forming their whole duty to the country. | Mr. Wiltnot talk* very poiitively about what ii going on in the Territory. Of couna be knows; but 1 spent some week* there this summer and found-jidiffieelt to obtain! accurate information. That wrongs bate been committed on both sides isolear; but the idea of Mr. W. that his peculiar Order have been uniformly right on all Ihe issues that bare disturbed the quiet of the Territory, is absurd. No unbiased mind will come to such a conclusion. It is not, however, my pnr poke to go into a history of Kansss aflalrs, or give toy views<at length as to Ihe policy i -I be administration at thie time; but f can as * aire Mr.'Wilisol that lbs only impracticable . politicians I met in ihe Territory were oi bis own school, the leaders of tbe Topeka re bellion. They seemed determined to rule or rnjit. It wee no uncommon thing to hear tqem say that if (be convention to meet this tnpntb, should adopt ibe Topeka Constitution, word for word, they wbo made it, originally, would reject it at the polls. But I hope and believe that, through the agenoy of the pres ent able and patriotic Executive of the Terri tory, Mr. Walker,'tbe bitter feuda dividing tbe people of that Territory, will be happily settled, and Kansas be brought into the Un ion on principles perfectly consistent with the organio aot. In this effort Governor Walker will be sustained by the great mass of Ihe people, whom I found lo be moderate, prac tice! and palriotic in their views. For myself, J have believed that the spirit of the Com promise of 1850, as in Ihe organic laws of Kansas, contemplated the decision of . the question of Slavery, in the Territory, by some direct action of the people, prior to applica tion for admission as a State; otherwise tbe come back to Congress in the I same shape in which it was referred to Ihe i people, unaccompanied by any expression of f populsr will. Thai expression should, and 1 bave no doubt, will be bad without any offi j cial iniarference as to what il should be ; and j when so had, deciding the question of Sla very as the people wish, I shall, lor one, as sist lo throw wide open the portals of the Union, and welcome Kansas as a State, Sla very or no Slavery. But I shall not vote to admit her on tbe Topeka Constitution, be cause the movement was not of the people, bol of a party; was not by authority of law bol in violation of law and therefore revolu tionary. Nor an, lat all inclined to indulge tbe rebellious spirit ol those in the Territoiy wbo seem determined lo set the lawe at deti anea. If tbey will not act save in their own way, and Kansas becomes a Slave Stale by the voice of those who not act, the responsi bility must rest upon them. But I bave been wandering from my texi, and neglecting the Republican candidate for Governor. I wish lo make one more extract from his speech, and then 1 shall have done. "With respect to the labor question, it is alleged by the Democracy that we hare no sympathy with free while iebor; that all our j tears are exhausted on the black msn. Now 1 leave the chivalry of the South to the noble j office of kicking negroes. God has laid u 1 heavy band on litem. The chivalry may j have all the glory of horse tohipping women and selling their babies. Democracy may <rample I their rights under foot, if they please, but I ! sell yon thai the Interests of all humanity are ' one. God has so ordered it, that no man can I do del'beute and systematic wrong to other: men; to man can be a tyrant or a despot , without staining his own soul, and without ' becoming a beast or a demon." How idle, if not unmanly, il is for a man , who uses language of this character, on a question entirely beyond tbe reach,of those j to whom it is addressed, to become indignant and denounce the democratic press as "tie-| based," "venal," "corrupt," and 4'in psy of! t! e slave power," because il has designated him as an "Abolitionist," a "wild, impraoti- I cable theorist." What else could he expect? What else could Ihe truth telling press say ? Eoes not tbe whole tenor ol his address jus tify this conclusion ? Is it not "wild theor isra" lo excite the minds of the people day after day, about grpit evils, without telling them how a remedy can be applied, and whiUl confessing Ktnt they have no right to interfere for or against such evils in ihe Slates, and acknowledging the binding effeete of a definition of the Constitution, which shows that tbey cannot be retched in the Territor ies ? Is it not Abolitionism to describe the institution of negro Slavery as so odious that it should not be tolerated in a civilized coun try—as involving that measure of tyranny and oppression, that no roan can practice it "with out staining hi* own soul," without ' becoming a beast or a demonl" Is il viledemagogueism thus to inflame the passions and prejudices of the people of one section of the country against the,institutions of another to subserve tbeends of party? Mr. Wilmot roust not conclude that his sickly recognition of the right* of the Steles, and his ungracious bow to tbe decision of the Supreme Court, will proteet him in the use of such offensive lan guage aaAb# foregoing. The aseefeoeh foul aspersion can in no way improve the morals or politics of tbe country, ile institutions or its customs; can do nogood to North or South; to white or black race. It ie net my habit to deal harshly with the character or actions of pnblio men, but I should do injury to. my feelings were I not to aay that much of Mr. Wilmot's address, whether considered as a declaration of principles or as a specimen of iogio or lileratare fells far below what his friends had reason to expect. It can rank but little above common piece anti-slavery rant, at wanting in method, and useful suggestion a* in the ordinary graces of even par'izan dis cussion. Is il possible that tbe Republican party cannot maintaiu their principles with out resorting to such dangerons incendia risms? Uncharitable crimination of tbe South asems to be their only source *f par'izan cap ital. Assuming respeet for the constitutional rights of the slave-holding States, tbey are sure to discourse is eueb a way at lo lead the fanatical abolitionist to boliave that in some way or other, at no distant day, through their agenoy, the institution is to be uprooted every where. It was by suoh means in tbe last Fietidential election that they gained over to Fremont, Garrison, Parker, Beecher and mil that school of fanatjea; Unable to devise a practical ache ate to improve the condition of tbe blaokinan, they .persist j n the work of agitaliaa as Un roost fruitful means of politi oil power. They know that they could do but Utile to tbe condition of the black men, though the whole eobjsct was under their unrestrained control. Suppeee all legal difficulties to be removed, end sha sub ject placed wiihin their reach, by ereancipa lion qe the pert of tbe South; condition ed that Die negroes ba property oared for; what then ? _To what Country could .they remove the slaves so that they might escape the dreaded ''kicks," and be where none wou'd "horsewhip the women and sell their ba bi*s4" How could they be clothed and fed, end how elevated to the scale of ntoftd beingt Would they be brought North to compete Willi ouf present laboring population? lam sure the free States would never agree to that. But suppose they should, would that insure an improvement in the physical end mental condition of the slave? With what new po litical and social dignities would the black msn be clothed, so that they might live ea sier and happier, and attain to a higher degree of civilisation and Christianity ? Who will •land up for the equality of (hem in the North ? Lei os have these questions answer ed, and have a practical scheme for the ele vation of the negro, or less of the agitation. The continuance of these criminations be tween the North and the South may readily disturb the peace of thirty millions of while people, but in no way can it relieve whatev er of hardship there may be in the condition of the three or four millions of slaves now in our country. Nor is it just or patriotic lo al lege national sin against oar country, because the conditio!? of ihd African, when the au thors of such aspirations cannot point the spot on earth or name the period in history, in which the condition of the curly haired negro was better than at present, in the United Slates—when and where he enjoyed greater physical comforts, or attained a higher de gree of mental cultivation, or embraced better ideas of Christianity. His own country is "one of slaves and masters," and the ances tors of those we have were slaves of the low est class when taken from their own couolty- To restore those now in the United Stateß lo that original condition, were such a ihhig porsible, would be an outrage on humanity and civilization. If, then, the condition of the black man has been really improved by even his lowest estate among us, wherein consists the national sin that so constantly besets the consciences of these puli'ical doc tors? Reported Wreck of tbe Stearoer Cen tral America. FIVE HUNDRED PASSENGERS LOST! ONLY 40 SAVED—-$8,600,000 IN SPECIE. The wo'St fears concerning the safety of the missing steamer Central America, for Ha vamia, with over five hundred of the Califor nia passengers, seem to be realized by the intelligence from Charleston, South Carolina, published under the telegraph head. The Thomas Swan, from New York, at Charles ton, report* that she spoke on the 15th insl.,the Norwegian bark Eloise, which had lorly of the Central America's passengers on board, the rest having been lost, when the ship founder*/, which occurred on the 12th inst. This is all the information yet received ol the great ca lamity—the worst which lias occurred In Ihe annals of steamship navigation. The passen gers on board the Central America amounted to five hundred and twenty-five, which, with the officers, crew, and attendants, make at least six hundred souls. The steamer had also the mails and specie from California, the latter being $1,600,000! It is stated that be sides this amount from California, she is sup posed to have taken on board $600,000 as freight at Havana, making the amount $2,- 200,000, and il is estimated that $300,000 is in the hand-* of her poesengers, which would swell the amount to two and a half millions, provided that these suppositions and esti mates are correct, of which there is some doubt. Whether this amonnt is lost, or whether it was saved with the few who es caped, is as yet, unknown. The details ap pear to be very important news which inter ests so many families, ttie friends and tela tives of those on board. But news at sea is always of a brief and unsatisfactory charac ter, and we mnst wait for the arrival of the vessel containing those rescued, to learn Ihe sad particulars of this most melancholy dis aster. The specie is said to he insured in London ; the Steamer in New York. The Central America left Havana on the 9ih inst., an hour previous to the sailing of the Empire City, which Itad put into Norfolk. The Central America kept in sight until the afternoon, when she outran the Empire City so far that it lost sight of her. This is the last that was seen of her. Severnl vessels polling into Southern ports have reporled see ing portions of a wreck, supposed to be of a steamer, off Halteras. The Falcon, which arrived at New York yesterday, from Savan nah, passed a large quantity of wrecked stuff consisting of barrels anil boards. Tbe late gale was moat severely felt in Ihe vicinity of Cape Halteras on the 9th and 10th, and on other parts of the North Carolina coast on the llth and 12th instant. The blow com menced from the northeast, and veered round to west and southwest, and lasted for shout twenty-four-hours. The southern papers bring detailed accounts of the effects of the storm, both along the coast and at sea, the facts of which have been com municated by telegraph. It was in this storm (he Empire City was disabled, the Southerner, on ber was to Savannah, nearly foundered, and ihe Norfolk, of thie eity, was sunk.

This gentleman was nominated for Con gress in this district, on Inst Saturday morn ing after a protracted struggle among the Conferees, lasting nearly a week. Mr. Leidy will certainly be a strong candidate before the people. His moral character and pri vate habits have always been entirely unex ceptionable As a lawyer he has always been studious, careful, industrious and safe. Without any meteoric brilliancy, he always exhibits that common sense and clear per ception whidh are always the safest ele ments of character Political economy Mr. Leidy has studied less thoroughly than law, and has, therefore, sometimes, been misled by the clamor and influence of association, rather tlian gnided by the result of his own reflections. But his intentions are to be al ways right—he has a logical mind, a wil lingness to study a subject to the bottom, and these can be made as effectual guides in politics as he lias fonnd them in the sci ence of law.

Exorbitant Price.—The retail -flour dealers in Philadelphia are still asking $9 for a bar rel of flour, though good flour is sold whole sale for 65,50 per barrel, end wheal has de clined to St,ls and $1,21) per buahel. Why should ihere be this enormous difference between the wholesale and retail price! GOOD WAGES —The salary of the Govern or of the English colony of Victoria, is fifty thousand dollars a year, with a snug little re tiring salary tnnex'ed. So far as the money goes it is better than being President of the Erie railroad, which officer receive* only $25,000 a year.

IMPORTANT MSIOVfcEY. CONSUMPTION, AND ALL DISEASES OF THE LUNGS A nd THOATT are positively corable by in *■ halation, which conveys the remedies to the cavities in the lunge through the sir pas sages, nnd coming in direct contact with the disesks, neutralize- the tnbercofar metier, allays the cough, ceases a free and easy ex pectoration, heal* tbe Ittngs, purifies the blood, imparls renewed vitality to the nervous sys tem, giving that tone and energy so indis pensable tor the restoration of health. Tor be able to slate confidently that Coneoifipfiori is curable by inhalation, to.; to me a source of unalloyed pleasure. It ia a* much under the control of medical treatment as any other formidabie disease; ninety out of every hun dred cases can be cured in the first stages, and fifty per cent, in the second; hot in (he third stage it is impossible to save more than five per cent., for ihe lungs are so cbt tip by the disease as to bid defiance to medical skill. Even, however, in the last stages, in halation affords extraordinary relief to the suffering attending ibi* fearful seecrga, which annually destroys ninety five thousand per sons in the United States alone; and a correct Calculation shows that out of the present pop niation of the earth, eighty millions are des tined to fill the consumptive's grave. Truly the quiver of death bas no arrow so fatal as Consumption. In all tges it has been the great enemy of life, for it spares neither age nor sax, but sweeps off alike the brave, the beautiful, the graceful, and the gifted— By the help of that Supreme Being, from whom cometh every good and perfect gift, I ain enabled to ofier to the sfßcled a perma nent ar.d speedy cure in Consumption. The first cause of tabercies ia from impure blood, and the immediate effect, produced by their deposition lh the longs, iato prevent the free admission of air into the air cells, which cansea a weakened vitality through tbe entire system. Then surely it is more rational to expect greater good from tr.edij cinea entering the cavities of the lungs than from those administered through the stom ach; the patient will always find tbe lungs free and the breathing easy after inhaling remedies. Tliua,, inhalation -is a local remedy, nevertheless it act* constitutionally, and with more power and oerlainly than rem edies administered by ihe stomach. To prove the nowerlul and direct fufluence ot this mode of administration, chloroform inhaled will entirely destroy sensibility in a few min utes, paralyzing the entire nervous system, so that a limb may be amputated without the s'igbtesi pain; inhaling the ordinary burning gas will destroy life in a few hours. The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the system when fainting or apparently dead— The odor of many of the medicines is per cepiible in the skin a few minutes after being inhaled, anil ruey be immediately detected in the blood. A convincing proof of Ihe constitutional effects ol inhalation, is Ihe fact that sickness is always produced by breath ing foul air. Ia not this positive evidence that proper remedies, carefully ptepared and judiciously administered through the lungs, should produce the most bappy results! Du ring eighteen years' practice, many thous ands, suffering from diseases of the lungs and throat, have been onder my care, and I have affected many remarkable cures, even after the sulfereis had been pronounced in the last stages, which fully satisfies me that consumption ia no longer a lalal disease— My treatment of consumption IN original, and founded on long experience and a thorough investigation. My perfect acquaintance with the nature of tubercles, &c., enables me to distinguish readily the various forma of dis ease th*t simulate consumption, and apply lite proper remedies rarely being mistaken even in a single case. This familiarity in connection with certain pathological am) mi croscopic discoveries, euablea me to relieve the lungs from the effects of contracted chests; to enlarge the chest, purify the blood, imparl to it renewed vitality, giving energy and tone to the entire system'. Medicines with full directions sent to any part of the United Slates and Canada* by patients communicating their symptoms by letter. But the cure would be more ceitaia if the patient should psy me a vieii, which would give me an opportunity to examine the lungs and enable ma to prescribe with greater certainty, and than the core could be effected without my seems the patient again.
