Thus, whether rightly or wrongly, it Is in
contestihle that a great majority of those among
lis who think independently, are looking forward
to annexation, as the relief from many of our
political difficulties and the high road to prospe-
rity. Men who have differed most widely, and
who perhaps will continue to differ on all other
questions, even after annexation shall have taken
place, agree at this moment in desiring annexa.
ton as the most advantageous movement we can
adopt. But while the feeling for annexation is
strong, there is as strong desire that nothing
should be done by violence; and that if England
will cast off her children, they may yet never be
found id arms against her. Hence the impor
lance of the question: win the British govern
ment oppose annexation?

CANADA ANNEXATION

The Montreal Herald, one of the ablest of the
Tory provincial journals, has strong article in
favor of separation from England and annexation
to the United States. 1t says:
"All this cannot be denied: nor is it less true
that large majority in this country regard the
promotion of their material interests as identical
with the speedy progress of annexation to the
United States. This measure, they say, would
give the Americans the free use of our
river, so that our wharves would be crowded
with their craft; while it would, at the same
time, afford our ship-owners reciprocal advantages
in American waters, without the delay, and the
conditions, and uncertainty of long drawn out
diplomacy and nicely balanced treaties, made on
our side by negotiators from Great Britain, I'M
acquainted with the geography of the country or
the trade of the people.
"This measure would give an interest in our
undertakings to American capitalists, who may
see and Judge for themselves at the end of two
days voyage from the principal seats of none
tary operations, and so release US from weary
attendance upon British spectators, ignorant of
our resources and incredulous as to our good
faith 1t would increase the facilities and the
objects of that trade with the far west, which is
Just opening; it would secure to US permanently
all the good hoped from the reciprocity laws,

protectionists since it would remove the barriers
to our commerce with our neighbors, while 1t

ANOTHER LETTER FROM KOozER

Henderson, of New Diggngs, we have another
long letter from him, portion of which we shall

said, that we consider the letters which have
been written by him as the most interesting and
quite as reliable as any from California.

THE CALL FOR A UNION STATE CON-
VENTIf5N

The annexed proceedings and call for a Union
Democratic State Convention, by the Free Dem
ocra,ic State Central Committee, at their NEE
ting of Friday, July 9Th, is the result of mature
deliberation, after general correspondence and
personal conference, both with leading Free Soil
men, and with leading members Of the Demo-
cratic party, in different sections of the State,
who are DESTROYS of union on right principles
As matter of compromise, the time of holding
the Union Convention has been changed from the
9th to the 18th of September. 1t is hoped that
the 5th of September Convention, called by the
Madison Committee in opposition to the Union,
and to the expressed wishes of nine-tenths of the
party, will be abandoned, and that all In favor of
union on the principles of the Union Call, will
send up their delegates to the Convention which
assemblies on the 7th of September. In Wau-
kesha county the party is already united, and re-
pudates the action of the Madison Committee,
and will send their delegates to the Union Con-
4enti6n. That county will give united voice
of over 1000 votes for the candidates of the I'M
ion Convention. Racine county will do still
more And the movement is commencing in
other counties Now let the friends of union on
these true Democratic principles, in the several
counties, get up call for Union County Con-
venton appoint their delegates and instruct them
to attend the Union Democratic State Conven-
ton, on the seuenth OF September, and the union
which the great body of the people desire and
demand. cannot be prevented Let the people
lead in this matter. Rest assured, that those
politicians who oppose this final overture for I'M
ion, and still insist on the 9th of September Com
vention, have personal objects in view, and are
more anxious for personal promotion than
for the triumph of principle. Shall the interests
of the true Democracy, and the wishes of a
great majority of the Democratic party, be sacri-
feed to the ambition of few? Let those who
wish to promote division and strife, attend the
Disunion Convention of the fifth; but let all who
are for Cancellation, union, and harmony, be rep
resented in the Union Convention of the seventh
of September, and the divisions of the Democra-
tic party will be healed, and the victory of its
principles, and the election of its candidates, will

ton of James R. Vineyard to our Legislature,
says; "There is but one party in the state or
country which would be at allhkely to select such
candidate for popular suffrage" If Greeley
designed that for hit at the Democracy, we will
inform him that while Vineyard himself has no
particular politics, he has always been elected
from strong Whig county and by Wing con.

correspondent Of an exchange, in reviewing the
sermon in advocacy of capital punishment, by a
divine, denies entirely the authenticity of that
passage Of scripture which reads "Whoso she'd
deth mans Blood By man shall his blood be she'd "
He has examined the early copies of the scrip
tures and investigated all the authorities on the
subject, and shows that the words "by man,

in the original. The original, he says, reads
Whatsoever sheddeth mans blood, its blood
shall be she'd" The Interpolation was by the
church authorities during the reign of james II,
and was probably done to trump up authority to
justify murder.

III The Wisconsin Democrat has made the
discovery that because Mr.. Isaac P. Walker was
not elected senaor on the day prescribed by a
previous legislature, therefore he was not elected
at all. This is a remarkable discovery, and the
only cause for regret it furnishes is that it is
not we'll founded. The previous legislature had
no right to dictate to their successors that they
should do a particular act on particular day.
The legislature, whose duty it was to choose a
senator, were fully competent themselves to
select the day on which it should be done, and
their predecessors the had same authority to
choose the senator, as to dictate to them tohen or
hotc they should do it. No law of one Legislature.
seeking to regulate the action or internal policy
of another, can be anything more than recon-
mandatory or advisory, for the simple reason that
one body has precisely the same power to re-
fuse to comply that the other has to dictate; and
any such documentary Legislation must de-
pend entirely on its reasonableness for its force
| Now there is no reason for one Legislature pre-
scribing to another on what particular day il
shall perform any particular duty-in the first
place because it is none of its business, and il
the second place, because it cannot know whe
Their the day it prescrbes IS the 2est for the pur
pose, or can by any possibility be used for the
purpose The last Legislature disregarded the
commands of their predecessors, and made the
election as they had perfect right to do, at thei
own good time, and if Mr.. Walkers seat is, no
vacated until done for the reason suggested by
the Democrat, he is good for six years TO say

pGen. Taylor has recommended By procla-
nation, that the first Friday of August be obser-
we'd as day of prayer and fasting, to avert the
ravages of the cholera. Those who have faith
in the efficacy of prayer we trust will heed this
recommendation, but none we hope, will so far
forget the dictates Of common sense, as to starve
themselves, by fasting twenty-four hours. No
more effectual mode of encouraging the ravages
of the pestilence could be devised.
