Banks How tenaciously have they held on to the
repealing clause and individual liability whenever
church or Seminary was to be incorporated! Now,
single year absorb the entire currency of the State
who will consume its very vitaIs and leave but skeI-
eton for itself to bask n they stand back! They are
affrlghted-but strange cause-they fear that the
monster shall be injured in delivery!
These same Legislators are most unfortunate men.
Ill stared wretches! With all the honesty In the
world, they act if they had been most bly, cor
rupted. We trust they will learn wisdom and not be
caught in the like again.
OUR CLIMArE.-We are ever prone to depreciate
present blessings, and as qualification of this, moth
ing more than complaints of the insalubri-
ty of our climate. A careful recollection, however
of the nclemencies we have experienced under other
skies, will most certainly render us content with
these. True are subject to sudden and severe
changes, but then how many halcyon days do we en-
joy What mild winters, the coolest day almost al
most always tempered by bright sun; What bloom
ing sprngs-often to early for fruit blossoms which
are npped by the last frosts of envious wnter-what
fertile summers, and what mellow autums! The
storms which literally overwhelm the East, are
scarcely felt here-asi in the late snow storm which
covered the ground in the eastern part OF New York
to depth of three feet, blocking up highways &C.
while here it gave us very agreeable supplement
to winter by affordng few days of fine seighing
the snow not being over inches deep.
The Washington Daily Times holds the follow

English and American governments, by which the
Tariff is to be sacrificed to obtain the acknowledge
ment of our ''indisputed rights in Oregon.
Since this arrival the two questions of Oregon and
Tariff have become, like Texas and Oregon in the
late Presidential canvass, "twin sisters and no one
can fail to perceive that the favorable disposition
of one is made to hinge the fate of the other at least
with some distinguished men such policy is advoca-
ted and will be pressed. The true friends of Oregon
and the country should protest emphaticay against
this mixing up the honor of the Nation with the dol
lars and cents of classes-the soil and the liberty of
the citizen of the Government with the interest Of
individuals, home or foreign. They should plant
them themselvesn this great queston,n its present
interesting emergency, upon the noble patriotic prn
ciple of the country last, the country always" and
suffer intrigue or diplomacy or Legislative trickery
to mix with it any other; they should sternlY refuse
the settlement of any other issue till the Represen-
tatives of the people have observed the instructions
of their election and disposed of this question of hon.
or and dominion the limits which have been SO
emphatically and specifically prescribed by the public
will.
CO The Signal Of Liberty taxes us with injus-
tice in mputing to itself the opinions of cores
pendent. We should not have done so had we not
found reference to the article, without disapproba
ton, in its editorial columns, which supposed
was full endorsement. Had the Signal spoken OF
the amendment by which the company is liable to
action in courts of Record only it has this week
done we, should not have imputed to it the article in
question.
CoNGREss.-The Senate, at the last news from
Washington, were still engaged on the House res.
olutions giving notice to terminate the just occupa
ton as J. O. Adams calls it, the mon-occupation
of Oregon. Something will undoubtedly pass-The
House Resolutions materially modified, or substi
tutc which must be again submitted to the House
then again to the Senate sc. sc. So that unit
Congress adiours it will be hard to tell what we may
expect.
The House at the last dates, were engaged on the
bill for the improvement of certain rivers and harbors
For the Ypsanti Sentinel.
Mr.. Editor:-It is somewhat amusing even in full
view of tie disgrace and degradation under which ou
State is aboring, to witness the convusve agonies
with which portion of the authors of that degrade
tion met the issue which they have carved OUT and
which cannot now be postponed or avoided.
1t is conceded point, that decided majority
land we believe nine tenths of the party in power,
are zeaously determined, ION learning the actua
condition of the State that the most effective meas
ures shall be taken, to wipe out debt, and save
the State from an accommodating and endless burther
of taxation. And to effect this object, have resell
we'd as the first step towards its accomplishment
that the prolific source of corruption, four railroads
shall be disposed of in part payment of our public
debt.
In obedience to this demand of the public; and il
compliance with the well understood conditions OF
which they received the votes of their constituents
the members of the House of Representatives, have
with unparalleled unanimity, obeyed the public
voice, and passed bill for the sale of the Contra
road Alarmed at the prospect ofloosing this means
of supporting themselves, by sucking out the hearts
blood of the public-the pensoned avorites and hire
lings, who would sooner see the State sunk in thu
slough of reputation and irretrievable ruin, thar
loose their snug and comfortable berths are raising
the hue-and-cry of monopoly, monopoly, in hopes o
arresting and defeating the sale.
Among the foremost in this game is the Free Pres
