The whole .subject has! been veiled in impenetrable mists even our Governors and Literary Boards have oeen be-fogged, and the whole subject seems to be like Scotch metaphysics. ' ' Why, wby have our legislatures taken so littre interest in this matter? Why have we not .-had "an inienigible system of iand-laws a commissioner ot swamp ianus, witn wen defined duties and responsibilities, or sC.me other machinery for. the protection and the sellinsr of that immense domain which mhjht be made to add from seven to ten millions of dollars to the Literary Fund.; A movement has been made on this sub ject, in the Legislature ; and we Hope to see recommended and carried out some wise and efficient system for ascertaining and settling the titles of the publiciands. for protecting them, and lor managing them.

A telegraphic dispatch dated on Monday last, from Baltimore did not reach ns till yesterday, and, of course, gave us no news. ; The cause of this delay was some damage to the wires, for which the Company are not to blame. But the question arises, is the recipient Of the dispatch to blame 1 Is the Telegraph so different in charac ter from all the other establishments, that it is en titled to pay for services it cannot perform ? We give notice to our Correspondents to send us no more dispatches, on a,nj subject, 'till this question is settled according to the rule of right. , ; - ALLEGIANCE. .- Allegiance is the obedience which every snb- jector citizen; owes to the government of, his country and the United States anq England, this obedje.nOT embraces the lavfl commands of tho more "despolio governments of Europe--and in the United SUtcs,'till pf fate, in tae niore ,'in- vi .Ii . til . . '.' V tn veierare aemancs or party 4 tor It seems to nave oeen a notion ot politicians, encouraged to pro mote their sinisfer designs or plans of ambition, that a man should obey his party leadersthat is,- go with the party in the way which leaders com- mauu ngni or wrong. 1 . , The differenc between the lawful command of Government in fliis country, and the dictation of party, consists inthe fact that the first s Ipflny, co eval with the existence of governments, and the second is customttt about 40 years growth. ' The absurd pr.etencej of this party allegiance were not carried out by fine and imprisonment, but by denunpiatqns, social ostracism and insult upon the highway and klsewhere so that men began to dread the ppnalty kf a breach of prty ohedience, quite as much as tbey did the vjolktion of the laws j of their country. The allegiwnce to our govern ment created the in Jependent citizen, in fbe en joyment ofal the jjigh ppp leges of a freeman, With the right of opinion, &c. "The allegiance to icui ttuair. aijii uuffiiuiop Hfaue me cjiisen ine subservient tool 01 ambitious pien; the obedient subject of cliques and 'squads apd' distinguished personages ; the component part of a political machinery, without inj right of private judgment and without any opinio at all of his own. ; ' Our readers know that we have drawn a true picture of this custom-fand Jhey know also that allegiance to party is a'thing made for the grills and hot for men of spirit and independence that it lives and moves and derives its impulses from demagogues, office-holders, office-seekers, and all the expectants of government patronage and ? fa-. vor. We have the true meaning of these connexions, when we say that men owe allegiance to their gov ernment only, to whose commands they ought o yield obedience, without question5 or opposition, especially in a land like ours where the elections m'ake and uil2?akc our rulers. We like the sen timent of the Naval Hero, who gave for a toast ai a public festival : '0ur country : May she always be In the right, and always successful, right ' or wrong.'; This sentiment was made the subject of criticism by the gownsmen, but it was worthy the heart and mind of an American patriot. , But when yon apply this sentiment to party, we beg to be excused. No American freeman should go with his party unless he is convinced his par ty is in th,e right nor can he, as a friend to his country and to liberty, wish, success to any party which he believes to bo in tho wrong. In a free country, parties are as necessary, as checks to each other, as the commotio o.f .the elements are to I the healthfuns Qf the atmosphere.; It would seem as if Providence iniititutedthe system, that truth might arise in the collision' 0 intelfect ir tno Deneat of our race so tnat too much power ...- - ...

In tie first place, the staff of power generated 19 th t foul and wicked custom, which assumed the rar c of allegiance to party, is broken foreve. In tie second place, politicians have been taught tht they must do jig.ht,t they expect the support $f an intelligent people or at any rate, that t he wrong must not be so palpable that all the world.c'an see it.

TUB BALTIMORE CONVENTIONS A writer in, tho Str Louis, M.issnri, Democrat, speaks of. the late Baltimore Conventions in a style that is a caution to political sinners. He makes them but a little worse than we thought tbem to be, though our own notions abou' them did them no credit.;- Of thp correctness of the following remarks our readers can judge, by the fruits produced . Of all the men who held seats in the two Balti more Conventions, there were not fifty who had been elected by any considerable portion of the people not five-and-twenty who did not obtain their seats through the most bare-faced fraud and corruption.; Men were admitted to seats, who it was notorious had not been elected; For instan ce, the late Mr, Rantoul, who . had credentials to show that he had received upwards of thirty-one bundred votes or the party in bis district, was re fected, whilst a Mr. Lord, who had onlv oner hun area ana seventeen votes, was aamittea, oecause it was 'supposed that he would be the willing tool of .leading demagogues. - The same outrage was perpetrated by the Whifis, in the case of Thomas Carn'ely and Moses H. Grinnell ; and a dozen other r The object of the leadingdemagognes in these man: and thus obtain possession of the eovern - ment. " They found that the two bodies were com- posed of "soldiers of fortune" men destitute off Who were to be hired and purchased for any pur-1: uose, anu mey spent mjnureus oi inousauusoi lollars to bribe vagabonds who made a'btrsihess f treachery, fraud and bribery. - It is Some Jonsblation to know; that the knavish demagogues yho were engaged p tnjs lntamous,; process ot svindled by the rascals ' whom they attempted to rpuder subservient to their tile artifices. The scoundrels took the brjbes offered pocketed them, and" then .turned round and sold out to other' des peradoes." So far as the Democratic Convention was con-? cerned, there was not integrity enough in it to en able it to cairy out any. fixed purpose j and find ing itself baffled by the knaves in jts service, and tnable to nominate any candidate wbo. had the iast claim to popular . respect or affect ion, a few fits more honorable and high minded members, 0 avoid general disruption, went to work adopt d a scheme for their own safety, and fortunately lominated a gentleman who is . entitled to public affrage and confidonce. And thus ended the late Dd we hope it will be tho last, national "regular" )emocratic Conyentwil. ' - j Our readers will perceive that the " author Of- he above is a Democrat, and though evidently xcited by' the wrongs inflicted by the two Con 'entious, tells truths that should be known to alL 1 These Conventions have not held tmdisputed svay over the public mind. The Democratic par 1 ; denounced them in the year 1815 and 1824 aid we are now reminded of a fact of some im portance, which is, that ;Gen. Jackson looked up- pa them withloathing end disgust he saw every- thin in them that is daneerCus to the liberties of the' people ; and was elected to the Presidency by a party that had heaped upon them every possi-'- ble mark of contempt and opproblum. , Although he was induced to avail himself of their rrachipe- ry when a candidate for the Presidency a second iime.'he iied firm" in the avowal that they were conspiracies against the institutions of the coun try ; and contended most dustily, that all elections should be brought directly to the people, with out the aid of. caucuses or conventions. ' : Thee Conventions, now so- potent 'for mischief, and so manifestly opposed to the free exercise of the people's will, had their origin in France, du ring the days cf the Reign of Terror, and were introduced Into this country about forty years ago. In various sections their': operations have been felt, but in very few cases have.fh.ey ever ex pressed pubhopipion. ' v , - The SU Jub writer says : , , The late jlVatthew, L.
