CAMiMDor,1 April 8th, 1850.
Daniel Marsh, Esq:. Sir, I this moving
teceived the very kind letter you addressed
to me, and which I hasten to answer, to thank
you, in tba name of my mpther, rny sjsters,
and myself, for the true sentiments. you en
terlaiu wpecting my bolovedJiiihcrj, Ymi
believe him innocent, and you believe what
is trnt. Ilo is tho victim of circumstances,
if deeply injured man. That Vie is innocent,
we his-ramily 'know; and 'notliing on earth
will ever take fiom us this conviction We
.have never, fiom the moment ho was snnluh
ed from his home, had a shadow of doubt on
eur minds and whatever tho world may say
6r do, we shall ever have that feeling to sup
port us. The knowledge of his innocence
supported my father during the hours of suf
fering in the court-room ; that it is that gives
him and us calmness now, amidst the many
sources of sorrow that have overwhelmed us.
Far different from what we anticipated,
was the result of the trial ; for we had been
assured throughout the winter that our father
could not but bo restored to us, and that at the
trial he must receive justice for the many
wrongs that had been heaped upon him. But
justice fled from the court-room, and preju
dice took her'place.
- Vet hope still lingers with us, for we trust
that the public voice w ill be raised against
gross injustice that has been committed, and
will not allow our country to bear such a stig
ma on her name, such an everlasting stain,
as will be that of the sacrifice of one so truly
innocent as my father. And if one word
from us, sir, can add a feather's weight to
the efforts that are being made, oh, may we
give you the deep assurance of our hearts,
that wo feel grateful for the interest that you
express and feel, and for what you are doing
in our behalf. May God, in his infinite mer
cy, look dow n upon you, ami bless the efforts
that are being made ; and it it is not his will
to bring the truth to light, and to allow this
awful mystery to bo explained, may he en
lighten the minds of those into whose hands
the case will pass.
I must again thank you, sir, for tho kind
feeling you express towards my dear father.
Nothing that the world can do now gives lis
greater consolation than tho knowledge that
others believe him innocent. Sympathy has
flowed abundantly from many hearts towards
us, his family ; but how much more prized
by us, is that sympathy, when expressed for
him! That our beloved father may be re
stored to us, is tho fervent prayer of our
hearts; and wo wait tremblingly in the hope,
that those who are now to decide in this case
may see the terrible injustico that has been
committed, and has inflicted so much suffer
ing on so many.
Believe me, sir, gratefully yours,
Harriet W. Webster.
SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.
We are indebted to James Sinclair, Esq.,
for the following extract from a letter to him
from A. MoDermot, dated Selkirk's Colony,
Feb. 13, 1850:
''A packet has just arrived from McKen
zie's River, which brings news that tho ship
that went in search of Captain Franklin is
wintering in McKenzie's Hiver. This packet
is sent post haste by the Slates. It is thought
the Captain is still alive.
"Sir John Richardson and Mr. Bell are to
leave this in a few days, taking with them
all the men except eight, two of whom are
to remain here during the Summer, whilst
the other six are to accompany me down the
Coppermine to tho Polar Sea; when, I hope,
if the season proves favorable, to add a little
to the chart of these regions.
Mr. Sinclair has also kindly favored us w itb
an extraat fiom a letter from John Rae, dated
at Fort Confidence, 30th Apiil, 1919. The
writer is attached to the expedition of Sir
John Richardson, and his account of the very
favorable weather during the winter of 18-18-9,
leaves reason to hope that tho search for
Sir John Franklin was prosecuted under tho
most favorable circumstances, and as we
have reason to hope, with success.
Mr. Rae says:
"The weather here has been very fine
compared with the experience of Dcase and
Sinclair; there have not been eight days du
ring the last six months so stormy as to pre
vent travelling. We have had an excellent
house to live in, with an abundance of wood
and venison, and very fine fish, as much as
we could consume, with a largo slock on
hand, in the Btore at present.
"When the packet arrived here I was ab
sent, nt tho Kendal River, with the first por
tion of stores and provisions for the summer's
consumption, but returned two days after.
Groat number of deer were seen, all migrat
ing northward. "si. Lotus lntclltgencer,

Pi'seyism. Tho Rt. Rov. C. M.-lhaine,
D. D., Bishop of tho Episcopal Church in
Ohio, says: "Tho whole system is ono of
church instead of Christ priest instead of
gospel concealment of truth instead of man
ifestation of truth ignorant superstition in
stead of enlightened faith bondago where
we are promised liberty; all tending to load
us with whatever is odious in tho worst
meaning of priestcraft, in the place of tho
free, affectionate, enlarging, elevating, and
cheerful liberty of the children of God."
A Biter Bit. On Thursday evening, upon
the arrival of the cars from Washington at
the Pratt street depot, an attempt was made
by tome scientific- abstractionist to lleece a
worthy clergyman. The Reverend gentle
man, upon alighting fiom the car, felt a hand
in hi pocket, softly removing his pocket
book, which contained two hundred dollars
.(not a small sum for a pieacher) and quickly
turning round, dealt the scoundrel such a
blow in the physiognomy at to knock him
down, the pocket-book fulling upon the
ground at the same time. The preacher has
tily picked up the wallet, and looking round

newspapers, but it is one in which we all
feel an interest. Thus far we have had a
cold Spring. April has been less pleasant
than February, and unless we soon have a
change, vegetation will be, in some degree,
affected. Grain already, in some plucos, as
sumes a yellowish hue. We trust, how
ever, that a change will soon take place
and that we shall have no occasion to ex
claim in the language of one of our poets,

HF Adjournment of the Legislature.
We inadvertently stated last week that
the Legislature had resolved to adjourn, on
the lfith inst. We intended to say the
Senate. The House has taken no action
on the motion yet, and will not, we pre
sume, until the apportionment bill is passed.
ZT Judges of the SuritESis Court.
We see a number of gentlemen of high le

Judges of the Supreme Court. The Phila

tiie rosToriicii advi:utimno.
The following editorial curiosity we ex
tract from tho Sunbury Gazette ol last
week :
'It is nercHKtry fur him to prove by oath, in
compliance with the statute, thnt his paper has the
largest number of subscribers, before lie caurnjuv
the much desired privilege of publishing !' list of
li lk r.i. He tins taken no oatlt whatever, as tin as
we know ; therefore the folly ofkie asserting "that
hereafter tlio lint of letters will he. published in the
American," on account of Ins ujvins the largest
circulation. If it is published there, it vviil I'C done
gratuitously, as it was done last week, for the pur
pose of deluding the public into the belief that his
paper exceeds ours in circulation.
Our readers probably may be surprised,
(if any thing coming from the Gazette can
suprise them) to learn that there is not a
word of truth in the above. If the sapient
youth, who occasionally figures as editor,
had, as he ought to have done, informed
himself, before he undertook to refute what
he calls "unsubstantiated assertion," he
might have learned from our worthy P. M.,
that two affidavits, sworn to by hands in our
office, were presented to her, certifying the
numberof copies of the "American," issued
from our office, with a request to furnish us
with the list of letters, which we demanded
according to law, unless the Gazette would
satisfy her that their circulation was equal
to the "American." A few days alter, the
list was handed to us for publication. If
the Gazette is anxious to know why they also
received the fist, we will explain the myste
ry. We repeat that the list will hereafter
appear in our paper unless the Gazette will
prove their circulation equal to ours, of
which we have not the slightest apprehen
sion. .Lift tne Liazette make tne necessary
affidavits and thus settle the matter, if they
have the courage to do so.
In regard to the Democracy of our pa
pers, we will leave the local advertising of
our columns decide which is best appre
ciated. We are perfectly satisfied with
the cream, and with the kindest wishes for
our neighbors of the Gazette, hope they may
grow fat on the skim milk.

POSTAGE.
Senator Rusk has introduced a bill to re
duce the rates ol postage to two cents on
all letters not exceeding a half ounce. In
the Housed we believe, the Committee has
reported a bill to reduce the rates to five
cents on all letters. Neither of these bills
makes any provision for the free circulation
of newspapers for a limited distance, and
without this provision tho country cares
but little for the bill. To them the news
paper postage is of much more importance.
Heretofore Congress has legislated entirely
for our cities and large places, on this sub
ject. It is time that something is done for
tho interior. We repeat the great mass of
the people in the interior care but little for
the present bill if their interests are to be
overlooked.

DISGRACtriL SCENE IN TIIF. SIT NATE,
Encounter between Benton and Foote,
The United States Senate was the scene
of another disgracelul encounter between
Messrs. Benton and Foote on Wednesday
last, on the consideration to refer Mr. Dell's
compromise to a select committee.
Mr. llenton, after being twice voted down
proposed fourteen new amendments, for the
purpose, as he avowed, of throwing obloquy
on the authors and signers of the Southern
Address. Mr. Foote remarked that John
C. Calhoun, now in his grave, and the cause
of mourning with the nation, was the au
thor, and that he would live when his ca
luminialors and detractors would be con
signed to oblivion and contempt; and who
said Mr. Foote is thus aspersing his memory ?
A gentleman who calls himself the oldest
Senator a man who
Here Mr. Benton, with a violent crash
of his chair, left his seat, and with an ex
pression of countenance which indicated
resolve for no good purpose, rapidly ap
porached Mr. Foote.
Mr. Dodge of Iowa, and Mr. Dodge of Wis
consin, and others, apprehending a collision
between Mr. Benton and Mr. Foote endea
vored to detain the former from moving from
his seat. Overcoming all resistance, ho con
tinued towards Mr. Foote, who, leaving his
place, stepped down tho main aisle, and took
a position in tho area just in front of the Ser-geant-at-A
nut' seat, at the right of tho Vice
President, at tho. same time drawing a pistu
from his bosom and cocking it.
The scene which ensued is indescribable.
Loud calls for tho Sergeant-al-Arins wero
made, pries of "order !!' resounded from all
sides of tho chamber.
Many persons rushed from tho galleiies
and out of the chamber, in apprehension of a
general melee.
Several Sunalois surrounded 2M r. Foote.
among whom was Mr. Dickinson, who, se
curing the pistol, locked it up in his desk.
Mr. llenton in the meantime w as at nig
gling in the hands of his friends w ho were
endeavoring to prevent him from reaching
Mr. Foote. While thus pinioned, as it were
and yet almost unsuccessfully resisting the
efforts of those who held him, Mr. lieuton
boldly denounced Mr .Foote as an assassin,
who had thus dared to bring a pistol in the
Senalo to murder him. HJ said ,:I have no
arms examine me I carry nothing of the
kind stand out of his way, P"d let the
scoundrel and assassin fire !"
In uttering this sentence, Mr. lieuton threw
off from either side those who held him
tore open his vest, and invited tho fire of his
antagonist.
Mr. Foote, in the meantime, was restrain
ed from advaneiug towards Mr. Benton.
Tho Vice-President, after repealed and
vigorous cHoils, succeeded in restoring a
comparative state of quiet.
Mr. Benton and Mr. Foote having resumed
their respective teats,
Mr. Foote rose uud inquired if ho could
proceed in order.
Mr. Benton, (in a very loud tone and much
excited,) demanded that the Senate shall lake
cognizance of tho fact that a pistol had been
brought here to assasinate him.
Mr. Foote explained, ho had no intention
to attack any body. His whole course had
been that of the defensive. He had been
informed that an attack upon him had been
intimated. Supposing, when tho Senator
from Missouri udvanced towards him, that he
was armed uud designed to attack him, he
hud himscll advanced to the centre of the
chamber, in order to be in a position wheru
he could meet Mr. Bculon, in tho main aisle,
upon equal terms.
Mr. Benton protested against an intimation
that he carried arms. He never did so.
Tho Vice President tequested Mr. Foote to
take his seat until it could asceitained what
course was proper for the Chair to pursue.
Mr. Hale regretted the necessity which
seemed to impose itself upon htm, one of the
youngest members of the Senate; but if no
one else moved in the premises, he should
deem himself uuwoilhy of hit teat, if he
could let such a transaction at had just been
witnessed, go out to the country without in
vestigation. The Senate owed such a course
to itself.
Mr. Foote, (iu his teat.) I court it.
Mr. Borland said he had apprehended no
danger, and instead of the matter being a se
rious affair to be investigated, he thought in,
on of which the Senate should bo ashamed
and should say as little about as possible.
Mr. Foote expressed his assent to the pro
position for investigation, but tolemnly pro
tested that he had only armed himself In
view of a premeditated attack, against which
he had been warned
Mr. Dodge, of Wisconsin, thought a Com
mittee of Investigation ought to be appointed.
Ilo stated that he had known Mr. Benton
thirty-five years, and nover knew him to car
ry arms.
Mr. Benton, (in his scat, still much agita
ted,) never! never!
Mr. Dodge moved that a committee of sev
en be appointed to investigate tho subject.
It was a duly to tho Senute and the country.
Mr. Clay expressed tho hope that Mr. Ben
Ion and Mr. Foote would go before a magis
trate, or elso in the presence of the Senate,
pledge themselves not to commit a breach of
tho peace, in the further prosecution of this
affair.
Mr. Benton I have done nothing to author
ize a charge of intention to commit a breach
of the peace, and I will rot in jail before 1
give a promise by which 1 admit such a
thing (even by implication.) 1 carry no
arms, sir, and its lying and cowardly to in'
sinuate any thing ot the kind against me.
Mr. Clay said his suggestion had no refer
ence to the past, but to tho future.
Mr. Foote said he was a constitution loving
and law-abiding man. Ho only wore arms
when ho had reason to believe he was in
danger of being attacked. He preferred an
other method of settling difficulties, and had
always left the door inside, open, in order to
avoid the necessity for any other mode of
settlement then referred to. Ilo declared
that ha had no design of proceeding further
in the immediato controversy which had oc
curred, but intimated that as a man of honor,
ho felt bound to take the proceedings else
where.
Mr. Benton greeted tho last remark w ith a
contemptuous laugh loud enough to be heard
throughout '.lie chamber.
After some further debate, a motion to ap
point a committee, was agreed to, uud before
any further action was had, the Senalo ad
journed.

Sr. Louis, April 15, 1860.
We wero yesterday visited with a severe

THAT OLD FINE TREE AT FORT AIGISTA.
'Tis gone, that old familiar ttee,
Upon which we loved to gaze,
And in our fancy picture o'er,
The scenes of former clays,
No more, sweet songsters of the wood,
Shall find protection there ;
In vain, Ihp lowing herds may search,
For their old accustomed lair.
The stately trunk, tho spreading boughs,
The huge, yet graceful form,
Hath bowed to many an angry blast,
And many a polling storm.
Wo loved it, tor its memniies,
A gieat grnmlsire placed it there,
Near the spot, where dear departed friends.
Were laid widi tender card.
Like a mighty sentinel it stood,
Swayed by each gentle blast.
'Twould chant n soli'inn requiem,
As if mourning fur the p:ist ;
The red mans' relics slrew the ground,
'Neath, w here its shadow lay,
Sad mementos of a powerful tace,
All, all have passed away.
'Tis gone, that old familiar trep,
Beneath w hoso ample shade,
The weary oft have sought repose.
And tho sporlivo (locks have played.
A pleasing melancholy reigns,
Around that sacred spot,
Hallowed by kindred tics removed,
Beyond tho range of thought. I.

day. "I don't think much of quack medi
cines but there is a medicine that we can't
keep house without and that it Merchant's
Gargling Oil. It not only cures all the hor
ses and out door 'critters' but it curet all the
indoor 'varmints' too if any get hurt in any
way, or have any pain coming on them, they
run for the Gargling Oil, which makes them
