Proposed union of Desoret with CaIifOr-
mia.

A memorial has been received by the Caliior-
MIA Legislature, from the people OF Deseret, sign
ed by John Wilson and Amasa Lyman, delegates
appointed for that purpose, proposing:
" That the Legislature OF California, by an adj
visory resolution, submit the question TO the peo-
pie of this state, whether a new convention shall
be called, to be composed of delegates from all
California, both east and west of the Sit IRA Ne
vada; that ifthe people decide for the call OF such
convention, it shall meet with the view OF form
ing Tor the present one state, to cover all the ter
ritory acquired from Mexico, as included III Ca
lifornja and ct the same time agreeing upon the
boundary lines which shall ultimately separate
California from Deserat, which lines it is desired
may be set out in the consti o on TO be formed ;
and the time or circumstances stated where the
separation shall take place. They also say that
their constitution, if accepted, viii greatly ted
to the benefit OF both states, as well as go far
towards settling question which has produced
and will continue to produce, great excitement
in the Union, viz, the slavery question.
The Governor in a volumnous message, with
which he communicates it to the Legislature of
Calilornie, gives full and conclusive reasons why
the proposition submitted by them should not be
entertained and finally says:
g cannot, in the solemn discharge of duties
4hAPoo1u uIjO4I tliC JOSitloH " IuPy, I'i~
recommend YOU TO accede TO the pro-
position made nor can recommend you 10 make
any on your part having the same end in view.
| cannot for moment believe hat Congress will
reject our application for admission into the I'M
ion, upon the grount that we have not included
both east and west California within the limits
of the state. But should such an event occur, it
would be time enough to consider the question,
whether the people OF This state will compromise
their dignity and independence by a compliance
with such Illuminating and unreasonable condi-
ton"
The proposal received its quietus in the AS
seRb.y, by the adoption of the following resou-
ton:
RcSolred, That the House of Assembly refu-
ses to entertain the proposition made by certain
persons, calling themselves delegates from De-
seret, which is transmitted with the message re-
ceived from the Governor this day.
1t received more respectful, but equally fatal
treatment in the Senate Chic. Tribune.

MORE ABOUT THE WEBSTER DISCLOSURES
A telegraph dispatch to some of the New York
papers, has the following:
1t is stated that the person who was probably
taken for DIR. p. by the witnesses on the trial
was Mr. Bliss, of Springfield, Mass, who it is
alleged, was in the places mentioned at the times
testified 10 by the witnesses. There is move
ment contemplated among the different religious
denominations in this city and throughout the
State to pray for Executive clemency in behalf
of the unfortunate man. The case of Pierson,
however, recently convicted of the murder of his
wife and two children will tend TO interfere with
the exercise of the clemency of the Governor
and Council should they feel disposed. 1t is
certain that if an unconditional reprieve were
granted Webster, it would CRAFTY more than it
would displease.
There have been many reports IN circulation
since the conclusion of the trial, calculated to
fasten the preparation of the murder upon Prof.
Webster That in reference to the student
Hodges, of Brdgewater, seeing the Professor
cutting up the remains of DIR. p, is said to have
come directly from the Attorney General himself:
true or not there is no necessity for giving such
reports currency at this time. The prisoner has
received his sentence death, and God knows
there already sufficient terrible evidence against
him. If these reports are even true, they are
cruel; for they oyerwhelm with deeper misery
an innocent and crushed family; and if untrue,
they are attrociouS and malignant and the public
should receive with caution every statement OF
the kind.

An INCIDENT OF Dr. PARKMAS.-An incident
was stated TO Us yesterday told by an acquant-
ance OF the late DR.. Parkman. illustrative IN some
degree of bis character. Among his tenants was
a poor woman who owed him for rent. He Sc
veral times called upon her for the amount, and
urged its immediate payment, telling her that I'M
less she paid it within certain time, she should
leave the premises. She was enabled to get the
money, and whom the Doctor called again she
rendered it to him. He took il from her hand,
added so to il, and handed il back to her, re-
marking that it was not the money he wanted,
but she must be punctual.-Alb. Argus.

IMPORTANT TO CALToRN1AYs.-Notce is gi-
ven in the N. Y papers that the authorizes of the
Republic of New Grenada, prohibit passengers
from landing at Chagres, or from crossing the
Isthmus of Panama. except they be proyid d with
the necessary passports, which may be obtained
of Mr.. Dominguez, Consul of the Republic OF
New Grenada, at No, 80 Coenties Slip, n. y.
The Herald advises emigrants not to trouble
themselves about passports, but to behave them
selves, and then rely on the Texas Code of Prac-
tice,' good revolver. We presume the major
ty will act upon this suggestion, at least the lat
ter clause of it. 1t is contrary to the Ango-Sax-
on ideas of dignity to be thus hindered in going
ahead

Cthe working men of American counsel you to
labor for clear understanding of the subjects
which agitate the community-to make them
your study, instead of wasting your leisure in
vague, passionate talk about them. The time
thrown away by the mass of the people on the
rumors of the day, might, if better spent, give
them good acquaintance with the constitution,
laws, history, and interests OF their country, and
thus establish them on those great principles by
which particular measures are to be determined
In proportion as the people thus improve them
selves, they will cease to be the tools of design

passions and jealousies, will be addressed by

not nominal but real influence in the govern

York. having been made freesplders to the ex-
tent of some thirty-three TO forty acres each and
supplied with ten dollars each ID aid us in reach
ING and settling on said lands, before setting out
to possess and improve our several locations,
are moved to unite in some common testimo-
ny of our appreciation and gratitude.
We shall not weary you with many words.
You do not need our ASSURANCES of gratitude
You would not be pleased vita batteries. The
conqueror and the despot delight in these-need
them-ara surfeited with them We will only,
therefore. express our conviction that, in an age
of general selfshness and grasping, when it is
almost everywhere received Is unquestlonabIe
that wealth or talents may lawfully and righte-
ously be used to aggrandiZe and pamper their
possessor at the expense of tie weak and the
portionless, YOU have chosen TO be singular in
doing mans whole duty by your less fortunate
brethren. We even hope THAT, among the re-
moter consequences of your conduct toward us
and many others in like circumstances Will be
such change in the views, feelings and I'M
pulses Of the wealthy generally, that your course
will in time be regarded vita less amaZement
and even admiration than it now eXctes, so that
the poor shall see portion of their brethren
rescued from dependence and penury by faith
full stewards of Gods bounty will not look sus-
pic o sly around for some sinister and selfish
motive for the act, to them oplerwise unacoun-
table: and we are sure that such result will
afford you far more pleasure than any quanti-
tv Of street huzzas, or any torrent of popular
aduaion.
As for ourselves, lifted from dependence and
apathy to hope by your kindness, we mean to
show by our future lives that the wisdom OF
vour act was equal TO its benevolence. We
see before us years of rugged toll, of scanty
earnings, of exposure and parsimony; but these
are sweetened by the prospect of the indepen-
dent and abiding though humble homes, which
we hope by patient industry to hew out of the
forest. for our wives and little ones.
Be assured, Sir, that any privations we may
for time experience, from want OF adaptation
to the new life on which we are about to en-,
ter, will not abate our gratitude to you, nor
cloud our admiring perception of the nobleness
by which you have proved yourself true dis
chile of Christ, and practical commender OF his
benirnant doctrines to the understanding and
hearts of your brethren of the human race.
Yours, fraternally,

We publish in to-duy's paper the letters Of
Messrs. Chestnut and Gregg, two citizens o.
South Carolina, in reply to Senator Foote'S
attack upon them in the Senate.
These gentlemen are private citizens, hold
ing no official station, yet Senator Foote has
seen Ct to make their speeches, delivered to
their own fellow citizens, a subjeoto of comment,
and severe animadversion in the senate of the
United States, and these gentlemen, not being
members Of that body, Of course, have no 9TH
er mode Of reply to Mr.. Foote than through
the public press.
The practice Of Senators taking up speeches
and remarks Of private citiztn ms, and making
replies and assaults upon them for an honest
expression of their opinions, is unwarranted by
parliamentary custom, and condemned by ev.
cry principle Of propriety and decorum.
Mr.. Clay, in his last speech upon The omni-
bus bill, and when vexed and fretted BY the
prospect Of its defeat, went out Of his way to
denounce Mr.. Rhett as a traitor, worthy of a
traitors fate. This, we presume, Gen. Foote
looks upon as a sufficient warrant for him to
make a still more aagrlnt departure from Sen
atorial dignity and deccrum. He recently en-
tertained the Senate with a rehearsal Of re-
ported Fourth Of July speeches and toasts,
creating amusement Cor the idlers that throng
the galleries, by ridiouling private gentlemen
because, at a Fourth of July dinner, they
choose to give a sentiment that does not exact
" square with bis ideas Of patriotism and
propriety.
This practice, so much calculated to lower
the dignity Of the Senate, ought to be rebuked
by the press Of the country; and we know no
better mode Of administering q s%cathing rebuke
to such charlatanry, than by publishing the
letters of Messrs. Chestnut and Gregg.
We hope the press throughout the State will
give General Foote'S constituents an opportu-
nifty Of seeing their replies. In this way they
will exhibit, in a pointed manner, their disap-
proval of his fragrant violation Of Senatorial
decorum.
