If thing be worth doing at all it Is worth
doing well. So Mr.. Price, Of Hamilton coun.
ty, Ohio, seems to think, and we admire his
consistency. 1t is really pleasant to meet with
man who has the courage to follow an idea
whithersoever il may lead him. Such a man is
indeed rarity, though the number of men who
would gladly be thought to belong to this class
is by no means small. Mr.. Price Is the only
man In the Union who could with propriety run
as the Independent candidate for the Presidency.
But we mistake. He does not belong to the
Union. Well, at any rate, he can run as the
candidate for the Presidency Of his own "smal
Independent nation" and we hope he will
His chance of success is no chance at all 1t is
certainty.
CURIoBs HALLucINATIoS An individual by
the name of Price, OF Storrs township, Hamil-
ton Co., Ohio, must be laboring under strange
mental delusion. The Cincinnati, and Dayton
Railroad Company having run their road
through his lands, he has filed a bill of excep-
uons in Lonmercisl court OF Ca $50 aatf,
the ground that his possessions are "smau an
nation" in Ohio, he having in con-

Great Brttain's Professions I'm Mosquito
Stated by HerseIf.

We gave, few days since, says the New
York Ersning Post, a rapid sketch Of the title
Of Great Britain to interfere in the affairs Of
Mosquito, as we understood it. Our conclusion
was, that no territorial preteusions were ever
set up by civilized nation more preposterous
or indefensible. The very absurdity of them
has led many to doubt whether England has not
some better ground to rest her claim upon, and
has awakened a curiosity to know how she ar
CUES her own case. Fortunately we are able to
crafty that curiosity.
In May, lS4s, Senator Dix had occasion to
refer to the subject in discussing bill, then be-
fore Congress, authorizing the Presto eRt to take
temporary possession Of Yucatan. After re-
viewing the action Of the British government, Of
which he did not hesitate to say, "that so broad
a farce had never been enacted with so much
gravity by respectable State" he proceeded to
give the following as the groundwork Of their
claim, substan TALLY in their own language:

Cromwell, in 1856, the Mosquito King, with

slavery as IL Appear 60 Osher,.

On Junel lS4S, q committee Of C. Congressional
Ministers In Massachusetts, was appointed to
prepare report on the subject of slavery.
This report makes a pamphlet of ninety.two
pages. Different parts of the subject ars as
signed to different members of the committee.
The report was adopted with only one hand
being raised In the negative. 1t is the united
testimony Of the Congregational Ministers
against the system Of slavery. We make the
following quotation to show the spirit of the
report:

Deseret-Ths View Mormon State In the Salt
Lake valley.

For months past the public mind has been
deeply interested in California and New Mexi-
90. The press North and South, East and West
has teemed with speculstions in regard 10 these
two future States. The Constitutions which
they will form, the time when they will proba-
bly, apply for admission into the Union, the in
fuence which, II admitted, they will have upon
the Union.-thesa and many -sL-. --sjSsss
connected Herewith have been the themes OF
universal and thorough discussion.
Bot while the minds Of men have been so
deeply interested in California and New Mexico
and have looked forward with such mingled
emotions TO the time when these States should
knock at the doors Of the Union, 10, another
State appears, (ss will be seen from the article
which we subjoin,) and with Constitution In
her hand Is already at the doors and earnestly
asking for admission. VIII she be admitted or
be coldly sent away again to the wilderness7
Not many months will pass before this question
will be answered. Perhaps Congress will de-
lay her admission until she has gone through
Territorial probation; but, with the astonishing
ly rapid increase of the Mormon population, that
probation cannot be Of great duration and ere
long, in all probability, Deserst will be num-
bered as one Of the States of the American
Union.

What influence will they exert upon herr What

not trouble ourselves in the attempt to answer
these questions. Time will speedily answer

Identical.
