GOVERNOR SEWARD AND THE LEoIsLArURE-The
breach between the Governor and the Legislature is
now as wide as that which separates Captain Tyler
fromCongress. What singular coincidence between
the Government at Albany and that at Washington!
Governor Seward has sent another message COM
planning of the treatment given to his first. Wrong
g. -, Oh ,f Oh Cos
uor ''more last words" before he goes the way Of
all flesh? 1t is cruel and hard-hearted. Let him
have as many messages as he pleases. There is a
consolation in talking over ones griefs-but still, if
we were the Governor, we would do as Tom Ben.
der took hanging-"grn and bear it,"
THE REV. Nh. VAN ZANDr.-The Ecclesiastical
Court at Rochester before which the second trial of
this reverend sinner has been held, have closed their
proceedings and it is said that three for acquitting
him-t,co for condemnng him. Their decision is
to be communicated to Bishop Delaney, who de-
termines the question whether the Reverend gentle
man is to leave the pulpit to remain. The Court
meets again in Oswego, on the second Tuesday in
February
If Bishop Delaney cannot decide till he knows our
opnion-we hereby state our belief that the Rev.
Mr.. Van Zandt should be forgiven and retained. He
will preach better sermons before than after-and he
has long life yet to repent and make up his ac-
counts with Heaven. Besides, we can safely say to
the pous clergy-"he that is without sin among ye,
pick up the first brick and let fly at him."
RELIGIOUS MovRMENTs.-The Rev. Asa Mahan,
the perfectionst preacher of Oberlin, who has been
preaching for the last two months in this city, the
corner of Delaney and Chrystie streets, has accom-
pushed more than could be reasonably expected
He has drawn off from the different Methodist and
Presbyterian churches, (to say nothing Of sinners,
Universalists and Unitarians) about four hundred
souls, who are determined to form themselves into
new society, the name of which is not yet deter
mined on Some of the pastors Of the churches
who have lost members, up in arms about it, and
have told their people that if they attend Mr.. Ma
hans preaching, they will lose their souls. We pro-
pose that immediate reconciliation take place be-
tween Mr. Hatfield (Presbyterian), and Sawyer,
Universalist). They are both fine fellows, and are
laboring alike 10 save souls from ruin. May the
Millennium soon come, that universal peace may
reign in all hearts.
To TUE EDITOR OF THE Bosror TRANscRIPr-Tremont
House, Thursday morning, January 21th lSi2-Sir oh.
in some Of the papers statement respecting Miss
III.
statement that Miss Henshaw is the daughter Of Gen. De
Wolf Of Cuba, that she born in Providence, II. l.,
married to a gentleman Of this city from whom she
eloped with Colt. Nothing be more untrue out
rageous in its baseness OF character Miss Henshaw
the person known by that NAME is in way related to
the family of Gen. De Wolf John c. Colt but
daughter of Cen De Wolf and she is the wife of his
brother, Christopher Colt Jr. gentleman Of the
highest responsibility. Tho lady upon whom ? most
sustans irreproachabe character and is of the
brightest and best ornaments of socieyand none but
the blacklist OF all human hearts could have conceived
the design OF inhctng 50 base an injury upon an inno
cent and virtuous family. Permit me, in the absence Of
Gen De WOLF and in justice to the lscerated feelings Of
the lady thus grossly aud maciousy sandered to pro
nounce the statement false in every partculara most
cruel and wanton outragewhese author deserves the
sevcrest punishment the law and the public mind
EDMOND B. GREEN.
The black hearted and inhuman SANDER, to which
the above refers, not published in any respecta
bic paper in New.York. 1t first appeared, We be-
lieve, in of those depraved sheets which rise up
like exhalations about town, and are conducted by
persons who have taken their degrees in State Prisons
Penentiaries, and devoted to the chronicles of
depravity, filth, and disgrace.
The PACKET SHIP EScLASD.-We have in hand
very beautiful Autograph of the packet ship England
Captain Waite, executed in Liverpool re prese ntng
her inward bound, off Point Lynas, making signal
tor plot.
This sclfsame packet ship England is one of the
handsomest of the New York lnes-makes rapid
passages across the broad WATERSHEDS first rate
commanders beautiful cabiu-choice cuisine, and
sails again on the 18th ofFebrusry. Whoever wants
to go to England in comfort, take passage with
Captain Waite. He makes his voyages ont gener
ally as fast the steamers, and they are much more
comfortable.
EARLY IN THE FiELp.-The abolition State Con-
vention, held at Peterboro On Thursday last, nomi.
mated Avan Stewart, Esq, Of Utica, for Governor,
and Charles o Shepard of Genesee, for Lieutenant
Governor. The price of wool lie ris.
WnAT's THE UNION WORTH The lives Of all the
abolilionsts surely.
