Tho steamship Persia arrived at New York
yesterday from Liverpool with news from En
rope one week later than previous advices.—
Breadstnffs have experienced a considerable
decline. The action of the Peace Conferen
ces was still unknown. In London, the Covent
Garden Theatre has been totally destroyed by
fire. The Emperor of the French has deliver
ed an interesting speech at the opening of the
Chamber of Peers. Denmark has again pro
posed the capitalization of the Sound Dues ,
and Russia has readily acceded to the propo.
anion. In the Spanish Cortes a member has
made a remarkable attack on the ecclesiastics
and the Pope, but it was repelled by a member
of the Cabinet. The steamship Quaker City
had arrived at Liverpool from New York, and
sailed again on her return voyage. No news
of the steamship Pacifio is brought by the Per
sia. The Americans in Rome who celebrated
Washigntou's birthday have projected a mon
ument in France to the memory of Lafriyette.
NEW HAMPSHIRE STANDS FIRM.
The. Election in this State for Governor, Le
gislature, &e., was hold last Tuesday. There
were three tickets in the field, viz :—Locofoco,
old line Whig, and American. Notwithstaud
ing this division of the Opposition forces, Pierce
Locofocoism was again sublected to a total
route. The following despatch, tells the whole
story
CONCORD, March 13, 1856.
The State has been again carried by the
Americans and Republicans. They will have
a majority in the Legislature and Gov. Metcalf,
(American,) if not chosen by the people, which
is yet doubtful, will be by the Howe and Sen
ate in Convention next June. It has been the
most memorable contest ever waged in New
Hampshire.
- •
The most desperate efforts were made by the
National Administration to carry the State.—
Impartial witnesses testify that so vehement au
effort was never before made by any party in
that State. As the home of the President, who
is now a candidate for reelection, it was deem.
ed at 'Washington and Concord, by the Demo•
cratie leaders, to be of the utmost consequence
that it should be carried by their party, with a
view to an effect on the Presidential canvass.—
The Democratic party has gained largely over
its vote of last year, but not enough to answer
the purpose, and the American and Republican
combination has carried a majority in both
branches of the Legislature, and given it candi•
dates for State officers the highest number of
votes.
Foreign Capital. for Home Use.
If thd country does not relapse into the war
fever—we see, says the New York Express,
it will not be the fault of the Administration,
nor the Adniinistratiou organ—the "Union."
Simultaneously with a decidedly belligerent
editorial on the "Enlistment question"—the
prevarications of Lord Clarendon—and the
correspondence which the President sends
a Message to the House, asking for three mil
lions of dollars to increase the militarylicien

Difficulties with England, growing out of
such questions as the Foreign Enlistments,
and the misunderstanding about the Clayton-
Bulwer Treaty, might all be settled easily e•
nough,—we think,—had the administration
been half as anxious to keep the peace abroad,
—without compromising the honor of the coon• ,
try,—as it, is to increase its capital stock,—for
some Cincinnati Couvention,—at home. There
is no species of demagogueism that is so likely
to damage the interests of tho country, as that
which selects for its field of operations our for.
eign relations,—yet, there is one wickedness,
or one weakness, more than another, to which
modern Democracy, and modern Democratic
Administrations are disposed,—it is this. The

would like to bring about a state of things,—
leading to the same result.. Mr. Marcy lets off

We it 'Wed,
CONGRESS.-KANZAS
We publish this week a copy of the re
solutions offered by Mr. Dunn, of Indiana,
in the House of Representatives ; togeth
er with the vote there upon. By this vote,
it will be seen that no , , a single southern
member, Whig, Democrat, or Know No
thing, (living south of Pennsylvania, and
the Ohio River) voted in favor of freedom
in Kanzas.
'l'o enable our readers clearly to under
stand these resolutions, and the objects of
the friends of freedom to Kanzas, in pas
sing them, it must be known, that at the
time this territory was laid off by Congress
there were hut few white people living in
it. The territory up to that time having
belonged to the Indians ; and being part of
the territory which the Missouri Compro
mise of 1820 had declared should be for
ever free and in no way open to slavery.
The Missouri Compromise having been de
stroyed by Pierce and the Congress of 18-
54, the slave.holders attempted to seize up
on and conquer this territory, and forcibly
occupy it. A large number of settlers
from the free States, having gone and set
tled there, it was soon seen that if these
free settlers were left undisturbed, the ter
ritory must shortly become a free state.
'l'o prevent this the slave-holding inhab
itants of the western counties of Missou
ri, entered into the territory, armed with
cannon and small arms ; burnt many hou
ses of the free state people, and murdered
numbers of the inhabitants. In addition
to this, •vlten the time for holdings territo
rial election for Legislators came, the Nis
sourians went in armed bands, to all the
polls where the free settlers were weak in
numbers, drove them from the election
grounds, and elected delegates to suit them
selves. Amongst the members elect was
a lawyer named Stringfellow, who lived at
that time with his family in Missouri, and
still lives there, When this Legislature
met, this Stringfellow went over again to
Kanzas, and was elected Speaker of the
House of this Missouri Legislature—this
so called. Legislature, then proceeded to
pass several laws, as they called them—
chiefly concerning slavery, which they de
clared to be permanently established is
Kanzas; and provided that if any ono
spoke against slavery in Kansas, he should
be confined in the Penitentiary five years,
and if any one attempted to destroy slave
ry in Kanzas, and liberate the slaves, he
should suffer death. The rest of these
laws are of a like character ; and to secure
future elections by importations of Missou
rians from the border counties there was a
provision that any one living in Kansas,
J- .-- -..-,- -
that the Missourians coming over in the
morning and paying the tax of a dollar,
may vote for all officers in the evening.—
These are the laws which President Pierce
in his proclamation calls on the people of
Kansas to obey, and tells them if they fail
to obey them, he will order Col. Sumner,
who commands a regiment of mounted ri.
Semen, stationed in the Territory, to march
upon the settlements, and slaughter the
inhabitants, with the sabres and rifles of
his soldiers; a large number of whom are
foreigners enlisted in the Eastern cities.
"ST. FRANCIS" AGAIN.
The Globe would have the public to be
lieve that it is uninterested in the Catholic
question, by "dismissing the subject" of the
monastery of St. Francis ; and assumes
that we have mistaken our moorings by
identifying Jesuitism with Francis canism.
The writer admits that "European govern
ments have, at times, expelled them"
meaning these monastic institutions—but
asserts that it was because those govern
ments had infidel proclivities. All this is
so perfectly ridiculous, and evidences such
an entire lack of historical knowledze on
the part of the writer, that we deem it un
necessary to make the least comment. But
we will answer another aSsertion he makes
wherein, if he be a Catholic, he has pro
ven himself a good one, by the denial of a
positive fact, or a very bad one by his ig
norance of Popish edicts, which are Roman
Catholic laws, binding in all cases.
The writer in the Globe. denies that "Ca
tholics owe temporal allegiance to a for
eign sovereign ;" let us see by a brief,
calm and unbiased glance, if this be so.
There is at work in our country at the
present time, and it has been working since
the foundation of our government, a system
of Catholic cunning, which we will deno
minate Political Popery, whio is design
ed with all its diplomacy and 'Jesuitism to
enslave Politically this country, and bring
it and its institutions under Popish sway
directly or indirectly. We, and all true
Americans and Protestants, whether Re
publicans, Whigs, Democrats or what not,
call this influence Political Romanism be
cause it interferes with the political institu
tions of the country. Romanists—the wri
in the Globe for instance—call it a spiritu
al power, exercised in civil matters, in all
civil institutions Willa' may conoern reli
gion, It claims to govern and control the
education of the country, and have it solely
under the sway of the Church, so as to
educate all to be Roman Catholics, and this
is the real intention and meaning of the
"Laymen" who ask for the incorporation
of the Franciscan monastery. This is one
thing—another is, that all Church proper.
ty of every sort, and to any extent, is solely
to be in the hands of the Bishop anti cler
gy; and that is the second. A third is,
and it embraces everything you please, and
we think, is overwhelming evidence to
prove that the assertion that Catholics,
Roman Catholics We mean, are bound to
obey the Pope in all temporal ns well as
spiritual things—that every political insti
tution should be made and conducted so to
promote the good of the Church of Rome
or the greatest glory of God. Or, in a
word, in the very terms of the canon law
and Boniface: g , That it is necessary to
salvation . that every human creature
should be subject to the Bishop of Rome,
in civil and ecclesiastical affairs;" and
the Pope is the sole infallible judge of law
and its operation in practice. Is there, or
could anything be made clearer, more com
prehensive, or rendered more emphatic
than this. It is indubitable evidence to
prove the contrary of what the writer in
the Globe asserts, and believing it to be
such. we shall pass on.
The Court 6f Rome, whose seat is Rome
were never more busy than they are now,
in order to subvert the political institutions
•of the United States, so far as to make
them subservient to the Church of Rome.
The heads of Popish departments in Ame
rica are doing their utmost to bring about
this event. Their leading periodicals, call
ed religious, but as truly political as reli
gious, down to the poor mouth-pieces of
country priests—(and we may include the
Globe in this list,)—every individual from
John Hughes down to the miserable scrib
bler in the Globe, are bending all their en
deavors to the same end. Political parties
aro courted of disowned just in proportion
as they aro not available to aid the Pope in
shaping the political institutions of the
country. We reiterate, then, what we de
clared in our last article on this subject,
that sound principles must lead all true
patriots, whatever their creed* may be, to
resist as citizens, by opposing such insti
tutions as the ;Third Order of Franciscans.'
It is enough that every Protestant citizen,
in accordance with the Constitution pledges
his life, his property, and his sacred honor
to maintain to Roman Catholics equal ci
vil and religious principles with others,
and no more; and if Romanists claim the
religious right of erecting machinery in
our midst, for cutting off the heads of here
tics, as they do, we heretics, must claim
the political right of wearing our own
heads, and resisting the claim to the very
death, They call the claim of cutting off
our heads a religious right, and Ave call the
claim of wearing our own heads our inulie-
rights are in dead-set opposition to thb re
ligion
of Rome. The compact et the poll-
tical is on our side, and wt . _ 'heretics will ne
ver
give it up ;No NEVE, The Roman
ists have introduced this controversy en us
by their principles, their claims, and their
practises, and, as citizens we must resist it
to the death, both as part of our religious
and political creeds; and this is right.—

XXXIVth CONGRESS.
W.tsulauTos, March 18, 1856.
Is the U. S. Senate, to-day, Mr. Hamlin in
troduced a bill regulating the appraisement of
imported merchandise. Mr. Houston present.
ed a memorial from the Maryland'Legislature,
endorsing the action of the Virginia Legisla
ture, condemning the Naval Board, and took
occasion to speak in denunciation of the action
of that Board. His remarks gave rise to a
sharp debate, in which Messrs. Clayton, Bay
ard, Mallory ancl o othets participated.
In the Mouse the Kansas contested election
case came up, and Mr. Smith, of Va., spoke in
opposition to the resolution to send for persons
and papers. The • debate was , continued by
Messrs. Granger, English, Lake, Bartlett and
Hall, bat the House, was almost deserted, and
no interest manitested.
WASLIIINTON i March 19. 1856.
In the U. S. Senate, today, the Military Aca
demy Appropriation bill was taken ifp and pas
sed. Mr. Clayton then finished his remarl.•s on
CCntral American affairs—denouncing Walker's
conduct in regard to the Transit Company, and
giving his opinions in regard to the difficulties
with Great Britain. The Senate then resumed
the consideration of the deficiency appropria
tion bill, to which amendments were made.
In the House, the Kansas debate was con-
tinned by Messrs. Bowie and Hickman. Mr.
Bennett moved to amend the resolution by the
appointment of a committee of three members
to proceed to Kansas to collect evidence in re
gard to allitirs generally, which was agreed to
—yeas 101, nays 92.
Mr. Bowie spoke against Mr. Reeder's posi
tion in the Kansas case, and against granting
the Committee power to send for persons and
Pa rifickman then proceeded to close the do.
bate nn the resolution.
Mr. Hickman said it wan admitted that there
had been an invasion of Kansas by armed for.
cos from Missouri, and the rights of the people
virtually subverted. Had not the committee
the right to inquire into these facts? He awl.
Lilted the present troubles to the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise, but at the same time
he would not vote now for its restoration. It
was filched basely and ignominiously. and had
gone into the arms of debauchees, deflowpred,
dishonored and polluted, and cannot be rester.
ed to its original eunetity and purity. He
I could not, therefore, again take it to his arms.
Ho looked forward to the day when those in•
strumental in this act of wickedness and folly
will repent in sack cloth and ashes.
The House then proceeded to vote upon the
resolutiou ender the operation of the previous
, question,
Mr. Bennett, of Mass., had moved to amend
the Committees resolution to send for persons
and papers, by substituting Joseph 11. Bradley
and Sidney S. Beater asCommissioners, cloth.
ed with full power to take testimony.
The House adopted—yeas 104, nays 91—in
lieu of Mr. Bennett's proposition, Mr. Dunn's
substitute, authorizing the Speaker to appoint
a committee of three members to take testimo
ny, appropriating $lO,OOO to defray the expen
ses, and requesting the President to give mili
tary protection to the committee if necessary.
Mr. Cobb, of Ga., said, as now there was no
remaining preposition which ought to be adop
ted, lie moved to lay the subject on the table.
Negatived—yeas 93, nays 100.

THE NOMINATIONS.
The Albany Register, the leading American
paper of New York State speaks as follows, of
the nomination of Fillmore
By this nomination, we have not only bee 4
harnessed as n party into the service of a fac
tion, but we have beencomtnitted to the propa
gandism of Slavery. We have got to fight the
battles of slavery—for embodied in the candi
date, is whatever of the pro-Slavery sentiment
there is of the North. He is committed to it
by his antecedents, by the great lending fea
tures of his administration. We have got to
sustain the abrogation of the Missouri Compro
'like and the Kansas nitd Nebraska bill. We.
are compelled to stand in defence of Squatter
Sovereignty, and upheld the long catalogue of
wrong and outrage which have followed the
breaking down of the barriers against the ex
tension of human slavery. We have gut to
stand from the begiuning to the end at' the
campaign, side by side with Slavery Propagan
dism;—for we tell the American pepole that it
was that power, cod that alone, whirl, placed
the nominee of the American Ccnvention in
his present position. It was because it in the
man himself; and in his antecedents, n platform
which answered its purpose, that it gave him
its support.
The first step to be taken is, to betray the
fiftylthouband Freesoil Whigs and Freesoil De
mocrats. who enlisted under our banner. We
have not to falsify our pledges to them that the
American movement was not a Silver Grey or
a pro-slavery moiement. We have got to falsi
fy our pledges to them that we would ignore
the slavery issues, and stand upon our Ameri
can principles, leaving the ultraists, North and
South, to settle that question tunongtheutselves.
We have got to do all this, because in the man
himself, as well nt the South, we present the
slavery I%ue. Haring thus betrayed our friends
ar.a falsified our pledges, we have got to swing
from our American moorings into the service
of the Slavery Propaganda'and fight its battles
com
pels us to do so.
In this position of matters, the question ar
rises—What is to be done? Others may do
as they please. We will keep our faith. We
will not falsify our past pledges. We will not
betray a groat Cause, nor the friends who have
confided in no. As an Editor, we will not take
brick our assertion that the Americas move
meat in the State of New York was not a Sil
ver Grey movement. We will not take back
what we said in addressing, during the last
campaign more than forty public assemblies
of American men, that the American Party
was not a pro-slavery party. We have no stom
ach for the battles of Silver Gray faction—we
have had enough of extterience in +hat way.—
We have no stomach for the bate of Slavery
—and rue. will not fight than.
Let no man suppose. that we intend to aban
don the great American doctrines, the princi
plce of the organization, or the party which up
holds them. New Jersey and York stand a
lone. of all the Northern States, in upholding
the Philadelphia nomination. All the other
States north of Mason J.: Dixon's Line aro true
to American Principles, true to the great A
merican Party, while they are not fillse to the
universal sentiment of the Free States on the
subject of Slavery. We were content and mix
lees to ignore the subject of Slavery; we did
what we could to banish from discussion the
whole question and leave it where it belongs—
to Congress and the Federal Courts ; but driv
en from this position of neutrality, and forced
to choose betwen the betrayal of the American
Party into the service of Slavery, or the aban
donment of a nomination in which the Free
States had no voice we choose the latter. Wo
go with the American Party of the North, save
'New York and New Jersey alone; and if we
must take sides on the great issue of Human
Slavery, we take the side of New England, of
Pennsylvania ' Ohio, and the entire West.—
Compelled at last as they were to choose be
tween uniting Americanism with Slavery of
Freedom, we choose the latter; and in full
of the consequences, we, being forced to strike,
will strike with those of our American brethren
who have added to their American platform,
Freedom to all the territory north of the Mis
souri Compromise line,

Union; such as protection to domestic indus
