"The Senator from Kentucky certainly must
have misunderstood the Senator from Mississippi.
The honorable Senator from Mississippi never
could have intended TO shy that we sought TO pro-
cure the passage Of sn act OF Congress- establish

United States which we had right to govern by
Territorial Government prior 10 the time Of
forming constitutions for themselves. The differ

slavery shall not be prohibited. There is the diff
ference not that IL shall be admitted or establish
ed, but that IL shall not be prohibited. DO ! I'M

the subject than do. am free 10 say that am
the very last man who would be willing TO en-
courage such establishments"
While expressing his dissent from the positions
generally Of Mr.. Clay, he was willing to give the
resolutions fair and candid consideration.

tion. General Wilson is gentleman of mature
years and of the first respectability Implicit
reliance can therefore be placed in the accuracy
of his statements | will add that it gives me
much satisfaction to afford you the means Of re-
polling injurious statements recently put ahoat,

worthy the good conduct, order, and happiness,
Of your people in the Great Salt Lake country.
And as they are in the interior of this continent,
separated by vast deserts and mountains from
the scenes of disorder and confusion in which
they were 80 long involved in Missouri and llli-
nois il is my desire that they should become
great, prosperous, and truly Christian commu-

MAGISTRATES.

The End section of our bill of Rights unani-
mously adopted Jure 10th, 1776, s'as the basis
and foundation Of Government,n mentions THAT
all power is vested in, and consequently derived
from the people that Magistrates are their trus-
tees and servants, and at all times amenable to

porting to be based upon the declaration of the
inherent and maienable rights OF man, and al

MORE CHEERING SIGNS.

The Senate is now earnestly proceeding to
action. Several votes were taken on the three
last days, which were of an important charac-
ter. The Wimot Proviso has been voted down
by majority of ten. An amendment of Mr..
Baldwin, Of Connecticut, declaring the MeXi-
can laws in force in the Territories, was reject.
ed on Thursday. An amendment of MIR. Yuee,
declaring that the constitution of the United
States is of force in these Territories was adopt
ell on the same day.
Various other motions have been made, ard
SO decided as to give cheering signs of the sue
cess of the scheme of adjustment. We repeat
with more confidence even than we could have
said a few days ago, tina: the skies are brighter,
and we trust that the day is coming for the set
Element of this distractils question, and giving
peace 10 our country. When some Of our friends
who have appeared little bitter upon certain
points have amended the bill to suit their own
views or tried in vain to amend it, we earnestly
hope that they will be found voting for the Adj
justment in that spirit of Cancellation and COM
promise which is so necessary TO reconcile the
complicated interests and feelings OF this great
contederacy .-Unton 18Th.

VIRGINIA yENAEE INSTITUTE.

The anniversary exercises at this Institution
took place on Thursday evening last, in the pres
ence of large and intelligent audience. The
studies had been previously completed. 1t is
rather difficult task to do Justice to exercises
so interesting, and where all are entitled to
praise and all performed their parts so well, to
make Determinations would be iilvidious. SUI
flee it to say, we have never witnessed an eXh-
bition of the kind e.hich gave more general sat
sfaction to the friends of the pupils and OF the
Institution. The exercises on Thursday We're
confined chiefly to Music and the reading OF
Composition by the young ladies' These essays
evinced talent-they exhibited an intimate &C
quaintance with History and were read with
fpency. We do not design parading the names
of the Dung ladies before the public, and will
only give the titles of the pieces read-the fair
author will recognize her own, viz: Blessings
in Christianity and National Great
ness-The Ocean-Foo4prints Of Ambition
Fanaticism-The Sword and the Cross-Our
says have been spoken Of in the highest terms
of commentator.
The Virginia Female Institute is yet in its in
fancy, and must soon, if j! does not now, rank
as one of the first Female Semnaries in the
State-and the ability, industry and energy oil
its accomplished and highly-respected Princi-
pal, [Rev R. H. PHrLL1rsl and his Assistants,
will draw crowds of applications for admission
within its Halls. The whole number of pupils
the past year was Sc.
AT the close of the exercises Testimonials and
Medals were conferred upon the different pupils
to whom they had been awarded-after which
the Benediction was pronounced by the, Rev.
Mr.. CAsrlEMAs, and the company dispered.
THE effort at applause was in decidedly bad
taste
