on consultation with some of the gen

them in the suggestion that it might not

President to take possession of all the

Although the lecture partakes largely

It is this: that when our government

created the States of Oregon, Pacificus,

PEACE ON EARTH, TO MEN OF
GOOD WILL.
We have before us parts of a sermon
about to be published. It is from lhe
Right Reverend G. W. Doane, Bishop of
New Jersey, and has reference to the
question of peace or war between the
United States and Great Britain. The
Bishop, it will be recollected, was in
vited to preach a dedication sermon in
England
He aocopted the call, and
ably discharged the duties which it in-
eluded. The sermon seems to contain
much of his observations on that country;
and on the question of national peace, he
brings his observations to bear with good
effect.
We make a few extracts illustrative of
the author's views:
Let me say more upon this. You
all know what the questions are,
which at this lime, most interest the
governments of the two countries:
and, especially how much seems to
depend no tli3 adjustment of cnese
lious difficulty. Now, it was my
privileee in traversing England to
meet, in d i tic re n t parts of it with all
classes, and of all kindreds of people;
and to come in contact, from my of
fice and mv err.md.as few have done
before, with what, for the better un
derstanding of my meaning, may be
culled the nation;! heart. 1 s;iy up
on the most abundant evidence, that
it beats with a brother's truth and
tenderness towards America, i tay,
that the Hood of England yearns
with instinctive magnetism, to its own
current, in our veins. 1 say that
peace with amcricut i the first pray
er for temporal blessings, at every
English altar, anil by every English
hearth. I say, that the sentiment of
the Archbishop of Canterbury, at the
public meeting, at King's College,
that, "the best pledge of a perpetual
peace between the two nations, is lhe
community of faith, and constand in
to i course of the two churches," is
the most popular sentiment, at this
day, throughout England. And 1 say
what touches most the present ques
tion, and is most important to all
heails of mrti, if they would hear it,
that, close us the connection of the
blood is felt to be, the depth, intensity
and tenderness of this pervading pas

In vain may Santa Anna strive,
To lay young Texas low;
Her infant stroke he can't survive,
Bat falls beneath its blow.
This raging despot's vaunting band,
Has once before her fled;
And beg'd at her forgiving hand,
His rescue from the dead.
Ungrateful Tyrant, now to rise,
A deadly war to wage;
Well may he fall a sacrifice,
To injur'd Texas' rage.
While Texas ask's each Freeman's aid,
To fight in freedom's cause;
And worthless fees her land invade,
Regardless of her laws;
Will we, her Friends, stand idle by,
And see her banner fall ?

As to a sister's call,
And join that little valiant pow'r
Which brave's a ruthless foe;
And aid in danger's darkest hour,
To stay the tide of wo.

Messrs Editors :
The lime is approaching when it
wi I he necessary for tha Directors
of the different seho. 1 Townships
orgnrizd under the act of Februa
ry 9th 1839, to malio their repiits
to the Cleik of the County Court.
Iy reference to the Law, it will be
seen that these reports must be made
between the first day of June, and
the first day of September. Mo re
ports were made during the last year;
or ifnnde, never reached the Super
intendant of Common Schools, at Jef
ferson. In consequence of this, eve
ry township in the county failed to
receive the portion of '"Slate School
.Monies" to which it would have been
entitled, if these reports had been
made, as required by law, imd the
sum of near $19,000 revertrd to lhe
principal of the Sta'e Si-hocd Fund,
instead of being distributed among
the School Townships of tho State.

bo sufficiently alive to its own inter
ests to secure its portion for the ensu
ing year. This can only be deno by
a rigid performance of duty, on the
part of the officers of the Township.
and the County Court Cletk; and il
not done, they become liable to the
penalties of the law. Another stimu
lus to efficient organization is, the
County School Fund. This fund, fir
the current year, amounted to about
.320, and was divided among four
school townships ono receiving as
high as .$90. These two funds add
ed to the township fund, will, in many
townships of this county, and in the
State, relieve lhe pcoplo of the bur.
den of tuition, to a very great extent ;
and if the children of our county are
not educated, the fiu't will lie at our
own door. We have only to tax our
public spirit a little, and be careful in
the selection of efficient, and active
officers, and teachers, and education
will be universally diffused through
out the community.
liet mo recommend then, Messrs.
Editors, to the Directors of the differ
ent Townships, not to postpone malt
ing their repjrt, to the latest possible
period when it may be done, but to
have them prepared and in the pos
session of tho Clerk of the County
Court, by the middle of June, at
farthest. They will then have done
their duty, and the fault will bo the
Clerk's if they do not receive a por
tion of the County and State School
monies for the next year.
Fob the Radical
Liberality of sentiment, is that gener
ous disposition, which enablesa man to al
low those who diffcrfrom him in opinion
as much virtue and integrity as himself-
It is that generous expansion of mind'
which enables him to look beyond all
petty distinctions of party, and the esti
mation of men, to rise superior to nar,
row prejudices. A generous politician
will seriously and effectually investigate
both sides of the question; and never al
low himself to propagate bis sentimments
by any undue influence. He will exer
cise his liberty, in the manner, which
his judgement dictates, and not suspect
others to be void of principle, because
.... . t
j they differ from him ia opinion. He will
; be liberal as will as orthodox; because
I. j . ... " . .

to eat his flesh and wear his coat, and
live by his death; poor follow! his life is
in danger: I forgive his bellowing and
his rage. But the truth is, that in dan
ger no human efforts can render that
true, which is false. Truth is in no dan
ger; and therefore it gives its possessor
all things, except a power to injure oth
ers. In fine liberality in politics ia a
wise and innocent policy. Tho bigot
lives at home a reptile that crawls
into existence; and there in his hole
he lurks, a reptile still. A eene-
u
rous politician goes out of his own par
ty associates with others, and gains im
provement by all. It is an old proverbf
that a liberal hand is better than a strong
arm. The dignity cf a man is belter
supported by acts of liberality than by
accuracy of reasoning: but when both
go together, when a man can clearly
state, and ably defend, his principles,
and when his heart is as generous as his
principles are inflexible, he possesses
strength and beauty in an eminent de
gree. P.

of incalculable advantage. It is pio
