The following is copy Of the memorandum on
the synodical address, as published in the Dublin
papers of Tuesday
MEMORANDUM.
1t is known that the acts Of the late synod
can have no effect until they have obtained
the sanction ofthe Holy See. On this account its
DEGREES are kept secret until the decision OF his no
hness Regarding them shall have been known.
With respect, however, TO the synodcal address,
which was TO obtain immediate publication without
having been submitted TO the Pope, the same re-
serve is not required, and it is no longer secret
that it contains passage, of which many OF the
Prelates have disapproved. A large number of the
body (thoueh not majority were adverse to any
publication from the synod regarding the Queens
colleges, except the rescrpts themselves, until GER
tain points, not yet decided by the Holy See, should
have been submitted for final Judgment to bis Ho-
| illness; and it, when the address, which had been
already voted by the majority, was read at the last
meeting OF the synod, il not deemed expedlent
TO waste the small time of the synod In the
renewal of what would be then useless contest it
by no means follows that any of those several
prelates alluded to has changed his previously ex-
| pressed opinion"

know of the synod.

and from year to year, as his system
would be coming more and more into oper-
alton, the " foreign fabrics" obtaining
more completely the possession of the
market heretofore occupied by our own.
The theory upon which the policy of
the Secretary was built is either true or
false. If true, then his anticipations were
well-grounded, and the facts now passing
before our eyes should be in accordance
Herewith. If false, his anticipations were
calculated merely to delude his followers,
and the facts now realized must be found
in direct contradiction thereto. In our
next we shall resume this subject.

purchase and consume less amount Of every sort of
things, than when they had full employment. Thus
the fact OF their being out of employment will be
again the cause Of their continuing SO, since their
motive to labor for themselves, and that of others
TO employ them, is TO sell the products of their la
Dor in the market, as the consumption of almost
every individual in civilized community consists
in but small degree of the direct products of his
own labor, and there is thus, by of the di-
minished consumption, less demand for the pro-
ducts OF labor, and for the of all the lands,
tools, materials and apparatus, namely, stock and
capital of the community, to employ labor upon
Diminish industry, and you bring in train of
evils fertile again of evils in an endless sue
cession.
We may, then, safely say that, whatever legisa-
ton or course of policy diminishes indus
try, or neglecs to promote it, is wicked, calami-
tous, and ruinous.

of the contention, but of the party. They have had
evidence enough of this in repeated defeats in the
face of acknowledged majorites--our own State
furnishes striking examples of ito have, II may
reasonably be supposed, taught them the wisdom OF
great end. But SO far they have not profted by it,
dence OF the distraction that exists in the party gen
orally. We do not say, and we will not say, that
there is distraction in the party generally; but i il
practically the same if they were divided, If diff
erent sections of those whom the party have elected
TO represent them in Congress hold off from coun-
selling and acting together, as has been the case so
much during the present session.
How can party that thus acts hope that an Ad-
ministratiou whom they have placed in power will
be able to accomplish the great good for which ii
was elected! Let US be done with those disputes
about means. Let US look only TO the end-and
with this purpose in view, give to the Administra-
ton an earnest and efficient support. If this be
done, the Wing party will maintain its present as
cendancy in the General Government; will regain
whatever of power they have lost in the State gov
ernments, and will be able to go on, carrying out
the great principles upon which il established,
and thus secure prosperity to the whole country,
and peace and stability to the Union.
General Taylor is entitled to this support II
was pledged to him when he consented TO be the
candidate Of the Wing National Convention that
met in Philadelphia, and it was re- pledged to him
by the people when they elected him to the Presi-
Dental chair. 1t is due to him for the manner in
which he has discharged his official duties, and
may not be withheld by any Wing who voted for
him, without doing him wrong.

Congress.

In the Senate, yesterday, resolution
of inquiry, respecting the proper measures
for increasing and facilitating the gold
coinage of the United States, was adopted.
The remainder of the day was spent in
Executive session.
In the House Of Representatives, after
an explanation of a misunderstanding in
regard to the reference Of the bill to in
corporate the Grand Lodge of Odd-Fel-
lows of the District, and reports from
standing committees, the House resolved
into Committee of the Whole, and pro-
ceeded to the consideration of the bill
providing for the taking Of the seventh
census of the United States; when, after
some time spent therein, the committee
rose, and the House adjourned.

The NASHVILLE CoSvESrIoN.-There is a mani
fest reluctance throughout the South, IL we except
South Carolina, to send delegates 10 this conven-
ton have any thing 10 do with IL. The South as
a whole, is attached to the Union, and will make
all reasonable sacrifices for its preservation. She,
however, expects that the basis upon which il was
reared will not be altered without her consent. She
has right TO expect this. Our hope is, that by mu-
,riiI ha anp suon an unaer
Congress that the convention will not be held all
No good can come Of il at best II portends nothing
but evil. The Georgia Banner, after giving a few
meagre returns for delegates from sundry counties

demned the convention, such as IL is as premature
unnecessary, mischievous, at the present time"

PRIvATE CLAIMs.-One Of the charges against
the Cabinet is, that they have paid a number OF
private claims which have been vainly prosecuted
before previous administrations. With the e1cep-
ton Of the Galphn claim, which is now in a course
Of rigid investigation before committee of Mr..
Crawford's opponents-very unlike the committee
appointed TO Investigate Mr.. Forsyth's conduct un-
der similar accusations- is not urged that there
any valid objection 10 these claims except their
amount, and the long time which the claimants had
waited for their money.
The long and almost hopeless delays TO which
private claimants upon the justice Of the govern
ment have been subjected, has long been a matter
Of complaint and reproach. II has been easier 10
get claim out Of a bankrupt merchant than out
Of the Government Of the United States and IL has
too often happened that claims of undoubted valid
ity have been forced through only by such means
as might prove, and have proved, successful in
cases where the light was on the other side. The
attention which the Administration has given tc
private claims is matter Of praise rather than Of
censure, unless II can be shown that some of the
| claims are unjust, that their payment has been
procured by unfair means-and this has never
been shown, or even charged, except in in
stance, and that is under examination on the de.
mand OF the officer accused Those who arc bes
| acquainted with the. circumstances declare tbat
tins examination must result in his triumphant
acquttal; and certainly, until il is concluded tn,
attacks upon him arc extremely ungenerous. Mos

GOLDEN TESTIMONIALS We have noticed that
golden presents have become quite common of
late. The following is among the number, which
we copy from the Boston Transcript;
"a Golden Bugie.-We had the pleasure of in
specting to-day bugle manufactured of Califor-
MIA gold, by Mr. Z. G.. Wright of lis Court street,
and bearing the inscription Presented TO ID. H.
Hall, esq, by the members of the Lowell Brass
Band, April, $780, Mr.. Hall is the leader of the
band, and it would seem that he has won golden
opinions from his musical associates. The bugle
is a splendid specimen of manufacture. II has
twelve keys, and is richly chased; the inscription
being surrounded by scroll-work, enclosing mill
tary and masonic emblems with wreath Of
flowers.
"The bugle is 25 ounces, 9 pennywcights, and
IL grains in weight, and manufactured entirely Of
California gold, Is carats fine. The entire cost is
s 600 The tone is superior to that of any instru
ment of inferior metal. Indeed, we doubt if there
was ever manufactured so beautiful and perfect
instrument Of the kind Great credit is due to MIR.
Wright, the manufacturer for the skill and exqui-
site workmanship he has displayed in it, We hope
il will be left somewhere in this city for public
hibition before ii il sent TO Lowell"

We commend to the Wings in Congress
the following sensible and well-timed re-
Elections, which we copy from the Balti-
more Patriot. We have presented our own
views upon this subject in candid and
catholic spirit. Those who look upon the
progress of affairs are often better judges
of the consequences of mistaken line Of
proceeding than the parties themselves.
The rivalry of conflicting opinions as to
methods of doing the same thing too of
ten have the effect of direct opposition.
The shadow usurps the attention due to
the substance of things, and division and
confusion creep into ranks upon imma-
terial questions, which matters of graver
difference could not break up:

WHAT THE Wines IN CoNGREss SHOULD Do
The Wings in Congress have not recovered from
the evils they imposed upon themselves, when, at
the beginning of the session, they allowed local,
sectional or personal feelings TO distract them, and
thus TO prevent their uniting in the election Of
whie Speaker. We do not stop 10 inquire who
was particularly in fault, or why IL that they
were not united. There may be different opinions
about upon whom the responsibility OF this dstrac
ton rests. The fact that they were divided, and
unnecessarily and unwisely divided, is all that we
insist upon. But the evil Of this division did not
stop with themselves. IL extended 10 the country,
more or less; and thus, the Wing party, in Con
gress and out Of Congress, presented the spectacle
Of having placed in the Presidential chair man
Of their own choice, with having surrounded him
with members Of their own political faith, and
then losing all thought Of the Administration they
had placed in power, wasting all their energies in
disputing about the best way of doing the same
thing--tbat is, TO carry out the principles Of the
party, and, Of consequence, support the Admins
tration.
These disputes should be stopped. II is fault of
the Wing party, that they are such sticklers for
what they believe 10 be right, that they sometimes
endanger the success of the measure they have
at heart, in contending for the way in which II
should be done. We respect the motive which
prompts this contention, but not the less lament
the effect which II produces -deeat-defcat not only
Of the particular measure which may be the object

tanning immense deposites of lead and copper
The quantity of mineral lead seen in distance Of

Departure OF the body OF Mr.. Calhoun.
The body of Mr.. Calhoun left here yesterday for

to accomplish this, and believe farther that he
