We are met with the assertion, nearly eve ry boar ia the day, that Co!. Fremont, when in the Senate,voted universally with the South, and that the record proves him to be anything eke than a Bepnblican. Atter a careful ex amination of the Congressional Globe, we find, that these assertions vanish into "thin air." Among other things it is charged that he vo ted against a proposition to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia. An examination ol the official Journal of the Senate shows that but fire Senators voted in its favor, and that it was evidently not a test vote. The circum stances are as follows : On the 12th of Sep tember, the bill to suppress the Slave-trade in the District of Columbia was pending, when Got. Seward, to show by his record that he preferred to strike the institution out of exis tence altogether in the District, moved to strike out the whole bill from its enacting clause, and insert the proposition above refer red to. It was rejected, as it was expected it would be, the vote standing Yeas 5, .Nays 4-5. Among the nays with Col. Fremont were such Northern men as Roger S. Baldwin of Con necticut, John Davis of Maasachusett?,Thomas Ewing of Ohio, II. Hamlin of Maine, Truman man Smith of Connecticut, and R. C. Win throp of Massachusetts. They all preferred, doubtless, to bend their energies toward ob taining what was attainable the breaking up of the slave pens and the slave auctions in the natioaal capital and on the 16th of Septem ber the bill passed remont and Dayton voting with all the Northern Senators in its favor Atchison, Jeff. Davis, Butler, and the rest of that stripe, in the negative. Fremont voted against another proposition for an absolute, unconditional abolition of Slavery in the Dis trict, which was overwhelmingly rejected, and the success of which was expected by no one. But during the pendency of the bill suppres sing the District Slave Trade, several votes were taken which proved plainly enough where the yonngCalifornian's heart waa,and to which aide of the Senate Chamber his principles of humanity led him. On the 14th of Scptem- ber,an amendment was pending providing that if a free person should entice or induce a slave to run away, or should harbor any such, he should be immured in the District Penitentia ry five years. The vote was a close one yeas 22, nays 28. But Fremont and Dayton, voted No, and turned the scale against it. Among the Teas were Barnwell and Butler Of S. C, Dawson and Berrien of Ga. (the State in which Fremont was born,) Jeff-Davis,' Soule, Foote, Hunter and Mason of Va., VT. R. King, Rusk and others. , Among the Noes were Fremont and Dayton, Baldwin, Chase, John Davis, Ew ing, Hale, Hamlin, Seward, Wiathrop and oth ers. On another amendment to authorize the Corporations of the District to prohibit free negroes within tbeir limits, under penalty of imprisonment and fine ; which also failed by Ayes 20, to Noes 28 ; Atchison, Butler, Soule, J elf. Davis and others in the affirmative ; Fre mont and Dayton, Hale, Chase and Seward were in the negative. The record is a signifi cant one. Avoiding extreme votes for hope less propositions, he was found on all real test questions with the friends of Freedom. We were not at all surprised (page 691, Sept. 20) to find that when Mason of Va. moved to strike ont the clause in the Navy bill which abolishes flogging in the navy, Col. Fremont was found voting an emphatic No, with Hale, Seward, Chase and other Northern men, who believed that sailors could be better disciplin ed in some other way than by the cat-o'-ninetails, administered in plantation style, at the whim of their superiors. Slctiohalism is as much complained of a though it were first introduced into our nation al politics by the Republican party. This is not true. In the year 1828 Andrew Jackson of Tennessee, was ran for . President on the game ticket with John C. Calhoun, of South Carolina, for Vice President, and both were elected. John Qnincy Adams, of Massachu setts, ran for President in opposition, on the same ticket with Richard Rush, of Pennsylva nia. John C. Calhoun was elected Vice Pres ident at the same time that the South had three proainent candidates running with him for President, viz : Andrew Jackson, of Tennes see, who received ninety-nine electoral votes; Win. H. Crawford, of Georgia, who received forty-one votes ; and Henry Clay, of Kentucky, who received thirty-seven votes. Every Nor thern State at that election which voted for Mr. Adams voted also for Calhoun; while at the South the same States which voted for him voted for Southern candidates for the Presidency.

On the 22nd January 1840, Mr. Buchanan made a speech in the - United States Senate, (vide Congressional Globe, for Jan. 1840, pp. 135-6, or Niles' Register vols. 67 and 68,) in which the following passages occur : ' In Germany, where the currency is purely metalic, and the cost of everything is eedcc- EO to a hard money standard, a piece of broad cloth can be manulactnred for fifty dollars, the manufacture of which, in onr country from the expansion of paper currency would cost one hundred dollars. What is the consequence T The foreign French and German manufacturer imports this cloth into our country and sells it for a hundred. Does not every person per ceive that the redundancy of our currency is eqnai to a premium oi one hundred per cent in favor of the manufacturer. - .. . "No tariff of protection, nnless it amounted to prohibition, could counteract these adran tares in favor of fore i en manufactures. J would to heaven that I could arouse the atten tion of every manufacturer of the nation to this important subject. "What is the reason that, with all these ad vantages and with the protective duties which our laws afford to the domestic manufacture of cotton, we cannot obtain exclusive possession of the home market, and successfully contend for the market of the world T It is simply because we manufacture at the nominal prices of our own inflated currency, and are compel led to sell at the real prices of other nations ItiPCCE Or XOKI.TAL STASDABD OF PBICES THROCHHOCT THE WORLD, AKD TOC COVER OCR COCSTHT WITH BLES9I5GS ASD BEXEHTS. "The comparative low prices of France and Germany have afforded such a stimulous to their mannfactures,that they are now rapid ly extending themselves, and would obtain possession, in no small degree, even of the English home market, ir it were sot for tbeir protective pcties. While British man ufactures are now languishing, those of the continent are springing into a healthy and vigorous existence.' Having thus given Mr. Buchanan's own smooth and polished language, let ns sec what is the meaning of it in plain English, when he says "reduce our nominal standard of prices throughout the whole world, and yon cover the country with blessings and benefits." Now, what did Mr. Buchanan mean by this language, if be meant anything, but that our standard of prices should be reduced to that of the hard money currency of Europe J And what is the European standard then, to which he desired oar . own to be reduced T Accord ing to the best authorities on that subject, Porter's Progress and Wade's History of the Middle and Working Classes, two recent pub lication's, containing statistics collected by the British Government, the standard of pri ces for labor in Europe, is as follows : Wagti in France. Calais common laborers 7d, per day, with board, and without dwel ling ; Boulogne, od. per day, do. do. ; Nantes, 8d, per day, without board and without dwel ling ; Marseilles. 4d.to 7d. per dar,with board and without dwelling. The food in some dis tricts "consists in rye bread, soup made of miuet, canes made or Indian corn, now and then some salt provisions and vegetables, rare ly, if ever,butcher,s meat." In others,wheat en bread, soup made with vegetables, and a little grease or lard twice a-day, potatoes, or other vegetables, but seldom butcher's meat." Sweden. "The daily wages of a skilled ag riculturist are 7d. or 8d. ; while the unskilled obtain no more than Jkt. or 4d. and board themselves. Agriculturists in the southern provinces live ujwn salt fish and potatoes ; in the northern provinces, porridge and rye bread form their'food." Bavaria. "Laborers are paid at the rate of oa. per aay, in the country," without board. Belgium. "A skilled artizan may "earn, in Summer, Is. 2. to Is. 5d. ; in Winter, from lOd. to Is. 2d. ; unskilled, half as mnch,with out board ; live upon rye bread, potatoes, and milk." Agricultural laborers have less. Germany. "Dantrig, laborers, 4d. to 7d. per day, without board ; Muhlburg, 7d. per day, without board; Ilolstein, 7d. per day, without board." -Netherlands. Sonth Holland laborers, 3d. to 4d. per day, with board ; North Holland, 20d. per day, without board ; Antwerp od. per day, do. ; West Flanders, 00s, to lMs. per per year, with board." Italy "Trieste laborers, 12d. per day .with out board ; do. 6d. per day,with board ; I stria, 8d. to lOd. per day, without board ; do. 4d. to od. per day, with board ; Lombardy, 4d. to 8d a day, do ; Genoa, 6d. to 8d. per day, do, and without lodgings ; Tuscan y, 6d. per day,with out either." Saxony. "In 1837 a man employed in his own loom working very diligently from Mon day morning to Saturday night, from 5 o'clock in the morning until duk, and even at times with a lamp, his wife assisting him in finishing and taking him the work, could not possibly earn more than 20 prose hen (about CO cents) per week. Nor could one who had 3 children aged 12 years and upwards, all working at the loom as well as himself, with his wife employ ed doing up the work, earn in the whole more than $1 weekly." These are facts which speak for themselves. This is the doctrine of James Buchanan, in 1840. Ten cent is about the average stand ard of European labor. And it is to this standard be wished ours to e reduced, now do you like it, ye honest laboring men ol Pennsylvania? "Niogerism." There is a blackguardism in politics specially In vogue among the loco focos, which induces them to denominate all efforts against the extension of slavery as "niggerism." In our city, it was not indige nous, but was imported here from Virginia by a miserable spiritual rapping, vagabonding fel low, who is now telling Pennsylvania demo crats how they must vote to please the slave power. But the only real specimen of "nie- gcrisra." or negro worshipping we have seen is to be found among the laws framed bv the Border Ruffian Legislature of Kansas, one of which enacts that any person enticing, convey ing away, or kidnapping a white child from its parents or guardians in the Territory of Kan sas, shall suffer the penalty of $ix month im prisonment in the connty jail, and bo further li able to such fine as the discretion of the Court may suggest. Another law makes the penal ty for enticing, conveying away, or kidnap ping a negro child in said Territory Death ! So, for stealing a tchile baby, six months im prisonment is the humane and just extent of the law.' For stealing a negro baby, Death. PkH'a.

TEX KAJTSAS QTTESTIOY DT C0VGKES3. Last week, Mr. Douglass made a report on Kansas affairs, which proposes a new bill, pro- Tiding for the appointment of five Commis sioners by the President, who are to take a census of all the legal voters in the Territory, and make a fair apportionment of the dele gates to be elected by each county to form a Constitution. No person is to be allowed to vote whose name does not appear on the list as a leral voter. The election for delegates is to be held on the day of the Presidential elec tion, and the Convention is to assemble on the first Monday in December, and decide wheth er it be expedient for Kansas to come into the Union at that time, and if so to preceed to form a "Constitution and State Government, which shall be of Republican form. ' The bill provides further that no law shall be enforced in the Territory infringing the liberty of speech or of the press, or the right of the peo ple to bear arms ; illegal Toting to be punish ed, or fraud and violence at elections ; all white male inhabitants of 21 years of age are to be allowed to vote if they have resided in the territory 3 months previons to the day of election, and no other test shall be required. No law shall be made, or have force or effect which shall require a test oath or an oath to support any act of Congress or other legisla tive act, as a qualification for office, or as a juror, or which shall restrain or prohibit the free discussion of any law or subject of legis lation, or the free expression of opinion there on by the people of the Territory. This bill passed the Senate on the Sd, by a vote of 33 yeas to 12 nays. In the House, on the 30th June, the bill to admit Kansas with her free Constitution, as a State, was rejected by one majority. On Tues day, Mr. Barclay moved a reconsideration of the Tote, upon which a warm debate sprun np, but pending a motion to lay Barclay's mo tion on the table, Mr. Howard presented the Report of the Kansas Investigating Commit tee. The Committee report the following, facts and conclusions established by the testi mony : 1. That each election in the Territory held under the organic or alleged Territorial law has been carried by organized invasion from the State of Missouri, by which the people of the Territory have been prevented from exer cising the rights secured to them by the or ganic law. 2. That the alleged Territorial Legislature was an illegally constituted body, and had no power to pass Talid Iawj, and their enactments are, therefore, null and void. 3. That these alleged laws have not, as a general thing, been used to protect persons and property and to punish wrong, but lor un lawful pnrjoses. 4. That the election under which flic sitting delegate, John W. Whitfield, holds bis seat, was not held in pursuance ot any valid law, and that it should be regarded only as the ex pression of the choice of those resident citi zens who voted for him. 5. That the election under which the con testing Delegate, Andrew II. Reeder, claims his seat, was not held in pursuance of law, and that it should be regarded only as an expres sion of the choice of the resident citizens who voted for him. C. That Andrew II. Reeder received a great er number ot votes of resident citizens than John W. Whitfield for Delegate. 7. That in the present coiftlition of the Ter ritory a fair election cannot be hel l without a new census, a stringent and well guarded elec tion law, the selection of impartial Judges,. and the presence ot United states troops at every place of election. 8. That the various elections held by the people of the Territory preliminary to the for mation of the State Government, have" been as regular as the disturbed condition of the Territory would allow ; and that the Constitu tion passed by the Convention, held in pursu ance of said elections, embodies the will of a majority of the people. As it is not the province of your Committee to suggest remedies for the existing troubles in the Territory of Kansas,tbey content them selves with the foregoing statement of facts. All of which is respectfully submitted. WILLIAM "A. HOWARD, JOHN SHERMAN. On the 3d inst., Mr. Barclay's motion to re consider was carried by a vote of 101 to 97.

Intrizninir. emissaries from Utah have penetrated into all parts of England, making proselytes, and sepcrating husbands and wives, mothers and children, and despatching their infatuated converts to the Paradise of Lust, on the Great Salt Lake. The English news papers represent the state of things in some of the Tillages as truly deploring and alarming. The Preston Guardian says lt is not unusu al for workingmen to return home at night, and find their houses deserted, the furniture carried away, and a long list of debts unex pectedly incurred. Tradesmen, too, in seek ing after debtors, are astonished to find those who had promised to pay, on their way to the land of promise."
