Hon. J- C Fremont.
The history of this young man is high
ly interesting. A few years ago lie was a
Lieutenant u the army, and an attache 10
the corns of Topographical Engineers.
His business called hmi much to Wash
ington, where he became acquainted with j

this stripling in epaulelte-r had the tcmeri-1

Tiao-e notwithstanding he knew them ,
much liigher in authority had solicited tiie i
same in vain. Miss Denton most readily !
consented, so far as she was concerned
but intimated that she had a lather who
had manifested some degree of interest in
her welfare, and might want to be consen
ted in the matter. fShe laid the "proposal"
before the old gentleman. He objected to
the proposition in tolo. "His daughter,
educated for a Prince, was not going to
marry a Corporal" Fremont was forbid
den to enter his domicil, and Miss Benton
was put under guard. "Old Tom" had
overacted the matter. He did not then
know the young Lieutenant. His duugh-

the "Expunging Resolutions" she was
bound to stick to her young lover against
all the world. The next the anxious fa
ther knew of his once devoted daughter,
she had escaped her keepers, and in a pri
vate parlor at CJadsby's Hotel was m.er
changing vows before a magistrate with
the banished Lieutenant.
At last the old man raged, but soon was
made acquainted with the metal of his
new son-in-lw, a reconciliation took place
and in Old Tom, Fremont has not only
had a friend, but an admirer ever since.
His travels, researches, scientitic explo
rations and feats of valor and sutleiiug in
the Far West, are events known to the
world, and we say without a parallel.
His collision with Kearney in Califor
nia brought him before the country in a ,

Ancient Sa!c of London.
Under I'M ward the Fourth, we first
hear of brick houses; and in Henry the'
Eight's lime, of pavements in the middle
of the streets. The aspect of London then
experienced a remnikable change, in con
sequence of the dissolution of religious
hou.es; the city fro.n the great number of
them, having hitherto had the appearance
"of a monastic, rather than a commercial
metropolis

with what it is tmw. The slreetswhich
had been impnssab!- from .iiud, were often
rendered so with filth and It'll; and its
homeliest wants being neglected, and the
Ileuses almost meeting :tt lop, with heavy
signs lumbering and filling up th- inferior
spnees, the metropolis wis subject to
plagues as well as fires. Nor was the
interior of the In. uses belter rcgaided. The
people seemed to cultivate
plague.

"Hcsolved, That a committee be ap

duty it shall be to inquire into the existing
federal relations of this State as a member
of this Union, and make report of the re

authorized their chairman to submit U12

The system of the goveriiment, fcrmEd

symmetry is destroyed, and ils harmony
deranged. Like all benevolent institutions
however calculated to secure the happi-
ness and welfare of man. it has its adver-
