ALL IN THE WRoNe.- Diplomacy nevef
was more completely muddled than in the
hands Of Mr.. Clayton. The genius of
confusion seems to preside over all his en-.
terprises. He cannot take step without
treadng on his own or somebody else's
heels. And while he has the faculty in
perfection of blunderng into difficulties, he
is altogether without that governing good
look that helps some people to blunder out
of them. Why is all the world buzzing
angrily ABOUT the Secretary of State!-
Even Billy Bowlegs could not stand his
rule; the Camanctes, for the first time,
brave The United States; France could not
even discuss question Of tobacco and sal.
wage on a little merchant vessel with him,
but there must be talk of war, and stocks
go down FIVE per cent. 1t were we'll if
this were the end, but it is only the begin
ming of the end. The Chilian minister
has been put out of temper; and they say
that, too, is grave matter. Besides the
King of the Mosquitoes have been lec,ured
about the navigation of the San Juan river;
and Great Britain as patron, has taken up
the matter in high key which makes this
perhaps the very worst ofall Mr.. Clayton's
affairs. All this in six months!-CA Charles

The Wings and the Convention Vste.

The sarant editor Of the Portage Coun-
ty WAig evidently feels mortified at the
uncomfortable position it is compelled to oc-
cupy, Of having opposed the calling Of al
Convention to amend the Constitution. but
it is the notification felt by the apprshend-
ed and condemned criminal. He tells his
readers, in his last issue that he is in favor
of convention, and attempts to convey the
impression that he has discharged his whole
duty in reference to that measure. Yes, he
tells us that he is Gin favor of free and
untrammelled vote by the People on that,
and all other questions" 'Untrammeled!
Yes, SO anxious was he that the vote upon
this question should be 'untrammeled,' that
he did not even venture to embarrass 1t by
any expression Of his opinion upon 1t. 1t Is
little singular that the conductor OF pub
lie journal, in favor Of measure OF great
| Importance, should neglect For months before
that question is to be decided at the ballot
box, even an open and manly expression OF
his opinion of its merits that knowing that
all votes cast which are silent upon the
| question are counted against the Cenven-
ton, he should not even so much as warn
his readers Of that fact; and we don't know
but the people will give him credit for sim
cerity when he says he is Gin favor OF con-
yention," but we can't. The declaration
comes "too late.
The Wing accuses US Of making an un-
generous attack upon that print sfor not
assuming to dictste to the Wing voters OF
the county bow they should vote upon
question of so much Importance This is
man Of straw set up by the Wig that
it may have mark at which to discharge
its pop-gun battery. We have never made
any such charge But we do aver, and
stand ready to prove that the opposition tc
a Convention to amend the Constitution
came from the Wing party, and that its or.

party in nearly every county in the State.
now claiming to be in favor Of the measure

defeat this great measere. They feared the
result Of the vote upon it, and therefore dar-

~ The Connecticut Western Reserve,
30 long the very bot-bed of Federalism,
where, from time immemorial, modern whig-
gerry held almost undisputed sway-the Con-
neeticnt Western Resrye, to which whigge-
~ used confidently to look for 10000 whig
majority, and a unanimous whig deleg alton

And NOW the Democracy elect three mem
bers, where for SO long they had contend

whigs contend that their reverses are at
tributable 10 division in their ranks, and
shat to that division do the Democracy owe
Sheir success. This is in great measure
true Yet in the result of the late election
che Democratic principles and policy have
achieved a glorisns sfiamph over the prin-
eipits cid policy of the Wbigs. For tho
: .flk Free Soil party consists for the most
part of. those who were originally Wings,
and who broke of their connection from
that party on account Of its suhserviency TO
the slave power, yet they now repudiate the
whole policy, State and National Of their
old political allies. No sooner was the
spell which bound them to whiggery brok-
en-, than they dissolved all connection with
it and lost all desire for the success of its
policy. In the Platform adopted by the
Free Sellers in Columbus last winter, and
which they have since re-atErmed in all o
their County Conventions, they threw over.
board the entire principles and policy of the
Wbig party, and avowed their opposition
TO its system Of partial legislation. Tho
there were three parties in the field at the
late election, the contest was between the
principles Of the Democracy and Federal
ism-between equality of political rights
and special immunities and privileges
between man and privileged capital which
is seeking to rob and oppress him. The
result is a cheering victory to the former,
to the latter sore rebuke, and one of
which they appear TO be sensible.

Canada Coming-A Union Of Thirty-Fiye
Mates.

A Montreal correspondent of the New
York Courier & Enquirer, suggests the
appropriate boundaries for the three States
into which he would have Canada divided,
each of which would be as large as one of
our first class States, and centain half q
million Of inhabitants, with plenty Of room
for more: The plan is obviously presen.
ted for the consideration Of the, American
people, as one in which they are expected
TO take some interest, in contemplating pf
the event of these States seeking admission
some future day into our Union. He
-slutes that this plan has been a good deal
discussed in private, and lhot the distribution
sgelsrally suggested, is-as follows:-y.a, !.
The STATE OF Canada West, fo in
clade the Whole df Upper, Canada dowr 10

9. The State of Canada East; to in.
clude- the districts of Quesse s6r Three
Rivers, with the exception OF some Of The
southern Townships. The population o.
this would be almost exclusively French
with the exception of Quebec, where ,ht
Irish laboring classes are pretty numerous
but go with the French-the mercantile
classes having no political influence, an
indeed being quite apathelic.
3. The State OF Central Canada, 4
consist of the Ottawa District, and of lha
portion of Upper Canada, which lies be
tween the Ottawa and to St. Lawrence, q
the District of Montreal and of that Of ST
Francis, leaving to Canada East the border
ing parishes oil purely French character
and taking on the South, the townships {
British law and settlement.
The composition of the latter Stal
would be pretty equally OF those who spea
the French, and OF those who speak Englis
tongues.
The writer seems 10 think tha: the peopl
of the United States are somewhat apathel
to the advantages Of the acquisition of tn
Canadas; that they are not so much in
pressed as they ought TO be with the gre;
national importance Of closing our fronlie
to the North, and removing at once an
