Why these worthiee have grown gray in the support of regular nomi-natione, if we were to take their word for il. tt is a well known fact, that for thirty yeaYs past; and morp that whenever one of the family," has failed to receive a nomination, some excuse or pretext has ever been found, whereby they would bolt. Do these men recollect bolting when Rollin C. Mallorv received the Republican nomination (by a State Convention, under a general ticket) as a candidate for Congress over Orsamus C.

Merrill Do these mr recollect hert Richard Skinner was nominated for member of Congress in this District, of bolting, and in the end, causing Jonathan Hunt, A Federalist to he elected So it was time and again, when Merrill was the standing candidate for a nomination. How often have they bolted when such men as William C. Bradley, John Kellogg, Charles K. Field, Daniel Kellogg, and Jona. tlteU 63 The Union it the leading orglffof the friends of and speaks by Authority," in whatever it says of hie feelings and intentions.

Indeed, the Editor declares that private letters from Gen. Cass authorize them to say, that he will not only veto the Wilmot Proviso, but any kindred measure. In what a position docs this assurance of the editor of the Union place Gen. Cass Can degradation or subserviency go farther Not only does he pledge himself to veto the Wilmot Proviso, which is a simple ordinance to prevent the exension of slavery, but he avows himself ready to veto any kindred measure In plain language, any law of Congress placing the least restriction upon human chnt-telism, will never receive his approval AnJ yet men of the North freemen ate solicited to give their suffrages to him We do not inour heart believe there can be a solitary citizen of our free State of Vermont, who does or can concur with Gen. Cass, identical with those amploysJl.

In Kilkenny, in consequence of a report which had no foundation, of the issae of warrant for the arrest of Dr. Crane, a magistrate, and the leader of the confederates in that quarter, the populace made a formidable demonstration, and barricades were erected in the town. The Tipperary Vindicator gives an account of the airest of some persons at Templemore charged with drilling and training. Bail lias been refused, and the prisoners are committed to Nenngli gaol.

The military force in Dublin University lias been increased by a detachment of the 71st regiment, and last night the guard on duty at the College was doubled. The accounts on the 20th from Tipperary and other paits of the south, icgarding the preparations for an outbreak, are of a very serious and alarming character. In the House of Commons, July 21st, Lord John Russel said I rise to give notice that I will, at the sitting of the House at 12 oclock to-morrow, move for leave to introduce a bill to enable the Lord Lieutenant or other chief governor or governors of Ireland, until the first day of March, 1849, to apprehend and detain any person or persons suspected of conspiring against her Majestys person and government.

Gentlemen Your letter inviting m. to attend and address a meeting to be held in the Park on the 18th to ratify the nomination of Mr. Van Ruren, and asking me, in case I cannot, to furnish the opinions of the late Silas Wright, so far as known to me, on the momentous and absorbing topic of the day, was received this morning. My views of propriety, considering my official position, as well as my official duties, equally forbid my participating in politicdl meetings. Your request for information concerning the opinions of Gov.

Wright, I do not feel at liberty to decline, especially as they have recently been the subject of discus sion id several public journals. His views on public questions were always freely com municated to his friends. Those relating to the subject of slavery and free territory were not made exceptions. His opinions in favor of the right of petition and the inviolability of slavery in the States where authorized by law', either by Congress or other States, were, on imjioilant occasions, clearly and impartially expressed, id the most public manner. While public life, the question of free territory was nol pressed in a form require any official action by him.

20,000 stands of disused military flint muskets have been purchased in London for the use of the insurgents, and all coming over in batches Hyland, the noted pike-maker, has left Dublin, for Carlow, with a large consignment of pikes. The rebels have prepared a map of the City 'of Dublin subdivided into districts in each of which the points at which the clubs are respectively to imrster, and where barricades are to he thrown op, are indicated. It is now arranged that if, upon the formation of the jury to try Duffy or hi? fellows it shall appear probable that conviction will lie had, the clubs are to rise immediately, and prevent the tiial by an anticipatory, and as they hope, a successful outbreak. One of the Cork papers of the 15th gives the fallowing respective a thicatencd ma-sa-cre: A circular was read on Wednesday evening July 12, at some of the clubs in this city, it was directed to the PiesiJcnt of each club, sundry directions respecting the organ-1 zzation, and exhorted all to be ready against, we understand, the 8th of August. At present there are said to be 162,000 of them aimed, ammunitioned and drilled mid waiting but the word to rise.
