We have never heard OF Yankee enterprise better ex
empiied than in the facts which we here nanaie. In
April last, George Kimball, OF Frankfort, Maine,
conceived the idea OF building chip by which to convey
himself and others poor like himself to California
Oregon His only capital was energy, industry, ntegn
IT, and kindly disposition; and yet, without money or
credit he accomplished his conception by launching in
November, in less than eight months from commencing
his work, noble OF 600 tons, OF model and
finish not exceed BY the finest craft Of our largest ship
yards
Capt Kmball--for captain he well deserves to be call
edwent from Frankfort to the village Of Cutler, the
coast OF Mane remote from business and OF capital
and commenced his work alone. He was soon joined by
single man, and in few weeks others followed
contributed provisions, and the farmers sent in cat
e which were exchanged for materials for ship build
ing The novelty Of the undertaking attracted adventu.
from distance. and experienced ship builders and
joners arrived to give their strength and skill to the
work All who aided in the enterprise, whether men,
women, or children. received their proporonass share in
the ship .s,nt
As we have said, in less than eight months, noble
ship was built and launched by these novel means,
through the indopsbe energy Of man, and she is
now in Boston, WITH her passengers on board those who
built and own her, and to whom she Is now home II
political economists hereafter wish 70 know why the Uni
ted States pushes her boundaries and Institutions beyond
all rivalry, let them cite this instance Of enterprise and
genius OF single borerer, who. in the midst Of viii
derness and against every disadvantage, built himself
craft to ceave the seas, and bear him 10 whatsver cline
his industry or daring may lead. Such ere sove-
reigns OF the EARTH and the most barren wastes under
their tread become prosperous and populons empires

Congress organize no form Of territorial government for
them, but wait their own tme--fx their own hounda-
resake much Of the public domain as they please,
without regard to the convenience and wants Of the
contiguous Territory dispose Of the public lands, which
may lie within their bordss however precious may be the
mines which lie in their bosom. Meanwhile, until they
do this, let Congress make provisional organization
preserve their peace and keep up this fatal excitement
which is now agtating the Union Such is virtually the
Presidents scheme Of mastery Inactivity
only as regards Congress. but active in every other
spect in disturbing the peace OF the whole Union And
why is all tAisl That Gen. Taylor may dodge the re-

masking his position.

duce murmurs in the North among his friends
