Several weeks ago we published an account, lo the elTeci that Lord George Paulet, com mander of the British man-of-war, Carysfort, had taken formal possession of the Sandwich Islands, in the name of the Queen of England, under the pretext of resenting an alleged in sult upon tho English Consul. W-e regard this seizure of a group of defenceless Islands, as one of the greatest national outrages which has been perpetrated for many years, and are glad to see that the Press of the country, gen erally, look upon il as such. The only alleged act of impropriety which the authorities of the Sandwich Islands were guilty of, was the ar rest and holding to bail for his good behavior of the British Consul, after that individual had repeatedly violated their laws, and openly defied restraint. This was considered by Lord George Pauiet a sufficient excuse to place himself in hostile array against the Islanders, and demand their submission to the- British Crown. They being unable to resist his power, were com pelled quietly to submit to the yoke thus im posed upon ibem. The relations which have for vears existed between these Islands and the United States, make-ihis,fiagrant violation of their rights par ticularly aggravating to the people of this country. We believe Commodore Jones, of the U. S. Nary, was the first petson who ever visited the Sandwich Islands in a national "vessel, and took possession of them in the name of his Government. This was while the inhabitants were yet in a rude and uncivilized) condiiio'n. But the benign policy of our Gov-' eminent has always been to extend liberty throughout the world, and therefore instead of claiming them as subjects, which it might have been done by the right of discovery or posses sion, Congress soon recognized them as a free and independent nation. Our benevolent-and religious societies saw a new field opened here for the extension of their labors and usefulness. They sent numerous missionaries to them to preach the Gospel, and wc are happy to say, that no where have those heralds of mercy been more successful in making converts to Christi anity. In a commercial point of view, the trade of tho United States with these Wands, has exceeded that of all other countries com bined ; and they also served as a central point for the rendeavons of our vessels, bet ween our ports on the Atlantic, and our possessions tin the Pacific. These things were all well known to the English, and' may possibly have actuated them in their conduct. But whether this of some thing else was their secret motive for the out rage which has been committed, il becomes our government to act with promptness and en ergy in. the matter. A great and powerful na tion, benron conquest, has undertaken to op press a weak and unresisting gorernment, without any just cause or pretext for the act; ud: it becomes the United States, and every other mercantile power, to see that justice is done to the- oppressed. The ambitious and grasping policy of England -must be checked. The interests, as well as tho honor and digni ly of the nations of the globe require it. We luope therefore, that our Federal officers, in stead of continuing their political pilgrimages will returu and attend to their duties at Wash ton see that justice and equity is done be tween nations, and that the rights of our citi zens are not Jost or compromised. Georgia., A locofoco State Convention wa recently held at- Milledgeville, Georgia, at which the 'lion,. JohnC. Calhoun, was unanimously nom inated' for the Presidency, and delegates ap pointed to a National Convention. The Hon. Mai k A. Cooper, was nominated as a candir cMe for Governor. Ho is a strong .Calhoun A Laimcli., t)n Tuesday last the U. S. Frigate Raritan, was launched at fihe Thiladelphia Navy Yard." Thousands of citizens assembled lo witness the sight, and the scene is represented as hav ing been one of the most brilliant kind. The yard and the adjoining wharves were crowded with human beings, and life Delaware was filled with boats, sloops, steamers, &c. loaded with people, and elegantly decorated with flags, &c. At fifteen minutes before 3 o'clock, the signal was given; and the vessel descended gracefully and majestically into her destined element, amid the firing of cannon and tho cheers of the assembled multitude. The Rar itan is a Frigate of the largest class, measuring in length 181 ft. 7 in. and in width 4G ft. 2 in. Her sheet anchor weighs 6700 pounds her mainmast is 105 ft. high, and she i3 pierced .fot G4 guns. She was began in 1820, and has remained on the stocks ever since. Her masts, rigging, sails, boats, &c. are all completed, and will be forthwith arranged. The launch was altogether successful, and one of the most beautiful that ever look place. Secretary Upsher, and Commodores Barron, Shubrick, Read, and Ridgely, Were among the number on board, when she was committed to the deep. Delaware Division. The Commissioners appointed by the Leg islature to sell tho Delaware Canal, not having sufficiently shown their ignorance and incom petency, on the 1st inst. when they endeavor ed to dispose of the stock, met again in Phila delphia on the 1 1th, and appointed a committee of five lo prepare and present a plan, to an ad journed meeting on the 26th inst. for an imme diale sale of the Canal by public auction, re serving to the Legislature the powe'r to reject or confirm such sale, as it may think proper, The plan is altogether unfeasible, and can be productive of nothing but cost and trouble to the Commonwealth. Let us wait till fhe Leg islature meets, and then have the Canal sold according to law. Ceutemrary Celebration The one hundredth anniversary of the foun ding of St. Michael's (Lutheran) Church, in Fifth street above Arch, Philadelphia, was celebrated on Wednesday last with appropriate ceremonies. The German Evangelical Luth eran Synod of Pennsylvania, being in session, at St. Paul's church, at the lime, attended in a body. The scene was imposing and solemn. For a whole century, three generations of men, have worshipped and offered up their adora tions, in that consecrated house, to the Most High. Philadelphia Firemca. Tho Philadelphia firemen have become such rowdies that a fire, or even an alarm, can no more occur, without their having a brutal fight, and some of them getting their heads and bones broken. We think it is high time for the City and County authorities to do some thing to abate the evil. It has become a thor ough nuisance, and is no longer to be tolerated. Not only the character of the City, but also that of the Commonwealth, begins lo suffer by it. If the authorities of the City and Liberties will or cannot put a stop to it, the people of the country will be compelled to make application to the Legislature, next winter, lo apply a rem edy. Repeal Meetings. The Country is beginning to got alive lo, the. subject of the Repeal of the Legislative Union between England and Ireland. Large and en thusiastic meetings have already been held in all the principal oities, and in some of the in land towns, at which the strongest sympathy was expressed for poor and oppressed Ireland. Collections of mon&y, to aid the Rspealers to agitate tho subject at home, were also made. We hope soon to see many of the nations of Europe following the example of the United States. If they tlo, England will feel herself bound to submit to the moral sense of tho world, and yield to the rightful demands of her Irish subjects. The Murderer piscoveved. The Grand Jury of Warren county, after having had the circumstances of tho late mur der at Changewater, under examination about ten days, on Thursday last found five bills of Indictment against Joseph Carter; for the mur der of Mr. Parke, Mr. Castner, wife, and child, and for an attempt to murder the boy, wtio was Providentially preserved; Carter is" the son-in-law of Mr. Abner Parke, brother of the deceased.

The Military, Free Masons, Odd tls Fellows, and other Societies, were out in greai force. As the Procession moved on, a aaluio r i c .u t . vr ' ir t it was fired from the Boston Navy Yard, and the bells of that City1 and Charlestown rung out a lining peal'. The music of a dozen excellent Bands, also hfelned to heiphton tho niimni. ' ' and filled the air with melody. At 1 o'clock, tho President and his Cabinet, rode into the area in front of the Monument, look their seats on the Speakers platform, and were loudly cheered.- They were followed by the Governor of MassachuseWSj aiid his Suite, who were also received with loud demonstra- lions of respect.

A man with a small family and smaller means may soon make him self independently comfortable in al most any portion of Wisconsan. Land is cheap, the soil productive, abun dantly so the climate is acceded by every resident to be the most condu cive to the health of emigrants over that of any other portion of the Uni on.
