We observe illusions in many OF our ex-
change papers, North and South, to the fact
that committee Of WINGS have rendered a
Congressional nomination in the New Orleans
district of Louisiana to our late associate,
Mr.. ALEXANDER G. BULLITT. If the qualities
which are most attractive among personal
friends can win general popularity, and if
long, able, and faithful service in the VINO
cause can secure Wing confidence, we appro-
bend that no nomination could be made which
would prove more acceptable TO the party Of
which he is a member, or to the citizens Of the
district. His experience in affairs, his sound
judgment, his liberal and enlightened patriot
ism, and his great ability in the expression
and enforcement Of his views, orally and by the
pen, would at once give Mr.. BULLrrT leading
position in the House, and enable him to render
distinguished service to the country.

The Boun dairy Commission.

Private letters recently received from Colo
mel GRAHAM, of the Corps of Typographical
Engineers, give information of himself and
party being en- route from San Antonio to Ell
Paso del Norte, where it is expected he will
arrive in few days, to join the United States
Boundary Commission, as principal astronomer
and head of the Scientific Corps.
The Government train which Colonel Ora
HAM accompanies to Ell Paso, being the first
and only opportunity he has had of joining the
Commission since he was assigned. to it, he has
awaited himself'of the time thus afforded him
to provide complete outfit Of excellent astro-
nomical and surveying instruments necessary
for that service.
We may therefore expect that, with the as
sstance of the Typographical officers and Civil
Engineers who accompany him, the country
will be furnished with scientific results such as
have given to Colonel GRAHAM an enviabe
reputation on the several expeditions which he
has heretofore conducted.

The New Bedford Mercury states that dur
ing the past year sixty-eight ships have been
added to the whaling feet belonging to that
port. This remarkable fact indicates degree
of prosperity and enterprise as gratifying as it
is surprising. 1t shows the fruits of an un-
restricted commerce, and the results Of protec-
tive measures. The town Of New Bedford
situated on rocky promontory, without any
inland advantages whatever, and surrounded
by barren soil, by the intelligent enterprise Of
its inhabitants is rapidly becoming a CONNER
cial city Of the first class. Its growthis mar
vel; and it already numbers among its citizens
some Of the wealthiest merchants in the coun-
try. This out Of the way town has, for many
years, supplied the north Of Europe with oil;
and il is remarkable fact that both France
and England are indebted to New Bedford
merchants for establishing the whale fishery
in London and Havre. Henry GRINNELL, by
whose munfcence the expedition was sent out
from New York in search of Sir JOHN FRANZ
LIN. is New Bedford merchant. We observe,
that among the articles in the Great Exhibition
of which favorable mention is made, are mus
Inns from the New Bedford mills. This enter
prising and thrifty town is one Of the most
beautiful in New England; the county road,
where it's merchants have built their princely
residences. at the back Of the town, is one Of
the most elegants streets that any town Of the
Union can boast Of.

Government assumed to pay in consideration
Of the acquisition of CALIroRNIA and New
Mexico; In part TO pay the instalments we had
bound ourselves by treaty to pay MEXICO; in
part to pay the additional expenses of the Gov
eminent, greatly increased by the acquisition
of these Territories; and in part to pay the
expenses OF restraining the Indians from COM
hitting depredations upon MEXICO, as We were
bound by the same treaty to do. Another small
item is the ten millions Congress agreed to pay
settlement of the difficulties which had grown
out of the expulsion of the Mexicans from the
northern side of the Rio Grande, and the acqui-
sition of New Mexico. And who made
these appropriations A Democratic Congress.
Were they wrong2 Then that Congress is re-
sponsible for the injury done to the country. 1t
is the duty Of the Executive to see that the
laws are executed; and whatever means are
necessary to perform that duty, and to meet the
pecuniary engagements of the country, it is the
duty Of the President and Secretary of the
Treasury to call for. Having done this, it is
for Congress to inquire and inform itself what
appropriations are necessary, and to make them,
and with them rests the responsibility of making
or Withholding them, not with the PRESIDENT.
This the convention knew, though it must have
presumed upon the ignorance of the people Of
Pennsylvania, or it wonld not have put forth
the insinuation contained in the resolution -.

An EIoquent Letter from n Virginia Lady

An Eloquent Letter from n Virgins Lady.
II has been already announced that Governor
Mcdowell, Of Virginia, has been compelled by
domestic affection TO decline the invitation
given him, by union of parties in Springfield,
To deliver an Grafton here on the Fourth Of
July. The invitation Of the committee Of ar
engagements was, by request of that committee,
forwarded to him by Mr.. Ashmun, who accom-
panied it with letter adding his own earnest
wish for an acceptance, and an assurance of
general and cordial welcome among our people.
On Saturday last the following letter was re-
ceived in reply; and it is no risk to say, that it
cannot but be read with emotion and interest by
every son and daughter of Massachusetts.

invitation from the twenty five citizens of Spring

to her. and to leave him in great distress and hope

heart for any thing beyond his own home. Dear

it only can be, BY preserving our Union as it is;

to express the hope that, in the past these great
