tion-tllal We could yet have all of Ore
gnn, BY wise and prudent measures, while
the passage of these war measures would
not only entail an enormous public debt
upon Us, The old paper system, and a per-
petual high tariff, But would inevitably
lose us Oregon-and showed the odds we
would have to contend against should
war ensue. lie said none was so unwise
as not 10 see that il we now 90 to war
with England, we will have Mexico with
her Indian allies upon US, while the Indi-
an allies Of the Hudson Bay company in
Oregon will be pushed into the conflict
against us with ali their savage fury.
Mr.. Kennedy followed on the other

The Tribune Of this city, which had quot.

rectcd his first impressions in a handsome
manner by saying,
prof ams was appointed by the special advice
of President Hitchcock, of Amherst College, whose
judgment IN such matters is enilod TO almost implicit
confidence. We regret giving currency TO any stae-
men,s calculated produce the impre, sion thai he IS
incompetent 10 perform the TASK he has nndeIiaken'
Prot. Adams's first report exhibits much
judclous and practical investigation, COM
pared with the fraction of a year which he
had for his work. So far from being "ncom-
petent,' if this gentleman is, as we suppose,
the same who, in his late excursion to jana
lea, obtained some hundreds of new species
of exuviac Of land and marine animals, TO
enrich the cabinets BOIL at h1me and abroad,
and who, by occasional essays Of rich and
discriminating character, has adorned the
journals of natural history, he must be es-
ieemed as having 30 unensiabe claims TO
distinction. We regret to perceive, by The
by, that the Legislative appropriations for the
survey are scanly. The entire Union is in
,erested in the development of the resources
of each individual State. Vermont people
are intelligent to an uncommon degree, and
apt to pursue their own nleres when the
way is clear before them. How is it in this
case ! Have they not colleges and scientific
men enough to lay open and spread the
facts There is Middebury College, almost
every member of whose faculty is extensively
known either by accredited text books or by
numerous original productions in the most
interesting branches of science. There is
Burlington University also, whose officers
enjoy in the state the public confidence, and
are not unknown TO literature and science.
Besides these the statistics show another uni
versity and several academies of high stand
ing. Now for state so well furnished, and
with so good population, to be backward in
experimenting the importance OF pressing its
geological operations with vigor or Of en-
couraging their own home talent, seems 10 vs.,
at this distance, an anomaly.
