THE MASSACHUSETTS OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Wilson, in his speech at the Mass Convention in
this city, on Wednesday, said he had been told
that his colleagues in the House of Representa-
tives had been complained of for inacton in re-
gard to the assault on Mr.. Sumner. Truth and
justice demanded that he should say that the
Massachusetts delegation had acted right in this
matter. They had not,spoken because they had
no opportunity to speak. By general consent it
was agreed that Mr.. Campbell should introduce
that matter, but the debate was shut off by the
adroit use of the previous question. When an
opportunity does occur, they will vindicate Mas
sachusetts in reference to this outrage. He
knew they were unit for freedom, and would be
united for the man nominated at Philadelphia

wer wrote to his confidential agent, Chatfeld,
and we published copy of the letter Feb. TO-
1851. Mr. Clayton afterwards said that Mr..
Buiwer denied its authorship to him but We
still have the original, and can produce it when
called for.
The debate now going on in the Senate is
only a re- hash Of the HERALD editorials since
1851 /; they are changed, however, and over
loaded with bOmbast, fustian and froth. They
will end in nothing at all.
On the whole, it may be worthy Of conside.
ration whether the true course in respect to
this treaty would not be to annul and abrogate
it, after the fashion adopted in relation to the
Missouri Compromise, and on the ground that
it is disgraceful to both governments, being
merely pledge Of honor that neither will
steal in Central America, with oodicil declar-
ing that the pledge is not to amount to any
thing. The fear of British colonization is a
bugbear, for in quarter Of q century the Bri-
tish colonists will set up for themselves, with
the aid of our flbustcros, and establish new
Anglo Saxon and American republic.

The IRISH AMERICAN BUFFALO CONVENTION
AND IT'S OBJEcTs.--We publish to-day a compi-
lation Of the proceedings of quite a number OF
public meetings of Irish Catholics, in the Unit
ed States and the Canadas, in reference to the
Buffalo Irish Emigrant Aid Convention Of the
18th instant
From these proceedings it will appear, first,
that the general plan of action In behalf Of
Irish emigration, which is to come before this
convention, combines the important essentials
OF benevolence, common sense and practical
bility. 1t proposes to provide comfortable
and permanent homes in the West for the.
numerous destitute Irish of our Eastern
towns and cities, and to make the movement
at the same time q profitable thing to the 60
ciety in the end. In other words, the enter
prise contemplates nothing less than the ap-
preparation OF an immense amount Of solid
but idle capital, in the form of unemployed
and destitute Irish-men, women and chill
dren-to practical purpose, in the active de-
velopement of the dormant riches of the great
West. In this light, the movement cOmmends
itself as q work of humanity, as profitable
pecuniary investment, and as public mea-
cure adding thus much to the substantial
wealth and strength of the country. Let the
work be carried out, aud it will be like the
draining of a pestilential marsh, and it's con-
version into green fields, gardens and vine
yards.
Our readers will also observe that while
the Catholic clergy in numerous other placed
are taking leading hand in behalf Of this
Buffalo Convention, our venerable Archbishop
Hughes is among the missing Why SO? Can,
it be that his inclinations are rather Of mill
tary than of an agricultural type? His organ
is singularly quiet upon the subject. Can it be
that our worthy Archbishop is fearful that this
Western emigration scheme will 30 far dimin-
ish his flock upon this island as to affect the
interests of the church in this quarter? We
cannot believe it. We are rather disposed to,
think that our distinguished prelate has cen
cluded to withdraw entirely, not only FROM.
all political, but from all secular move
ments Of an Irish Catholic character, in
order to escape the wrath of the Know No.
things. At all events, he is q neutral, when
he should be up and doing. We are sorry
for it. His name "would be tower of.
strength" to his brethren of the hierarchy at
Buffalo; for his immediate flock, of all others,
will be most benefited should this Buffalo,
scheme be reduced to working system of
practical Irish Catholic amelioration. Per-
haps he may, however, while heartily but
quietly co operating with his brethren in be-
half of this Western colonization project, pre-
fer to keep in the shade, from considerations
Of wise discretion.
Be this as it may, we are inclined to be-
lieve, from the distinguished character of the
leading delegates from all quarters that the
deliberations of this Buffalo Convention will
be crowned with important and desirable re-
suits. Believing that its objects are entirely
good, we are free to repeat our wishes for its
uccess-
