EMIGRATION TO OREGON.

The great tide Of emigration is at
this moment flowing westward with a
rapidity that battles all calculation
Within the last few months many thous-
ands have landed from Europe in our
Atlantic cities, and gone toward the
setting sun, to seek home for them
selves and their children, andto build
up "a new civilization, where the red
man and the beasts Of the forest have
hitherto held undivided sway. Ola
truth, "this is a great country" and it
is becoming greater every day. Bya
Western paper, we perceive that band
of fifteen hundred men, women, and
children, were a few weeks ago, on
their way from the western part Of Mis-.
souri, TO Oregon-that famous territory
of which we hear SO much and know
so little. They were to hold a meet
ing at Sapling Grove, for the purpose
Of organizing for the journey, making
laws, and selecting their officers. They
We're to have advanced on the Goth
ult., and they are now without doubt
on their perilous way. Of old It was
a common thing to see armies crossing
the mountains which divided one coun-
try from another, for the express pur-
pose of conquering their neighbors by
sword and musket. That day has
gone by. Twenty years seem to have
carried us forward as far as a century
would have advanced the nations in
former times. Instead Of armies, We
now see peaceful companies of enter
prising emigrants; instead Of conquest,
they seek wealth and civilization and
comfort; instead of laying waste the
country through which they pass, they
admire its beauty and its fertility, and
send up their prisons and their evening
hymn to the God from whom all bless
ings flow. What a noble sight for the
phiIanthropist! How cheering to his
mind the contemplation of this amazing
change! The workshops of Europe
pour forth their surplus population into
the American praueS, where the nun
ter can fill his game-bag without being
hanged as poacher-where the hun
cry need not beg for meal-where
the oppressed can rejoice Tor the first
time in the luxury of freedom-where
the young man finds the horizon Of his
hopes extending illimitably beyond its
former boundaries; and where the aged
patriarch, who in the old countries
would have breathed his last in eel
lar, or in miserable workhouse, sees
his children rising round him as lords
ofthe soil. Soon we shall hear Of cities
as if by magic on the shores of the Pa
cifc; and the arts, the habits, the Ian
guageS, and the laws, and the htera-
ture Of the old world will flourish on
the far-western borders Of the new
All yes, "this IS a great country, Mr..
Jones. "-Brotber Jonathan.

/" YOUNG HICKORY. :"

With a contemptuous sheer curing
upon his lip, the Federal Editor Of the
National Intelligencer calls JAMES K.
Polk, the Democratic candidate for
President, " YOUNG HICKORY."-
SO far as we are concerned, we have no
objection at all to this name. 1t sup
poses Mr.. Polk to be political protoge
of " Old Hickory" Very well. Eve
rybody knows that the wings hate
g Old Hickory" with perfect hatred,
for annihilating the idol Of the party,
the United States Bank. It is well
known, too, that the bosom ofthe wings
do not overflow with love toward the
Democratic party. The term, there
fore, that they apply to our worthy can
didate in spirit Of bitter hatred, we
receive as high compliment. Gen.
Jackson was most uncompromising
Democrat, and to his administration
are we indebted for the total overthrow
of Federal rule. We supported g Old
Hickory" for his stern Republican viz
tues; and what good Democrat can re-
fuse to support "Young Hickory"-
We of the "Tenth Legion" have
shown the world, that we loved and
supported the former, and that the lat
ter is every way worthy ofour conf
deLce. We will ego 1t" for You've

Murder and Suicide IN Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia Times gives an ac-
count of a horrible affair that took
place IN that city on Saturday last
A trenchman named Jules Lesuer in
mt OF jealousy, shot his wife with
pistol, and afterwards killed himself
We extract the following:-
Madame Lesuer, when discovered
by boarder in the lower part of the,
house who had been alarmed by thA
report of the pistols,was lying in a bed
welterlng IN her blood; and exclaimed

see tavern keeper hoist long pole
in front of his house, with the names
of the persons whom he prefers for
President and Vice President written
in large letters upon it. 1t looks like
he is particularly DESTROYS of accommo-

Democrat would feel sleeping beneath

we see such demonstration of zeal,
we feel like tarrying-some where else.
We have recently witnessed such dem
onstrations at public houses. Some
are too modest to raise pole; they
content themselves by putting C0ons

miles from this place, not month ago,
we missed our dinner by this means.

WORMS. woRMs!! woRMs!!!

Of all diseases to which children are exposed,
none are so fatal to them as worms Unfortunately,
children are seldom free from them, and as they
initiate the symptoms of almost every other COM
plant, they often produce alarming effects without
being suspected Worms are not only cause of
disease themselves but by their irritation aggravate
all other diseases, wandering from one part of the
body to another winding themselves into large balls
and obstructing the bowels and frequently the throat
causing commissions, and too often death. The bes
