Superior City, contract from that plat. settlement, in the Hud son 1, ~orities. The following is an extra, ..rom an editorial in the Lake Superior Guide, which presents the case forcibly : The Lake Superior region, comprising the northern peninsula of Michigan, Douglas,: La Pointe, Ashland, Burnet, Polk and allas counties, Wisconsin; St. Louis, Lake, Carlton and Pine counties, Minnesota, and "The North Shore,"- haiing separate interests from the Statesio Which we are 'attached; with ample resources of every description within ourselves to . form a powerful State, should be set off by the joint action of theie States and Congress into a separate government. The necessity for the protection of our interests is dilly becoming more evident from the rapid increase of popu lation and mineral and other exports. We are separated by vast foiests and lakes from our re spective State Capitals, with the distance ranging from two hundred to six hundred miles. A proposition of this kind met with a favorable reception several ; years ago in the Le gislature of two of those States. It appears to me that the time has now arrived for having our rights protected, and our region recognized as a sovereign State. To this end I suggest to the citizen's of Lake 'Superior the calling of county conventions at the earliest practicable moment, and election of delegates to meet in Superior to. take immediate action in the pre mises. DISTRIBUTION Or SEEDS.—Upwards of toie million papers of vegetable and flower seeds have been put up at the Agricultu ral Division of the Patent Office within the put Sixty days, and sent to members of Congress for distribution. The seeds were selected in Europe, by Hon. T. G-. Clemson, with great care, and comprise many varieties heretofore unknown on this Continent. Eachcollection comprises one hundred and fifty-four different varieties of vegetable seeds, and nearly the same number of papers of each variety vary ing from one to forty, as the peculiar soil or climate for which they are destined may Make them more or less desirable. The members of Congress from the seceding States had sent to them the quota they would have been entitled to when in the Union; _ .They took them of course. In or oat of the Union, they take all they con lay their hands upon. SELF INVOKED INDIGNATION.—The following extract of a speech by ex-Presi dent Tyler, delivered in the Virginia House of- Delegates, a number of years ago, sounds strangely, now that this same man, his head whitened for the ingather ing crop of eternity, is spending his de clining years in trying to break up the Union he then so eulogized : "Sm :—I have looked into the distant fu ture, and have there beheld the greatness of free America. I have beheld her walking upon the face of the mighty deep, and carrying glad tidings of great joy into distant nations. I have seen her stretching her arms over the whole earth, and overturning the strongholds of despotisms in the old world. Wo, wo betide the man who shall endeavor to sow the seeds of disunion and anarchy among ns. Better for him he had never been born. It he call upon mountains to hide him—nay, if he bury him self in the very centre of the earth—the indig nation of man shall find him out, and blast him with its lightnings." THz editor of the Mo bile Register tries his spite on Yankee Doodle, calling it a "musical abomination," and saying it has never been heard by him since a boy with out indignation. He says : "It was ever a cold bath to every throb of patriotic emotion, ever made our flush creep and our soul sink into the bottom of our boots —not on account of its name, 'Yankee Doodle,' but because it is a mean, sneak ing, belittling, contemptible tune. If we were on the eve of battle, and were at all doubtful whether to stand or fly, we be lieve the sound of the abominable strain would decide the question, and we would tale to our heels." Of course such a man would run. It always had this effect upon sell people. CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS. The amendment to the Constitution which was passed by the last Congress, before it can become a part of that instrument must be ratified by three-fourths of the Legislatures of the States. If North Carolina and Arkansas secede, there will thin be nine States that- would not re cognize the Constitution, and would, take no action on any proposed amend ment. In that case the Constitution can never be amended unless some one of these States be brought back, or the in dependence of the Southern Confederacy recognized. .eible the na yhe absolute st this moment, _0,000; and adding satisfy the Choctaw and ax debts, to make good the .st fund, and other bpecial ob ae amount of debt becomes $96, ,004. The public debt, four years ago, was only $29,090,386, against which there was a balance in the treasury of $17,710,114, making the net actual debt at tbat time only $11,850,562. The in_ crease of debt in four years has been no less than 884,838,722, or at the rate of $21,500,000 per annum. 4CL or than the Atal in our THE Pown. or TRUTH.—The secession journals 'denounce Mr. Lincoln's inaugu ral with characteristic vehemence. The Richmond Enquirer says "it is couched in the cool, unimpassioned, deliberate len . guage of a fanatic," and with other fire-eat ing papers the calm, circumspect and self , possessed manner of its delivery is a mat ter of •much fault finding. Onr traitorous friends should know that Mr. Lincoln has no reason for excitement or passion. They may remember the anecdote of Swift. When the Dean was arguing one day with great coolness, with a gentleman who had become exceedingly warm in the dispute, one of the company asked, "How do you keep your temper so well ?" "The rea son is," replied the Dean, "I have truth on my aide." THE Wheeling - papers state that Rich ard Hadden, the man who was shot by young M'Lane at the Sprigg House on Tuesday morning, died on Wednesday of the injuries received. M'Lane, ,after having shot Hadden, went across the Ohio river near Belle-air, and commitpd sui cide by shooting lkimslf through the heart. It is thought, from the situation of the earth where the body was• found, and the body itself, that the' unfor tunate young man, before firing the ball into his heart, must have laid down fiat upon his back. The terrible tragedy cre ated much excitement in Wheeling where the parties were respectably connected. Sic NC OF ANAROEY.—The contrast be tween the Texas Convention and Gov. Houston is very significant, for it shows that the secession spirit is anything but universal in that State. Houston will, probably refuse to take the'new oath of allegiance, in which ottse he will be super ceded. Should that happen, we may next look for the the old veteran at the head of a reactionary party. By cunning combinations, combined With bluster and terror, Houston may be thrust out of of fice; but for all that he is by far the strongest man in that semi-barbarous Commonwealth, and he is able to rally whatever conservative elements it may contain. TEE NEW YORK AND ERIE RAILROAD. Samuel Marsh, president, and Horatio N. Otis, secretary of the New York and Erie Railroad Company, have presented a pe tition to our Legislature asking to be ex empted from the payment of the ten thdusand dollars taxes assessed for the privilege of running through forty miles of the State of Pennsylvania. They place it upon the ground that the road has benefitted the State in other respects —has cost forty millions of dollars—has sunk nearly all the money invested in the stook, and pays in addition all the taxes imposed upon corporations in the State. A CHAMPION CLAM EATER.—Among the "champions," little and great, spring ing up daily, the last one we have heard of is an oyster opener in New York, who, after eating an ordinary dinner, on a wa ger of five dollars only accomplished the wonderful feat of eating fourteen large sized bull-nosed clams in six minutes and ten seconds—ten minutes being allowed by the terms of the wager. The clams weighed, after being opened, five pounds and a half, clean meat. The man was alive the next day, and expressed himself as feeling "all right." SECESSION IN TEXAS.—The latest ad vices from San Antonio show that the Union men carried that town after all, at the late election, nothwithstanding the presence of Ben McCulloch's 800 rangers to overawe the people, and to swell the disunion vote, The issue of Union and Secession was squarely made, each party parading with flags, banners, &c. There need be no doubt of the overwhelming strength of the Union sentiment in West ern Texas. QCcltgaph, Saturbag 'Afternoon, itlarch 16, 1861. _,REWELL SERMONS.—Rev.

Wanner, the Demo cratic candidate for Mayor. The Democrats also elected their Tresertrer, Auditors, ;and eleven out of the siateenCoinmon Councilmen. The Republicans elect their candidate for Se lect Council in the North. West and South West wards. • . The total vote polled for Mayor is 2,982.- 1,037 less than the vdte cast for Governor last fall. Many leading Republicans voted for Mr. Wanner, the Democratic candidate, who is per sonally popular and unexceptionable. In ad dition to this, there was tedious opposition made by professed Republicans. The feeling in this city is as strong in favor of the Consti tution and the laws as ever it was, and we have yet to see the man who regrets his Vote for Lincoln.
