A HAYTlES REPUBLIc IN THE UNITED STATES
Any one who is in the habit of watching the
proceedings and dongs of that saplent body of le-
gIslators, called the Congress Of the United States,
cannot but think that it is funny affair all
through and that there are some remarkably
funny chaps in it. The other day, one of these
funny chaps got up IN his seat-hs heart doubtless
OVERLOOKING with philanthropy, and his breast
heaving with kindly emotions towards the people
OF color, and no doubt with an air of importance
which some men assume when they wish to de-
liver themselves OF something very good-and
made motion that the rules be suspended, IN
order that he might offer resolution, insiructing
the Committee on Territories to inquire into the
expediency of appropriaiing territory or State for
the occupation of the black population of the
United States. Whether the gentleman who
made this motion Immediately tainted or not. re-
pert does not say; but we think from the fact that
some attention was paid to dim, that he was in a
position Of danger, perhaps having burst of his
strap buttons. The resolutI n was promptly and
decidedly negatived; and les the gentleman might
conceive himself sighted, 81 ieen members voted
for IT, as much out of fun as any thing else.
This Is certainly the newest dodge yet Only
think OF establishing little Haytisn republic in
the centre of the United States, and only imagine
what nice state OF things il would produce in
few years In introducing the subject we give the
gentleman credit for philanthropy; but even chart
iably disposed as we towards the whole world
we cannot extend our mpaihy SO FAR az to say he
possesses much common sense

Poik's administration Is secretly negotiating with
Spain for the anne Ration OF Cuba, with view of
enncxmg il 10 the slave States, and of strengthen
log The institution of slavery the South, and Ill
tmaely, perhaps, of re-esablihing II in other por-
tons Of the West Indies. All these matters may
be conjecture; but there can be no conjecture,
and no doubt, and no hesitation, IN the present
momentous crisis which this question has assum-
ed in the country, and The responsibility of which
the committee in the Senate have endeavored TO
throw on The Judges of the Supreme Court, instead
of maniully and boldly deciding on the matter
themselves.
This question is only In its inception. 1t will
agitae the whole country, and may change the
face OF the political factions and parties, TO much
greater extent than any one can now tell.

IRISH MEETING IN MoNTREAL.--The following
notice Of an lrlsh meeting lately held in Montreal,
IL given in the Herald Of that city tue 18th July
On sunday the streets pacarded with bills calm
a meeting Of lrishmen to promote the independence
Of Ireland, and filled with exhortations TO now or
pever,n :" not to be afraid' &C. The meeting ad
vertised to be held in Bonsecours Market but we
learn that his Worship the Mayor very properly de-
clined TO lend the building for such q purpose Ger
tainly the impudencc of these people is something
extraordinary Two or three individuals, comprising
all that is dreputable in the ct, got upa meeting to
threaten on the whole province, and they modcsty
demand the Market Hall the theatre their

The meeting accordingly held in the Hay Market

HE PRESENT COMMON CoUNCiT--WHERE ARR:
They I'VE have anxiously looked for those great
reforms in the city government which were so
faithfully promised upon the installation of the
present Common Council; but as vet there Is as
good n prospect of camel passing through the eye
OF needle. The same eXravagant practices are
pursued; and we are inclined to think the demands
upon the treasury OF the city will be heavier this
year than they have ever been before
1t was cause of general and Just complaint
among the tax payers, that the late Corporation
were prodgal with the peoples money, and a
change was wrought that the immense burdens
mightbe partially, if not wholly, removed-at leas
the superHuous burdens.
Since the present Corporation have had the
power in their hands, we have carefully watched
their progress; and thus far not salutary measure
has been effected save that which tended to the
determination of the dogs which infested the city.
There have been several important measures of
reform and retrenchment proposed, but they all
failed Of success. A most beneficial one was pro-
posed, viz. THAT of cleaning the streets by con-
tract and to which they each and all agreed,
until called to vote upon the question. There was
then difficulty as to the particular mode of con-
tracing, and after various and ridiculous dis.
cussions the subject was consigned to oblivion.
1t was clearly shown, and admitted, that saving,
from that source alone, of more than one hundred
thousand dollars, could be effected; but that was
not sufficient to bring about its adoption. On
Wednesday evening last there were appropriations
to the amount Of Sl3,l4l II made by the Board Of
Education, which must be sanctioned by the Com
mon Council and this is the work of but one
meeting, almost every meeting being of like cha
racter.
Their very first action was one Of foolish ex-
travagance--a costly dinner at BIrnham's; and
since that time the feasting has been kept up,
without regard TO thoIe upon whom the burden of
the expense rests. We hope that they may be-
think themselves, and, in their career of cxtrava-
gancc, adopt that saluiary maxim, ks,,na bnte
one which will be sure to tell In after times, how
proper and iudcious action, with a true regard to
the interests of the city, is appreciated by dis
cemlng and calculating community

THE success Of the Illustrated Botany is no
longer an experiment For although it has been in
eNisaEce but one year, il already has circulation
of about five thousand, sufficient number TO
warrant its support, which cannot be said Of any
other work OF the kind. Indeed, it is the only
work Of this character published in this coun-
try. which promises stability and long life. We
think the prospect Of the second year of this
Botany arc very la,tering. O::e reason for the
opinion is, the fact that it is now very popular,
having large circle of friends. Another very
important reason is, the securing Of an Editor for
the coming year. whose popularity as an author
in the various branches CT Natural Science, is so
extensive as TO leave his name familiar 10 evry stu.
dent in the science in this country. We are full
ly satisfied l.at the Botany will, under the pres
ent Editors, bear the scverest criticisms, and We
intend il sha'! become tie standard work.
In the course o! disqualification, 1t will contain
an Introduction 10 the Natural system of Botany,
a thorough Treatise on the interesting and ilnpor-
tant branch Of Vegetable Physiology, Notices on
focil Botany and Inscriptions, both acicntiic and
popular, OF numerous species OF plants, the pro-
perties Of which. medicinal ard useful, will bs
fully explained. In short it is intended TO present

prietsrs, under the firm of PALMER s. PAUL.
The REPORTER viii, as heretofore, be mainly de-
voted to the PRONUNCIATION Of sound Democratic doc
trines and the advocacy of corresponding measures
of State and National policy. These measures
though egitimat2ly resulting from nevcr-changing,
immutable princirles-we believe should still be, as
they ever have been, PROGRESSIVE in their charac-
ter having for their ultimate object the equalization
both of the benefits and burthens Of government
We can conceive no means more likely to hasten
the accomplishment of these grand objects, than
through vigorous support of the enlightened, just
and LIBERAL Free Trade, Hard-money and other lead
ing measures of policy advocated by the great Dem
ocratc party. AS long party shall adhere to
and enforce these, and principles and SIM
liar III their character and tendency, long do we
expect to stand by it, and longer. Furthermore,
we consider ourselves pledged to e support of in
dividual members of our party-h!ousht out in con-
formity to its established customs, for stations of
honor or protit-only long they truly reject its
principles and show disposition to carry out lis
measures and conform to its established usagcs.
The vital importance to our party, especially al Ike
present crisis, of straight forward, fearless ard
efficient champion of its cause and exponent of its
principles at the seat of State government, Eius
are persuaded, be too well understood and anprcci-
ated to require any thing than 4 bare eusion
to it on this occasion. We now on he CT q
State and Presidential election in both OF which
the Democracy OF iowa win, besides deciding upon
various other subjects Of vast Importance to as
people, be called upon to stand By and support the
government in the measures which it has so vigor-
ously adopted and successfully carried into execu
ton, for sustaining The honor Of the country against
its enemies abroad aided and ccmcrtcd by inglori-
Gus, lilly disguised and traitrous Iartizans at home.
We believe that we shall not be disappointed in
our expectations that the warm hearted Democracy
Of Iowa will evincc their appreciation of the consid-
erations here presented by their efficient aid and
support.
While the above viii bc TIC leading objects for
which we shall labor, the REPORTER will devote it
self with what CT energy its conductors bring to
the task, to the advocacy of such measures of
