on all sides by the opposition press, and
meeting with little encouragement from
even his friends near the scene of action,
heye pursued steady course, which has
been fruitful of results which might quell
less inveterate opposition, whilst they
promise other and better things for Florida
and the Union.
In no instance has the Government
failed to carry through its measures since

been met and subdued, but the legacy OF
evils bequeathed to the present Admins

disposed of. The opposition has been re-
duced to its invention--a prolific one il is
true Ito iabricate matter OF complaint,
and, III doing so, has made amends for its
poverty in just grounds of condemnation,
by the monstrousness Of its fabricaiions.

The following letter, by Col. Henry Clay Of
Bourbon, We find in the Paris Citizen:
Messrs. LSLE g. WALKER:-In Noticing the
proceedings Of the Emancipation meeting of
the 18th, you represent mo as opposed TO any
change in the present Constitution, except to
engrat Emancipation upon il. l will suite my
views in few lines have voted for the call
Of Convention at all times when il was sub
mitted to the people, being desirous to see some
plan Of Gradual Emancipation and Colonisa-
ton adopted so as to produce the least injury
and the greatest good to master and slave.
II is my opinion that the subject Of slavery
should be eft to a direct vote Of the whole peo-
pie Of the State. On all other constitutional
reforms, If elected, will try to be governed by
the wishes Of the people, and by my feeble but
best judgment. HENRY CLAY.

Latest Intelligence from 81. Joseph DissAtis-
faction among the EmIgrants, &c., DC.

Mr.. Aiding, member Of the Ottawa (Ilinois)
company of emigranls, returned 10 this city from
ST. Joseph, yesterday.
He states that there exists the greatest dissatis-
faction among the emigrsnis who have not yet lett
St Joseph. Difficulties and quaiTeling gfowing
out of the general discontent were occurring daily
among the emigrants. Many companies have dis
banded aud selling out their outfits at any cost
10 raise the means TO return home. The perfect
sacrifice of property is evidence of the dissat.
isiaction which exists. Auctions are had daily
where person might procure himself complete
outfit, including clothing, saddles, &C., &C. at a
less price than they conld be procured here or in
any eastern city. Many emigrants also, whose ex
travasancies have plunged Them into pecuniary
difficulties, have had their equipm euts seized BY
the Sheriff. and sacrificed at auction. Il was al
one of these Sheriff s sales that young DeCamp a
citizen Of Csrondolet, engaged In difficulty,
which IL is believed will result in his death.
The general impression at st. Joseph seems 10
be, that the emisTanis will not only experience a
great many difficulties and troubles in the journey,
but that many heavily laden wagons will have 10
be left behind. The majority Of wagons it seems.
have started ont overloaded.
Apprehensive Of the trouble whish they would
encounter with wagons, many emigranis are en-
deayoring 10 change their anangementsso as to 60
out with pack mules. Some have already made
exchange Of this character, and Others are ready
to avail themselves of the first opportunity 10 inli
