The Intelligencer collects and presents tha
opinions of Whig, Hard Shall, and Abolition
journals?the Albanj Argns, 5. T. Commer
cial Advertiser and tha Evening Post?upon
tha resolutions of tha Sofu in oonvaution?pn tha
Nebraska question, and seems exceedingly
tickled over the diverse opinion* of those papers^
but moat especially delighted with tha sweet
harmony of the aeoord of their hatred of the
preaent Administration. Our neighbor alto

In thiee months.
Tha Union is muoh gratified with the reso
lutions of the Mew Tork Soft State Conven
tion, and holds that its position on the Ne
braska bill shows that the masses on both
wings of "the party*' there, are standing prac
tically together upon the principle involved
in the Nebraska bill. It will be recollected
that it was endorsed by the Hard Convention,
meeting at Utica, not long sinoe, and now,
practically, by the Soft Convention. The
organ quotes the Intelligencer as follows:
" (li> a at cbt asd Lima Wooa "?The ve
teran Washington correspondent of the Journal
of Commerce gives ns his experience of south
era sentiment on the Nebraska bill. It be
oomes more clear every day that those south
ern politicians who bespoke for the South bo
dreadful an agitation about the Nebraska bill,
and such an overwhelming indignation for thoee
southern journals which thought fit to oppose
the Nebraska appeal, were misled by their
own passions, or their misoonceptioD of south
ern intelligence and manliness.
And say*?
" i he game of the Intelligencer on the Ne
biaska bill shows how liule respect it has for
the '? intelligence and manliness'' of the Amer
cac people. It is a game every way unworthy.
If one man says that slavery is sure to go into
Kansas, the Intelligencer adopts that opinion
to show that they were great knaves who said
slavery woul<Cnot go into Kansas. IfasoutL
ern man ssjs that si.very will not go to Kan
sas, this is held up as a jpift that the South
arc cheated; and if, on the otnCJ hand, a
northern man says that it will go, then
North are cheated. Any expression of opiu
lon on this subject will suit the Intelligencer
if it can show to the North or to the South some
cause f it bitterness of feeling on the slavery
question And yet the Intslligencer preaches
agaiset sectional parties."

1 WASHINGTON NXWS AND GOSSIP
Free Speech ?We bjok occasion, a few day*
ago, promptly to point oat the inconsistency
between the professions of the new party at
the North, and their practice. Sabeeqnent re
flection. and the farther light whieh the news
papers have thrown on the Chieago affair,
have not served to change oar opinion with
reference to the endtmity of the outrage in
volved in it against the fundamental principle
of oar Government.
60 necessary to the preservation of the lib
erties of this country did oar revolutionary
fathers regard the right of " free speech," on
public affairs especially, that in the formation
of the Constitution they carefully threw all
poesible guards around it; providing in the
first article thereof that " Congress shall make
no law respecting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or
abridging the liberty of speech or of the
press." The right to speak openly on public
affairs, whieh these heretofore apparent furious
devotees of " free speech" violently abrogated
in Chicago, thus essayed in the Constitution
to be oarefully guarded, involves the right to
hear also. Bo great is the veneration of our
laws for it, as to protect, in its full and free
exercise, every rascally foreign McSwish who
chooses, under the pretence o^< preaching,"
to utter in our public streets insults, libels,
blackguardism, Ac., without stint against those
to whom our Constitution and laws, and the
prinoiplee of our Government, guarantee
equal rights with us. All suoh violent infringe
ments of American popular rights, as well as
the doctrines in the cause of which they are
essayed, are of foreign origin; the parties in
this oountry, resorting to the former and ad wo- <
eating the latter, looking to " Exeter Hall" for
approval, rather than bowing to public opinion
in the United States. Political aboltionism
in this country, it will be remembered, owes
its origin to the labors of the notorious Eng
lish charletan. George Thompson, who laid
the foundation for it in the course of his
neveT to-be forgotten tour throughout the
American non-slaveholdlng estates, wherein
he was the first to preach that it was just
and proper for one portion of the American
people to wage a crusade against the other.
Indeed, all the isms which now so extensive
ly pervade the North, are of like origin, hav
ing been preached on the other side of the
Atlantic?some of them for nearly half a cen
tury?before being imported into the United
States. Those of sufficient reading to know
the details of the history of the women's
rights, and Fourlerite movements, Ac , will
at onoe realize the truth of what we here
write. The leaders of this party of free -speech
professions (but not praotioe) have, unfortu
nately for the peace of the country, obtained
virtual control of the lower order of a portion
of the Amerioan clergy ; using them to influ
ence the ignorant fanatical, and bigoted
They are the principal advocates of the Maiue
law, which is destined to do more harm to the
holy cause of temperanoe, that was so hap
pily flourishing beyond measure before being |
dragged into the arena of politics, than the
influence which all the anti-temperance men
in the land exerted against it before it wa*
taken up by politisianB as a hobby on which
to ride temporarily into place. This sainei
law, by the if more despotic in its ten
dency afid character than *njr existing ukase
of the Emperor of Russia, whose government
we are all accustomed to regard M the vcy j
personification of despotism itself. The rece"*
Massachusetts "Republican" convention, in
the course of their pioceedings, capitally il
lustrated the true value of the devotion of
this party to civil liberty. Thus, they gloried
over the forcible abrogation of the right ol
free speech in Chicago?one of the great bul
warks of Amerioan freedom, fbr which our
fathers shed their blood in the war of the Rev
olution?proclaimed that they were ready and
anxious, by force of arms, if necessary, to se
eure for the ignorant and otherwise unquali
fied negro slaves of the Sooth, full civil and
political equality with the whites of the land ;
and in the same breath they pledged them
selves to war hereafter on the rights of civil
and political equality guaranteed by the Con
stitution to those among us who prefer to wor
ship God aooording to the Catholic faith. They
actually did this thing: They proclaimed that
their future efforts should be directed to the
two ends, of procuring for the slaves of'the
Sooth the right to vote, and depriviM-their
Catholic fellow-eitiiens of that righffThe

AniBr.mil
We are thankful, indeed, as ever;
must be whoee breast still entertains a singi*
spark of the sentiment of devotion to civil
liberty and true equality wbioh nerved our
fathers to the achievement of their liberties,
that that dastardly act was the work of for
eigners?not Americans. The " associations"
perpetrating it were Irish,German and English
anti-Catholics, who left New York nominally
for an excursion, but nearly all carrying con
oealed weapons, whieh were used to kill and
wound unarmed people, and to keep off the
crowd while they gutted a church that was
defended by one old woman, armed with that
weapon of the sex, a broom stick. The testi
mony taken over the body of the man mar*
dered in this shameful riot in a heretofore
peaceful Amerioan city, shows that it is very
questionable whether a single stone was thrown
at the prooession before or after the attack
was made on the ohureh. Two persons only
?wear (one of them being an assailant of tbe
church) that one stone was so thrown; all the
root swearing that from first to last they saw
no act of assault committed against those in
the procession. However, whether a single
stone was or was net thrown at them, it forms
no exoase for their act of arming themselves
with concealed weapons, killing one man and
wounding several others, and destroying un
edifice dedicated, in this land of constitution
ally guaranteed religious freedom and equal
rights, to the worship of the ever living God.
We repeat?we rejoice that these anti-free
?peeoh-party crimes against tbe peace of
society here, were the work, not of Americans,
but of foreigners; and we only regret that
the previous violent destruction of tbe two
churches demolished this season in New Eng
land, is not se elearly traceable to the same
eless of secret foreign-born enemies of civil
and rtffigious liberty.
A Cabinet Meeting ?The President having
veaehed Washington on Saturday night last,
this morning at W o'clock, we bear, the Cabi
net were fat session. As the important des
patches fftrm the American Commissioner at
the Sandwioh islands, covering the treaty re
cently entered la to between that genUoman on
the part of the Uplted States and the Govern
ment ot tflands are ?aid, on tho Arcane,
t> have reached the State Se^rtment in J"3
morning's Northern mail, they were proba
bly duly discussed to-day, together with the
Dominican and Greytown questions. So say
tbe quid nunos around the oity, we know not,
however, on what particular authority. Se
far as the Sandwioh islands affair isooneerned,
we have every reason to believe that the new
convention embraces terms so highly favorable
to the interests of our important Pacific and
Eastern commerce, as that it will be hailed
acclamation by the whole country, when
??er it may be deemed wise and prudent to
prsaulgate it.
The General Land Office?In the coarse of
? month this Sareaa is to be moved down to
the Patent Offioe building, wherein it is to oc
cupy the ground floor of the west wing now in
coarse of construction By that time the
lower portion of that an finished wing will be
in a condition to receive the paraphernalia of
this office. One half the whole lower floor of
the wing is to be thrown into a single great
room or hall, wherein fifty or sixty clerks are
to be aocommodated. This is after the.Eng
lish fashion. It will be.reoollected that all'
the army of clerks of the Bank of England oc
cupy a single apartment, their desks all
ranging so as to be visible to the chief authori
ty of the institution, whose desk may also be
located in the same chamber. The plan wag
first introduced into publie offices here by the
Hon Elisba Whittlesey, when holding the po
sition of Sixth Auditor of the Treasury. If we
are not mistaken, it was through that gentle
man's recommendations that the edifioe for
the accommodation of the Post Office Depart
ment was constructed with a great hall in the
third story, wherein all the many book-keep,
en of the office of the Post Offioe (6th) Auditor
are employed. The plan having worked capi
tally there, we take it to be the reason it has
been adopted in arranging the new permanent
quarters for the General Land Offioe.
Settlement of Long Disputed Land Titles.
In the matter of the claims in the Vincennes
Land District, Indiana, founded on ancient
grants, or possession nnder the French and
British Governments, on olaitns to donations
as heads of families under the resolves of
Congress in 1788 and 1798, and as militia men
enrolled at Vinoences in 1790, we learn that a
large number of these ancient claims were re
ported upon by United States Commissioners
in the years 1806 and 1812, and confirmed by
Congress to the parties then claiming. Since
that time, the lands have gone into the pos
session of individuals claiming under the orig
inal holders, and the titles of present owners,
in many oases, are supposed to rest merely
upon continued possession for twenty years
and more. At the last session, Congress passed
an act to adjust and confirm the titles of
present owners, and instructions are about to
issue from the General Land Office to give
proper effect to the aot aforesaid.
Navy Offiers Ordered ?In addition to the
officers named in the Star, a few days since,
as having been ordered to join the United
States ship-of-war Independence, at New York,
destined to be the flag ship of the Pacific
squadron, we learn that the following others
have since duly reported for duty on board
that vessel, viz: Lieut. Gansevoort, first lieu
tenant of Bhip, and Lieuts. H. N. Harrison and
Thos. B. Huger. .

beautiful and extensive edifioe by the time
Congress again come together. The various

coping. This will be a great improvement,
indeed, to the general appearance of that im
posiDg structure.

Philadelphia, Sept. 10,1854.
A gentleman named William Kirrigan, for
several years a keeper of a grocery store at the
oorner of Second and Christian streets, has
preferred a complaint against Win. Magill,
the ostensible proprietor of the Pennsylvanian
newspaper, for having uttered, in the columns
of that journal on the 4th day of September,
instant, a libel, concerning the said Kirrigan.
Mr. Magill was arrested on Wednesday, and
held to bail in $500, by Alderman Davis, to
appear, for a hearing, yesterday afternoon, at
4 o'clock.
The article complained of appeared in the
'? local columns" of the Pennsylvanian, and,
according to a statement of the publisher, was
not given out by the regular reporter, but by
some unknown means was smuggled into the
paper. It alleged that Mr. Kirrigan had for
some years been living in adultery with a
woman of bad repute?had treated his wife
with wanton barbarity?and, besides corpo
really chastising her, and given her a loath
some disease, Ac. In faot, most every firing.

against Mr. K.? who complains, from the fact
that the statements published were not ad
duced in open oourt, but were given from the
writer's own preconceived idea of things, and
perhaps in an interested way.
A hearing was had before Alderman Davis,
this morning, when E. C. Brewster, Esq., ap
peered for the oomplainant and James Van
Dyke, E*q., for the deferdant. At the con
clusion Of the bearing the Alderman said that
he did not doubt the innocence of Mr. Magill

was imperative, and the publisher must be held

I have already announced the departure of
Miaa Dix from thia pert for Europe. A very
touching incident in oonneotion with her em
barkation is thus related by a correspondent
of the Express. It will no doubt be read with
deep interest by thousands of Miss Dix's
friends and admirers throughout the Union:
I happened to be in the office of the owner
of the American Steam Paokets, when Miss
Dix called to pay her passage. The elerk
handed her a receipt, but declined the money
saying that Mr. Collins had direoted him to
request her acceptance of the passage. With
much emotion Miss Dix acknowledged her ob
ligations to Mr. Collins, adding that the sum
returned to her, wonld enable her to carry
into effect a plan she had much at heart. This
I found afterwards, was to have her life in
sured for four thousand dollars, and to secure
this sum under the Trusteeship of the Govern
or of the State, to the Insane Asylum, at Tren
ton, N J. This she accomplished immediate
ly on leaving the office of Mr. Collins, the
price of her passage returned by him, paying
the first year's premium on the insurance
On board the ship, Miss Dix learned that
she hadyet more for which to thank Mr. Col
lins fie had ordered that no one else should
be put in her state room, thus presenting.her,
in fact, with two passages. He was on board
when she arrived and she approached to ten
der her thanks, but taking her hands in his,
with an emotion that did him honor, he said
*' The nation, Madam, owes you a debt of grat
itude which it can never pay. and of whick, I,
as an individual, am only too happy to be thus
privileged to mark my sense of." Miss Dix
could reply only with tears for, as was evident
to all who saw her, her nervous system is com
pletely prostrated. Could we expect it to be
otherwise in view of her immense labors and
her grievous disappointments?

?*By the lalt weekly report of the number
of deaths whioh oeourred in the oity from yel
low fever, up to 7 o'clock on Saturday evening,
it Will be aeen that the disease is already on
the deorease. Although we moat confess that
it haa been rather virulent daring the latter
portion of the past month ; still we think that
our citizens have good oause for congratula
ting themselves on esoaping so well. Few of
our resident population have been attacked by
it, and we have been informed that in almost
every case, where proper remedies have been
applied in time, the disease was very easily
checked."

of foreigners, and residents of other cities who
| certainly seem to have manifesto! a spirit
which protectant christians will hardly feel
willing to endorse."
Ay JLhbwer Rkqcbstbd.?The question hat
