in point Ct size, aud in amount Of read

have a paper commensurate with the
enlarged prospects of the party in this

they may, . fetal overthrow Of Dono-
cratic rule in Nissoussi; and they arc
daily strengthened in these anticipations

A NATIONAL Mass CoNvENTIoN.-At
the Wing Celebration of our late National
Anniversary in the city and country of
Philadelphia, the following appears among
the published proceedings:
'Prior 10 the adjournment, the following
resolution was offered by James S. Wallace,

Resolved, That the Wings of Philadel-
phla tender an invitation to the Wings of

delphia, TO respond to the Nomination of

We trust this invitation, issued by the
Wings of Philadelphia, to the Wings of the
Union, to respond TO the nomination Of the
Wing National Convention, which meets
at Baltimore in May next, will be circula-

In concert with this. File factory was

clusiyely, and produces first rate article: so
now we have files made in this city from the

new and extensive buildings going up or al

which argues for the increasing prosperity
of the Iron City. 1t is fact, that when du-
ties were lowest, we were threatened with
daving iron brought here and sold at prices
ruinous to our founcers. But thanks to the
Tariff we are well over that fright. 1t is
freshIin my memory how our mechanics were

vivid still, how we now rejoice in returning
prosperity.

LARGE CONVENTION OF COLOR
ED PEOPLE.

There was remarkable Convention of
free people of color at Kinderhook on the
5th inst, which claims notice. 1t was the
End anniversary meeting ofthe "Union Tenn
perance Society of Colored People, embra-
cling the States of New York, New Jersey,
Massachusetts,, and Connecticut. Near a
thousand members were present--Rev. Theo.
S. Wright, of New York, presiding-and
their proceedings appear to have command
ed the appreciation ofthe citizens OF the place.
A spirit of self improvement-the only
means of improving their conditiOn-ap-
pears to be springing up among these people
and if judicously directed, their efforts in
the q eat work of moral and mental regen-
Grafton cannot fail of success, sooner or later
IN a country which cherishes such lively
sympathy with every struggle for human
rights, wherever made.
The appearance, proceedings and objects
of the Convention are thus described by
the Kinderhook Sentinel of Thursday:
SAT About eleven A. NJ. the procession,
which is said to have numbered nearly one
thousand persons, was formed under the di-
rection of the marshal of the day, in full
suit of uniform. Accompanied by an excel
lent hand of music, it proceeded in the most
orderly manner in the Grove, where n stage
was erected for the orators of the day, and
comfortable seals prepared for the audi
ence.
Those who had been unaccustomed to lis
ten to the public speaking of colored men,
and whose previous anticipations were not
very elevated, the scene that followed was
one of much interest, and furnished an en-
tertainment as agreeable as il was unexpect-
ed. The speakers, both in the morning aud
afternoon, acquitted themselves not only to
the entire satisfaction of the convention pro-
per, but also to the surprise and delight of
large concourse of white spectators who had
assembled on the occasion. The address of
MIR. MorreIl in the morning, in particular,
was listened 10 with deep attention-many
of his thoughts were both original and stri-
king clothed in the most simple and appro-
pirate language, and delivered in a tone of
deep, sincere and earnest fceling-that d.
rected Itselfto the heart because il came
from the heart, and that attracted and chain
ed the attention of the whole audience.
The Rev. Mr. Beman, of New Haven, in
the afternoon, also spoke with spirit and an
imation, and deeply interested the whole con-
course of spectators. The concluding parts
of his address in particular-contrasting the
situation, the social, literary, and religious
privileges of the white with those of the
black man, were finely conceived and deliv-
cred with pathos and eloquence.

JOE SMITH-More of the late Arrest
Our city was visited this week by the agent
of Missouri and his counsel, and also by Mr.
Walker, counsel of Joseph Smith. An APP
plication has been made TO Gov. Ford for a
military force TO retake Smith, which, we
learn, is now under consideration. We
proceed to give the facts, as we have learn
ed them, of the proceedings under the ar
rest thus far:
Joseph Reynolds, the agent of Missouri.
after leaving this place with writ. procee-
ded to Nauvoo, TO arrest Smith. On his
arrival he ascertained that Smith was at
Dixon, in Lee county. Reynolds, in com.
pany with a constable of Hancock, precee.
ded to Lee, and arrested Smith at Palatine
Grove, near Dixon All in company then
returned to Dixon. Cyrus Walker (the whig
candidate for Congress) was at Grand de
Tour, only six miles off, and was immedi>
ately retained by Smith. Under the man.
agement OF Walker as his lawyer, Smith
sued capias against Reynolds and the
constable for damages in arresting him,and
