MEssRs EDIroRs IL am happy 10 inform you
that an order was, some ten days or two weeks
ago, sent to Mr.. WIN. B. Weller, Commissioner
for running the boundary line between the United
States and Mexico, recalling hun, and at the
same time Col Fremont was appointed IN his
place. and his commission transmitted to him,
in California, by Lieut.. Beale, special nessen-
ger.
This removal and appointment will command
universal appreciation, Tor no man Is better quail
fed foi the duties of that office, who should be
man of science, as well as energy and decision,
than Col. Fremont and Mr. Weller, though Il
very bitter and vtuperatlve politician nus no
prelensons whatever, either to science or litera'

1t will be recollecled that Mr.. Weller. who
was appointed within few days OF the close OF
Mr.. Folks administration, went immediately 10
Cine nnati, where he organized company TO at
tend him, of engineers, axe-nen, chain bearers,
&c. &c, fixing their pay himself, without the
least authority of the law. With these he pro-
ceeded towards The scene Of his labors, but had
not, at the last accounts from him, reached the
point where he was to commence his labors,
though he has drawn most Literally on the State
Department, and, as appears from his drafts, has
expended full two thirds OF the appropriation made
understand, have been protested for non payment,
his expenditures being altogether on too large a
scale, and not at all corresponding with his pro-
gress IN the performance oil his duties lie viii
now have all opportunity OF coMlns home and
settling up his accounts. 1t is to 5e hoped that
the whole corps taken out with him VIII be reor-
gan,zied, and II is very certain that u portion oil

any superior qualification for the place, and il

Time Eriended. The opportunity TOR taking
stock in the National Life Insurance Company
has been extended for a few days. As repeated
applications haye been made to us on this sub.
ject, we remark: that the system of Life lnsur-
ance has proved highly advantageous to the in
sured and profitable to the stockholders. In
England, it has been long tried and successfully
and in this country, various companies have
been established within the last ten years, and
we believe all have done well. This Company
has probably charter quite as favorable any
capital and good managers are only needed to
secure success. The men who ore competent
to furnish the first, ought to find no difficulty in
securing the last.

listened to the Declaration of Independence, &C.
cusing them of hypocrisy in bringing that great

of remark that the Patriots slavocratc brethren

ulighting curse OF Slavery.

We are tauntngIy told that by resisting the

sder that the time before the September elec-
tons short, that it will be difficult to give sea-
sonuble notice of the convention and afterward
have an efficient organization throughout the
State, in time for the election, and therefore
deem it inexpedent to call State Convention.
But believing that the democrarfare contending
for principles and not for men, and will cordially
support any ticket for state officers composed of
true democrats, who are honest, capable and
faithful to the Constitutional would recon-
mend nomination therefor nv the county com
ventions, and with that view they present to the
