would say, what all knew, that this is a subject for nego
tiation, for discussion, fur amicable settlement it always
has been so. In this epirit, the government of this country
has several times, in 1818, 1S21, and I82G, proposed &
line of division fur a compromise, for discussion, &c.
Mr. Webster alluded to the discussion which took place
in the British Parliament, on the reception of President
Polka meM.ige on this subject, the reports of which ho
had read wi h intense interest; and he mnst say that the '
remarks of the British minister on that occaüon were
uch us were proper, and made in a temper becoming a
large-minded, liberal statesman, lie was disposed to
adopt the words of the English minister on that occasion,
who sriJ that England had rights that ought to be and
must b re-pected. He (Mr. Webster) would say that
this country had lights which oujht tobe, which should
be, and which must be respected. He would not express
an opinion as to the manner in w hich this could be settled,
but he had no doubt it could be settled honorably and se
curely to the rights of all parties."
The speech of the Britih Minister, uhicli Mr.
"Webster thinks so deserving of approbation, is that
in which we were threatened with the whole power of ;
Britain, in consequence of President Polk having
said, in his inaugural address, that our title to Ore
gon was clear and unquestionable. 'Pin- Presidtn!
trill adhere to that declaration a statement which we
make advisedly. The Democratic party will support
the President in carrvin: out the measures neces.-arv
to support our title vigorous war measures; if they
shall, unhappily, become indispensable in upholding
our rigiits. Tue people will back up the Democracy,
and if the wiiigs choose to carry out their imitation
of the old federalists, and side with the enemv, they
will be as effectually ued up as tiie federalists were.
Federal acts will bring with them federal fate. That
they will thus act, we d ubt not. As little doubt
have we of their being ground to an impalpable pow
der, for their want of patriotism and their transcen
dent folly.
We quote further from the report of Mr. Webster's
remarks, as they are given in the lloston Courier :
" Mr. Webster alluded to the situation of the country
of Oregon, which was three thoHsaml miies fron the Uni
ted S ah 3, an J twice a many from Eng;and; that in the
course of few yers, probably within the knowledge vf
many now present, it wuuM be settled by fif;y to a hun
dred thoudind people, mostly fro in this country, and a
great many from Great Dritain all, at any rate, Anglo
Saxons. The period, then, is not f.tr diiUnt when, from
the shores of Western America, we hou!d see fpriugmg;
up a great Pacific republican nation, which leould not coil
tent to acknowledge allegiance cither tn this country or
to England; that this great republic would prubabiy adopt
all the great principles which we have iuhcri cd from our
fathers. He would not undertake to s ty where it would j
be located, whether on the Uolunibu
rivpr or lnrthrr
oulh : but that a cre.it ar,d independent nation would
1 "" !,,
arise on the shares of the Pacific, and at a tu riad n.t so
remote a many persora might .suppose, he was confident.
He deireca'ed. then, all slaiuiy deli-inco on ur i.!e, as
well a all reference on the i.lber U the great maritime '
rower of England, both of which prontiscd only all the j
horrors of war, against which the spirit of the age vraa al
together opposed."
It will be seen, from the above, that Mr. Webster
contemplates the existence of a great western republic
on the shores of the Pacific. His remark puts us in
mind of a paragraph which we saw in a .New York
paper a few days since. It appears that Mr. Whitney,
whose magnificent project for a Railroad to the Pacifij
is now before the country, asked Mr. Webster if he
was favorable to the sehen: e. 31 r. Webster answered
with what Napoleon would have calhd a superb
4 No!" and when aked his reasons f;r his opposi
tion, replied: 44 Recause I will not support any iu.ans
of improving the intercourse with the country west
of the Rocky Mountains. All that country must
become a separate and distinct wit ion ; and for that
object, I will opp)sj this railroad with all my inihi
ence." Fortunately, Mr. Webster's iiMluence is not
potential, though great, and the project, or something
involving the same results will undoubtedly succeed.
If there is one reason more than another, why we
should extend our laws over Oregon immediately, it
is to prevent the realization t f the hopes of .Mr.
Webster and his friends, namely, that an independent
nation, the future rival of the United States, may be
established west of the Rocky .Mountains. No such
nation must be allowed to grow up there. All the
country is more or less interested in preventing it
from corning into existence. In an especial dgnc is
the West thus interested. It is life and death matter
With us, and we must look to it, that the wealthy
Yankees do not trick us out of our rights. JmUmsy
of the West is at the bitorn of the whole matter ;
and Mr. Webster is but the mouth-piece of that party
in the East which has ever viewed the extension ot
our dominion with an absolute abhorrence, and essayed
to prevent it by deeds so closely resembling acts tf
treason, that it is hard to see the Klints of difiercnce.
The leading New England Whigs know that it is
rather money than territory which governs, within
certain limits ; and that, the less extended our country
the greater will be their sway, as they are the moneyed
men of the nation. In this is to be seen the cause of
all their opposition to the various steps by which we
have gradually reached our present extent ; and from
the same feeling will come all future opposition to
the 4 extension of the area of freedom.' They will
battle against our claim to Oregon, because its- main
tenance will tend to weaken their jKjwer, and place
the control of the national Government forev er beyond
their reach. To maintain their supremacy, they are
readv to waive every thing, to abandon an immense
territory, and to give up to another nation the future
immense commerce of the Pacific and the orient.
They are shrewd men, too, and see in the acq, lisition
of Oregon, the transference of commercial supremacy
to the Vest, so that to our territorial power, w ill be
A.o. nnr.lliPr frrp.lt rlement of strength. The vast
change which must eventually happen in commerce,
fromthe control of the Pacific by this country, one
of the positive results of the maintenance of our
right to the whole of Oregon, and the acquisition of
California, is not unknown to them ; and they have
no desire to see the commercial sceptre firmly grasped
by western hands. The Ea?t mut then be second to
the West, in aU respects. Hen -e the bitterness of
their opposition to a measure so sure of resulting in
immense benefit to us. Were they to look a little
deeper into the matter, perhaps they might see in the
growth of our commerce, the surest guarantee cf the
increase of their own ; and while compe lled, by causes
beyond human control, to recede from the first position,
to that we may occupy it, materially increase their
own business, at the same time advancing the glory
of our common country. Cut soctionali-mi never
reasons; and for an old dynasty to make way fr n
new one, however imperative the change, is a matter
which never will be gracefully performed. Rut the
change -has already commenced, and New England
will find it as vain, before the lipe of thirty years,
to contend against its consummation, as did Venice to

mouth, if we cannot dj it by milder means. But
milder means are in our power. We can purchase
California of Mexico, or what is much better, can ad
mit Mexico to our confederacy. But perhaps the pur
chase of California would be the best step at present,
till Mexico can be better prepared for annexation.
The purchajc ntuld put something into its empty
treasury, remove all existing dithculties between the
two nations, lead tc that mutual pood-will which
would speedily prepare .Mexico lor annexation, and
defend it in the mean time, as our. ally, against Bri
tish intrigue and French ngr?3t;on,. .Mexico has no
community of interest with cither cf thee European
powers, for neither will seek even commerce with it,
excepting with the prospect of plunder; and it. has
already ku tiered enough from their aggressive and ar
rogant spirit, to entertain any doubts about the dan
gers of their contiguity. Possessing California, the
British would-treat ..the Mexicans as they have the
Hindoos, exciting quarrels among them, to obtain
pretexts for interference, conquest and annexation.
For ncijhbors the Mexicans would prefer us to the
Uritish; i"r they would feel secure with ns under
treaties, but must know that treaties would not bind
the llritisli. They have never regarded treaties, when
pounds sterling wmiM l!ov from their violation. And
as alliey, the .Mexicans would find u? interested in
their prosperity, and the Uritish interest d enly in
their dependence on Dritish work!K.-s. Iherefore if
the road to unirn betwrcn the 1'nitcd States and Mex
ico be opened, the Mexicans would soon forget their
anirnos.ties against ns, and perceive that we were
their safest and strongest friends. And if Mexico
depends on European alliances fbr pictcctien against
us it stands upon a J-andy foundation. These very
alliances would erpetuate animosities between the
United States and Mexico, which would eventually
lead to the conquest of the latter by the former, a con-
juet which all Europe could not prevent. l)tit if
Mexico depends lor support on our confederacy, it is
invulnerable agiinst all Europe. Thercf're let us
purchase California, as a preparatory step to union
with -Mexico. lhi!ad lihia Isditr.

A TKACT1CAL STORY PLEASANTLY TOLD.
Fleasant day this, neighbor Gaskill," said one
farmer to another, coming into the barn of the latter,
who was engaged in separating the chaff from the
wheat crop by the means of a fan.
44 Very fine day, friend Alton any news!" re
turned the individual addressed.
44 Nothing of importance ; I have called over to see
if you wouldn't join Carpenter and inyelf in taking
the paper this year. The price is only two dollars."
iotlur.g cheap that vou don t want, returned
Gaskill, in a positive tone": 44 1 don't believe in news-
pipers; I never lieard of one doing any (rood. It an
0l,j r.tray tnc happens to get into our house, my
; galls are crazy after it, and nothing can be got out
;0f jjK.m until "it's. read t!iruli"Il. They would not he
,r0;)( lor n tent it. a paper camp every week. And,
besides, dollars ain't picked up in every corn hill.'
" Pet think, neighbor Gaskill, how much informa
tion your gals would get if they had a fresh newspa
per every week, filled with all the latest intelligence.
'I he time they would spend in reading would be no
thing to what they would gain."
' And what would they gain, I wonder I Get their
heads filled with nonsensical stories. Iok at Sally
Black ; isn't she a fine specimen of one of your news
paper reading gals? Not worth to her father three
pumpkin seed. I remember well enough when she
was one of the most promising bodies about her. Hut
her father was fool enough to take a newspaper. Any
one could see a change in Sally! She be-ati to spruce
up and to look smart. First came a bow on her Sun
day bonnet, and then gloves to go to meeting. After
that, she must be sent to school again, and that at
the very time when she began to be worth something
about home. And now she has ot a f rtv piano.
and a fellow comes every week to teach her music."
"Then you won't join us, neighbor," Mr. Alton
said, avoiding a useless reply to Gaskill.
0 no! that I will not. Money thrown away on
newspnpers is worse than wasted. I never heard of
their doiiig any gond. The time spent in reading
newspaper every week would be enough to raise a
hundred bushels . of potatoes. Your newspaper, in
my opinion, is a dcar.bargain at any price."
Mr. Alton changed the subject, and soon left
neighbor Gaskill to his fancies. .
About throe months p.fterwards, however, they
aain met, as they had frequently done during the
intermediate time.
'Have you sold your wheat yet!" asked Mr.
Alton.
' Yes, I sold it day bef re ye-iterd iv."
" How much did vou get fr it 1 " "
" Eighty-five."
No more! Why, I thought every one knew that
the price had advanced to ninety-live cents. To
whom did you sell ? "
' To Wakeful, the storekeeper in R . lie met
me day before yesterday, and asked me if I had sold
my crop yet. I said I had not. lie then oflered to
take it at eighty-five cents, the market price $ and I
said he might as well have it, as there was .doubtless
little chance of its risunj. Yesterday he cent over
his wagon and took it away."
44 Tiiis was hardly fair in Wakeful. He came to
me also, and offered to buy my crop at eighty-five.
)ui I had just received my newspaper, in which I
saw tl.at in consequence of accounts from Europe,
cf a short crop, grain hid gone up. I asked him
ninety-five, which, after some haggling, he consented
to give."
44 Did he pay you ninety-five cents?" exclaimed
(Gaskill, m surprise and chagrin.
44 He certainly did."
Too b.id! to j bad! No better than downright
cheating, to take such shameful advantage of a man's
ignorance.

TIte Uliscr's Death.
r 0. W. CUTTER.
An old man sat by a fireless hearth,
Tho' the niht wai dailc and chill,
And .fnjuinfully ever the frozen earih,
Tbe wind sobbed lone and hrill.
Iii 1 jcks were giey, ant his eyes weie giey
And dim, hilt not with tears,
And hi skeleton form was waotcil away
With.pcnujyr moie than yeais.
A ru.h liht vras castiri its fitful glares,
O'er the damp and dingy walls,
Where the lizaid hal made hh slimy lair,
And the venomous spiJcr' ci awls.
But the meanest thing in this loathsome loom
vVai that miser, all toi and ba-io j
Wheie he sal like a ghest in an empty tomb,
On his broken and only chakr. r
He had bolted the windw and Lar'd the door, .
And every nook he had scan'd,
And felt their fastening o'er and o'er,
With hi cold and skit-ny hand ;
And jret he sat j 2iri intently around,
And t cmbled with silent frar,
And started and fhuddeied at every sound,
That fell ou his co.vatd ear.
lia .' ha ! Gujlied the miser I'm safe at last.
From this niht so cold and duat ; .
Fiom the dienchin rain and the driving blast,
With my g-ild and my tieasuie beie.
I am cold and wet with the icy tain,
And my heal h is bad, 'lis ttue,
Yet if I sh .1 1 light that fue ain,
It would cost me a cent or two.
Bui I'll lake a sip of this piecious wine,
It will banish my cold and fears;
It was given long since by a friend of mine,
' I hate kept it for many yeats.
So he diew a l!ask from a mculdy nook,
And think of in iuby lide,
And his eye grew blight with each draught he took,
And hii bowm swell'd with piide.
" Let me ee let rre ;ee," said the miser then,
Ti .some sixty years or rrote, .
Since the happy hour when I bctn
To heap up my glitteiin stoie ;
And well have I sped la ray anxious toil,
As my ciowded chests will sh w.
Ihavemre tliui would ianon a KinJom'j spoil,
Or an Kin, eior coul l betow."
Fion the oiienl lebns I have rubies bright,
And ld from tlie fam'd IVru ; i
I've diamonds w uj li ime the tars of niht,
And pcail like tue m unin dew,
And tnoie I'll hive, tie the moir w's sun,

: And cautiously ni-cd the lid.
And then it li-me like the clcuds of the west,
With the sun in their splcnd r hid;
And gem cfter gem of its piecious store,
lie i;iisd with exulting smile.
And counted, recounted them o'er and o'er,
In many a ghtteiiog pile.
Why comet that flosh to hi pallid brow,
, While his eyes like his diamonds shine
Why vviithes he thus in such tJituie now ?
.What was there tu the wine ?.
Iii lonely cat h? strove to it?.:n
To cnwl 10 his nrt he t ied ;
But finding th se c-tF-it were all in vain,

Talc, lineiini: flivver of the d.ving year,
Why, drocpini s:id, o'er au'umn's yellow bier,
Io you piolong j'our stay,
When the r'ch glry o'er the mcadiws cat,
And voices sweet of summer b:ids, have past
Sadly away ?
At eve, the pei fumed ZephjT softly ur
Iiis low, depaitiu amhem whete ye hung,
Sweet tuk'-ns i-f tlie spiin !
Mid wreaths of dew, like ihoe a fry weaves
Upon tt.e cli:i pet! and the leaves
Blight chiitei icjj.
K morning's hour, all cuitained o'er wit!, green,
Ye dimly lay the whispciing leaves between,
Like flight eye robed in sleep ;
And as ye opcted to the summer air,
There faintly lose a sound of gladiiess theie,
Holy and deep.
But now the autumn wind sighs o'er your hea Is,
And the c ld m mn, fiom n btti heaven shedi
Her silver dew-Jrop thoie ;
And motirLifully, like music o'er the sea,
Vtur lat and dyin fragtance comes tj me
Through the chill air.
D.itkly ye fade from pleasant streams and woods !
Atwund your wonted haunt, in coldness, broods
The spii it of dt cay :
On the waste places of this clouded earth
We're left to moum your loveliness and mirth
(alheied away.
Ve are the types of all that mm deems blight ;
Like you, his carlhb rn pleastuts bloom iu light ;
Like you, they quickly fly ;
And leve the bieakicg heart to cling aain,
With a fond yearning, pas-ionate as vain,
To things that die.
Mi:.. Fnv. The author of Ten and Ink Sketches
thin writes of tho benevolent ?Jrs. Fry:
Her name is a famil.ar one, in every circle of hu
manity. ihe has- I'li-r pased her jirand climacteric
but years sit lightly on l.cr culm, pleasant I'okin
face. As her bonnet is removed, we can .see her fea
tures without any obstruction. jeneath. the cloe,
plain (Jnaker ftp is seen through the fine material,
l:er gray hair, which is simply parted in front, Over
her smooth, intelligent forehead. Iler ev es ar: dark
gray, and pec.il
arlv
:wect and mild in their expres-
sion. 1 bcre is a quiet benevolence aiuut tbe m.mtb,
and old as she is, he might almost be called pretty.
Her dress is scnqiulou-.lv plain and neat. A laven
der colored gown, a prvirl white shawl, and a simple
mulin or net kerchief, being all that is visible. It
is .Mrs. Fry, the celebrated feiinle visitor ot prisons
and lunatic asylums., .
i-iuict at.d ceobtrir.'ivc a she appears, a grcit por
tion of her life has been Kpent in going about doing
go d. Where bold men have hesitated to lilt uptbeir
voices, there have her mild, persuasive tones been
heard. It mut have been a strange and striking
sight to have wit nosed a recent scene in Ninvgate.
The King cf Prussia, being on a visit to England,
went to see the great metropolitan prison, and there
met Mrs. Fry, who was engaged in imparting in
struction to the iVnialc prisoners. At. her invitation,
th" Monarch and his attendants knelt down in that
assembly of felons, whil-t Mrs. Fry offered up an ex
temporaneous prayer. It must have been a strange
s:ht, ahke tor the Sovereign and the criminals, to
witness each other bowing before the Maker of them
both, in so gloomy a sanctuary.
There is a beautiful anecdote, connected with Mrs.
rn. .
Frv, which I am tempted to relate here. It is the!
habit of that bolv, when sbe visits u lunatic asylum,
to sit dawn quietly ami caJmly amongst the po r peo
ple, however turbulent or noisy th -y may be, nnl
commence, in her low, musical voice, reading me
Ihhle. Her tonej generally coon attract attenli on,
and order is gradually produced. On one of these
occasions a young man was observed to listen very
attentively -and though ordinarily one of the mot
violent of the patients he became subdued even to
tears. When Mrs. F?y ceased read.ng, this poor
maniac e.vcliimed to her, "Hush! the angels haw
hnt you th'ir voices." Perhaps a more beautiful or
more truly poetic compliment has never been paid to
philanthropy.
Deserviyj of Commendation. A writer in the
Cincinniti Atlas is very warm in his praise of Mr.
John A. Ceilier, of S:cubenvtlle, Ohio, a pascrgcr
on b'lafd the camboat Madison, at the time of her
recent collision on the Mirsiseippi with the Plymouth.
The Maths on was weakly manned, and all hands were
required for her management at the critical .moment,
Air. Collier was the only male passenger on board of
her. I reserving ureat presence ol mind, he nf.lhc d
to the yawl of the Ph mouth, iu the m'uKt of the
darkness, unaided by a single human being, and com
menced the noble work of rescuing his fellow crea
tures from a watery grave. The river was covered
with the floating "forms of all s?xe and ages, and
two yawl loads, amounting to twenty or thirty per
sons, were picked up and restated to life by his man-
ly and courageous exertions.
. Reward for Olive L'kancues. The Boston Tran
script savM. it novelty in the way of agricultural
exhibitions of . .late is the presentation of children fur
premiums. At a recent agricultural fair at Hurlington,
Vt., Mr. L. Chase presented for premium three pretty
female children, two tnü a half years old, born at a
birth. The committee or household manufactures
awarded him $14 which was voluntarily contributed
by the old bachelors present, who sfaid they considered
him a legitimate object of charity.

Saved fkom the (jai.lows nv .Marriage. A novel
occurrence happened last week in Boston, in capital
trial in the Supremo Court. James Powers was' tried
for a crime ptinisdiably with death, w lien, to the sur
prise of all. tho prosecution was withdrawn, the girl
(Hannah WYKIi) whom he had injured having become
his wifo that niorninp, and thus hy law was incapibic
of testifying against him. Ir. Janies Powers Ls now
a p:vy bridegr)in ai Lire eiijyinjj his hpneynioon,
instead of being a 'Ticrer in tho dock on his trial,
with ths prospect of a hempen halter. Singular as
this occurrence mav seem, there is no doubt, says the
Post, of the hom.y and virtue of the girj, and of the
truth of her chirge egainst the prisoner, who had
moreover confessed his guilt.
Ik'-urn Alive. A few diva ago, ns Mr, Craig
Vanmeter. of Pittsrove township, Salem countv, N.
J., was iu the art of dweu'Jing ari old well, the well
caved in both be'nv anf' above, and buried him at the
depth of about thirty feet, 'ihe well was pome sixty
feet deep, and at the time of the accident Mr. V. was
suspended in the bucket abo4.it midway. The wall ca
ved in about seven o'clock in the morning, when the.
alarm was given, nnd the neighbors began a search
for what they deemed hislead body. At live o'clock
in the afternoon, they found him alive, and but very
little injured, the atones Imving formed nn arch over
his head. His escape under the circumstances was
truly wonderful.
