sposed to put a burthen on the clerks of the city greater than they now have to bear. He had no doubt but that the former Chamberlain was killed by requiring him to sign the small notes heretofore issued. Mr. Glazebrook hoped that the amendment would not be passed. Nothing could be gained by it. With all due deference to Mr. Scott, he would say that it appeared to him like a penny-wise and pound-foolish proposition. Mr. Scott finally withdrew his proposition at the suggestion of Mr. Burr, to offer it in another form. Mr. Wynne said he was opposed to paying any one to sign these notes. He could say without boasting, and could prove by facts which no one could gainsay, that he had, as a member of the Committee on Arms, rendered as much service as any person who had received pay for signing the small notes; but if any one was to offer to compensate him, he would consider it an insult. In times like these we should have office hours. Mr. Grattan said that he was opp

th the departing spirit to the throne of Heaven. All this time they have kept alive the flame of Hope in their own hearts, and caused it to shed cheering rays upon many a doubting and desponding man. We have heard of men who have forsaken their country, but not yet of one woman who his proved recreant. We have not heard of one who has taken Lincoln's oath of allegiance. In the very strongholds of the despotism, in the District of Columbia and in Maryland, in our own cities occupied by the enemy, they remain firm and courageous, and never once dream of bowing the knee of B al. Noble beings! Always "last at the Crers, and earliest at the grave." No Judas nor Peter has been found in their sex in any clime; no Arnold nor Burr among. American women; no Lincoln oath- takers among the women of the South. If their husbands and brothers could be annihilated by the loss, the children of each women would light anew the fires of freedom, and conduct their country to independence and glozy.

onvert its finest fields into a Golgotha.--Yet, we have lived to see this miracle of Diabolism, and to realize that no form of quarrel can purify human nature or preserve the people from those calamities, inevitable as plagues and pestilences, in which the selfish and unprincipled ambition of the few may involve the innocent and unoffending many. In what country the Premier of Lincoln will ultimately find his anticipated exile, we know not; but his infamy is as wide as the earth, and he can visit no spot on this planet where he is not already known and despised. There is no civilized court in which, whatever the outward forms of respect to an ambassador, there will not be a secret contempt for the most mendacious and hypocritical public man of this century, and for the impostor who promised so often that the rebellion should be put down in sixty and ninety days. The reputation of Arnold and Burr, in future ages, will be fragrant and glorious compared with that of Wm. H. Seward.
