speech at Taminany Hall, in which he said:
ssThere was one more remark which he vi.h.a

said that the satisfactory settlement OF the slavery
question was owing to the people themselves, who
took care to let their in Congress
know what their opinions on the subject were
The great men in Congress aided and assisted in
procuring that settlement. Your own Senator

Mr. Fremont, senator from California, and SON
in-aw OF Col. Benton, comes out in long card de-
nyins that the difficulty between himself and NJ
Foote Of Mississippi has been "amicably settled"
He says that Mr. Foote'S explanation was received
s.as satisfaction but token Of amity was inter
changed between them, not even speaking TO each
other" He charges Mr. Foote with the authorship
of part Of letter published in the Baltimore Sun.
which he pronounces false as giving wrong ver-
sion of Mr. Foote'S remarks n,hc Senate, to which
rremuns ---~,'s'on, a'r'a S"u.e~s 'na' rur
Foote'S letter OF explanation to himself was un-
true, in disclaiming any intention TO be personal
or insulting in denouncing the bill. Mr. Fremont
concludes as follows:
To put the whole in three words, it is this: Mr.
Foote went gu, of his way when the subject was
not before the Senate. to deliver deliberately con-
sidered in suit and defiance to me-then denied the
insult and defiance, and dsclaimed all disrespect,
in a letter 10 me-then reaffrmed. by inevitable i'm
plicaion, the same insult and defiance in letter to
the Baltimore Sun, denying all retraction.
With this summing up of the case and the prece-
dent proofs, l leave the affair to the judgment OF
the public. Signed, J. c. Fremont.

Mr. Clay at Home.

The Lexington Observer and Reporter says
He arrived about O'Clock amidst the firing Of
cannon the ascent of rockets, and the blaze Of bon
fires. He had chosen to come in the night to
avoid all public demonstration, but, as he said, in
substance, in the few remarks he made to the vast
concourse which greeted him on his arrival, the
friendship Of his neighbors too vgiant for all
his precautionary steps.
When he descended from his carriage, three
loud and long continued cheers went up from the
immense multitude who had gathered in front Of
the Phoenix Hotel. In a few moments he appeared
upon the balcony, and briefly addressed the people
in that style and with that voice which never fails
to produce an electrifying effect. He said that he
came home, after his long absence, with feelings
far different from those which at times he eNpe-
rienced at Washington. in regard 10 the safety OF
the Union, and with it the liberties OF the country.
But all was now over, and he rejoiced with them in
the deliverance from danger. In concluding, MIR
CLAW said that he was giadto them all again q
here he pointed his finger towards Ashland in a
manner 50 irresistibly comic that for some time
not 4 word could be heard from him. When
silence was restored, he said that glad as he was
to see them, there was an old lady about mile
and half of; with whom he had lived for more
than fifty years. whom he would rather see than all
of them; and he retired amidst general, loud and
long continued cheering.
We have seldom seen him in finer health or
better spirits. And certainly we have never known
him to return among when his return produced
SO deep an intence emotion. 1t was no homage to
power-no sycophantc adulation to the trappings
Of Office; but the spontaneous tribute Of respect
and devotion to an aged patriot whose every pull
sation seems to be for his country.
On Thursday, Mr. Clay visited the Fair, and an
other shout from the congregaed multitude attest
ed the affectionate regard in which he Is held by
his admiring countrymen.

GALL FOR LovE.'-Onr readers will perhaps
have noticed on our first page, piece under this
caption, giving an acco unit Of an effort by some
fiiend of a man by the name of Baker, now in Jail
at Springfield Illinois, on charge OF robbing the
mail, to convey to him the means of making his
escape. seems that the pamphlets attempted to
be conveyed to Baker were bound in st Louis by a
binder by the name Of Deitz, who our readers may
remember, resided in this city, something near two
years ago. Mr. Deitz, in card in the ST Louis pa
pers, says he was called on to bind the pamphlets
BY person unknown to him, who said they were
for lady. The boards were FINISHED BY Deitz,
ana were made very thick by the express order of
the person who brought the pamphlets to be bound
NO suspicious were excited in Dei,.'s mind at the
time ana ne says that il IN boards contained the
saws mentioned in the piece referred to, they were
inserted after they left his care.
Inc whole affair wears an air Of mystery.

Church Polity.

We beg leave to call the attention Of those inter-
ested in this subject to little manual prepared
with great care By Rev. D. Lane Of Keosauqua and
others, who were appointed Committee for this
purpose by the General Association of Iowa, at
their session in Fairfield, June ls4s Its object is
to present the teachings Of the New Testament in
relation to the proper method Of constituting and
governing christian churches. 1t consists Of nine
chapters. After careful analysis, it shows that
the more common meaning Of church in the New
Testament is sea company Of protesting christians,
locally associated by their love to Christ, TO: re-
igious worship, the observance Of christian orcI-
nances and the promotion of the Gospel" Chap
ter II is devoted to show that religious character
is the requisite for church membership. The pow
er Of the Church is shown in cspter ILL., TO reside
in the body of believers. ~ar seems to US great
force in the argument Of the manual from Cor. o
as, that Paul did not consider himself authorized
to administer discipline in this case and If Paul
was not, that it is doubtful whether any ofhis
cessors in the ministry have such authority. The
next three chapters are upon the admission, the
dsmission and accommodation Of members.-
The 7th chapter, is the mos. labored in the book,
and shows that the New Testament recognizes but
two permanent officers of churches-hishops or
elders, and deacons. The remaining chapters are
upon the mutual relations and duties Of church
members-and we would that one golden sentence
on this point were remembered and observed by all
christians; .that no associations of men bound
BY so many and so strong obligations to aid each
other, and 10 assist the poor and afflicted Of their
number, as the churches Of Christ,'-and upon the
communion Of churches.
We recommend this work with great confidence
to any who may wish to know, "what is Congrega-
tionalism." Aside from the New Testament itself,
the only au,hofy recognized by the friends Of this
system of polity, we hardly know of work more
clear and satisfactory. Its tone is manly, dignfed
and christian. No page 10 stained with PERSONAL
ties. No discourtesy to other denominations ap-
pears. For sale by Abrahams-price 10 cents. S.

From California.

Recent letters from California state that the ac
counts of the quartz rock gold given by persons
from that country have been Intentionally decep-
tive. Col. Fremont's mine is said to have been
greatly over rated. Many rich specimens have
been got from it, which have been hawked about to
make all the excitement possible, but these are
now entirely exhausted. The vein is said to be
four hundred feet long, and from one to one and a
half inches thick, and contains gold which may be
seen by the naked eye. With the present price Of
labor in California, however, it is said that the
yield will not pay for working the VEN. 1t is now
worked by persons who have taken possession Of
it in opposition to Fremonps claim. Messrs
Wright, Butler King, and others who gave such
glowing accounts ofthe richness the quartz rock,
are severely censnred by the disappointed miners,
who were led to believe that there was quartz rock
enough in California yielding 81 so to si75 to the
pound, to load all the ships in the world. But the
average product Of Col. Fremonts vein is not over
five cents to the pound, in the opioion Of compe-
tent judges.
By the latest accounts, emgrants were arriving
every day across the plains, generally in good
health, though after much suffering, and sadly dis
appointed in the prospect of making money. Gold
is plenty, but it requires the hardest kind of work
to get il, and the expenses are heavy.
