WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 87, 1842. THE LEGISLATURE. The indication! in both Houses are pretty conclusive that no bus iness will bo taken up during the extra session, beyond that for which the meeting has heon specially assembled, viz: the apportionment of the State, and possibly some measure of relief for the canal contractors. It will have been noticed that Col. Chambers' motion in the House to dispense with the printing of ordinary bills, has been carried by a large vote. This of course cuts off Mcdary's expectations of swelling the expenditure for public printing, which his friends will find to be quite large enough when a statement is published. Tito pertinent and judicious remarks of Mr. Schenck, on the Bubject of the action of the two Houses, for this present session, in the Daily, (and also in our Weokly,) to-day, will attract the attention of our reodcrs here and elsewhere. The matter of the apportionment makes no progress, perceptible to the general eye. It will have been observed, that a joint committee of twenty-one hn. heon raised to rcDort a bill to district the State. We hear many rumors respecting the feeling in the Loco Foco portion of the committee, but perhaps none entirely authentic. It is believed that several of lite members came hero pre-dclcrmincd to chalk out the Congressional districts without regord to county lines. This scheme of course originated with those candidates whoso designs could not bo nhaorvpil hv an old fashionod anoortionmont But the nlan meets with unexpected opposition in tlto " party," numbers of the majority making no secret of their intention to vote it down without hesitation. We do not beliovo there is another legislature in tlto Union where political management obtains to suclt an extent, as it docs in this State. Although the outward form of placing Whigs upon the committees is observed, yet tho idea of consulting them in the deliberations of the committee is never thought of. The joint commitlco, by the operation of this rule, havo not been called together, yet, although it is now the middle of tlto week.no; will they bo until the political maioritv of the committee have agreed upon their measure. Those are now enrnostly engaged, but it is whispered that great diversities ol opinion prevail among litem. Tho prospect, to-day, is that theplanof dividing counties will be rejected if not in committee, still when tho subject is presented to the two Houses. Another day will probably bring us more certain devolopcuionls. ROSS COUNTY MEETING. Tin Whim of Ross have taken the field with en- .,, ,! nnthiMiiuiiii. Quito a laruo meeting of the Whigs was held at the Court House in Clullinn. tho on the ltiUt inst. The proceedings are thus noticed by the "Gazette." "OLD ROSS ERECT! "Wo refer with pride and pleasure to tho proceed-in of the County meeting held in this city, on Saturday last. Tho resolutions bruatho tho wholesome republican spirit which has ever animated a large majority of our citizens, sinco tho division of parties in Jellerson's lime. If we can pretend loany knowledge of tho sentiments of tho Whigs of Koss, we will not be contradicted when wo say that, as fur as they go, tho resolutions speak the uiiuminous voice of our people in this region. Whether it bo by Van Iluren or by Tyler, no matter whore ever uud by whomsoever prerogatives are usurped by any Department of Government, tho Whigs of Koss are in-.,..nt ;n uiimilimr the voice of rebuke and alarm. The meeting on Saturday was well-attended bet-1 tor than was exacted, consiuenug mm ltoiiu. our farmers wore engaged in securing their crow. UoUi from the numbers ho attended, and from tlto .i...ni-r nf the incutinir. tlicro wcro civen the best assurances tint when the timo of trial shall arrive, tho Whigs of our County will uo uioir irnoio uuiy. The meeting was eloquently addressed by Gen. Worlhington and Col. Taylcr. Resolutions expressed in strong languago, in favor of a Tariff, of the public land distribution, denunciatory of tho President's Vetoes, and in favor of Mr. Cloy, as well as other minor topics, woro adopted Unanimously as also were tho following preamplo and resolutions, respectfully requesting Mr. Tyler to vacate tho station which ho dishonors: Mr. 'I, D. Doddridge offered the following resolutions, which, alter duo consideration wore unanimously adopted : Whereas, The Government of tho United States inMlitlllftll fur the benefit of tho People, and should be administered with solo reference to their advantage: And whereas, it is the first duly of thoso who may bo called to administer the government, to consult the popular sentiment, and in nil things within tho palo of tho Constitution to conform their olli-cial ails to the expressed wishes of tho People, regardless of their own individual conceptions of expediency, or, as an alternative, to vncate their official stations, and thus to enable the People, through other aircnui, to siuin their wishes: And whereas, it has been made hut too apparent, from Uio experiment of the last fifteen months, that the present incumbent in tho Presidential orlico cannot successfully administer the Government, or discharge the high responsibilities of that exalted station, in a manner acceptable to those through whose suffrages he was elevated to the second oliice in the Republic ; Therefore, . , Retailed, As nur deliberate conviction, that it Is the duty of John Tyler, as tho only means which he l,. i.n i himself of cnublinrr the People to carry n l.mr .nntimrnta. as expressed in the olection of the lamented William Henry Harrison to the Chief Magistracy of the United States, to vacate mo rro-ideiuml ollke j and we do hereby, earnestly and respectfully, request the said John Tyler forthwith to resign said oltice. i Ittsolveil, That a copy of the foregoing preamble n.l resolution, Bttcatcd bv the officers of tins mect- hn forwarded to John Tvlcr, and to each mem ber of the Senate and House of Representatives of the Congress of tho United Slates, FOREIGN ARRIVAL The Acadia has arrived at Boston, aftor a pasaago of 17 days.

Considerable distress prevailed in tho manufacturing districU attributed to tlto over-crcutive power of machinery. Tho Harvest was coming ill abundantly. The New Tariff bill had gono into operation. Ohio Bonds in London stood at 75. TYLERISM IN NEW YORK. An attempt was made last week to got up a Tylor meeting in tlto Park in New York. But the effort proved an utter failure. The Butt-Enders and tlto Spartan Bond, just returned from an expedition against Rhode Island, took possession of the stand, and conducted the affair in their own way. Some resolutions were passed, but they could not have proved very acceptable to his Accidency. It is doubted whether tho Old School Republican will republish tho accounts. STEAMBOAT EXPLOSIONS. The Steamboat Edna recently burst her boilers on. tho Mississippi, near St Louis, by which circum stance some 40 to SO persons, mostly German emi grants, lost their lives. About the some time, (within the present month,) the Shamrock, steamer, exploded on the St Lawrence, near Montreal, whoroby fifty-eight (ond it is believed many more) persons lost their lives ; mostly omigrants. When will tlicro ever bo an end to these murderous casualties ? PENNSYLVANIA. The Legislature of this State havo been several weeks in session, endeavoring to district the State for Mombcrs of Congress. A cominitteo of the House reported a bill, which thut body rejected. The bill from tho Senate met with a like fate. An other bill from the House was rejected by the Senate. A cominitteo of conference was then oppointed to agree upon a common plan, but they have separated and reported respectively that tlioy cannut harmonize tiie existing difficulties. SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. Mr. Forward has been confined by severe and dangerous illness. From the notices of his condition in the Washington papers, we should infer that his recovery was considered doubtful. STATE STOCKS. We aro glad to see Ohio State Stocks recovering in the New York market The lost nttos reported stand at 71)1, an advance of 24 per cent TREATY WITH ENGLAND. The Commissioners of Maine have agreed to como into the arrangement for tho adjustment of the N. E. Boundary. THE NEGOTIATION. Tt is understood that the Secretory of State, on bo-half of the United States, the Commissioners of Massachusetts, and tho Sjiccial Minister of Great Britain, have agreed on the basis of a Convention for tho settlement of tho Northeastern Boundary question. What tho terms of this agreement are, is of course unknown to us. Tho Commissioners of Maine had not decided yesterday whether they would agree or disagree to them; butas it is not to bo sup-. pused that tho distinguished citizens representing the United States and the Stutn of Massachusetts would uccedo to any tonus which Maine ought to decline, wo ure bound to believe that the Commissioners of that Stato M ill not withhold their assent to the arrangement agreed on by their coadjutors in tho negotiation. We feel ourselves authorized, therefore, to congratulate our renders and the whole coun-tty on the near prospect of an amicable adjustment, at last, uf this long-glanding and disquieting difficulty. The thanks of both countries will be due, ond will be freely paid, to the able and patriotic men who will have hrou-jlit it to a peaceful and huppy is sue. .Yulional Inlet, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 28, lK4i BArlK DESTRUCTIVE STATE CONVENTION. (h advance of the Btaltman.) This multitudinous gathering began to precipitate itself upon oor city last evening. We ourselves saw four strangers, looking like delegates, drive up Hich street from the South. Some ten or a dozen found quarters at the Amorican, three aro four at Oyler's, and the rest were comfortably bestowed in different places. N. B. The town was quiet through tho night 8 o'clock Mis morning. The delegation from Fair field has just arrived. It consists of two men in a buggy, bearing a flag. The enthusiasm in the streets is great Coon skins have fallen 50 per cent. 10 A. M. The Convention are assembling in the Theatre. From 70 to a hundred delegates principally from this city and county, and about two hundred Whigs, find the place of meeting an agreeable retreat from the heat of tho sun. . 11 o'clock. A letter is being road from Petticoat Allen. The meeting are listening to the Senator's valedictory with becoming attention. The countenances of many seem to say, " when shall we look upon his like again." 12. Tho Convention are going to get their prog. A committee is appointed to wait on Gov. Shannon, and ask him for a dying speech and confession. Quilp is on hand and looks black in the face. Ad journed. As our paper is going to press we aro reluctantly compelled to defer further particulars untilto-morrow. " THE PEOPLE MOVING. The Whins of Columbus have formed a Clay Club, at which honest John Davis, of Massachusetts, has been nominated as a candidate for Vice President We are highly pleased with the suggestion. Let us see For President Hksrt Clay. " Vice President J oust Davis. What a ticket what talent and power, and influence, and we wcro going to say, what poetry there is in the ticket We can support it and labor for such men with a spirit and patriotism that should characterize tho course of every good Whig. Henry Clay and John Davis I My stars, what powers ! Who would not sacrifice his prejudices for the sake of havin? stfch men at the head of national affairs ! Henry Clay and John Davis! We throw up our cap to that and hail it with joy. Clinton (Ohio) He-publican, APPORTIONMENT. The Statesman copies our apportionment, and ac-con panies it with an insinuation that the population in tho several districts is not sufficiently equalized. Vory well : we are glad to hear such an opinion from that quarter. If the niajority can break the State into districts, of compact and contiguous territory, according to tho law of Congress, and assign a population to each more uniform and proximate to tho common ratio, than ours, without dividing coun-lios, it shall receive our cordial support TIIE LEGISLATURE. est The addresses were wound up lor the evening by a shower of sallies in his beat vein, and that is surpassed by few public speakers. The meeting lost evouing was the opening of the campaign on the part of the Whigs of Columbus. Tho attendance was good, and we went away satis fied with the spirit that is evidently at work among our friends. From this time forward we are assured they will discharge their duty. MR. WEBSTER AND TIIE TYLER PAPERS. We copied a few days sinco, a paragraph from the Baltimore American, stating that lAree messengers passed through that city for the west, with despatches for Mexico. It struck our mind that the employment of three persons for such a purposo was entire ly improper, and an useless charge upon the Treasury ; and stated such to bo our impressions in this paper. The Cincinnati Republican, one ot the confidential organs of the President noticed our re marks in Die following querulous strain: " It is bv such stories as the above, that the ultra Whig papers seek to defame the administration. A portion of thorn claim that Mr. Webster is the enemy of the President ; and that he is only waiting the conclusion of pending negotiations ; and then, will resign the office he holds, and join in, pell mell, with those who seek to destroy John Tyler. Another portion attempt to blacken Ins character oy the publication of such slanders as we quote from theJournal. If thru messengers havo been sent when on" oris The majority adjourned this morning over until ten necessary, merely " fur (heir aptcial benefit," it to-morrow.

Will the " Potato Digger" inform ns what the prospect is of an overwhelming, mammoth Stato Convention to nominate a Tylor candidate for Governor, on tlto 1st proximo? If we can read the signs, tho contemplated convention will fall considerably short of the Dayton host in 18 10. If our advice would not bo deemed impertinent wo would recommend to the Doctor to save all further anxiety and trouble on the subject, by employing tho young Loco Focos tomorrow, (as about a baker's dozen are expected in tho city on that day,) to do tho job of nominating a Governor by contract. They will havo but little business on their hands, and can attend to it without inconvenience,N. B. The rumor about town that Die entire Tyler party had gone off in Clayton's balloon, is wholly premature. Wt believe this scandalous insinuation has beon partly traced to a waggish member of the Legislature. There ' a " potato " for you to " dig," Doctor. IlKilll.r IMPORTANT rltOM SIEXIrO TIIE TKXI.t.N rlllSONrltS IIKI.EAKI.H. By Inst night's Southern mail, wo received New Orleans papers to the Kith instant, containing late and impnrtunt intelligence from Mexico, brought to that port by the schr. Laura Virginia, front Tompico. We copy the following item from the Bulletin: "The most interesting nutva is the release of all Hat S'jihi 'c prisoners. It seems President Santa Ana celebrated his birth-day with this act of grace. The Americans in Mexico will no doubt aid their destitute follow men to obtain the means of tram portalion to their own country." THE ONE-HOUR RULE. The practical working of Una rule is commending it to the favor of Uio People. CongMsa lias never had any rcgiilution which operated so admirably. For insinnce, five or six days wcro allotted to a general debate on the pending Tariff bill. Now, under tho old rules, or want ot rules, some two or three leather-lunged, brazen-bruwed demagogues would have consumed this wholo allotment between tliem in utterly irrcvelenl denmgoguisiuon mutters in general, designed " for Buncombe " in particular. Instead of this, under the one-hour rule, there were fijly-nine speeches delivered, tlinty-lwo in favor of and twenty-seven against the inn, unu eacn generally pertinent to the matter. On the last lull day, no leas limn siitetn of those speeches were delivered, which, but fur tho rule, mould have consumed a fortnight. And these speeches arc much better, as well as easier read, than the old ones. A man wo gets up knowing he has but one hour to speak will bu apt to talk at once to the question, if ho knows any tlnng about it; but g've him a luoso rein, and a modern political orator, proceeds to " free Ins mind " of what over else may be tqion it first and, when "the water is all rowed out" turns to tiio subject beforo the House. And thus a modest member, especially if a new one, had hardly a chance to be lieurd at all on any absorbing quoelion. Tho bell-weothcrs talked till they hod exhausted tho pntience ol Uie House and Uio Nation: at lust they concluded it was time to havo done, and so "sat out" Uie debate, ono or tiro of Uiem talking at midnight till the House would hear no moro, and insisted on taking the question. All Uits is happily obviated by uie one-hour rule. Every man has a chance to spenk ; and some of Uie best speeches this session havo been made by men who novor beforo addressed tho Chair. Then, by fixing a period in advance at which tho debate shull close, every member who chooses can bo surely on hand, and Uio question is decided by a full house, and in Uio small hours of morning by men so sleepy and liquor-steeped as not to know winch way they are voting. A noblo regulation in every way is the one-hour rulo with its adjunct; and, Uiotigh those who resist and obstruct every Uiintr vet curse Con gress for doing nnUiing, opposa and traduco it, yet we aro sure it is approved by uie grout mass ol Uio People. .Vein lor Tribune. Tyler is joined lu Ike .loco focos Lei him alone All connection between John Tyler. IhrActinir Pres ident uf the United States, snd the Whig Party, is forever and irrevocably dissolved. Ilo has been the iimneiliate and direct means of dclt-sting the three great lending measures, iion which tho lug Par ty came into power, i ne establishment ol a ticrmo- ment system of revenue, having especial regard to Uie protection of the products and industry of tho country tho distribution of tho proceeds of the mono l,ands among the Mates and the establishment of an instiltition for tho safo keeping and manntrrtnent of tho nublic mnnevs. snd In as sist in cqiiiilizing the exchanges of the country. If itteso three measures wcro not ol the leading measures iin which tho great political battle of IcMO was fought, wo know of nono that deservod such prominence. Each and every of these measures, John lyler lias tnntst lumsell lorwnrd tonpposo and defeat Elevated to high olliro, by the Whigs, he ban most cruelly defrauded them. Tho position which he held in the Whig Party, previously to the election his false anil hypocritical pretence of a strong personal snd political attachment of Mr. Clay, received tho Whigs at Ilnrrisburg into Uio belief that he was true to their cause. Woakness and vanity are Uio predominant traits of his mind. Ashal-low-patcd sclf'sulliciency governs his ronduct. " Each vacuity sense" is filled with pride. If Iho whole Nation was not suffering to deeply to allow place for mirth, it would be matter of merriment that a great People should, by their own choice, and by any fortuitous occurrence, have happened to elevato to llieir highest otlico, a man whoso mind is miido up of such a shapeless nnd incongruous mass of mate rials, mat no ono ol them is at all adapted to tho purposo to which it is nlti'tnpti'd to be applied. It would bo almost impossible to select a man more entirely incompetent tu tho olhce which he holds, than this man Joim Tri.ua. The whole country is un in arms against hiin and the most joyful news that could now oo brought to salute tho ears ot this sullurnig people, would be the announcement Uiat the said John Tyler had acknowledged Ins incompetency to manago Uio affairs of the government and had litlly and finally resigned his oliice. If he could possibly, by any process, be aroused to a sense of his own incapacity, if he has any dormant feeling of patriotism that could be awakened, ho would adopt this course at once, and confer upon his country Uie greatest blessing which is in an power to bestow. IMon Mat. A DEMONSTRATION. Notwithstanding the good service which tho political abolitionists ore endeavoring to render to the Loco Foco party, the leaders in Uio Legislature have come together again apparently as full of mulignunt spite towards their auxiliaries, as Ihoy wero during Uie regular session of last winter Dr. Bailey, editor of the Cincinnati Philanthropist said a few weeks since, that tlicro was every prospect that the Whigs and Loco Focos wcro about to change positions, with respect to their relations with tho Aboli tion party : that there were reasons for believing that tho Loco Focus woro disposed to treat them with Uie most liberality, and that consequently they could not be found fur apart for the future. That political abolitionism means aid and comfort to tho Loco Foco party, Uicro can be no doubt ; but towards the great objects, in a moral point of view, contemplated by that portion of the Abolition party who repudi-ato political action, we do not see that the leading Loco Focos arc more favorably inclined than beforo. Mr. Byington, one of the magnates of the party, has embraced an early opportunity to spit out his venom upon tho Abolitionists of every grade. In the House, yesterday, upon a motion to receive a petition, Mr. Byington said ho was in favor of its reoeption. " Tho indications wcro that tho people wonted legislation. He was for receiving and referring all kinds of petitions NIGGER petitions eiceplcd." For this manifestation of good feeling towards the cause which the Abolitionists profess to have at heart, the politicians among them, who are bent upon destroying Uio Whigs ond building up the Ico Focos, will of course demonstrate their sense of gratitude and respect WHERE'S THAT ROOSTER I WHERE'S CHAP MAN I Tho Statesman is as dumb as an oyster upon Uio result of tho louisiana election. Its rooster has gono into a state of rctiraey, since ho announced M, niton's election by a majority of ono or two thous and moro than it really is. Wo tlid not ourselves, when referring to this election Uie other iltty, apprise our readers of Uio whole extent of the Whig victory. Besides a majority in each branch of the Legislature, upon which will devolvo the election of an United States Senator for six years, we havo carried two of tho three mombcrs of Congress. Should the Stato bodtstrictedonew,ondonoUiorclection ordered, it is altogether probablo tho Whigs would curry three of lie four members to which tho State is entitled under the new apportionment. " It is a very silly business to be crowing beforo one is out of the woods." Thank you, Mr. Statesman, for Uiat word. ty-one. dury, Brough, &c, are understood to be in great tra vail. Perhaps something will be born next week. The Senate yostorday voted to adjourn on Uie 8th of August FRIDAY EVENING, JULY SKI. 1842. THE OHIO PENITENTIARY.

MASON. A VILLANOUS ASSUMPTION. The Stato Printer, in the course of a vituperative arlicle reflecting personally upon tho editor of this paper, sums up tho catalogue of his oflcnecs with tho following observation: 14 Such is Uie man who stales that tho proprietor of tho Journal, Mr. Scott, would have iifrjurtd himself if his Whig friends had suggested to him that it was necessary." Ordinarily we pay no attention to Uio fulsclioods which darken tho columns of the Statesman and especially ore wo indifferent to them when they affect us personalty. Tho reputation of tho Statu Printer for truth and veracity, renders the contradiction of his inventions a wt rk of entire supcrerogntion. It is only when something monstrous beyond Uie common stamp makes its appearance under his hand, that wo feel bound especially to honor its author by a recurrence to his mendacious habits. The quotation abovo contains a lie uf the M first msgnitude," and conies within our rile of exceptions. The oditor of Utis paper lias never written or published a word, which in Uio remotest degrco authorises tho vile assumption taken by the editor of Uiat paper. The imputed statement is an out-and-out fabrication, the coinago of a mint that might tnke precedence of his who is sometimes called in circumlocutory terms the " Father of lies." been unable precisely to learn. The idea seems to prevail, that the people nave no right to be informed of the conduct of their servants. Wo have called upon tho Columbus press for the for tho facts in vain. The Journal is dumb the Statesman can't speak the Freeman is perfectly quiet and tho Old School Republican is engaged with isationai attairs. Among mem all no intormo- tion is given. We had expected belter things ol tho Journal but perhaps the absence of Uie Editor of that paper may account for its silence. We want intormaiion the people havo a right to it As the press has been silenced, shall wo not find some member of the majority in the legislature in-dtpendent enough to coll out this information? Sure- ly our old and well-tried iJcmocrntic triend, Jenkins, Irorn Columbiana, will huve tho courage and manliness to movo in this tnnlter, if no one else does, nnd give Uio required information to Uio public. Wo shall see. Wo extract the above from tho Cincinnati Gazette. It is true, aa Uie Gazette surmises, that we were absent at the time the chnngo alluded to took place. But we have not been altogether "dumb " since we returned. We have made reiterated calls upon Uio Statesman for information respecting Van Hook's removal and tho elevation of Stadden to Uio vacant place, but in vain. It is Uie Statesman, knowing all tho facts, that stands mute. It is through tho collusion of that print with the Directors, that (he people are kept in ignorance of what concerns Uiem intimately, in the management of Uie Penitentiary. Tho Gazette must recollect that all the officers of Uie Penitentiary are Loco Focos, and u honor among thieves" u their motto. Nothing that can be concealed is allowed to come to light, lest the party might suffer for-thc misconduct of its clioscn agents. We have mode various elhirts to unravel Uio mvstcry which shrouds the circumstances of the recent changes at the Penitentiary, but we have not succeeded in ascertaining any important facts which we could communicate to the public with assurances of their authenticity, and wo aro not accustomed to give currency to uncertain rumors. Wo only hear that Von Hook wns detected in numerous malversa tions, which jttstfy his removal a hundred times over, and wo aro not certain but they would warrant his restoration in snoUier capacity: and yet notwithstanding his dismissal for ample cause known tu the directors, ho received from them, as the Gazette intimates, a certificate of good conduct ! No man could hnve borno himself with moro meekness and resignation under affliction, and ho has gone home to run for a seat in Uio Legislature from Butler co. Should ho be returned to tho Legislature by way of indem nification (or his loss of oflico here, wo know not what should restrain the " Democracy " of Stark from bestowing a similar measure of public consideration upon Saunders Van Itensulaer, for Am martyrdom likewise. Wro hope Una explanation will be satisfactory to Uie Gazette, and that Uiat paper will unite with us in calling upon Uie Statesman for such a public and explicit exposition of the causes of the late changes in tho Penitentiary, aa Uieir importance demands. The people are anxious to know the whole history of the transaction, and Uicy have a right to insist up. on being informed. Tho massivo walls of that in stitution were not designed to cover up the iniquities which its superintendents may bo guilty of pcrctra ting. Tho public havo a right to know every Uiing, to the end that justico and credit may be duly meted out where they aro deserved. Will the Statesman open his oracular lips, and gratify Uie prevailing curiosity on the subject of Penitentiary reforms ? Connected with Uie Prison, there is a topic which wo think of opening for discussion without waiting for the assistance of the State Printer. Wo refer to tho character, qualifications and claims of tho pre sent Warden. Wo think wo shall be ablo to Uirow a flood of light upon tho morals of I.oco Focoism as illustrated in tho appointment of this individual to the office which Mr. Van Hook filled so satisfactorily to Uio directors. Wo have in our possession somo facts which must convince the pcnplu of tho exist ence of the most enormous corruptions in high places, and of Uio indispensable necessity of a thorough re form in Uie civil and political administration uf their flairs. THE BALL ROLLING. Wo extract the following from the Memphis (Ten nessee) Knquirer, from which it will be seen that tho hall for " honest John Davis " is fairly in motion, Tho Enquirer's reasons for associating Gov. Davis with tho " pride of Uio West meet our heartyconcurrence. HONEST JOHN DAVIS. Wo are not olono in our preferences for this noblo son uf Massachusetts as tho Whig cnndidoto for Vice President. Simultaneously with our sugges tion of his name, Whig nowspopers and ''Cloy Clubs" all over tho country wcro holding him up as the most suitable llinn to be placed sido by Bide with "llAav of tho West," in tho great battle of Irlt. Wearotorhiin 1st. Hecause he is an hon est man and a true Whig. lid. Because he will give confidence and strengih to our ticket in the North, where we most need it: lor no man living can stremrthen Henry t lay in the West and .South. And 3d. Because, should it please God to removo President Clay by death, the country would have in Jon Davis, a man of ability and patriotism to con duct the government, who would faithfully carry out the salutary principles of the parly which brought him into power. But hear how Uiey talk uf " honest juim in uniot been generally anticipated, is not a little strange. Tho hypothetical form in which these imputations are thrown upon the Secretary of State, docs not mitt igato their force. It turns out nowi 'hot only one messenger was despatched for Mexico, as any one particularly friendly to Mr. Webstor might possibly have conjectnred when the contrary statement appeared. The languago of tho Republican betrnys, we fear a " foregone conclusion," in the immediate circle of Mr. Tyler's adherents towards the distin guished Secretary. It has been said by some of Mr. Webster ardent admirers, that no public man has ever exhibtcd a moro "self-sacrificing devotion" for the good of his country than he has by retoining his scat in Uio cab inet and giving the nntion Uio benefit of his commanding abilities. Whatever Mr. Webster's motives may have been, Uiis token from Uie Republican of the esteem in which his services are held by those who have profited most by Uiem, would seem to give point to the remark that his attachment to office had been "self-sacrificing." The body of Uio Whig party, however much Uicy may have occasion toadiuiro his unsurpassed abilities, have not approved of his ad herence to Uie administration. If Uie language of Uie Republican quoted abovo is a specimen of the testimonials with which those he has served, (we will not say with moro fidelity than he has his country,) arc prepared to dismiss him from his high station, his devotcdness must prove in the end to have been "self sacrificing," indeed. THE LEGISLATURE. We hove no report yet from Uio committee of twenty-one. Both Houses adjourned this morning immediately after Uio hour of meeting, Uiere being no business to act upon. Wo cannot learn that any intimations hove been given, when a bill for making tho apportionment may be expected. The conflict ing claims of Uie rival candidates in tho IiCgislaturo fur a translation to Congress are doubtless found to bo of exceeding difficult adjusUncnt The people must wait patiently for Uie event the majority are not legislating for them, but for themselves. P. S. Since tho above was m type, we leam that tho committee have had a meeting. Little or noth ing has been done, or at least has transpired, beyond the adoption of a resolution fixing Uie maximum and minimum rates of population for tho new districts. None are to bo organized higher Uian Hamilton county, or having less than (14,000 inhabitants. It has also been determined in committee not to divide counties, and to conform to the act of Congress re specting elections by single districts. TIIE STATE CONVENTION. The Young Men's Loco Foco Stato Convention passed off yesterday precisely as we had anticipated. A faithful and graphic account of Uio proceed ings ill bo found in another column. It was a dull tame, spiritless affair in truth, a perfect failure. The original call wos for a delegated Convention. Wo should like to know how many counties in Utc State really appointed delegates to attend it A few vol unteers only from sotnoof Uie neighboring counties, with a forced conscription from Uiis city and county mado up tho wholo assemblage in all, to bo liberal, perhaps an hundred or hundred and fifty persons, not a quarter of whom wero from abroad. We did not find sufficient leisure to go to the Theatre during Uie day, but wo stopped at Uio Market House in Uie eve ning, where wo saw Uio sorry number of an hundred or two hundred persons, mostly townspeople and Whigs, listening with great composure to somo very poor speuking. Some gentlemen who may be relied on most implicitly, enumerated tho ConvenUon as it left the Theatre in tho afternoon, and found it not to exceed 250 in all, including Whigs, spectators and residents of Uie city and county. It any Loco r oco has flattered himself Uiat his party was animated wim the least degree of enthusiasm, or stood the slightest chance of success at the polls, we imagine n sight of ycslorduy's farce would have Uio effect to dissipate all such delusive expectations. The Convention has shown Uie imrty to be in a stato of col lapse, and all Uio otiergiea of tho interested leaders cannot restore it to vitality and power. Reported for the Ohio Stale Journal. LOCOFOCO CONVENTION. As was predicted, the State Convention of young Locofocos, turns out to be rather a slender affair. After all the drumming of forces and sound of bu gles, a meeting of some three hundred, of all sorts, sizes, ages and condiUons were got together in the Theatre. The day was excessively hot yet the theatre being a large room, afforded ample accommodations, so far as space was concerned, for Uio convention and spectators. We huve no means of ascertaining what portion of those in attendance were properly members of the Convention ; but from our limited acquaintance with Uie persons, and Uie comparative number of those whom we recognized as Whigs, or aa residents of Columbus, who were mere lookers-on, we are warranted in computing Uiat fully one third may be set down as of the latter clas ses. It is a fact, too, that many are in Uie City at present, who were attracted hither at this time, expecting to witness the military display which was anticipated from the contemplated Encampment somo with an expectation of witnessing an ascent by Clayton, in his balloon and some as visitors to Uie Legislature during its Extra Session. All these causes contributed to swell the attendance at Uie Convention, and to moke up Uie number of about Uiree hundred. The Convention was organized by calling Mr. .Illen G, Thurman, of Ross county, to Uie chair. Mr. Thurman is a nephew of Senator Allen ; but every way his superior intellectually, professionally, morally, or socially. He acquits himself handsomely as a presiding officer. So far so good. After the Convention waa organized, a letter from Senator Allen was produced and read. It was a mortal long letter, and tired down two clerks in the reading. It was, moreover, much upon the Bill Allen strain ; and Uioso who, two years ago, saw him exhibiting Col. Johnson's paw, may from Uiis description form a tolerably correct idea of Uio letter but if they have a curiosity for a moro minute Acquaintance with this literary and political effort of an Ohio Senator, wo refer them to the Ohio Statesman for the Convention agreed to have it printed. One portion of the letter was devoted to complaint at the length of tho Session of Congress Uio next, to denunciations of the rulo which restricts tho speeches to ono hours' duration each. In ono sentence, Congress is upbraided for Uio little it has accomplished in another, Capt Tyler is lauded for the intervention of the Executive wfo, by which Uio action of Congress is rendered nugatory. We instance theBC among numerous similar specimens of the chop-logic with which Uiis Solon would enlighten Uie "Young Mcn"of Ohio. After Allen's letter had been gono through with, one from Senator Tappan was introduced and read. The elder Senator manifested more wisdom in his lcttor Uian his colleague, inasmuch as it was reasonably brief. In one portion of it he alluded to his advancing ago and with an air of grave morality, spoko of " shaking off this mortal coil " at Uie close of which a portion of tho Convention manifes ted approbation by Binitmg with their hands, and stomping with Uieir feet Tina was rather irreverent and unkind towards Uie old Senator; and some thought it at much as to soy they valued his place higher than his services others would excuse Uie act by imputing it to Uie juvenile indiscretion of the audience. Alter the reading of Uie epistles senatorial, a com mittee of five was raised, of which a Mr. Flood was head, and a general somebody was tail, to wait upon Gov. Shannon, and ask hun to address uie Conven Uon in the afternoon. Then camo a proposition for anoUier committee to prepare resolutions and with NORTHEASTERN BOUNDARY. We are authorized to say that a conventional line of boundary, with its various conditions and equiva lents, nas been agreec on ny uie rjiecuuve and the British Swcial Envoy, with Uie unanimous consent of Uie Commissioners of Maine and Massachusetts.' We congratulate all parties nnon Uub happy and hon orable result, Tebms. We hove reason to know Uiat the Con missioners of Uio two States of Maine and Massachusetts have signified their assent to a line of boundary between Maine and New Brunswick. Every body knows that Uie territory in disputo embraces all Uie region of Uie Upper St Johns, and the general understanding now is, Uiat Uiis region is to he divided into unequal parts ; the largest and by far the most valuable, to be assigned to Maine, together with considerations, connected with Uie nav- iirntion ot Uie St Johns, both sides ot the lower or which belong to England,) of the greatest importance to Uie value of the timber growing on its branches. OUier important arrangements lu different parts of Uie line, hitherto unsetUed, in various places between Maine and Uie Lake ot the Woods. are rumored as likely to take place. Matlisonian. We copy tho following examination of prisoners at Providence, from Uie Evening Chronicle of Uiat city. It is rich, it must be confessed, and the result probably will not bo very pleasant for Uie New York patriot Air. looiey will unu it troublesome, we doubt not before he gets out of the hsnds of Uie " Algerines" so called, we suppose, because they defend their own firesides. As to Uie " captain ot Uio Spartan Band and Temperance Lecturer," he may mako up his.mind probably, to be demanded of the Governor of Uiis State. EXAMINATION OP PRISONERS. Lyman Coo'.ry, of New York.

"Hard money" doc trines may answer in some meridians but in others, it would prove no go. Mr. John Brough was nomi nated on Uie committee of resolutions but the modtsl youUi begged to be excused I Ho had already been accused of dictating to his party and for that reason would rather not be named on the committee for preparing resolutions. Some would kindly have excused him, but others said nay, for that John was die very lad for that kind of business. It was understood Uiat Bruugh's delicacy in Uio matter grew out of Uio unfortunate feud existing in Uio "democratic ranks," produced by Uie traitor Hamcr, and one speaker in alluding to Uie matter, took occasion to apologise for mentioning such a namo in such a presence! Afler some tribulation, the committco was named, and Uie Convention adjourned for dinner. In Uio afternoon Gov. Shannon waa introduced, and harangued the meeting for about three hours. His speech was altogether such an one as few could have anticipated. We will not undertake a description of it for we should foil in the attempt; but content ourselves for Uio present by saying Uiat His Excellency played at open-and-shut in a manner which would not reflect credit upon any Sophomore in the State. Hie deductions woro forced and distorted, and drawn generally from premises not warranted by facta. He said and repeated, that fully one-half of Uie surplus Hoyle's Tavern : did not seo Uie Governor of Uio State of Rhodo Island and Providence Plantations on the night of Uie 17th; remained in Providence till the lollowmg Sunday; by the Governor, I mean Thomas Wilson Dorr, son of SulivanDorr; returned to Chepachct when 1 left Providence; I sometimes lecture ; am a talented man, and every body knowe it ; have been to Woonsocket once to carry an express; was at Chepachet when the embankment was Uirown up on Uie hill ; hove attended no secret suf frage meetings; have held nooflioe; havo not had the confidence of the leaders ; carried nails on the mil at Lhepachct; acted Uiere as clerk; waa not Uorrs privato Secretary; remained at the encamp ment ; was Uiere till a despatch was received from Governor Dorr; left Uie encampment on Monday; the substance of Uie despatch from Uie Governor was lor uie troops to disperse Uiat is, cut dirt; havo been called the "industrious Scth Luther;" was taken by a Mr. Cook ; had on a sword when arrested ; con wield a pen bettor than a sword ; can't do much wun eiuier, u mo truui was known; wore a sword nn the ground; did so to distinguish myself aa clerk.

There was a rousing meeting at the " Clay Club lost evening. A large number of our citizens, mostly business men, hard-handed mechanics, and enthusi astic young men, came forward and subscribed their names to the articles of association. We wero pleased to witness tho hearty good will wiUi which many of tho new members "declared their intentions." al though Uieir autographs exhibited marks of more familiarity with Uie tools of the work shop or field, than with tho "grey goose quill." The Engine House was filled to overflowing at an early hour, nnd many retired unable to find room. Tho Club waa addressed in masterly and effective speeches by Messrs. Oi.ns, Sciik.iik and Root, of Uio Legis lature, who wore listened to with much interest and satisfaction. Mr. Olds' stylo of siioaking is that of plain, practicnl common sense, (Uio best sense in Uio world, and sometimes believed to bo the rarest) and of solid, substantial argument Ilo delineated and exposed Uie hypocritical pretensions of the " Bank Reformers " to the life, and showed to Uie entire conviction of his hearers, (if conviction was wanted) dial to trust them longer was to invoke niter ruin upon tho State. Mr. Schenck is a varied but forci ble speaker passing from " gravo to gay, from live ly to severe," n irresistible effect His unpre meditated remarks last evening were received with Uio warmest testimonials of approbation. Mr. Root wings a pointed sliafl, under an appoaranco of wit and humor, that hardly irritatet when it sinks doop GRATITUDE FOR YOU! A writer is permitted to characterize John Tyler, in the Statesman, aa having "shown in the Presiden tial chair, a weak and vascillating mind I" That s a pretty return fur the advertisements published in tho Statesman, from one of the Departments under Uiis same John Tyler. The some writer thinks, that notwithstanding Uie weakness and vascillating character of the Execu tive, the Whigs are much to blame for not supporting him. The Whigs may he tasked for their inconsistency in not doing so, but as the Loco Foco party have kindly assumed tho defence and maintenance of John Tyler's acts and principles, wo beg to be excused. Nm.l.lEIfMTIliN Itl'ltl Kl.ll IN MlrWIl'RI Tho instruments of Bentun, who do all tho labor of thinking and directing political affairs for Uie people of Missouri, havo resolved upon nullifying tho act of Congress, requiring the election of members of Congress by districts. The people, however, are unwilling to countenance Uiis gross violation of tho vital principle Uiat holds Uie union togeUier. The Whigs will take nn part in the election for Congress next woek. Throughout tho Stole, Loco Foco candidates are proposing for tho Legislature upon the pledge to do away with Uie general Ucket system, and conform to Uie act of Congress, The probabili ty is, Uiat the Legislature will ho composed of the friends of the District system, who will apportion Uio State and order a new election next winter.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 87, 1842. THE LEGISLATURE. The indication! in both Houses are pretty conclusive that no bus iness will bo taken up during the extra session, beyond that for which the meeting has heon specially assembled, viz: the apportionment of the State, and possibly some measure of relief for the canal contractors. It will have been noticed that Col. Chambers' motion in the House to dispense with the printing of ordinary bills, has been carried by a large vote. This of course cuts off Mcdary's expectations of swelling the expenditure for public printing, which his friends will find to be quite large enough when a statement is published. Tito pertinent and judicious remarks of Mr. Schenck, on the Bubject of the action of the two Houses, for this present session, in the Daily, (and also in our Weokly,) to-day, will attract the attention of our reodcrs here and elsewhere. The matter of the apportionment makes no progress, perceptible to the general eye. It will have been observed, that a joint committee of twenty-one hn. heon raised to rcDort a bill to district the State. We hear many rumors respecting the feeling in the Loco Foco portion of the committee, but perhaps none entirely authentic. It is believed that several of lite members came hero pre-dclcrmincd to chalk out the Congressional districts without regord to county lines. This scheme of course originated with those candidates whoso designs could not bo nhaorvpil hv an old fashionod anoortionmont But the nlan meets with unexpected opposition in tlto " party," numbers of the majority making no secret of their intention to vote it down without hesitation. We do not beliovo there is another legislature in tlto Union where political management obtains to suclt an extent, as it docs in this State. Although the outward form of placing Whigs upon the committees is observed, yet tho idea of consulting them in the deliberations of the committee is never thought of. The joint commitlco, by the operation of this rule, havo not been called together, yet, although it is now the middle of tlto week.no; will they bo until the political maioritv of the committee have agreed upon their measure. Those are now enrnostly engaged, but it is whispered that great diversities ol opinion prevail among litem. Tho prospect, to-day, is that theplanof dividing counties will be rejected if not in committee, still when tho subject is presented to the two Houses. Another day will probably bring us more certain devolopcuionls. ROSS COUNTY MEETING. Tin Whim of Ross have taken the field with en- .,, ,! nnthiMiiuiiii. Quito a laruo meeting of the Whigs was held at the Court House in Clullinn. tho on the ltiUt inst. The proceedings are thus noticed by the "Gazette." "OLD ROSS ERECT! "Wo refer with pride and pleasure to tho proceed-in of the County meeting held in this city, on Saturday last. Tho resolutions bruatho tho wholesome republican spirit which has ever animated a large majority of our citizens, sinco tho division of parties in Jellerson's lime. If we can pretend loany knowledge of tho sentiments of tho Whigs of Koss, we will not be contradicted when wo say that, as fur as they go, tho resolutions speak the uiiuminous voice of our people in this region. Whether it bo by Van Iluren or by Tyler, no matter whore ever uud by whomsoever prerogatives are usurped by any Department of Government, tho Whigs of Koss are in-.,..nt ;n uiimilimr the voice of rebuke and alarm. The meeting on Saturday was well-attended bet-1 tor than was exacted, consiuenug mm ltoiiu. our farmers wore engaged in securing their crow. UoUi from the numbers ho attended, and from tlto .i...ni-r nf the incutinir. tlicro wcro civen the best assurances tint when the timo of trial shall arrive, tho Whigs of our County will uo uioir irnoio uuiy. The meeting was eloquently addressed by Gen. Worlhington and Col. Taylcr. Resolutions expressed in strong languago, in favor of a Tariff, of the public land distribution, denunciatory of tho President's Vetoes, and in favor of Mr. Cloy, as well as other minor topics, woro adopted Unanimously as also were tho following preamplo and resolutions, respectfully requesting Mr. Tyler to vacate tho station which ho dishonors: Mr. 'I, D. Doddridge offered the following resolutions, which, alter duo consideration wore unanimously adopted : Whereas, The Government of tho United States inMlitlllftll fur the benefit of tho People, and should be administered with solo reference to their advantage: And whereas, it is the first duly of thoso who may bo called to administer the government, to consult the popular sentiment, and in nil things within tho palo of tho Constitution to conform their olli-cial ails to the expressed wishes of tho People, regardless of their own individual conceptions of expediency, or, as an alternative, to vncate their official stations, and thus to enable the People, through other aircnui, to siuin their wishes: And whereas, it has been made hut too apparent, from Uio experiment of the last fifteen months, that the present incumbent in tho Presidential orlico cannot successfully administer the Government, or discharge the high responsibilities of that exalted station, in a manner acceptable to those through whose suffrages he was elevated to the second oliice in the Republic ; Therefore, . , Retailed, As nur deliberate conviction, that it Is the duty of John Tyler, as tho only means which he l,. i.n i himself of cnublinrr the People to carry n l.mr .nntimrnta. as expressed in the olection of the lamented William Henry Harrison to the Chief Magistracy of the United States, to vacate mo rro-ideiuml ollke j and we do hereby, earnestly and respectfully, request the said John Tyler forthwith to resign said oltice. i Ittsolveil, That a copy of the foregoing preamble n.l resolution, Bttcatcd bv the officers of tins mect- hn forwarded to John Tvlcr, and to each mem ber of the Senate and House of Representatives of the Congress of tho United Slates, FOREIGN ARRIVAL The Acadia has arrived at Boston, aftor a pasaago of 17 days.

The Butt-Enders and tlto Spartan Bond, just returned from an expedition against Rhode Island, took possession of the stand, and conducted the affair in their own way. Some resolutions were passed, but they could not have proved very acceptable to his Accidency. It is doubted whether tho Old School Republican will republish tho accounts. STEAMBOAT EXPLOSIONS. The Steamboat Edna recently burst her boilers on. tho Mississippi, near St Louis, by which circum stance some 40 to SO persons, mostly German emi grants, lost their lives. About the some time, (within the present month,) the Shamrock, steamer, exploded on the St Lawrence, near Montreal, whoroby fifty-eight (ond it is believed many more) persons lost their lives ; mostly omigrants. When will tlicro ever bo an end to these murderous casualties ? PENNSYLVANIA. The Legislature of this State havo been several weeks in session, endeavoring to district the State for Mombcrs of Congress. A cominitteo of the House reported a bill, which thut body rejected. The bill from tho Senate met with a like fate. An other bill from the House was rejected by the Senate. A cominitteo of conference was then oppointed to agree upon a common plan, but they have separated and reported respectively that tlioy cannut harmonize tiie existing difficulties. SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. Mr. Forward has been confined by severe and dangerous illness. From the notices of his condition in the Washington papers, we should infer that his recovery was considered doubtful. STATE STOCKS. We aro glad to see Ohio State Stocks recovering in the New York market The lost nttos reported stand at 71)1, an advance of 24 per cent TREATY WITH ENGLAND. The Commissioners of Maine have agreed to como into the arrangement for tho adjustment of the N. E. Boundary. THE NEGOTIATION. Tt is understood that the Secretory of State, on bo-half of the United States, the Commissioners of Massachusetts, and tho Sjiccial Minister of Great Britain, have agreed on the basis of a Convention for tho settlement of tho Northeastern Boundary question. What tho terms of this agreement are, is of course unknown to us. Tho Commissioners of Maine had not decided yesterday whether they would agree or disagree to them; butas it is not to bo sup-. pused that tho distinguished citizens representing the United States and the Stutn of Massachusetts would uccedo to any tonus which Maine ought to decline, wo ure bound to believe that the Commissioners of that Stato M ill not withhold their assent to the arrangement agreed on by their coadjutors in tho negotiation. We feel ourselves authorized, therefore, to congratulate our renders and the whole coun-tty on the near prospect of an amicable adjustment, at last, uf this long-glanding and disquieting difficulty. The thanks of both countries will be due, ond will be freely paid, to the able and patriotic men who will have hrou-jlit it to a peaceful and huppy is sue. .Yulional Inlet, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 28, lK4i BArlK DESTRUCTIVE STATE CONVENTION. (h advance of the Btaltman.) This multitudinous gathering began to precipitate itself upon oor city last evening. We ourselves saw four strangers, looking like delegates, drive up Hich street from the South. Some ten or a dozen found quarters at the Amorican, three aro four at Oyler's, and the rest were comfortably bestowed in different places. N. B. The town was quiet through tho night 8 o'clock Mis morning. The delegation from Fair field has just arrived. It consists of two men in a buggy, bearing a flag. The enthusiasm in the streets is great Coon skins have fallen 50 per cent. 10 A. M. The Convention are assembling in the Theatre. From 70 to a hundred delegates principally from this city and county, and about two hundred Whigs, find the place of meeting an agreeable retreat from the heat of tho sun. . 11 o'clock. A letter is being road from Petticoat Allen. The meeting are listening to the Senator's valedictory with becoming attention. The countenances of many seem to say, " when shall we look upon his like again." 12. Tho Convention are going to get their prog. A committee is appointed to wait on Gov.

The Statesman copies our apportionment, and ac-con panies it with an insinuation that the population in tho several districts is not sufficiently equalized. Vory well : we are glad to hear such an opinion from that quarter.

The meeting lost evouing was the opening of the campaign on the part of the Whigs of Columbus. Tho attendance was good, and we went away satis fied with the spirit that is evidently at work among our friends. From this time forward we are assured they will discharge their duty. MR. WEBSTER AND TIIE TYLER PAPERS. We copied a few days sinco, a paragraph from the Baltimore American, stating that lAree messengers passed through that city for the west, with despatches for Mexico. It struck our mind that the employment of three persons for such a purposo was entire ly improper, and an useless charge upon the Treasury ; and stated such to bo our impressions in this paper. The Cincinnati Republican, one ot the confidential organs of the President noticed our re marks in Die following querulous strain: " It is bv such stories as the above, that the ultra Whig papers seek to defame the administration. A portion of thorn claim that Mr. Webster is the enemy of the President ; and that he is only waiting the conclusion of pending negotiations ; and then, will resign the office he holds, and join in, pell mell, with those who seek to destroy John Tyler. Another portion attempt to blacken Ins character oy the publication of such slanders as we quote from theJournal.

The practical working of Una rule is commending it to the favor of Uio People. CongMsa lias never had any rcgiilution which operated so admirably. For insinnce, five or six days wcro allotted to a general debate on the pending Tariff bill. Now, under tho old rules, or want ot rules, some two or three leather-lunged, brazen-bruwed demagogues would have consumed this wholo allotment between tliem in utterly irrcvelenl denmgoguisiuon mutters in general, designed " for Buncombe " in particular. Instead of this, under the one-hour rule, there were fijly-nine speeches delivered, tlinty-lwo in favor of and twenty-seven against the inn, unu eacn generally pertinent to the matter. On the last lull day, no leas limn siitetn of those speeches were delivered, which, but fur tho rule, mould have consumed a fortnight. And these speeches arc much better, as well as easier read, than the old ones. A man wo gets up knowing he has but one hour to speak will bu apt to talk at once to the question, if ho knows any tlnng about it; but g've him a luoso rein, and a modern political orator, proceeds to " free Ins mind " of what over else may be tqion it first and, when "the water is all rowed out" turns to tiio subject beforo the House. And thus a modest member, especially if a new one, had hardly a chance to be lieurd at all on any absorbing quoelion. Tho bell-weothcrs talked till they hod exhausted tho pntience ol Uie House and Uio Nation: at lust they concluded it was time to havo done, and so "sat out" Uie debate, ono or tiro of Uiem talking at midnight till the House would hear no moro, and insisted on taking the question. All Uits is happily obviated by uie one-hour rule. Every man has a chance to spenk ; and some of Uie best speeches this session havo been made by men who novor beforo addressed tho Chair. Then, by fixing a period in advance at which tho debate shull close, every member who chooses can bo surely on hand, and Uio question is decided by a full house, and in Uio small hours of morning by men so sleepy and liquor-steeped as not to know winch way they are voting. A noblo regulation in every way is the one-hour rulo with its adjunct; and, Uiotigh those who resist and obstruct every Uiintr vet curse Con gress for doing nnUiing, opposa and traduco it, yet we aro sure it is approved by uie grout mass ol Uio People. .Vein lor Tribune.

Ilo has been the iimneiliate and direct means of dclt-sting the three great lending measures, iion which tho lug Par ty came into power, i ne establishment ol a ticrmo- ment system of revenue, having especial regard to Uie protection of the products and industry of tho country tho distribution of tho proceeds of the mono l,ands among the Mates and the establishment of an instiltition for tho safo keeping and manntrrtnent of tho nublic mnnevs. snd In as sist in cqiiiilizing the exchanges of the country.

Each and every of these measures, John lyler lias tnntst lumsell lorwnrd tonpposo and defeat Elevated to high olliro, by the Whigs, he ban most cruelly defrauded them. Tho position which he held in the Whig Party, previously to the election his false anil hypocritical pretence of a strong personal snd political attachment of Mr. Clay, received tho Whigs at Ilnrrisburg into Uio belief that he was true to their cause. Woakness and vanity are Uio predominant traits of his mind. Ashal-low-patcd sclf'sulliciency governs his ronduct. " Each vacuity sense" is filled with pride. If Iho whole Nation was not suffering to deeply to allow place for mirth, it would be matter of merriment that a great People should, by their own choice, and by any fortuitous occurrence, have happened to elevato to llieir highest otlico, a man whoso mind is miido up of such a shapeless nnd incongruous mass of mate rials, mat no ono ol them is at all adapted to tho purposo to which it is nlti'tnpti'd to be applied. It would bo almost impossible to select a man more entirely incompetent tu tho olhce which he holds, than this man Joim Tri.ua. The whole country is un in arms against hiin and the most joyful news that could now oo brought to salute tho ears ot this sullurnig people, would be the announcement Uiat the said John Tyler had acknowledged Ins incompetency to manago Uio affairs of the government and had litlly and finally resigned his oliice. If he could possibly, by any process, be aroused to a sense of his own incapacity, if he has any dormant feeling of patriotism that could be awakened, ho would adopt this course at once, and confer upon his country Uie greatest blessing which is in an power to bestow. IMon Mat. A DEMONSTRATION. Notwithstanding the good service which tho political abolitionists ore endeavoring to render to the Loco Foco party, the leaders in Uio Legislature have come together again apparently as full of mulignunt spite towards their auxiliaries, as Ihoy wero during Uie regular session of last winter Dr. Bailey, editor of the Cincinnati Philanthropist said a few weeks since, that tlicro was every prospect that the Whigs and Loco Focos wcro about to change positions, with respect to their relations with tho Aboli tion party : that there were reasons for believing that tho Loco Focus woro disposed to treat them with Uie most liberality, and that consequently they could not be found fur apart for the future. That political abolitionism means aid and comfort to tho Loco Foco party, Uicro can be no doubt ; but towards the great objects, in a moral point of view, contemplated by that portion of the Abolition party who repudi-ato political action, we do not see that the leading Loco Focos arc more favorably inclined than beforo. Mr. Byington, one of the magnates of the party, has embraced an early opportunity to spit out his venom upon tho Abolitionists of every grade. In the House, yesterday, upon a motion to receive a petition, Mr. Byington said ho was in favor of its reoeption. " Tho indications wcro that tho people wonted legislation. He was for receiving and referring all kinds of petitions NIGGER petitions eiceplcd." For this manifestation of good feeling towards the cause which the Abolitionists profess to have at heart, the politicians among them, who are bent upon destroying Uio Whigs ond building up the Ico Focos, will of course demonstrate their sense of gratitude and respect WHERE'S THAT ROOSTER I WHERE'S CHAP MAN I Tho Statesman is as dumb as an oyster upon Uio result of tho louisiana election. Its rooster has gono into a state of rctiraey, since ho announced M, niton's election by a majority of ono or two thous and moro than it really is. Wo tlid not ourselves, when referring to this election Uie other iltty, apprise our readers of Uio whole extent of the Whig victory. Besides a majority in each branch of the Legislature, upon which will devolvo the election of an United States Senator for six years, we havo carried two of tho three mombcrs of Congress. Should the Stato bodtstrictedonew,ondonoUiorclection ordered, it is altogether probablo tho Whigs would curry three of lie four members to which tho State is entitled under the new apportionment. " It is a very silly business to be crowing beforo one is out of the woods." Thank you, Mr. Statesman, for Uiat word. ty-one. dury, Brough, &c, are understood to be in great tra vail.

MASON. A VILLANOUS ASSUMPTION. The Stato Printer, in the course of a vituperative arlicle reflecting personally upon tho editor of this paper, sums up tho catalogue of his oflcnecs with tho following observation: 14 Such is Uie man who stales that tho proprietor of tho Journal, Mr. Scott, would have iifrjurtd himself if his Whig friends had suggested to him that it was necessary." Ordinarily we pay no attention to Uio fulsclioods which darken tho columns of the Statesman and especially ore wo indifferent to them when they affect us personalty. Tho reputation of tho Statu Printer for truth and veracity, renders the contradiction of his inventions a wt rk of entire supcrerogntion. It is only when something monstrous beyond Uie common stamp makes its appearance under his hand, that wo feel bound especially to honor its author by a recurrence to his mendacious habits. The quotation abovo contains a lie uf the M first msgnitude," and conies within our rile of exceptions. The oditor of Utis paper lias never written or published a word, which in Uio remotest degrco authorises tho vile assumption taken by the editor of Uiat paper. The imputed statement is an out-and-out fabrication, the coinago of a mint that might tnke precedence of his who is sometimes called in circumlocutory terms the " Father of lies." been unable precisely to learn. The idea seems to prevail, that the people nave no right to be informed of the conduct of their servants. Wo have called upon tho Columbus press for the for tho facts in vain. The Journal is dumb the Statesman can't speak the Freeman is perfectly quiet and tho Old School Republican is engaged with isationai attairs. Among mem all no intormo- tion is given. We had expected belter things ol tho Journal but perhaps the absence of Uie Editor of that paper may account for its silence. We want intormaiion the people havo a right to it As the press has been silenced, shall wo not find some member of the majority in the legislature in-dtpendent enough to coll out this information? Sure- ly our old and well-tried iJcmocrntic triend, Jenkins, Irorn Columbiana, will huve tho courage and manliness to movo in this tnnlter, if no one else does, nnd give Uio required information to Uio public. Wo shall see. Wo extract the above from tho Cincinnati Gazette. It is true, aa Uie Gazette surmises, that we were absent at the time the chnngo alluded to took place. But we have not been altogether "dumb " since we returned. We have made reiterated calls upon Uio Statesman for information respecting Van Hook's removal and tho elevation of Stadden to Uio vacant place, but in vain. It is Uie Statesman, knowing all tho facts, that stands mute. It is through tho collusion of that print with the Directors, that (he people are kept in ignorance of what concerns Uiem intimately, in the management of Uie Penitentiary. Tho Gazette must recollect that all the officers of Uie Penitentiary are Loco Focos, and u honor among thieves" u their motto. Nothing that can be concealed is allowed to come to light, lest the party might suffer for-thc misconduct of its clioscn agents. We have mode various elhirts to unravel Uio mvstcry which shrouds the circumstances of the recent changes at the Penitentiary, but we have not succeeded in ascertaining any important facts which we could communicate to the public with assurances of their authenticity, and wo aro not accustomed to give currency to uncertain rumors. Wo only hear that Von Hook wns detected in numerous malversa tions, which jttstfy his removal a hundred times over, and wo aro not certain but they would warrant his restoration in snoUier capacity: and yet notwithstanding his dismissal for ample cause known tu the directors, ho received from them, as the Gazette intimates, a certificate of good conduct ! No man could hnve borno himself with moro meekness and resignation under affliction, and ho has gone home to run for a seat in Uio Legislature from Butler co. Should ho be returned to tho Legislature by way of indem nification (or his loss of oflico here, wo know not what should restrain the " Democracy " of Stark from bestowing a similar measure of public consideration upon Saunders Van Itensulaer, for Am martyrdom likewise. Wro hope Una explanation will be satisfactory to Uie Gazette, and that Uiat paper will unite with us in calling upon Uie Statesman for such a public and explicit exposition of the causes of the late changes in tho Penitentiary, aa Uieir importance demands. The people are anxious to know the whole history of the transaction, and Uicy have a right to insist up. on being informed. Tho massivo walls of that in stitution were not designed to cover up the iniquities which its superintendents may bo guilty of pcrctra ting. Tho public havo a right to know every Uiing, to the end that justico and credit may be duly meted out where they aro deserved. Will the Statesman open his oracular lips, and gratify Uie prevailing curiosity on the subject of Penitentiary reforms ? Connected with Uie Prison, there is a topic which wo think of opening for discussion without waiting for the assistance of the State Printer. Wo refer to tho character, qualifications and claims of tho pre sent Warden. Wo think wo shall be ablo to Uirow a flood of light upon tho morals of I.oco Focoism as illustrated in tho appointment of this individual to the office which Mr. Van Hook filled so satisfactorily to Uio directors. Wo have in our possession somo facts which must convince the pcnplu of tho exist ence of the most enormous corruptions in high places, and of Uio indispensable necessity of a thorough re form in Uie civil and political administration uf their flairs. THE BALL ROLLING. Wo extract the following from the Memphis (Ten nessee) Knquirer, from which it will be seen that tho hall for " honest John Davis " is fairly in motion, Tho Enquirer's reasons for associating Gov. Davis with tho " pride of Uio West meet our heartyconcurrence. HONEST JOHN DAVIS. Wo are not olono in our preferences for this noblo son uf Massachusetts as tho Whig cnndidoto for Vice President. Simultaneously with our sugges tion of his name, Whig nowspopers and ''Cloy Clubs" all over tho country wcro holding him up as the most suitable llinn to be placed sido by Bide with "llAav of tho West," in tho great battle of Irlt. Wearotorhiin 1st. Hecause he is an hon est man and a true Whig. lid. Because he will give confidence and strengih to our ticket in the North, where we most need it: lor no man living can stremrthen Henry t lay in the West and .South. And 3d. Because, should it please God to removo President Clay by death, the country would have in Jon Davis, a man of ability and patriotism to con duct the government, who would faithfully carry out the salutary principles of the parly which brought him into power. But hear how Uiey talk uf " honest juim in uniot been generally anticipated, is not a little strange. Tho hypothetical form in which these imputations are thrown upon the Secretary of State, docs not mitt igato their force. It turns out nowi 'hot only one messenger was despatched for Mexico, as any one particularly friendly to Mr. Webstor might possibly have conjectnred when the contrary statement appeared. The languago of tho Republican betrnys, we fear a " foregone conclusion," in the immediate circle of Mr. Tyler's adherents towards the distin guished Secretary. It has been said by some of Mr. Webster ardent admirers, that no public man has ever exhibtcd a moro "self-sacrificing devotion" for the good of his country than he has by retoining his scat in Uio cab inet and giving the nntion Uio benefit of his commanding abilities. Whatever Mr. Webster's motives may have been, Uiis token from Uie Republican of the esteem in which his services are held by those who have profited most by Uiem, would seem to give point to the remark that his attachment to office had been "self-sacrificing." The body of Uio Whig party, however much Uicy may have occasion toadiuiro his unsurpassed abilities, have not approved of his ad herence to Uie administration. If Uie language of Uie Republican quoted abovo is a specimen of the testimonials with which those he has served, (we will not say with moro fidelity than he has his country,) arc prepared to dismiss him from his high station, his devotcdness must prove in the end to have been "self sacrificing," indeed. THE LEGISLATURE. We hove no report yet from Uio committee of twenty-one. Both Houses adjourned this morning immediately after Uio hour of meeting, Uiere being no business to act upon. Wo cannot learn that any intimations hove been given, when a bill for making tho apportionment may be expected. The conflict ing claims of Uie rival candidates in tho IiCgislaturo fur a translation to Congress are doubtless found to bo of exceeding difficult adjusUncnt The people must wait patiently for Uie event the majority are not legislating for them, but for themselves. P. S. Since tho above was m type, we leam that tho committee have had a meeting. Little or noth ing has been done, or at least has transpired, beyond the adoption of a resolution fixing Uie maximum and minimum rates of population for tho new districts. None are to bo organized higher Uian Hamilton county, or having less than (14,000 inhabitants. It has also been determined in committee not to divide counties, and to conform to the act of Congress re specting elections by single districts. TIIE STATE CONVENTION. The Young Men's Loco Foco Stato Convention passed off yesterday precisely as we had anticipated. A faithful and graphic account of Uio proceed ings ill bo found in another column. It was a dull tame, spiritless affair in truth, a perfect failure. The original call wos for a delegated Convention. Wo should like to know how many counties in Utc State really appointed delegates to attend it A few vol unteers only from sotnoof Uie neighboring counties, with a forced conscription from Uiis city and county mado up tho wholo assemblage in all, to bo liberal, perhaps an hundred or hundred and fifty persons, not a quarter of whom wero from abroad. We did not find sufficient leisure to go to the Theatre during Uie day, but wo stopped at Uio Market House in Uie eve ning, where wo saw Uio sorry number of an hundred or two hundred persons, mostly townspeople and Whigs, listening with great composure to somo very poor speuking. Some gentlemen who may be relied on most implicitly, enumerated tho ConvenUon as it left the Theatre in tho afternoon, and found it not to exceed 250 in all, including Whigs, spectators and residents of Uie city and county. It any Loco r oco has flattered himself Uiat his party was animated wim the least degree of enthusiasm, or stood the slightest chance of success at the polls, we imagine n sight of ycslorduy's farce would have Uio effect to dissipate all such delusive expectations. The Convention has shown Uie imrty to be in a stato of col lapse, and all Uio otiergiea of tho interested leaders cannot restore it to vitality and power. Reported for the Ohio Stale Journal. LOCOFOCO CONVENTION. As was predicted, the State Convention of young Locofocos, turns out to be rather a slender affair. After all the drumming of forces and sound of bu gles, a meeting of some three hundred, of all sorts, sizes, ages and condiUons were got together in the Theatre. The day was excessively hot yet the theatre being a large room, afforded ample accommodations, so far as space was concerned, for Uio convention and spectators. We huve no means of ascertaining what portion of those in attendance were properly members of the Convention ; but from our limited acquaintance with Uie persons, and Uie comparative number of those whom we recognized as Whigs, or aa residents of Columbus, who were mere lookers-on, we are warranted in computing Uiat fully one third may be set down as of the latter clas ses. It is a fact, too, that many are in Uie City at present, who were attracted hither at this time, expecting to witness the military display which was anticipated from the contemplated Encampment somo with an expectation of witnessing an ascent by Clayton, in his balloon and some as visitors to Uie Legislature during its Extra Session. All these causes contributed to swell the attendance at Uie Convention, and to moke up Uie number of about Uiree hundred. The Convention was organized by calling Mr. .Illen G, Thurman, of Ross county, to Uie chair. Mr. Thurman is a nephew of Senator Allen ; but every way his superior intellectually, professionally, morally, or socially. He acquits himself handsomely as a presiding officer. So far so good. After the Convention waa organized, a letter from Senator Allen was produced and read. It was a mortal long letter, and tired down two clerks in the reading. It was, moreover, much upon the Bill Allen strain ; and Uioso who, two years ago, saw him exhibiting Col. Johnson's paw, may from Uiis description form a tolerably correct idea of Uio letter but if they have a curiosity for a moro minute Acquaintance with this literary and political effort of an Ohio Senator, wo refer them to the Ohio Statesman for the Convention agreed to have it printed. One portion of the letter was devoted to complaint at the length of tho Session of Congress Uio next, to denunciations of the rulo which restricts tho speeches to ono hours' duration each. In ono sentence, Congress is upbraided for Uio little it has accomplished in another, Capt Tyler is lauded for the intervention of the Executive wfo, by which Uio action of Congress is rendered nugatory. We instance theBC among numerous similar specimens of the chop-logic with which Uiis Solon would enlighten Uie "Young Mcn"of Ohio. After Allen's letter had been gono through with, one from Senator Tappan was introduced and read. The elder Senator manifested more wisdom in his lcttor Uian his colleague, inasmuch as it was reasonably brief. In one portion of it he alluded to his advancing ago and with an air of grave morality, spoko of " shaking off this mortal coil " at Uie close of which a portion of tho Convention manifes ted approbation by Binitmg with their hands, and stomping with Uieir feet Tina was rather irreverent and unkind towards Uie old Senator; and some thought it at much as to soy they valued his place higher than his services others would excuse Uie act by imputing it to Uie juvenile indiscretion of the audience.

We congratulate all parties nnon Uub happy and hon orable result, Tebms. We hove reason to know Uiat the Con missioners of Uio two States of Maine and Massachusetts have signified their assent to a line of boundary between Maine and New Brunswick. Every body knows that Uie territory in disputo embraces all Uie region of Uie Upper St Johns, and the general understanding now is, Uiat Uiis region is to he divided into unequal parts ; the largest and by far the most valuable, to be assigned to Maine, together with considerations, connected with Uie nav- iirntion ot Uie St Johns, both sides ot the lower or which belong to England,) of the greatest importance to Uie value of the timber growing on its branches. OUier important arrangements lu different parts of Uie line, hitherto unsetUed, in various places between Maine and Uie Lake ot the Woods. are rumored as likely to take place. Matlisonian. We copy tho following examination of prisoners at Providence, from Uie Evening Chronicle of Uiat city.

As to Uie " captain ot Uio Spartan Band and Temperance Lecturer," he may mako up his.mind probably, to be demanded of the Governor of Uiis State. EXAMINATION OP PRISONERS. Lyman Coo'.ry, of New York.

Meant to drill, but was too unwell ; was nover advised by others to coine from New York ; knew Dorr was to be at Chepachet : was told so by Alaj. llopKinsot New York; Mai. Hopkins and about 20 others accompanied Mr. Dorr as far as Norwich saw Dorr at Hopkins' House ten days before I left ; conversed with him. Franklin Coofy of Uiis city, is my brother; he did not know Uiat I was comine; I saw Dorr in Chepachct at Sprague's ; Major Allen, from New York, was there ; saw the Captain of Uie Spartan band Uiere; he is a temperance lecturer; delivered lectures at Chepachet; Uiis man is named Michael Walsh. 1 wo huudrcd more of the Spartan band were ex pected, and were supposed to bo on Uieir way when Uio troops were dispersed. It was understood Uiat a tax would bo levied on State property, to defray Uie uAn;iiscB ui tno campaign, auer unu prupeny uaa boon taken by Dorr. Saw Samuel Y.

They might, peradventure rise up in judgment against Uieir author at some future period this putting down ones sontiments in black-and-white, is sometimes a truublesoine busi ness to trimming politicians. "Hard money" doc trines may answer in some meridians but in others, it would prove no go. Mr. John Brough was nomi nated on Uie committee of resolutions but the modtsl youUi begged to be excused I Ho had already been accused of dictating to his party and for that reason would rather not be named on the committee for preparing resolutions. Some would kindly have excused him, but others said nay, for that John was die very lad for that kind of business. It was understood Uiat Bruugh's delicacy in Uio matter grew out of Uio unfortunate feud existing in Uio "democratic ranks," produced by Uie traitor Hamcr, and one speaker in alluding to Uie matter, took occasion to apologise for mentioning such a namo in such a presence! Afler some tribulation, the committco was named, and Uie Convention adjourned for dinner. In Uio afternoon Gov. Shannon waa introduced, and harangued the meeting for about three hours. His speech was altogether such an one as few could have anticipated. We will not undertake a description of it for we should foil in the attempt; but content ourselves for Uio present by saying Uiat His Excellency played at open-and-shut in a manner which would not reflect credit upon any Sophomore in the State. Hie deductions woro forced and distorted, and drawn generally from premises not warranted by facta. He said and repeated, that fully one-half of Uie surplus Hoyle's Tavern : did not seo Uie Governor of Uio State of Rhodo Island and Providence Plantations on the night of Uie 17th; remained in Providence till the lollowmg Sunday; by the Governor, I mean Thomas Wilson Dorr, son of SulivanDorr; returned to Chepachct when 1 left Providence; I sometimes lecture ; am a talented man, and every body knowe it ; have been to Woonsocket once to carry an express; was at Chepachet when the embankment was Uirown up on Uie hill ; hove attended no secret suf frage meetings; have held nooflioe; havo not had the confidence of the leaders ; carried nails on the mil at Lhepachct; acted Uiere as clerk; waa not Uorrs privato Secretary; remained at the encamp ment ; was Uiere till a despatch was received from Governor Dorr; left Uie encampment on Monday; the substance of Uie despatch from Uie Governor was lor uie troops to disperse Uiat is, cut dirt; havo been called the "industrious Scth Luther;" was taken by a Mr. Cook ; had on a sword when arrested ; con wield a pen bettor than a sword ; can't do much wun eiuier, u mo truui was known; wore a sword nn the ground; did so to distinguish myself aa clerk.

Dr. Hartshorn, Uie India-rubber man, abused me while I was a prisoner ; said I was a scamp and ought to be shot Thomas .ounn, uie rnrenoiogist called me an old sinner Others called me Uie great Seth Luther all knew I was a great lecturer. When at Uie Arsensl, thought Gov. king had broken a flag of truce; Uiought he ought to be shot said so; was mistaken, and sorry for what I said. IT IS A GONE CASE!

There was a rousing meeting at the " Clay Club lost evening. A large number of our citizens, mostly business men, hard-handed mechanics, and enthusi astic young men, came forward and subscribed their names to the articles of association. We wero pleased to witness tho hearty good will wiUi which many of tho new members "declared their intentions." al though Uieir autographs exhibited marks of more familiarity with Uie tools of the work shop or field, than with tho "grey goose quill." The Engine House was filled to overflowing at an early hour, nnd many retired unable to find room. Tho Club waa addressed in masterly and effective speeches by Messrs. Oi.ns, Sciik.iik and Root, of Uio Legis lature, who wore listened to with much interest and satisfaction. Mr. Olds' stylo of siioaking is that of plain, practicnl common sense, (Uio best sense in Uio world, and sometimes believed to bo the rarest) and of solid, substantial argument Ilo delineated and exposed Uie hypocritical pretensions of the " Bank Reformers " to the life, and showed to Uie entire conviction of his hearers, (if conviction was wanted) dial to trust them longer was to invoke niter ruin upon tho State. Mr. Schenck is a varied but forci ble speaker passing from " gravo to gay, from live ly to severe," n irresistible effect His unpre meditated remarks last evening were received with Uio warmest testimonials of approbation.

A writer is permitted to characterize John Tyler, in the Statesman, aa having "shown in the Presiden tial chair, a weak and vascillating mind I" That s a pretty return fur the advertisements published in tho Statesman, from one of the Departments under Uiis same John Tyler. The some writer thinks, that notwithstanding Uie weakness and vascillating character of the Execu tive, the Whigs are much to blame for not supporting him. The Whigs may he tasked for their inconsistency in not doing so, but as the Loco Foco party have kindly assumed tho defence and maintenance of John Tyler's acts and principles, wo beg to be excused. Nm.l.lEIfMTIliN Itl'ltl Kl.ll IN MlrWIl'RI Tho instruments of Bentun, who do all tho labor of thinking and directing political affairs for Uie people of Missouri, havo resolved upon nullifying tho act of Congress, requiring the election of members of Congress by districts. The people, however, are unwilling to countenance Uiis gross violation of tho vital principle Uiat holds Uie union togeUier. The Whigs will take nn part in the election for Congress next woek. Throughout tho Stole, Loco Foco candidates are proposing for tho Legislature upon the pledge to do away with Uie general Ucket system, and conform to Uie act of Congress, The probabili ty is, Uiat the Legislature will ho composed of the friends of the District system, who will apportion Uio State and order a new election next winter.
