The following 'sI.ineso by James X. Lowell,
breathes the sentiment of every lover of Liberty
and Independence. We do not remember ever
seeing them surpassed in boldness Of expression
or purity Of thought M ah
We will speak out We will be heard,
Though all the earth's system crack
We will not bate single word,
Nor take a letter back.
We speak the truth, and what care we
For Kissing and for scorn,
. While some faint cleaning, we can see
Of Freedoms coming morn.
Let liars fear, let towards shrink,
Let traitors turn away;
Whatever we have dared to think,
That dare VIC also say!

To the friends Of Temperance and the
public generally we now make our appeal
III behalf Of this paper. The publisher
feeling it matter Of importance to the in
terest of the Temperance cause in the Dis
triot, as we'll as the general interest Of the
cause, and having been, as he conceives,
Providentially placed in situation at this
time when he can minge this ir st with
that of the business men, and I'll by rem
der double service to the community, and
still further open medium of communica-
ton by which ours principles may be ex-
tended far and wide, at cheap rate. He
has purchased printing establishment, SO
as not only to be able to put daily paper
regularly to press, but also weekly and
still further, be able to do any other print
ing the public may be pleased to have done;
and he assures them that they shall have
no cause of complaint. He has made ar
rangements by which he can devote his
time to the interest of the office and the pa
per; and, having employed Mr.. Charles w.
Fenton, who will be always on the spot, TO
conduct the printing, he has no doubt but
that general satisfaction will be given. We
shall make arrangements to have the earliest
news; also the proceedings of Congress.
We wish all who are indebted for the pa
per up to this time to pay up, as the affairs
OF the tri-weekly must be closed. They
will perceive that we are about to give
them better paper, double the number, at
the same price.
While"the s COLUMBIAN FOUNTAIN will
be devoted to the cause of Temperance, its
columns will be enriched by original articles
on subjects calculated to interest, instruct,
and benefit its readers. II is intended SO to
blend variety, amusement, and instruction,
as that the various tastes of its patrons may
be (as far as it is practicable) gratifed.
Commerce, Literature, and Science, and
every other subject of interest, not inconsis-
tent with Temperance and morality, will re-
ceiye the earnest attention of the publishers.
Nothing of sectarian, political, or personal
character will be admitted.

States.
II States produced. 34O, O43, 9O4

Hence it appears that the ten States first named
produced in that year, $50 SAT 554 bushels Of corn
or nearly three hundred millions. This quantity
was raised when there no stimulus TO large
production, springng from reasonable certainty OF
finding remuneratlng market for the large surplus
that existed over and above the means Of home
consumption. The heavy duty imposed by tho
laws of Great Britain amounted to a virtual prohi-
biuon Of exports TO that country The onerous du-
y on pork prevented to export Of that article with
any profit to the producer. Sir. Robert Pee's new
system admits pork free Of duty, with the exception
Of hams.
1.-THE United States could produce surplus Of
only fifty million bushels Of corn, and could find
a market for that surplus in England, the return
to the producers, would be immense. But they
can produce much more than that.
The question then arises, will Great Britain fur
nish market for this surplus Is not her present
movement dictated solely by the apprehension Of an
extraordinary scarcity Of food for both man and
beasti When that apprehension is removed by album
dant crops, will she not change her policy if she
does not change it, will it not be that she will
have no occasion for this surplus
We state one fact, which may not be generally
known in this country. Indian corn has never been
used article of food in Great Britain. She
has never used it for the purpose Of feeding or fat
tsning cattle. She has not used it in her dis
tilleries for the production of spirits. She annually
makes large importaons Of beans from Egypt to
feed her cattle. The same money would produce
much more value in feed for cattle expended in the
purchase of Indian BY aIepeal of the duty
Indian corn, the money that has gone heretofore
to Egypt will henceforth be sent to the United
States. When the Bnglish people have learned the
value of this article, both for mans consumption
and for feed for cattle, there will be radical change
in their views of its and importance and the re-
suit will be an entire abolition Of duty instead of
an increase Oft.

The editor of the Euangeli has found fellow
warrior against war in the person Of Senator Clay
ton, and says he is fright glad to find, from one man
at least in the United States Senate, the avowal Of
manly Christian sentiments in regard to war;" as
though sinking the patriot, and winking and dodg-
ing when the lion of England growls, were any
sign Of Christianity. He then gives an extract from
speech Of Mr.. Clayton on the Oregon question,
which corresponds exactly with his notions as to
the responsibility Of the President except that Mr.
Clayton's language is not quite personal as that
Of Mr. Cheever. 1t will be recoected that this Mr.
Clayton undertook to frighen the American people
out of their claim TO Oregon, by showing the dspar-
ity OF power between our navy and that of other
countries-Russa and England, for example. Well,
he made some mistakes in his figures as well as in
his calculations. He made great blunder in say
ing that the Russian navy consisted of one hundred
and tweny-sir vessels, carrying ten thousand three
hundred and ninety-four guns; and he made a worse
blunder in asserting that the British navy n0to num-
bcrs six hundred and seventy-one vessels The only
correct list of that establishment has been published
in the Globe, and was taken from "Murray's List -
and the United Service JournaL and it is well known
that those lists contain false statements as
many ships put down as seaworthy which are
old and rotten. They serve, however, to gull the
world and it is wonder that the great federal whie
anti-war orator did not give the one thousand on
"Steele 8 list as the correct number which list was
kept up by order of the admiralty for years to inn
press the world with an idea of the terrific "water
power" Of Great Britain. We annex a statement of
the Russian navy, for the ed6caton of all who have
read Mr. Claytons speech;

From the New York Expres,


FRoM CHNA.-We have been favored with a file
of the Hong Kong "China Mail )" from the 9Th to
the Goth November. The dates are DID, (the Cam
bria" brought to the 29th,) but we find some
matters in them that have not been made public on
this side Of the water before.
In the "Mail' of the 18th November, is what is
called "a Luminous Proclamation" issued by the
Chinese authorities, and published in the original
Chinese, and in English, under special "Govern-
ment Notification" Of "her Maesy's Plenipoten-
uary." We cannot give the original, (although, if
we could, it would be curiosity worth looking at J
but append the Luminous Proclamation" itself
The editor Of the EMAIL" regards this document
one Of the most important issued since the war,
by the Chinese authorities. 1t had been affixed to
all the walls and doorposs in the most frequented
streets of Canton; and, the "Mail' says, was ex-
torted from the Chinese by the representations of
the British government. The interest which it pos
sessed with the foreign residents appeared from the
fact that there had already been made of it no less
than three translatons; one Of which follows:
A LUMINOUS PROCLAMATION
Whereas the various nations Of the universe are
all overshadowed by the canopy of heaven, and
the earth comprises them within it's bounds; that
they be united in harmony, and that friendship be-
preserved among them, is most important. For
which reason, also, i'll treatment and insult should
not obtain.
This city Of Canton constitutes the centre of resort
to merchants of every country; and for upwards of
two hundred years their ships have arrived in per-
petual succession, natives and foreigners equally OBJ
tanning advantage and profit thereby.
We have lately had cause to be grateful to our
high emperor for having, without distinction be-
tween natives and foreigners, permitted deviations
as cxpedent, from the ancient laws and still more
set on foot arrangements.
Since all subjects Of China, then, are allowed To
trade at their pleasure with merchants from aar TO
whose coming and going no hindrance is offered
how desirable is it that all dislikes and eaousies be
laid aside, and that cordality and affection should
never fail.
1t is natural and proper that the foreign merchants
who repair to this port should at their con
roam into the adjoining localities for the purpose of
exercise and the preservation of their health You.
people and military instructed to observe deco
rum in your behavior towards them, and to be duly
mindful Of friendly relations.
Should any ignorant vagabonds boldly presume to
violate these commands, and offer insult tending TO
the creation Of disturbance, we the magistrates will
sssuredly maintain the laws, and punish them most
severely; nor shall any indulgence be extended to
them. Wherefore let there be implicit obedience,
and let no opposition be offered. A special proca-
nation. -.
