by the present convention, and therefore provoking

advantage can be gained by giving the notice. let j,
be stated.
4th. That it has been fully admitted by Great
Britain that, whether under or without convention
the United States have the same rights as herself
to trade, to navigate and to occupy and make set
dement's in and over every part of the territory
and that if this state Of things be not not disturbed
natural causes must necessarily give the whole ter
tory to the United States.
Under these circumstances, il is only asked, that
the subject may be postponed for The present that
Government should not commit itself by any pre
mature act declaration that, instead of increas
ing the irritation and excitement which exist on
both sides, time be given for mutual reflection. and
for the subdual or subsistence of angry and violent
feelings. Then, and then only, can the deliberate
opinion of the American people on this momentous
question be truly ascertained 1t is not perceived
how the postponement for the present and for
time can, in any shape or in the slightest degree,
injure the United States.
It is certainly true that England is very powerful,
and has often abused her power, in no case in more
outrageous manner than by the impressment Of sea-
men, whether American, English, or other foreign
ers, sailing under and protected by the American
flag. am not aware that there has ever been any
powerful nation, even in modern times, and profess
sing Christianity, which has not occasionally abused
its power. The United States, who always APP

country. This regiment will be ready before the
War Department are ready to send them 10 the
scene designed for them--probably within two
weeks from the present time. Volunteers have
been accepted from Albany, from Blth in Steuben
Co, from Norwich, in Conn.,, from the city of New
York. and from other quarters.
The Department of War will send them by sea,
from the city of New York. The regiment will
probably be nearly fnll-l0 companies, of 100 men
each-the companies to choose the officers, and
the officers TO choose the colonel, who, it is under
stood, will be Jonathan d. Stevenson, of New York.
Mr. S. is now in the city.
The conquest Of California is only in part the
design of the Administration. A proposition has
been submitted and seriously considered by the
Administration, having in contemplation the con.
quest of the entire Mexican country beyond the
line Of Tampico--or from Tampico on the Gulf of
Mexico west to the Pacific. In other words, the
Government Of the United States seriously designs
the conquest and possession of the entire country
of old California, all the land ON both sides of the
Gulf Of California, and The entire provinces of San
Luis Potosi, New Leon, chihuahua, Tamaulipas,
Durango Coahuilo, Sonora, and part of Zacatecus,
GuadaloXara and Jalisco!
The California Regiment is to be butthc pioneers
to tins conquest. 1t seems morally impossible that
the administration should entertain this design, but
so it is and is further contemplated, not seriously
! can hardly think, TO submit the offer to Mexico
herself, as measure of arbitration. However
monstrous the design, the administration are clpn

OF the intentions of the administration, though
many here who think better of the Executive and
his advisers than do would think it impossible
that such purpose could be seriously entertained.

Mr.. EDITOR A spirited discussion arose few
days since in this village at meeting OF the Coun
ty Temperance Society, upon the grammatical con-
srUctlon of resolution introduced by committee.
The resolution was as follows:
" RESOLVED, That in view of the fact that the
frcemen OF this county have declared by their suf-
rages, that is not their will that licenses should
be granted, for the sale of intoxicating drinks with
in the bounds OF the county, Except as by law ex-
cepted) we look upon the attempt Of any indvidu-
ais TO resist that will, by the unlawful sale of such
intoxicating drinks, as ungenerous and wrong and
should secure the dsapprobation of every law abb
ding citizen"
The objection to the resolution was IN respect
to the construction of the last part of the resolu-
ton. find should secure The diSapprobqiion of cue
~ ial0-abiding citizen" This last clause was de-
cared positively, and earnestly, by one or two
gentlemen, to be ungrammacal, standing as it did
in connection with the preceding words, "ungcn-
orous and wrong"
On the other hand it was held that the construc-
ton was strictly gramm,tical; and that opinion
was founded on the following principles. Every
simple sentence must have Il subject, an attribute
and an object. Or in other words, 1t must have
one finite verb, a nomlnatlve case to the verb eX-
pressed or understood, and predicate.
1t maintained that the declaration, We
look upen the attempt of any individuals to resist
that will, by the unlawful sale Of such intoxicating
drinks as ungenerous and wrong" was one sen
tence, expressing an opinion OF the character OF
such attempt. 1t was also maintained that the
words, "shoud secure the disapprobaton of every
law abiding CITIZEN" constituted an other sentence
expressing an opinion, how we ought to feel toward
such an attempt This sentence having for its
nominative case, IT. understood, is connected witt
the previous sentence by the conjunction and
That part OF the resolution would then read ave
look upon the attempt of any individuals to resst
that will, by the unlawful sale of such intoxicating
drinks, as ungenerous and wrong and u, or suci
attempt being understood) should secure the dsap
probation Of every -y-abiding citizen"
1t is not conended, but for the haste in which
the resolution was drawn, it might have been IN lrC
elegantly expressed, but it is believed to be strictly
grammatical in its construction G..
