Ab,ut the middle Of July last, neighbor of

ceraning whether he designed to bite him, di.

DEAR SrK.-In your pa PER of the 10Th ins'..
I. f,r the first time, read ,he following extracts:
The Hon. Il. Hem, passed through this place
/ on Tuesday evening on hs way home from
Congress- We understand that he attributes
, the defeat OF the bogus Democracy "f Iowa. 10
large number Of extra Tribun-s sent in by
! Greely-now this Greely must b. great man
to exert such an influence over Iowa Iowa
Oh l7,h.
-Mr. Hem has certainly fallen into error
though a very natural one We sent no Extra
Tr,bunes to Iowa not cnpy-but our regular
circulation in that State must exceed 5000 cop
les; and Mr. Hem meeting the Trbunes every
where in his political peregrinations, may very
naturally, though enormously, have ccrc'udrd
that we were flooding the Stae with ezra
copies lie will doubtless find Tribunes just as
pie n,iful there next year, only more so.-N.
Tribune.
Now the whole of the above IS manufactured
to satisfy Abel ton hankerng after falsehood
When arrived at Mt. Pleasant, learned, to
INV astonishment, that a boli,on orators in the
late canvass, had asserted that the Nebraska
Kansas act gare the Sareho' 'ders the poaocr to
cast cote for himself. and also a ro'e for erery
Slare he took to either Of said Territories aud
further, that many of the Alb b'h,ionlsts OF
Henry county pretented to believe the truth OF
such assertion!. | stated, when at Mount
Pleasant, that il was not surprising that such
.atemen,s should obtain credence, it the COL
umns of the N Y. Tribune vas the source from
which the information was obtained, and pre-
.umed it was, rs ! understood that he had cir
culatrd 6, ,O00copes ats in our State'durng the
campaign-and as Aboiiiunists took that paper
as good authority, they ought not to be blamed
for their ignorance Now neither attributed
the result Of the election 10 the influence OF
the &c Tribune" nor do | believe one acord OF
what Greely says about not sending extra &C
n;es Of the Tribune t. our State. Your COM
men,s in regard thereto are no doubt, truthful
10 the letter.
The whole tenor Of my conversation was to
show tha, public sentiment upon the Nebraska
Kansas act, was. in certain quarters, manufac-
tured out Of the assertions of the Tribune,
instead Of being made up from the act itself
the two always differing as far as extremes
could differ.
Yours, truly,

REV HENRY CLAY DEAN.

We understand that the above gentleman
delivered an able aud eloquent discourse at the
new Methods, Church, laat evening, which
was listened To by large and respectable audi
ence, composed Of members OF almost all the
various denominations Of the city, many Of
whom were attracted thi,her for the sole pur-
pose Of hearing Mr.. Dea', who has attained
considerable celebrity in this State. and elee-
where. as divine. We are indrced thus to
notice the Reverend gentleman's discourse, be-
cause of the high ground which he took upon
the Slarery and KnoDJSothimg agi atoms Of the
day We are most happy TO lie able to state upon
the authority Of those who listened t. him, with
pride and pleasure, tha, he distinctly rePudiated
all legislation on the question "f Slavery, and
declared moral power TO b. the only successful
and efficient elemen: of opposition To that grea,
.. moral and political evil" TIL. simple prayer
Of the unhappy slave, said he. will avail more

Reacl., said he, the moral sehsibilties OF the
people, and you reach the very root of the evil

be at war with every christiin duty and oh

impartial esteem.

CoRRxcrios- thank the editor of the
" Observer for bringing to our notice some o.
the laundering Of one Of our composi'ors'
circumstance by no means uncommo" IN q daily
issue.
The scrap which elici,s the criticism OF th's
atustrioxs Reviewer, is the following
win any man protesting the least respect Tor
the inteilircnce of his readers, as for his own
indionitv. attempt to eratfy this resolution ia
mean , Dassare resistance TO the Fugitive slave
Law?
The manuscript read a. follows:
"W,ll any man possessing the least respec'
for the intelligence of his readers, or ior nus
own dignity, ate emPtto magnify 'his fesoiu..o"
to mean a pass;Us resistance to 'he fue''Ve
Slave Law
In making the above misprint, subject Tor
near a half column Of editorial comment the
-d,cr has succe s.fully vindicated his character
for acute..ss of perception. Ii We analgned
him for obfxseness. we take it oil back. HIS
issue Of this morning triumphan,ly refutes such
an idea.
We have word, however,t TO say, regarding
the moral moms,rosity, which the editor harps
% much about. II our recollection serves Us,
the editor stated in his issue on Monday, that
The resolutions Of the Geneeee Conference did
not look 10 oetire resistance to the Fugitive
Slave Law, but mere Pass,rs resistance we
understood him to approve of said resolutions.
Now we understand him to admit the construc-
tion-ot actire resistsnee-given BY us 10 the
f;rs, resolution Of said Conference. and TO DIS
approve Of the resolution. Perhaps we are
going too far, in saying, that he admits the cor
rrctness of our construction; but we certainly
are not, in awarding to him the admission, tha.
ONE mart of the first resolution Of said Confer
ence favors passive, and the other par. aci're
resistence to the Fugitive Slave Law. The ed
i,or's facility for drawing distinctions is truly
and adds snother laurel to the
Of his editorial brow.
Having repnblished the resolution wherein
the Conference repndiated Obedience to the Fu-
ri,ive Slave Law, and recommended resistance
10 its execution, il is unnecessary to 60 over
the same ground again. The resolution 50
clearly and emphaticallv adopts the idea Of ac-
tive resistanee to the execution Of the law, that
It would be an objectionable insult to the intel
ligence of our readers to pursue the subject
