For the RsgiSf,

 Not one of the members of the legislature who re- presented this county the last sessionY has been returned. They are all defeated. Ths "more re- cent' decision of the people, proves that represen- tatve may mistake the opinions of his constituents, and under the plea of instructions, cut up such legis lative tricks as shall make him "sing very snall'' when their ''more recent" sentiments are properly understood. D#.fa i..N, f'-
 case point may be found in MT. Lapgdon, who on the motion to repeal the present city ehartersmade use of the following dctatoria and high flown lan- guage; .tA,

Then discussion arose upon the rules of proceeding which occupied the board seven Weeks--the Mexican commissioners pretehded that the two Gpyernmepts were the parties ltigent, that no claimant should te allowed to come before them, and that no document should be received by them unless It came through the Department of State The American commissioners were compelled to yield after long vain opposition. to these unjust proceed ing. Owing to the-srest delay occasoned by the difficulty raised by the Mexican Commissioners, il was not until the 18th day of December, IS4O, that the first cause came before the Board for hearing on it's merits. The denial of access the elaimants and the circutous method of obtaining proofs, and the whole course ofihe Mexicans have embarrassed all the proceedings, and tended very much to bring the Convention to nought One of the claimants, Mir Santangelo, has published pamphlet, in which the proceedings of the Convention are strongly objected to, and the conduct of the Mexican Commissioners particularly censured ,. e.
