THE WEST AND THE UNION.

AT the dinner of the Alumni of Yale College, on
the occasion Of the recent commencement celebra-
ton Of that institution, among other distinguished
guests then and there present was Mr.. BATES, of
Missouri-thee eminent gentleman who declined not
long since the Department of the Interior, profered
to him by President FILLMORE. In acknowledge
ment of toast complimentary to the West Mr..
Bates delivered speech which was received with
much applause. We note one passage from the
abstract given of it in the New York Tribune:
"He said that out Of the Mississippi eight millions of
people drink. Il through the whole country, and the

NEW Jersey.

We are gratifed to learn that the Wing State
Convention Of New Jersey, which assembled at
Trenton yesterday, nominated for the station of
Governor the Hon. JOHN RUNK, who was de-
servedly popular member of the 20th Congress,
and is said to be one of the most popular gentle
men of the Wing party in that State.
The ensuing Fall Election in New Jersey is one
of much importance. Besides Governor, to be
chosen for three years, there are to be elected five
members Of Congress, and Legislature, on which
will devolve the election of United States Senator
Chancellor, large portion Of the Judges of the
higher Courts, and other State officers. We think
it fortunate for our Wing friends in New Jersey
that they have selected so strong standard bearer
to lead them through the coming contest.

Preparations are being made, as we are informed,
for an anti-rent Convention, Tin the State Of New
York; and other evidences begin to appear that
the elements Of disorder, disorganizaton, and anar
ehy are at work again. This is the age Of associa-
ton and combinations Men associate for religious
purposes, for benevolent purposes, for business pur
poses, and for honest purposes; and they also as
sociate for dishonest purposes, and for diabolcal
purposes There was time when honesty was
esteemed virtue, but it is out of fashion now, and
men have become so much enlightened that they
can "see as clear as day. how it is wrong to pay
honest debts, and oppressive in creditors to ask it.
And, accordingly, we have ant-debtpaying asso-
Citations, which is only another name for anti-rent
associations. Why, reader, don't you see it is de-
grading to freeman to be obliged to fulfil his con-
tracts and pay his debts If you do not then you
are behind the times. And if you don't see how
easy it is to avoid it, you must be oldfashoned in
deed. All you have to do is to get rogues enough
to combine together to set the law at defiance, or
call convention and nominate candidates pledged
to annul contracts and wipe out obligations. and
then get political parties to elect ,hem.-.4lbany

Washington correspondent Of the Philadelphia
alludiner tho dolaS has thus for

A Washington correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Inquirer abiding to the delay that has thus far been
caused in filling up the Department Of the Interior,
says that the matter is by no means calculated to
excite SURPRISE In the first place, he argues, the
labors Of the post are very arduous IN the second,
the salary is by far too small in the third, the
term may not extend but little over two years in
the fourth, it is not an easy thing for professional
man, in the enjoyment Of lucrative practice, to
abandon his post and his associations for life with
the object Of visiting Washington, and accepting
even Cabinet station under such circumstances.
His conclusion, therefore, is, that President FILL
MORE has been remarkably fortunate. His Cabi-
net as far as formed is one Of the ablest that has
ever adorned the National Councils, and the indi-
cations are that the Department of the Interior will
soon be filled, and by gentleman every way quail
fed to inspire the confidence of the country.

MARYLAND coNsTlrUroNAL CONVENTION.

BALTIMORE, SEPT. 6-P. NJ.
The recent election for Delegates to the State
Reform Convention has, from present indications
resulted more favorably to the Wings than was an
ticipaed. All the counties but Calvert, Caroline,
Somerset, and Worcester have been heard from,
and the result is the election of thty-six Wings,
thirty-six Democrats, and thirteen Union. The
counties to hear from will probably give the Wings
clear majority in the Convention. If not, those
who have been elected on the Union ticket being
conservative, will prevent the Locofocos from
making such amendments and alterations of the
Constitution as would not only be highly unjust,
but specially designed for the benefit Of Locofc-
coism. Had there been decided Locofoco ma
joriy in the Convention. of delegates to it, the
real object of reform would have been lost sight Of
in the eagerness to accomplish political purposes
P.S. All the counties but one are now heard
from. The Wings have elected SO and the Demo-.
Gratis 4s Delegates. The Wings will certainly
have majority.

THE COUNTRY sAFEi

Our readers will, one and all, we are sure, learn
with the same heartfelt qualification that we an
nounce it, the fact of the passage by the House Of
Representatives, yesterday, Of the Senate Bills set
tie the Texas Boundary and to establish Terri
torial Government for New Mexico-the two
having been consolidated in one bill by the House.
The passage of these important measures will
satisfy all reasonable men of every section, and
give peace and quiet to the country. The bills
were passed by small majority, it is true; but
the scant majority test of the true sense Of
the House. For it was remarked by sagacious
member, after the vote was announced, that he had
doubt the result gave joy to at least four-fhs Of
the members of the House.
Our hearts are too full of sense of ioy on this
event for any comment upon it to-day.
When DECATUR was bearing down on the Mace
DOMAIN, and ready to open his batteries on her, an
officer came up and said, Sir, the men wish to
cheer" Z" Let them take the ship, and then cheer,
