Mr.. THAYER's ACTIoN IN CONGRESS-. We
have reason TO believe that the statement of
Mr.. Ihayer's recent action in Congress, as
given in the last Palladium, was not entirely
accurate, and we therefore recur to the subject
with view to state it with more precision than
we were then able to do. Its history, as we
are now advised, was substantially as follows:
The first bill which encountered Mr.
Ihayers opposition, was one to punish tolyqq
my N Ctdh. The organic act of that territory
expressly made all its laws subject to the an
proval or disapprova of Congress This bill
he alone, OF all the republican members of the
House, voted against His substitute for all
this was two land districts, dividing the terri
tory by an Imaginary line in the middle. and
repeating the organic act.
The next was the bill reported by Mr.. Binp.
ham from the judiciary committee, to repeai the
sla0e code Of Neio Werico The organic act of
this territory expressly subjects all lis laws to
the approval of congress. This bill, Mr..
mayer, alone, of all the republicans, voted
against
He next manifested his opposition to the re.
publlcans upon the territorial bills. In putting
them upon the table he had, the first day. the
help OF ten other republicans; but their reason
for voting as they did, was widely different
from his reason. 1t was solely to keep the
appointment OF the government officers Of the
new territories out of the hands of the admin
iStration. When the last bill came IN, the
next day, and after Mr.. Thayer had made his
speech, and they had seen what sort of com
pany they were getting into, they all deserted
MN, ana he was, on his motion to lay the last
Dill upon the table, voting alone, of all the re-
puoIlcans, with tine democrats to the aston
lshment OF some, and the pain OF all the re.
PuOicans, that the member from this district
should take course SO adverse to the will

that it cannot be done easier than the first or

was had for Speaker.

DEFEAT OF TIRE ANTI SLAVERY REPORTS
IN THE METHODIST CoNFERENcE.-Despatcli
es from Buffalo inform us that the Methodist
conference in session at that place, have at last
reached a vote on the first resolution in the
majority report Of the slavery committee,
which recommends a change of the rule in the
discipline on slavery. The vote stood 1873 for
the resolution, and IA against it, lacking 10
votes of the required two thirds to adopt By
the constitution of the conference it takes two.
thirds of the conference to change any rule.
The first resolution of the report was that
Shareholders were ineligible to membership in
the M. L. Church. This action leaves the
church open to Shareholders, but debars
preachers from holding slaves.

remember to have witnessed any which has
given such thorough satisfaction to an au-
dience. The great success which has attend
ed these parlor operas in Boston and New

Gov. SEwARD's RETIREMENT.-Gov. Sew
ard was invited by the committee to deliver
the Grafton on the Fourth of July in Auburn.
The Auburn Advertiser says that Mr.. Seward
received the request very kindly, but said that
he must decline the invitation for the present
year. He added, however, that if living ON
the Fourth of July, 1861, he would then cheer
iully consent to deliver an address to his tel-
low townsmen, as forty years previous to that
GATE, he had commenced his public life, and
That occasion would be its conclusion.

BosToN AND WORCESTER RAILROAD The
Treasurer of the Boston and Worcester rail
road announces that all outstanding bonds of
the road will be paid on presentation, with in
terest. These bonds, which amount to be-.
tween five and six hundred thousand dollars,
were issued number Of years since to meet
the expense of an additional freight depot in
this city, and authority was afterwards grant
ed to turn these bonds into stock but with
good management they have been paid out of
the current earnings, while the stockholders
have received good dividends upon their mon

their way soon TO become 50.

that the statement that the Harvard College
students were not decided to join in the col

to be able to announce that the great regatta
will take place ON Lake Quinsigamond.

The CARAVAN Our streets made holiday
show, yesterday, there were so many stran-
gers in town, who came to see the elephant
and the ancient lions, and the other animals of
Van Amberg's caravan. The monstrous tent
was too full and too hot for comfort, though a
partial relief came in thunder shower, which
served as a cooler; but the rain, and hail,
and lightning, and thunder, did not scare away
enough people to make it possible for one to
witness old Hannibal, or the ostrich, or any
other beauteous sight long enough to be insen-
sible to the pressing claims nearer home.

that "the bogus delegations from Texas" were
Connected in Michigan. boston Coarier.
The Boston Courier will please take
gard to which Mr.. Greeley is not the best au-
thority. In the Chicago convention, after the
committee on credentials had reported, they
were directed to take the matter in hand once
more, with special reference to such talk about
the Texas delegation as this of the Courier.
They did so, and again reported that the Gre
denlals of the Texas delegates were all right,
ana that the delegation had been chosen at a
republican meeting held in Austin II the Cou-
rer could be induced to cultivate less rancor-
Gus prejudice and more candor. less selfcon-
ce'' anu more intelligence, it would know that
our account OF republicanism in Texas is
strlcty correct. In the days of the old free
SOIL party there were many "reesoilers" in
western Texas, especially among the Germans
and the Courier ought to have taken no,ioo
that, within year, German newspaner in
Texas, friendly to republicanism, was mobbed
by the slave-hunker fraternity of that state.
The fears and anxieties Of the slave interest
in regard 10 the free state tendencies of west.

topic Of remark in the newspapers The gen
