, near the hotel, by calling 11. J. STAHLE to the Chair; Serg. Wu. J. ill.- LER, (of Baltimore,) &Id Sorg. JOHN, CUI.r, were appointed Vice Presidents, and Lieut. WIS. J. MARTIN' and _DAVID MCCREA . RY 7 Secretaries. The Declaration of - Independence was read by Cu.ts. X. MARTIN, after which Hon. MOSES McCLEAN delivered an appropri ate and eloquent oration, which was listened to with the most profound attention by all present. We suppose it will be published.

Volun teer toasts followed, which brought out a num ber of short, but happy.responses, and an hour or more was thus most agreeably spent. The "Blues" drilled several times during the day, and we were highly gratified to wit ness the decided progress they have made in marching, &e. Towards evening, the party returned to town, all appearing to have "put through" the day pleasantly. Such at least was our case. There were quite a number of pie-Hies and family parties along the creek lower down, all of idiom, we learn, enjoyed themselves their hearts' content. After dark a pretty display of rockets,- racers, &c., came off iu the Diamond, which elicited admiration throughout, and gave the, day a happy termination.
