Most of or readers are aware that a Fourier Associaiion under this name has been commenced at Galesburg, in this State. The Alphadelphia Tocsin, wliich is issued by the Associaiion, has a statement of the affaire of the community. The Domain 3 situated on the Kalamazoo river, and is bounded on the north by the Central Railroad. TLe water power is represented as valuable, (there being nine feet head and fall) and 6ufficient to propel a large amount of machinery. A temporarv building has been commenced 591 feelin length. The Assnciation has contained 190 persons, resident on the ground. - But owing to tiie inconveniences consequent ou the want of suitable dwellings, the want of cmployment for soine of the members, the Bicknessof others, &c. a mioority were disposed to turn out the obnoxioas families, and we are told that the división of opinión and action on this 6iibject kept the members "in a continua! turrnoil tbe whole summer, and several of the principal stockholders predieted a dissolution." The difficulties have been removed by the withdrawal of the obnoxious families. A few more resident families can be received in the Spring, provided they bring 6ome cash with tfiem . The future prospects of the Associaiion are favorably represented.05o Hon. J. P. Hale, Democratie Blember of Congress from New Hampshire, has addtessed hia constituents on the subject of Annexation. He takes slrong ground against it, sbowing that the sole object for which Texas e desired by the South is the extensión and perpetuity of Blavery. He also quotes the following resolution offered by Mr. Van Buren, March 14th, U15, when the Panama Mission was under discussion. The resolution was supported by such men as Benton, Hayne, Holmee, Woodbury, Randolph, "Resolved, That the power of forming or entering (in any manner whatever) inlo ew politica! associalions, or confederatie?, belungs to the people of the United States in tiieir Bovereign character, being one of' the powers which, not üeiuir delegated to the government, k reserved to the States or the people." Mr. líale has set a good example of independence to his brother Democrats of the North. The other three Represen tati vea of New Hampshire are of Ihe Athertontichool ready for Gogs, or any thing eise their overeeers aiay order.(t?3 The Oakland Gazelte refera to the conviction of Miss Webster, and adda, ''Hrsry Clat. with characterislic phüanthropy and generosity, volunteered hiá services a6 counsel in lier belialf. The Liberty party, with their accustomed unfairncss, do not raention this foct, in connection with their denunciations of thoee who convicied her." We believe this story about Mr. Clay's 'volunteerhig his sei vices' to be anoih' r "Roorback ." Will the Oakland Gazette give some evidence of what it nsserts, or else take back its fiiiig about the "accustomed unfairness" of the Liberty party? Which will you dbneighbor? 05 We have no back nmubers on hand: heuco we cannot supply tliose who have appUed for thern.
