For the Venture.


Years, long and bitter years, have sped,
Since first thy hand in mine was pressed,
And still thy friendship round me shed
Gleamings of hope in beauty dress'd.
was boy when first we met;
Uhy sympathy of course was sweet;
thoughtless boy you find me yet,
find thee ala friend complete.
The only friend that e'er was mine,
Who still is constant, meier betrayed,
The only light which still would shine,
Though every meteor round me fade.
I've rov'd with thee through life's few how'rs-
Endured with thee its bitter pains
Clung to thee in the darkest hours,
And still thy image here remains
I've roamed with thee the stiIlest nights,
n.shro' forest deep, by murm'ring river.
And gaz'd with thee on those chaste lights,
Shining above us, bright forever.
Ive dreamt of gliding through those climes,
With only thee to share my Joy:
o those indeed were happy times,
When you were young, and l boy
With thee I've tasted every cup
OF sweet and bitter, pain and pleasure,
Drank the black bowl of misery up,
And felt with thee EN- that a treasure.
And can the hours together spent,
Be e'er forgot and life remain?
Can friendships silken cord be rent
And we e'er cease to feel the pain!
Can feelings true and pure as thine,
Be quenched by aught the world can do!
I'd lose the world, if it were mine,
Before I'd lose the love of you.
Owhat were life, if all alone
We're doom'd to tread the irksome road,
Unlov'd alve-unwept when gone
o misery! would drop the load.
And yet the heartless worldlings' love,
A thing of purchase, bought and sold;
One thought of thine, I'd prize above
All theirprofessions ever told.
! want friend in single truth;
A single friend and nothing more
The same in age, the same in youth,
The same when rich, the same if poor.
To thee, and thee alone cling,
mid every change, in every storm,
When desolation's raven wing
Is tapping DER my boyish form.

CONG RESS.

In the House of Representatives, Mr.. G..
]. Ingersoll obtained permission to present a
petition from the residents of Oregon, pray
ing Congress to adopt measures to secure
their application 10 the mother country.
The memorial prays Congress to establish
distinct Territorial Government, to embrace
Oregon and IFS adjacent sea coasts. That
the lands of the Willamette valley and other
necessary portions may be surveyed, and snr.
veyors and land officers appointed and oca.
ted at convenient points. That donations
of lands may be made, according to the faith
pledged by the passage of law through the
United States Senate at the I'd session ofthe
9th Congress, entitled "a bill to authorize
the adoption of measures for the occupancy
and settlement of the Territory Of Oregon,
for extending certain provisions of the laws
of the United States over the same, and for
other purposes" That navy yards and mar
inc depots may be established upon the river
Columbia and upon Pugtt's Sound, and a
naval force adequate 10 their protection be
kept permanently in the adjacent seas. That
a public mail be established, to arrive and
depart monthly, between Oregon city and
Independence, in Missouri, and also such
other local mail routes as are essential to the
convenience and commerce of the Walla-
mette country and other settlements. For
the establishment of such commercial regu-
lations as may enable them to trade in their
own Territory at least on an equality with
nonresident foreigners. For adequate means
of protection from The numerous Indian tribes
which surrounded them, for the purchase of
territories which they are willing TO self, and
for agents with authority to regulate inter-
course between whites and Indians and be-
tween Indian tribes. That all the overland
routes may be throughly surveyed, and pro-
lection be given 10 emigrants. That the star
spangled banner may be planted in and un-
fured over the Territory, and kept standing
aud floating over it in manner worthy the
dignity and power of the nation.
This memorial was ordered to lie on the
table and be printed.

the northern blasts or stream into a more
southern climate, and when the ice melted
in spring they were deposited where they
are now found. This is to US the only
means of accounting for their appearance,
as well as parallel burrows in the rocks
on the southern shores of the lakes. By
what agency this slate of affairs was
changed, whether by the upheaving of the
prairles from the action of internal fires,
or their gradual filling up by the annual
deposition of the loose delritus washed
down by the stream or deposited from the
melting ice it is useless TO speculate. But
as the whole of the alluvial lands of the
valley Of the Mississippi are of compara~
lively recent formation, it is not improba-
bic that the waters of the great lakes
washed the bases of the hills on both sides
of the Mississippi, and that the whole in
terVenlng space, now so fertile and fruitful,
was then dark rolling stream of liqniGed
mud. To US it appears that the whole
west is the richest field for the geologist
in the world, and none more so than those
portions of the country lying between the
Lakes and the Ohio. -Natchez Free Tf0-

DEFINITION OF SLAVERY.

The Nature and Character of Human
Slavery are thus lucidly set forth by DR..
Whewell in his "Elemen,s Of Morality"
Slavery is contrary to the Fundamental
Principles Of Morality. 1t neg ects the
great primary distinction of Persons and
Things; converting Person into
Thing, an object merely passive, without
any recognized attributes of Human Ma
ture. A slave is, in the eye of the State
which stamps him with that character, not
acknowledged as man. His pleasures
and pains, his wishes and desires, his
needs and springs Of action, his Thoughts
and feelings, are of no value whatever in
the eye Of the community. He is reduce"
ed to the level of the brutes. Even his
crimes, as we have said, are not acknowl-
edged as Wrongs, lest it should be sup
posed that, as he may do a Wrong, he
may suffer one. And asthere are for him
no Wrongs, because there are no rights,
so there is for him nothing morally right Z;
that is, as we have seen, nothing conform
able to the Supreme Rule of Human Ma
ture; for the Supreme Rule of his condi'
ton is the will of his master. He is thus
dives.ed of his moral nature, which is con.
trary to the great Principle we have al
ready LAID down, that all men are moral
beings Principle which, we have seen
is one of the universal Truths of Moral
ty, whether it be taken rs a principle o
Justice or of Humanity. 1t isa Principle
of Justice, depending upon the partlclpaa
lion of all in common Humanity; II Il
a Principle of Humanity as authoritative
and cogent as the fundamental Idea o
Justice.
There is one defence OF negro slavery
which represents the negro as "a being IN
terior 10 the white man in his faculties. -
He is asserted TO approach in his natur
10 the inferior animals ; and hence 1t is in
terred thai he may be possessed as

Tho Origin of the rra.ries.

In lately passing through the prairie
we were at some pains in searching
for geological facts by which to account
for The formation of these vast level plains
and their destiuton of timber. The re-
suit has satisfied US that they were once
covered with water, either as the bottoms
OF lakes, running streams, or in the same
manner as the everglades of Florida. The
upper stratum is loose sand or dark loan,
such as forms the bottom of lakes
and rivers or contiguous marshes the
next is sand, clay, and pebbles of large
size, bearing evidence of having been roll.
ed about by the action Of water, and de-
posted in their present position by the
same agency. Large numbers Of fossil
shells, of fresh water formation, are in ev-
cry direction and stratum. Besides these
large cratic blocks of granite, sometimes
MANY feet in circumference and many
tons in weight, scattered over all the prai'
res, and, on the southern shores of the
lakes, wherever the superficial sand and
gravel have been removed from the rocky
strata, straight parallel burrows appear
plough in their smooth surface, running
in general southerly, and always preserv.
ing their paraIleIism. The only rationa
mode of accounting for the appearance o
these transported fragments, as no forma
lions of a similar nature exist south of The
great lakes, appears to US to be through
the agency Of water and ice. During
the submergense Of these vast fields, wher
the lakes must have disembogued them
selves through the Gulf of Mexico, thes
huge bouIders were caught up by the ice
firmly im6edded in il, and driven off b

C. II, CLAY


Where stands he hero's deathless name,
High on the proudest arch Of fame,
In characters of living flame,
Well place thy name, immortal Clay!
And though a wild and ruthless band
May strive with infamy to brand
And drive thee from thy native land
They shall not tear that name away.
Henceforth, watchword it shall be,
Der mountain glen and rolling sea ;
Till slavery's victims all are free,
And when thy foes have spent their wratl
With burning shame they're doomed to find
That lawIess force can never bind
The mighty energies of mind
Nor tim it from its glor ious path.
AZ onward rolls the car of time;
Thy name shall sweep DER every cline,
Immortal, glorious and sublime
The battle-cry Of Liberty!
And where bold freemen strike the blow,
That lays the naughty tyrant, low,
Their souls with patriot fires shall glow
While memory recurs to thee!

New INVENTION. Church bells can
now be made of steel, as has been proved
by an ingenious American mechanic 10
Ohio, from suggestion IN an English
newspaper. A bell, weighing fifty pounds,
made of steel, will cost only about $50,
and can lie heard two miles or more. The
advantages of this invention are said to be
two iold-frs,, it is SO cheap that every
church may have bell of clear, brilliant
and musical tone. Second, it is so light,
and being stationary, that even slight
belfry will sustain it. This newly invent
ed bell is rung by crank, and any boy
can do it as well as regular parish bell
ringer. For about 5000, chime of seven
bells can now be had.

A MILLERITE IN LIMBO Elihu Ellis
OF this town, was committed to Jail on the
evening of the Goth ult., charged with
stealing the horse and wagon Of Joseph
Converse in August last. Some peculiar
circumstances served to fix suspicion upon
Ellis at the time, and recently, the horse
and wagon have been found in Canada,
where they were sold by him.
Four years ago, Ellis was man OF
good estate, in thriving business, and
owned one Of the best farms in this town,
on which were excellent new buildings
built by himself. He was an active mem
Der of one of our churches, in good stand
ing. AT the commencement OF the Miller
delusion, he was one of the first in the
place 10 become infected with il. He soon
began to neglect his business, and finally,
as the time for the anticipated conflagra-
ton drew near, he sold his farm and other
property, at considerable sacrifice in lis
value, and squandered the proceeds for
the promotion of the cause 10 which he
had become welded When the time
came and passed, within which, he and
his associates undoubtingly believed, and
had declared, if there was any truth in
revelation, that this great event should oc'
cur. and it did not take place, it seemed 10
shake his faith, not in Milerism alone,
but in revelation itself. This was a nat
uraI result of such deIusion, and one
which it was often predicted would follow.
He then became unsettled in his habits
and pursuits, and the fact we have chroni>
ced above, shows the change which had
been wrought in the character of one who
formerly stood so fair, through the perni~
cious influences of thus strange delusion.
For our own part, we feel more chart
table in our opinion of Ellis than many do.
1t is our opinion tina! the flnatical zeal OF
the delusion itself had disturbed the bal
ance of his mind, and that when the con-
viction Of its faIsity was forced upon him,
it was more than he could bear, and that
partial insanity was the result. Under
the influence of that insanity, we believe
he did the deed for which he is now held
10 answer to the laws. Whether this be.
lief is we'll or i'll founded, the case affords
solemn warning, which, if rightly mp
preciated, may not be lost, in its influence
upon others.-Mass. Spy.

THE "ARmY OF OBSERVATION" D.

HE "ARMY OF OBsERvATIoN.''--
The following paragraph from The New
York Express of Tuesday morning gives
us the first intimation that the military
forces OF the United States at Corpus
Christi have been ordered to move west
ward of that position movement so
little required under present crcumstan>
ces that, we should think, as it must have
been directed before the recent pacific adj
vices from Mexico, it will of course have
been countcrmanded in time to prevent its
being carried into executions - Nat Intel.
" We understand that the troops now
stationed at Corpus Christi, under the
command of General Taylor, have been
ordered TO march over the prairie country
towards the Rio Grande, for Brassos, ST.
Jago, and other places. While at Corpus
Christi they have been obliged to hire
three schooners as s!ore~ships for their
provisions, and have actually carried old
houses from Live Oak Point, a distance
OF ninety miles, to be used as a covering
for their stores and amuniuon. What
they will have to cover and protect these
things with when they leave the coast,
without the schooners, probably Mr.. Mar
cy can tell. Their course is through
prairie country, where there is no timber
to make planks, and no saw>mills if there
were any timber. They will have streams
to pass for which they have no means
provided. Their provisions, as in the
Florida war, will be destroyed by the
climate and the rains. Their firearms
will be entirely ruined BY the exposure to
the saline atmosphere for want of covers.
Ia short, another system of proAigate ex-
penditure, similar to that OF Florida, may
be expected, A thousand dollars day
has already been paid for the use of
steamboat, and we no doubt shall soon
hear, by The vouchers on file, of huns
dred dollars a cord being paid for wood,
and other things in proportion, as in the
case alluded to-"

A gentleman from New Bedford as
sures the editor of the Boston journal
that one ship belonging to that place had
made four successive and successful cruises
after whales within eigh! years, and had
brought home upwards of thirteen thou
sand barrels of oil.
The crew consisted of thirty men, and
during that period no spirits of any kind
had been allowed on board as a beverage
on any occasion, nor had any man died
of disease or been seriously sick, or met
with any accident.
