articles of general and necessary use, the sup

TRIBUTE.

The Bostonians have sent large frame
school house with all the fixtures, as present
to the citizens of San Francisco. The Trans
Crypt says, such present will be as if Boston
said to her younger sister on the Pacific
''behold the secret of my own greatness and
prosperity, the public school. Take it my
sister; for is better to get wisdom than gold.
L axe it and it will be the germ of institutions
under whose protecting shade you and your
children's children shall be blessed With
out 1t, your golden treasures VIII be curse !;
but with it they can be converted into sources
of comfort and advancement to yourselves md
to mankind"
One Bostonian has sent good sized bell
tor the school house, and now if Gov. Slade
would consign one of his female delegation
as school ma'am for the aforesaid establish
ment, the thing would be complete.

NATIONAL DIVISIONS SONS OF
TEMPERANCE

This body, after session of four days, ad-
journed on Friday evening. Twenty States
and two of the British Provinces were repre-
scented. NJ. w. P. Garry presided. In the
absence Of the regular officer, Fir. Fickhardr,
of Philadelphia, II. v. Horton, of eur city,
was elected NJ. w. Scribe, pro tenn.
There have few bodies convened in our city
whose deliberations were characterized with
more general ability or intelligence as to the
object Of their organizations. Action was had
upon many matters of important bearing up
on the interests of The Order of the Sons of
Temperance, and upon the prosperity OF the
cause of Temperance generally. Among the
alterations made in the general plan of the
Order was the putting down. of she mlnimum
weekly benefits to be allowed IN case of the
sickness of member. from So TO 81; and fur
Their the granting of power to subordinate de
visions. by two-thirds vote, to abolish tbs
'sbenefit feature" entirely.
Grand Divisions were empowered to take
the general superintendent of the Cadets Of
Temperance and kindred youthful orders, re-
Ceive their reports and direct their move
ments.
The minimun of weekly dues for subor-
dinate Divisions was put down from st to SC.
Subordinate Divisions were granted the
power TO expel member for voting in any
way, directly or Indirectly, to support the
traffic in intoxicating liquors.
The name of the n. ID. was cha nged from
National Division of the u. 5. to National
Division of North America.
The next annual meeting will be held IN
Boston on the I'd Tuesday IN May, 1850.
Other matters of importance were acted
upon, but we have not space for the mentbon

COL. BENTON

Col. Benton delivered his great speech to
the people of Missouri on the 28th at JEFF
ierson City. A large portion of it, is devoted
to review and condemnation of NJ. Calhoun's
resolutions.
Col. Bentoni is explicit in regard to the slave
ry question and says sit is absurd to deny to
Congress the power to legislate as it pleases
upon the subject of slavery, in the territories
1t has ever used the power and with the sane
ton of all authorities, State and Federal from
the foundation of the Government to the pres
ent time. Congress has power to prohibit or
admit slavery and no one else. 1t is not the
territories, the creatures of Congress.
Nor can citizens of any State carry any slave
property derived from the law of that State an
inch beyond the boundary line which creates
it. Slave property for this reason cannot be
removed to California and New Mexico, nor
can any establishment of slavery be looked for
in either Territories The only effect of car
rying slaves there would be to set them free.
The people ofboth territories are unanimous
" against it. The Missouri resolutions were
copied from those of Calhoun in the Senate.
in lS47, and to know their design you must
know his. His were aimed at the Union
at the harmony and stability of the Union
and at the members from the slave-holding
States who would not follow his lead-him-
self especially.''
The speech is calculated to create profound
sensation throughout the country. 1t is fire
brand thrown among the Southern Democra-
cy. which is not to be quenched by any North
ern Nicholson letter writers, but is, perhaps
for a time, to shoulder, but nevertheless to
burn Locofocoism to the socket.
We rejoice to see Col. Benton take this
stand in defence ola principle to which WHIGs
have been ever committed, and for which they
SO strenuously battled in the last canvass
1t is certainly gratifying to see the ssgreat ex-
punger" setting himself so heartily to work,
to blot out the past actions of his party, and
in some measure, to atone for the wounds in.
fiicted upon freedom, in his own political house.

The THUNDER-CLoUD AND THE DEw-DRoP.
We tremble when the thunder-cloud bursts
IN fury above our heads; the poet seizes on
the terrors of the storm to add to the interest
of his verse. Fancy paints storm-king,
and the genius of romance clothes his demons
in lightnings, and they are heralded by thun-
ders. These wild imaginings have been the
delight of mankind-there is subject for won
der in them. But is there anything less won
derful in the well-authenticated fact. that the
dew-drop which glistens on the fiower-that
the tear which trembles on the eyelid-holds
locked, IN Its transparent cells, an amount Of
electric FIRE equal to that which is discharged
during storm from thunder-cloud Hunts
