Om the re-assembling the third day of this dy, which had been resuscitated afier its dissolution, Mr. Chatfield, of Otsego, offered the following resolu- tion :—(No. 7.)

Accordingly, claiming to be demoorata, they insisted that they could with Le gem d refuse to expresa any opinion on the subject of alavery. This porition was tenable, if there was no necessity for speaking. But they were driven from this by the re- bellion amongst their members. They then resolved that they oppor the extension of slavery, but also reeclved such opposition was no evidence of democracy, because any other might be in favor of the extension of slavery and this they ask us also to say limited, or else we deemed our task more examined, to see if in the Presbyterian tension of slavery, w this was no proof cf oui take to ray what const rolina, or Gecrgia, or Michigan Democracy we supposed to be. faith, and the concurrent declaration of @ prine wie ita rt We should have ht belie: id Sout he | York. cise opposite of this, and We veither affirmed nor de We would never affirm it The same ru: Asked in regard to the independent treasury, con: jon, and ether questions, and there were t thus ask us did net: believe ly Mr. Van tioduced the following revoi ut!

TAYLOR DISMOU About the middle of July last, having business in Washington, and having received a letter of presenta- tation to Gen. Taylor, from one no less prominent, I set out with the expectation of seeing the old hero, whose military fame had reached the remotest sections of ci- vilization, not only in our own widely extended coun- try, but throughout the world; and of whom, before he took charge of the reins of government, it might with truth bave been said-‘ None knew him but to love him, or named him but to praise.’’ Arrived in Washington, I directed my way to Wil- lard’s, whore I found familiar faces and good cheer, and after taking a stroll about the city, and visiting a fow friends, returned to the hotel, retired to rest, and enjoyed a comfortable night's steep. following, the sun rose clearly and beautifully, « re- freshing breeze passed through my chamber, and, as I looked out upon the broad avenue that lay beneath — free from the rattling din of milk carts and butcher wagons—I had my ewn particular train of thoughts, which would, in all probability, prove loss interesting to the publie than to myself. Nine o'clock was an early hour to call upon a digni- tary; but | knew from report the custom of the old Gencral—tbat he carried his camp habits into the White Houre, and was up with the lark. Besides that, after 10 o'clock, he was likely to be beset with visitera, or engaged in cabinet meeting. Sol thought it best to present myself when he would most likely be at leisure A hack soon conveyed me to the mansion, before which y stood with reverential feeling, awaiting the appear- ance of the porter, in answer to the summons of the bell. A second pull brought bim forth, when I inquired if the President was at homo. be seen When I asked “Can I see the President?” “Well,” said the door keeper, a bland, emooth-faced Irishman, “the President will be engaged the whole of the day, and cannot see company.” | handed my card to the cervant, with the request that he would take it to the President, and learn when it would suit bis pleasure to see me. Just five years had ¢lapred since iy last visit to the presidential abode, Many chauges had taken place. ‘The building was now robed in theemblems of mourning, tor one who, inthe interval between my visits, had faithfully served his country, and passed out of existertes. ler was the presiding genius; and kindly was I received, and hospitably entertained, when in company with “Honest Jobn,” “Facetious Bob,’ Dr. Miller, Mins Sally Wegaman, and others, Joyment of an old fashioned Virginia dinner, and the hearty and cheerful converse which followed.
