The Leghda- tare of his own State had passed resolutions strongly in favor of the measure, and which sets intended to intlucncc him. lie refused to sacrifice his clear sense of right to an un uand Miitiuient at home, and accordingly qijosfd and voted against the bill. (See Senate Journal, Juno 25, 1841, giving the final riMe. page 114.) _ . -V Tie law went into operation in a very brief time after its passago. All who aro familiar r:th the history of those times well remember tie excitement and general dissatisfaction wtich it produced. Such was the Indignation which it aroused iu tlie public mind, that Con* gross was Hooded with petitions for its repeal; awl Iht tinur Congress that passed it, was com- |idlcJ, by force of pnblic sentiment, at its next tension, to repeal it. Mr. Fillmore was one of those few men who acre unwilling to yield to public sentiment, lie was determined if possible to keep the c natty iu agitation aud perpetuate the iujury. Be no doubt thought it would suit the stock jobbers aud trading classes of Buffalo that he represented. A bill was introduced into the House the W ind session of the 27tii Congress, for ijs repeal. That bill passed, upon tlie final read- i«g. by the decisive vote of 140 to 71—the «tire Tennessee delegation, including Win. B.Campbell, Meredith P. Gentry, and Kobt. L- Caruthcn, voting in the affirmative, except Milton llrowu aud Christopher II. Williams. Millard Fillmore voted NAY! (Sec appendix to Cong. Globe, 2d ses., 27th Congress, p. kb.) Having passed the House, it went to the Senate, where Mr. Buchanan, upon its l*Ui«gc, notwithstanding numerous petitions Iran ins own State against its repeal, voted YEA!

A wretch ex hibiting that degree of hardihood, we believe, would be hurried from the hustings to a tree or to a Penitentiary, with scarcely any cere moiiy. M hv then, we ask in all scrionsncss, will (in' South permit Know nothing papers and speakers to press Millard Fillmore upon her support for the highest oflice ? Shall we make fish of one aud fowl of tho other ? It is true that lie lias not come among us and circulated incendiary publications, butlic did release from prison, when they ought to have there rotted and turned loose two notorious Abolitionists proven guilty of stealing seventy-six slaves. These rascals went immediately to the North and engaged in a dire warfare against our in stitutions, anil are doubtless to-day “shrieking for freedom and Fremont.” The pardon, too, was not effected at the instance of Southern men, but at the urgent repeated solicitation of such Abolitionists us Ilale, Seward, Sumner & Co. It was withheld, also, till after the meet ing of the Whig Convention in 1852, and not granted till Scott was preferred to him for the Presidency, aud he had no favors to ask of the South. Southern slaveholders, remember the insult and outrage, and answer it to your consciences, if you can permit party prejudice or personal friendship fo control the dictates of duty, interest and self-preservation, and in fluence you to support the plotter against southern institutions. We are honest and earnest about this appeal. What wc are talk ing about is history undenied mid undeniable, incontrovertible fact. Believing thnt you arc ready at all times to rebuke those who inter meddle with your affairs, or aid and abet such intermeddling, wc bring the fact of Mr. Fill more’s pardon of Dayton and Sayres before you. Yiew this unpardonable mid totally unjustifiable act of Millard Fillmore calmly and seriously, not as partiznns, but as south ern men, who have billions of dollars of slave property at stake, and we cannot believe that you will prove false to tho instincts of your southern nnturc. If you were so prompt to run oft’ Messrs. Strickland and Upson, because they had in possession certain incendiary books, and would strike down without ceremony any one who had the temerity to defend them, why so much forbearance towards those soliciting your suffrages for Fillmore, who by the par don referred to, struck a more fatal blow at slavery? With tliis euormity presented be fore you, how can you endure the insults heap ed upon the South by an appeal in behalf of Fillmore ? Are you so debased and craven as to prostitute tlie inestimable right of suffrage by aiding in his clectiou ? What! vote for Millard Fillmore, with that damning act star ing you in the face!

From the Congressional Globe, vd. 11, p (550, second sessiou of tho 27th Congress wc copy tho following: •Mr. White of Louisiana, expressed his thanks to the Speaker for awarding to him tho floor, and thereby giving him tlie privilege of making a motion important to civil liberty and the rights of man; which, he said, daily compromittcd, outraged and trampled under foot in tliis city (Washington) by t! manner of making arrests in eases of debt. It was the practice here to hold citizens to bail or, in default thereof, to imprison them, with out any evidence of the debt whatever, other than tiie mere allegation of the plaintiff. As an explanation of the gcncrol practice, ho referred to a particular case—that of a gcntlo- rnau from Lonisiaaa, one of his constituents, who, coming here on important business with Congress, had keen sued in the coifrt here, and required to give bail in the sum of §fl,000, for which ho is now in duress of his liberty—a prisoner in the custody of the Marshal. Here was tho case of a stranger in the city, brought here on important business with Congress thrown into close jail, without any evidence of debt, other than the absured remnants of barbarism contained in the declaration of the plnintifi, which contained nothing but fiction rom beginning to end, and nothing by which the defendant could know what he is sued for There was not even the affidavit of the plain tiff, showing his belief in the justice of the claim. Mr. W. read the writ by which the gentleman was imprisoned, and the declara tion filed by the plaintiff’s lawyer, the absur dities of which occasioned great laughter in the House. To remedy the evil complained of, Mr. W. begged leave to introduce a bill to regulate mesne process in Washington comity in the District of Columbia. This bill provides that hereafter no person shall be imprisoned or held to bail in this county, unless there be an affulavit of the plaintiff or his agent, proving the justice of the debt. The 2nd secsion pro vides that any person now imprisoned without affidavit or sufficient cause of action, shall be »et at liberty, unless the plaintiff or his agent should, in a given time, file such affidavit.” After some preliminary debate, Mr. James called for the yeas and nays on the question of the passage'of the bill; which were ordered, and on calling the roll, resulted in yeas 133. pays35. Millard Fillmore voted NAY! Wc have not time or space for comment. A more odious and oppressive law never dis graced a statute book, and yet Millard Fill more opposed its repeal. Let the poor man think of that. Wc must here end our review of Iillinorc for the present. What wc have stated we have given from the record itself.

The origin of the tire is un known. „ , , ' Mr. Cain, tho lessee of the house, was re siding in the building, and hud retired previous to the alarm of fire. His son, 1 lullip LlU",jr.» escaped from the building by leaping from the second story window, but was badly burned. With the. exception of the son, the whole of Mr. Cain’s family perished in the Humes. The following is a list of those lost: I bfllip Cain, nr., the lessee; Andrew Cam. Martha Cain, Sarah Cain, and Miss Alber*tou. Tho charred remains of Mr. Cain were found this morning, The Condition of Italy—lUnzzinl AND MANIN. From the London Times. The condition of Italy Is indeed pitiable- Distracted by governments which have no sympathy but that of common jealousy, and by nationalities which hate each other more than they hate the common oppressor, she can find in her professed patriots neither dignity of opinion nor unity of action. With a lang uage which to a melodious beauty unites the expression of tender sympathies and high as piration, with a people whose lower orders furnished the bravest soldiers to the armies of Napoleon, and whose higher rauks have re cently furnished martyrs to the cause of liber ty, such as the countrymen of Bussell and Sidney might admire, with a cause which might inflame a generons sympathy in every brave and patriotic breast, still Italy can neither combine her sons in a struggle against her foes, nor in accordance among themselves. 4s the pressure of the foreign yoke becomes more galling, as the tyranny of domestic mis government becomes more odiouiJ and humili ating, so increase the differences and distrac tions between tho men wliosecourage is invok ed to break, or whose wisdom is expected to solve, her ignoble subjection. There are divisions between her patriots as there arc divisions between her neighboring States aud cognate principalities. Freedom is desired, sighed for. and may lie fought for; but she is secondary to the ambition, the jeal ousies, and hatred of those who aspire to win her. And well do they who govern Italy know this fatal weakness; richly ilo they profit by it; largely and lavishly will they foment it. They will encourage and enhance it as the best ally while the conflict lasts, and as tho strongest reserve when the conflict is won.— So long as it endures, the Austrian will be all powerful iu Bologna, sacerdotal mi6govern- ineut will drain the finances nnd plunder or exile the citizens of Borne, Naples will tolerate an oppression more iniquitous than any of the fifteen or sixteenth centuries, and Tuscany will compensate for her exemption from flagrant violence by her exposure to the petty annoy ances of autocracy. To the foreign power who invades, aud to the domestic despot who insults and pillages Italy, the jealousies of her citizens and recriminations of her patriots are a permanent and relinblo resource, and from none of them has either received so much aid as from M. Mazzini and his partisans. The name of Mazzini will be long remem bered, if not cherished, iu Italy. He is en titled to that exceptional fame which survives the presence and the achievements of him on whom it is conferred. Tile Italian revolution of 1848 has, perhaps, exacted a more prolix retribution than any other of modern days, but -M. Mazzini has not been content with its victims, and at Milan and eleswhere has ex cited fresh revolts, to be avenged by fresh ex ecutions. Even the other day an emeute at Massa, of the true Mazziuiau type, contribut ed another batch of prisoners to tlie Austrian dungeons. For the illegal seizures which have broken up the union of families,—for the un just deaths which have destroyed their peace —for the fearful espionage which has tracked the steps of good and guiltless men to a cruel icntcucc ©£ «* iropriovnmtut—-tor tile wicked arts and wicked violence of incensed ml rc established despotism, the Italians will have to thank men like Mazzini, who dictated policy at once reckless, impracticable, irritat iug, and imbecile. And now, again, when a faint light of promise for the future seems to streak the sombre sky of Italian politics—when wise men are planning moderate counsels, a brave men biding a time of action, the meddling theorist aguin interferes to sow disunion among the States and sons of Italy. Postponing tho lib oration of Italy to his own crotchets, the fact itself to Ins own notion of the mode iu which it should be accomplished, the cause itself to certain incidents which ho must associate with it as indispensable, lie assails Signor Maniu for having pointed out a mode of achieving this great object more in harmony with the exist ing state of things and the temper of the Ital ian people than a crude and ill-prepared ris ing, without a common leader aud a common plan. The Italians who have tested the two men in action can hardly hesitate with which to side,—the man who having broken the con federacy of the last movement by hotheaded sectarianism, left bis admirers to the dungeons and chains of the victorious foreigner; or the man who, having shared in the devoted labors which resuscitated the past glories of Venice, now waives a cherished theory in order to base the emancipation of Italy on the union of her sons. To .Mazzini the past has spoken in vain; to Minin it is eloquent of instruction. The one would summon to tlie standard of revolt a motley rabble of unsympathetic rebels, men inflamed as much with a hatred of all subord ination, all property, and all religion, as of the foreign soldier who domineers and the native priest who plunders in the fair plains of his country—men who, once heated by conquest, would soil their hands in brutal rapine, or, once checked by defeat, would abandon their cause in ignominious tremor. The other— hating anarchy and disorder no less than he hates assassination—would enlist under sonic known and powerful standard tho more noble and generous spirits of Italy, would summon to the support of a cherished cause the tradi tions of an ancient renown and the prestige of a name associated with valor, glory and victo ry. The one would launch his troublous elc merits at once into the sanguinary stream of war without provision for tlie failure which is almost certain, or retreat for the victims thus foredoomed. The other, warned by the past, and knowing the pregnant influences of the future, would harbor bis resources until the time of their development was ripe—would bring tlie teachings of long experience to bear upon the task of smoothing down the asperity of ancient rivalries and enmities, of subordin ating hot-tempered enthusiasm to a definite plan of uniform action, of merging provincial pride aud provincial ambition in the great and noble task of making nil Italy free. To achieve this work he would not alarm tho susceptibili ties of moderate men, nor awaken the suspicion of Absolutists, nor excite the cupidity or via dictiveness of the sordid and the cruel; but would seek to extend to a wider circle and ex hibit ou a wider field that capacity for self- government, that power of reconciling the essential properties of Freedom with tlie de corous embellishments of monarchy, and of combining devotion to the family of a Sovcr- ign with an enlarged love of country, which have earned for the small kingdom of Piedmont the sympathy and admiration of States more wealthy and more powerful. It may bo true, as Mazzini writes to Mauin _ our yesterday’s impression, that tho Pied montese dislikes the Lombard, aud the Lom bard hates the Piedmontese, and that both hate or despise the Neapolitan aud the Homan. But what then? Is the disunion which unfort unately exists, and has always existed, to the practical dismemberment of Italy, more likely to be healed by the precipitate insurrection of a mob of wild Democrats or turbulent Hociul- .„ts, mixed with a tolerable sprinkling of un scrupulous assassins, than by the consolidation of a great Italian party, bent upon restoring the liberties of their nation, but bent also on restoring them consistently with order and good government ? Mazzini is angry at the presence of the monarchical element. He h;is already led a revolt which soon got rid of its obnoxious presence, and he will perhaps gratify the world with his own account of the advan tages which flowed from this elimination. Whatever his own theory may be of his fail ure, we suspect the world will agree with those more temperate but not less devoted friends of Italy who found all their designs for her re stitution and regeneration on the success of the experiment which Sardinia is now happily making that Italians can be coustitutionaly governed without rushing into anarchy or sink ing into servility; and that the slow andgradual dissemination of constitutional ideas through out the Peninsula is the surest guarantee of its eventual emancipation from the gyves which now ignobly fetter its thought and action. It may not be reserved for the King of Sardinia to bead a movement in the cause of liberation Ho may not desire it. His people may be averse to it, or his neighbors. But of this we are convinced—that, be the future leader of Italian liberation who he may, the dignity and the independence of Piedmont have given a tone to Italian sentiment and set an example to Italian patriots of which the full influence will be felt only when Italy is united and free Later from Texas. The steamship Mexico, Capt. Lawless from Indianola and Galveston, arrived here yester day morning. By the arrival of the Mexico we havo Galveston dates to the 30th, and from Indianola to the 20th ult. The Mexico brought over eight emigrants for Nicaragua as passengers. The Galveston News, of the 30tli, has the following in an article about their city : The drought, of which so much has been said nnd written, still continues, until rain water, even for drinking purposes, is becom ing a rarity. The gardens are entirely de stroyed, and the trees present a fall-like ap pearance. The memory of that celebrated personage the “oldest inhabitant,” has been appealed to and faiie-i to remember a season so remarkable for its extreme dryness. The same paper says : From every quarter our exchanges come teeming with fearful accounts .of the short crops, especially of corn, our great article of consumption. When wc take Into considera tion that the last year was far from being a productive one, aud that this follows consecu tively, producing but a small proportion of the demand we confess that we do not see any thing promising or cheering in the future to the enlarging wants of our increasing and needy population. It is not feared that so great a want aud scarcity will prevail as to cause riots and bloodshed, as in some parts of Europe, and yet wc cannot avoid recommend ing great economy and care in the use of this, our main product for food, especially through the South, where the drouth so universally and extensively prevails. Wc have been informed by gentlemen trav eling from the interior of our State, that the prairies present the appearance of deserts, all the grass having died aud become white,.crisp and dead for the want of rain. We canuot urge our friends to cxorcise:too much caution and discretion in preserving and usiDg the grain now on band, for we cannot jnuMuv.. ou. aiotress nnu Win un- ore us, unless some favorable change take place in our behalf. The Houston correspondent of the same pa per gives the following item: Our city coutinucs healthy. We entertain the most sanguine hopes of immunity this fall from yellow fever. Business is improving.— New cotton commands readily from 104 to 11 cents per pound. The crop is being rapidly gathered. The quality of tliis year’s cotton is very superior. The Galveston Civilian, of the 20th, says: The legislature has adopted an act supple mental to the act for the improvement of the rivers of Texas. This last appropriates $50, 000 to the gulf and its waters; and the same amount to the Colorado, Trinity, Brazos, aud Sabine each, and $20,000 to other streams each. If the amount asked exceed the amount in the treasury, an equitable adjustment is to bo made by the executive and beads of depart ments. FURNITURE !

The Monitcur Grcc of tho 31st July con tains full details of the destruction of the com bined remnants of four robber bands, beaded by Davclio, Zaphiris. Bcloulias, and Phcun- toukis. The brigands, closely pursued from mountain to mountain, turned to bay at last and fortified themselves on a small hill, said to bo the very spot where CEdipus slew Laius. Surrounded by troops and by armed civilians, they defended themselves with great courage- Night approaching, a lieutennant, named Meegas, who lmd been under a suspicion of conniving at their misdeeds, and who, to dissi pate this suspicion, had devoted himself to their pursuit, and had been the first to get up on their track, saw the necessity of putting an end to the conquest, lest the darkness should favor the robbers’ escape. Sword in hand, he sprang into tlie entrenchment occupied by Beloulios, but was wounded in the act, and quickly despatched. His example, however, stimulated the others, who swarmed over the brigands’ defences, and put. the whole 23 to the sword, with the exception of- four who were wounded and mado prisoners. There was a great joy at Athena in consequence of the ex termination of these formidable banditti, and some of the papers speak of tlie affair with al most as mucli enthusiasm as if a battle had been fought and won. Tho Queen sent 2000 drachma* to tlie widow of Meegas, to whom anti to her children it is proposed to grant a pension. Or Dr. Mayo relates that an idiot iu the hospital of Salzburg, appearing to be singu larly insusceptible of fear, an experiment of an appalling character and appalling conse quences was mado upon him as a means of putting his susceptibility to the tost. It was proposed to produce in him the impression that he saw a dead man come to life. A person, accordingly, had himself laid out as a corpse and enveloped iu a shroud ; and the idiot was ordered to watch over the dead body. The idiot, perceiving some motion in the corpse, desired it to lie still; but the pretended corpse raisingitself in spite of this admonition,the idiot seized a hatchet, which unluckily was within his reach, and cut off first one of his feet of the unfortunate counterfeit, and then unmoved by his cries, cut oft’his head, lie then calmly re sumed his station by the real corpse.” Commerce of New York. The imports of foreign goods in New York for tlie month ot August were $7,413,2(i(i greater than for August, 1855, and $835,532 in excess of the very large total for August, 1854. During the month, upwards of four millions were thrown into warehouses, while in August, last year, nearly all the receipts were thrown directly upon the market. The imports of free goods show no material change. The total shipments from New York to foreign ports for the mouth of August, exclusive of jiecie, are $1,257,884 in excess of the corres ponding total for last year, and $858,257 greater thaii for August, 1854.
