Silas Wright on Terus.-ft has been
urged by the Wings that Silas Wright is
strongly opposed TO the annexation OF
Texas to the Union. II will be seen by
the following how far they are correct in
this statement
81 do believe that in national points OF
view,the annexation of Texas would be
important to the Union. that our southern
border would be improved and strengthened
and secured. Ii is question which pub
lie opinion should pass upon, and their
servants should obey that opinion and will.
Candor requires tha, should 90 slep
further. From the observation have
made-and have endeavored to make il
calmly, and without prejudice or bias-I
believe there is growing inclination
among the people of this country to ex-
tend our border in that direction. sand l
have now little doubt that is we live in
that quiet and prosperity which We hope
for, but few years will pass over until
we shall see the Union indisputabiy and I
believe peaceably and honofably, embra-
cling both Oregon and Texas. As TO the
Oregon territory, have no more doubt of
our right 10 il, Than have ,ha, New York
is part Of the Union, / have therefore
seted, uniformly acted, as your represen.
tallye. in favor Of putting an end to the
common occupancy between us and Eng.
land, and extending at once our power and
jurisdiction over that country"

another head we read such editorial paragraphs
as the following:
"A sale OF Real Estate took place to-day, al the
Merchants Exchange By Franklin which re-

property was 100 lots al Williamsburg, known
as the Dunham property, and the terms cash.

TEMPERANCE IN MASSACHUSETTS.
A Temperance Society has been formed of the
members ofthe Legislature of which the Governor,
Mr Briggs. elected President On taking the
chair he delivered neat and sensible speech. of
which the following is an extract
MIR Briggs here spoke Of the practice ofmen in our
community placing the Intoxicating cup before indi-
viduas, who they knew ifthey purtook of the same
would return TO their homes and abuse their fanies
Many ofthese were in The hukt Of daily utterinu
the simple prayer, 'Lead not inta temptation, -
and yet they placed that before their brother which
would destroy his character and debase his nature
The Speaker here dwelt upon the power Of example,
Almost every moderated the influence which
he is capable OF eSering; ard thus had the excu
ses oil many good men when asked 10 sign the pledges
they were temperance men in practice and vet
they considered their example as of no consequence
But the force OF example was beyond all calculation;
there was greater mistake than that of supposing
but little influence was exerted by uu individual An
example, like the candle, sent forth its rays To the
most obscure parts; they could not be hidden. The
same example which carried forth good Influenza
might send abroad bad influence; the breeze which
bore to distance the fragrance Of the rose likewise
conveyed the blast OF the miasma. How important
then that our example be for good The man who
signs the pledge gives notice to all about him. thai
hrs influence is FOR Temperance. How noble to see
nan come forward TO the work and say, 'Ir Sny ex-
ample is good for any thing. I'll give it DO YOU -
