mae ‘The Literary bape catalogues for the two semi-annual anon to be held this fall in New York and Philadelphia, are beavy in quantities and rich in good books. The managers anticipate o very large at- tendance of booksellers from all parts of the Union, and a lively competition for the better classes of and standard publications. We several months the officers of the bydro- graphic department of the Japan expedition have been industriously occupied in the completion of their labors, at their office in this city; and the voluminous offictal history of the expedition is un- derstood to be nearly ready for the printers. Ita preparation for the preas has been confided to the Rev. Dr. Haw 8, whose extensive and accurate learning in every branch of ethnology peculiarly qualify him for this difficult and important service. ‘The work will be published by the government, we presume in the same excellent style in which the narrative and reports of Captain Wilkes’ Exploring Expedition were brought out a dozen years ago. It will, of course, surpasain interest and value every- thing yet published on the subject in the English language—everything in any language, except, in some respects, the extraordinary publication by Dr. Siebold, made under the patronage of the Dutch East India Company. The rage for biographies of living characters is not at all abated, andthe dignifted characters of ‘wome of the subjects will keep this class of books in fashion. Besides the heavy political memoirs we have already mentioned, those of General Cass will possess an interesting importance, notwithstanding hia final retirement or exclusion from competition for the Presidency. He is really a very able man, and would have an honorable fame aa a scholar and man of letters, had not his political eminence caused men to forget his ethnological researches, his learn- ed quarterly review papers, hia St. John Long ez- posés,and many other things which with posterity ‘will make the ancient Governor of Michigan an at- tractive and respectable character. The Memoirs of General Cass will be in one large volume, similar to that already issued of the Memoirs of Mr. Benton, mndwill be prepared for the press by an intimate yersonal and political friend. The veterans of our commercial community will oe gratified to learn that the venerable but ever youthful Jacob Barker has passing through the press an account of his life and times, in a huge oc- tavo. It will be a delightful book, for Mr. Barker always wrote with signal ability, aud no man living knows more of the ‘atmosphere of Change,” or the rocks or bubbles that mock or betray adventurers in that region; and his familiarity with public charac- ters and great affairs has also been very extensive and intimate. We have seen a portrait of Mr. Barker, from the burin of Rogers, which is to go in the book, and those who remember him as he was a dozen years ago or more, will recognise in it a miracle of characteriétic art. The late Mr. Abbott Lawrence probably left no records of his own history ; but few lives of mercan- tile men better deserve literary illustration. And the fact that Mr. Lawrence had avowed an intention, since his return from St. James’, to collect and print, for circulation among his friends the various tracts, speeches, reports, lotters, &c., he had from time to time given to the public, will doubtless induce his successors to see that this much, at least, is done for NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY. AUGUST 27, 1865. Great State Convention of Irishmen in Mas- sachusetts, At the Massachusetts Convention of Irish tes fiom fifty-five towns in the State, which was held at Bos- tcn on the 14th inst, the following platform and address vere unanimously adopted:>— os THE PLATFORM. , in view of the entangling between the despots of Europe, we believe that the time so P has arrived, when 's difficulty bas eland’s unity.

Resolved, That we cordially invite the Secapecadion of every society, order, or company now in existence, in these States, whose object and aim is liberty for Ireland; in order that, being bound in the links of brotherhood, strong in the faith of » righteous cause, and guidéd by the errors of the past, practising mutual forbearance one to another, we may avoid the rock of disision upon which our fathers suffered shipwreck, become invincible in our strength, with God's help raise up the Irish nation to bea glory to bumanity."*-"""" Resolved, That we earnestly recommend that a general convention ot the friends of Ireland from the principal cities of he Union be held on as early a day ag practi- cable inthe city of New York, for the purpose of carry- ing a united system of action ut the Union ani the colonies,,and to adopt an} to our brethren in Ireland, exhorting them to good cheer, for their triends in America are up and joing, and that they shall le. not be left alone in the str . ess was then read and una- ‘The following spirited ai nimously adopted:— pan ADDRESS Of the Massachusetts Irish Emighant AidSocialy to Irishmen ~ “in. the United State: aay Frtiow Covatrymxs:—The time has at length artived for action, Every steamer that crosses the Atlantic ¢o our shored ‘brings intelligence of fresh disasters, distress} unite in a bond of brotherhood to aid the cause of liberty for Ireland. ‘The moment is propitious—the means are in our hands. Lot us ose them-—ase them with prudence, with caution; but with devoted energy and the determination of men, whose birthright is a heritage of vengeance—vengeance of seven conturies of wrong, of massacre, of spoliation, of raping, of tyrrany, deceit and treachery, unparalloled inthe annals ®f the world’s history. Remember Limerick!—remember Skull and Skibber- reen.

The mind of the country ia brooding over the vastness of the opportunity présénted to it. It resembles the calm of a vast magazine, waiting but a spark of elec- tricity to touch it, to burst forth in a terrible explosion. ‘The Engli-h sergeant seeks recruits in vain, for the aeant spurns the “Saxon shilling,” and turna. with noyant heart to 1eap the harvest with which a boun- teous heaven has blessed the land.

Of recently published biographies, that of Sidney Smith is the most delightful, and it is having an ex- traordinary sale. It is read even by the “drab coated gentlemen of Pennsylvania” with the keencat satis- faction, “except” the chapter about ‘these bonds.” The reverend wit appears in this work in a far more amiablé and elevated character than in the popular ideas respecting him which were current during his lifetime. ‘ In fiction the most attractive forthcoming novelty in tale entitled “ Isora’s Child.” It is, we believe, a first adventure in the sea of print, but the style shows a practised hand, and the nareative ia one of peculiar fascination, betraying unmistakable signs of genius. We are not at liberty to mention the name of the fair authoress, but may remark that she is allied to some of the most illustrious living personages of New England. A more agreeable volume of its kind has not appeared for years than ‘Habits and Men, with remnants of record touching the makers of both,” by Dr. Doran, which will be re-published here in a few days. In curious erndition, extensive, minute, and out of the way literary and personal gossip, and all those qualities which make up the book for a lounger, it is exccilent beyond comparison. The Rev. Charles J. Brooks, the learned minister of the Congregational church in Newport, is known as one of the most facile and accurate of oar trans- lators of German pcetry, and he has added to the benefits which he had already conferred upon the public by producing an English version of the mas- terpiece of Jean Paul Richter—his “ Titan,""—which will show that he is no less entitled to praise in the most difficult species of prose translation. The work will be issued in two volumes, during the fall. Few among our literary women have displayed a more adventurous spirit, or more bravery of nature, than Mrs. Farnham, once the matron of Sing Sing, and the author of some half dozen books, written with masculine energy and good sense. She has in press an account of her life in California, which will create a sensation. Bohn continues to surpass all the publishers in the world in that quality of convenient excellence which distinguishes his editions, and in their incom- parable cheapness, which he is able to maintain by having a market in the United States equal to that furnished by the whole British empire. The main ground to opposition to an international copyright segulation is shown to be entirely untenable, by the fact that the best literatare of the English language ieafforded in our own markets, despite all duties and expenses of importation, for lower prices than American publishers have ever been able to manufac” ture for. The latest issues of Bohn, are new volumes of Burke, Addison, and Defoe in “ The British Cla - sica,” Demosthenes in the ‘Classical Library,” Smith's Historical Lectures, Kelley's History of Russia, and Conde’s History of the Arabs in Spain, in the “ Standard Library.” ‘The sixteenth edition, so enlarged and improved a3 to be entitled to consideration as a new work, of Griswold’s “ Poets and Poetry of America,” will be published in September, with portraits from recently executed paintings, of the leading poets of the country. It will be followed by “‘ The Female Poets of America,” and“ The Prose Writers of America,’ which, together, will constitute a complete cyclope dia of American literature, in thre@ volumes. “ Panama in 1855," is the title of a most interest ing account of the Panama railroad, and the cities of Panama and Aspinwall, with sketches of life charaoter on the Isthmus, by Dr. Robert lag bis went out with the party which celebrated, in th early part of the year, the oponing of the railroad, by be yee to the Pacific.

The seat of government for this Territory is now permanently located at Le Compton, situated on the south side of the Kansas river, in a rich rolling country. It promises at some future day to be one of the most lovely cities in the West. An act has paseed requiring all public officers of said Tertitory to repair thither with all convenient specd. The erection of the Capitol arid othtr public buildings has been ordered. vi = Dr. Stringféliow, the chairman and leading spirit of the House, yesterday offered a resolution calling ‘a State convention to adopt a constitution, and ask- ing admission of Congress into the Union; that for this purpose, the polls shall be opened on the firat Monday of October next, the day on which the elec- tion to Congress takes place; at every precinct in the Territory, the ballots to be headed ‘‘Convention,” and “No Convention.” Dr. Stringfellow remarked—‘‘Kansas was growing faster than the most sanguine had expected, with a population now sufficient to support the machinery of government. We have California as a precedent, and other States have been admitted into the Union with less population. Besides, we are now the seat of war on the slavery issue; therefore it becomes us, as lovers of the union of these States, to hasten by all honest means our admission, knowing that it would partly, if not entirely, allay the present ex- citement.” This resolution passed to-day, without a dissenting voice; also, an act to take the census of the Territory. Talk says there is a population of thirty thousand already; if this ia true, you may count upon fifty thousand by the time Congress meets. Much debate yesterday in reference to the loca- tion of election precints; the act on elections estab- lished all the precints at the county seat. This was violently opposed by many members, upon the ground that many of the county seats were in pos- session of the abolitionists, who would be sure to nse every means in their power to carry out their dark schemes. Many amusing speeches were made on the occasion. I give you a synopsis of Mr. Whitlock's, of Dougias, as illustrative of Western character. Ineed hardly say Mr. Whitlock is a man of strong feelings, good heart, and ardently attached to the Southern cause. He said:— “The town of Lawrence is my home, though I confess I am ashamed to hail from such a dirty hole, and will be, as the bill reads, the precint for my county. The abolitionists can outnumber us in the town; and it is such a rugged place that many, if a fight should occur, will dodge behind the bushes, and, when all is over, swear they had been fighting like a Bengal tiger. He wanted the precint located one mile from town, on a certain beautiful level plain, where every one would be compelled to fight the rogues face to face, or back square out.; he knew no spot better suited for border warfare. Besides, a fine fellow lived on the place, always with plenty of ice and good whiskey on hand to keep up pluck and spirit. There was also a large old house on the spot, where they could rally and fortify in case of expected defeat. But come what may, he was ready for the contest, fair if possible; if not, he in- tended to conquer their rebel spirits by force. His aa was getting threadbare with their resolu- ‘ions and expressed intentions to resist the laws of the Legislature, denying the legality of such body. He knew them to be great warriors at a distance, but could not face the enemy.” A storm seems to be gathering in the Territory. The next election will bring on a fierce struggle, The abolition press keep up the ravings which would otherwise give way to reason. No man thinks of going into the Territory without arming himself cap-a-pie.

Southern feelings are now so wronght uj that every Southern man in the Territory and We ern Missouri would die before he would permit her to come into this Uniona free State. It become a contest involving Southern pride and honor. We feel as if we are living in the good old Highland and Lowland warfare days of yore. It is now slavery in Kaneas or blood, disunion and death. How awful to look down upon this slumbering volcano, An act has just passed both houses to incorporate a railroad from Leavenworth City to Lecompton, with a capital of three millions of ‘dollars. A mem- ber of the Council said that he had encouragement so faras the money was concerned, and had no doubt of its speedy completion. It is hoped this road will form part of the great Pacific railroad, thus making the city of Leavenworth a point of im- peeaee in the eye of trade. toy.

Termination of the Elections—Democratic Tri- umph—Gold Mne Excitement—Situation of the Fidde—Hopes f a Railroad—Trade with the Sandwich Islande—United States Defencee— Mail Route—A Hint to the Post Master General, We have just passed through our elections, in which it is pretty eure that the democrats have been successful. The great absorbing subject of excitement is the discovery of very rich gold mines in the vicinity of Fort Colville, in about 48 degrees latitude. It is supposed that these deposites will rival those of California. Many of our people on Puget Sound are making arrangements to proeeed to the spot, and it is supposed that if the realization equals the promise half of the California miners will seek the same. If so, there will immediately spring up a State of more promise than even California. ‘The mines are about 250 miles from the Sound, to reach which we have two known passes through the Cascade range. The northernmost one is the Snow- qualamo pass; the other by Mount Rainier, called the Natchass pass. The country back of the Cas- cade range is very fertile and fine for stock. It is also exceedingly healthy. This diversion in favor of Washington Territory is exceedingly important, as it will assist in aolving the problem of the most proper route for a railroad. It would be strange, indeed, if Providence had pro- vided such a sheet of water as Puget Sound, without intending a future for it commensurate with ita magnitude and resources. Imagine an internal arm of the sea extending from the Straits of Fuca, 300 miles, in a southerly direction, surrounded by foreste of fir, cedar and oak, and interspersed with islands. Then remember that we look directly on China, and Japan, and the islands of the Pacific. Also, that our waters teem with cod, salmon, halibut, and other delicious fish. The climate in winter is mild, affording range for stock during the whole year. No ice is made here for packing; we have scarcely any snow. With all these advantages, all we want is capital and labor to develope our resources. These the gold mines how discovered will rn ae us. Itis ie oon eae et ba or years hence a new San Francisco will spring up on ihe Sound, on the empire of the Pacific will be established here. A lively trade with the Sandwich Islands, and with China, is already inaugurated. Potatoes, lum- ber, vegetables of ore description, find a market in the islands, where the whaling fleet now congre- gate. There is no reason why this fleet should not make ita head quarters in our waters, from which their supplies are drawn. A recipro- cal treaty with the Sandwich Islands, ad- mitting their sugar and molasses free, would reatly conduce to our interests and those of the filands. Such a treaty, I learn, is in Progress. ‘i The United States have had’ a board of officers inspecting the Sound for the location of an arsenal and defensive works. F The great complaint of our ple is against the Postmaster General. Though Congress appropria- ted $120,000 to put a steamer between here and San Francisco, we are yet without that convenience, and see no prospect of having it. Mr. Campbell’s chief characteristic is inertia. Could you not apply some power to move him to do tardy justice to your distant readers and fellow citizens. We want a di- rect steam communication with San Francisco—not touching at Astoria on the Columbia. Any thing short of this will not pay a steamer—as we are unwilling to have to cross and recross the dangerous bar of the Columbia with the inconvenience of tran- shipping at Astoria. Sooner than do this, we shall use the sailing vessels. Please look at the map and make yourself acquainted with our wrongs, which can find no tongue in eur vindication, unless some enerous one is raised in our behalf in the Eastern tates. Puaer Sounp.
