Union. The Weather and the Crops. The weather was very changeable during the month of May, and much colder than usual. Snow fell in some parts of our State on the 25th. Great complaints are made in the neighborhood of Buffalo, of the want of'rain.

A destructive hail storm, with stones as large as hen's eggs, visited the Cherokee nation about the beginning of the last month. Wheat, with perfectly formed heads, was shown at Rochester on the 27th ult. A stalk of rye. pulled at Bethlehem on the same day, measured 6 ft. 5 in.

In New England there are no complaints poars, cherries and peaches look well. The appearanco of the grain in Pennsylvania indicates an abundant crop. Accounts from every section of Maryland represent the crops to be in excellent condition. We think that there will be an average crop in Ohio, though corn and grass have suffered from severe drought and late frosts. On the Upper Mississippi and the Illinois the wheat and corn crops are very promising.

In Wisconsin the wheat is luxuriant, and out of dagger from the fly. The wheat and tobacco crop of Kentucky" are expected to be short. Wheat was cut in North Carolina on the 22d ult. N. Y.

Norfolk Beacon. Interesting Discovery. Among the letters and papers of Gen.

On the occasion of the late visit of Mrs.

Alexander thc only surviving daughter of Gen. Schuyler, to this city, search was instituted for this long missing box, and it was luckily discovered among tho lumber and rubbish of some quiet nook, where it had undisturbedly reposed for fifty years It was removed from its resting place, and sent on Saturday to Mr. Hamilton. It undoubtedly contains manuscript treasures of great value, connected with some of those stirring events of the Revolution, in which Gen. Schuyler as a prominent actor.

They left their place banishment in December. The Minenc says Mo risetti was not in company with the other Canadians at Sydney, but belonged to a party of American convicts who were landed in another part of the penal colony these last are reported to have been cruelly ill treated during their captivity. Morisetti did not take his passage home with the others; they, did not meet until they reached Whitehall, and their surprise was great, asihey had not seen each other since their separation near Buffalo. The remainder of the exiles at Sydney were all well some had the means of re turning, but were waiting for their other companions in misfortune. It is said that pecuniary assistance has been forwarded to them, and that there is no doubt but they are all now on their passage home.

Texas It would appear, from dispatches received at Washington to May22d, that the story of the Mexicans, under Goncral Arista, crossing the Rio Grande, and taking possession ofa largo and valuable portion of the territory claimed by Texas, is not wholly fictitious. The Union, referring to this matter, says: Our government is prepared for any issue. Our squadron is off the cnast. Three thousand troops will be on the borders of Texas to preserve our just rights, and to protect her from invasion. But it is highly probable, if Gen.

Arista does not retire within his own shell, the Texas volunteers will be sufficient to clear antl protect their boundary. Captain Stockton was to leave Galveston on the 22d, with tho squadrpn, for Corpus Christi, the Rio del Norte, and Matamoras. OCT 'J.

May God in mercy interpose and allay the excited passions of the people, and save this country from the horrors of another civil war There is a tremendous responsibility resting upon tho European powers, in relution to the wretched condition of this country.

They drove out the Egyptians, whose government, though oppressive, was efficient, and secured quietness and confidence but they have left the country without any government that deserves Ihe name.

Fall River Railroad. We learn from tho New Bedford Bulletin, that tho Fall River Railroad is to go into operation on Monday next, and that cars of rernarkablo cleganco and comrort have been provided for it. This Railroad connects with the New Bedford, Railroad at Myrick's about six miles from Taunton, and of course, in connection with that road forms a communication with Taunton, as well as with New Bedford. By means of the Bos. ton and1 Providonce and Taunton Branch Railroads, it also forms lino of communication with Boston and Providence.

Frost. There was a severe frost in many places in this city and vicinity, on Friday night Inst, doing much damage to tho tonder plants and vegetables, and to the young fruit. Such was the case also in Hartford and other places. Middletown Sentinel, If the Star can perceive a distinction, in principle, between allowing a President or Governor to choose bis own council, and a Governor of Police to choose his, it must result, we think, from the tnsgni fying power of its glasses. Having abandoned its principle of selecting "best men" for the public service in one case, it cannot reasonably insist upon adhering to it in the other.

As to tho "principle" of buying voters with the public money, we suspect that it exists only so far as tho Democratic party is concerned in the Star's bewildered imagination. We have been accustomed to hear such things parroted by the slangwhangcrs for years, but have generally passed them by as idle and unmeaning cant, which even utlerers themselves did not believe true. Matters have come to a strange pass, indeed, if a man cannot hold an office without placing himself in the category of the bribed and corrupted Surely the editor of the Star would not admit this "principle," retrospectively con. sidered. At all ovents, and in the worst aspect of which the case is susceptible, it affords no warrant for that open and direct traffic in votes at which the Star hints.

But we have never undertaken to defend the practice of proscription for opinion's sake. What we have insisted upon is, lhat the "best men" are quite as likely to be found in the Democratic, as in the Whig or Neutral party; and that whenever the former have political patronage to bestow they are justified in bestowing it upon their friends. Office, among us, belongs to the people, and not to the incumbent. By tho bye: Will the Star tell us whether tho spoils of the enemy should go to the victor or tho vanquished Mr. Calhoun.

This eminent statesman was invited recently, by tho citizens of Mobile. to visit that place and partake of a public dinner In his reply, he promises to visit Alabama iu the summer, and extend his journey to Mobile. He then enters into an elaborate defence of his conduct in the State Department during the last days of Tylerisrn; and particular), that pvrtton of it which rclufod to tho minvryry question. Ho points to the success which has (all but) crowned his efforts in regard to the Annexation of Texas, as the legitimate result of his course, but declines to give an opinion on the subject of Oregon further than to say I left it in an unfinished state and as it is still pending, 1 am not at liberty to speak of the course I look in reference te it but I trust that when it becomes to be made public, it will not be less successful in meeting your approbation and that of the country generally. It is a subject not without great difficulties and I feel assured I Bhall be pardoned for expressing a hope that it may be so conducted by those to whose hands it is entrusted to finish the negotiation, as to bring it to a successful and salisfac.

tnry termination, and thus avoid an appeal to arms. Neither country can gain any thing by such an appeal, or can possibly desire it if it can be honorably avoided." Mr. Calhoun is usdoubledly right. Neither country can desire, or hope to gain anything by, an appeal to arms but all attempts at an amicable adjustment of the dispute having failed, what is to be done next? This is the great practical question involved, and one, moreover, which somebody has got to answer. The Mexican Indemnity.

It seems probable, after all, that the money has not been paid to any agent of the United States, which is on excellent excuse for its not being handed over to tho government thereof. The Washington Union takes a paragraph of a contrary tenor from a New York paper, and adds: We are authorised by the Secretary of ihe Treasury to say that he has" received a letter from a reliable source in but it docs not contain the intelligence that the money was ever paid to an agent of tho govermcnt of the United Slates. We further understand that a private letter has just been received, direct, by another distinguished member of our government from Mexico, which states that our agent in Mexico had received drafts upon the treasury of Mexico for the amount of the two instalments, (and had probably receipted for it,) but that, on presenting the drafts to tho treasury, they were not paid most probably for want of means. The idea of giving drafts on an empty treasury is peculiarly rich. We suspect, however, that the real secret of the matter is a disposition to hold back until it is ascertained whether tho Texas breeze is likely lo result in a storm.

The British doctrine, that all treaties are put an end to by a subsequent war between the same parties," is one which might prove serviceable to Mexico in the present shattered condition of her finances, even though an attempt to il luslratc it should cost her fifty thousand dollars. There are more ways than one of paying old debts." ILT The Whig papers are grumbling because three or four clerks have been dismissed from tho sevoral departments at Washington and one of them declares, with an old lady' like horror, lhat there is a power behind the throne greater than the throne itself." Now, when the grumblers hereabout are told that nearly seven eighths of all the clerks employed in the departments are Whigs, who have been in the ha bit for years of getting large pajfc and doing little work, they will ceaso to wonder thut a few of the more incorrigible should be displaced. Ought n't tho "victors" to have a small share of the spoils," say about half? Eh? May a man marry his wife's sister It ap pears by a paragraph in tho St. Louis Reveille, that western savages have decided this quostion. The editor says: The custom of the Oiages is, to have as many wives as can be afforded.

In tho case of thice daughters, the man who marries the eldest is entitled to both tho others, grown or otherwise. If yng, he claims them as soon as they become old enough, without ceremony." 53" The Evening Mirror commends the promptness of the new Common Council in cleaning the streets of Gothamr and says" they are now, at least, in a tolerable condition." The last remains of New York Nativeism, i. e. its mud, will soon disappear under the healthful influence of Democratic rule. No leas than sixteen hundred persons were vaccinated atone (tho Eastern) dispensary in the city of New York, during tho month of May.

The sheriff stammered and apologised, when he took their hard earned goods in payment for the war lax. They mildly replied, 'Tis a bad trade, fritnd. Examine in the light of conscience, and see. if it be not so." But while they refused to pay such fees and taxes, they were liberal to their contributions for all useful and benevolent puiposes. At the end of ten years, the public lands they had chosen for their farms were adveilised for sale by auction.

According to the custom, those who had settled and cultivated the soil were considered to have the right to bid it in at the government price, which at that time wasgl 25 per acre. But the fever of land specula. ion then chanced to run un usually high. Adventurers from all parts of the country were flocking to the auction capitalislsfrom Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Boston, were sending out a to buy up western lands. No one supposed that custom or equity would be regarded.

The first day's sale showed that speculation ran to the verge of insanity. Laud was eagerly bought in at seventeen, twenty five and thirty dollars an acre. The Christian. colony had small hopes of retaining their. farms.

As the first settlers, tliey had chosen the best land and persevering industry had brouu ht it into the highest cultivation lis market value was much greater than that ol the acres ahc ady sold at exorbitant prices. In view ol these facts they had prepared their minds for another remove into the wil demess. perhaps again to he ejected by a similar pro. cess. But the morning their lot was offered for sale, they observed, wnh grateful surptisc, that their neigh bors were everywhere busy among the crowd, begging and expostulating "Don't bid on these lands; these men have been working hard upon them for ten years; and during all that time they never did harm to man or brute.

They are a blessing to any neighboihood. It would be a sin and a shame, to bid on their lands. Let them go at the government price." The sale came on and the cultivators of the soil offered 1 2ot intending to hid higher if necessary. But among all that crowd of selfish, reckless speculators, not one bid over them. Without an opposing voice the fair acres returned to them.

Sometimes shot went tearing through oor ran Ice i.r.d i shaking the of the square where 1 had' been for Fourth of July Great Outburst of Pa triotism storm urewmgr. Iu conformity to the usual custom, a petition was sent to the Common Council two or three weeks ago, asking an appropriation of four hundred dollars with which to celebrate the Fourth of July. This was laid on the table and called up last Monday evening, when Aid. Bokec offrred an amendment appropriating 250 for the use of the Temperance Societies, which, after some debate, was adopted.

Aid. Gerald then moved that a similar amount be given to the Rope makers Society, which was likewise adopted. He was going to illustrate, still further, the propriety of granting public money to the different associations for the par pose of enabling them to celebrate the glorious when the previous question was called, and the resolution, as amended, unanimously toted down as it should have been. We do not suppose that this is to be regarded us the end of the matter; but presume it will be taken up, in some other shape, at the next meeting of the Board, and adopted. The Common Council undoubtedly have the right to make an appropriation for celebrating the Fourth of July, on their own hook, but we do not believe they ore authorised to give the public money to individu uals or associations for that purpose.

The course heretofore pursued in this matter strikes us without pretending to question the patriotism of anybody as decidedly wrong. A few individuals, representing, it may be, some half draen pursuits, convene together at an out of the way place, on a rainy night, and resolve, in behalf of the citizens at large," to celebrate the approaching Anniversary of Independence provided the necessary funds can be procured." Froba bly they don't think it necessary to jog the memory of the Fathers, and teach them by such hints, to be patriotic; but the whole proceeding looks as if they did. Behoving, however, that a man is a man, not withstanding the partiality of his country may have invested him with Aldermanic robes, we are charitable enough to conclude that the patriotism of the Board does n't require stirring up six weeks in advance of the tune designated for its exercise but that, if left to develope itself in due course, it will generally flower at the right time. We don't believe the glorious fourth" could come and go without some sort of official recognition. Why, even last year, when the Board was at sixes and sevens upon three questions out of every five, they voted to ring bells, and destroy powder and if so much could be done then, what may we not expect from a Board which is decidedly democratic? No, no: Messrs.

Fathers. You won't stifle the patriotism of your constituency iu general, and of some rose and expectancy of the fair state" in particular, by keeping the purse strings rigorously tied. You won't send us over te New York, or the Jersies, or Cold Spring, in order to celebrate the day, and leave the rising generation to weep salt tears at the slight thus put upon them. Surely you will not you cannot do it. You will wo feel it in our bones that vou will appropriate such an amount as you may deem necessary for celebrating the day in a proper and becoming manner.

Wherefore, as advice costs nothing, allow us to suggest, imprimis, that $300 is about the right sum secundus, that half of this bo devoted to national salutes, merry peals, and a collation over the engine house and tertius, that a committee of three be appointed, on behalf of your honorable Board, to co operate with such societies, or other public bodies, as may see fit to participate in one general and grand demonstration.

As the period approaches when the Legislature of Rhode Island is to take its final action upon the case of Gov. Dorr, an unusual degree of interest is excited in the public mind. Those who have patiently sub. milled to the continuance of an outrage upon the fundamental principle of republicanism therightof the people to alter or abolish their form of government whenever they may think it conducive to their happiness are looking with fearful anxiety to the issue while others, desirouB mainly of restoring harmony and good feeling to all ranks and classes in the State, arc hardly less concerned for the result. But amid all the various influences which are combining to irritate the mass, it is pleasing to witness the dignified and quiet manner in which they are proceeding.

With "Unconditional Liberation" for their motto, they arc neither to be turned to the right hand nor to the left for the purpose of reviving old enmities, or opening wounds which are, in a measure, healed The taunts and flings cast at the dead lion are suffered to pass unheeded; and the misrepresentations and libels of foreign emissaries are treated with deserved contempt. Like good preachers they stick to their text, and demand that tho will of the people, as unequivocally manifested in the recent election of Jackson, shall be obeyed. We perceive, by a notice in the Providence journals, that a meeting is to be held in that city this evening with the view of adopting such measnres as may be necessary to push forward the cause, and of determining in regard to the propriety of holding a great Mass Convention on Ihe Fourth of July next. Meanwhile petitions lo ihe Governor, asking him to convene a special session of the Legislature for the purpose of jjing upon Gov. Dorr's case, and signed by men of all parties, are in circulation.

For ourselves we recommend the convention, but are inclined to doubt the expediency of an extra session. It might furnish the Algerincs with a pretence for keeping Ihe prison doors closed and besides, public feelino can not be more clearly shown upon the main question than it has been already. We should think it best. therefore, to wait until the regular session which takes place in about fortnight hence occurs. A correspondent of the Morning News throws out some hints, which, in connection with certain ambiguous suggestions of the Journal of Commerce, as niade three or four days ago, would appear to indi cate an atrocity and a contempt of public opinion on the part of the Algerines, wholly without parallel.

They design to introduce and pass a bragging preamble and resolution. extolling the peaceable and glorious vindication of law and and di. atataCTJTO discharged.
