GovERNoR BMoGs, Of Massachusetts, in some
recent remarks before the Boston Mechanics Char
liable Association, gave pertinent illustration Of
Scripture from the history Of Franklin. 1t was re-
lated of the family, he said. that Frankn's father
was in the habit OF reading TO his chdrena chap
ter in Proverbs, wherein was the following verse
"Seest thou man diligent in his business he
shali stand before kings he shall not stand before
mean men" The children heard, remembered
aud pondored upon the sacred truths of revelation
By-andby the old purtancal father was laid in the
grave, but the effect of his teaching remained.-
And during the war of the Revocation, when the
American nation sent their first Minister 70 France

who represented the Republic, and stood before

The Charleston Mercury Qocofoco) thus com
ments on the course recommended TO the Admins.
traion by the official organ. concerning Oregon:
"What Congress is TO do then, by the advice Of
the official editor is to take formal possession of
tins whole region-the inevitable consequences Of
which every body knows will be war with England .
Have we cause for such a proceeding ?-are we
ready for such an event? We are not going to
discuss whether England can whip America or
merca can whip England-leaye that to school
boys But the interruption of peace with England
and the destruction OF intercourse with all the
world, which would be the consequence, is some
thing more than question for braggarts and fools
to squirt about. We do not believe that Southern
statesmen are quite prepared to sacrifice the whole
resources OF their section such an issue; that
they are ready to mlintain at a cost of two million
| bales OF cotton per annum, that we have clear
and unquesonable title to every foot of ground in
a territory which we have consented to occupy IN
common with the other claimant for twenty years
and the ownership Of which has been in dispute
ever since the country was discovered"

The Legislature have passed an act declaring
that slavery shall not exist in Oregon, and the own
ers of slaves, who bring them here, are allowed
two years 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 to leave in two years and in default to be
hired out to the lowest bidder, who will bind him
self to remove them from the country for the short
est term Of service, and within six months after the
expiration thereof The object is to keep clear of
this most troublesome class Of population.
