The convention which assem- bled in this city, under the impression of many of its delegates that a State ticket was to be formed, has been the most riotous and disorderly set of crea- tures ever met for any deliberation. The politi- cians, both democrat and whig, have been for seve- tal weeks engaged in shaping matters to control the anti-rent convention, and the result proved that the former were successful. When the whigs dis- covered this fact, they sent telegraphic dispatches in every dircction, in order that contestant delegates might arrive be: the adjournment took place; but this scheme accomplished nothing. There were very few anti-rencers proper present who tock ery part ‘n the proceedings.

My last letter was dated Chatham, a Canadian village, situated on the Thames, twenty-one miles from its junction with Lake St. Calir. There is a road from Chatham to Windsor, opposite De- troit, which runs through a well settled coun- try, the inhabitants being chiefly French Canadi- ans; this part of the province having been settled | as early as 1750, by disbanded soldiers from the French army. i | Chatham is a place of considerable business, be- ing surrounded by a fine agricultural country; wheat selling there at from fifty to fifty-five cents | @ bushel. It contains six places of worship, and a | stone court house and jail, that have been erected at a cost of twenty-five thousand dollars. There | are here, also, two steam grist mills, two steam saw | mills, two foundries; andto furnish inmates for the jail, there are a brewery and four distilleries. | I left Chatham, at four o’clook, in a steamer that runs every alternate day to Detroit, which place we | did not reach, however, until eleven in the evening, although the distance is only fifty-one miles, the first twenty-one cf which meanders through a 1 country that must be prolific in fever andague. In | fact, as the river approaches the lake, the land de- generates into coarse sand, the road in that direc- tion, running through a marsh of three or four | miles in width; and during the wet season it is co- | vered with water. Lake St. Clair is about twenty-five miles in | breadth; and its length, frem where it discharges irto the river Detroit to where it receive the waters of Lake Huron through Lake St Clair, is about the same distance. Another river, called the Sy- denham, on which there are mills and extensive settlements, falls into Lake St. Clair, near Walpole Island, at its head. This island is ten miles long | and three or four broad, and is cones by Chip- | pewa, Pottawatamie, and Ottawa Indians. Tne | former were collected together and placed there, | immediately after the close of the last war with the | United States. j Previous to 1837, the number of Indians on the | island did pot exceed three or four hundred; but a proclamation having been issued that ye | ing that in future presents would not be issued to Indians who did not r in the province, several bards of Pottawatamies and Ottawas left Michi- | gap, to the number of five hundred souls, and were | permitted to settle on Walpole Island, whose rov- | ing habits prevent them from permanently settling, | and whore hunting grounds are near the Syden- bam and Thames. The cleared land on the island is ectimated at six bund ed acres, on which are raised Indian corn, po- tatoes, oats, peas, and buckwheat; but the at juautity of land cultivated by ary one Indian, is | about twelve acress. There is a missionary of the Church of England station ——. these people, who receives rmanent grantfor his suppor;. In | 1842, there were up is of eleven hundred of the different tribes on the island, but most of the Chip- pewas bave since emigrated where.

The village con- sists, nelpelly, of one long street, with shops on | either side; and the dwelling houses resemble those | of Amerscan vi! As might be expected, there are inthis part of the | Cana jumbers of colored people, fugitives from the United States, who fird coastant employment, frectving eben cighty cents # day for their labor. ‘Those who reside at Windsor are, for the most part, Methodists, while those at Sandwich are chiefly Baptists.

Toronto, C. W., September 25; 1851. Canudian Politics— Resignation of the Cabiats—De- feat of Dr. Rolph—Dullness of the City~The Fa- kir of Liva. It is great mercy that our election comes round only once in four years; for the little dirty puddle of Canadian politics exhibits wonderful of. fervescence, and the nauseating miasma that arises therefrom is exceedingly noisome and hurtful to the well-being of the community. The majority of Canadian politicians, hitherto, have consisted of a pack of hengry lawyers, who have used every con- ceivable dodge to get a seat in the Legislature, because, beside their pay during the session, they are sure of work during the recess, putting in ope. ration the laws they have been trying to tinker up and palm upon the province. During the session which closed recently, no fewer than 322 bills were introduced, and of that number 177 became laws. One member introduced 22, two mombers intro- duced 15 each, one member 14, and two 13 each. It is currently reported to-day that the cabinet has resigned, preparatory to a new mn, which will take place very ebortly. This event might have been annot sooner, but there has been & considerable amount of conjuring to get asort of coalition cabinet, composed of the liberal divisions, styled reformers and clear grits. The roformers have held office for the last four years, and have iven very great dissatisfaction to all parties; and f order > keep out the third division—the tories— new combinations bave been talked of; but— © The best laid echemes 0’ mice and men ” Gi aft t And it is to be feared that euch a fate will befal the many that have been brought forward. It is consi absolutely necessary here, that the ruling power should have s portion of the press at r their nod, in order to bolster up all their sayings and doings, right or wrong; and no little stir hag in consequeree been made, at the outset of these new foi mations, to get an organ to supply the pace of the Globe, which has become dieateotad. ther two pspers—the Examiner and North American— have bi high for it; but in the last Examiner the movement has got the by, and the American is stigmatized its mn of pede for bread and butter, so that it is likelythe North American will have the privilege of being organ grinder No. 1 to the new cabinet. A leading reformer of the olden time, Dr. Rolph, an eminent character, was looked to as likely to make a premier of the first water, capable of sooth- ing, if not allaying, the war of races.which ever must subsist between Upper and Lower Canada. He was nominated to a vacant constituensy, whore the grits boasted of his triumphant success; but to their utter astonishment, the votes of the deloga- tion stood 20 to 16; so that the Doctor refused tu stand the decision of » pole, and a young farmer,a resident in the district, will, in all probability, walk in with li:tle or no opposition. ere is ne doubt that the Doctor will get a constituéncy, as he is the corner stone of the grit movement.

The Whig State Convention adjourned sine die to-night. The greatest harmony and enthusiasm prevailed throughout tho session of the convention. A warm desire and determination to promote the success of the whig party, and ensure the triumph of whig prirciples, at the approaching contest— the greatest political contest that has ever taken place in the Old Dominion—seemed to ani- mate all the delegates present. I have never wit- nessed @ more sanguine or harmonious assemblage. The following ticket for State officers was nomi- nated by acclamation:— For Governor, Geo. W. Summers, of Kanawha. For Lieutenant Governor, Sam Watts, of Ports- mouth. For Atto General, S. Baxter, of Richmond, the present ‘adeteney. General of ‘the State.
