to no measure in relation to Oregon which
would stand in the way of peaceful ant
honorable adjustment Of Ihe difference exist

There are many phrases in comm use,
which being erroneous in fact, might be "a
voIded by those who would speak correctly.
II is very common for example, 10 speak of
The dew falling. This expression is applied
lnacurately; for experiments have satisfac-
torily shown that the deposition of dew is
occasioned by the RECOMMENDATION of vapors
at the moment oftheir rising from the earth.
II is equally erroneous 10 say the fire burns,
which, in truth, means nothing, though I'M
derstood to imply that the fire consumes the
fuel, indicating thereby the separate exis-
tence of a substance termed fire. But in every
case of fire, there is an action ofone substance
upon anelher-;he combination of oxygen
with the combusiable materials of the fuel.
which teated TO certain temperature in
order 10 induce this combination; and fire is
the visible result or accompaniment of this ac
ton.

DEATH OF A Coon MAN.-It is with deep
and heartfelt regret that we announce to our
readers this week the death of the Hon.
John. w. Payne. He breathed his last on
the evening of the 9TH inst. The Corydon
Gazette of the 9Th, speaking of this melan-
choly event says:-Notwithstandng this
event has been anticipated for some time past
the announcement on Thursday evening last
that he had ceased TO breathe cast general
gloom over this community. we will not
attempt TO pronounce labored panegyric
upon the talents and virtues OF the deceased.
This were unnecessary. His memory will
long live in the affections OF his fellow-cit-
zens. In his private as well as his public
life he sustained the enviable reputation OF
an upright and honest man, and faithful SER
want. Possessed of talents OF high order,
yet his unassuming nature prevented him
from urging his own claims for political pre-
ferment; Notwithstanding, he was on more
than one occasion honored with the conf
dence of his felIow-citizens of this county,
with seat in the Legislature. But it was
in his profession that he cxcelled. From a
poor, humble printer boy, he rose by his own
efforts 10 lofty position among the members
of the bar, aud his extensive practice is suffi-
cient evidence that he was profound and
distinguished lawyer. HIS history would be
useful 20 the youth of our country inpointing
out 10 them the path TO distinction and fame.
But he is gone. His sun has sunk below the
armament, but has left radiance behind up
on which his fellow-citzens will long gaze
with admiration.

when the British Crown attempted TO faslen
