The New York Tribune of the 22d instant says:
"The closing scene OF the Syracuse treason case
derived it's principal interest from the presence, at
Auburn of Governor Seward, who signed the bail
bonds of all the prisoners and according TO an &C
count of the proceedingsrec by slips from the
Album Journal after our correspondents letter
was in type, invited them to has house"
The same paper concludes summary OF the
as follows:
'The Judge having concluded, n bond In S2OOO
for the appearance Of Ira n. Cobb was prepared,
and signed by Alfred Cobb and William h. Sew
ard.
"a bond in $4,000 each for the four other white
men prepared and signed as follows: William
II. Seward, Lyman CIary, Oliver u. Burt, Henry
Clifford, r. w Washburn, George Barnes, Willan
E. Abbott. Abner Bates, John Anles, Hiram Put
nam, f. w. Leavenworth. Charles H. Sedgwick,
Charles A. Wheaton, X. Il. zoe, Charles Leonard,
Alanson Thorp.
"a similar bond was executed for the three col
ored men in the sum Of $500 each-GoveFnor Sc
ward signing all three Of the bonds. As he signed
the second one he remarked to the friends about
him that he did not suppose such an act could be
regarded as a recognition Of the moral obligation
of the Fugitive Slave law and, turning to the dis
trict attorney, playfully inquired whether signing
such bond would come under the head OF con-
structive treason
"The court adjourned sine die.
"Ths over Governor Seward invited the parties
from Syracuse to his house, which invitation was
cordially accepted. The whole party repaired TO
the governors mansion, and there enjoyed half
hour, which passed in friendly chat and introduce
tions to the honorable Senator-a man admired and
beloved because of his bold and unyelding adyo-
cacy Of liberty"

The Opposition.

The .ssolev DEMOCRATIC organ of this city
is waging the most bitter warfare against Pres
ident FILLMORE, notwithstanding its daily al
legation that the policy of his Administration is
more acceptable to the DEMOCRATS than to the
Wines. Our contemporary employs eight or
nine columns in his impression of Monday to
demonstrate that the Northern Democracy have
rallied upon" and are determined to 'tmain
tain" the measures of Adjustment, in pursuance
of the recommendations Of the PRESIDENT in
his annual message. This is all well. 1t is
apparent that the Wines of the Northern States
are prepared at all events to '.acquiesce" in
these measures. Now, If the DEMOCRATS
of the North and South are not only pre-
pared to "acquiesce' in them, but 10 ap.
prove and applaud them vehemently, Gas our
contemporary insists,) President FILLMORE
has certainly taken a strong position, and
laid down toerably broad and national plat
form. He may be said, under those circum-
stances, to represent in his sentiments no in
considerable portion of the American people.
His course pleases more than 1t is generally
safe OF desirable for politician to please--his
oldest thing is, that those opponents who pro-
test that they are so well pleased, and that the
only point they care about is the maintenance
of the very policy which the PRESIDENT has
warmly recommended and undeviatingly pur-
sued, are many of them as violent and reckless
in their efforts TO break down his Admlnistra-
ton as if he were pursuing course which they
deemed the ruin and not the salvation of the
country.
Such an opposition is obviously factlous and
mercenaTy for it starts with an assumption
which demonstrates that it ought not to exist.
The cement of the opposition is the support of
the Compromise and the Compromise is the
platform of the present WING Administration
When men band together to overthrow an adj
ministration whose principles they approve, and
whose policy they deem essential to the safety
Of the country, they make proclamation Of
personal war, sort of predatory expedition, in
which the interests OF the nation are sacrificed
TO promote the ambitious schemes OF individuals
The DEMOCRATIC party in fifteen States is OPP
posed to the Compromise and in fifteen other
States ii is divided. Take from the DEMO
CRATIC party the Secessionists and the Free
sellers, and deprive it Of the strength derived
from It's Abolition alliances in the Northern
States, aud it is in feeble minority in the
nation. The idea that the conservative resi-
due OF the Democracy is strong enough to break
down WHIG Compromise Administration,
and build up a DEMOCRATIC Compromise Ad-
ministration, is plain absurdity. Good men,
therefore, and patriotic men, who look only TO
the interests of the country, will rather rally
upon and maintain the ground of a VINO
PRESIDENT and his advisers, and thereby
strengthen and establish the principles which
they hold in common, than endanger the sue
cess Of those principles by blind, reckless,
and unprincipled opposition to the men by
whom they are honorably and efficiently repre-.
sented

Il is difficult 10 realize at first thought the great
accession to our metallic currency since the dis
covery of gold at California. When the fret few

ing what effect il is likely to have upon the wealth
and prosperity of the nation. Various estimates
have been made of the entire production OF the Cal
ifornia gold regions and we have several times
prepared tables in which the amount was given az
far as il could be ascertaned. For many OF our
items, however, have been obliged to take esti-
mates in the place of official returns as the lat
ter were frequently wanting, or so published az

preparing tables which should give the receipts
ut all of the minis down 10 a given point,
from which our readers could begin, and complete
the record for themselves. The monthly state

the mint, must, Of course, be partially estimated,

II is from those who now, have been, iden-
tilted with the doctrines and practice of Rhettsm
and Disunionism at the South. Abolitionism and
Disunionism at the North, that we hear the bitter
est and most insulting abuse of MIR. FILLMORE and
his Administration, They hate him with hatred
absolutely fendish, because he stands a rockirm,
insuperabe barrier to the accoinp shment of their
destructive schemes. But the moderate and con-
servatve men of all parties, North and South,
have almost to man rendered him the just tri-
butte of ''Well done, thou good and faithful SER

Inauguration of Governor Campbell.

General w. b. CAMPBELL delivered his in
augural address, as Governor of Tennessee, on
Thursday the 10th instant. In his opening re-
marks he dwells on the importance of improv-
ing the educational system of the State, and
calls upon the Legislature to endeavor to ac-
complish something in this respect worthy Of
their opportunities, and of the needs and wishes
of the people. On the subject of railways and
general internal Improvements of the State, he
speaks at some length, pointing out its com
handing geographical position, and its unsur
passed natural resources, together with the
limited extent to which these advantages have
50 far been turned TO account. His own opin-
ion is that the people will be found willing to
see the credit Of the State brought to the aid of
individual capital and enterprise, whenever it
can be done without serious danger of loss, and
in undertakings that are really of public char
acter
Passing from these topics, Governor CAMP
BELL enters into review of the leading fea-
lures of national politics, in tone that amply
fufils the expectations formed of him at the
time of his election. This portion Of his ad-
dress is so statesmanike and just, and wilhal
so important in the present aspect of southern
affairs, that we transfer il TO our columns IN er-
tense.

SOUTHERN CoNGREss.-Thc proposed Southern
Congress is likely TO consist Of two members, viz:
r. Barnwell Rhett, and ono other gentleman whose
name do not now remember. Mr.. Rhctt will
of course be president, and the other gentleman
clerk. The convention was to meet at Montgome-
ry, Alabama; but since the Scccssionists have been
defeated in that State it is presumed that the place
of meeting will be changed. To speak in palmer
language, the plan Of Southern Congress has TO-
tally failcd--thanks TO the noble Union sentiment
extensively prevalent throughout the South.
But let it be remembered that this Union scnti-
mcnt rests upon the Compromise. Take that away,
let il be disregafdcd by the North, and the Union
party would be as completely demolished at the
South as the Scccssionists now have been Every
thing depends upon a faithful adherence TO the
Compromise by the North.

The total production of California gold since It's
first discovery must be considerably over ONO HUN
DRIED MILLIONS DoLLARs-thus being equal to
one half the total coinage of the country since its
separation from the British empire. To the s 50,-
600 900 received at the mint, shown above, must
be added large amounts received here, and con-
sumed by dentists and jewellers; considerable
amounts shipped from San Francisco directly to
other countries the whole amount of the gold
coinage and circulation Of California itsclf ipclud
ing the 8 90 pieces stamped by the United States
aEsaycr; the shipments received since the first of
October, amounting at this port TO nearly quite
$4,000 900; and all the gold dust in the hands
Of miners and merchants the Pacific side.
1t will not be too large estimate, probably, to
put down the entire production so far at s l20,-

The production Of gold has appreciated the value
of silver in comparison, and that, too, at n time
when the relative value of the latter had been in
creased by series of financial movements in Eu-

WASHINGTON:
FRIDAY MORNING. OCTOBER "a, 1851.

'.The series of measures to which have alluded
are regarded by me a settlement, in principle
and substance-a final settlement-ofth the danger
Gus and exciting subjects which they embraced :"
BY that adjustment we have been rescued from
the wide and boundless agitation that surrounded
us, and have firm, distinct, and legal ground
to rest upon. And the occasion trust, will JUS
tify me IN ExHoRTiNe MY ooUNTRyMEN TO RALLY
UPON AND M AINrAIx THAT GROUND as the best, II
not the only means Of restoring peace and quiet
to the country and maintaining inviolate the IN
tegrity of the Union"
IPREsrDEsT FILLMoRE's MESSAGE.
"a The Presidents message, at the opening oil the
present session Of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly hisow and the unanimous opinion OF all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
istration OF the Government, in regard to what
are called the Adjustment or Compromise mca-
cures of last session That opinion is, that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
final settlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from imperfections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connexon, they formed
system of compromise the most conciliatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interests and
opinions, and that therefore they should be adj
hered to, until time ard experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse. That opinion,
SO far as i know, remains entirely unchanged,
and will be acted upon steadily and decisiveiy.
The peace of the country requires this; the Sc
CURLY of the Constitution requires this and every
consideration of the public good demands this.
If the Administration cannot stand upon the
principles of the message, it does not expect to
stand at all."-DANIEL WEBsTER's Letter 10 the
