ne COnVeMt1Ou a. NeH1 putSs
A preliminary meeting has been held
at Memphis to make arrangements for
a much larger meeting, and i. is now
proposed to call Convention Of Dele.
gates. who are to meet at Memphis on
the 4th of July next, TO take efficient
steps in the promotion of Western in
terests. All are aware of the niggardly
manner in which the west has been
treated by Congress. All know that
while millions have been literally ap.
propriated towards improving the har.
bors and keeping light houses in repair
on the Atlantic coast, it has been ex-
lremely difficult to obtain as many
hundreds to improve the lakes and riv-
ers in the west. But the time is near
when the balance Of power will be in
the hands Of those who reside in the
Valley of the Mississippi. All the
ives. has ever asked for is a fair share
Of governmental patronage, by which
she might develope her resources and
protect the property of her citizens
Blu. as yet she has not received 1.-THE
Of her share. When she has asked for
bread, she has received a stone. AS
all her enlreaties have been in vain, she
now proposes to pursue another meth
cd, and see what associated mind, and
definite oneness of purpose simullane-
ously put forth will accomplish in
effecsing the object and influencing
Congress to do her justice. Iowa is
called upon, as we'll as other jewellers
in the Valley, to have her Delegates
present on the occasion, and as we have
a deep interest at stake, aud as the
clearing cut of the Rapids may depend
upon it, we hope our citizens will lis.
ten TO the call, and see that they are
honorably represented at the Memphis
meeting.

have failed for once to show their

against the project of bringing an abun-
dant supply of good water into their

they have permitted the New York
ers TO beat them entirely. We pre-
snme the result was owing more to the
diversity of opinion in respect to the
source whence they should obtain their
water than from any thing else.

circumstances peculiarly distressing. The mother
had just placed pail filed with hot water upon the
floor, when the chid-oniy about two years Of age
coming in contact with the pail tumbled back
wards into its contents which instantly scalded almost
her whole person. The accident happened at about
l O'Clock A. NJ. The little sufferer fingered in tho
most dreadful agony until IL o'clock in the follow
ing evening, when she expired True Democrat.
FIRE. fire was discovered at the Oliveran vii.
age, in this town, on Friday morning last, ia the
ware house, belonging the Iron Foundry, of John
l.. Cook, which entirely destroyed the building and
its contents. When discovered the building was
completely enveloped in fame, which rendered il i'm.
possible to save any property in it, The building and
its contents insured in Hartford for twelve hun
dred dnllars,-loss estimated at about $1,000. True

ting naturalization. 1t is believed however, that the
investigation instituted by the Senate's COMMITTEE
will elicit most valuable information, such as cannot
fail 10 exercise sanitary influence on the next Con-
