CENSUS OF BosToN.-The result of the census of
Boston has just been obtained. The total popula-
ton of the city is 1872, 629 The number born in
foreign countries, with their children under q
years OF age, is Us follows: Irish, 69,239; Ger
mans, 1855 other countries, l2,5li-a sum total
of 10000 more than the native population and
their children, Out of the 23,s41 increase during
the past five years 1926 was by the Irish popu-
lation, 1920 by the Germans, and 1884 by other
foreigners, making the increase of natives only
997. It is estimated, however, that Boston bust
ness men, with their families to the number Of So
900, reside in the neighboring towns.
The limited territory of Boston renders II proba-
bic that by the next ten years, nearly the whole
surface will be occupied by stores and dwellings
adapted to the foreign population. Thus Boston, once
the most intensely American of all the Northern
seaports will probably become in the lapse Of one
decade, SO far as actual population is concerned a
mere dependency Of Ireland.
To one who recalls her revolutionary history,
and her later years, rendered ilustrious by Cabot
Parsons, Lowell Dexter, Otis, and Webster this
is prospect by no means pleasant in the nnticipn
ton.

The ORrHASs OF PoRTsMoUrH.-The Richmond
Dispatch of Saturday says Yesterday evening
there came up in the Curtis Peck twenty-eight
children in charge of the Rev. Thomas Hume.
They we're all from Portsmouth. They were Of
all ages, from fifteen months to fifteen years. The
number was diminished from several causes
some we're claimed by their relatives others were
detained by the desire Of friends or relatives who
expected to be able to take charge Of them, &c. |;
but the chief reason was that the authorities Of
Portsmouth thought il best 70 divide the number,
sending part at a time. Upon the arrival OF the
children they were taken in charge by the COM
mittee, and were Immediately conveyed TO the
College. They were accompanied by three Sisters
of Charity, who showed the most tender regard
for them. More than FIVE hundred dresses were
prepared for them by the ladies of Richmond.
They will be made very comfortable

Whig Convention In PhiIadelphia.
MONDAY, September II, ls55.


This meeting we suppose portends more NJ
sion. The resolutions re-affirm the basis prin-
ciples Of the Wing party, but ignoring all those
questions Of policy which used to address them
selves so emphaticaly to Pennsylvania inter-
eats; they treat the public TO lecture upon
the Wilmot Proyiso, and announce determi-
nation to admit "no more slave States into the
Union" This is remarkable termination to
a great national party. What has become of
the regulation Of the currency and the defence
of the marble monster in Chestnut street, Why
do not the bones of the canonized Biddlc burst
their easements and denounce such heartless
abandonment Why do not looms and trip.
hammers stop with paralysis Of indignation,
because of such signal ingratitude2 Why do
not the rivers, like the Nissus and the Severn,
shrink under their own sedge, at this selfish
abandonment, and the harbors freeze over in
midsummer when the great Wing party Of
Pennsylvania has not one word for their re-
lief? These Philadelphia Wings long for Of
lice with an insatiate appetite. They have
broken down the tariff, the currency, and in
ternal improvement, by their reckless and I'M
scrupulous advocacy Of these systems. They
tried Freesoilism under Governor johnson,
upon the occasion when that eminent Dalgetty
was beaten so ignominiousy. They now inn
agine the contract is to be had by the highest
Abolition bidder, so they hasten to compete
with the Black Republicans, and pledge them
selves to war of sections, which will last I'M
Ill the unhappy republic shall expire in the
commissions of civil war. What would Clay
or Frelinghuysen say to such degradation Of
their principles2 The party the constitution
prescribing States for their institutions! The
party that advocated American labor against
the world, counting and importing the paupel
labor Of Europe to divide the crust with the
American mechanic! Abandoning all those
bright principles and glorious measures to
enlist under Wilson, Chase, and Sumner--al
lismasted Locofocos--in miserable campaign
about the niggers! Fortunately for the peace
of the gallant Harry, he is nomore. Neither the
whispered bargains nor the fanatical yells Of
those who once said they loved him, can break
his rest

The Irish Cohorts in Motion.

The following notice appears In the Ledger of
yesterday:
"To the friends of Ireland, and particularly
those who sympathize with the action of the Mas
sachusetts Convention, held lately in the City Of
Boston. These will please meet at the corner of
Eighteenth and William streets, between Lombard
and South, at IL o'clock, at the Seventh Ward
House, this evening"
We did not send reporter to this meeting, be-
cause we are aware that its real objects as well as
the means by which they are proposed to be car
ried out are secret; and we do not choose to fol-
low the example Of our opponents, and violate the
common eourtesies and decencies of life, by ap.
pearing where we'are not wanted. We have al
ready published the resolutions OF the Massachu-
sets Irish convention, and extracts from the con-
stitution of Lodge No. 3 of "Silent Friends" in
Philadelphia The objects and designs Of this as
ISOLATION and this movement are, therefore, wen
known to our readers.
Who can for one moment fail to see, In this Sc
cret, Simultaneous Irish movement in Phiiadel-
phid, within a month Of an important State cleo
tcn the infallible signs Of concerted and organ
lied effort, on the part Of the Roman Catholic
Irish population, in reference to that election
All men of observation know human nature--and
especially Catholic Irish human nature--too well
to be for moment mystiied by the pretended
plan Of revolutoninng Ireland, which country for
full and hopeful an aspect as at the present mo-
ment, and where the last spasm Of its cautious "pa-
triots has long since expired. The whole pre-
tcnce Of revolutionizing Ireland, il a humbug and
n sham. The real object az we have already sta
ted, of this grand national Catholic Irish organiza-
ton s 10 concentrate and draw out the full strength
Of the Catholic Irish VOTE at such times and places
as may be commanded by the priests bishops and
leaders in obedience TO the political necessities Of
the administration at Washington. The present
point of attack is Pennsylvania, and especially
Philadelphia, where " Democratic victory be-
comes matter of life and death to the admins
traton and its ofice-holding and spoilsconsuming
ninions. Therefore il is, that we have witnessed
the formation of secret Catholic Irish lodges whose
members take an oath that they ~ill Immediately
upon becoming members, provide themselves with
arms and ammunition, and perfect themselves in
their use. What forS The country "a not threat
