In this bpdy, the Northern and" Western Sterna *ere gentailly fully repmented • • and three. Piths-Southern, viz Missonn, South tirolinittand Geor 4 rja. tin calling to order, James L Benton of .ButWo was appointed Chairman, srnd sahnequent ly, Edward Bafes of Missouri was chosen Presi dent, with a numbei of Vice Presidents 'and Secre taries. An attempt was made to thrust Thomas Cor win of Ohio forward, for the presiding htficer,' by soma of his injudicious friends, but it was opposed, and he himself had , the good sense to decline.— Many of the prominent men of the several States were present;and letters were received from oth ers, and incor p orated in the proceedings. The first letter laid before the. Convention was that of CoL Benton. The Missouri Statesman takes judicious gronnd otr'the subjeet at'issne„and shows by reference to the public acts of his long life, that be has always been a friend to the vast interests embraced in the c-ornmerce and naviga tion of the lakes and river's of the North and great West. The next letter read to the Convention was _that of Silas Wright, which teens to have been hailed vitli a lively satisfactiou ;by the vast assemblage ; and to have been received with equal favor by the:, people and the press, at large. Mr. Wright fully: understands the value of our immense inland com merce, and has no more doubt of the propriety and Constitutionality of constructing }arbors, &c., by the general Government, on our great lakes, than lie has of its ability to make like improvements on the Atlantic coast. But Mr. Wright would discrim• irate closelyi. and confine the public appropriations to such objects as 'are man:fest. ly of pfbtic and gen eral utility. Mr. Wright's fetter, which is already, la-e perceive, regatded as a chart for the future safe action of the Gotern*ent, will be found ih another colurne. Leners wire also eired from Mr. Van Buren, Mr. Clay. Webster, , .cs and others. Mr. Webster's views are-broad ,gh to cover every thin'. He has no Constitutional wrtdes, and conceives that the general govertinient, can•with great propriety. build harbors, and clear and deepen rivers, yid in finimm. wile- ever. any one may desire. The Convet.:ion world seem to have taken this view of the questions before them : and iii the re soluti ons they hare sent forth, or declaration of principles, (tatilerf-tood to have been drawn- by J. C. Spencer. Of Nelty York,) there is little or noticing objectionable. The tone is firm, but moderate ; and such as ill, who admit the power of Govern ment to prcivide for the- common defence, to pro niche the general welfare, and regulate commerce and internal trade and navi.mtion, can agree to.— The important positions assumed by the Conven tion. are as follows : I. The separate States having yieldeti to the General Government the revenues of commerce, and the riuht to rrilate, it both with foreign na tions and between the several States, it becomes ohlizatory on Congress to take care of it., to af ford if all nexes.sary and give it a free ex pansion. 2. This obliumitin has almays been recognized since the thundatioi of the . ' rovernment. in the buil ding of piers, lightliours, I . larbors, and breakwa ters. both on the Atlantic coast, to accommodate foreign commerce: and. though to a less extent. on our Lak k es and naviguble rivers for the benefit of trade tfetween the Slates—mid by removitcr ob structions from rivers—so that the general princi'de inv.olred may now 13e considered settled : and this interpretation of the Constitution. to have lw-en-ron firmed. by the judgment of all 'administrations and the People. 3. That in consegnenee of the peculiar dangers of the navigation of the lakes, arising froni • the want of harbors for shelter. and of the Wesrem riv *ls from snags and other obstructionS, there are parts of the United States more emphatically de manded the prompt and continued care of the Go vernment to diminish those dangers, and to protect the property and life exposed to them and that any one who can regard , provisions for those purposes as sectional. local and not national; must be want ing information of the extent of the commerce car ried on "upon those lakes and rivers, and of the amount of teeming population occupied or interes ted in that navigation. 4. That having regard to the relative population of the extent of commerce, the appropriations here tofore made for the interior rivers alai lakes and the streams Connecting them with the oceans have not beett in a just and . fair proportion to those made for the benefit of the Atlantic coast, and that the time has arrived when this injustice should be cor rected in theoanly mode in which it can be done by the united, determined and persevering efforts of "those whose rights have been overlooked. 5. That independent of this right to pmtection pf " Commerce among the States," the tight of • 4 cool , mon defence"- guarantied by the Constitution. en titles those citizens inhabiting the country. bordering neon the interior lakes and rivers, to such safe and. convenient harbors as mar afford shelter to a Navy, whenever it shall be rendered necessary by hostili ties with our neighbors, and that the construction of such harbors cannot safely be delayed to the time which will demand immediate use. The delegates in attendance ,numbered several thousands:the pmceedings weft. harmonious: and good can hardly fail to accrue from the mete fact of timing the public eye on the importance - of the vast and growing internal trade of our country. NM'M ill, - 22. 1547 Another Voice from Mexico. A Soldier in .Gen. Tarlors army after having , readiTorn CorWins 'speech writes home as follows. Corwin denounce the'soldiers as bring "merce nary robbers," and hopes the Mexicans will. wel come them to "hospitable graves - --he says their glory consists in having "murdered a Mexican wo man," &c. You can but faintly imagine the feeling of our men, at seeinzsuch lanvage and sentiments , in the speech of an Ohio Senator! A soldier is sensitive of his honor—this feeling grows upon him by intuition—it is one of the pe culiarities of his avocation—and yet nothing is more natural than that it should be so. He leaves his ' home, his friends, his associates,. his eomfort.s- and luxuries, and voluntarily takes upon himself the trials, hardship and sotteritws of a soldier's life, and he does this not for the love of money or pe enniary gain—eight dollars a month present but slen der temptations--bnt he does it to defend his coun try's rights, and to avenge her wrongs! Such men lose their philosophy when they read the jeers and insults of a cowardly miscreant—Ate falsehoods and calumnies of a traittirouS scoundrel, like Tom Corwin, who would see his county ferever ruin ed and disgraced before. he would milder a mus ket in its defence.. Let me say to ou, sir, that if we had him here about this time,o. betterhe Ohio Regi f ments would ask n sPort han to avenge the t'eproach and insults aimed at them by this man, than HANGING HIM ON THE FIRST TREE, in lieu of his hid efli,,t7 !
