(the canal i~nterest) had not been able to obs
tain a bill from a standing committee. For
that reason, he (Mr. o. proposed that the
canal memorials should 60 TO a select COM
mittee. He would not now trouble the
House with any argument as to the merit Of
either; this was not the proper time for such
argument. All he asked land that he did
ask as a matter of common ~justice) was,
that, as the one interest had a bill in the
House, the other should be permitted to have
one also. If, when the bills came up, the
House decided in favor of the river bill, in
preference to the canal, so be it; the friends
of the canal would acquiesce, but they want
ed fair play. The gentleman from Illinois
MIR. McClernand] has said that the minori-
ty on the committee on Public Lands has
been suffered to make a report. That was
true. But the gentleman well knew that
no minority of a committee could report a
bill; and it was a bill, not a mere report, the
friends ofthe canal wanted. The only mode
in which they could obtain this, was through
a select committee; and that, he trusted,
would not be refused to them. -
On this motion Mr.. HUDsoN called for the
yeas and nays.
They were not ordered.
The vote being counted by the Speaker,
there were So yeas, and SO nays-not a
quorum.
Tellers were appointed, and having count
ed the votes, they reported III in the affirm
alive, and 40 in the negative.
The motion was agreed to.

FROM WASHINGTON.

The following account of present doing at
Washington, says the Baltimore Patriot, is
from one who is in a position 10 be well adj
vised of what is going on behind the scenes:
Mr.. Calhoun is beginning to provide for his
friends. | think you have mentioned that
Mr.. Cralle, who was the editor of the Mer-
chant-a paper which Duff Green attempt
ed to establish once in Balimore-has been
appointed TO the Office of Chief Clerk in the
State Department, in place ofMr. Derrick,
who goes down a peg. As this appointment
of Mr.. Cralle crowded off DIR. Martin, the
former chief Clerk-who is a Calhoun man,
and had good reason for supposing he would
be rostored-another place has been found
for him, and he was To-day nominated as
Secretary to the French mission. DR.. Mar
tin is a scholar, is an excellent writer, and
will be most acceptable, ! should suppose,
to Mr.. King in his mission to the Court of
ST. Cloud.
The Story that Robert Tyler was to be
appointed postmaster at Philadelphia is in,

port himself, and says he will stake nc. Office

There is 10 be ageneral 'hauling over the

see that Mr.. Curtis,of New York-whotnever
failed in his support of Tylerism, and who
therefore merits the fate that has overtakene
him-has been superseded-superseded ioe,
in a manner very offensive TO him, but in that
way which only John Tyler can strike down

house are to follow. The sword which has
hung over that house by a single hair, for a
long time, will be cut early in the coming
week--or the President will change his
mind.

eminent, shoulditrefuse its aid in erasing this
blistering stain from our national character?
We almost imagine we see our creditors,
"hors'd upon the sightless couriers of the
air" proclaiming the damning factt 10 every
quarter ofthe globe, that we hare the a
of paying our debt and uould not.
When we consider the immense impor-
lance it would be to the honor of the whole
Union, and the great moral effect it would
produce, were even one delinquent State
enabled TO assume the proud attitude of
standing before its creditors ~unabashed, we
should suppose that every member of Con-
gress would weigh all the vccant lands in the
country but as dust in the balance ;and would
not hesitate a moment in granting, if neces-
sary, even the whole un-entered lands in In
diana to accomplish an object that would ell
eVate US so much in the eyes of every good,
of every honest man. There should be no
half way measures in this matter-these
measures always miss their aim-let the
grant be such as will complete the work at
once, and we will then start forward in a ca
reer which we doubt not will lead to the
consummation of all we anticipate, and place
Indiana in a position of which her sister
States will have no cause to be ashamed
Every consideration that is dear to man, hon
or, honesty, love of country, love of poster
ity, our fair fame abroad, our position among
the nations of the earth, all, "like angels
trumpet tongued," demand that the Amer
lean name should cease TO be a bye-word
and a scoff Throughout the world.

We received by Monday nights mail a let
ter from our representative in Congress- an
nouncing that the Treaty annexing Texas
to the United States was on the 18th inst
signed by the President, and would be sub
mitted to the Senate as soon as the accom-
panying documents could be be prepared.
As regards the TERMS on which if is pro-
posed TO admit Texas into the Union, vari-
u rumors are afloat. says the Cincinnati
Gazette. The following seem TO be gener.
ally admitted: l
l. Assumption By the United States of the
debt Of Teras-while Texas is to keep her
lands TO herself!!!
2. The Incorporation of the Army and
Navy of Texas to that of the United States!!
3. Texas TO have Immediately two Re-
presentatives 1.-The House of Representa-
%tivesii!i
Most reasonable terms these! Modest
and appfepriate! We wonder where is the
man, or the press besides the Madisonian
which dares defend them. Why, when it
was proposed TO pay off the debts of the
States out ofthe proceeds ofthe public lands
the Locos, North and South, protested
against any such scheme, "as an open plum
dering" of the treasure of The county! Yet
when it is proposed to assume the debts
ofTexas, amounting 10 millions of dollars,
and TO let her keep her lands, they are silent
as the grave. What consistency What a
beautiful display ~ofprinciple! Can any por-
rion of the people be hoodwinked into the
support of such a scheme, or OF the men who
defend, or refuse to denounce it? It would
be equal to the folly of the farmer who sold
his pasture ground TO buy his horse.

GREAT VINO MEETING IN New YopK
There was a great Wing gathering in New
York, on the anniversary of the birth day of
HENRY CLAY. The spacious building in
which it was held was crowded in every
nook and corner,-and there for hours, the
heart of this immense assemblage, swayed
alternately by poetry, by music, and by elo-
quence in all its moods, beat high and strong
for Henry Clay.
1t wasa gathering such as a great cause, &
a great name, can clone bring and keep to-
gether, and is the sure prelude of victory.

SIX DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.

SIX DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
BY the arrival at New York of the packet
ship Sheridan, we have advices from Europe
six days later than those previously receiv-
ed.
The Grand Banquet, to be given at Con-
vent Garden Theatre, in honor of MIR. o.
Cornell, was TO come off on the 18th, and
the arrangements, it is said, were on a very
scale. =
On the 7th there was another meeting of
the Antf-Co League at Convent Garden
Theatre. The doors were opened shortly
after six O'Clock, and in fen minutes after
wards the building was crammed in every
part.
The Earl of ICELAND had been chosen
Grand Master of Masons OF the United Grand
Lodge of England.
The London Sun of the Sth thus men
tons the triumphant reception of Daniel
O'Connell in Birmingham, whittier he went
from London, to be present at a dinner tend
ed to him by the citizens of tina. town-
Enthusiastic as was Mr.. O'Connell's re-
ception by the people during his late visit
to the metropolis, it was equalled, if not sur
passed, by the welcome he received yester-
day, at Birmingham, all F~classes of whose
population We'd with each other in their en-
deavors 10 do him honor. No sooner did he
make his appearance in the Town Hall,
which was crammed to suffocation, than
shout after shout of acclamation arose from
the immense assembly; and it was full ten
minutes before anything like order could be
restored. The same enthusiastic applause
was repeated when the honorable and learn
ed gentlemen rose to speak, but no sooner
had the first few words dropped from his
lips, than the most profound silence prevail
ed, and he was listened TO, throughout his
animated appeal on behalf of Ireland, with
a respectful attention that must have been
more flattering to his feelings than even the
deafening storm of appreciation with which
he had been previously greeted. His speech
was we'll worthy of this marked and signif-
cant attention, for though by no means de-
fcicient in vigor, where vigor was requisite,
it characteristics were its moderatlon-its
manly unaffected candor-its firm, but cor
teous and conciliatory tone-and, above all.
its force, clearness and precision of argu-
ment. There was no display of rhetorical ar
tifce-no attempt at exaggeration-the rea-
soning was in no instance pushed beyond
the limits of good sense-nothing was omit
ted that was necessary TO make out a strong
case of Irish m-isgovernment by the Tories
and the consequence of uniform harmony
and evennes of tone was, that the speaker
made as many prosclytes to the cause of his
country, as there were listeners in the Hall.n
The same paper adds:-We hear from the
very best authority that the members of the
late Administration are deeply interested in,
and delight at, the success of the O'Cohnel
dinner, to take place at Convent Garden
Theatre on Tuesday next. aai'a9

Ii IS proper to remark, that If the history
of the past be any guide by which TO Judge
of the future, the increase of population in
Wisconsin will be more rapid after our adj
mission into the Union than previous TO that
period; this has been true of all the new
states, as is clearly proven by reference to
the statistics of their population. This in
flux of immigration doubtless arises from the
belief that the laws are more stable, and that
property is more secure in states than in a
territory.
If, then, it be true that Wisconsin, two
years hence. might come into the Union with
greater number of inhabitants thln mllo-
iitv, if not all. the new states which have pre-
&c led her, what valid reason can be assign
ed for our remaining in the dependant atti-
tude of a territory? As TO our right TO form
a state government with the number of inha-
bitants prescribed in the ordnance of 1881,
il has been conceded by The most enlighten-
ed statesmen and jurists in the Union, and
therefore needs not 10 be argued by your

NCNBER OF PERSONS-1HE DOMAIN.
The proper number of persons for an
Association is eighteen hundred, composed
OF both sexes and different ages, or about
three hundred families. An association on
reduced scale could be formed with five
hundred TO six hundred persons or one
hundred families. Va iety Of tastes,
talents, capacities, characters, and of for
tune, is essential, for social Harmony is
based on variety in these elements, not on
uniformity or monotonous equality. Let

cuns,ances which would attend three humid

fences around the boundary OF the Domain,
