made an offer of perpetual friendship.

"ROB NOT THE CHILDREN OF THE
pOOR~

Despite the hue and cry of locofocoism against
the Wing Legislature, the children of the poor
have not been robbed yet The taxes have not
been increased-the schools are going on, even
with more vigor and usefulness than overland as
ever, the doors stand open to welcome the poor as
it were without money and without price"
1t is not amiss TO warn the people against rob-
bling the children. When they come to the duty
of elccting superintendent of common sceools, we
exhort them to perform it wisely, Elect no incom-
petent man-for thus you will rob the children. -
Elect no man simply because he belongs to your
party--you can crow over no victory which sacrif-
ces the cause of education. In short, elect your
best man to this oiice-an let that man consider
the Office responsible and an honorable one and
enter it with firm resolve to do his best.

party capital out of the Oregon question, proves a
signal failure. The locos in Congress fighting

Holmes Of South Carolina. Do you wish to see a
man who claims all of Oregon as ours by right,

Just look at President Polk Would you do moth

short, the locooco camp is in perfect confusion on
this question: and it is good cause for dcvout
thanksgiving that it is so. When party trammels
are broken, there is better chance that this ques
ton will be decided to the acceptance of wise and
moderate men of all parties.

The new city at Andovor Bridge, of which so
much has been said, Is likely to be built up very
speedily. The Atlantic Cotton Mills Co., which
has Just been Incorporated, with capital OF So
100000, will commence Immediately the erection
of or large mills; and the Bay State Woollen
Co., with 100000, will Immediately erect two
large woolen factories. 1t was the original de-
sign of founders of these enterprises who look to
the ultimate investment of not far from $50 goo,
to commence their works in New Hampshire, Ell
ther at Manchester or at Gurvn's Fas in Concord
but the restrictions which the New Hampshire leg
slature insisted in imposing upon them, alarmed
the capitalists who 20 aid in the enterprise, so
that they declined to come in unless the works
were brought under Massachusetts jurisdiction
and on looking about for location, the projectors
fortunately found in the site at Andoyer Bridge
quite as desirable place as those which they at
first intended to occupy in New Hampshire.

The Montreal Transcript of the Gath ult thus
alludes to affairs in the United States in connec-
. ton with the appointment of the Earl of Cdthcart
as Governor of the Province:
The appointment of Earl Cathcart to the govern
men of this Province, has BEEN in all probability,
suggested by the uncertain nature OF the relations
at present existing between Great Britain and the
United States. Although we by no means appre-
bend war, we can perfectly understand that The
appointment Of man possessing the military rep
utation OF Lord Cathcart may be useful in more
why's than one. For the rest we believe that his
Lordshp will be found quite adequate to the civil
duties Of the Government lie is considered to
possess good business habits, and is not likely to
allow his baton of office to be mere playthng in
his hands.
1t is stated that thirteen thousand troops Of the
line, including two companies of sappers and min
ers, have been orderad Immediately 10 this country.
This accounts for some Of the recent movements
that have taken place in the Lower Province.

CLAY AND PoLx.-When Mr.. Clay was Secreta-
ry of State, and penncd his instructions to the Pa
mama Mission, he declared that from Cape Horn
to the fifty first degree of north latitude, in North
America, on the Pacific Ocean, without any eXcep-
ton, the whole coasts and countries belong to SOW
creign resident American powers. There is, there
fore, no chasm within the prescribed limits, in
which rev European colony could be now intro
duced without violating the territorial rights Of
some American State. An attempt to acquire
sovereign rights for any European power, must be
regarded as an inadmissible encroachment." This,
it will be seen, covers the Oregon question, well
as the ground which Mr.. Polk endeavored to take
in his message, relative TO European interference
on this continent 1t is worthy of remark that Mr..
Polk and his party were bitterly opposed to the
Panama Mission, and condemned the policy of
President Adams and his Secretary Of State, Hen
ry Clay.

to the whole crop of the Union in 1925, and equal
to the whole consumption of Great Britain in 1896
This is a striking fact, and one that should be re-
membered by the planters. This history of the
production and manufacture of cotton Is extra
ordinary, that propose to send to you some statis-
tics on the subject, furnished me by friend
hope you will not deem me over sanguine, when
tell you that il is my belief that the consumption
of cotton in this country will double in or years.
and that it will reach 400 millions of pounds in
1866 and further, that we are not only destined
TO be the greatest cotton growers, but the most eX-
tensive cotton spinners in the world. We have all
the elements among ourselves to make us The
manufacture of cotton is probably in its infancy;
but moderate portion of mankind have yet been
clothed with this healthiul and cheap article Moth
ing can stop the progress of this manufacture, but
some suicidal legislation, that will PROSTATE the
currency of the country, and deprive the people of
the means of consuming. There can be no legs-
lation that will break down the manufacture of
Cotton and Wool, excepting through the opera
tons Of the currency. We may be disturbed by
low duties the finer descriptions Of Cotton and
Woollens, printed goods and worstod fabrics,
would be seriously affected by low ad vaorem du-
ties, but the coarser fabrics, such arc generally
consumed by the great body of the people, will be
made here under any and all circumstances If
we have competition from abroad the labor must
and will come down; this has been often tested
and our experience establishes the fact.

The stings and arrows of flaming fiery Rum,
Or to take against a of liquors,
And by drinking end them? To drink, to suck
No more and by suck to say end
The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to Ills a contamination
Devuutly to be wished. To drink, to suck,
To suck peTchance, get drunk-ay, there's the rub;
For in that glorious drunk, what dreams may come,
When we have laid ourselves in the ditch In u COLL
Must give pause.
Who could bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud mans contumely
The pangs Of despised love, the laws delay,
When he might his quieus make
With IA glass of Rum? Who would water drink,
And groan and sweat under such watery life,
But that the dread of delirum temens,
Chat doubly damned agent Of SATAN
Flaming fiery Rum,) staggers the will
And make us rather drink cold water,
Than to DEVILS clue veGmin and nasty reptiles,
Crawling over biting and gnawing the livd flesh.

A FIGHTING FRESHMAN.

As the Assessors, in the discharge of their
duties, were yesterday afternoon visiting the
inhabitants OF ward one, they called at the
house ola patriotic lrlshman, who seemed
rather alarmed at their entrance, not knowing
what could be the object of their visit--bul
his anxiety was quoted, and indeed he SEEM
ed quite delighted, when told that they were
only taking the names ofpersons, with view
of raising fares!
"Taxus?" said he, "Did you say, Taxus?-
you shall have my name, any how, for Taxus
and Mexico, BOTH"
AS they were leaving the house, he follow
ed them eXclaiming,-
"And tell me now, how many men you are
going to raise for Tuxus,-and share, Pm
ready to fight against them Mexican fellows
at any time ofthe day. When shall we be
wanted?"
This mistake of the Irishman was natur-
al one-aud we much fear that he is not the
only one in this country, who will find the
words Ieras and Tares, to be SYNONYMOUS
terms. They are alike in sound and in sig
