COVE suggest to the Mechanics So

co-We suggest to the Mechanics So
ciety the propriety Of purchasing the
Lasselle lot, OH Thames street, and ercc-
ting thereon n substantial threc-siory
building. The first floor could be occu-
pied by the Town, for public ofIires, for
the Clerk, Trrasurcr, &C.. the Society
reserving.a a Library room. The second
asa Public School-room, and the third
ms Lecture Hall for the Society. The
principal owner, Of the lot has had il
cleared, and will sell it TO the Society for
what il cost him. without any charge for
clearing. &c. The Mechanics and
Manufacturers can thus obtain IN cx-
cellcnt aud commodious Hall, which
will always le, for exhibitions, &c.; they
will also have good and safe Library
room. and their rents Of the other parts
of the building will nearly pay the inter
est on the capital invested in building.
We think the suggestion worthy OF care
iul consideration.

DoiNG A Silly TnlNG.-South Caro-
lima has suffered many Of her public men
to say very silly things in her name, and
she has Mt length, by way Of endorsing
all these silly things, concluded at last to
do one. She has taken n step from
which she must either recede, or follow
up with course of action that must in
volvc conscqu nccs it is impossible 10
iorescc. She has determined on prin-
cipie. and very mischicvous principle,
too. TO employ no more Northern coast
cfs and, in carrying out this principle,
the Charleston Mercury makes sort
Of merit of the fact that cargo has been
refused TO one Of the oldest and most
faithful men in the trade. He has been
employed for the last fifteen years in
bringing rice from 'Santee to Charles
ton but on being thrust out by the
Charleston folks, he has quietly sailed to
Savannah in quest of business.
Ofcourse man has right to employ
whomsocver he pleascs, but n combina-
ton olths sort is, in effect, as palpable
violation of the spirit of the constitution
of the United States rs any proceeding
that has ever taken place north of Ma
son and Dixon's line. South Carolina
is manilcslly actuated by the notion that
she may, with perfect propriety, set the
constitution and everything else at def
ance. so long as she can do so without
provoking the power Of the general gov
ernmcnt. But il seems to us highly
probable that she will again 60 on until
she arrives at that point where she will
again be permitted to go no further.

"On our frs. page will be found very
interesting letter from Hon MIR. Thurston,
TO which we alluded last week. Mr.. T.,
il will be reccolIected, is the first Delegate
in Congress from Oregon Territory. His
history is somewhat a remarkable one.--
He is a native of Cumberland county
Maine. His early opportunities for an
education were very limited; but with what
little knowledge he was able TO pick up at
the common school, he commenced the bu-
siness Of life as a Methodist Preacher,--
This employment not sui,ing him exactly,
or perhaps being ambitious Of a more
commanding position than the mental
disipline and limited requirements he
then possessed would give him, he took
it into his head, quite lote in life, to 60 to
College. He graduated at Bowdoin COL
lege Brunswick, Maine, in 1S43- Studied
and pructiced law, both together for about
two years in the office Of Hon. R. P. Dun
lap, of Brunswick, who was at that time a
Representative in Congress.
During the two years he was in Mr.. D. 3
office, he married him an excellent wife
studied considerable of the legal
science-stumped it through portion of
Maine, IN the Polk campaign-picked up
some thousandor two ofdollars, with which
he made his woy to Burlington, Iowa, and
there took up the practice Of the law and
the editing of Democratic newspaper
There he remained some two years longer
He then packed up ngain--bought a 'six
OK team" and two cows loaded his goods
into wagon-put his wife and one
young child with them--and, with goud in
hand drove that team in the space of six
months all the way from Burlington TO Or
egon distance of2600 miles, and there
commenced the practice of his profession
again.
"Soon after his arrival in Oregon he was
nominated as delegate to Congress; this
brought him upon the stump again, which
resulted in his election to Congress. 1t
may be added that Mr.. Thurston is man
gilmore than ordinary natural abilities and
withal very able stump orator. We are
indebted for the above to one Of Mr.. Thurs-
toms College friends"
