California in the U. s. Senate Position
of Mr., CLAW.

In the course of the debate on the Califor
MIA question in the U. S. Senate, on the 1tf
ult, Mr.. Clay declared himself in favor of the
immediate admission of California, independ
ent of all compromise. The Washington cor
respondent of the N. Y. Evening Post, 1.-THE
Barnburner Organ of New York) writing un
der that date, says:
''The beginning of the end has has com
menced. California and nothing else, has beer
and is at this present time the only theme O
thought or talk, in the capitol the white hous,
and the street.
Mr.. Clay has made in the Senate this morn
ing most important declaration. He says in
substance, that the State of California has been
formed, that she has presented herself here as
an applicant for admission into the Union by
and through her Senators and Representatives
regularly and legally selected, and that in his
judgment, propriety, justice and expedIency
required that she should at once be admitted,
and that no other business should be attended
to until the decision of Congress upon this
great question were rendered.
This declaration settles Mr.. Clay's course.
He relinqushes principal point in his COM
promise resolutions, Objectionable to the free
States. He gives up the idea of connecting
the claim of California to immediate admis-
sion, with any project for the organization OF
government in the territories.
1t is evident that California is rapidly gain
ing strenth, and that she must come in with
her own boundaries and constitution, unmuti-
lated and unmarried.
Foote. to-day, while talking for the amuse-
ment of the galleries and to the annoyance ot
the Senate, drew out from Mr.. Douglas the
Interesting statement, that he believed a ma
iority of the Committee on Territories o
which he is Chairman, to be favorable to the
admission of the new State. The majority he
refers to consists no doubt, of himself, Coop
er and underwood.

Eur0nean News.

The mails by the last Atlantic steamer
have been received, and in addition to the
Biographical report, the following extract from
Lord John Russel's speech touching Canadian
affairs will be read with interest
That government (Canada) has been con-
Quoted of late years in conformity with what
Her Majesty's Ministers believe to be the
opinion of the people of Canada. When
Lord E Elgin@saw that the Ministry he had found
in Office had narrow majorities in the Assem-
bly, he proposed either that they should dis
solve the Assembly They preferred to dis
solve the Assembly which was returned gave
a great majority to their adyersaries, and
Lord Elgin placed their adyersaries in Office.
| do not think, therefore, that it would be
possible to carry out more fairly or more fully
the principle of allowing the province to man
age his affairs have however, seen bitter
complaints on this subject; and | have seen
that some persons have even gone the
length of proposing that, instead of remaining
subject to her Majesty, the province of Canada
should be annexed to the United States
To that proposal of course, the Crown could
give nothing but a decided negative Qold
cheers aud trust, altough such suggestion
several ofthe gentlemen who are members, of
the association, it is not their intention, to push
their project of joining a neighboring State
to the ultimate result of endeavoring by force
of arms to effect a separation from Great
Britain; but that, knowing the determined
viii of the Sovereign of this country and of her
advisers, not to permit that project to be car
ried into effect, they will aequiesce in the de
cision of the crown. ("Hear, hear" and cheers
I wonder, at the same time, that any per-
sons who profess Loyalty to the sovereign should
have entertained aproject which, if unfortuna
| tely any international difference occurred be
tween this country and the United States o
America, might have placed them in the posi-
ton of raising their arms against British au
thority; and of fighting against the British
flag. (Hear hear) Such, then, is the condi
ton of Canada. If the present Ministry il
Canada are sustained by popular opinion
and believe the late elections that have taker
place in the recess in Canada, rather show they
will be-if they are sutained by pubic opinion
and by the Assembly, they will remain in off
ce; if on the contrary, the opinion of the pro
vince shall be adverse to them, the Governor
General will take other advisers, and he vii
act strictly according to the rule that has beer
adopted here. Hear, hear.

A Horses Opinion of a Plank Road.

The North Carolinian tells the following anec-
dote of an old farmer of that region who had
tried the plank road: "He was at first much
opposed to the plank road, and thought it
would be waste of money to build it. But
he came to Fayetteville with his wagon and
produce, and drove on it some miles. When
be got back to Chatham, our merchant friend
asked him if he had seen the plank road ?
Yes,' he said, .he had seen it, We'll did
you drive oni to Yes well don't you think
you can carry four times as much weight on it
with your four horse team as on a common
road ?'' 'Oh, yes says he it's first rate; and it
is fact that when the wagon got to the end
of the planks and struck the heavy dirt road
eUery horse stopped and looked around"

Indian Lesson OF wisdom.
al CASTERS FABLE

An Indian bird-cateher netted sparrow
and as he heldit the bird opened his beak and
said, "Pray let me 90. What good can my
imprisonment do? If 1 am offered for sale, nc
one will give two pieces for me, if you keep
me, you will be no more wise nor happy
but if you will promise to let me GO ! viii
give you three lessons of wisdom, by which you
may make a fortune both for yourself and your
family" To this the unconscious bird-catcher
readily agreed. "Well then," said the spar
eow, "these are my lessons: Never regret
what is irretrievely gone Never believe that
which seems improbable Never expose youl
disappointment to the world.''
Grateful for so much sound advice, the
bird catcher opened his hand, and the happy
little sparrow instantly few to the spray of a
neighboring tree, where, after pluming himself
with an air of triumph, he exclaimed, "Fool
that thou art! | have pearl in my crop
weighing tolai uadst thou killed me, how
great would have been thy treasured Hear
ing this, the ineonsidcrate man broke out into
lamentations at his loss, and when his dsap-
polntment had become more calm the little
bird reproyed him as follows: "AlasL alas
mani what are my lessons worth, when al
at the first temptation thou hast forgotten all ?
Didn't tell thee never to regret what was ire
trievably gone! And the Himalayan winds are
easier to catch again than l. Did not tel
thee never to believe that which seemed i'm
probable And how should I, whose whole
body does not weigh half tola, carry a pear
of double my own weight in my crop? DID
not tell thee to conceal thy disappointment:
from the world? And here thou hast tori
thy hair, and brawled so loud in thine anger
that the neighbors begin to gather arounc
us. Alas! alas! can experience only make 1
man wise? 90

ger The following from the N. Y. Tribune

E The following from the N, Y Tribune,
contains the true philosophy of life.
"If one knows the value of cheerful dispo-
stion, and has learned the grand and all i'm
portant secret of life-to look at it but in its
sunny aspect-dear and precious indeed are
the long winter evenings. He who enjoys them
not is either bad man or a weak one. II
one will but drive away the clouds from bis
own mental perceptions, all will look fair and
lovely without; but if we sedulously envelope
our minds yein mists and vapors, the world
will seem melancholy enough. Our life is like
stream, rejecting on its surface the pictures
of the objects past which it sweeps, but con
tanning unchanged within its bosom the clear
or muddy current of its own qualities, and al
the hidden and shining treasures that lie up
on its bed.
Let us abroad in the golden moonlight, an6
see the calm stars that forget never in all the
course of time to come at their appointed mo
ment and keep their deep and silent watcf
over the world and the countless host ofslee
ping mortals, whose hearts throb and dilate
with an unknown sympathy under their mys
terious influences. THERE'S joy stronger anc
more healthful than the laughter of men and
women abroad at this solemn hour. The tink-
ling of the frosty dew, and its particles meet
and shiver in bright sparkles through the air
makes soft and soothing music; and the un
seen process of iccle- making causes the fair
les of the night to laugh amid their merry
work.
In the streets is life and humanity enough
if these are what you need have to complete
your enjoyment. The street is crowded witt
gay and laughing throng, which, if you scru
tinise it not too closely, will serve excellen
we'll to fill up our picture. After all, how know
we that there is not quite as much hypocrisy
dishonesty and heartlessness in the day pro
cession we are wont to make room for so re
specially, as here? What broken faith, wha
forced tokens of love which has long grown
cold upon the altar where it was lightedAhow
much demure cheating and overreaching-
how many dishonored vows, false hearts anc
anguished bosoms, dash past us in the brigh
daylight, all unknown and undetectedl Ifolt
Teufelsdrokh, with his vesture penetrating eye
were here beside us, he might teach us many
usefnl lessons, whose application would hum
BILE the naughty, and perhaps raise up the de
based. Yet, after all, mayhap, it is better a
