The Chambers gravated by the overbearing insolence burg Valley Spirit truly observes that of the ofticrra and men conducting the the attempt will be fruitless. The pco search. pie have had enough of new parties. But our national honor is in safe hands. The prompt and of action of President BUCHANAN in the premises entitles him to the admiration of every man who has an American heart beat ing in his bosom, or who possesses a spark of genuine patriotism. Those flagrant and atrocious outra rages, committed in our own waters, almost at our very doors, are not mere accidents, to bo passed over by a dun- sy apology, without any point, empha sis, or moaning. And hence our Gov ernment has sent an earnmst protest to the British Minister at Washington, and also demanded from the British government, through Mr. Dalias, our Minister at London, an explanation and an immediate abandonment of these high-handed proceedings on the part of British cruisers, with full indemnity for damage done. Our Home Squadron has also been increased, and ordered to forcibly interfere, if necessary, to prevent a repetition of such out rages. What the upshot will be no one can tell. Perhaps one good result may in the end-come oat of these glaring insults to oar flag. England, although she has for a time abandoned the practice, never yielded her preteeeons to the right to search the vessels of other na tions. The whole question has now been re-opened, and it is the hope of nearly every Aerican that oar govern ment, in settling these wrongs, will bring about a clear understanding that no American vessel shall hereafter be so interfered with nndelr any pretext. The Dishoaorable Exception. It L, said that there are exceptions to every general rule, and perhaps it is true. We stated in-our last paper that every press in the United States was speaking out in one tone, one language of patriotic indignation against the unwarrantable aggressions of the min ions of British insolence upon .our com merce, our flag, and our national honor. Before the ink was fairly dry with which this statement had been made, the New York Tribaute came to hand, containing protif that there existed at least one editor in .Amerirs without an Anterican heart, without a spark of genuine patriotism or a sense of public honor. True to the interests of his treasonable principles and designs, the editor of that notorious free love, tree speech, and free nigger journal, has the dishonorable credit of being the first and (so far as we have yet seen) the only editor in the United States that unblushingly and unequivocally sympa thises with old England in her recent piratical foray upon American rights and American interests.

That party was started to purify the political atmosphere. It pm lied politics much as a dead sheep in dog day. purifies the atmosphere around it. Everything that it touched became bloated with corruption, and it soon fell apart from sheer rotteness. After it, came the Republican party— rather more respectable but quite as dangerous. Two years have car- ried it from its ;Indio to its coffin, and now those who rejoiced at its birth and mourned at its death are trying their hand at a " new party " again. Unfortunately fur them, their now par ties are always made up of old meter lals--the debris of defunct political or ganizations; hence. they are not lasting. The Whig party lasted many years, 'homes. it wag a respectable party, a national party, and was led by men of distinguished ability and unquestioned patriotism. At its dissolution, the good men who belonged to it betook them- I selves to the ranks of the Democracy, 'while the political gamblers who had been the death of it sot about the for- Imatian of * new party. The reptile of 1854 got his head crushed in 1855. Then the opposition managers got a new revelation, and in 1856 we had another new party. Strange to say, the political atmosphere purified so of ten, needs purifying again. The "dis in feeling agents," CRITTENDEN, GIIZELY and FOlNEr—rag, tag and bobtail—all at work. Out of the rotten carcass of Know Nothingism, and the dead body of Black Republicanism, and the cor ruption that has sloughed off from the Democratic party, leaving it in perfect health, these immaculate politicians are moulding a new party, for the pur ification of the politics of the country.' But the people have no faith in them, and their project will fail. It is to ay= ident that they aim' at their own ad vancement and not at tho public good. Traitors to all parties, no party will trust them; and plot as they will, they can do but little beyond breaking up the Republican organization and driv ing its best members—those in whom a love of the Union still lingers• in spite of their evil associations—over to the Democratic party. The forma tion of a new opposition party will strengthen the indomitable and uncon querable Democracy, and we shall tri umph in 1860 even more signally than we triumphed in 1856. The Land Bribe. The Indiana State Journal says: Tho more the charge made by the Republi cans, that the Knauss ordinance is a "bribe" to the people of Kansas to ac cept the Locompton Constitution, is ex amined, the more ridiculous it appears. It gives no more than the Catrrxansx- MONTOONIIIT bill, and one hundred and seventy sections of land less than the celebrated Duns bill of ISSB, which re ceived the approval of the Black Re publican Congress of that year. Ac cording to Republican logic, the Norm nomsa.r bill is no "bribe"—the Dtrxx bill was no "bribe"—but the ENGLISH bill is a "bribe" to the people of Kansas to come into the Union, when ihe Kna uss ordinance is precisely similar in its provisions to the MONITIOXERY grant, and less liberal than the Dusx bill, a Republican measure, which granted more land than either." When will the Anti•Lecompton journals of this city publish the different land ordinances, so that their readers may test their asser tions by the facts? Come, gentlemen, we wait for this proof of your honesty. —Pennsylvanian. Trouble in the Enemy's Clap. Hon. Lamm, TODD, Chairman of the "Union" (Know Nothing and Black Republican) State Committee, has issued a call for a State Convention, to assemble at .Harrisburg, on the Bth of July, to nominate candidates for Su preme Judge and Canal Commissioner, to be supported by ail the opponents of the Democratic party. The Philadelphia .News—the organ, par excellence, of the defunct Know Nothing party in this State—files excep tions to this call, on the ground that it has no idea of permitting the "Ameri can party" to be swallowed up by the great Aaaoonda of Black Republican ism. It closes its objections by saying: It is one thing to talk about a union of political elements, and another_ to accomplish it. .Mr. Todd, we think, is on the wrong track."

He has ordered Captain Hartetene to the command of the steamer Arctic, and Commander John Rodgers to that of the Water Witch— both now fitting out at the Brooklyn Navy Yard—to proceed to the Gulf in search of the British steamer Styx, and to interpose American guns between the British cruisers and our merchant men. Other vessels will follow as rap idly as they can be got ready for the service. The President is determined to put a stop to these outrages at once; and if a collision should result, the re sponsibility must rest upon the British government, which gave the offensive orders. Senator Mallory, the other day, re ported a bill authorizing the construc tion of six screw sloops-of-war, of draught not to exceed fourteen feet, one to be a side-wheel steamer for the China seas, with draught of eight feet only. The bill will most probably pass, as will another for the construction of ton or twenty gun boats. A bill was introduoed by Mr. Doug. las, in the Senate, on Monday, " to re strain and redress outrages upon the flag and citizens of the United States," as collows: Be it enacted, dx., That, in ease of flagrant violation of the laws of nations by outrage upon the flag, soil, or citi zens of the United States, or upon their property, under circumstanoes requir ing prompt redress, and when, in the opinion of tho President, delay would be incompatible with the honor and dignity of the Republic, the President is hereby authonzed to employ such force. as ho may deem necessary to prevent the perpetration of such out rages, and to obtain just redress and satisfaction for the same, when perpe trated; and it shall be his duty to lay the facts of each .ease, together with the reasons for his action in the prem ises, before Congress, at the earliest practicable moment, for such further action thereon as Congress may direct. The measure proposed is one of the highest importance, and demanded by many good and sufficient reasons. The Minnesota Members of Congress have been admitted, in spite of the the tious opposition of the Know Nothings and Black Republicans. Tallauding ham, Democrat, has ousted Campbell, K. N. and B.

Late intelligence from Kama* rep resents that highwaymen and despera does are roaming through the Territo ry in organized bands, indulging in dep redations upon the property of the citi zens, and wherever resistance is made to their proceedings murdering the in nocent victims of their plunder. That this lamentable condition of affairs should exist is not to he wondered at, however much it may be deplored, and wo apprehend again and again will we be compelled to chronicle fresh outrages upon tbo lives and property of the res idents of that distracted Territory, ere the reformation and security ensured by the new enactment can be carried out by the officers of the law. The settlement of the Kansas queatien Congress (remarks the Reading Ga zette) loaves no other moans of liveli hood to the miserable fanatical tools of the Abolition loaders who were for warded to that section by the " Emi grant Aid Society " during .the contin uance of tho existing political discus sion; and throwing cif their disguise, they now sally forth in their true char acter of robbers and murderers, levying tribute upon their neighbors and shoot ing down those who refuse to replenish their empty purses. That these spirits are but the type of those nho sent. them to the field of their exploits can not be denied, and upon such mon as Parson Beecher and his satellites, who c:othed in an hypocritical garb of piety and purity preach peace and quietude with their lips, while with their bands and hearts they are committing das tardly and heinous cnmos, may be vis ited the censure and condemnation of all honorable and proper thinking cit izeDB. The purchasers of the weapons with which these roving brigands are sup plied are equally culpable with those by whom the fatal shot is fired, and doubtless each new outrage committed by these strolling vagabonds is hailed with plaudits of approval by the Sancti monious members of the "Aid Society."

Itesolu tions wore adopted congratulating their , colored friends throughout the country, and inviting them to emigrate at once to the -free soil of Kansas, as a place where the black man has his proper po- sition. The _resolutions approving of the doings of the Convention were ob jected to on one ground only, and that was, allowing fbreigners to vote simply on taking out their first papers.

Shocking Mwder by Boys in St. Louis. —Three boys employed in a barber shop at St. Louis, ' have boon arrested for the murder of Hugh.lkwnie. Ono of the boys, named Theod6re Debold, aged 17, has confessed that Downie went into the barber shop and was shaved. He had visited the shop on two other occasions, and had conversed about mules, horses, &c., so as to give an idea tbat ho was a man of consider able wealth. Upon the evening in ques tion, (Sunday week,) after shaving, he invited Nicholas and Antonio, the two other boys, to go out and take a drink; when they came back, Antunie persuad ed him to be shampooned, and Downie took a chair for that purpose; Antonio then drenched his hair ir, the fluid used for cleaning the head, and purposely let some drops fall into his eyes, thereby blinding him effectually. While this was going on Nicholas took a halter, which had previou s ly been prvared fur the purpose, put the noose around the neck of the victim, and drew it so tight that the very life was choked out of him in a few seconds. They then threw the body in the cellar, after robbing it of $5O, a silver watch, silk guard and gold shirt buttons. , Murder and Suicide.—Taos, N.

In my anNial report r estimated that there would bb a balance in the treasury, at the end of the present Steil year, of $426,875 67, which would have required . a deficiency in our resources of five mile, lions of dollars to be provided for—stit's that amount Is necessary, at all times, to be in the treasury, for its prompt and successful operation. This estimate was based upon an expenditure limited to the appropriations then authorised by law. Since that time, the demands upon the treasury, for the present fiscal year, have been increased by legislation to an amount, not far below ten millions of dollars. Another important element of that estimate was the probable re ceipts from customs and other sources during the then three remaining quar ters of the fiscal year. The actual receipts for that period, it is now believed will fall ten millions be low that estimate—attributable to the fact that tho trade and business of tho country have not recovered as rapidly from the effects of the Into revulsion as was then anticipated. Owing to these causes the twenty mil lions loan of treasury notes, authorized by the act, of December 23, 1857, will be exhausted in supplying the deficiencies in the treasury for the present fiscal year. Wo shall commence the next fiscal year dependent entirely upon the cur rent receipts into the treasury to meet all demands from it. _ In reply to a call upon the heads of the diffeten; departments, I have r - vivedatfleini in formation that the an ni : OT 837,000,000 will be probably called fur during the first two quarters of the next fiscal year. This sum does not in clude such timcunts as may IXT appro priated by Congress over and above the estimates submitted to them by the departments, and I have no data upon which to estimate Mr such expendi tures. Upon this point Congress is better able to form a correct opinion than I am. To meet these expenditures it is not prudent to rel3 i ! upon receipts into the treasury, estim ated upon the too rapid revival of trade and business. I be lieve that we may safely calculate upon_ receipts, during that period from all sources, of $25,000,000. Looking to this state of things, I recommend that authority be given to this department to supply any deficiencies that may arise in meeting till demands upon the treasury by an additional loan not ex ceeding $15,000,000. In view of the amount of treasury notes already issued, I recommend a loan for that amount to be negotiated for a period of tiet more than tenyears, at. a rate of interest not exceeding six per eentum. . • I have confined this inquiry to the two first quarters of the next fiscal year as Congress will re-assemble before the close of the second quarter„ and it will be time enough then, should it become necessary, to provide for fntigre contin gencies that cannot now be foreseen. I do not recommend any measure for increased taxation. It nould be unwise at this time to attempt a modification of trio-tariff act of March 3, 1857, for The reasons given in my annual report to Congress. Sufficient time has not elapsed to test the effcets of that act upon the revenue, considering the con dition of the country during the period of its operations. In addition to this consideration, neither the receipts nor the expenditures of the Government. 'should be estimated for in the future upon the basis of its present receipts and expenditures. The former have been, and still are, too seriously a ff ected by ie lute revulsion to justify a policy of legislation based upon a probable continuance of this state of things for uny considerable peiiod of time. The latter have been so greatly in creased by causes of the like temporary character as to preclude with equal propriety, the penicy of considering them as a basis for egtimating future expenditures. The most prominent of these temporary causes is the Utah ex pedition, which, it is hoped, will not reach beyond the end of the next fiscal year. During the period of an over flowing treasury a system of expol'idi ture was inaugurated in the building of custom houses, post otlices,court houses, and other pnblic works, which, fortu nately for the country,.has been check ed by the exhausted condition of the treasury. The time thus given for a more thorough and rigid inquiry into the necessity and propriety of these ex penditures, it is confidentialy• believed, will load to wise and salutary reforms. But retrenchments in other branches of the public service can, and I have no doubt will be effected. Attention should be directed more to the redaction of expenditures than to an increase of tax ation, to remedy the evils of an excess of expenditures over the means of the Government. A full treasury is an un propitious element in the work of re trenchment and reform. If measures should be now adopted to provide the treasury permanently with a sum equal to the present demands upon it, it might relieve the Government from some of its embarrassments, but would greatly weaken the effort to restrain the Government to an economical ex penditure of the public money. The revival of business, which can not be much longer delayed,. will, I am confident, insure from the present tariff a sufficient revenue for the support of the Government in ordinary times. - Extraordinary expenses, render* necessary by causes equally extraordi nary, al ways being of a tempc rary char acter, , should be provided for in a hate temporary temporary manner. This principle is too plain to require argument or illustration; it 1$ only necessary to call attention to it to i?om mand the approval of every intelfigent mind.
