in congress. on the subject Of public printer, makes
use--yery justly, too-of the following remarks in
relation to thu press generally "Pickens, Of South
Carolina, was violent against the corruptions Of
the press in general, as if the press was the only
rotten thing in Denmark, and as if types were the
sure channels Of roguery. Rely upon it, gentleman
disclaimers, that there are other corrupt politicians
than editors, and you but display your ingratitude
when yon abuse the rope by which you climeded
comparative eminence. Withdraw THAR names
from celebraty Of print, and wher are they! Echo

Monday last, at the Capitol. The object of the
Convention was to further three important asures,
viz ia speedy division Of the Tenitery--the adj
justnent of our boundary line with Missouri, and
resistance to the cncroachmeuts of thar Sta,c--and
the obtaining Of pre-emption law for the settlers
Oh the public lands. The entire proceedings will

AS much of them as we obtain room for will be
given in our next paper. For the present, we have
only room and leisure to state, that il continued in
session for three days, and adjourned on Wedues-
day evening. Three grand committees were ap-
pointed, to draftmemorials to Congress on the va
rious subjects before enumerated and is but sheer
justice to say, that each committee discharged its
duty in very able manner. An exami,,a ton OF
the memorials, whom they are made public, will
bear Us out in this remark.

A Juvenile temperance mlan.-A few
evenings since, while walking along Broome
street, | overheard the following converse.
ton between father and son, the latter a
boy some ten or twelva years old.
Approaching grocery, not a temper
ance grocery, but place where rum is
sold,) the father observed to his son.,
must stop here moment | believe"
Son. No, papa, let us not stop, It's so
cold. Let us get home as soon as we can.
Father. But | am thirsty, and : .ust stop
here to dridk.
Son. We shall soon get home, and tea
will be ready then.
Father. Twill be out again in a mo-
ment.
Son. No, don't papa, don't stop now.
Father. Hush your noise till come ou'
again.
The little lad here grew desperate, and
seizing hold of his fathers hand and pull
ling it, cried, "Oh! papa, don't stop here
mamma will cry again if you do" The
father, who had not yet lost all sense ol
feeling, yielded to his little sons entreaties
and they both went on homeward togeth'
er.
Does not the conduct Of this little boy
speak volumes for the cause of tempe
rance? To the youth of our own country
we must look for sober, industrious men

drunkards, who are soon to leave the stage.
And when we behold in the rising genera.
