Tin denomination is to b considered as the
HVprlng of tae church of Scotland. It com
menced its organized existence in the'Americau colonies about the beginning of the eighteenth century. The ministers of whom we first henr as preaching and laying the foundation of churches, were the Rev. Erancis M'Kemie and i
the Rev. John Hampton, the former from the north of Ireland, the latter from Scotland. These gentleman appear to have been sent to this eouatry by a respectable body of pious dissenters in the city of London, for the purpose of preaching the gospel in the middle and southern colonies. They came in 1691), and fixed their residence on the eastern shore of Virginia, near the borders of Maryland, and went preach
ing in every direction, as the disposition of the people, or other circumstances, invited their evangelical labors. The Quakers of Pennsylvania were disposed to open their arms to all de
nominations of professing Christians who might
be inclined to settle among them; and the Ro
man Catholics of Maryland, being colonized under a charter which compelled them to exercise universal toleration toward Protestaut sects, also afforded an asylum to presbyteriaus flying from persecution on the other side of the Atlantic. It was on account of these circumstances that Pennsylvania and Maryland were selected as the first seats of Presbyterian enterprise aud organization. So far as is now known, the first Presbyterian
church that was orgauizsd, and furnished with a place of worship iu the American colonies, was in the city of Philadelphia. This took place about the year 1703. The next year (1704) a presbytery was formed, uuder the title of the presbytery of Philadelphia; and we also almost

immediately hear of churches founded at Suow Hill, in Maryland, Newcastle, iu Delaware, aud Charleston, in South Carolina. Among the members of the first presbytery were the Rev. Messrs. Francis M'Kemie, John Wilson, Jedediah Andrews, Nathaniel Taylor, George M'Nish, John Hampton, and Samuel Davis. Mr. Andrews was from New England.aud had graduated at Harvard college, eight years bifore.
The rest were ail emigrauts from Scotland or Ireland. Wilson seems to have been settled at Newcastle, in Delaware; M'Nish at Minokiu and Wicomico, in Somerset county, Marylaud; Hampton, at Snow Hill; and Davis in the southern part of Delaware, or the contiguous part of Maryland. Asearly as 171(7, the Presbyterian body had so far increased that a synod was constituted, comprising four presbyteries. These presbyteries bore the following titles:!. The presbytery of Philadelphia; The presbytery of Newcaslle; 3. Th.? presbytery of Suow Hill; 4. The presbytery of Long Wand. Shortly before this lM,.ok place, a number of churches, TITI of '.,er '.n .P- - -est Jersey, to Ada- " rer ,- , . tt-j, . - '

-. 8 themselves with the Presbyteriau church. After the formation of the syuod iu 171G, the body went on increasing, receiving additions, not only by emigrants from Scotland aud Ireland, but also fiom natives of i nglund and Wales, who tame to the middle colonies ami were thrown by circu distances iu the neighborhood of Presbyterian churches; m.d also from natives, or their descendants, of France, Holland, Switzerland, who preferred the Presbyterian form of worship or government. To these may be added a number from New England, who were induced by local considerations, or other circKf.'stances, to connect themselves with the Fresbyteriau body. T4ie censequeuces of the miuisters, and others composing this denomination, coming from so many different countries, and being bred up in
so many various habits, while the body was thereby enlarged, teudsd greatly to dimiuUh its harmony. It soon became appareut that entire uuily of sentiment did not prevail among them, respecting the examination 1 1 caudidules for the miuistry on experimental religion, aud also respecting strict adherence to presbyterial order, aud the requisite amount of learning in those who sought the ministerial office. Frequent
conflicts on these subjects occurred iu different presbyteries. Parties were formed. Those who were most zealous for strict orthodoxy, for adherence to presbyterial order, and for a learned ministry, were called the "old side;" while those who laid a greater stress on vital piety than on any other qualification, and seemed to undervalue ecclesiastical order and learning, were called the "new side," or "new lights." Aud
.."Hiugn, in i t!,e who,, body adopted the Westminster confession of faith aud catechisms the standards of the church, still it was found that a faithful and uniform adherence to these standards could not be in all cases secured. The Parties, iu the progress of collision, became more excited and ardent; prejudices were indulgedmisrepresentations look place; and every thin
..tuea me approach ofserious alienation, if
miu,aioiai rupture. While things were in tM Mate of unhappy excitement, Mr. Whitfield, 'n H39, paid his second visit to A merica. The" extensive and glorious revival of religion which took place under his ministry, and that of his Wends and coadjutors, is well known.

The Westminster confessston of raith, after so modifying the twentieth, twenty-first, aud twenty-third chapters as to expunge every thing favorable to the civil establishment of religion, and the right of the civi, magistrate to interfere iu the affairs of the
Church, was solemnly adopted as a summary of
trie fa.tu or the Presl-i terian church; the Westminster larger and shorter catechisms, with one small alteration iu the atler, were also adopted as manuels of instructiou; and a form of government and discipline, and a directory for the public worship of God, drawn chiefly from the formularies of the church or Scotland, completed the ax stem.

The increase or this denomination or Christians, since that time, has been constant aud rapid. The doctrine or the Presbyterian church in the United States is sticlly Calviuistic The Westminster couression or faith and catechisms are universally known to bear this character; to have been drawn up by the zealous friends of that system; and to have been expressly intended to form a barrier against Pelagian and ArnilHiau errors.

In ppr I'amilr. A "Socialist" in Liverpool has succeeded in forming what he calls a "happy family" of animals; that is, he has taught a large nnmber of animals or the most diverse propensities and opposite natures to live together in peace. He has now fifty five animals, of seventeen different kinds, nmong which are cats, dogs, monkeys, rats, pigeons, fowls, hawks, starlings, pigs, rabbits, who live and sleep together unwatched. At one lime, for au experiment, they were kept for thirty-six hours without food, and uo creature was injured. It is from the residence or this "happy Tamily" that the raven, who writes so charmiugly in Dickens' Household Words, dates his letters.

For one, I must say that I should be utterly unwilling to receive New Mexico as a State in her preseut immature condition. A census will bel,orlly taken, and we shall then know the
exai i conmiion oi ner population. If I am not greatly deceived in my information, it will turn out that there are not p-rhaps one thousand Americans citizens within the limits of New Mcxicti, and perhaps not above eight or ten thousand Mexicans and mixed breeds, exclusive of Pueblo und other Indians, and they are certainly not in a condition to comprehend the duties and attend to the rights and obligations which belong to the exercise of the government or the people ofthe United States. It will turn out, I am quite sure, when the returns or the census come in. that there is no stanted population in New Mexico such as would justly us iu receiving her into the Union, and assigning seats to be occupied by members from that State in may I not say it this august assembly. Concerning the Texas Boundary he said: "We all sgree about the adjustment or the Texas boundarya question out or which I must say there is imminent danger orspringing, ir it be not adjusted during the present session or Congress one, ir not two civil wars ih
civil war between the people or New Mexico, in resistance to the authority or Texas, to which they are utterly averse, and the civil war lighted up upon the Upper Rio Grande, which may in time extend itself to the Potomac. All, therefore, must agree, all have felt every Senator who has expressed his opinion upon this subject during the progress or this debate, has avowed his conviction of the necessity oT an adjust
ment, a compromise, a settlement or this boundary." Mr. Hale had charged Mr. Clav with consulting with Senators Cass, Foote, Webster and others that he had seen them together! In reply to this charge, Mr. Clay desired to know or Mr. Hale to "what key-hole he applied his ear or his eye in what curtain he was ensconsed to hear and perceive these astonishing circumstances, which he has related with so much seirsatisfaction " Mr. Clay said he had repeated conference with these Senotors, and that curing these consultations, no subject connected with party politics upon whirl, we might have heretofore differed, in the progress of the administra
tion or our government, has been adverted to. We spoke or that measure, which absorbed all
our hopes, which engrossed all our hopes, which
animated all cur anxieties the subject or nac-
i I ifying, iT possible, the distracted parts or this
country, a subject upon which there was be
tween us a perfect ro-incideu !e ot opinion." But, said he, how is it with the extremes who have united against this measure ? Have they not consulted together to defeat it although upon the subject or slavery, these opponents areas wide apart as the North aud South pole. j Mr. Mason, or Va., denied that Southern Senators had cousulted with Senators from Free States but admitted that the Southerners held frequent consultation "upon questions involving the dignity, the honor, and the safoty of the Southern Stales." Mr. Clay rejoiued "Our consultations related to the dignity, honor aud safely of the Union, and the Constitution of our Couutry." The Bill had been called an "Omnibus," and carried too much that the freight was incongruous and incompatible. To this Mr. Clay said: "I thank, from the bottom or my heart, the enemy or this bill who gave it the name of Omnibus. The omnibus is the vehicle of the people, and this bill deserves the name for another reason; that with the exception of two bills
