THE IRISH CONVENTION.

The Astor House Convention hiss closed its To-
bOrs and perhaps never in the history Of politics
did mountain which had been so heralded bring
forth such mouse. We trust that The Londos
Times and any credulous Brtishers who may have
caught alarm from the portentOus printed inten-
ton of this redoubted Emigrant Society will from
this forth fold their arms and take their sleep in
peace The story of this Convention may be
summed up in few words. 1t was occupied in
true HberDian spirit almost exclusively, with q
squabble between two newspaper writer's, and
its result was that ore distinguished Irish
man who accused another disttngu shed Irish
man Of being false and malicious, was false and
malicious himself ard that Mr. John McClenahsn,
accused OF occasional closet int views with the
British Consul at this port, was worthy of the
full confidence Of all Irishmen in the Colonies and
United States. The affair was harmless and
smusing, and would really require but leniens

President Pierce and Mr.. Secretary Marcy are,
we believe as anxious to maintain peace as we
are, and in this they represent fully the feelings Of
