PUBLIC OPINION.

We extract the following r, marks from the
Baltimore Sun, an ably conducted neutral pa
per- They show that public opinion is not like
y to be led astray to the true object of recent
movements, or rather want Of movement, in
Congress. II is such light as that shed by the
Sun, penetrating the chnks of the poor mans
cabin, as well as the plate-glass windows Of the
rich mans palace that will open the eyes Of the
People to the true character and designs Of their
present would-be leaders, but really mutinous
servants, in Congress. The President is mere
ly their steward and all that he can do is 10 ap-
peal 10 the common master of both Legislature
and Executive:
"Yct, here We now, within less than three
weeks Of the close of the present session and the
constitutional decease Of the existing Congress- and
no "ways and means" have yet been devised, suff-
cient give of full support to the Govern
ment to the termination Of the current year Is this
neglect honesti Is there no partisan design in this
dilatory conduct For the honor Of the country we
would fam hope not, IL We could but not only are
we forced to infer different conclusion from the de-
bate on the message and IFS accompany ing document
referred TO above but from the abundant evidence of

himself Of his wishes the subject; for prac al
adoption Of his views and suggestions, would obviate

sury for similar reasons and certainly not the So
called guard" IL Mr. Wise speaks their sentiments
as he is generally supposed to speak them. Who
then wants an extra session. None save those who
with the power In their hands to obvise the neccs-
~ for IT, refuse TO exercise that power; who would
leave the Government at The close of the present
sion without certainty OF the "ways and me MS
necessary e. maintain its faith inviosic, the credit Of
the nation sound and IFS honor intact; and who in
such case would be compelled TO bear the odum
wh oh honesty would visit upon neglect OF duty. The
single minded can spark Of patriotism in such
delinquency, but even they perceive the eye Of
political exPed'cncy peering through its oophocs
ward- the great object Of its desires notwithstanding
which, we cannot refrain from again repeating our
oft-used cxhortston TO Congress- 10 come UP patriot

FOR PRESIDENT,
THE MAILS.

Never were the mails between This and
Harrisburg in so deranged state as they
are at the present time. and have been for
a week or two past. For that time, we have
not in single instance received the Har
risburg mail on the day II was due. Oar
letters and papers from some cause or other
are three four and even FIVE days coming
from Harrisburg; and some do not come 10
hand at all. when they should no. be over
twenty four hours upon the road, and that
too, as we learn, at DanuiNc letters and
papers are regularly received. And what
is equally as vexlng, letters sent from this
place 10 Harrisburg do not arrive ,here,-il
they do, i. is after long and protracted
journey, or an escape from some secret pri-
son. How is this! Can il be possible that
the division question has any thing to do
with III We should like 10 know: Will
the Postmasters at Northumberland and
Harrisburg look to it, and not suffer the
public to be any longer imposed upon i'll

voice in his neighborhood. told him ,hs,
] had heard so;and ,ha. under these circum
stances did believe, il he would poin. out
d good man, whether friend of his own or
not, that he could get the appointment.
This i believed from the fact that the man
was unpopular. and not because had any
authority from The Canal Commissioners TO
say anything on this subject.
Mr.. LoiOry offered The following as an
amendment.
Resoiced, That a committee Of three be
appointed with power TO send for persons
and papers to investigate charges which
have been made, that members of this Leg
isla.ure have attempted TO legisate the Canal
Commissioners out Of Office from motives
other than the public welfare, or 10 ge,
themselves and friends Office, or con
tracts.
Mr.. Lo,ory said he supposed the House
would not be willing 10 grant committee Of
this character. If they wished 10 invesli-
gate tie truth Of the charge, then he hoped
they would adopt his resolution. Were
he to be granted committee, he could
show up poor human depravitd in regard
to this dark transaction from its origin TO
the momen, /. was presented here. Yes!
he would like to see The character of the
Canal Commissioners set side by side with
certain honorable members on this floor.
After some remarks from Msssrs. Bar
ren and SheroWood,
Mr.. Lowry Withdrew his amendment.
And the question being taken on the
adoption Of M~. Hsckman's resolution, il,
was greed to.
And the Speaker appointed as the com
mttee, Messrs. Hickman, Dsford and Nor

Mr. Lowry then offered his amendment

Waller were oppoin.ed the committee.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF OREGON

Much interest is every where felt at the
presen, time in regaid 10 Oregon Territory.
In extent it is larger than the Atlantic por
,ion of the old thirteen United States; in
climate, softer, in fertility, greater; ia ss!u.
brity superior, in position, ,be.ter--because,
fronting Asia and washed by tranquil sea.
In all these particulars, the western elope OF
our conliren, is far more happy than she
eastern. In its con6gura,ion j, is inexpres-
siby fine and grand-a vast obloug square,
with natural boundaries, and single gate
way into the sea. The snow capped
Rocky Mountains enclose on the east, an
iron bound coast on the west; frozen des
ert on the north, and sandy plains on the
south. All its rivers, rising on the segmen.
of vast circumference, run 10 meet each
other in the centre, and then together into
the ocean, through gap in the mountain
where the heats OF summer and the colds
Of winter are never felt, and where northern
diseases are equally unknown. This is the
| valley Of the Columbia--a county whose
every advantage off confguration-by the
union Of all its parts, the inaccessibili.y o
lis borders, and it's single introgression tc
the sea. Such country is iormed for un
ion, wealth and strength. l. can have bu'
one capital, and that viii be Thebes;bu
one commercial emporium, and that vii
be Tyne, queen OF cilies.
