Boston, Aug. 2l.-The official call

cester, August 80, is signed by State
Committee of "A persons, inclndinS Brad
ford L. w ales, former Hunker candi
date for Govenor: Isaac II: Wright, late
Navy Agent and formerly distinguished
democrat, and other Wings and Demo
Gratis. They say, I'VE are determined to
resist fanatical legislation in every form,
to the last extremity, and to substitute for
the present demoralizing liquor enactment
a just and practicable license law. We
are willing, therefore, to forego our con.
nection with every political party, for the
time being, to wag war OF determination
against this and every kindred enactment.
They give as their reason for not joining
other parties, in substance, that they can
not trnst them; that they have lent them
selves to the faction that passed the law.
Boston. Aug. 21.--The mechanics at the
Charleston Navy held meeting yesterday
and voted on one days work to the relief
of their suffering brethren at the Co.

NJ CoNGRESs will assemble on the Sd Of
December. Already, as We learn from Wash
ington papers, members are beginning, 10 ar
rive at the Capital, and there will doubtless
be a quetum present at the opening of the ses-
sion. We anticipate a protracte and stormy
session growing out OF the slavery question,
and the somewhat unsettled state of our foreign
relations. The House Of Representatives, will
be the great arena of strife; but we look with
confidence 10 the conservatism and patriotism
<ofthe Senate and Executive 10 save the coun-
try from the recklessness and incapacity of
the dominant party in the other branch of
Congress. We have ma 1e arrangements by
which we expect TO have a regular W ashing-
ton correspondence during the session, and
sha ii therefore be enabled 10 keep our readers
advised Of everything important that may be
ira nsacted.

a fact for Reflection.

The Pi;,sburg Post, remarking upon the
Democratic Territorial policy for a series OF
years, says: ~'enough of territory has been an
nexed TO make twenty or more States of large
size, and that, too, without dividing Texas at
all: and dividing that into three States, we
have at least t,1enty three States out of the
Territory acquires, not more than six of them
slave States, and the remaining seventeen, at
least, free States. Such is the sum of Demo.
cratic annexations. And observe, too, not one
foot Of free territory has been annered and then
converted into Stare territory. Here is a state
Of facts that all politicians inclined TO run Of
Ter the false lights OF Greedy, Seward & Co.,
would do well 10 keep in view.

1JThe late election in New York has clear.
ly demonstrated the fact, that amid the confu.
sion OF parties and the fanaticism of politics,
there is a band Of good men and true, who are
not only willing but determined 10 carry out
those National principles by which they are
distinguished. We allude 10 the Yards; who,
though defeated in the recent election, presen.
ted q bold from! 10 the tide OF fanaticism which
rolled over them, and retired from the field
with the Consciousness that they had served
their country well. While this highly conser-
vutive element in New York politics remains,
we have hope that the Ienven OF truth and
right W u peryade the mass, and that by No.
