MISSION TO LONDON.

We congratulate the country on tn
appointment of LOUIS McLane, as Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Penipo,enta-
ry to London. He has been invited to
the public service without the slightest
solicitation on his part. lie has been for
several years in retirement, if the sue
cesslul management Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad company, as president OF
that institution can be considered retire
ment First, as a member of the House
o! Representatives, then, as minister to
England, Secretary of the Treasury, and
Secretary Of the State, and as minister to
London, he has earned a name as a states
man and patriot, of which his country
my be justly proud. He seems eminenily
calculated to meet the present crisis be-
tween the two countries. This able and
experienced gentleman accepts the Office
of minister at the mos, distinguished court
in the world, at one of the most,evenliuI cri-
sis which could occur in the relations be-
tween the two countries, and when the
most important interests Of his own nation
are involved in the issue. He carries
with him TO the court of ST. james great
talents, extended experience, particularly
at that court where he formerly represent
ed the interests Of the United States with
great distinction. Prudent, firm, and sa-
gaclous. he will assert and maintain the
rights of his own country, without violating
the respect which is due to the British
government. He is orthodox on the great
questions which now divide the country;
aud in none more so than on the impor-
tant questions of Texas and Oregon.
We understand that Mr. McLane will
probably leave the United States as early
as by the steamer oflhe 18th July
Washington Union.

VESTED RIGHTS.

About 40 years ago the State Of Con.
nec,icut by lis Legislature chartered a
Bridge Company, to erect Bridge with
n draw 30 feet in width supposed suGi-
cently WIDE for any class Of vessels for
public convenience. The people of late
demanded of their Government for their
benefit, that the Bridge Co. should enlarge
the draw to 50 feet wide. The Legislature
obGyed the will Of the people, but Gov.
Baldwin vetoed the law on the ground that
it was an invasion Of the vested rights OF
the company. But Notwithstanding the
veto, the Legislature passed the law by a
constitutional majority and the Bridge
company find themselves compelled TO do
the peoples will. The company on taking
counsel learned that legislature could
not bind its successors so as to restrict
the influence Of succeeding legislatures.
That grant to company for the benefit:
Of the public, would ever be subject to the
revision Of future Legislatures should the
public good require it, and the people
would ever be the judges Of the propriety
Of the advantage claimed The doctrine
that a Legislature can confer charter upon
corporation that subsequent Legislature
cannot modify alter or repeal has the sup.
port of but few enlightened jurlsts. y

The convention was rather dull. We
looked in upon the vast assembly, (not
so many people this year as there were
last, we are told) about P. M. Judge
Collamer, to the evident delectation OF
the mass was endeavoring to coax one OF
his hobby-horses into something like a re-
spectacle movement.-About half Of the
auditory sat straight up, and with their
hands folded and legs crossed looked at
the tolllng speaker as though they really
understood what he was up to, while
now-and'then an approving smile fol-
lowed by a patronizing nod, gave him tc
understand as plainly as smile and nod
could, that he had hit the hobby on the
raw that time, and that the obstinate
donkey must begin to move in few mo-
ments. A large portion of the other hall
had fallen asleep and in the peaceful arms
of Morpheus, had ceased to be disturbed
by visions Of a "runed country" and an
eSflunctlfied Tariff, while the remainder,
crowded to the very last step of resistance
by the somnilerous Deity, and still wishing
not fairly and openly TO "sleep in meet
ing" sat winking like toads in a thunder
storm, having vague consciousness that
something astonishing was going on,
though they were unable to make out
precisely what.

THE COON STATE CONVENTION

THE COON STATE CONVENTION
This august body of whipped patriots
and bruised heroes assembled a, the CAPT
tai on the I'd instant. We should Judge
from the looks of the proceedings thai
there were not over fifty thousand present
there were enough, however to transact
the business, such as it was.
Hon. Erastus Fairbanks, presided-Geo
W. Grandy, and James r. Spaulding act
ing as Secretaries.
The committee on nominations report
ed the old ticktt-viz: William Sladc for
Gov, Horace Eaton for 1t. Gov. and
John SpauIding for Treasurer.
Mr. Grandy, from the committee on res
olutons reported some half dozen over
which one knows hardly whether to laugh
or look sober. Hear this one!
Resolved That the joint resolutions
passed by the Congress OF the U, S, at it.
last session, providing for the annexation
Of Texas to the Union, are paIpable vio-
ation of the Federal Constitution AND ARE
NOT BINDING UPON THE COUNTRY, and
should meet the continued and united OPP
position Of the Wing party throughout the
Union.
There's notification for you! However,
before we could indct a serious sentence
in relation to this part of the Resolution
our eye had fallen upon the latter part and
we found ourselves laughing heartily at the
idea of the efficacy Of ~hig opposition!-
How suddenly measure must go down, tc
be sure, if the great wing party lay its
hand on it! To have the wing party oppos
ed to anything, these days, is dlslressingly
fatal.
The Resolutions repeat,he same old stale
nonsense about the Tariff that has com
posed the bone and snew of whig Resolu.
tons aud whlg speeches in Vermont for
the last quarter of century, all conched
in language whose solar eGulgcnco "is
death"on common visions We should Judge
from the drift Of the Resolutions that the
coons intend to feed up their old nag, the
Tariff, and put her over the course again
this fall. Well, 90 ahead, gentlemen in
your own style. Slade will ride anything
you tell him to-he knows how.

the highly gifted late President of the Mer-
Ger University, Ca.
"MR. ALDEN s. BAYLRY was a member Of
College with myself, and sustained distinguish
ed rank in his class, both MS scholar and a gem
tleman. His character as an Instructor in dis
dnguished Academies in New York and Georgia,
has been well known to me; and his high lite
rary attachments, combined with strict atten-
ton, untiring perseverance, and peculiarly
happy mode OF communicating knowledge, have
placed his schools among the irst in our coun-
try. As an Instructor, Mr. Bayey is believed
TO have few, if any superiors. With Mr.. Bay
ley's scientific and literary attachments, have
been intimate for many years: they are beev-
ed to be Of the highest order, and have secured
10 him deseredly high rank among the ltera-
ry men Of our State and country His &C.

City Of Washington, a daily, semi.

publican paper, to be entitled
THE UNITED STATES JOURNAL.
DIX JESSE Il. DOW co.


The first number OF our new paper will
be issued on The first day Of May next
with an entire new dress--new type, fine
white paper, with other important altera.
tons and improvements. The paper will
be devoted to fearless exposition of De.
mocratc principles; it will zealously and
unremiliingly oppose each and every eff
fort 10 establish mammoth monarchy
bank and other mischievous corporations
and consultations of wealth, which sub
vert the rights of the people and under
mine the pliers of the Republic; it will
oppose an oppressive and anti-republican
tariff system, the assumption of the State
debts by the General Government, and all
other federal principles which have an in
eyitable tendency to destroy public pros
perity as well as individual happiness. -
Against all such political delusions, we
shall wage unchangng, Incorporating
war.
The FARMER and the MECHANIC who
produce all the real capital of the nation,
will find in our paper an unwaverlng
champion of their palienable rights; the
long cherished principles Of the editors are
too well known to the public to require
any pledge upon this point. To the Mis-
cellaneous Department particular attention
will be devoted; the Ladies will always
find in our columns a choice selection from
the current literature Of the day, as well
as original contributions from the most
talented writer's of which our country can
boast. A general summary of Foreign
and Domestic news will be furnished.
The conductors have already secured
the aid and cooperation Of large num-
Der of the most distinguished literary and
political writer's of the day; arrangements
will also be made, at the earliest period
possible, to embellish our columns by the
contributions Of correspondents from a.
broad. With this brief and imperfect out
line of our plan, we very respectfully sub
nit our claims 10 an extensive patronage
TO the consideration Of generous public.
