Dickinson, struck out of the Gen? eral Appropriation bill, as passed by the House, the proviso that the Mileage of Members of CoDgrcss shall bereafcer be computed by the route on which the Mails arc transported between their respective places of residence and the City of Wash? ington, Also, the proviso that no Member coming from this Bide of the Rocky Mountains shall receive more than $1,000 Mileage per Session, while those from Oregon, Califor? nia and Utah shall receive but $2,000. ?By the way: Has there ever been a proposition for practical Reform that Daniel JS. Dickinson did not conspicuously oppose? or an abuse that he did not strenuously sup? port 1 ?These votes wore taken in Committee, and are not decisive. We trust the amend? ments reported by the Committee will be opposed and the Yeas and Nays called on them whenever the bill shall be reported. But we have faint hope of the Senate. Prodigality is there a second nature, where it is not the first. But the House can and phouid insist on its Provisos to the bitter end. If it does, they will prevail; we fear not otherwise. _ fgy^TiiE European News by the Pacific, which we publish this morning, will bo found interesting in dotail, though it chroni? cles no event of importance. Louis Na? poleon has been sporting his Presidentship at a grand naval review in the harbor of Cherbourg. Butcher Ilaynau has slipped eut of England by night, his design having fceen kept carefully concealed till it was con? summated. The English papers are still discussing the drubbing ho received, the Times standisig almost alone in his dofense. In Germany the ghost of Unity?so long practically a non-entity?seemed about to jbe annihilated, through the work of Austria. An open rupture between the latter country and PiusBia seems close at hand. From Denmark wo have nothing further, than that the theater of war is inundatod and the armies swamped; taking advantage of Which, a Committee from the Peace Con? gress is about trying the practice of its thoory. A Vote for Hutu unity! The House of Representatives on Satur Jay, in Committee on the Nayal Appropria? tion bill, voted to abolish the Spirit Ration in the Navy and pay tho Sailor !>1 50 more per month instead of it, and to abolish the J-'loyging of Seamen, oxoopt on duo convio* tion by a Court Martial,?no sentence to bo executed till twenty-four hours after it was pronounoed. We say it voted so, beo&use the adoption of Mr. Stanly's. amendment io tho proposed Abolition of Flogging clear, ly shows tho sonso of tho IIoubc and what its vote will be on tho main proposition. To voto Liquor out of tho Navy, (as was done on motion of Mr. A. Evans of Md.) j aiid not to banioh Flogging, would be too gross an inconsistency. Grog and tho Cat in tho Navy are Siamese twins, and will livo and die together. No vossel thorough Io purged of Alcohol, cabin as well as foro caf tie, is likely to bo tho scene of those mer? ciless ecourgings, often for frivolous causes, which, next Io Auctions, are the chief scandal of our Republic. And Mr. Stax 3.y's amendment so draws tho teeth of the cunent objections to tho Anti-Flogging Re? form that we trust its succoss is cortain. ? But it will require vigilance and reso? lution. The Commutation of Grog Ration fens carried in Committee last Session, but Jost on coming out, on the question of agreeing to tho Commvttoe's Report?Ayes, C>3 ; Noes, 71. The Anti-Flogging proviso Jras carried in Committee, and sustained pn coming out of Committee?Ayes, 79 ; ISccs, 37 ; and tho bill thus passed the JIoueo ; but this humane provision was jtiiokeu out by the Senate by a vote of 32 io 17?Daniel S. Dickinson of course voting in the majority to sustain Flogging. The jbill thus went back to the House, and the Anti-Flogging omondmont was given up in Committee of Conference or juggled out of fcmith somehow or other. We restate theso facts as our excuse for expecting the friends of tho Sailor in either Jlouso to be active and earnest. They can Carry the Roform if they will, and sat all the canting protenses that it is 'in the ,trroi>g bill,' not in proper form, &o. at de? fiance.

There is considerable anxiety manifested : with regard to the course which may be pur- j sued by the Whig State Convention whioh meets at Syracuse on Thursday?anxiety j with regard not to the candidates who may ! be selected, but as to the principles which ? may be affirmed. A good deal of exertion is obviously making in favor of the ' lie low,' ' keep dark,'10 hush' policy pursued by the late truck-and-dicker gathering at the same | place, and it is quite exteneively represented 1 that, if the Whigs will but be content (like the Barnburners) to conceal or dissemble . their convictions, they can have a first-rate chance for the offices. We did n't like this course at Philadel? phia, and we cannot like it in New-York. To our mind, it is equally unworthy and impolitic. The Whigs of New-York are not ashamed of the principles for which they have hitherto contended, and we think it the only wise course to say so, and to state with clearness and emphasis their present attitude and convictions. Their late difference as to the expediency of taking somewhat less than half a loaf rather than no bread involved no difference of principle, for none existed among them. We do not know a Whig in the State who agrees with Gass and Dickinson in pronouncing uncon? stitutional the entire action of the Federal Government from 1847 to 1*4* with respect to Slavery in the Territories. We know no ! New York Whig who would have consent- j cd, under any circumstances, to abandon j the New Territories to Slavery, or tho half j of them. And, on the other hand, we tbiDk there are not many Whigs who de sire now to re?pen the Territorial and ' Boundary strife lately closed by the pass? age of the California bills, provided no ef? fort is made to carry Slavery into New Mexico and Utah. If the statu quo can be maintained and New-Mexico admitted into the Union as 60on as she shall have fairly proved herself entitled to be, and no at? tempt is mado to force new Slave laws through Congress, we think tho general sentiment among Whigs is to lot what has lately been determined in CoDgress have a fair trial before either approving or warring upon it. In this we may bo mistaken, but, whatever the Whig sentiment may bo, we trust it will be fairly expressed by the State Convention, and that any attempts to en? force a silence on topics demanding speech, whether by threats of secession or other? wise, will be treated with the contempt thoy merit. Let us have ' Free Speech.' The discussions among the Whig journals of tho interior have drawn our attention to this topic. Thus tho Canandaigua Reposi? tory, commenting on the late Soymour Con? vention, says: "Let it be remembered, then, that a series r/ resolutions Indorsing tho Baltimore platforms, re' jolcing over the death of the Wilmot-Proviso, dis carding all the Free-Soil prlnoiplos, and frowning upon sectional agitations, was passed in a Conven? tion, more than two-tilths of which were Barnburn? ers, and by a largo vote of ii.'i to 27. The Free Boilers themselves hastened to kill and bury the ' corner stone.' "There are lessons to bo learned from this ac? tion, which we trust will bo seriously pondered. That which we have all along asserted is again shown to bo true. Tho Freo-Soilers are not the men to stand by their principles. Any actions of Whigs or Whig bodies looking to them for support will be found now, as in all times past, utterly uaclesi?positively pernicious No sectional party, abnndonli g national grounds, can hope for any continued triumph, even in the 'Free Soil' 8tate of New-York. We trost that the Whig Conven? tion, to meet at Syracuse a fortnight honoo, will give hood to theso truths." Whereupon the Rochester Democrat com? ments: "If we understand tho Repository,\\ counsels the Whig Convention to follow tho examples set by the Loco Focos The " lesson"' is or.o wo are willing to ponder, but ?re hope a Whig State Con? vention will not follow The course the Repository desires the Whig parly totako would founder it in New York. Ohio, alai.s&ohusetts, and every other northern Whig State, in less than three months ? Look tit the past li ".847 tho Loco Fooos repudi? ated tho Wilnoot Pro:. io in their State Convention; the Whigs adopted it and carried the State by Thirty Thousand Majority. In 1838, the issue was tho same, and we swept ttio State?electing thirty two Whig members of Congress and a large ma? jority to the Legislature. In 1S19, the Loco Fooos made a new platform, coming somewhat cearer to the Barnburner model, but still not taking decided grout-d against tho extension of Slavery. Tne re? sult was that thoy elected half of the Btato ticket and a majority of the Mombers of the Assembly.? This year they have relapsed to rank Hunkerism. The experience of the Past is tho safest guide for the Whig party in the Future." In oppos'ug the extension of81avery, the Whigs of New-York have never abandonsd other "Na? tional" issues, and it is nonsense to say that the Whigs of " the 'Free Soil' 8tate of New-York'" must square their opinion?, upon all queitions, by taoie held by Wbigo ofj>tber States. We have difi'ered with theni heretofore upon certain ques t'ous, agreed wi'h them upon others, and year after year have triumphed, it was when the ex? citement upon the Silvery queatiou wae unlver a?), that wo gave Qeu Taylor nearly two thirds of the elecioral vote of the Free States. " Let us stand fast by principle and we shall Bshiove con tn ued triumphs.' In our opinion, nothing could be more unfortunate for the Whig party of tbis State, than to have the fact disclosed that a consid? erable number of delegates in tho State Conven? tion, although a minority, insist upon trampling down the banner of Freedom under which we have ao often fought and conquered. We hope we are mistaken in understanding the Repository to advosate this course; and before tfihing tuen a step, we trust the Convention will " give heed ro tho truths" and the (acts to which we have adverted A wise commander will besi tale long before abandoring the path which has often led to vic'ory, to follow one in which he se!> com escaped defeat In the 6ame spirit, the Seneca Falls Courier, commenting on the doings of the Seymour conclave, says: " It is in the power of the Whigs of New-York to meet and defeat this unholy couhtioa We can, by proper efforts, beat the ticket our enemies have nominated. There are thousands of men who voted for Ytn Baren in lSi?, and again for the Loco Foco cuudidate in 1849, who will vote against U is ticket They cannot, like their leaders, be sold !ike cattle in the shambles They will uot, like tuose dishonest leaders, basely abandon their princi? ples ft? tne ,lk0 P' 8??i'8- Let, then, the Whiff Stale Convention to assemble next Thurs? day, reaffirm the principles of tho Whigs of New Yiik, as proclaimed ,he WbiS Convention of 1848 snd '49, lei them place :.n nomination good and | true men and then there will b3 found both a will end a way to secure the triumph, alike of tr.oie principles and of the men thus placed in nomina? tion." Ohio.?The Whigs of the XYUth (Jeffcrsrm and Columbian*) District have nominated Col. Mat ! i hiw KoBthTs, oi Steubenvtlle, for Congress. California?Oregon? Latent, Judge 0. C. Pratt of Oregon, who left California at the latest date, assures us that there 5b no reason to believe the rumor that Sacramento City has been burned. On the contrary, he saw Gen. "Winchester of the Pacific News on the Carolina at the latest moment, and was assured by him that there had been no arrival jrom Sacramento since the Senator?so that the conflagration story must be unfounded. Judge P. himself came down from Sacramento in the Senator, and is confident that there was no fighting after the Senator left?that the Squatter pjrty submitted without farther resistance. We are not so sure of this. The leader of the Squatters (for whose liberation from prison the first forcible demonstration was made) is Mr. James McClatcht, formerly of this City, and well known among our earlier Land Reformers. He has been very decided in his resistance to the land-jobbers' or Sutter title to Sacramento throughout, and if his party are animated by his spirit, the contest will not be lightly given up. We deeply regret that the Squatters should have been tempted to resort to vio? lence. If the Sutter title to Sacramento is valid in law, the whole power of the coun? try must of course be put forth to overbear them ; if it is not good, it can be legilly overthrown. There is no pretence of twenty years' possession adverse to the Squatters to bar their action?nay, they are the party in possession, without lease or covenant of any kind, and their claim is to be disproved or overborne by the speculators. We learn that the Squatters did not make their application for an appeal in due form, ?offering the necessary securities, etc.?or an appeal would have been granted. If so, they acted most unwisely, rashly, crimi? nally, giving to the land speculators an I gamblers, who seem to constitute the chief pillars of ' Law and Order' in Sacramento, a fatal advantage. We believe tha Squat? ters had a fair case, aad might have suc? ceeded had they treated it fairly. They have now probably ruined it. ?Judge Pratt informs us of tho arrival of Gov. John P. Gaines in Oregon on the Gth nit. after a long passage around Cape Horn Gov. Lane had resigned and left the Tcrri. tory (for California) on the 18th of Juno, leaving it without a Governor till Major Gaines arrived. Oregon has vast elements of prosperity, and is improving, but suffers at present from a superabundance of money (none of your Bank rags) and a scarcity of the necessaries of life. The Oregonians were early and successful diggers in the Gold Region, have returned with bagsoflumpa and dust, bat their fertile fields suffered in their absence, and their harvests are yet short. With the finest Wheat and Gra/.iDg country in tho ? orld, they have yet neither Grain nor Cattle to spare. But things will sober down after a while, and whenever sho sots to work Oregon is bound to go ahead. Its cli~ mate is mild and healthy, its soil fertile, aud its timber, water-power, &c. inexhausti? ble. There is no finer country than the valley of tho Willamette, and there are very many valleys and plains in Oregon of like character though perhaps inferior in area. We are happy to hear that the rumors of Gold discoveries in Oregon are likely to prove unfounded. There is a little gold on the Umpqua and Rogue Rivers in Southern Oregon, but no gTeat yield has been obtained from either. We trust the shining scourge is to be substantially confined to California.

ISullard, whs was In the House from 1831 to 1834; while tho Opposi tion, Including the Taylor men proper, aided by ?omo Whigs, have taken up Hon. ESSRT. John son, who was a U. 8. Senator from 131S to 1824, In j the Houso from 1835 to 1839, and in tho Senate I again from 18 13 to 1849. Ho is a Whig as well as Mr. Bullard, but is recommended to his motloy ar? ray of supporters by the fact that his vote as Sen? ator was effectively cast for the Annexation of Texas. At the meeting of his friends in New Orleans, Jacob Darker made a speech, expressing deep penitence for his Taylorism, and asking to he taken back into the ranks of' tho Democracy ' He advised hia brethren not to support Johnson, but to take up soma one who went tha whole hog, sug? gesting the name of Hon. Alceo Labrancho. His advice was spurned, and it was rather hinted that It became him to slop a while in the ranks before attempting the responsible role of a leader. Fi? nally, however, the meeting broke up in some con? fusion, without deciding on any course, but it was fully conceded that Judge Bullard could only be beaten by another Whig. Hich Diggings.?One of tho steerage passen gers by the Philadelphia had with him twenty thousand dollard, which ho had gained in forty eight hours. Ho first took sixteen thousand dollar* from his claim in one day, and then sold it the nox' dsy for four thousand dollars, and startod for th8 B:ates, perfectly satisfied. He is one of the fortu? nate ones. Fremont's Machinery.?A .passenger by the Philadelphia informs us that ho saw several pieces of Fremont's Quartz Crushing machinery on tho Isthmus, abandoned by the natives, who were transporting it across, and thrown into deep gullies, crom whence it can never be recovered. Isthmus Robuert.?The robbers of the 830,000 of gold dust on the Isthmus have not yet been tracked, and probably the gold will never be recov? ered. One of the men concerned in the robbery is thought to be now in New York. Such are the facilities for such robberies on th8 Isthmus, that the great wonder is that they are more frequent. ?3^ The Hutchinsons will sing this evening in Newburgb, to-morrow night at Poughkeepsiei and thence proceed by Catsklll, Hudson, fee. to Albany, where they will sing on Monday evening week, and so on by way of Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, and Chicago, to Mil waukee, Galena and 8t.
