ff?3 The prodigious ascendency O'Connell has attained over tlie Irish nalion by his eloquence and mere forcé of character is almost, ïf not quite, without a parallel in modern lustory. The following extract shows Ihat he is carrying his reforms into the intricate transactions of private life: "Mr. O'Connell gnve notice for iho next day of meeting, that ju consequence of the dismissal of the Repeal magistrales by the government, he would move, in pursuance of the practico followed in the Catholic Association, 'that they would adopt measuies for the nppointment in each district of arbiirators, instead of going, as heretofore, to hostile petty sessions courls, and paying fees to the clerks bigotBd magistrales, and that the assocmtion would have Jegal instrumenta prepared outhorizing the persons to act as arbitrators.' (Loud and prolonged cheers.)"' 0T73 The 'ClitUonian,' published at Dewitt, in this State, contains a Fourtli of July Address by W. C. Chapin, Esq. The following passage shows that our orators are becoming ashamed of slavery. "Yon glorious sim this day shines on Ö?3. fiftem Jlfi millions of freemen. collected like ourselves, to lay their thank offerinoon the altar of Liberty." . Had it not been for the anti-slavery discussion, the writer would have spoken of seventeen millions of freemen, as Mr. Tyler did in Boston. ín this respect, Mr. Chapin has shown himself more sensible than the President. ft"?3 Whigs were formerly supposed to be in favor of the National Bank, then of a National Bank, then some of tliem were for a Fiscal Institute, another portion for a Nutional Exchequer, and the Whig Conveiuion of Calhoun County are now nut in favor of "A Natk)tal Monkyed Lnstitdtioa', founded on the best possible principies.'' A subsequent resolution goes for a National Bank Jike the old one. tt?3 The Whig State Convention, wbich lotely met at Marshall, instructed their gates to the National Convention to support the nomination of Mr. Clay for the Presidency. The Delegates are Mr. Eacker, E. B. , wiek, and G. W. Wisner. The i ng State Conimittee are M. Eackor, T. Mosely, C. N. Ormsby, H. Chubb, D. B. Brown, ill of Washtenaw.

He exphiins the reason why Aboliüonists, who ore all Repealers at heart, are able to contribute so little to the cause, and intreats Daniel O'Connell to stand firm to the cause of American as well as Irish hberty.(C?" The multiplicity of our avocations prevenís our kceping' a tally of the politic.-il ilections in our Iiead, so tliat we are obliged to depend on our cotemporaries. The last Ëmancipator sums up the matter thus: "The Congressioiial elections thus far give 103 Democratsto 37 Whigs,besides Mr.VVise. Democratie majority, 6(5. Ju the Jast (Jon?ress the same States weïe represented by 84 Wliigs and 72 Democrats.

Wheat has advanced a little since last week. The market price to day is GG cents. Flour retails at 3 50. In the New Vork market, on'the 25th uit., Michigan Flour wns sellingr at $4 75 to $4%87. New Wheat was worth $1. The best authorities on the Wheat business diner much as to the probable price of Wheat thiá fall; some anticiputingf n riue from the unfavoruble JOuropcan crops, and a diminuüonm ome of our Wheat growin States while othersthink the increasing product of the Norh west will keep the price down. In this uncertainty, the wisest way for farmers wil] beto sel] when theycan get a foir remunemtory price for their labor and capital.
