The meeting is eaiil to havu been nno of tho lorgest ever assembled in t In district on a similar occasion, and we learn f rot:, those who attended, that its deliberations were conducted with grant unanimity and good feeling. There was to be sure tonic diver, aity of opinion in the expression of first preferences, but iIicbo differences wcro nt once merged in tho decisive expression of tho majority. Mr. Briggs' friends, we learn very honorably came forward with an expression of their concurrence, and plcdg. ing tbeir cordial support of the nomination. Thus is the question of a candidate put at rest, and tho whigs of this district have only to rally in their strength to 6ccurc the rc-cloctiou of one of thu most experienced and faithful representatives we have ever had in Congress. 'Tis such men wo want at tho present crisis men experienced in legislation, firm, decided, and practically acquainted with men and things nl Wash ington old heads and sound hearts. Such on one is Mr: Allen, and as such, he will rcccivp a support that some men "little wot of." BONDS SPEEClT Wo conclude to-day tho publication of Mr. Bond's speech, and we would again direct the attention of our renders to its startling disclosures its facts, its figures, which cannot lie. Read it yourself and invito your neighbor who lakes tho Senti nel to do the same. And with a view to this object, wo have printed a few copies extra for distribution, which may bo had on application at this office. There is probably no point on which the friends of tho Administration feel more keenly, than tho utter falsification of all tho ecductiva promi-es made by (Jen Jackson and his friend Van Buren, of a "retrenchment" of the public expenditure. An evidence of their sensitiveness on this subject is made manifest in the nbuso of Mr. Bond for his answerable exposition of tho glaring inconsistency of those politi cians, who camo into power chiefly by dint of inordinate promises of reform and economy. Tho entire falsehood of the Jncksonian professions in relation to those matter?, is bo conspicuous, that scarcely on uttempt at a plausible defenco is made. Some journals have charged Mr. Bond with lying outright, although they have failed to designate any particular passago of his speech which is at variance with tho truth. tCTTho Van Buren presses assort that Mr. Bond occupied the floor of Congress nine days in delivering his speech. The truth is, he occupied about six hours, and this by piecemeal during eight days, as he was only permitted to discuss tho subject during a portion of tho hour allotted each day to the consideration of resolutions. JJul we can forgivo them. Time hangs heavy with men upon tho rack; and wo doubt not thcro is many a fat slock. headed office bolder who conscientiously believes Mr. B. guilty of a great impropriety in con suming six precious hours, in exposing tho tho frauds and corruptions of the govern incut. NEW CHURClT" Wo understand thnt the cornerstone of n new church, obout to be erer'' 1 in tho north part of Colchc'or, . 'aid, with appropriate services, on Wednesday nftcr noon last.

It is in tended for tho joint uso of tho Conrc"a tional and Baptist Churches in tho north part of tho town. Each of the so societies. being too email to oroct n placo of worship singly, mey nttVo united, for tho present in a company house. It is to bo built o Brick, about 40 feet by 55.

It will enrich them intellect ually, pecuniarily and morally. II, as Swift has said, Ilo is a public benefactor who plants a shade-tree by tho high way side,' how much moro are they to bo nccountcd benefactors, who contribute, oven their wife, for building a church, in which tho true God shall bo worshipped and the true ordinances of our holy religion maintained. Wo obsorvo among the late appropria tions by Congress, 50,000 for tho break water at this place; ono half to bo expend, cd this year, and the remainder next. CONVENTION O P T II E PEOPLE.

The Election for tho offi cers of tho General and Stato Govern, mcnts, commenced nn the 2d iiist., and was to continue thrco days, Tho contest has been a severe one, and both parties arc sanguino of success. It is probable, how ever, that Roman, tho opposition candidate, is elected Governor, and that tho Whigs havo carried two of tho thrco Congres sional districts.

Pennsylvania Banks. Gov. Ititncr of Pennsylvania, has issued his proclamation, requiring tho Banks of that State to resume tho pnyment of their bills in specie, on or beforo tho 13th of August next. "If" (says tho Governor) "a return to general and real redemption in specio, and a with drawal of all illegal paper money from cir dilation do not now take placo, when all admit that it may, with safety and public benefit, I shall hold it my duty, forthwith, to take all the measures to compel it, which the Constitution and laws have placed in my power."

The Natchitoches Herald, hitherto a Van Buren paper, has hoisted tho Wilis flasr, and says: "our penitence for past errors complete let the publicity which wc give it, be tho lest of our sincerity."

Wc clip the following letter, from Washington to tho Now York Courier and Enquirer. A fow moro such persevering and fearless souls as Mr. Bond in Congress, would soon opon all tho dark schemes by which tho Administration seeks lo reward its friondsand maintain its powor at the public expenso. A Clerk in a De partment, reporting for tho Globo! This is something now under tho sun; In tha dubato which took placo in tho IIouso 011 the lUili, on the subject of up. pointing what Mr. Crockett termed on that occasion,"n white washing committee," for Mr Blair, among other things Mr Bond said that hu hod just ascertained that 0110 of tho Clerks ot the Treasury Department, instead of beinir at his desk in thai donart tiiont, had been umployed, during the wholo of this session of Congress, now nearly sevan months, as a reporter for tho Globo. At this moment, he said ho was so employed. Mr. Hauler, of Ohio, inquired tho name oftho Clerk? Mr. Bond rravo tho name: nildinf. that ho was employed to report tho proceedings of tho Senate, for the official newspaper, tho Ulobo. Uo said It was no excuse that this Clerk had employed a substitute. Such a practice was expressly condemned by the retrenchment nnd rcfurming party, who told tho country, that, to allow thj?, re- cocnizetl 111 on incumbent, "such a sort of properly xn the olicc, as lo enable nun to farm out Us duties, and to receive a pari of Us revenues for doing nothing. And yet he Haiti, the unverutnent took 0110 ol Hs Clerk'', nnd olnccd him in the forvico of its official organ. It was well understood that this Clark was to resume Ins ollice tigniii, when the Bcssion of Congress was over. He did lint think the pc Milo were prepared to approvo this kiml of reform. Mr Bond said ho would add this to other facts which he had submitted to tho country, and he called upon the friends of the Administration here to deny to explain them, il they could. LxTHAVAfSANCE OP THE AuMI.NISTP.A- tion. I ho expenditures ot tlio govern incut, from the commencement of General Washington's administration to the closo of Mr Adam's exclusive of tho expenso of tho last war, tho payments under treaties, and the payments on account of tho national debt were as follows : Washington's ndm'ii 8 jcars, S15,800,G9S 53 2l,31S,2ofi 19 41.I00.7SS 83 DC,011,093 32 7 t,G79,M3 73 49,725,311 26 John Adams' do Jeflcrton's do Madison's do Monroe's do J.

And this is the frugal, economical, reforming, Democratic admin istration of General Jnckson. But Mr. Van Burcti has unproved on the example of his illustrious predecessor. The first year of his administration costs iJ13,554,31 1 being nearly ns much as the total expen diturcs of the twelve years of Washington and the elddr Adams." But while the an nual expenditure is thus multiplied by twelve, tho population has been only mul tiplied by three. The increase of popu lation therefore, by no means justifies the increase of expenditure. It is obvious, loo, that the expenses should not increase in the same ratio with population; while it appears that ihcy have more than quadrii pled, making every ullowanee for the growth and extension of the republic U.

L-ird Brourrham called the attention of the Colonial Secretary to tho proclamation of martial law in the province of Lower Ca nnila; oberviti, with great energy, that such a proclamation in timo of pence in England would hi illegal; he presumed that in Canada it was tho same it ought to bo so. Hu wished to know by whose authority a proclamation had been made, because, without an act of Parliament, a bill of indemnity would be required. But the legislature in Canada had been uboli.-h ed. No b:ll of indemnity, therefore, eonld bo obtained in that country ; nnd it nppenr ed lo him to be n vcrv nice point whether or not a bill of indemnity could bo proposed in the Bnti.sli Parliament.

It was thcreforo with tho utmost satisfaction ho had to state, that between tho Canadas and the United Slates, feelings of natural alliance subsist ed as botwoeu peoplo living under tho same clitnalc, descendants oftho satno ancestors, and having the samo difficulties to contend with. Thero was no disposition 011 the part of Upper Canada in tiny way to inter fere with the Government of tho United Stales; indeed, tho Assembly of thu pro vince had proposed Ihat tho inhabitants of tho United states tdiould bo received in Upper Canada as if they woro British subjects."
