ENCOURAGE rive learn from q cores
pendent Of the Baltimore Sun that memoir
ial has been presented to Congress by Prof.
McCulloch, late meIter and re6ner Of the
Philadelphia mint, offering the government,
for the use Of the mint, method Of refining
millions of dollars Of California gold as readi-
ly as small quantities are now refined, and at
but one half the cost of labor and materials
now required. BY this method he states that
the mint at Philadelphia could refine ten mil
lions Of dollars per month, and the interest be
saved to the government on the large bullion
of 50 500, 900, now kept in the mint, for the
accommodation Of depos.tors. by advances
without charge upon their bullion. Such
a discovery, at such time, is The most oppor-
tune thing that could happen, and cannot
fail to exercise an important influence on the
commerce and bullion trade Of the world.

WASHINGTON, June IL. 1850

| WASHINGTON, June IL, 1901
The friends oil the adjustment bill in the
Senate are much encouraged. MIR. Foote's
amendments will, of course, be adopted, be-
cause all the Southern men will vote for
them, and nearly al the friends Of the bill
agreed TO support them. They will render
the bill more favorable TO the South than the
Missouri compromise line.
One OF the amendments proposes the par
allel OF 81 as the northern boundary Of Tex
as. The other recommends 10 California the
reduction of her boundaries to the natural
limits of the 35th parallel, and further, forces
California to comply with it, by making her
whole lands TO depend OIL it. Besides, it is
well known that California will readily COM
ply with the suggestion.
The motion TO lay the bill on the table is
abandoned for the present, and the amend
ments are to be acted upon, and general
discussion Of the merits OF the bill tolerated
Tor another week or ten days.
The Cabinet came to an important decis-
ion to-day, in relation to the nominations be-
fore the Senate. i: was proposed. it is said,
to Withdraw them. and to refer them to Pres
ident Fillmore. But this proposition was over
ruled. understand that Mr.. Fillmore will
not withdraw them. Perhaps it might be
considered as disrespectful to the memory OF
his predecessor. The Senate will, however,
reject number of them.
The speech OF MIR. Webster to-day was
one oil the most glorious of his oratorical
and patriotic achievements.

"Harmonious Democracy. ,,

The editors Of The Republican, Wednesday
evening, came down on as /" though they
were only driven by necessity to "expose
our Ignorance "--we having thrown out
false insinuations, and theirs was the
duty Of combating them" How un-
fortunate for the Democracy, that their

isors, are deficient even in a single point
A few articles like that, will convince their
readers that among their almost universal
requirements. so eminen,ly qualifying them

terests Of the great Democratic party, a
knowledge of the German language cannot
be numbered. In view Of the terrible loss
which the party must sustain from that faci

10 suggest that they adopt the course which
some Of their contemporaries who are much less
prominent, have fallen inio-that oil securing
the services Of an interpreter, as they will
thereby become more familiar with some Of
the articles which appear IN the German
organ. Then when speaking Of the opinions
and movements of our German citizens, they
will be nearer correct, and more fully real
ize the high expectations of those by whom
they are supported.
The article TO which they refer, headed
Harmonious Democracy, has received the
sanction o: some, at least, Of our citizens who
have been among the number, who, before
they had been long enough there TO become
acquainted with the true position of things,
were deceived, and induced to believe thai
the Wings stood in opposition to foreigners
itat the Native American party and the
Wing party were identified. We again re-
peat IN substance what was said in the arti-
Gle above referred TO, that the very class of
our citizens whose votes such misrepresen-
tatIon was designed to influence, now see it
in all its naked dolormity, and are now pre-
pared to act independently. The Republi-
can PROCESSES 10 be amused at what il terms

ticle neither proves us incorrect, nor does il
save It's party from the evils which are i'm
