The Union comments upon the repiy of the Albany Evening Journal to a statement in a New York paper that a note of Mr. Fremont, for $1,000, had been cffered in Wall street at @ dircount of twenty per cent. per annum, and ii ii ai says: offered in vain. Tbe Journ « Every dollar of paper the Pathfinder has ever given will be paid. is prudence and his capacity for effairs will save hima from go- ing to swell the list of great men, perplexed and oppressed with pecuniary troubles. Jef- fercon, Madison, Webster, and Clay wake the roll sufficiently painful. Fremont will net be added to it His administrative facnity is as great as his genius for exploration and con- quest ” The Union expresses itself at a loss to dis- c.ver why the honored and illustrious names of Jefferson, Madison, Webster, and Clay should be brought by the Jowrnaé into a seem- iogly di-adv. ntagecus comparison with Fre- mont : Sane “« The poverty of these distinguished states- med ges tet 2 was honorable, and their pe- ouniary embarrassments the best evidence of their integrity ; for each and all had frequent opportunities of amassing immense wealth if they had prcstituted therr official stations for lawless private gains. But their official re- cords are without stain or blemish. In the most exciting canvasses, in the heat, and vic- lence, and virulence of py strife—when impetuous men are hurried beyond the rules of decorum, and often beyond the boundaries of truth, and bad men give full vent to their poisonous slanders—not a word or suspicion was ever breathed against their official integ- rity They haunted notthe national treasury with claims which no conscieptious cfficer could or would allow. With all their confes- eediy-great acquirements, they knew nothing about the enormous profits of fabulows eattle tradec. The golden mysteries of the Mariposa grant were unknown to them, and would bave Tremaine unknown to them had they lived in California in an cfiicial capacity. They never were suspected of forming the mythical com- any ot the Palmers and Cooks of their day. They became poor in the public service. Their bards were never soiled by money—not a dollar, not a penny—obtained by fraud or cunning from the public treasure.”’ The Intelligencer publishes an original let- ter from Henry Clay aldressed to Wm. 8 Wood, of Virginia, dated July 16, 1835, in which Mr. Clay gives an account of the part he took in bringing abcut the Missouri Com- premise. The IJntel/egencer in introducing this letter says : “The history and merits of the ‘“ Missouri Compromise’ having, after an undisturbed and happy existence of thirty-three years, be come a subject of renewed discussion—po:sess- ing indeed with the present generation the in- terest of a new questioa—we could uot, we are sure, offer to the mejority of our readers apy document which would be perused with pro- founder respect and attention than the sub- joined original letter fromm the illustrious au- thor, as he may be justly styled, of that mpportant Compromise. This valued relique of the departed statesman, containing so cir cumstantial an aceount of his patriotic la- bors, though written twenty-one years ago, now meets the public eye fur the first time + The New Copyright Act. This law bas been most promptly taken ad- vantage of, by authors and others interested In New York city, no sooner was the passage of the law anneunced by telegraph (the “ Times’? tells us) than all the great Ameri- cau dramatists hastened en masse to the Dis- trict Attorney’s office, in College-piace to se- eure the title of their playr—and half an hour spent in that institution, elicited the following facts aud incidents, illustrative of the practi- eal operation of the the Dramatic copyright: The firet dramatic work registered was the at American comedy in one act, (taken rom the French,) entitled ‘‘My Wite’s Mir- ror,” by Mr E.

Clayton, in a letter to the editors of the Natiozal Intelligencer, published this morning, defines his political position, saying, “I have long since resolved to be the partisan of no man, to follow tho conscientious convictions of my own judgment alone, and, no matter which of the candidates may be euccessful, to support him in the Sen- ete in all that I think right, and to oppose him there in all that I think wrong, untrammeled by party ties. My objest will be to be truc to the country and its irterests, knowing no other pole-star asthe guide of my conduot.”’ He forbears to “ comment now upon the causes which led to the destruction of the great national (Whig) party,.’? to whicb. he says, he adhered with “‘unfaltering fidelity while it existed,” and adds, in a solemn tone, “I watched over tts cradle, and I have followed its hearse. It @id uot fall by my hand, and I have deeply mourned at its funeral.’ He concludes his com:munication as follows : «*No one of the candidates who may be sclect- ed by my countrymen for the Presidency bas a right to ask of me “nore than an honest sup- port of his Administration in all tbat is right in my judgment, and no one of them shall re- ceive less. Governed by the same principle, [ will oppose any cf them in every act of his that { think wrong, and he ought to expect no other course at my hands.” The Army .—The Adjutant General has just issued an order, in the form of fmstructions to officers requiring and supplying horse equip- ments, and detailing the manner in which they shall be designated. The allowance of blank cartridges for prac tice for companies with field pieces, is increased to five hwadred per anoum.
