At Jackson, in Michigan, there wasa State con- vention on the sixth inst., of all opposed to the of tke Missouri compromise and to the e> sion of slavery into territory where freedom was “forever” guarantied by that compact. Free soil- ers, democrats and whigv united the meeting. ‘The difficulties of a ‘‘tusion” were stated previous to the convention to have been materiaily lessened the conditional withdrawal of the ticket some since nominated by the free soil party; for although that ticket was compoeed of men of tried +, who had proved their devotion to freedom by years of labor and sacrifices, it was wisely deter- mined to invite all to aid in forming a new ticket who were expected to unite in electing it. The convention assembled at the City Hall in Jackson, which was found not tobe large enough for the convenience of the meeting, and accordingly ‘it adjourned toa grove near the village. About , three thousand persons were present, and the great- est enthasiasm and harmony prevailed. | pestness and solemnity he warned his countrymen Btrong resolves against the Nebraska outrage, ‘and in favor of the{union of all good men against it, | were ted.

JOHN SARGENT, Secretary. WHIG STATE CONVENTION. ‘The Whig State Central Committee have issued a call for a convention of the whigs of Massachusetts, to be held in Faneuil Hall oa the 16th of August. They invite the various towns to send delegations pa to five times the number of representatives to which are entitled in the General Court, This is an ally large number, and if the call is re- sponded to with the usual promptness, as no doubt it will be, the convention will partake of the char- acter of a State mass meeting, and will embrace re- sentatives of — shade of sentiment among e whigs of Massachusetts. We look forward to | the meeting of this convention with much interest. The issues which are presented to the whiga at the of national and of State licy—are many and various, and it is important hat there should be a full expression of opinion, and that barmonions action should mark our ef- forts in carrying out those principles for which we contend. We have no fear that whig party will not prove he to the emergency which has arisen —that it will not faithfully echo the public senti- | ment of the North; and we believe that with the indications of the feelings of the whigs which reach us from all quarters, our party will still go on con- quering and to conquer.

Our Washington Correspondence. Wasaineron, (D. C.,) July 12, 1sd4. Exertions of General Wool in San Francisco—His Sucden Rout by Order of the War Department— What are the Reasons ?—Inprovements in the Har- bor of San Francisco. Some months since, General Wool, in compliance with an order of the War Department, took com- mand of the Pacifle Division, and made San Fran- cisco his headquarters. Since his arrival at San Francisco he has been constantly engaged in thwart- ing the plans of the filibustera; and by bringing their leaders to trial, has nobly and successfully vindicated the honor of our country. This duty be- ing accomplished, he turned his attention to the partial fortification of the Larbor of San Fraacisco, and while progressing with this important underta- King, was ordered to Benecia. Can you enlighten your readers as to the cause of this remarkable pro- ceeding on the part of the War Department? Can you tell them why General Wool, the second in com- mand in our army, is to be removed from the impor- tant post of San Francisco to an insignilicant village in the interior ? Has General Wool been too zcalons in his prose- cution of the filibusters? Is it that the Broderick demonstration in March last has placed him in bad | odor with the administration? or is it that General Wool is a political rival, whose alone silenced by exile / Throughout the country, General Wool’s conduct has met the fullest approbation. His independent, energetic course was fatal tothe grasping aspira- tions of the filibusters, and has shown that lawless men, however well they may be organized, or how- ever powerful may be their leaders, cannot be tolerat- ed ina country whose cardinal principle is not to interfere with affairs of its neighbors. San Francisco is the greatest neutral port in the Pacific, and should have the means of protecting its pretensions can be inted to oppose the Ne- | own neutrality. General Wool, with that foresight | for which he is eminently distinguished, has taken meons to defend its harbor, and San Frencisco, | which has, since its founcation been utterly defence- leas, has in a few short months been placed in a oon- dition to become a haven of safety to the shipping of. its friends who may there seek refuge. ministration aware of this? If so, why have the troops necessary for the manning of tho batteries in | io been removed ? administration should remarkable course to the iy Hic. slight cause insult one of the oldest and bravest of our generals. It must not, without vin licatiog ita course, leave the great Pacific metropolis without even “a ral’s guard.” T cannot believe that the administration has done this wilfully. It is a mistake ; hut it is not too late error.

The ob- ject of all the de‘egates was openly avowed and dis cussed, to be the promulgation of principles, rather than the mere election of men to office. A majority of the delegates having arrived on Tuesday even- ing, the Glove Hotel was made headquarters, and a ry caucus was held in the celebrated “ Iadies’ parior,”’ in which was held the hard con- vention of last year, when eternal separation from the softs and barnburners, was formally declared, and ever since, and ever will be main- tained. Thomas B. Mitchell, of Schenectady, was chairman of this caucus. After remaining in ses sion an hour or 80, an adjournment was had until Wednesday morning at nine o'clock, when the cbaizman called to order. Though the meeting was | gates, still the eserness to take a view of that “la- dies’ parlor,” about which so much has been written and spoken during the last ten months, indaced the entire crowd to take a peep at it. Tig list of deie- gates being called by Mr. Adams, of Suffoik, one ef the secretaries, it appeared that nearly the entire delegation were present, which was a very pleasiag and encouraging fact for the adamantines. After the chairman announced that the convention would meet at 12 o'clock, at Corinthian Hall. At that hour, H. 8. Cutting, of Buffalo, one of the State Committee, called the convention to order, and nominated Mr. Mitchell for temporary chairman. The list of delegates was called, when every Assem- bly district in the State was found to be filled, ex- mittee was appointed to select permanent officers of the convention, and they then adjourned until after dinner. Upon reassembling, Mr. Bowne re- ro the name of Judge Samuel Beardsley, of ‘tiea, for President. This was received with mach enthusiasm. The Judge was condacted to the chair by Senator Barr, of New York, in the trae style and dignity worthy of the palmiest days of Oid Tam- many. The Judge made a short speech, in which he ponerse the national democracy of the for having sent such a respectable delegation | to the conventions He ridiculed the ‘‘acion and harmony” efforts of 1851-’52, and uttered thanks | that the chain of union had been broken, and he hoped forever. He was Cy iapamena in Franklin Pierce; had served with him in Congress, where he exhibited respectable talents, and uniformly acted in opposition to the abolitionists, free soilers, aud all other factionists. The Judge further remarked, that he hovestly contributed his efforts towards the election of Pierce to the presidency, jadging from | his antecedents that he would administer the gov- | ernment upon the old Jeffersonian principles, and adhere to the national policy which bad character- | ized all previous democratic administrations. But the course pursued bythe President had greatly | dissppointed him (Judge B.), aud this convention, | he trusted, was ready to fall back upon the Jackson | platform, enter the campaign as we did when the | coalition was organized against the old veteran | hero, and eventually conquer as in hickory days. The Judge was highly applauded at the conclusion of his remarke. After the officers were arranged, Mr. Henry C. Murphy, of Brooklyn, moved a Committee on Reso- jutions, the names of which were duly announced by the Chair. Lyman Tremain, of Albany, rose and remarked, in substance, that he d to submit a resolution relating to a caudidate for Governor, be- fore the Committee on Resolutions should make their report, consicering that resolutions of any charac- | ter were unimportant in comparison with ihe right | and proper selection of a de nocratic candidate for Governor. He spoke for twenty minates in an elo- | quent and animated strain, in eulogistic terms of Judge Bronson’s judicial life and character, of hia election by the people to the bench of the | Court of Appeals by thirty thousand major- ity—of his retirement from the bench volan tarily, and retirieg to private life—of his having been appointed Collector of the port of New York, and of his dismissal beeause he would not succumb to the bebests of the administration. Mr. Tremain al-o peid his respects, ia no m: red lan- guage, to P 2 Guthrie, upon both of whom h very caustic, bitter and vindictive. Atter having spoken comp'ete control o he moved that Gre twenty minutes aud obtaining the feelings of the convention, ¢ C. Brooson be unanimously no- ted as a cordidate for Governor. A mighty yell was immediate! e conseqnence, The whole dele- gation sp bi ataneously to their feet, swingin; my their arms and hate, stamping with their fect and canes, burrahing, yelling, clapping of bands, and | other demonstrations of approbation never excelled in any audience, in any convention, in any body of | men whatever. No manner of €nthasiasm could ex- cel it. The members appeared perfoetly frantic with enthnsiaem, and they kept up the roar for a long period. After the exultation became somewhat subsided, Jndge Peardsley, the President, arse, holding a written paper ia his hand, and before he could utter a syllable, a roor was issued forth:— “We won't hear it"—‘We want no excuses”-~“We don’t want the paper read”—"We don’t want to know the contents ’"—*“ ation, question on the re- solution of rominat “Pat the question, we want to vote now”-~*We will have no delay,” &c., which continued for ten minutes, the President standing on bis fect. Sitence reigned a moment, aad the President at ted to utter something else than puttiog the question, when he was aguia inter- rupted with calls for the vote. Some members wished to hear what Judge Bronson had to say, and desired the letter read, when “ No, no,” resounded from ali parts of the hall. The President became embarrassed, and ently essayed to speak, but wes not allowed unless it was to put the question. He hesitated. ~ Again and again the audience called upon him to perform his duty, when, finally, a sten- torian voice was heard uttering tiese words, “I move that the reading of Judge Bronson’s letter be | dispensed with until after the Committee on Reso- | lutions shall present their report.” This came at an opportane moment, and gaye quietness to the | audience and relief to the President, who, taking | advantage of the occasion, remarked that “ he re- gretted exccedizgly having received the note from Judge Bronson, and was sorry it was sent to him; still be was piaced ina whiel required him in honor to present the letter to the convention; he would have been glad to have been relieved | from the responsibility,” &c. The ion waa then taken, and it was decided to witbhoid the let- ter as proposed. ‘The motion of Mr. Tremain was | then put by the chair, which was ado by uni- | versal acclamation, the pillars of the editice sbaking from the spontaneous aye and hurrah of the con- veption—many of the more enthusiastic seemed | willing to split their lungs in the effurt. A nomination so cordial, so harmonious, 89 united, was never made by any assemblage of politicians. There were delegates in favor of Sehell—the Yorkers being unanimous for him—-for ! for General Ward of Westchester, for tis of New York, David L.

This As at the present moment a great deal of politi- cal excitement prevails in this part of Canada, it is as well that I should make such a general summary of its causes and results as may enable the Ameri- can reader to comprehend the actual sitaation of affairs here, and their bearing on the prospects of the annexationists. The dissolution of Parliament after a convention of four days, and without a session, in order appa- rently to protect the ministers from articles of accu- sation, which had been drawn up for presentment to the House, and it is thought would have passed; and the consequent refasal of the franchise to over one hundred thousand persons on whom the House was about to have conferred it, would, under any circumstances, form strong grounds for the decla- mations of stump orators and the diatribes of the prese. But in Canada there are other, though hidden, causes for the prevailing anxiety as to the termination of the approaching elections,which are visibie to any stranger, even on his first day in this capital. It is felt that this Parliament will prove the great assize of the Anglo-Saxons of Lower Canada, and that its decision will fix the ultimate destiny of that race here. To understand this it is necessary to be aware that the present dominant party is, in this section of Canada, purely Celtic, ‘The supporters of the ministry bave been almost exclusively the French and Irish Gaels, but chiefly, hitherto, the former; and to account for this state of things it only requires to glance at the past his- tory of the country. The constitution of Canada originally granted by England, was rendered, in fact, nullity, by the power vested in the Governor of nominating an upper house, or legislative council. This body was entirely in the hands of the English Be gee of the population, and either vetoed every desired by the French , OF made its passage the price of concessions from the Assembly, the lower joure.

Lord Metcalfe, a “high prcteeae’ Governor, took hee gs of the union o govern Lower Canada by apes janadian yates, and at great sacrifice and exertion procured a bare majority in the Assembly.

His lordship succeeded by the ‘2gislative Council toa mee office, and identified himself;in the opinion of the Anglo-Ca- nadian population, entirely with their opponents. A contest of races and creeds is at hand, but be- fore it can take place, the Clergy Reserves must evidently be taken from the Protestant Episcopal rty, originally to the Anglican Church in Canada by the Crown, and now seemingly about to be converted to general secular use, is the only barrier to a perfect union of all the Protestant denominations against the Church of Rome, the greatest capitalist in Lower Canada. Scmef the Catholic organs seeing this, have de- fenced the preservation of the Reserves: with re- markable ability. On the other hand, the whole body of the Protestant laity, (excepting only the | “high church” party, as the Armenian Fpscopalans rv with in- are called,) look on these Reserves ei difference or hostility, and earnestly desire a union against the great and growing power of the Roman Catholic church. The position of this church is curious. Its tendencies aye essentially conservative, and its attitude has been constantly monarchical. Papineau’s agitation, ending in the rebellion of 1837, was essentially democratic—master of the As- sembly and idol of the people, he was scarcely less the enemy of the Romish church than of the British crown, and found no difficulty in passing an act threugh the Assewbly—-a Roman Catholic body— placing the property of the charch under the man: ment of trustees appointed by the people. Tse however, was thiown out by the Legislative Council, compceed of Protestants,who were desjrous of concili- ating the church, and placiug the aac opposition tothe demegogues. Hence that church stood staunch to the crown during the rebellion, which otherwise weuld have confined British authority to the citadel of ere Diamond, and entailed first a long seige, and afterwards a re- conquest of the country upon a grand scale, upon the British—about the largest results to be expected from a Canadian rebellion, in a military point of view. However, events have altered the position: formerly they stood side by side with the Protestant inhabitants in sapport of royalty against democracy, whose votaries were the laity of their own persuasion. But, asthe power of the State has since passed into the hands of the Gallic race, the clergy of Rome transferred their allegiance to the rising sun; they are still united with the State, but now that State is popular, Pro- testant interest is not needed to protect their pro- rty, and the power of the populace, the State and the church is united in the clergy of Rome. They have, therefore, taken a bolier tone, and bear them- selves at once as the tribunes eee and pat- rons of the government; while rotestants, feeling that the Romish clergy are no longer to be conciliated with advantage, if atall, are speakin; and surely tending towards union ina sa ‘at _—= attack upon the temporalities of ics, from which the prelacy of Upper Canada holds the le of that province only until the Reserves shall have been definitel, Siepcond of. When they are cecularized, the div: parties and the ap- proaching session will result in a fierce and endaring contest between Protestant democracy on the one side, and the Roman Catholic hierarchy and monarchy on the otber—an issue naturally iaterest- ing to the American observer; the more so as from the component materials of each , the same conflict will pat the Saxon against the Gaul. In , it is to be obsorved that the Anglo- Canadian race—now wholly in opposition to the ministry, is divited into two seetions—the “ be and the “clear grits.” Tho former ar?

It emanates from a party whose policy, up to the time of Lord Eigin, was to keep Canada @ terra incognita, to conceal all real information, and, when obliged to communicate with England, to sing in a tane of a here loyalty. By this system they kept “the fat of the land” to themselves: they then followed it so long that it became a mere habit, and now theyare ashamed to sudderly change their note, and, in point of fact, they are marching for a republic to the tune of “God rave the Queen.” The weather here for weeks past has delightinl, an occasional thunder-sbower comed alike and tal i iri Ht acc Seer terol ous tit great yf and ie E 3 te rin i peaceful citizens of are coming down he: positionists are to be out at the polls, their it is more likel: et ae Bahia 3 3 i ER vent any col! on the 12th, when will take place in i e payment of +200 ,000 Amount redeemed since, of t) 1842, 1843, 1846, 1847, 1848, and Texan + 87,201, ‘Treasury notes ., Debt of fos sie cities, Outstanding thie day, ° The total ‘mount’ Fe tig 811, the 4th March, 1858..........00.00+0+ 39h) ed that all the stock been presented that is entitled to the benefit our notice of the 20th May last, a statement inthis office the amount. to the United States by rsa There is still out stock of the 1843 for $27,900, $25,500 of which is held.
