We place before our readers to-day, The procee-
dings OF The District Wbg Convention, held at
Manchester on the 10Th inst The doings at that

IRELAND.

The condition Of Ireland attracts much attention
at The present time. Repeal meetings have been
held IN vaious parts Of our country at which much
sympathy has been expressed for the oppressed in
habltahts OF that far famed land Alta meeting at
Boston some weeks since, Robert Tyler, son of the
PRESIDENT, made very warm and spirited speech
IN favor of the Repealers. We could moi help
thinking on the perusal of that speech, how very in-
consistent it was for stakeholder 10 express SO
much sympathy for the opprt ssed Of foreign land.
And we find that the strong language used by o.
Connel against slavery, has greatly cooled the ar.
dor OF the Southern friends Of the Irish. They
doubtless wish that Irishmen should be free, but
no. word must be uttered against the bondage of
the colorrd race at the South that would be trea-
son tn their peculiar institutions" Liberty for the
whites, slavery for the blacks, is a prominent arti.
Gle IN the creed Of Southern Democracy.

II is an old saying that Politics make strange
bed-lellows." The Rochester Democrat thinks
the present 'aiIinites' of The loco foco party
demonstrate the truth of the maxim. Six years
ago, language was too weak To elucidate the
repusive regard which existed between Jack
son and his followers, on the other. They are,
said Calhoun, "Rogues and Royali.ts--a party
kept together BY the cohesive force of public
plumber" And when Gen. Jackson wished TO
put the finishing touch upon a mans character,
he was in the habit Of exclaimng, "Sr, he's
one OF the greatest villains alive--almost as
great villain as John c. Calhoun!' and the
figure was caught up and echoed by every true
Jackson and Van Buren, loco ioco IN the land.
Yet this civilian" is seriously proposed by ma
ny of these same men, as candidate for The
Presidency.

eminent
!, Sylvanus Rapalie, Commissioner for the
Circuit Court oi the Southern District Of New
York DO hereby certify, That upon the Sew
idence Of criminaty in the matter of Chris
tiana Cochran, otherwise called Gilmour, char
ged with the crime of murder in Scotland - aud
after carefully considering the same, do decide,
that according To the laws of the place where
she was found and arrested, sufficient evidence
has been adduced TO Justify her apprehension
and commitment for trial.
SYLVANUS RAPALJE.
u. S. Commissioner.
The Courier g. Enquirer says :--Thomas
Warner, Esq. who has acted rs counsel for the
accused, and has conducted the case through
out with great zeal and. ability, excepted To the
decision OF the Commissioner, for the purpose
of reserving the rights Of the accused, in case
he should decide To make an appeal therelrom.
f. f. Maibury, Esq, on behalf of the Brit
ish Consul, moved that the prisoner be COM
mitled, and she was remanded to the custody
of The Marshal.
Mrs. Gilmour maintained throughout the
most perfect composure, and so far as external
appearances would serve 10 JUSTLY an OPINION,
il certainly seemed as if she was entirely I'M
conscious of The nature of the proceedings, the
consequences of which may prove so seruus to
her. She left the commissioners room in the
custody of the officer, her face wearing an I'M
meaning smile.
The Certificate, together with the record of
the evidence on which 1t is founded, were trans
mitted to Washington for approval.
The N. Y. Courier Of Saturday states that
"Thomas Warner, Esq. counsel for this unior-
tunaie woman, this morning sued out a writ of
habeas corpus, which was allowed nv the Re-
corder, and made relurnable ON Wednesday
next, at ] O'Clock A. M, at the Sessions
Court Room.
This writ is sued out on a petition of Mr..
Warner, setting forth the iliegaliily of the
whole proceedings, and the want OF authority
under the treaty, in Mr.. Rapalje 10 conduct the
proceedings, as United States Commissioner.
And further that there was no legal evidence
going To show either the murder, or The parli-
cipalinn in it, if indeed murder has been COM
mifted.
Mr.. Warner has also prepared a remon-
STRANGE, strongly condemning the whole pIo-
ceedings, which he intends fplwanding on
Monday TO the President of the United States. ,
