But there are many wings south,

"The editor Of the Patriot still contends
that Clayton is free sliler and dangerous
to the South -REPUBLIcAN.
Yes neighbOr, and if you will exer-
else the reason which we know that
YOU possess, YOU will not deny that
Mr.. Clayton, is a free sOiier. How
can you have the temerity to deny the
charge in the very face Of his direct
votes on the Wilmot Proviso. We
refer you TO the Congressional Globe
Of the second session Of the twenty
ninth Congress. On page SAC, first
column Of the page and fifty two
lines from the top of the column, you
will find an amendment offered to the
Three Million Bill, by Mr.. Upham,
in nearly the precise words of the
Wilmot Proviso. On page 555, Of
the same work, in the first column,
and five lines from the head Of the
column, you will find the vote taken,
in the Senate on this amendment:
among the yeas, you will find the
name of John VI. Clayton, recor-
dcd. That vote is sufficient TO con-
vict him, Of being free sOiler. But
he gave another, we will be specific
in reference TO if. In The Senate
Journals, first session Both Congress,
page 633, twenty one lines from the
top, YOU will find proposition made
by Mr. Baldwin TO insert the WiImot
Proviso, in the treaty Of peace, with
Mexico, then under discussion; am.
ong those who were in favor oftbc
proposition, you will find the name
Of SOhn VI. Clayton, recorded.
Again on page 40, Congressional
Globe, 3Oth Congress, 2nd session,
YOU will find John VI. Clayton,
voting against the South, with the
North; on the question ofthe refer
ence of Douglass California Bill.
Refer to the testimony neighhor,
and as YOU would anathematize a free
soiler so let your anathemas be hurl-

shamefully, treacherously, and tosely
deserted the rights of the South.

A Beautiful and Charming Story.

Frank R was the gayest, best hearted
fellow in the world, and had you seen
HIM on his horse by the side OF Sarah D.,
you would have said he vas made for her, SO
wild was his laugh, and so joyous her res
ponse. We: had you been behind the
closed shutter of the window in front Of
the white house on the hill as they rode
by, and had you there watched the com-
pressed lip, the broad, calm forehead, the
pale face, and speaking eye of Joseph s 1,
as he saw them passing, you would have
prayed to God that that fair girl might be-
long to that noble man, even as 1, boy
then prayed.
God has answered my prayers. When
the long way was travelled over, and the
rugged and difficult steep surmounted,
when her fairy loot was pressed on the
rock at the summit of the hill of life, and
her eyes gazed in the deep blue sky with
longing gaze, there, even there, beyond
the blue, his outstretched arms received
her, and his embrace was heaven!
Go preach 70 blocks and stones, We who
believe that love is ofthe clay! Go preach

The Late Council-Surrender OF the Muir
derers Talk about Emigration.
The Washington Republic has been per-
mtted to read, and make extracts from,
private letters received in that city from
a gentleman who was present at the late
council between the Seminoles and the
commanding general in Florida, and whose
knowledge of the language of the Indians,
and long residence among them, impart
weight and authority to his statements.
The Republic says
The replies of ssunwlla and Billy Bow
legs to the talk about emigration, do not
indicate the willingness Of the Indians to

advices received from Tampa Bay and
which We're relied upon as almost official.

through much trouble and many trials in

the murders on Indian River. After the
U. States commander-in-chicf addressed
the council, Assunwha, the chief speaker
of the nation, replied as follows to that
part OF it which related to their removal
