He is trying his hand weakly at the old, worn- put, game of agitation. In the days of his fath er it required a high order of talent, and all the resqurcesrof a popular leader, to keep the ball oving. 1 he juggle was too transparent to ? ' . eceive ; but wit, and numour, anq sometimes eloquence, were brought in to aid 'the. delusion and men laughed at the ability with which the legerdemain was practised. ; But things are changed. ; The play is over. The curtain has fallen. The chief actor is gathered to his fathers. The racy comedian who could always command; a roar by his hu mour, or a smile by his pleasantry, is succeed ed by a dull dog, the walking gentleman of the farce, who supposes that every one is pleased With his person, while in reality 'people curl their lips with disdaiu at bis vanity. - The heir to Denmark's throne exclaimed in the bitter ness of his soul 44 No more lik6 my father, thant to Hercules!" The! rebuke, finds an echo, in Conciliation-hall. Every reader, how ever far removed from the banks of the LitTery, is painfully impressed with.' the tact talent is not hereditary. To any imaginative people like the Irish, nothing surely can appear so pitiful as the so lemn palaver, "tedious as a twice-told tale," which their self constituted leader utters weekly in the old rendezvous of agitation. 4 Thoughts that breathe and words that burn,J';.are the means by which an earnest spirit , moves the masses. Mr. John O Connell has not a scin tella of genius. Not a spark of the heavenly fire exits in his composition, lie is essential ly a thing of clay 44 of the earth, earthy ;" and the dross of the pence appears to be the only power he is capable of appreciating. In this respect Mr. Duffy and the Young 'Irelanders stand out in refreshing contrast. Whatever and Cornelius Sullivan, Doorkeeper, Gen.

The area of the tract of country included within the present boun dary is estimated to be four hundred and forty eight thousand six hundred and ninety-one (148,691) square miles, which is nearly equal to that of all the non-slave-holding States of the Union, and which, deducting the area of Iowa, is greater than that of all the residue of the non slaveholding States. " Your committee are of the oninion In what respeci has General Tay lor exhibited himself otherwise than as an honest man 1 It is eksy to see that the ire of the Union has been excited against hirri by the fact that some of its political mends have been removed from office ; but does this constitute a sufficient ground for pharging him with dishonesty ? How stands the list of public pfficers at the pre sent moment. It each ipartv has a fair portion, then the removals which have been made, however repugnant they may be to individual feeling and interest, are not unjust in a national point of view. It was! expected that public offices would be more equally distrjbnteol between the two parties ; and if General Taylor has been guilty of no graver offenpe than undertak ing this equalization, hej will be exonera ted from censure by the American people, notwithstanding the harh and coarse dc- , work in discharge of the important duties nunciations of the Union, and papers of a assigned to it, at the latest date from kindred character. j Monterey (the evening of September 22) The Union exhibits too much irritation ! m0st of the provisions of the proposed and impatience in its hostility to the Pre-j Constitution had been passed upon in sidejit.

Your committee are therefore of the opinion that a boundary should qow be fixed upon which will entirely precludo the possibility of such a result in future. Another important reason, which has aided very much in producing the conclu sion to which your committee have arriv ed, is predicated upon the fact that there is already a vast settlement in a rcmoto portion of this territory, the population of which is variously estimated to be from fifteen to thirty thousand human souls, the Mormons,) who are not represented in the Convention, and who, perhaps, do not desire to be represented here. The religious peculiarity of these people, and the very fact of their having selected that remote and isolated region as a perma nent home, would seem to warrant the Jacinto Rodrigues.
