GENERAL WAsHINGToN'S LAST VOTE.
Every incident in the life of Washington
is full Of interest. That plain, heroic magni-
tude Of mind which distinguished him above
all other men was evident ii all his actions.
Patriotism, chastcGel by sound judgment and
careful thought, prompted all his public acts.
and made them examples for the study and
guidance Of mankind. 1t has been said that
no one can have the shortest interview with
truly great man, without being made sen.
sible ct his superiority. OF too many, who
have IN some way earned the title Of great,
this IS BY no means true. Its applicability to
the character Of Washington is verified III the
following interesting circumstances related
by correspondent Of the Charleston Cou-
rier: .--=-a-

light Of crazy steps on the outside. The

IL ne General ssembly Of the New
School Presbyterian Church, which has
been in session in ST. Lou during The
past fortnight, adjourned yesterday, after
the adoption Of resolution appointing
the nexl annual meeting in New York
City.
The greatest harmony and good feeling
seems to have prevailed throughout, tie
session of the Assembly, and the slavery
question itself scarcely ruiiled the even
temper of their deliberations.
On Friday, the Committee reported
resolutions upon that subject substantially
re-affrming the previous testimony of the
Church
The resolutions were discussed at con
siderable length by number OF member,
and finally adopted by large vote.
We copy SO much of the discussion
as will sefte to exhibit the spirit of the
resolutions, and the dineren, light in
which they were viewed by members of
the Assembly.
Mr.. Jewell defended the action of the
Buffalo Assembly. The principle o. pro-
pounding inquiries, and enoining specific
attention to particular evils. has been acted
On by the Assembly al all times. He read
from the minutes several instances where
the Assembly had instructed the Presby
teriss to take special notice Of particular
sins-as Sabbath breaking. dancing, sc.
Yet these instructions were never opposed
because they were unconstitutional. He
had no desire to crowd this subject: vet
ne could never consent 10 any retractions
lie was no. All Aboliti0nist in the techni-
Cal sense OF that word, and desired no
new measures He approved the repor,
because 1t leaves the ssembly Just where
il always has stood-on the ground Of
consistent, constitutional, and matly hos.
iiliiy to slavery.
Rev Mr.. Caldwell, OF Tennessee. SAID
that ne came to the Assembly in the hops
that the unity Of the Church would lie IRE
served. II the report hal been such tia
the South could swallow a, all, he woule
not object; for he appreciated the feeling
which induced this yearly agitation. Bu

MExIco--A Washington correspondent of the
New York Courier says that the news from Mex
leo is worse for Santa Anna than was anticipated
His lieutenants have overcome the revolutionsts
at Morelia in the State of NlchOacan, and he will
take good care Of their leaders. This was the
headquarters Of the revolution in the South, the
Inhabitants having the reputation of being the
B'hoys Of Mexico, and therefore constitutionally
disposed to lawess violence. But the real danger
was not in the South but in the North, where the
insurgents had the advantage of arms from the A
mericsn side of the line and the more substantial
assistance numbers oflight troops, organized as
flibustering volunteers from the same region. In
those Northern districts some successes are repor-
ted which, if true, will cause considerable alarm
a; the capital. 1t still seems probable that Santa
Anna viii fight bis way through the present trUu-
bles; but if not, he will compromise with his OPP
ponents by running away. la that case, the last
act Of Mexican history will commence. prey
to hopeless domestic anarchy, 1t must become an
absolute mOnarchism under protection Of some Of
the European powers, or Join our coniederacy as
equal States of the Union or as dependent pro-
