It is unnecessary to detail the whole of this scandalous proceeding. Let it sufiice that (he Chairman of the Democratic Meeting, Pol Win. li- naiiett, and jvir. nas. iunum were arrested yesterday morning, on a war ( fmm the Recorder, for "riotous and dis orderly conduct." That conduct was presi dium and being at one of the most respecta- i.!n meetings ever held in Mobile. Ihe mi mediate injury done to individuals is not worthy ot a thougnt. it is me disrespect for the people involved in the measure, that is to be condemned it is ine attempt at an out rage which has no precedent in any Ameri can community since Hartford sent forth those resolutions which have made it a con IeP,,ta stiffina in the eye of every republi can. It is uot tna sevcra' eminent citizens hive been drasrged before a public tribunal ,.iui treated like felons. Ihisisnot what complained of. It is that a paltry Police f0m load on by an individual notoriously unmindful of the law and the privileges of tho r;,;7CnS has violated a right guaranteed the Constitution of the Union and every State which composes it. It is not that respectable citizens have been arraigucd before a crimi i U U that men. clothed in a little brief authority, should dare to send their tool to disperse a moiety oi the whole community, assembled to c.vnress opinions on a political question to peacefully give vent to those feelings of gratification which the occasion was so we'll calculated to inspire. Is this conduct to be taken as evidence of tho mo tives that govern our opponents? Is this pro ceeding to be construed as a practical exam plificatiou of their sentiments regarding the rights and immunities of the people? YVc hope not we believe not, for heavy as the charges are that have urged against the oppo sition, we are sure that there is too much of the spirit of justice remaining among them to tolerate for a moment this monstrous outrage on the constitution of our common country. Under the circumstances there was no im mediate course left but for all who felt the in solent assurance of our .Recorder, to meet in pablic assembly, and to place upon the city administration (he brand of iuiamy -the charge of having permitted their prejudices to overmaster their sense of justice to permit the feelings of the animal to overcome the claims of law and equity. This has been nobly done, and with an indignant spirit but this is not all, justice cannot be satisfied until the officers engaged in this affair be dis missed from the public service! They have offended half of the cornmuuity at least, and the othr half owe this much deference to the opinions and claims of their fellow citizens. We speak not now in the spirit of party. There is a loftier sentiment involved in this transaction it is whether or not a domiuent party shall permit what maybe termed the mi nority to suffer the wrong and insolence of the officers which that party may choose to execute their will. If this clain upon their justice be slighted if this right be spurned, they may may safely count on but brief au thority, and they cannot complain if the "in gredients of this poisoned chalice be com mended to their own lips."

It is our duty to give hints now and then, I rawn from public observation, for the benefit of so Iarja and respectable a class as lliat of he farming portion of our community. The bug is threatening a dreadful destruction of the crops in the back country, and is also making ts appearance in great numbers in the low country. An intelligent farmer informs us that his formidable insect, while making its horrid ivages in the wheat, oats, rye, corn, and even grass, will pass by, and leave untouched, the crop ofpeas and siceet potatoes. Our hint is, hat all lake careto plant largely of these two valuable articles this year. They are peculiarly adapted lo the soil of our flat sandy - country, and no body plants noug-h of them. Let farmers look to this, as a neans ofordinary prudence in case of the loss f the corn and wheat crop. A man cannot starve with his cribs ful; of peas and his cellars full of "sweet Carolinians." -Ki" i lai un h i-r zt I iiirnnriq t - 1 , " . . 1 1 1' .t.ii.F.1, II LI t .un jcu uirougn the Assembly in hot haste.

Then there is the Genessee Valley Canal, the Black River Canal and some other works, which, as they are only to cost the trifling sum of a few millions each, are really not worth considering separate ly, and so are put together in one sweeping bill "lo provide for carrying on the public works now in progress." "Several other canals, and railroads innumerable are crowding their claims upon the Legislature, all prepared with reports of most disinterested engineers, to show that each particular road is the most important for "developing resources," and the most easily constructed of any one in the wide world.

His theme is a magnificent ne, ar.d although his poem as it now is, has merits tf the very highest order, (and-every body should buy and read it,) yet the author, from haste, or the timidity of early youth, as a man and writer, lias evidently not given himself elbow-room, he. has not let his vigorous fancy take its wonted flight.

Debt X Debt Z Debt t We have said some hard things of Pennsyl vania; we have soundly berated her impudence in launching so deeply into debt; we have un sparingly condemned her gigantic credit system which has led to igantic frauds and unbounded ruin; we have denounced her suspension policy, tier corruption ot Hie currency, and her immoral infractions of solemn contracts. All this we have said, but "more in sorrow than in anger." It pained us to see a once proud and noble State disgraced, tier credit lost, and he,r lair lame tar nished. We knew she contained within her self the power to rise from her fallen state, if she would have the courage lo put it forth in a noble effort worthy ol" herself. To this course we urged her willi all our feeble power of argu ment, hoping that she would be induced to take a firm stand, levy the tax which is her only re sort, and regain her lost rank among the proud est ofher sisters. It was, however, labor lost. The incubus of her debt weighed her down to such a degree, ihat she had no spirit left to make an effort for extricating herself, and her Legislature adjourned under circumstances which showed too plainly that still deeper de gradation ivas contemplated that - if taxation was to be the only mode of" paying her debt or ihe interest upon if, the probability, was, it would remain unpaid till doomsday. But we have no more to say to Pennsylvania; indeed, we (ear that what we have already said will yet come back to us with additional force. Our own State appears bent upon seeking: a "lower deep," and it is more than probable from present indications that we shall in7a few years reach a point, where even prostrate Pennsylva nia will look down upon us.

Occupation of Oregon The following joint resolution was recently reported to the Senate by Mr. LiiNN, Chair man of the Select Committee on the Orejron Territory. Joint Resolution to authorize the adoption of measures for the occupation and settlement of the T.crritory of Oregon. Resolved btj the Senate and House of Rep resentatives of the United Slates of America in Congress assembled, That the title of the United States to the Territory of Oregon is certain and will not be abandoned. That the President of the United States be, and he is hereby, authorized to take immedi ate measures to have the boundaries of the United States on the Pacific frontier ascer taincd and fixed, and in the mean time he take such measures as may be necessary to protect the persons and property of our citi zens residing or trading in the Territory of Oregon. That the President of the United States is hereby authorized to cause to. be erected at suitable places and distances a line of milita ry posts from Fort Leavenworth to the Rocky Mountains, for the better protection and en couragement of the Indian trade and for the preservation of peace between the whites and Indians. That as soon as the boundaries of the Ore gon Territory are indisputably determined, one thousand acres of laud shall be granted to every white male inhabitant of said Terri tory, of the age of eighteen years and up ward, who shall cultivate and use the same for five consecutive years, or to his heir or heirs at-Iaw, if such there be. That the President is hereby authorized to appoint an additional Indian agent, whose du ty it shall be (under his direction and control) to superintend the interests of the United States with any agency now established by law. That .the sum of dollars be appropriated out of any money in the Trea sury not otherwise Appropriated, to carry into enect the foregoing resolution. St. Augustine, April 17. Gen. Taylor is concentrating 300 men at Fort fanning on the Suwannee, for an ex amination of Wahoo Swamp. From every thing which we learn, from gentlemen who have recently been among the enemy, the opinion seems to be a prevalent one, that they are short of powder. Among camps which they were forced to vacate, leaving every thing behiud them, their horns were invariably found empty; and from the fact that Wild Cat did not fire upon the troops when re-crossing the We-ki-wa, these views seem to be strengthened. Now is a favorable moment to push up the feeling of insecurity, created among them by the late visit to the;- planting grounds; and while their resources of ammunition are depreciating, cripple them in their efforts at resistance. Delay may be dangerous; for who shall say, that before this moon is over, they will not successfully ambuscade a baggage train, and receive new supplies to keep up their blood- thristy operations. There is a rumor that the Indian, made prisoner some time sines on the Wacassassa, took his captors to a place used as a depot by Tiger-Tail, and that several articles belong ing to the late Mr. Dallam, murdered at Caloosahatchie, were identified by theirmarks. The prisoner also informed them that the In dians were supplied with powder by a Span iard at Tampa Bay, and he was accordingly taken there, in order to point out the person spoken of.

With an elastic step, erect figure, and a countenance glowing with health, good humor, and pleasant thoughts, one finds it almost impossible to believe, that he has looked upon the scenes which (judging from a recent paragraph from a letter of his in a JNew Jersey paper, concerning his birth place) he must have seen. Moreover there is no flagging of the mind no weakening of the intellect. His thoughts areas natural and fresh his descriptions of nature as vivid his pictures of character as life-like and happy as in the days of the Sketch Book and Tales of a Traveller.
