~ We would say to the Wisconsin Argus
that different psople attach different values to the
same object, and what it might think valucless
we, on the other hand, might look upon as par
ticularly valuable. We never yet knew the Ar
gus to attach any value to really good object;
there seems to be no correspondence between

there never was a good measure conceived or

thing more about the Wilmot Proviso. This,
the Argus thinks, is selling out the Proviso very
cheap. We think not We look upon this land
reform, as undertaking all other reforms, and if
it can be secured that many other questions, and
particularly this Wilmot Proviso question, would
also be thereby secured. Give the public lands
to those who will settle and cultivate them, and
prevent spectators from monopolizing them,
and there will be no danger of slavery extension.
Slavery requires large plantations for its occu-
patton and an entire crushing and degrading of
labor in its neighborhood, otherwise, it cannot
live. and these conditions, as is very evident, it
cannot have, if freedom of the public lands and
land limitation be enacted We never looked
upon the Wilmot Proviso as more than a very
partial REFORM but we advocate it because it is a
reform and because it is the question which in
the order of things has risen before the popular
attention Its enactment would have the effect
to curtail the spread of chatte slavery and would
also give an impulse to the cause of freedom, but
the real essence of general slavery lies deeper :;
it lies inthe monopoly and sale of the earth To
strike then at the root and essence of all slavery
it is necessary to'overturn this false system, and
hence we look upon effort in that direction as
superceding all partial effort. AS we view it
then, the Argus will perceive that we, at least,
by no means consider it bad bargain to trade off
the Wmot Proviso for Freedom of the Public
Lands and and Limitation

and propriety of raising such committee, we
can look forward with confidence to the result

states that the committee had already agreed
to propose the union of the California bill, las

The Big Lump.

Mr.. Richard F. Perkins, of Hallowell Me-,
the lucky man who has the lump of gold
weighing FOURTEEN POUNDS, exhibited the
beauty to the astonished gaze of Kcnnebcckers,
few days since. Mr.. Perkins has paid fly
ing visit to his home, preparatory to his return
to California, and brought the lump with him.
1t would, perhaps, DO thought by glance,
that it consisted chiefly of quartz, the only
signs of the yellow metal being tho golden
veins that run over and around it. It is about
twice as large as good sized pine apple, and
somewhat of that shape. To all appearance,
one would not suppose it contained gold of
any considerable value, but an effort to lift i.
with the thumb and finger is convincing. 1t
takes thumb and finger with pretty good
quantity of muscle to do it. The value of this
lump is about $500. AS specimen of Cali
fornia minerals il is worth $4,000 or more, and
ought to be purchased by Government. 1t
was picked up in dry ravine on the North
Fork of the American river, and is the largest
and most valuable specimen of native gold on
the continent.

MIR. Bradbury's Speech,

In the Senate, on the 23d ult., in reply to
Truman Smiths lame defence of the admins
tration, is represented as perfect corroder,'
and irresistible. Mr.. Bradbury had "kept the
documents and was fully prepared to contro-
vert the assertions of the administration Attor-
ney.
1t was clearly and ably shown and supported
by statistics, by Mr.. b., that the removals
made by the present administration, exceed
those made during the whole two terms OF
General Jackson and Mr.. Van Buren, When
Mr.. Folks administration commenced, the of.
icers in Washington stood 266 wings to.374
democrats the principal offices are now 50 di.
vided as to leave four wings to every de:nocra,
in Office. In the post Office department. alone
the trifiing number of three thousand three
hundred and eighty-nine removals have been
made And all this by the no-party presi.
dent One thing is pretty evident, if Smith is
determined to make it out that Old lack was
elected as party president, he must acknowl-
! edge his presen. claims to the title of no-par-
ty president.

The Nicaragua Treaty.

it. 1t says, in italics, the treaty lays the
foundation of complete revolution in the

biguity, sows the seeds of great naval conflict
between the United States and England, which
will surpass anything of the kind which has
ever taken place in the history of the human

confidence among capitalists, both here and in

The Saco Tragedy,

DR.. James II. Smith, whose examination
was concluded last week, has been committed
to the Jail in Alfred, to be tried before the Su-
preme Court on the third Tuesday of Scptem-
Der. The principal witness in the case is a
girl, Il years of age, named Ann Covcny, who
has been living in the family of DR. S. She
testified that Mary Bean died at DIR. Smith,
house about Christmas. There was a gentle
man who called to see her all the time she was
there. She had no other company Mary
once told her that her parents lived at Camden.
After Mary died, DIR. Smith secured her Sc
cresy, and then told her Mary was dead. l re-
collect the day the body was found in the
brook. DR. Smith told me they had found
Mary. asked if it was Mary they had found
he said yes. He told me they had burned
Mary's other trunk. Dr. S. told me Mary
was sick with typhoid fever. The witnesses
are all holden for their appearance, including
w. a. n. Long, alleged to have been the
father of the child with which the girl was
pregnant. Mr.. Smith belongs in New York
state, and has lived in Newburyport.

That Gen. Taylor, is playing bold hand for
the next presidency there can be no doubt
Whether he will play it as skilfully and success
fully as before, remains to be seen. We think
we may safely say now, that whatever may be
the turn of events, the people will k,,o1 in the
next canvass, for whom they are voting. They
will not be blinded again by his non-committal-
ism. lie will come before the people, if he
comes at all, as an avowed whig.or at least,
the dupc of whiggery. His affected sincerity
and honesty will not stand the test of another
trial, nor will his studied silence again pass for
craftsmanship, The annals of political treach-
cry Will hardly afford precedent for the fraud
that was practiced upon the people in his ele-
vation 20 the presidency. Never before has a
candidate for that high office resorted to such
means to obtain it. Never has one, after hav-
ing obtained it, been so entirely faithless to
his promises.
In MIR. Clay, Mr.. Polk had an honorable op-
ponent. If he was elevated to the presidency,
the people knew what TO expect. His policy
was before the country, and he was the open
and fearless advocate of it. Not so with Gen.
Taylor. He protested to have no party predilec-
tions-had no friends to reward, or enemies to
punish. No sooner had the object of his wish
es been secured, however, than he an
avowed whig, and the guillotine commenced
its work. If a private citizen, in the common
concerns of life, should be so faithless to his
engagements, he would be looked upon as un-
worthy of the confidence of his fellew men,
How much more responsible is he, then, who
occupies the highes position to which human
ambition can aspire (. Of his ability for the
station we need not speak. Suffice it to say
that the whole history of the world fails to pro-
duce another instance in which man so en-
tirely destitute of experience in and knowledge
of political science has been raised to such an
office; and looking to the past, and judging of
the future, it is certainly to be hoped that there
may never be another. Especially to that Of
fee which has been honored by the trancenden-
tai powers of Jefferson and Madison.

Whereas, we the members of the Bath Teach
ers' Institute, which closes this evening, desire
to show in what estimation we hold Prof. Man
devlle's valuable course Of instrustion, to which
we have been permitted to listen, therefore,
Resolved, that we recognize in his elements
of Reading and Oratory, FIRST a system Of Pune
tuation. based upon the fundamental principles
Of our language as used by our best writer's
secondly, a complete classification of all its
sentences; and thirdly, the appropriate deliv-
cry of every kind of sentence to be found in
the language.
Resolved. that though we have not, as read
ers, been able to come up to the standard Of
the above named book, yet we may hope, by its
aid, to raise the character of instruction in this
department far above what it has heretofore
been among us.
Resolved, further that we tender to Prof NJ
our most sincere thanks for the privilege which
he has afforded us of gaining knowledge OF
his system of instruction in reading and speak
