We are happy to state that the difficulties at Georgetown
College have been amcsbly adjusted and thatwe have all
again returned the quiet prosecution of our usual studies
We greatly regret that the ae has given rise
many false and sanderous reports Among those crcu-
lated in tho papers of the day. and which especially
to claim denial are that the students held meeting
denouncing the yrannizng and demorazng practices
their st project and complaining Of the improper quality
Of their food - another saying that three students had
been confined account Of their religious principles"
These pronounce to be absolutely false We
pity who have originated such foolish reports and
willing attribute thom rather to their ignorance than
any malicious desire of njurng those whose characters
above all the waion attacks Of their enemies We
bear witness the kind in which
were treated by the faculty Of the college and also unite in
returning them sincere thanks for the prompt exerons
which they made the late difficulty to the
plete satisfaction of both parties
We therefore, hope that all further imputaton against
the characters Of the professors of this venerable nsu-
ton may Immediately and that the high repute in
which they have been held teachers and minis

on the presentation OF Mr. Clays resolutions sLet The
future provids the appropriate solution Of this interesting
question: proceeds to pay the following compliment to
Mr. Clay himself: le
We ars much gatihed notice. in the general indica-
tons of public sentiment marked change since the APP
pearance or tho Presidents special message and the an
nouncemen OF Mr. Clays resolutions in the Senate There
is IL mistake increased that the dis
tracing question which has excited much sectional feel
ing, and which threatened array portion of the Union
against the other is in fair for harmonious adjust
ment Between the views expressed In Mr. Clays resou
ons and those forth in President Taylors message
there s essential discrepancy Lot the iustrous
tor from Kentucky be congratulated upon this the greatest
epoch Of his public M He has stood forth in the nobles
characteristics Of his nature The American people listen
him with respectful attention He Is above the range Of
the cloudy atmosphere Of factions and he speaks from the
blue empyresn Of composed mind. In manner worthy
of one of the great coxssiares Of the republic.
We do not publish the above high flown compliment
to Mr. Clay for the purpose Of deractng from his merits,
but to state that if there be any marked change in pub
lie sentiment il is neither to be ascribed to the Pres
dents message nor to Mr. Cays resolutions Neither
OF them has been hailed with enthusiasm. and neither
Of them marks out policy which is likely to succeed
In one respect they differ from each other for while the
President recommends ga mastery inactivity. Mr. Clay
urges the immediate organization Of territorial govern
ments by the power Of Congress In one respect there
is, indeed, unfortunately too great similarity between
them Some of the wing presses contend that the Pres
idenrs policy is the thing as the Wmot Proviso
II virtually surrenders all the new territory to the
operation of the Mexican law against slavery. Mr.
Clay's resolutions recognise that law. too binding
and, Of course. exclude slavery, just the Wilmot
Provso would do is this feature which eonssitutss
one of the difficulties in the way Of its adoption We
doubt then, whether this effort is destined to prove the
greatest epoch Of his public life" The presentation Of
these resolutions will. however, have one good eject
The public will not confidently appeal. 90 many
have hitherto DONE to Mr. Clay, the nallible oracle
which "speaks from the blue smpyrean of composed
mind" the great mediator to settle all these differ
ences They WILL of course. look around them for other
lights and intrepid minds to assist them in suggest
ing other modes Of adjustment in this complicated ques
ton. In this point Of view. the resolutions Of Mr. Clay
may be Of some avail. by prompting additional discus
sions and exciting other minds to devise other and
better modes Of adjustment
