ing fact, and produced the effect of a clap
of thunder
Whatever exceptions might have been
taken to the wording of the document, or
to the manner in which it had been put
forth, there was still the great fiact, that
these three hundred and twenty-fivo sign.
era. had. pledged themselves 'before the
fade of heaven and the world, to the broad
principles of Annexation with the United
States.ofAmerica, and the severance of
the allegiance from England! The first
step has been taken. We have passed
the Rubicon. And like the whirlpool of
Ciarybdis, this agitation must soon hurl
within its vortex, and swallow up, all mi.
nor questionsofparty strife.
At the "meeting inst night no further
step was taken, it being thought better
to allow the manifesto to stand over for a
while, for the purpose of ascertaining what
'would be its alrect on the country, and to
allow time for as many as chose to commit
'themselves to the broad principle of An.
nexation to do so, then to call a meeting o f1
all such, and decide upon what organiza
tion it might be the best to adopt succes.
fully to carry out their object. This
havinig been understood, the meeting was
not large. .
We are anxiously waiting in the mlean.
time to see what will be the etTect of the
Declaration of the three hundred and
twenty-five signers on the country. There
is-no doubt ofthe sympathy of the French;
hut, in Upper Canada it will likely have
-to run the gauntlet. The Ministerial Pilot
ofthis morning, does not attempt to impugn
the respectability of the signers of the
document, both radical and tory, the tone, I
it admits is unexceptionable; and, with in.
stinct it makes its attacks on pa rty grounds
-not believing that such a conglotnera
Lion of Radicals n'nd Tories can ever work
together. The Gazelte says that no doc
ument could be more respectably signed
-admits its-sympathy with the end pro.
posed-but takes exception of form. The
Herald and Courier are the organs of the
movement. The Transcript remains the
organ of ithe loyalist party, and accuses
the Herald with traitorous defection-and
augurs a struggle. Jt says the cr'y wiltl
yet be Canada for. the Canadians, and
that th old flag which they have all Ilovedh
so wvell, will not be lorn dowvn, but amidst
tears and breaking hearts, wheni all has
been done to prevent such a consuminma
lion. [Despairing already].
Tfhe rumor is that wintcr preparations
are being mado in the government oilecs.

rial to Congress that they have the popt.
ltion necessary to constitute a ,state, and
ifso we presumo they will be admitted in.
to the Union. If Congress declines to re.
ceive thema as a state, they will be content
with a territorial government. Their
state constitution, judging from the ex.
tracts in the St. Louis Republican, is a
plain, common sense document, and in
perfect harmony with the fundamental
law. It was adopted by the convention
after' a disdussion of onlyfe days, being
presented in that body on the 5th of March
and dually passed on the 10th. The etm
brvo state embraces near! the entire val.

most fruitful portions of Alta California.
We presoine that Ahnon W. Babbit, the
delegate chosen by the legisla'lire of "D!.

with his credentials and the conistititutin
in his pocket. Brigham Young, the Mor.
mon prophet and leader, has been elected I
governor of the state that will be. The
energy displayed by the Mormons in dis
patching this important piece of losiness
is worthy of all praise. They did not
bother their heads about slavery or the
Wilmot proviso, knowing that these things
could never become matters of iinediate
interost to them or their descendants. The
adoption of their simple and cxcel lent
constitution will be strongly urged ltion

"Deseret" will ere long take their seats in

not a settled inhabitant within the limits
of this Mormon territory, which is full
2500 miles from the fuderal city. It is
said in Europe that America has no spring

that our modern states have no infancy.

The whig party in N. York seems to be on its
its last legs and is still shaking from the eflacts
of their defeat of the State. Things look gloomy
indeed for them, internal jealousies and com,.
motions are at work and as an evidence look
at the terrific tnouthings of their presp, its do
scent to scurrility, and even abusing those
whom, but two years since they advocated.
Alas for Gen. Taylor and his party. A ray of
hope is now visible for the South and if there
is any faith in predictions, the Democrats
must' sweep Now York. Pennsylvanvia is
looking up, and who knows hut what one of
her sons ma~y be the next Chief Oflicer of the
Union.
THF. Oamts, or ~Tn. CiioTERA.--After
much research in Europe, an English savan
ha.- ascertained that cholera originates in the
absorbtion into the system of certain organ
isms of the fungus tribe, principally by swal
lowing them, they being found in the air of
infected districts. The New organismne are
said to he only developed ini th~e hum-in cie
tines, and their cause is the peculiar flux
which characterizes the Chiobra. A v:iriety
of proofs are addttced to substantiate these
allegations; the organisms having been seen
by alnost the whole scientific world in Inn
don andI Bristol. Already the genius of in
vention is ait work to devise schemes to de
stroy in emzbry'o these minuteo but pestilent ei.
cemies of the human race. Discovering the
cause may soon lead to the cure. We have
believed that either animialcule, or some sub
stance absorbedh in the system, wvere the ori
gin of this disease. Cannot our State 3Medi

John C. Catmuous, wvhose intention to re
tire fiom the U. S. Senate ha~s beein rumoredi,
has nearly read~y for the press a treatise on
thle elenmentary prinlciples of Gwovernmnenmt, and
thme Constitution of the U. States. H- acute
intellect, and profooud acqulairntance with the
subject of latw and Governmient, are asimnran
ces that his opinions will beo worthy th'. atten

aind Clay, would devote a portion of the time
they give to transitory politics, to essaying
up Jon topics to such as 3, Ir. Calhoun has tak
eni up, they woui render the worl a great
service, and secure to thlemselv'es a nobler

It is said a letter has been received in
Washmigto't, w'ritten by 3l r. Calhoun,. in
which lie denies that lie intends resigning his
