True, this one particular, separate copy of the
Holy Scriptures, being it is, both in inward and
outward form, the same as thousands and millions
in the world, may not in one sense be regarded as
possessing any very great value, yet when we
consider the original source of its inspiration and
teachings, and the end and object contemplated
by those who have here placed it in our hands as
sacred depository of purity and virtue, as an
abiding lnemento of our pledge as the Sons of
Temperance; emotions of mingled solemnily, love,
Joy and gratitude are at once excited in our bo-
SONS, for the full ut,erance of which no human
tongue is adequate. A foicer, presented by the
hand of friendship, accompanied by look Of good
will, would be highly priced; but the Bible, by the
gentle, benevolent hand of woman on occasion
like this, imparts to the gilt charm. dignity
and value far beyond all ordinary human appre-
citation.
AS to the intrinsic worth and excellence of the
Bible, il is, must all confess, the richest and
nobIest boon that has ever reached our world,
since from it alone we learn the way of happiness
and Haven. What price can count its worth?
What bveliest thing earth can picture forth its
beauty Its precepts-its promises, are drops of
chrystil-heavenly dew, scattered by the wings
of chgubims; and their purity and value, as the
fumesof hallowed incense that veil the Throne
of Col. "They are as the beaded bubbles that
sparkb on the rim of the cup of immortality; as
the gr,ins of the diamonds sand, rising i'm sunny
dust phind the chariot of the Eternal; as flashes
of light cleaning from the windows of Heaven;
as strains of living water, fresh and pure from the
fountsins of Divine intelligence" Rut will not
attempt to praise that which IS above all praise, or
honol that which surpasses the eoquence of man.
Accept, gentle lady, my sincere thanks and
that If my brethren, for the kind services rendered
by Yourself and those whom you represent May
a bengnant Heaven smile you and them,
and row in conclusion permit me again to assure
you, that we shall eDdeavor, by our devotion to
the cluse of Temperance, to evnce becoming
regad and reverence for the teachings of this
credvolume,
(Which is indeed gem,
That purer lustre filings,
Than the diadem flash
OF the jeweled crown,
On the lofty brow of kings
A wonderful pearl,
or exceeding price,
Whose virtue shall not decay;
Whose light shall be

And blessing our way.
Still onward-onward be our course,
In virtue waxing strong,
Our trust in the star of day,
And victory be our song"

THE FREE SOIL AND DEMOCRATIC
COALITION.

The metropolitan organ of the Opposition
is in the habit of designating the President
and Vice President of the United States
as the 4" Southern STAKEHOLDER and the
Northern Abolitionist." The object of
this conjunction is to repeat day by day to
the people of the North that General TAY-
LoR is a STAKEHOLDER, which is true; and to
the people of the South that WILLARD
FILLMORE is an Abolitionist, which is false.
With regard to the question of slavery,
they are both precisely what the acciden-
tai circumstances of birth and locality
have made them. They hold the views of
all moderate, patriotic, and intelligent men
on that subject. If WILLARD FILLMORE
had been born where General TAYLOR was
born, he would no doubt have been slave
holder at this moment; if General TAYLOR
had been a citizen of New York, he would
have entertained precisely the same views
as WILLARD FILLMORE now entertains,
and have been as Justly liable to the charge
of being an Abolitionist.
But why this repetition Of "Southern"
and "Northern" by the sole organ-why
not rest content with "Slaveholder" and
"Abolitipnist"' Why is it always deemed
judicous to prefix the geographical cpl

TO THE IRON MANUFACTURERS AND
MINERS OF PENNSYLVANIA

The great staple interests Of the State Of Penn
sylyania, the production Of Iron and Coal, upon
which her prosperity so intimately depends, IRE
now suffering 10 such an extent on account Of the
r,nnous prices % which they have fallen, IN cDnse
quencc Of the immense lmportaons Of foreign
ron. as 10 awaken the most serious apprahcnsions
The importance Of these great and growing
branches Of Pennsylvania industry, in the success
Of which, the manufacturer, the farmer, the minor,
artzan and laborer are either directly dependent
or deeply Interested cannot be exaggerated or too
highly estimated and the question Of their exist
ence or downfall is one Of prosperity or adversely
TO every citizen Of this State, and ought 10 be a
matter Of serious consideration to the General Co
yernmeut.
We cannot shut our eyes 70 the fact that great
revulsion has come upon those interests within Il
very short period, and il IS equally obvious that
this event Is directly attributable to revuslon Of
the same kind upon the same branches Of Industry
IN England
IL becomes u.s. therefore, whose interests are
deeply involved, to inquire Why the industrial
branches Of this country should necessarily depend
so intimately upon those Of foreign countres that
when theirs are prostrated, and ruin bowers over
them ours are involved lB similar unfortunate
crsls--that for every pulsauon Of the foreign mar
ket ours should rcspOnd--that no foresight or pru-
depce on our part based upon The domestic demand
or domestic supply, can protect us against the i'm
prudence and wild specuiauOns q foreigners.

same view of it with the projectors. And
after all, it is sensible enough perhaps fol
one Congress to take care that its works
should not be disturbed by its successors.
The author of the Boston project is Mr..
DEGRAND, gentleman who has been
somewhat distinguished in the annals OF
railroads /; and we notice among his asso-
ciates several gentlemen who have en-
joyed similar distinction. We have not
compared the proposed scheme with the
others that are now before the country,
nor have we examined it with reference
to the public questions it may involve.
But we are glad to see the subject agitated
in such quarter, and can entertain nc
doubt that the peaceful energies of the
American people will shortly accomplish
in some form or other-the enterprise
which Mr.. Degrand and his associates con-
template.

RAILROAD TO SAN FRANCISCO.

The idea of a Railroad from the Allan
tic to the Pacific has long ceased to
startle us by the seeming immensely of
the project, or the difficulties in the way
of completing it. The public mind seems
to have settled down upon the conviction
that such road must be speedily built,
and men of enterprise are now casting
about to calculate the how and the where
of the enterprise, rather than to discuss the
feasibility or necessity of it. An impulse
has been given to public sentiment on this
subject, especially by the bold stand made
in its favor by Mr.. BENTON; and some of
the more sanguine of its friends are look
ing forward to the completion of such a
road during the presidency of General
TAYLOR.
We have been led to these remarks by
the perusal of the fourth edition, just is
sued, of pamphlet which records the pro-
ceedings of a meeting Of the friends of a
Railroad to California, held some three
months since at the United States Hotel
in Boston. Their project proposes that
company, composed of men in whose in
tegrity confidence can be reposed by the
nation, be chartered by Congress to con-
struct railroad from st. Louis to San
Francisco, with capital of one hundred
millions of dollars, and that this company,
latter having paid in two millions of dol
lars, shall have the right to borrow United
State 6 per cent. stock to such an amount,
not exceeding sos, O00,O 900, as may be SUI.
fcent to finish the road, and carry it into
full operation, with double track.
II is proposed, moreover, that Congress
shall give to the company strip of the
public lands, 10 miles wide, on the north
side of the road, and the land for the bed
of the road, and for dep6ts, and the right
to take from the public lands wood, gravel,
stone, iron, and other materials necessary
to construct the road
The projectors are of opinion that the
adoption of this plan will secure the COM
petion of the road in as brief space of
time as physical obstacles will permit !;
and will secure this by single act of Con-
gress, free from the chance of what they,
pleasantly enough, style the " future freaks
of legislation" Though this is rather an
odd argument to address to legislative
body, there is good policy in il no doubt,
if Congress can be induced to take the

template

There has been no little speculation, on
the part of the opposition press, as to the
attitude which the distinguished statesman
of Kentucky will assume towards the Adj
ministration on taking his seat in the SEN
ate at the next session of Congress. It
has been insinuated that Mr.. Clay might
prove thorn to the party; that he was
smarting under disappointments which
filled his mind with acrimony and un-
charitableness. They who predict fac
tious opposition from him to the Admins
tration, measure his spirit by their own.
We have reason to know that the cordial
relations which subsist between Mr.. Clay,
General Taylor and hiss Cabinet, are such
as warrant the belief that the Administra-
ton will find in him a cordial and sincere
supporter. There is no room to doubt that
the great Republican party will present an
unbroken front to the assailants of the
principles upon which it was marshalled
at the late canvass.
