the difficulties between Mr.. Foote
and Mr.. Fremont have been 'amica-

bly, is false, as was well known to the
writer. Imerely received Mr.. Foote's
letter as satisfaction, and no tokens
of amlty were interchanged between

and is proved SO by the record"
He holds Mr.. F'oote responsible
for the statements of the * letter,
and concludes thus:

words it stands thus:-Mr. Foote

ject was not before the Senate, to

ed all disrespect in a letter to me

cation, the same insult and defiance

The North Rejoicing.-No one,
who will look at the subject, can fail
to see that the object and aim of all
the present movements in the North,
is universal emancipation. 1t iswith
this view, that our oppressors are de-
termined to exclude us from the ter
ritories, and to surround us by cor
don of free States. Theyregard the
admission of California as essential
to the accomplishment oftheir object,
and hence an indication pointing to
that result, is hailed with joyful an
ticipations. When the bill admit
ting California passed the Senate,
the New York Sun, not AN abolition,
but what the Southern Recorder
would call a conservative print, could
not restrain its JOY. 1t accompanied
the annunciation of the fact, with
these remarks: 7a 5iaeaia.-a l..
