Goat Island, instead of a mere knoll, turns out to bo a seventy acre tract of woodland, with a perpendicular lront ot , four hundred yards in length, between ! the two falls; although most of the pic- turcs we see represent them as near to gether. The looso rocks piled up about' the foot of the falls, seem at first like tbe three and four foot specimens in a moun tain brook, but in reality are as big as a louse," and weigh lundrcds of tons. It is difficult to realize at first that it is over 150 feet down to the surface of the deep green, troubled river, and a third of a mile across to tho opposite bank. There is more of unshorn forest wildness in the scenery than I expected to fiud. And the two great cataracts look so near and thun der so emphatically, it seems incredible that instead of a few yards, tley are re spectively one and two tundrcd rods dis tant from the observer.

If that Senator hopes to win popular confidence and ap plause, if ho hopes to turn back the tide of popular favor that is Hearing John C Fremont to the Executive chair, by this resolution, which I here pronounce, which honorable men in and out of the Senate will pronounce, and which tho country will pronoucc, small and mean, he will find liuisclf sadly mistaken. Wherever this proposition goes, high minded men will treat it with derision. jl would not stoop to such a warfare as this. If it was aimed at James Buchan an, I would spurn it from me. This is not the first time, Mr. Presi dent, that the shafts of political maligni ty Lave been lurlcd at men who lave served the Republic, and it is not tie first time that the Senate has been called upon to grope among the archives of tho Gov ernment, to discover some account, or the records of some account, between the Government and men who have been in-1 iraous yote of the House aud Senate and trusted with public funds, out of which ; the approval of 1'resiJent 1'iurce on th something would be distorted for partirau j 2!th of July, 1S51.

What was gained by these assaults upon Jackson, Harrison, Taylor,Caas aud Scott? I venture to say here, to-day, that all these assaults upon these distinguished men, conc.-ruing their monetary transac tions with the Government, never lost them the confidence or support of any portion of the American people.

I shall tote, Sir, for this inquiry, but I wash my hands of its meanness its abject bitterness. The Senator from Pennsylvania assumes to be Mr. Buchanan's fugleman here. I have sometimes thought the Senator.in his deep anxiety, felt that he carried Mr. Bu chanan on lis shoulders. I hold Mr. Bu chanan responsible for an attempted blow at lis rival struck by the land of tho Senator from Pennsylvania who professes to be his particular friend, who is ever watchful of his interest and fame. So prompt is the Senator from Pennsylvania to rush to the defence of Mr. Buchanan, that I have come to regard him as that gentleman's "premonitory symptom" here, Nothing but that Senator s extreme desira to better the waning fortunes of lis chief, could have induced him to engage in this political device. Mr. President, the people will regatJ this as persecution. It will bring odium not upon Col. Fremont, but upon tho men who originated it and move in it. It will rather redound, as all such at- tacks against candidate ft U p . 1 . . gravest and most transcendant issues ever presented to the people of the United States. All that the Senator from I'encsylvama and his candidate can make out of his in quiry will not weigh a feather in the com ing contest, which is to decide whether Freedom or Slavery shall sway the policy of the Republic. Iowa young Iowa has uttered her voice for John C. Fremont, by a majority of thousands. Maine will respond to Iowa for the East, in a few weeks, in a voice not to be mistaken. The Seuator can not break the mighty current that is bearing the friends of free Kansas on to essurreJ triumph by this petty political mioucuvre, which gentlemen should not stoop to en gage in. Pennsylvania, on tha 11th nf October, may teach her Senator that sho is not to be won by attempts to defame tha Chieftain, around whose bauner tbe liber al, progressive. Democratic masses of the couutry are rallying for the coming figUt. I have not spoken, Mr. President, of the motives that have actuated the Seoa- j tor from Pennsylvania iu introducing this i inquiry. I have nothing to do with nu ! tives. I have spoken of the act, and I - le c'" ......... . , j j upon Col. Fremont, the Seuator will wiu no laurels by it that any oue will uesiM to pluck from his brow. The Southern Elections.
