THE TERM "WIIIG"-WHAT II
MEANS.

We are well reminded by a Southern pa
per, says ihe National Inielligencer, that be-
fore Mr.. CALHOUN allied himself with the
party now ascendant in the Government, he
seemed to be greatly charmed with the APP
propriateness of the term Whig. So strong
indeed were the impressions made upon his
mind by the abuses of power, by the then lea
ders of"the Democracy" that he even sane
toned the use of The Revolutionary name OF
Tory. An extract from his remarks on the
subject. made in the Senate in 1889, may
serve to remind some of his present follow
ers of what he then thought of them. He
then said:
81 cannot but remark that the reriUGI Of
the party names7of ttet Revolution, after they
had so Tong slumbered, is not withoat mean
iing-nol without ain Indication Of return to
those principles which lie al the foundation
Of our liberty.
'.GenIemen ought to reflect that the ex-
tensive. and sudden revival of these names
(Whig and Tory) could not be without some
adequate cause. Names are not TO be taken
or given at pleasure there must be something
to cause their application to adhere. Ifl
remember rightly, it was Augustus, in all the
plentitude Of his power, who said that he
found it impossible TO introduce a new word.
What, then, is that sornething?-What is the
meaning of Wing and Tory, and what IN the
character Of the times which has caused the"
sudden r%erivaI. as party distinctions, dtth'S
time? 1t is my opinion thatthe very essence
of Toryism-that which constitutes n Tory

OREGON.

Slavery has been abolished in Oregon. P.
Fl. Burnei, a citizen of that territory, in a
letter in the last Platte Argus says:
"The Legislature have passed an act de-
claring that slavery shall not exist in Oregon
and the owners of slaves, who bring them
here, are allowed Two yeas to take them out
of The country, and in default the slaves are
TO be free. The act prohibits free negroes
or mulattoes from settling or remaining in
this country and requires them 10 leave in
two years; and in default to be hired out 10
the lowest bidder, who will bind himselfto re-
move them from the country for the shortest
term of service, and within six months after
the expiration thereof. The object is 10
keep clear Of this most Troublesome class Of
population"
4 very considerable number Of slaves ac-
companied the last expedition TO Oregon.

THE WAY TO END A CoBRTsHIP.
ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.

There is quite a little romance connected
with a building in Genoa. Itwas formerly
erected and owned by a wealthy man, who
was in tie habit Of visiting a beautiful peas
ant girl in the Observation-Disclosures with
his attention, she cast off as ladies' are apt TO
do, the rustic lover she had before encour-
aged. But although her new admirer was
frequent and steady in habits, he never men
toned the subject ofmairimony.
Things went on in this way for three
years, till one night the gentleman was star
tied, as he was about leaving the house, by
The abrupt entrance of the two brothers of
the innamorata, demanding that be shout i'm
mediately marry their sister. They told
him that he had visited her for three years,
thus keeping away other suitors, and destroy
ing all hopes of their sisters marriage, ex-
cept with him; three years was qaite long e.
nough for him to make up his mind in, and
as he had not done it, they had concluded
to do it for him. 5
This was bringing things to a focus he had
not anticipated. For a man. of wealth and
station to marry a poor peasant gid merely
because he condescended TO be smiiten by
her beauty, was something more than a Joke;
Ct tC saw dt Il gidIlCS t1dt ttICIC WIS e
meant by these brothers' speech than met tho
EARN short, that his choice was to be a
marriage or a %sliletto through his heart. This
was reducing things to the simplest terms:
rather too simple for the wealthy admlrer.--
The trembling, weeping girl, the bold, reck-
less brothers. and The embarrassed gentlman

AT length Signor--atiempied TO COM

to talk over the subject together in the NOR

should be prohibited in the British possess

-sOur profits on the opium trade amount to

In the oficiul organ, a week since, appear

in strong terms upon the private character
and habits of the present King Of Prussia,
representing that Monarch to be grossly be-

editor of the organ piped forth the following
strain: "We hazard nothing in saying that no

EDITING A PAPER.-Hear what the
National Intelligencer, published by Messrs.
Gales & sealon, at Washington City, one Of
the most valuable and able conducted papers
in the country, says about editing a news
paper.
Many people estimate the ability ofa
paper and the industry and talents ofits edi-
tor by the quantity of editorial matte which
it contains. 1t is comparatively an easy
task for a frotby writer to pour out daily, col
umns of worda-mords, upon any and
all subjects. His IDEAS may flow, in zone
weak, washy, and everlasting flood" and his
command Of language may enable him TO
string them together like lunches of onions;
and yet bis paper may be a meagre and poor
concern. But what is the labor, the toll of
such a man, who displays his loaded matter
ever so largely, 10 that imposed on the judi
cious. we'll informed editor, who exercises
his vocation with an hourly consciousness of
his responsibilities and his duties, and de-
votes himself TO the conduct ofhis paper with
the same care and assiduity that a sensible
lawyer bestows upon a suit, or a humane
physician upon a patient. without regard to
show or display! Indeed the mere writing
part of editing a paper, is but a small portion
of the work. The care, the time employed
in selecting is far more important, and the
tact of a good editor is better shown by his
selections than any thing else; and that We
all know is halfthe battle. But as we have
said. an editor ought 10 be estimated and his
Iabors understood and appreciated, by the
general conduct Of his paper-its tone-its
uniform consistent course-its principles
lis aims-its manliness-its digniiy-its pro-
pricty. To preserve these as they should
be preserved, is enough TO occupy fully the
time and attention of any man. Ift this be
added the general supervision of the ews
paper establishment, which most editors have
to encounter, the wonder is, how they can
find time or room @to prite at ALL"
