The March Of Mind.

An honest farmer of the State oi
Pennsylvania married Miss from a
fashionable boarding school, for his
second wife. He was struck dumb
with her eloquence, and gaped with
wonder at bis wife's learning:
"You may" said he, "bore hole
through the solid airth, and chuck in a
mill stone, she'l tell you clean to a
Shawn how long the stone win be go.

kimistry and cockneyology, and talks
heap about OK hides and comical
in6nities. / used to think that it was

expired; howsomedeyer she telled
me that she knowed better: she telled
me that had been sucking in two
kinds of gin, OK gin and high gin!

of Commerce.


Some days since, we copied from the
Manchester (EnglandD Times an ap-
peal 'to the Merchants ofthe Realm"
urging them 10 originate a friendly
address from their body to the Mer-
chants of the United States. Nobly
was it conceived-energetically was it
expressed,-and with full confidence
that kindred sentiment would actu.
ate kindred minds on this side of the
Atlantic.-lt concluded thus: "Banish
war from your very thoughts; let your
peaceful watchword be, on all occa-
sions,-arbitrate, arbitrate, arbitrate."

Public opinion in this country moves
slowly, butt is very aptto come right
at last. As we said before, it is every
day verging towards its right position,
and if England can have little pa
tience, we believe all willyet be we'll. /.

Our claims 10 the whole country
are preposterous. The British are
and have been for many years in ac.
tual possession of the country North
ofthe Columbia river, between As and
46; their forts, factories and trading
houses, have occupied the banks of
the Columbia and it's tributaries for a
quarter o a century, and can our gov
ernment suppose that Great Britain,
when she has nine points of the law
(the actual possession) in her favor, will
relinquish her rights 10 our bullying.
No,n no. Let our government act with
'magnanimity, and again offer her the
49th degree and the whole Of Van
Couver's Island. The people of this
country will readily ratify the propo,
siiion, and Mr.. Polk will more readily
secure his reelection to the Presiden.

the sentiments Of the people. l will
venture to say that if the question OF
Peace or War for securing Oregon to
this country, could be submitted to
them, and vote taken, 500 in 1000
would be in favor of peace.

How ENGLAND obtained Ireland.

The venerable John Quincy Ad-
ans, in his able speech in the House
Of Representatives on Monday, while
urging the validity Of our title TO Ore
gon, said:
"The Pope was in the custom OF
giving away not only all barbarous
countries, with their inhabitans, but at
times, civilized countries too. He de-
throned sovereigns, laid their king
doms under an interdict, and excom-
municated them; and all this was sub.
mitted to. And the Government of
Great Britain at this day holds Ire.
land by no other title. Three hun.
dred years before the grant TO Ferdi.
nand and Isabella. Pope Adrian gave
Ireland TO Henry II. Of England, and
holds the Island under that title now,
unless, indeed, she sets up another IT,
tie by conquest: but Ireland, If in form
conquered, has been in almost perpe-
tual rebellion ever since. England
has been obliged to re-conquer her
some half dozen times, and if she
means to do so again, she must begin
soon. The question has been raised
whether Ireland shall be independe Mt,
and if We get into war with England
1t will be pretty serious matter for
her to maintain her title"
