The Bargain and the Consideration.

ADMITTED LAST OPENLY AND FULLY ester
day Mr.. Green of Montgomery, who, by the way,
is one of the very best members ofthe House, was
Eengaged throwing rocks at the locofocos and took
occasion to say that there was regular bargain
was lasti year between the Locofoco and some
of the Free Soilers and that the bargain was
written and signed by the parties. Some one
on the other side asked if he had seen writing
He said. no, but Mr.. Larimer of Perry, had told
him there was such writing and THAT every loco
foco in the House but himself had signed it. Mr..
Pugh denied signing any contract He had signed
paper with other democratic members in which
they agreed among themselves that they would vote
for the repeal of the black laws. Mr., Green asked
what consideration there was for this promise
Pugh said the consideration was, that THE FREE
SOILERS SHOULD STAND BY HIM in his
contest for a seat there &c. We take it after this
open confession in the hall of the House of Repre-
sentatives, this transaction will no longer be mis-
und 4rstood by the people Of Ohio. We ask the
press every where, to note and remember the
above.
Verify. ifthe House was not conference meet
ing just then, it confessional and one of some
interest We ask careful reading of the report

Beautiful.

The following exceedingly beautiful obituary
notice clip from the Clinton Republican We
have seen nothing finer.
DIED-At Harveysburgh, on the evening of
the 9th instant, Arthur, infant son of Horace and
Rosalie Dakn,
High up the mountain slopes of Chamouny
there is beautiful plain, covered with verdure and
flowers. Thither the Shepherds of the Alps drive
their focks to partake of the rich pasturage aud
breath the pure mountain air. The ascent is diff
cult-over icebergs and torrents. Atone point the
rocks rise almost perpendicular-when the flock
arrives at this point, none appears bold enough to
venture-but the shepherds gather the lambs in
their arms and toss them up on the plain-the
whole flock Chambers after them-and soon is feed
ing upon the rich herbage-or Eliminating beneath
the "rose trees of the Alps" Bereaved parent
the Lamb of your love has been carried up and
beckons you to follow, where are flowers sweetel
than those of the Alps and air and sunshine pur-
er and brighter than is found upon Chamouny; II
is the greenwood of Love in the Spirit Land.

animation which have been able 10 give il, cam
not speak advsedly Of its merits but appears to be
able documen and the principle questions that
agitae the country. There undoubtedly many errors
in it, owing to the nposs biy of teegraphing correctly,

The Effects of Slavery

Can any one having but the least spark of hu-
manity smoldering in his breast not have it kndled
into a consuming fire, BY reading such paragraph
as the followino7 1t is from the ST. Louis Rev
ellie, paper printed in free country but unfor-
tunately in aportion of that country darkened by
the curse of slavery:
"a drove of thirty-fve negroes-black cattle,
but not horned-were forwarded per boat yester-
day to New Orleans. A better conditioned lot
never appeared in market 1t will doubtless COM
mand high rates. 1t was walked on board the
steamer only at the moment she tapped her last
bell, owing it is believed to the risks by fire. A
stream of sparks, in close proximity to thirty-ive
little bales of wood, Nigh have caused going off
The lot appeared affected in various ways Some
were stoical Others may be unused to the iolting
of steamer in backing out allowed their faces to
spread themselves-a horrible expansion of mus
cles, acetiously dubbed grin-whilst others again
displayed little fountains, starting some distance
below the wool. and marking the cheeks as they
trickled dewn. Alas! that all marketable wool is
not goats wool"
Teese men made in the image and likeness of
God, are facetiously termed "back cattle;;" while
the feelings that mark them human beings, des-
pte the degration of their condition, are sported
and trifed with; those feelings that are in truth,
the electric sparks from the great neart of God
himself lightning up their poor benghted souls.
Do not such scenes as this make one almost des-
pair of his country that country that presents,
amid the darkness of christendom at this moment,
the only face which the heel of despotisn has not
trodden upon and entirely disfgured and des-
troyed. Chicago Dem.

Oregon--Gor. lanes MESSAGE.

The Message of Gov. Lane to the Legislature OF
Oregon Territory contains some valuable statistics
and suggestions in relation to the resources and
social condition ofthe country 1t speaks about
the fertility of the soil, the inheXhausubc Forest
never-failng streams, the mines OF gold, silver
iron, lead and coal the immense river, Columbia,
nav0able so miles for vessels of the largest GLASS;
and with an entrance "by no means SO dangerous
as it has been reported;" Pugets Sound one of the
largest and best harbors in the world, afording
ship navigation into a beautiful portion OF the
country, Touching the gold fever and its effects
the Governor says:
"Many of our people who have been to the mines,
are returning to their homes and farms, and it is
to be hoped are satisfied and determined to remain
and renew their farming and other occupations
The rold excitement occasioned the absense of
a large part of our laboriug population; many OF
them had failed to put in crops; consequently,
this year, the crops will fall short of an average
one But there is no doubt that with the grain
on hand there will be a sufficient supply for home
consumption
ave have good reason to believe that the extra
ordinary emigration to California, in consequence
of the gold mines will in a short time result in ad-
ding so largely to numbers, that our popula-
ton, now only about nine thousand, will be doub-
led in the next twelve months The healthy eli
mate, rich and beautiful vaes of Oregon, will
doubtless induce many of them to seek a perma-
nent home among u.s. She will thus be benititted
by those mines equally with her sister territory.
at is estimated that upwards of two millions of
dollars in gold dust have been brought into Oregon
since their discovery"
The expense of the late war with the Coyuse
tribe of Indians is stated at 100000, As regards
donations of land he says that the people of Ore
gon believe the faith of the Government is pledged
to a grant of land to each settler who has made a
location and improved it. He urges the importance
of good roads," an adequate system of revenue,
and Immediate system for general common school
Education, and an efficient organization of the
militia

A correspondent of the Evening Post, comments
upon the scene the House presented when the du-
piicy of Mr. ]. Brown, first discovered and de-
tails an incident which carries with it moral that
should not be lost:
"One of the most painful incidents in this whole
scene have not yet mentioned. 1t was taken for
granted on all hands, before the House met that
Brown would be elected on the first ballot He
had prepared his installation speech, and his poor
wife had gone with him to the house to share his
triumph She was in the gallery of the house
when his prospects were so ANONYMOUSLY blasted.
Had that fact been generally known to the men,
bers, it is probable thatzshe would have been spar
ed much of the agony which the scene before her
must have occasioned A more terrible revulsion OF
feeling than awaited her it would not be easy for
the human heart to servye, and is to be hoped
that love which
is ever the game
Through gloom and through glory. through sin end
through shame
may have sustained her and tempered an af1icton
for which all ordinary consolation would have been
vain and impotent''

OLD HAYs.-The New York Tribune says:-
This venerable and shiny-headed old patriarch of
policemen and pet of the Common Council Cham
bers, now in his eightieth year, was Monday
sworn as High Constable for the forty ninth time.
If the life and experience of Jacob Hays is ever
written the devourers Of Sue and Reynolds may

we trust we are to hear of nothing fthe kind for
at least half century to come"

A Member for Life--If not a Life Member.

The New York Day Book must be held respon-
sbe for the following capital story:
young gentleman who was more fond of la
dies society than good sermons invited daughter
of one of the millionaires to attend church with
him to hear sermon, by distinguished divine Of
the orthodox faith. 1t so happened that the elo-
quent preacher preached that afternoon what is
called charity sermon, and our young gentleman
not having ''come prepared" for such an occur
renee, called upon his fair companion for loan OF
the wherewth to respond to the call of the contr-
button box
Have you any ey?" SAID he to the miss
"and if so will YOU lend me a triflle ,"
~ have BILL" said the lady offering him bank
note which he suddenly took and dropped into the
plate The next day he called upon his fair cred
ltor to pay up.
GLOW large bill was that you gave me yester-
day?" as he drew one dollar note from his wal
let.
"Fifty dollars was the reply
Mr.. H-s hands fell upon his lap, and fol
about three minutes he looked steadily into the la
dy's face without uttering word. At length, he
gave long, low whiste-rose slowly from his
seat-bid the lady good night-said he would call
again and left for home.
Now fifty dollars to Mr. H, was no trhing
sum, for he was "only a clerk" on small salary,
but he Scratched round" raised the money, and
paid it over That was the last contribution he has
ever mape to any charitable fund.- and as for char
ty sermons, they were his adherence. He con-
siders himself life member of every benevolent
institution in the country.

1s HE RICH %

Many a sigh is heard, many heart is broken,
many life is rendered miserable by the terrible
infatuation which parents often manifest in choos-
ing life companion for their daughters. How
is It possible for happiness to result from the union
of two principles 50 dametrically opposed to each
other in every point, much virtue is to voice
How often is the first question which is asked re-
specting the suitor of the daughter, this-1s he
rich ?"
as he rich? Yes, he abounds in wealth: but
that does not afford any evidence that he viii make
a kind affectionate husband.
"Ia he rich" Yes, his clothing purple and fine
linen, and he fares sumptuously every day. But
can you infer from that that he is virtuous?
aIs he rich?" Yes he has thousands feeting in
every ocean; but do not riches take to themselves
wings and fly away? VIII you consent that your
daughter shall marry man that has nothing to
recommend him but his wealth? All, beware the
gilded bate sometime covers the barbed hook. Ask
not as he rich,'' but sis he. virtuous?" Ask not
if he has wealth, but if he has honor; and do not
sacrifice your daughters peace for money.
