WORKING-MEN'S ADDRESS. |of
Wc most cheerfully give place to Mr. Norris's (JlJ
address to (he Deuiocratic Association of this cily. ,.p
It conLaijis inuny bold, and some very just suggus- lle
tions. Rut the orator might have enlarged the sco|>e
of his reflections to great advantage. He hui I thi
taught his auditors most of their privileges: lie might ' fj,|
have enforced their other duties. In this great and pr,
free country, every white man is equal. The hon- fij
or* and emoluments of office are within the reach i pr,
uf every American; and, with the exception of u [j
few nsturulized citizens, even the toad to the high- {|?,
eit station in the republic?the presidency?is open jnl
to all. ba
Our untnls also show there is no distinction clu
which is not accessible to the working-man. This |oi
u exemplified by the esses of Franklin, of Roger "'I
Sherman, and ofu multitude of others. With these to
political rights open to all, it becomes the working- for
man to make up by his own energy of character for pr<
the deficiencies which early life may have brought ha:
upon liun. Education may have withheld her rich- "p
est treasures from him; but he should, by his sub- thr
sequent exefuons, make up for wha't Fortune bad
denied him in his youth. He should educate him- nm
self, acquire new accomplishments, enlarge his coi
nhcre of action, and proht by the glorious oppor- are
tiimties of advancement which his country secures : 8ta
to him. It is thus the working-man becomes that j set
nol'lc being?the telJ'-maHt man! is
CHEROKEE AFFAIRS. tht
We have received No. 4 of the series of papers | for
bv "An Adopted Indian," which embraces a graphic |io
history of the execution of the Cherokee treaty of tor
J835?'36, so far as it has.progressed. It was in- wc
tended for publication this evening, but has been ma
unavoidably postponed until Monday, tomnke room lay
for the mass of interesting foreign news which has i lisl
pressed upon us by the urrival of the steam-ship stn
Cambria. thi
LATE FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. wJ
The Cambria has performed the extraordinary Ve
feat of crossing from Liverpool to Boston, via Halifax,
in eleven days and nine hours. She brings Enghah
papers to the 19th July. We are indebted to the pre
lioston and New York journals for very copious Jp
extracts. We have glanced over our files to the mc
lllih July; but we see very few references made to (ItAmerican
affairs. Mr. Everett is to sail on the 4th ""J
September. Mr. McLane's appointment is received
with great courtesy by the London papers, and by es|
one of them m pronounced to Lie the harbinger of Mtu
peace. _ _ in(
The allusions lo American uffairs are " few and
far between." Of Oregon and Texas, little is said.
The most remarkublc passage about Oregon winch an.
wc have met with, is in the London " Morning ?"
Chronicle" of July 14th. It is drawn forth by an
article in the last "Edinburgh Review,'' which we
have not seen. The speculations of the "Chronicle" "r
itself are [iut forth in a sufficiently bold and braggart l'11
manner. It says:
"The lost number of the 'Edinburgh Review,'after sat- ^rc

territory ol the Oregon, recumtiieudg the. abandonment ol
all theteniiory in dispute, and the acceptance by (jreat
Britain ut'thc American otter, of extending the 49th degree of I I
latitude to the court, and making it the northwest frontier pe
between the countries. When we consider the perfect accord ,
w hich ? as display ed on this subject by the w hig and tory
leaders in the House ol C ommons, and the unanimity ol ail sea
parlies thereon - lotpuled not only upon a conviction of the us
justice of England's claim, but of the expediency and adram tage

The "Chronicle" is unjust enough to confound e '
