Mr. Borland, the moment the Mow was struck, perceived himself the extreme impropriety and ungciicrousncss of his conduct, and apologized for it since in a manner which alone could atone for his rash conduct The occurrence is the more to be regretted, as Messrs. Foote and Borland ha\e lieen friends,, and Mr. Toote had. on a very recent occasion, defended Mr. Borland against the assault of his enemies. I am glad to add that the unconditional apology offered b\ Mr. Borland, has -inec been considered personally satisfactory l?\ Cieu. Footo ; and that in all probability, Mr. Boiland"! will, this evening, be introduced to the bed-ide of Con. l'oote, to shake bauds with him. Alter so grave an oiieiice was committed, it was certainly an act ??f justice ami respect for his own dignity, as well as the dignity of the body of which Mr. Horland is a member, to apologize, as he has to a tricnl and true friend. After an error is committed, the host plan is t<> acknowledge it frankly; and not to aggravate it, ' by false pride that would add crime to rashness. ?Baltimore San. There is so much of avowed "mental reservation" in the doctrines of the conscience party, that we can never tell exactly what they are ' driving at. Jlythewnv, the resolution ollered in one of the liberty conventions, declaring that every person who took an oath to support the constitution should mentally reserve the right to disregard all provisions for the support of slavery, was erroneously attributed to Senator Chase of Ohio. It was offered by the Rev. MK j Pierpoint, who wasformerly a resident olJkiltiniorc, and is distinguished as a poet mid a public orator. A combination of religious phrenzy with po- i litical guile, form a dangerous faction, lint I think it will be put down in the North. I learn, by gentlemen from Boston, that Mr. i Webster's views are highly approved by all the moderate and sober minded im?ii in the East, but that the conscience party, led b> Palfrey, Summer and K Adams, arc rabidly opposed to it. These furious fanatics are making an effort to get up a legislative demonstration in opposition to Mr. \\ cb.-ter's views.

On one side it has the old orig- 1 iiial head of "liberty" across the forehead, sur- ;1 rounded by the thirteen stars, and stamped ' "IH'iO."
