From the Southwark (Pa.) Herald.

Between two and three years ago it was
discovered that scheme was on foot, original
ing in the United States, TO reyolutionize por-
ton of Northern Mexico, dismember it from
the Central Government of Mexico, and form
therein new repubic-to be called the re-
public of Sierra Madre. To this end com
blhation had been entered into in the South,
loans of money arranged for, number of Off
cers who had then lately ser,e ed in the Mexican
war bad consented 10 embark in this new project,
and some troops we're about being enlisted for the
crusade. Just at this juncture of the affair, the
whole project was made known TO President TAy-
Lon, and he put what for the time seemed to be a
total extinguisher upon it.
During the last twelve months we have heard
various rumors that the Sierra Madre expedition
was about 20 be revived, and that number of dis
tnguishcd men in the South were prepared to give
it aid and eountenance. A New Orleans journal
more recently announced that such an expedition
was actually in course Of preparation. Shortly af-
forwards we're informed by telegraph that a
serious revolution had broken out in the State Of
Tamaulipas, which has gradually progressed un-
der the standard Of Carvajal, until the whole oil

Division of Oregon Territory.

Convention of Delegates in Oregon Territory,
north of the Columbia river, was held at Cowlitz,
Lewis county, on the Goth of August, to take into
consideration the propriety Of organizing q sepa-
rate territorial government for that portion. Twem-
ty-two delegates present Hon Seth Catlin
was chosen president, and F. s. Balch and A. M.
Poe secretaries. The following is the report of the
committee on territorial government
The committee are unanimously of opinion that
q territorial government ought to be organized by
Congress north of the Columbia river The pro.
priety of such organization arises from the de-
mand and necessity Of the occasion. That govern
mcnt is contemplated for the benefit of the people,
the vast extent of Territory north we'll adapted to
agriculture, commerce, and manufacturing-
total absence of all municipal law and civil OIL
cersthe great distance from the seat of the pres-
ent government, aud the isolated situation OF this
part of the Territory therefrom--and many other
reasons too well known to require repetition
spire TO convince the committee that there is much
propricty in the organization of separate terrific
rial government and that no time ought to be lost
in demanding the same from Congress- Therefore
the committee offers the following resolution for
adoption:
That committee of three be appointed by the
president of the convention to prepare a suitable
memorial on that subject to Congress- and that the
same be forwarded TO tho delegate in Congress
from Oregon Territory, requesting him to use his
influence to procure the organization of separate
territorial government
The question the adoption OF the resolution
The following gentlemen were appointed on the
COMMITTEES Messrs. j. B. Chapman, +. 8. Balch,
nj. L. Simmons.
The convention adopted the report of n commit
tee on districts and counties, and districsed the
territory north Of Columbia river into twelve coun-
tics, with suitable boundaries prescribed, and in
structed their representatives to procure the divi
sion of the Territory designated.
MI. Chapman submitted the following resolution,
which wns unanimously adopted:
That our delegate TO Congress be instructed to
use his influence with the Congress of the United
States, that, in the organization of said territorial
government, to have said Territory designated as
Columbia Territory, is most especially solicited and
required.
Mr.. Maynard submitted the following resolution,
which was adopted:
That when this convention does adjourn, ID adj

The lecfiors.

A good deal of doubt still hangs over the re-
suit of the New York election; but the proba
bility is that the Wing party have small ma
jority in either branch of the Legislature.
From Baltimore we have batch of details,
indicating the success of the Democratic ticket
in that city. Days will elapse before we have
any thing decisive from many parts of the
State. The dispatches from Louisiana and
Mississippi confirm the general tenor of those
published yesterday. In the former, the Wings
have proved victorious. In the latter, Mr..
FooTE is understood TO be elected, though by a
smaller majority than was at first anticipated.
