Sohuyler Colfax, in his rocent admirable speech in the House of Representatives, from •which we have already given some extracts, speaks as follows of the enactments of the Kansas Territorial legislature: oight} felt (iuD Gowar iifocti armor proteC iucou' or th aeemeh to - —or, in oth& that occurred, and uoaD6 — "That the legislative power of the Territory shall extend to all rightful subjects of legislation consistent with the Constitution of the United State*; but no law shu.ll be passed interfering with the primary disposal of the soil," But if you will turn to page 600 you will gee how coolly this bogtM Legislature ignores both tho Nebraska bill and the preemption law ; for it declares as if.tbey ownfld the soil that in actions of trespass (j'ectqtent, &o„ settlers shall be protected In their preemptions, not of one hnndrod aud sixty aoroi but of three hundred end twenty acres : "that such claim way bo located iu two different parcels to suit the of the holder," " without bciug compelled to prove an actual incloeure {" and the still more flagrant repudiation of the Cons'«s*wnal preemption law, that " occupandy by tenant shall be considereCl equally valid as personal residence," under which the wholo Territory may be preempted by Missouriaus." Aud this law, with the others, is to be enforced by the President! Seventh.—Section thirty of the Nebraska bill enacts that the official oath to betaken by tho Governor aud Secretary, the Judges, "and all other civil officers in siad Territory," shall be " to support tho Constitution of the United States, anil faithfully to discharge the duties of their respective offices." No more—no less. But the Ifigjelalures of Kansas, with tho same disregard of the Congressional law that marked their other acts, enacted another kind of official oath, on page 438 of their code as follows: Skc. 1. All officer* elected or appointed under an existing or subsequently, enacted laws of this Territory, shall take aud subscribe the following oath of officer "i,——, do soleujnly sweur upon the holy Kvaa oilints of almighty God, that I will support and sustain the provisions of an act entitled " An act to organize the Territories of Nebraska and Kan sac," aud the provisions of the law or the United State# commonly known is the " Fugitive Slave Law," and faithfully aud impartially aud to the l.est of ray ability demean myself iu the discharge of my duties in tlie office of ; so help ine God. Vou cannot fail tCJ notice that, in thin new oath, framed by tiuD bogus Legislature, the Fugitive Slave" Law is elevated to a " higher law" than the Constitution; for the officer i# to " 6up|,orl" fth« latter, hut is required to swear that will "support M-stain" the other. VIOLATION Ot TUB KAXB4S UlLt BV KANSAS LAWS. I shall now proceed to show you no leea than seven palpable violations of the organic law, (the Nebraska bill,) incorporated into this Code by the bogus Legislature which enacted it. The President, J udge Douglas and Mr. Buchanan, who are all pledged "to enforce these territorial laws," cannot have failed to notice that tho eonaueror* of Kansas enacted their Code, regardless of whether its provisions ooincided with the organic law or not; but, nevertheless, where they differ, tho law of the United States is to bo forgotten, and the l'ro-81avery behests of tho Kansas invaders are to bo carried out ot the point of the bayonet, if necessary. First—Section twenty-two of tho Nebraska bill enacts that the House of Representatives in Kansas shall consist of twenty-six members, "whose term of service shall continue one year." That does not mean eighteen, nineteen or twenty months, but "one your," and one year only. Tho Legislature ot Kaunas was elected on tho 30th day of March 1 855, a day which has bocoine famous from tho discussions in this House and elsewhere in regard to it; and sir, if you will turn to page 280 of this Kansas coilo, you will see tluit there is not to be an eloction for members of the lower House of tho Legislature until the fir»t Monday in October, in tho year 1.860— over eighteen months after the first Legishir turo was elected, if you turn, then, to page 403, you will find that no regular session of that Legislature is to be held until Junuary, 1837 ; so that the term of that llouso of Representatives, in defiance of the organic law, is prolonged to twcntyHwo months instead of twelve months. Sir, their term has expired now. Thore is no Legislature in tho Territory of Kansas this day ; and therefore, in tho language of the Declaration of Independence "tho legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the pauplo at large for thoir exercise." For exercising them, Iww,#vor, in uo conflict with the Territorial Government, hut carefully avoiding it, and .abstaining from putting any legislation in force, but only organizing us a State to apply for admission here as "'a redress for thou- griovuut«»"~i-for doing this, the court of  Lecomple arraigns them for treason, and staplers iis.uidicimvnts all over the Tel limry, C.

Besides these eevun pit 1 j»V,lo, flagrant., and unconcealed violations of til1 organic law oxganizing the Territory, I point you uow to five equally direct and open violation of the Constitution of the United States ; for that instrument has btwn trampled upon an Recklessly on the laws of (,'ongiee*. Fii tl, tho very first amendment to the Constitution of the "Uuited Slates prohibits the passage of any law " abridging the freedom of speech ; and it is a significant fnct, as ean be learned from Ilickoy'H Constitution, page 33, that tnis, with a number pf i tlier amendments, to the Constitution which follew it, was submitted by Congress to the various States iu 1789, immediately after the adoption ut'U.e Cujistiiutiouitwilf, with the following preamble:— " The conventions ofa number of States having, at the timo of their adopting the Constitution expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its jjo*ver, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be addeif." Therefore the amendments that follow were proposed. Thus, it is conclusively proven that the wneodment, prohibiting any abridgtuant of [lie freedom of speech, was adopted to prevent " an abuse of power," which our forefathers eared might be attempted by somo degenerite deceudputs at sojue later period of our history. But, though tlvey tlnjs sought to pronerve and protect free speech, by coustitutionil provision, tjieir prophetic fears have been realised by the enactors of tho Kansas Code, [ts ono hundred and fifty-first chapter, on pa;os 004 and 605, is entitled " An act to puush offences against slave property;" and hero is no decree of Austrian de?jDot or ltuslian Czar whioh is not merciful, in compariion with its provisions. Here, sir, in the cry teeth of tho is wctiou 12 if that chapter: " Ifatay free person bv speaking or by writng assert or maintain that persons have not he right to hold slaves in this Territory, or hall introduce into tliis Territory, print, pubish, write, circulate, or cause to be introduced nto this Territory, written, priutod, published ir circulated in this Territory, any book, paler magazine, pamphlet, or circular, contamng any denial of the right of persons to hold laves in this Territory, such parsons shall be leeinod guilty of felony, and punished by imn-isonnient at hard labor for a torm of not ess than two years." How many more than two years he shall -be iiinishod is loft to the tender mercy of Judge jccomnte and tho Jury which "Sheriff Jones" viit select for their trial. Tho Pi-osident of he United States has sworn to support tho Constitution ; but this, with the other " laws if Kansas," are to be onforced by him, des(ito that Constitution, with tho army of tho Jnited States; and Mr. Buchanan is pledged Dv Judge Douglas to " the firm and-undivided ikecution of those laws." But, Sir, in a few ,hort months the people, the freo people of | he United States, will inaugurate an Adrninstration that will do justice to the oppressed lettlors of Kansas, that will restore to them heir betrayed rights, will vindicate the Conititution, and wiU place in the offices of trust if that ill-fated Territory, men who will overdrew the "usurpation," give their official inluence to Freedom and tjio right, rather than 0 Slavery and the wrong, and protect rather han oppress tho citizens whom they are ■ailed.uponto govern jmd to judgq. hxsdom or Ptuatj. Second—The same constitutional .amenduent prohibits the passage of any law 1 abridging the freedom of the press; and »- in P ' violation of it, is the 11th " i Kaunas Code, Being provided with a full and rOojpfete set uf llistri.fmjllt*. an/I b.iving ha I ample experience, lit d Uter* liirilMjIf'c Of giving - attraction .it'Hiip and every dep irttueiit C f Ii,a ealli.njr. 1 'fiicc \fuk it, Lacoe, O-ld fel- ■j Y W'i li '«• ».oit, Nov. 13,1 66 if Uio senaturiul branch of winch, "vou it iogally clocuid, should expire in Juno wiiiuU!!

GORMAN & CO., company has at last succeeded in recovering tho safe of the American JSxpress Co., which Iiulh been laying in tho sunken steamor Atlantic for tho hut four or five Tears. In the office ho found the safe, ana was enabled to move it with ease, and took it upon deck where tho grappling irons wore fastened on and tho prize brought safely to the light.— Upon opening the safe, it displayd its contents in a perfect state of preservation. There was iu the safe JjoOOO in gold, $3500 in bills of the Government Stock Bank and a largo amount of bills on other banks, amounting in all to about $36000. The papers wore uninjured except that thoy smelled very strongly of decayed human bodies, us if they had laid so many years in a coffin with their owner. Of course all this money goes to tho persons interested in the wonderful adventure, The Dotroit Advertiser adds the following to the above news, which is a rare peice of information for scientific men and sextoue •:The diver was protected by copper armor and was under water 40 minutes, during which time he had some strange adventures Tho upper deck of the stearnw lies 160 foot under water and far below where there is any current or motion. Everything is therefore exactly as it first went down. Wheu the diver alighted upon the deck, he was saluted by a beautiful lady, whose clothing was well arrangod, her hair elegantly dressed. As he uproached her the motion of the water caused an oscilation of her head as if gracefully bowing to him, She was standing erect, with one hand grasping the rigging. Around lay the bodies of several others, as if sleeping.-— Children holding their friend by the hand and mothers with their bpbiee in ttUer arms, were, there. In the cabin the furniture was still untouched by decay and to all appearance by some oarbful and tasteful hand. jOim"", Pa. Agents for Tapscott'* General 3- Emigration and Foreign Exchange.

Fifth.—Tho Constitution declares (article 1, section 'J) that " tho privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unlosa whon, in c»*es of rebellion or invasion, tho public safety may require it." But the Kansas code, in its chanter of hebeas corpus, (article 3, section 8, page ip) enact# as fol"Ko negro or mulatto held as a slam within this Territory, or lawfully arrested as a fugitive from service from another Ktate or Territory, shall be discharged, nor shall his right of freedom be had uuder the provisions of this act.v _ _ _ ' This provision, suspending the writ of habeas corpus in the abovo cases is not only a violation of the Constitution, but also of the organic law ; for that provided, in section 28, for appt*'.a -to the Supreme Court of the United States on writs of habeas corpus, in cases involving the right of freedom, the issuing of which this territorial law expressly prohibits. The language of tho Nobraaka Kansas act is as l'sllaws^ " Except also that a writ of error or appeal shall also be allowed to the Supreme Court of the United States, from the doeiiion of the said Supreme Court, created by this act, or if any Judge thereof, or of the TMstriet Courts created by this act, or of any Judge thereof, upon any writ of habeas corpus, involving the question of personal freedom." But the Kansas J,eg'u4*tuM ct-qtljf set asido the law of the United States, by which alone their territorial organization was brought into existence; and effectually prohibited any appeal to the Supremo Co^rt»' upon any writ of habea* corpus, involving the question of personal freedom," by declaring that the writ shall not bo used i» tbe Territory for any such purpose! t&~ A vote was token last week at tha two principal rooms of Col.
