A STRIKING THO uemr.-We were forcibly struck
with remark made by a friend a short time ago.
In the Of an evening STROLL attained the
summit of one of the beautiful hills which surround
our tcwn, from which position our attention was
naturally attracted by the vast pile of buildings
which compose the" Wesiern Asylum" There"
said he, sis lasting monument Vi Pirg'nla's policy
she does every thing by p'ece-meal" How
forcible and truthful the remark! If the immense
amount Of money expended in the construction of
the various buildings forming, as it is, most mag
niicent whole, had not been appropriated in drib-
lets, what splendid specimen of architectural beau
ty and grandeur might have occupied the ground.
We hope and believe, however, that our old Mo

with the Nicholson letter. were pronounced
cvasive and desultory. III reference to the
latter, there never existed shadow Of doubt
in our mind as TO its sincerity-and we now
have spread before us document, which
stamps the author at once as being true and
warm friend OF Southern Rights and the
Union atlarge. The appearance Of the let
letter at this peculiar crisis. when the recu.
sancy of Van Buren, Benton and Houston
stares the South full in the face, must prove
grateful to The feelings of those who stood his
firm friends, and must cause self-reproach in
the ranks of the deserters, the so-styled Tdy.
Tor Democrats. Even at this early period of
Taylor administration, we doubt not there are
few who would not gladly SEQ him presiding
over our national dcstinies. The South must
learn wholesome lesson from this-neycr
TO desert her f1ag-to take care Of herself and
thus induce the cooperation Of her Northern
friends. Sclf-interest never dictated General
Cass' letter, for he can gain nothing from it
as candidate for the Presidency, and his
most invctcrate enemy must admire his firm.

Canada, at no distant day would either be

are nations Of distinct races. Canada has
not advanced for half century, has a

nearly equally divided, catholic and pros

The Canadians will speak no English,
and the English will not speak French
If they can avoid it. The Canadians
wish TO have government Of their own,
and no attachment 10 The United States !;
and the English party only threaten an.
nexa,ion as the means of keeping down
the French. As long as the Canadians
have their religion, their seignorial rights,
their parishpriests and indolen, privileges
they want no change. England may
make some concessions. but will not per-

Union among Democrats.


Although there arc buslling movements,
ncgo' ia,ions, and propositions for Union
Of the Democracy in tho state of New
York, we have no belief,hut any Union
on principle can be arranged. The
Free soil men seem determined 10 bring
the other section TO OH adoption Of their
new doctrine, and they will not again
come under the lead Of VAN buren, and
his friends, and wi,hou, that concession
the Free.soilers will continue their oppo
silion. Still the rank and file on both
sides may come together TO carry tho 10.
cal elections and they may succeed, mas
much as the Wings are equally divided !;
but on the questions Of national elections,
any union appears TO have remote
bearing The Free -soilcrs are violently
assailing Gen, TAYLOR not ON account,
of removal from office, but from an appre
hcnsion that he will not sustain their at
tacks on the South Nor can we see how
1t is possible for him, Southern man, and
elected by Southern Democratic votes to
mingle with and sustain The abolitionis,s
of the North, The Wings are satisfied
with the possession Of the Offices, and we
think they will be destined to disappoint.
mcnt in any hope tha, Gen. TAYLOR will
go against the South by signing any bill
which shall distinctly violulc our cons,i,u.
tiona rights.
Since the above was penned we learn
that the Democratic party has, through its
rammany Hall General Committee, re.
fused to coalcscc with The Barnburners
founded on the proposal of the latter tc
recognize The Free Soil doctrine. They
adhere 10 the old principles, which were
endorsed by Is States, and intend tc
occupy no other platform.

The sands have nearly from the hourglass, and
but day remains OF the present session of Congress
Will IL O'Clock TO night find the hopes of the country
confirmed the prayers of California satisfied, and tran
quilty restored 10 the Union, by the adoption of Mr.
Walkers amendment providing efficient organization
for the government Of newly acquired territories
Or, is Congress to adjourn without doing anything We
cannot anticipate the result with any precision, but
cannot help entertaining strong hopes of happy denoue
ment.
When left the Capitol last night at 10 o'clock, the
crisis rapidly approaching. The House of Repre-
senatves had rejected, before the recess, proposition
to attach the Wilmot Provso to the amendment, by a
vote of 96 10 50. The struggle, however had to come
on in the House. and there the amendment was rejected
by vote Of about la 10 100. The bill TO be
turned to the Senate Would they insist! Would a
committee of conference take place between the Two
houses' Would the House of Representatives recede
from their opposition to the amendment? These are
questions which we must leave TO a very brief
time to settle. Yet may be excused for making
least brief and respectful appeal to Congress give
government 10 California, and tranquility TO
mon country We leave the question TO those who have
only the authority to settle ito the representatives OF
the States and of the people in Congress assembled.
