Mr. Hell’s Speech.
We commence to-day the publication of
Mr. Bell's speech on tho Kansss-Nebraska
bill, and ask for it tho attentive perusal of
our readers. The first part of the speech,
which does not relato to the slavery issue,
we have omitted. It is principally devoted
to a history and explanation of Indian trea-
ties, which, in the opinion of Mr. Boll,
bound Congress not to organize tho country
embraced into Territories while those Iren*
lies existed. He showed that some of tho
Indians in Kansas had treaty stipulations
with the Federal Government which provi
ded in so many words that the lands coded
should never, without their consent, "ho
included within tho territorial limits or

in behalf of the South, showing that the
"Indian Territory,” as previously set apart
by act of Congress, embraced an equal area
north and south ol latitude 8G°80 ; that tho
bill under consideration took the half north
of this lino end proposed to make u SStntc
of it, whilo the southern part, which was
adapted to slave labor, w’ts still to remain
as Indian territory. Ho said that the orig
inal taking of this territory partly from the
country north of the Missouri Compromise
lino and partly from tho south of it, was
intended as a compact between tho sections
as sacred as the Missouri Compromise, hut
that tho bill violated it.
In this omitted part of his speech, too
Mr. Bell announced tlint at tho previous
■esviou ho had voted agninst the hill
proposing to organize tho same region of
country into Territories, which lull did not
contain any clause repealing the Missouri
Compromise; and in tho portion published j hiadutiis, you
to-day, lie declared that notwithstanding the
his regard for the Missouri Compromise us
a compact between tho sections, he would
still vote (of tho bill it ho believed that the
South could secure by it what its Southern
supporters promised themselves.

The New York Official Stealing.
Our last accounts from New York left tho
city in a state of excitement on account of
tho defalcation of the Postmaster, Isaac Y.
Fowler, for a large amount. No oilicial
expose of the offuir had been made, and
many speculations and inferences were rife.
It was known, however, that tho Govtrn-
merit hud pul the office under charge of
officials sent from Washington, that Fowler
could not be found, and that Marshal Kvn-
ders was in search of him with on execution
for tho sum of $l&. r >,054.
Fowler is tho Grand Sichera of Tam
many Hall, tho head-quarters of tho Holt
or Freesoil Democracy of New York. Ho I
was appointed Postmaster in 1.S5B by Pres
ident Pierce, with u view of cementing tho I
union between the Freesoil and National
wings of the New York Democracy, and
has been retained in office by President
Buchanan (notwithstanding his professed
policy of "rotation”) for tlm same laudable
purpose. Il is said by the New York pipers
that "the whole of the deficit occurred
under the Administration of President
Pierce, but for various reasons, mostly if a
political nature, it bus not been made
public, although it wus will known by tlto
Administration at Wushingtou.” It is also
alleged that the present exposure is due to
"political considerations arising from the
action of tho Charleston Convention.”
Fowler was a Freesoil delegate from New
York to the Charleston Convention, and in
that body supported Douglas and his plat
form. Therefore, Wu suppose, his long
concealed ruscality has Ituen exposed. The
Charleston Convention may be productive
of good results yet. It appears that u
change of Administration from one Demo
crat to another does not bring to public
view Irauds on Ihu Government known to
exist, ami that only u split among them
selves involving "political considerations”
calling for the exposure, or a transfer of
the Administration to a party opposing the
Democracy, -ran accomplish tho Augean
work. We liavo no doubt that this prema
ture exposure will operate on a strong argu
ment in favor of Democratic “hurrnony”
and "unity" at llaltimure. As Ben Frank
lin is reported to huvo said, when one
revolutionary Whig was urging upon his
compatriots the necessity of “hanging
together” in support of tho Declaration of
Independence, they "must all hang together,
or they will hang separately."
Fowler's bond is only 4*75,000—notwilh* day. — Mont}
standing the large defalcation »o long
known—and if bis sureties pay that amount,
there will probably be still a largo deficiency.
Tha truth is, we suspect, that the money
was used for the benefit of his party, not
appropriated to his own private use, and
that he ir made the scape-goat for Ihe
double purpose of screening those higher
in authority and punishing him for his
support of Douglas. At all events, his
defalcation is not n greater rascality than
his appointment to and long retention in j ^ * ,IH * M a cur
