The subject of this Memoir was an eminent

could readily find its way into the hands of all

others Of minor importance We're presented-Fe-
ports read. resolutions and notices offered, when
Mr.. CORNING presented resolutions requiring sev-
eral amendments 10 the Constitution OF the State.

were referred to the Judiciary Committee. The
Senate then went into consideration OF the bill
for the preservation Of game on Long Island
IL ASSEMBLY, petitions were read asking an
amendment of the License law-to prevent llcen-
tiocsness, &c.
Several bills of mere local Importance were
presented, when the question of the Governors
Message was taken up. The resolutions offered
the day before were adopted, and the question on
rising and reporting them to the House was about
to be taken, when objections were made on the
plea that these resolutions did not cover the
whole ground-for instance the Governors sug
qes,on relative to the trade on Lake Erie, and 10
the closing Of locks of the Canal on the Sabbath,
and Mr.. SEYMOUR offered resolution to the ei-
feet that so much OF the Governors Message as
referred to the closing Of the Lakes OF the Sab
bath should be referred to select Committee.
This resolution was lost.
Mr. STEVENS then offered resolution to the
effect that SO much Of the Governors Message as
relates to Commerce be referred to the Committee
on Trade and Commerce, which was carried, and
the report OF the Committee then agreed to.

From the Morning Chronicle.
Affairs at Harvard COLLEGE,

We have received from careful and response
BILE person, narrative of certain recent occuren-
ceS at Harvard College, which strikingly illustrate
the benefits accrulng to us in New England
fl ON the presence in our college of the young bow
ie-knifed assasSins of the South. We shall give
the substance of the story in as few words as may
be.
Wheelwright, MASS, } ofthe senior class, is un-
derstood to be non-resistant On Wednesday,
he met Miles, (Md,) of the law school, and as he
had been introduced to him, bowed as to an &C
quaintance, but Miles threw back his head and
passed by without recognition. Wheelwright
was surprised, aud perhaps showed it in his looks.
As soon as they had passed. Miles turned and
struck him, knocked him down and beat him Sc
yerely after he was down.
Dabney classmate of W., met Miles, and ask
ed him what provocaton he had for treating his
friend in that way, but Miles refused any eXpla-
nation; Whereupon d. said he considered it a mean
and cowardly thing to attack man in that way,
knowing he was a non-combattant. Miles flew at
Dabney with his fists, but d. was more than his
match; he then grappled with him, but d. hurled
him to the ground M. came up again and was a.
gain flung and held down; and while he was down
Stewart, of Mississippi, drew dirk upon Dabney,
but was prevented doing any injury, and the par
ties were soon separated.
At night, as the college students were coming
out of the chapel after prayers, sudden enthusl-
asm seized them and they gave ten cheers for Dab
ney Directly after, Miles was seen passing by,
from the law school, and they gave him like
number Of groans. Thereupon, Graves, of Lou
isiana, member of the sophomore class, and the
bully of the college, Miles is of the law school
got up the steps of the commons and said this
kissing Miles was mean and cowardly, ard if any
man said it wasn't he would thrash him. Dexter
son of Franklin Dexter, Esq, of this city, LAD
of small stature, at once cried out that he would
say it, it was all right Graves flew at him, knock.
ed him down, and general melee took place, il
the middle Of which, Professor Pierce came among
them, and attempted to separate the &ombattants
he happened to touch Stewart, who Immediately
turned upon the professor and struck him heavy
blow in the stomach, doing him serious injury
Soon after, the row was suppressed 49,
The faculty of the college were yesterday en-
gagged in investigating the original affair between
Miles and Wheewright and Miles and Dabney
and strong disposition was shown to expe
Miles, but prof. Greenleaf, of the law school, .ur
gently solicited that he might not be expelled. Al
effort was made by the faculty to prevail on Mile
to ask Wheelwright's pardon, but he would not

shake hands-With what state of mind may b

SIGNS Of Life.

The General Conference now sitting in New
York have confirmed the decision ofthe Baltimore
Annual Conference, by large majority, in the
case of Francis A. Harding, one of its ministers,
who for having married woman owning slaves,
was required by his Conference to liberate them
by given time, and having refused to do SO, was
suspended from the ministry, and to remain so till
the decision of the Conference should be complied
ton that slavery practical southern Slavery is RIGHT

ces We are glad they did this. The conserva-
tives deserved the dressing the shareholders gave

with perfect iustice and here leave the matter.
Rev. B. WEIGH of Albany heartily seconded the
sentiment of the original resolution. " | enter"
said he, " here, in the presence of God, my SOL
emn protest against the idea advanced here from
beneath grey hairs, that Slavery IS not moral
sustain it? Socially morally, politically, there is
not redeeming feature about it. 1t dishonors us
abroad-it introduces confusion at home--it
threatens the disruption of Christian and social
bonds. AS BaptiSt-as friend of crushed hu-
manity-as Christian, protest against it,"
He thought the resolution did not go tar enough,
and therefore moved preamble and the following
resolution:
Resolved, That under existing circumstances, it
is inexpedIent TO employ as missionaries in the
service of the board any brother known to claim
the right of property in bis fellow man.
Mr.. Colver Of Boston was opposed to the amend
ment, and also the amendment to the amendment,
and in favor of the original resolution. Both par
ties wished to know whether the Executive Board
have the constitutional power to examine the quail
fcations of its missionaries. In Texas the lot;e-
ry system is sustained Suppose missionary
becomes a lottery dealer, have the Board any ju-
risdcton in the case? Is it a practical question
whether the Board shall continue to employ a
slave holder us one of its missionaries.
The Rev. d. Dodge of Philadelphia, explained
the remarks which he made when this question
was discussed before the convention, when he said
that slavery was not Il moral evil. He did not
think slavery a sin, but the abuse of slavery he
did [ j
Rev. DR.. Brisbane alluded to his former con-
nexion with slavery-his views of its wicked
character, and his unWlllingness to fellowship
those who would not let the captive go Free but
was compelled to yield the floor, and the question
upon the amendment to the amendment was then
called for and lost.
The question upon Mr.. Fuller's amendment
was then called for and adopted, by a vote of 1913
to 81
Rev. G. B. Ide offered a resolution to dissolve
the A. B. Home Missionary Society. which was
laid on the table; and a committee Of ten from the
different sections of the country was appointed to
prepare measures for peaceable dissolution OF
the Society, or some measures to harmonic the
conflicting views of its members on the subject Of
slavery.

NEWS ITEMS, &c.
The Tyler War.

We learn from Washington, that on Thursday,
the President communicated to the Senate, in Sc
cret session, mass of documents, from which it
appears that he had, upon his own responsibility,
ordered military force TO the Teas frontier, to
open q communication acith that repubhc, If CIR
cumStances require, and naval force TO Vera Cruz,
TO prevent .Me~ico from operating against Tenas!
Thus, says the National lntelligencer, &c the
President has, on his sole authority taken a step
equivalent to waging sudden and open war on a
friendly and unotfending nation. We have not
time at this late hour of the night for further COM
ment OH so extraordinary procedure"
The correspondent ofthe Commercial Adverts-
er in this exgency exclaims-' The matter is
too important for secresy: and, if the Senate do
not remove the injunction, it is to be hoped that
Mr.. Tappan, while he has his hand in, will pro-
mulgate them" This is quite complimentary to
the patriotism of the man whom the Wings have
been so eager to subect to censure for disclosing
the infamy of the treaty.
The editor of that paper of Friday, says, If
the Senate has done its duty, the annexation treaty
was kicked out Of doors yesterday; and if it con-
tlnues to do its duty, there will be an impeachment
to try"
We have no expectation of any such exhibitions
of patriotism, although an impeachment is doubt
less the proper course. But who is to do t2 The
Democrats are tied, because Gen. Jackson is in ia
vor of anneXation; and the Wings because Mr..
Clay can go no further against it,
Here, now, seems to be the proper time for the
Liberty party to step forward, and at least give
out a lead on the course which the country and
Congress ought to take.-OM0rn. Chron.
