Dear Argul propose to give you a summary of thu proceedings of the mass ' Convention which assembled on yesterday at this pluca to mako nominations for the coming election. , A consultation among t tho Whigs previously held had resulted in tall for a meeting without distinction of party, to meet on yestciday and scleci men to e supported by the people. - a As the meeting was (ir several reasons rather an extraordinary one, I hope no apol ogy will be deemed necessary for a history f its proceedings. ' ; 1 - The bouse was called tn order, Mr. Ilto derson mt chair, and P. Henry secretary . X committee oa resolutions was appointed, which, after retiring, through Or. Henry . repor'ted a series of resolutions (or i might erhaps mere properly say that Dr. 'Henry reported 'them alone, ' as upon the discus- . which followed he took the whole rcspoosi. ttiity of getting them up upon himself, and said they had leon written out several days before,) for acceptance and adoption by the convention. ; . . , The first part of the resolutions affirmed tlie doctrine of "popular sovereignty", the "inherent right of I lie people of the Terri- ' tories to form and regulate their domestic fwtAjtiont without the interference of Con- -. fhe Dr, aceowpaened his Teport with a speech in which he avowed his willingness to support the democratic candidates who liad been Dominated on last Saturday on a Nebraskaito , Aduiinistration platform if "they would only assent to his ; remarking . Aat several of them had seen bis resolu (ions md had accepted them. . : This was, I have already said, mass toeeting of nil .parties, and I think the im propriety therefore cf the. introduction of ny question of general National policy auch as this should have been manifest to all but when it was known that in all probability the Whigs were here in the majority, and when it was known that that party had no later than last year laid down a platform diametrically opposed to the one it was now proposed to indorse, tne expec tation that the meeting would do so will appear a inconsistent as it was chimerical and illusory-.The Dr. went on to say that he had always believed in the dnetrine of popular sovereignty, and that this position was not inconsistent with the anti-Nebras- lta sentiments which he was known to have formerly held". . ; . i Td this i have but just to lay that if a tnati tvalloirs"NebraskaiSm sb far as 'b ad mit thai the peCple of the Territories Lave tli ihbeteht right to form and regulate tliCtr tiottiW'i iwiiintiona without control from anv Mr, and that any h wuith prevents' tlicm from exercising this right Is wroi-2 in rrin.Tlo-i.B J 'te right is ' in- 11)1?

II. hcrent1 it must he and that he opposus tbo repeal of such a law as a matter of pol icy only j I say if he goes this fur ho may just as well take the whole don. ' If a thing is wrong in principle, it cannot be right in practice; and if the old Missouri C'Ompro mise was a violation of ihe constitutional rights of the people of Ihe Territories, why the sooner it was repealed the better, and the true principle of popular sovereignty restored, The discnssioQ of this resolution was somewhat animated, and on the rote being taken, it was unanimously rejected, the members of the committee who reported it not even voting in its favor. Dr. ILmry then arose and declared that the meeting was controlled by a factious current of ultraism with which ho had no sympathy, withdrew his resolutions, and putting on his hat, very politely bade us a political farewell, and walked out of the convention. But one opinion is expressed, so far as I know, in reference to this move, and that is that it was a bold attempt to sell the opposition in this county to the present Nebraska democracy. The meeting then proceeded to make nominations. A vote asking the Ortgonian and the Argut to publish the proceedings, also re questing Dr. Henry to furnish a copy of his resolutions for the purpose of having them published as part of those proceedings, wa carried, and the meeting adjourned. I forgot to say that when the vote re specting the resolution was announced, and the Dr. took his leave, our secretary, his gallant relative, followed suit, and we hid to elect a new one iii his stead. The men chosen. are all good and true, and if they are beatm it will ba a greater dis grace to the county than injury to them. " Yours truly, I'rom llie Railroad Record (Cincinnati.) The IPactttc Raltroait -It ran be Built Easily and Eaa Safely. ' ' We have been in no small degree aston ished at finding some intelligent persons among the members of Congress ufllct thnt the Pacific Railroad would not be soon made, or that it could not be made or run. Among this class of persons was the Hon. Mr. Clayton, of Delaware, who announced in ihe Senate, that in his opinion, the early completion of the Pacific Railroad was a delusion. Fpr this opinion he gave no reasons, and we are obliged to think, lias given litilo attention to the subject.; In- leed, the greatest difficulty connected with the sulji'ct is that members' of Congress, who ought to think such a national enter prise as the Pacific Railroad of the highest imjiortance, make it secondary to what tbey call tlw"jviieiq and "platformt" cf trail' ient party controversies.' .. ' ' "' After this real, though not professed, neglect of the subject, the next greatest dif ficulty is to make men of apparent intelli gence comprehend the bare element of the question, For example, it is now frequent ly (though by ire means so often as a short time since,) asserted that the Pacific Rail road cannot be made. If not, why not t The last object we have heard is that it cannot be made in a "wilderness, and through '.'moantains,'' and among ''In dians!" . One would think, to hear such persons talk, that we were living at least a thousand years back ; that no road was ever made is a new country ; that no rail road ever crossed a mountain ; and in fine, as the Chinese say, we are only: "outside bai4ark?,s." Now, as to the first objection, that, the road will run' through a wilder-. nesi, this is of no force, except as to the supply of provisions, fuel, ic. But, does not the objector see that a railroad carries its provisions, fuel, Ac, with it, as it is con structed ? This is one of tlie peculiarities of a railroad. A Pacific Railroad will be constructed out from both ends, and as it is maderwili supply operator with all that they need. Secondly, The "mountains" present no other difficulties than those presented by climate. That this is great on the northern route, is admitted ; butlhis is an objection not applicable in any degree to the Texas route. . The suntmti, on the parallel ot Vi deg., is at least 3,000 feet less than on the middle route or northern routes. Ihe cli mate is mild, and no obstruction from snow and ice exists on the Texas route. This is one of the facts in relation to the south ern route, which is not to be pot over in any way. ' Thirdly, At to the Indian. Does not every one know that the rood, as it pro. cceds, must have station houses and depots each one of which becomes a point fupjmi, easily defended t - The truth is, n railroad is the easiest thine defended on f arth. So far from the Indians attacking it, they will take food care to keep out bf iU way. In truth, thers are no particular objec tiuns id the construction ofths Pacific Rail road, except those which aiiie from the im mense amouot of Ubtr nJ money wnrcu Is retttrtd. 10, ili9 jy to consider this i to cornprt tie nisjnituda cf the OREGON CITY, undertaking with what has been done. Lot us look at It in that way : t 1st. The Pacific Railroad requires 2,000 miles of road $100,000,000 of money. The money estimate is very high $50,000 per milo so that we do not dodgo the difficulty. 2d. Supposing this all to be done in live years, it will be 400 milvi per annum, and 920,000,000. This will require 00,000 laborers. 3d. Compare this work with what ha been done. In the year 1855 admit 3,000 miles of railroad were mado in the United States, whose cost was 100,000,000, and which employed 280,000 laborers. It a p. pears then that in fact the United Stales have made, in a tingle year, much more railroad than Is required for the whole Pa cific Railroad. But it is not required in a single year. If tho Pacifio Railroad were made in fire years from it commencement, it would be more than it most sanguine friends expect. But this would be doing in one year ouly one-fifth of what Is actually done each rear in the United States. For that men and money can easily be found, provided Congress furnishes the induce ment ; aod it u the duty of Congress to do thnt. It will bo a poor excuse before the people to talk of Indian, mountain, and wilderness I The people are far mors sagacious and intrepid than their represen tatives.and will hold the latter to a strict account for any neglect of so important a subject as the means of communication and defence to our Pacifio possessions. Lastly, when the Pacific RailroaJis made on the Southern route, it can be easily and cheaply run. On the parallel of 33 deg. it will ha neither disturbed by Indians, nor the far more fatal danger of Ice and snows. Cars runninj in that equable en mate will be run easily and cheaply, The difference in expense alone will be equiva lent to half the cost of a rond on the north ern routes. But let Congress rnovn ho matter what route is taken. Let them not shrink from what, in comparison with the mighty power of this nation, is but a potty enterprise. I- Farther from Ureal Halt Lake. .

Important Naval Mews. We havo seen a letter from one of llie officer of tho United .State ship Savannah, un lur date of Feb. 11, at Kio d Janeiro, addressed to a gentleman of this city, giv ing somo important information on this subject. It seems that tho English squadron, of which Sir Hope Johnson is Admirnl, was lying in tho harbor of Rio, and that the steamer America, Capt. Hudson, belonging O and suiting from the United Stairs, was there also. Tho F.nglUh Admiral on that morning seut a lieutenant on board tho Sa vannah to inform Commodore Salter that from lute information received, he believed the America to be a Russian privateer, and that alio was loaded with arms and ammu nition fur the Russian possessions jn the Pacific, and that ho full it hi duly to suaich her. To ihis massage Commodore Salter relumed answer that under no con dition should he allow on English officer to search a vessel bearing an American ting. Citpt. Hudson, of the America, came on board the Savannah and denied the charge. He was perfectly willing to bo searched by tho officers of the Savannah, or the custom house ofliccrs of Kio ; but he would not submit to anything of the kind from tho English or French, and threatened, if they sint a senrching party on board, to throw them overboard. On tho morning of tho 12th, anchor message was received from Admiral John son, who was not satisfied with Capt.' Hud son's denial of the charge, but still insisted on the right to search Iho America1. Com modore Salter sent back a warm answer, which was met by a threat on tho part of the Admiral to follow, overhaul, end search the America at sea. This caused tho Com modore to censo all communication with the English, and bend all his energies lo preparing his ship for action. A letter was sent him from tho Admiral by a British lieutenant, but the letter was returned tin. opened. At the timo of writing tho ship was ready for sen, her boats being all hoist ed in, and tho ship unmoored, and riding at single anchor. ' ' " ' The America was to sail tho next morn ing, and tow the Savannah to sea with her, that Commodore declaring that though the English force was treble his own, he would fire upon them nt the first nttcmpt lo make forcible search. Tho officers and crow of the Savannah were excited by the pros. pect of an engagement with such odds, but hopeful of victory. 1 ' ' ' Such was the certainty of nn engage ment that a. number of the foreign resi dents nt Rio had chartered a steamboat to, accompany tho two squadrons to sea, in or der that they might witness tho engage ment. v ' ' . ' 1 ' - ' From advices from Rio de Janeiro, we learn that tho reason that Admiral John son, of the British squadron,' insisted on searching tha steamship America, which touched at that port on hor way from Now York via Pemambtico to San Francisco, was that he had received an affidavit from Samuel Adams, lata second mate of tho America, charging that she had guns con- Coaled under horcoul, And also ammunition; that she had two sets of papers, nnd that while sho claimed to bo an American vessel she was In fact a Russian privateer. Cdmmodoru Sntter, of tho American squadron, called Capt. Hudson of the Amer ica on board the frigate Savannah, and questioned him as to this statement. Tho charge was strenuously denied, and accom panied with a request that a searching par ty should be sent on board. This request the Commodore granted. Tho result was that Ljeut. Le Roy and Boatswain Whit akor, who' led the searching party, reported in writing that they had examined every part of the America possible, and that no vestigo of the alleged ammunition was found. Capt. Hudson was onco connected with the United Slates Navy. The man Edwards or Adams was shipped at Rio as second mate of tho America, but was discharged tho same day as incapable of doing tho duty of that office. Washington Organ.

V.UVt'U of lntenivrrtiare to Maltamat 1 austry, The result of national iudustry depend on the aniuuiit of well-directud intellectual and physical poncr, But intemperance paralyzes and prevent both these spring of human action. In the inventory of national Io by In teinperuucu, may bo set down the" labor prevented by ilidoleiice, by debility, by sickness, by . quorrcls and litigations, by gambling nnd idleness, by 'mistake nnd misdirected c lJurt, by improvidence and wastefulness, and by the shortened dale of humun lil'u nml activity., Little wastes in grent (tiibii!.hiiieiils constantly occurring may d feat the energies of a mighty capi tal. Hut where the intellectual and mus cular energies are raised to tha working point daily by nrduut spirits, until llie agri culture, and commerce, and arts of a nntion movo ou by tho power of artificial stimulus, that moral power cannot bfl maintained which will guarantee fidi-liiy, and that phy sical power cannot be preserved and well directed, w hich wUI insure national pros erity. The intiion whoso immuiiso euer prise is thrust forward by tho stimuli! of ardent spirits, cannot ultimately escape do bility and bankruptcy. W hen we behold an individual cutmTin youth or mid.llo ago, or witness the waning energies, improvidence, and unfaithfulness of a neighbor, it is but a single instance, and we become accustomed to it ; but such instance nro multiplying in our land in every direction, and are to be' found in ev ery department of labor, nnd the amnuulof earnings prevented or squandered is incal culable ; to nil which must be added the ao cumulating and frightful expense incurred for tho support of those and their families whom intemperance has made paupers. In every city nnd town tho poor-tax, creat ed chiefly by intemperance, is augmeuiing. Tho receptacles for tho poor are becoming too strait for tlieir accommodation. : Wo must pull them down and build greater to provide accommodations for the votaries of inebriation ; for tho frequency of going upon iho town has taken away tho roluc tance of pride, and dostroyed the motives to providence, which the fear of poverty and sulFering once supplied. The prospect of a dosiliut old age, or of a suffering family, no longer troubles the vicious portion of our community. They drink up their daily earnings, aud bless Cod for the poor house, and begin to look n it a of right, the drunkard's home, and contrive lo arrive thither as early ns idlenoss and excess will give them a passport to this sinecure or vice. ' Thus is the insatiable destroyer of indurstry marching through the hind, rear ing poor-houses, aud augmenting taxation ; night and day, , with blaeplc activity, suuuiii!orIng property, cutting tho sinews of indus ry, undermining vigor, engender, ing disease, paralyzing intellcOt, impairing moral principle, cutting short the dale of life, nnd rolling up a national debt, invisi ble, but real and terrific ns the debt of Eng land; continually transferring larger and larger bodies pf men from tha class of con tributor to tho national income, to tho clast of worthless consumers. ' ; ,i . : '." : : Add to the loss sustained by the sub traction of labor and the shortened date of life, the sustaining of tho poor, created by intemperance, and tho nation Is now taxed annually more than the expense ;whlch would bo requisite for the maintenance of government, and for tho support of all out schools uud colleges, and all the religious instruction of tho nntion. Already a por tionofthe entire capital of iho nation is mortgaged for the support of drunkards. There seems to bo no other fast proporty in tho land, but ihis inheritance of tho in temperate ; nil oihor riches may lake , to themselves wings and fly away. But un til tho nation is bankrupt, according to tho laws of tho State, the drunkard and his family must have a home, should lh pauperism of criino augment in this coun try ns it has done fora lew years past, thero is nothing to stop tho frightful result which have come upon England, 'where property is abandoned in somo parishes, because the poor tax exceeds the annuul incomo. ,You who nro husbandiiiun, nre accustomed to feel as ifyour houses nnd lands wore wholly your own J but if you will uncertain tho' per centngo of nntin.il taxation levied on your prope'rty for the support of the intemperate you will porceivo how much of your capital is held by drunkards, by a tenure ns surely ao if held under mortgages or deeds of warranty. Your widow and children do not take by descent more certainly, than tho most profligate and worthless part of community. Every intemperate and idlo man whom you behold tottering about the streets and steeping himself nt Iho store, regard your houses and lands as pledged to tako caro of him, annually puts hi hands deep into your pockets, mid eats his bread iu the sweat of your brows, instead of his own and with nmrvellous good nature you bear it. If a robber should break loe on the highway to levy taxation an armed force would be raised to hunt him from society., Hut the tippler may do it fcarh ly in open day, and not a voice is raised, not a linger is lUten. uccmcr. .-The Chinese rebellion par8 to ba making head agniu.-t the UovrnmeuU yln Kwangbi the rebels havo been successful, and have entirely y.osscssed lhemrlve 'f threeprcf.ctu'Dtin lheprovincc of Kiongsi, which i'hrcuten to Interrupt iho Irsnsit from the tt.i and silk producing country.
