eoeral Government to the Western and 'ou'uerh interests. Various convincing req sons not important to state, exist for this ePihlon. Assuredly 1t is time and inst that the Western and Southern people make hho"h tnelr sense of the neglect which their interests nave suffered from the Federal Go- H,efhment, and to insist that henceforward 1hey snail receive fair proportion of it's dis Dufsements as they have hitherto borne it's taxation
 ferhaps It may be proper to state, that the past Convention carefully avoided any party aspect or connexion, and that it is intended to exclude from the ensuing Convention, any proceeding not acceptable to either of the political parties of the country.
 The gentlemen composing the Committees. are requested to prepare or to arrange with their respective colleagues for the preparation oI the reports seycrally conided to their charge, and 10 procure from any persons not embraced on the committees, suitable reports or communications for the use of the Con. vention.
 1ehtlemen receiving this Circular are re- qaested 10 attend the Convention, and to en- Ploy proper means to procure the appoint ment and attendance of the delegates, and to enlist the interests and assistance of editors ot newspapers, and of men of ability and in- huenee, and of the people generally in their VIenliies to promote the objects of the Con- vention.
 Desiring 10 gather useful information, the Executive Committee will be pleased to re- celVe from gentleman by mail or otherwise, printed documents or original communica tons upon the subjects expected to be con sldered by the Convention, especially docu- ments showing the action of the Federal Go- vernment on the Valley of the Mississippi, the comparative national expenditures and taxation east and west of the AIleganes, the condition and progress of public works in the great Valley, whether of individual, state or national execution, and its products, com merce, navigation, and resources and neces- sites generally.
 The information already here, leads us to believe that the Convention in November, will he very large and mposng-and we earnestly reque t its friends to make use of the efforts essential to enable it to fulfil the important objects for which 1t is to assem- ble.

 highest recommendations as a ripe scholar and an experienced instructor of youth and this from some ot the most celebrated Professors and Dvnes of Belfast Royal College, Ireland and of the States Of New York and Virginia: We are now satisfied that these high recommendations did you no more than justice iorwe are witnesses that the youth un- der your care for the past year were not only united and happy but have never been so thoroughly and accurately taught before. We tender you our thanks for determining to settle permanently amongst us, and feel confident that it is only necessary for this fact to be made known to make your Academy one of the most celebrated of it's kind in all the south ern country. Be assured then, dear sir, that you have already won our highest commendations, and nothing on our part shall be wanting to cheer and sustain you for the future. Yours, very respecha Y, WILLIAM M.
