IAs Public Meeting at the City Hall Territorial Gov
srnmsnt for the District
In accordance with call published in the National
Intelgencer between two and three hundred persons
sembled at the City Hall last night to take into conside-
ration the subject OF territorial government for the
District OF Columbia and the reformation OF laws re-
garded unsuted to present condition COL Seaton,
the mayor OF the city, appointed chairman and Mr..
B. B. French secretary. Mr. Waerston offered reso-
luton, that at present inexpedient TO agitae the
subject OF territorial government. Mr. J. H. Bradley
proposed to amend this authorizing the mayor TO call
public meeting Of all the citizens Of the county, and TO
consider three different plans, best suited to cond
ton. Debate followed, in which Mcssrs Watterston,
Bradley Carlisle, Dow, Lenox. John Wilson, and DR.,
Jones participated One side contended that the laws
ought 70 be revised and that Congress had hereto
fore failed neglected to act for this particular,
because they not acquainted with our wants, there
ought to be municipal legislature. prepare laws, to be
submitted to Congress for approval and that Congress
has power to transfer its Legislative power the
District to the people On the other side, it urged
that ought to throw additional troubl
the halls OF Congress II we ask for territorial gov.
ernment the question OF slavery will be there discussed
in connection with the application. We should await
further action by the national legislature. All the agi-
atng subjects would probably be settled during the pres
ent session, and then ask with safety for the
forms we need Other Arguments urged; and finally
the resolution OF Mr.. Watterston declaring action at
present inexpedient adopted, and the meeting ad-
journed.

Several contradictory statements have been recently

of the Nicaragua question II is reported that Mr. Law

Mr.. Rives was charged with some preliminary repre-
senation of the views OF this government to that OF
Great Britain: Next, Mr. Lawrence went out with in
strucons to the Nicaragua question. After the Tgre
island affair, other instructions sent to Mr.. Law
renee. This government is now anxiousy awaiting IN
tegence from him, and as to the views OF the British
government The determination Of Lord Palmerson on
the latter subject is here unknown.
The is questions as to Mr. Chatfelds conduct and the
England and to this hour he has no instructions to

has, in conference with Mr. Clayton, expressed dspo
stion favorable to the views Wishes and interests oil
this and offered any guarantees on the part

project by the contractors, without hindrance, and the
future freedom and neutrality OF the route.

Augustus Caesar was 90 celebrated for his munhcent
patronage Of Of letters, that the period OF his reign
has been memorable the Augustan Age. And so
remarkable was this epoch in Roman history that all
parallel periods in the existence OF other nations have
been called by them the Augusan age OF their literature
Thus when literature most hourshed in England, during
the time OF Johnson, Addison and Others the period
denomnated the Augustan Age OF English literature.
Now il the Emperor Augustus could on account Of his
patronage Of letters and the aouishng condition Of liter
AZURE in his reign impress his upon the PERIOD
and induce all pos,eny and the rest Of mankind" to
call il the Augustan age. why may not President Zachary
Taylor by his cultivation Of letters and his patronage Of
literary men, give his impress the period Of his pres
Dental reign. and induce all men call il the Zaeharaa
dge1 We think President who has yet occupied the
White House has better right to give such celebrity to
the epoch Of his sway. None has been more distin.
guished for his own letters and literary qualifications
than President Zachary Taylor and President
had about him secretaries and ministers who have
made such bold innovations upon what was before
deemed standard literature That the novelties Of ltera-
ture introduced under the present official dynasty may
be preserved for future history, group them all TO-
gether, for their better preservation. We begin. first,
with the presidential bulls. which wag. out west has
thus analysed and classified He says:
The horns Of the presidential bull thus marked and
described,
