This Mornings Summary.
Our telegraphic intelligence from Washington,
this morning, will attract considerable attention
throughout the country especially the announce
ment that the venerable Henry Clay has declared
in faver of General Cass for the Presidency. The
democrats in several of the States are now busily
engaged in choosing representatives to the National
Convention. Much confusion and diversity of
opinion exists in the party ranks as to who
shall be their candidate for the highest Office in
the gift of the people; and this movement Of Mr..
Clay will greatly tend to increase the excitement
The report of the late Judges and other officers
of the territory of Utah, yesterday laid before
the House of Representatives, and, as matter of
course created unbouuded surprise and asonish-
ment We are assured that the report was sub
stantialy the same as hitherto published in the
HERALD, notwithstanding the reports to the con-
trary got up by same of the slow.and easy news
papers. Accompanying this curious expose of the
dongs in Mormondom, was counter statement
from Gov. Brigham Young and his coadjutors
The latter party, of course charge the Judges and
Secretary with official misconduct but do not es-
tablish the fact that the social condition Of the
MoImons is any better than represented by the re-
turned officers. So far, the houors are easy; each
has the "swear on the other''-but the truth will
have to come out, and then we shall ascertain
whether the Mormon system of practical social
ism was not sufficiently frightru! to cause a
plete stampede, not only among Judges, but all
other respectable folks. 1t is very rich quarrel
as it stands and the report the subject, by the
committee to whom it was referred in the House
OF Representatives, will make it still more spicy.
Numerous private bills were passed in the Senate
and House yesterday, will be seen by report.
From Albany We advised that the mos. bitter
feelings exist among certain classes, in consequence
of the recent canal lettings. The whole matter, it
seems has thus far been confined to the bar-roons,
wnere pretty strong language is said to have bean
used by some o. the unsuccessful bid iers towards
their more fortunate competitors. IL is, ne 7er-
tbeess asserted tina. petitions preparing, pray.
ing fer al investigation of the whole concern, By
the L. gslature. We hope hat our lie gislators are
possess.d of too much common sense to waste time
in listening TO III, nu:terings of d ga pp7inted con
tra tors but, if tie subject shouli be taken up,
let lie investigation be strict ard searching
/. is tmaies that the Legislature intends to
overhaul and remodel the present system of doing
the State printing. This is matter well worthy of
attention
Kossuth was yesterday waited upon by deputa-
ton composed of citizens of various parts of the
Union, 20 whom he made speech in his usual
easy. humble, and off hand style. Numerous other
DELEGATIONS we're also received and addressed BY the
Magyar. 1t is understood that he looks upon the
with ORA wal of Lord Pamerston from the British
cabinet as great drawback to the Of liberty

and after visiting one or two places, wend his way
Westward
