Affairs in Mexico appear to be | quiet, The want of material in men and means, seems to be agreat drawback to the glory of Mexico: The Troops on the Texas Frontier, ‘The Courter § Enquirer, of yesterday, has a long and labored article, endeavoring to show the illegali. ance of the United States troops into ty of the adv: i Texas, in pursuance of the orders of the Executive. The Courter takes the ground that the President hag | no authority to station the troops on the frontier of ‘Texas, for the purpose of defending and enforcing | the claims of Texasto its boundary line. The argu- | ment of the Courier is altogether defective. It begs | the question completely. In the present state of the | annexation question, there can be no doubt of the | right of the United States government to assume the claims of Texas to its boundary line, and to take | possession, as our troops have, of the left bank of the Rio del Norte. It is no matter whether that boundary is admitted or denied by Mexico. ‘That | has nothing to do with the question. | As tothe objection of the Courier, to the course of | the Executive, that it should!have awaited the action | of Congress, we ean only say that it is ridiculously absurd. ‘The President is only carrying out the re- | solutions adopted by Congress, and in providing for any contingency that may arise, is justified by the | present condition of the annexation question, which | gives to this government an indirect or inchoate right to maintain the rights of Texas. If Texas ad.| mitted the claims of Mexico, and yielded to her | settlement of the boundary line, then indeed i} would be unjustifiable on the part of this governmen, | to station troops on the Rio del Norte. But such is | not the case. When Texas is annexed to this coun, | try all her claims are assumed, and we are bound | in good faith to maintain them, and insist on the | rights of Texas at all hazards. ‘The objection, therefore, of the Cowrier and other journals, to the authority of the President, in order- ing Colonel Kearney’s command to the Texian fron- tier, is quite unsupported by the facts of the case, ‘The conduct of the Executive has been perfectly proper, and is not at all to be affected by this special pleading and lawyer-like splitting of hairs which mark the columns of the Courier and En- Its long and windy articles on this subject amount to nothing. quirer Wor.p’s Convention.—A very great deal est is felt amongst the philosophers and re- Tormers, relative to the ‘* World’s Convention,” to be held in this city in October next. It will, indeed, bea curious gathering—as miscellaneous as its de- signation indicates—a gathering in fact as diversifi- ed as the collection of animals committed to the great deep in the ark of Noah. In reference to it we have received the following communication :— James Gonnos Benner, Esq. + The Herald of this morning, speaking of the “mov: ments of Infidels,” mentions the celebrated ‘* Wo: Convention,” which is to commence in this city on the second Tuesday in October next, and announces it as “a project in which all connected with the general infidel movement appear to be very much interested.” Is not “the World’s Convention” to be emphatically a working-man’s convention? Is it not and was it not called for the express purpose of devising some means whereby the condition of the lai boring classes might be bettered?

Miss Loomis, one of the co-adjutors of the 7ri- dune, has also endeavored to enlighten us with re. gard to the objects of this Convention. Here are some extracts from one of her recent manifestoes : Tur Wor.n’s Convextioy.—The friends of Re- form, of every grade and every where, should be awake to the interest of the World’s convention, to be holden in New York on the Ist of October. All their different theories, plans and projects should now be agi- tated, Every one who has a practical thought in eta tion to what should be done at this convention, should out with it. We should not be waiting and delaying for others to propose. The humblest representative rtd man nature has an equal interest and right in this con- vention with the noblest. It is called without respect to party, or party measures. It has no partiality to party, sex, color, age or condition. It is a World’s Convention where a human being is to be represented as such, with- out regard to peculiarities of any kind. ‘Then let every one throw out his free thought—no matter how it is worded, or from what source it comes The object of the convention is to consider and adopt some measures by which to emancipate the world from its present misera- ble condition of starvation and debauchery, slavery and tyranny, falsehood, inequality and wretchedness, and to establish equal rights and privileges, true relations,plen- ty and happiness to all the groaning children of earth.— tL understand the call, it is to all classes and conditions of men, who ave desiring or seeking to reform society — to the Educationist no less than the Socialist. I expect the Abolitionist, Temperance Reformer, Physiological Reformer, the Educational Reformer, Political Reform. r, and the Social Reformer, will there mingle together; and it is to be hoped that no barrier will exist in any one’s mind on account of difference of opinion on other sub- jects. Let not the hue and cry of infidelity be raised among the ranks of reformers,to divide their efforts. It's no mat- ter what any one believes about things that our senses cannot appreciate, Noone is worthy the name of a man, and much less of a reformer, who cannot forget these abstract differences for the accomplishment of an object 40 great, somighty, so divine! If we are infidel to some of the sentiments of other reformers, so are they infidel to some of our sentiments. Each individual will, perhaps differ from every other one in some of his sentiments— what of it?

Let the liberalist be willing to listen to the christian, and the christian to the liberalist ; the conservative to the radicalist, and the ra. alist to the conservative ; the politician to the non- sistant, and the non resistant to the politician ; the civ lize to the socialist, and the socialist to the civilizee the believer in free will, to the believer in circumstan- and vice versa—not as such, but as human beings, claiming @ common parentage and a common destiny-— not to brandish words over their peculiarities, but let all come together willing to be taught, and to investigate together the best methods to bring about the desired ob- Reformers should be teachable, Nothing is more ter calculated to produce true results.

In order to do this,a small pamphlet should be printed containing the system of internal ar- rangements, simple and complete, and at the same time subject to re kind would be large, and based on the attractive princi ple partaking the advantages of associated equality Marta Loomis, Such isa fair specimen of the intelligence—ob, Jects—views and principles of the new movement an which the New Vork Tribune and all that class o; philosophers are engaged, Free Cuvncr and the beggar,to meetin that magnificent temple on perfect equality.

Copper Mines on Lake Surerior.—The travel to this region is tremendons, all growing out of the belief that vast quantities of copper are to be found. Many mining companies have been formed, but the neral opinion amongst sensible men is that the whole business will turn vut to be a great bubble. The truth indeed is, as has been shrewdly remarked by some of the visiters recently in that part of the country, that more brass has been found in the faces of the speculators there, than there is copper in the mines! Yet forthe next two or three years this speculation will flourish. We must always have some bubble in this country ; one day it is railroads —another it is United States Bank—another day it 1s lead mines—and now the great bubble of the day isthe copper mines of Lake Supenor. Doubtless immense quantities of the serip issued by these companies will be sold, and the purchasers left to hunt up the copper at their leisure | AN Imvostor.—n impostor has been recently travelling on the North River, who represents him- self'as a reporter for the Herald, The other day he went on board the “Rip Van Winkle,” a favorite boat by the by, and attempted to play his game of imposture, but was detected, and put ashore at Poughkeepsie.

A Governor, members of | Washington Parke Custis, the only surviving grand- son of Mrs. General Washington, has been sojourn- ing in our city several days, on his way to Boston, for the purpose of visiting the grounds which were the scene of revolutionary conflict in that vicinity, Alderman Peters, with his usual liberality, patriot- ism, and public spirit, determined to do proper hon- or to the illustrious scion of the noble house, whose name will for ever linger upon the lips of Americans. Accordingly, notes of invitation were addressed to more than 200 different persons, who were request- ed to assemble at Mr. Peters’ house, there to meet and pay their respects to Mr. Custis and Major Pop- ham, the aged President of the Society of the Cin- cinvati. Yesterday, about 10 o’clock, A.M., the guests began to assemble atthe hospitable and beau- tiful mansion of Alderman Peters, in Lenox Place. ‘There were not only veterans of the revolution, old men, middle-aged and young, but there were young, blooming maidens, who had come to enliven the scene with their presence, and win back, fora time, these old men to the days of youth and gaiety. | Major Popham arrived about 11 o’clock, and Mr. | Custis at 12, accompanied by his wife and daughter, The rooms were decorated with flowers and en- | gravings, presenting a neat and tasteful appeatance. At1 o’clock, a collation, prepared by Downing, was spread in the dining rooms, to which the guests then | assembled did ample justice. After the dinner, the | guests continued to assemble, and the afternoon was passed in mutual interchanges of sentiment between r. Custis and those assembled. The old soldiers lived isn in the days of the Revolution, and related anecdotes,and brought up reminiscences | of the times that “tried men’s souls,” at the relation | of some of which Mr. Custis was affected even to tears. Major Popham exhibited to the company a watch presented by ey fen to Washington, and | by him to the Society of the Cincinnati. It 1s a | silver watch, the dial set in diamonds. Also the sword presented by Eadorored re in the heat of a | battle, when his was lost, to Colonel Talmadge, and | now in the possession of his son Henry I’. Talmadge of this city. Short addresses were made by Mr. Custis, Henry Meigs and Dr, Francis. The rest of the aay passed in mirth and hilarity. The guests con- tinued to assemble until 5 o’clock, P. M.; and in the course of the day at least two hundred persons par- took of the liberal cheer provided by Alderman Peters, and paid their respects to Mr. Custis and Major Popham. ; : s p A book was provided, in which the visitors re- corded their names and ages, from which we made the following extracts: Mr. Custis, 65; Major Pop- ham, 93; A. L. Underhill, 82 ;*R. Cheeseborough, of Connecticut, 79; Teunis Quick, 78; James Black 78; A. S. Norwood, 75, Thomas Morris, (a_son of Robert Morris,) 74; Jacob Hays, 73; Isaac T. Hop- per, 74; John W. Mulligan, 71; Sylvanus Miller, 73; Dr. Gilbert Smith, 73. Among other distin- ee guests were, Rh. R. Gurley, Esq.; George Wood of the Treasury Department; Dr. James Manley; Dr. John W. Francis. Letters were re- ceived from Messrs. E. W. Laight, Philip Hone, M. Van Schaick, John L. Lawrence, Theodore S. Dwight, George W. Chapman, and others, gretting that business, absence, or bodily infirmi- ties prevented them from attending upon this in- teresting occasion. About five o’clock, Mr. Custis took his departure for Fort Hamilton, where his fenaaiecs husband is stationed. Mr. Custis was highly gratitied with the manner in which he was received, which reflects great credit upon Alderman Peters. This interesting interview will not soon be forgotten. Mr. Custis has not been in New York before since 1791, a space of fitty-four years. He then resided with General Wash‘ngton, at a house which stands at the corner of Cherry street and Franklin square, now kept by Mrs. Vattelan as a boarding-house.— Mr. C. goes to Boston on Monday. He will return to this city in about ten days, at which time, we pre- sume, some public demonstration will be made for his reception. z America Vespucci.—This personage, of more than doubtful reputation, who made so strenuous an ef- fort some years ago to obtain a pension, or grant of land or money from this government, on the ground that she was descended from the Amerigo Vespucci, circulated, for a time, in the best society at Washington. Her name having been recently—and in our judgment, very inde- cently--put before the public, the Morning News tells this story of her original introduction into society at Washington : “It was M. De Pontois, the then French Minister, who introduced her into our society almost officially ; the lady having been sent out from ‘ourt, as it was afterwards generally reported, to put an end to the influence of her fascinations upon the young Duke of Orleans, the heir apparent to the throne. ‘The French Minister behaved shamefully in this respect, acquainted as he could not but have been with the truth of the case ; and it was only his own return to France, (which happened to follow im- mediately after this occurrence,) that saved him from being dismissed in disgrace from Washington, by Presi- it Van Buren, for the insult thus offered, not alone to all the American female society at Washington, but to the American people. M. De Pontois afterward became the French Ambassador at Constantinople. Whether h departure from Washington, at that particular time, was occidental or not, we do not know. It was at least a for- tunate coincidence for him. Had he remained a little longer, his going would not have been altogether volun- tary.”—Courier, The woman referred to above, returned to Paris via New Orleans, after the refusal of Congress to grant her petition for a grantof land. Betore leav- ing that port, she sent to one of the papers there, an address to the American people, reproaching them for their treatment of her. After remaining in Europe some time, she received, at Paris, an offer of “protection” from a Frenchman living in this country. She accordingly came out here again, and arrived at Boston in time to attend the ball given there in honor of the Prince de Joinville, at which she shone with her accustomed brilliancy. Depart- ing for her future home in St. Lawrence county, she was met at Plattsburg {by her “ protector,” and thence carried with great pomp to the residence of that gentleman. The carriage that conveyed them was drawn by six milk-white horses, and attended by a numerous train of servants in livery.

P, Robinson, Dr. §. Collins, Philodel- ‘Westchester Agricultural Soclety=Farmers’ Club. "The first meeting of the Westchester Farmer’s Club was held yesterday evening, at Fordham, at five o’clock. Unfortunately, at about half: past four, ‘a severe thunder storm, accompanied by an hour’s heavy rain, set in, and interfered with the attend, ance ofthe farmers of the vicinity greatly, so that there were few persons present, except those who went out by the New York and Harlem railroad. It only remained, accordingly, to make the best of adverse circumstances, and so the members present repaired to the assembly room up stairs. Tt ought to be stated that this ‘Farmers’ Club” is established in connection with, and under the aus- pices of the Westchester Agricultural and Horticul- tural Society, whose members are also members of the Club. Its views and objects are jpractical alto- gether, and similar to those pursued by the Farmers? Club of New York. It is proposed to establish like associations, to the number of 22, all through the county, and stir up a lively and active interest among the sons of the soil, for the progression of agricultural science, now, unhappily, too much neg- lected in this country. Mr. Gouverneur Morris being ex-officio chair- man of the Club, as Vice-President of the Agricul- tural Society for Westchester, took the chair, and Mr. Epwarb G. Fait, was chosen Secretary pro tem. f The first business done was the reading of the constitution and bye-laws of the Aeciedtural Socie- ty of Westchester, after which Mr. Meigs addressed the club very briefly, announcing his attendance and that of the rest of the committee delegated by the New York Farmers’ Club to that meeting. He said that although the meeting was thin it was not to be taken as an omen of failure, ner should it in the least interfere with their proceedings. It was pru- dent and necessary to make a beginning. He was not a young man, and he could say that in the course of along and active life, he never knew half a dozen farmers or any other class of men, assem- bling to inquire for information, but learned some- thing worth tar more pains to know. They were there met todo something. At,the last meeting of the Farmers’ Club of New York a. discussion arose on the question of finding a substitute tor the hay crop, in case of its failure. It was an important in- quiry, and considering the value of the crop of hay annually in the United States, its loss or injury af- fected the country much. Hence any substitute that could be found for 1t would be of vast value. One of the plans proposed was the culture of aie and they undoubtedly did offer a large resource for the food of cattle. At that meeting he had read an ex- tract from the parliamentary returns of Great Bri- tain, giving an account of the number and value of the live stock, and the amount tended to show in a clear light the enormous wealth of that country (Mr. Meigs here recapitulated some of the items which appeared before in the Herald.) The value of these cattle was no less than 1836 millions of dol- lars. And how were these fed? Why the very foremost agricultural writers of that county agreed in saying that turnips was their main stay—the glory of the land was the turnip, as fool for cattle, and why should it not be resorted tohere? Why should it not be made to add millions of dollars per year to the agricuitu- raljwealth of the land? It must no longer be neglected; farmers will see they are wrong in not planting an: quantity of turnips, and if this young society would take upon it the duty of enforcing the wisdom’of culti- vating turnips, it would, even if it did nothing else, earn for itself the character of a public benefacter. Mr. Kenn bore testimony to the great value of the tur- nip crop, and corroborated all that had been said in rela- tion to its culture in Great Britain, There it was found tobe vastly more fruitful in food for cattle than any other crop, yielding on the poorest soil 600 bushels an acre, and on good land so much as 1,000 or 1,200 bushels an acre, while about two tons of hay was an average yield. yuired little beyond the contrast here pre- sented, iblish the superior value of turnips. Col. Cuarxe said it was not Pe too late to plant the turnip, and a supply of food for their cattle was in the reach of the farmer, should present ap- prehensions of a short hay crop be realized. Corn too, and peas, if cut green and properly preserved, were available. It was oaly said, that the discovery of a sub- stitute for hay would be a valuable one, and he was happy to think that it was quite practicable, in those things mentioned ; indeed, any of thecorns could be re- sorted to with success, if needful. Dr. Underhill observed that he had certain remarks to make to the farmers of Westchester, but as they were not there he would reserve them for another time. If there was sty information they could impart to them, he would be appy to contribute all he could, but the: hardly deserved it unless they attended to hear it. All that was or can be said onthe subject of turnips was sonable, for he had no doubt that ascarcity of y be felt ; as for corn, it would not be over halfa crop. There was yet time to secure an undoubted sub- stitute. ‘The white Dutch turnip was not teo late yet, nor perhaps the yellow, but the Tatar was not eo sure, Thirty tons of turnips’ is a great «mount of food off one acre. Speaking of turnips in England, they actually made England what she is. Eighteen hundred and thirty- six millions of dollars was an immense amount of capi- talto be in the form of black cattle, for such a small country as England, not much larger than the State of New York. Now, is it supposed that a supply of hay could be had in Great Britain for the support of all those cattle ? Not a fifth part of them, and it is not too much to say that three-fourths of their food is composed of tur- . Dr. U. continued to dwell on the qualities and vir- tues of the turnip provender at considerable length, con- cluding his remarksiwi' ealous exhortation to the farming community to arouse and introduce the aid of scientific discovery in favor of agriculture, and not be behind the rest of the world in this, whilst in manufac- tures and mechanical ingenuity they were second to no nation on theglobe. Among various facts which he al- luded to, was that of the existence of an agricultural as- sociation among the Cherokees, and the export of four hundred locomotives to Europe from this country. Mr. Metas added a few observations, which he closed by the narration ofan apposite anecdote.

In hot oppressive weather he got into the habit of going to bed at eight o’clock in the morning, sleeping the who fe day and turning out at sunset. He then went down to the river and commenced carrying water, with which he watered his cabbages with salt water, and this he did systematically the live long night.

This opera offers great inducements to the lovers ot music and theatrical amateurs, who will meet on the same evening, and in the same opera all their principal favorites, Mlle Calvé, M’mes Cassini and Cquriot, and Messrs. Arnaud, Douvry, Garry, Bernard, &c., &c.

Itis not worth while to dweil here on the talents of the artists, who aie in this opera, their names, already familiar to the public, are a sufficient recommendation, and us for the o.chestra the creditable manner in which they have performed heretofore, under the guidance of their talent- ed jer, Mr. E.

They are mostly cavalry, but their horses are represented as mere skeletons,not having had any other food than for some time, and that being indifferent in the neig' hood. Arista can hardly obtain money enough from the Government to purchase provisions even for himself and officers, to such straits is he driven, while the poor sol- diers are obliged to pick up a scanty subsistence as best they can. ‘Two anecdote show the wretched con rea: and the extreme poverty of the officers of the army. One of the latter lately sold his only blanket to an American for half its value, the purchaser not wanting it, but giv- ing him the money, as he stated he was absolutely in want of the necessaries of life. Another officer aske entlemanfor the loan of ten dollars, and on being q: tioned as to what security he could give, offered his wife @ young and pretty woman of some sixteen years! He had nothing else to offer, and poulfively told the gentle- man she might remain with him until the debt was paid. Difficult as it would appear to be, we fully believe these stories; and these are the people who talk of overrun- ning the United States. Sixty thousand such troops, with sixty thousand Banks of England to back them, could never reach the Mississippi, and yet with half the number they talk of taking possession of Washington.

Another thing : we are more than halfinclined to believe that Arista has been deeply en- aged in the smuggling business between ‘Texas and Mexico, notwithstanding all his proclamations against the contrabandists, and that a large party of the latter have had his secret protection on both sides the Rio Grande, and all for a consideration. The appearance of U.S, troops in the southwest of Texas will in a measure break up this traftic, and this undoubtedly chafes him. He is a tall, raw-boned man, red-headed, and with sandy whiskers, and looks like a Scotchman, We know noth- ing of his parentage, but he would certainly nover be taken for a Mexican. The traitor Seguin was at Monterey a short time since on his way to Cami He styles himself captain ofthe Bexar company, and probably has a number of San Antonio Mexicans under him. ‘Seguin was on the Texan side at the battle of San Jacinto, and tor a long time was hand and glove with the Americans ; but in an evil hour he deserted them, and it is said that he now bitterly repents of his eyes? The above are all the items of the least importance we have been enabled to glean from our informants, If wa can believe the Mexican stories, 30,000 men are to ad- v upon the Rio Grande; but these stories must bo not with grains but pounds of allowance.
