dangers Of the present, and the hopes Of
the future, invokcs all Who hive under ii
to adhere more strictly to il. and to pre-
serve inviolate the safeguards which i AZ
iords to the rights Of individual Ssates and
the interests Of sectional minorities.
5M. Resolced, That all Legislation or
combinations designed in any way to affect
the institutions peculiar to the South. de-
serves the most unqualified Reproduction, is
dcrogatory to the rights Of and peculiarly
offensive to the Southern States, and must
if be persisted in, inevitably defeat the res
toration of peaceful and harmonious sent-
ment in these States.
6M. Resolred, That the Governor of
this Commonwealth be requested to trans
init a copy Of these resolutions to the Ex-
ecutive ofthe State of South Carolina. with
the request that they be laid before the
next Legislature, and that copies be also
transmitted to the Executive Of each ofthe
other States of the Union-ihe State Of

On motion Of Mr.. Dorman the House
adjourned.

From Oregon.

We have received by the Ohio Oregon
papers to the LIST of February.
The Oregonian states that the Legisla-
ture have located the capital of the Terri
tory at Salem, the peniten,iary at Portland,
and the university at Marysville.
The Legislature was to adjourn on the
Sth of February, at which time it would
have been sixty-nine days in session.
The editor oftbe Oregonian notices some
large and beautiful specimens ofgold which
were taken on SCOTS bar, tributary Of
the Klamath. These specimens We're large,
weighing from one to two ounces. The
gold found there is coarse, generally in
pieces of the weight of a quarter of an
ounce, although some humps of from $3.50
to S5o0bad been found.

The PREsIDENCY.-Some Of the news
papers and their correspondents are begin
ming to create little stir on the subject Of
the Presidency, We consider
these efforts altogether premature. The
great body Of the Wing party are not mere
ly satisfied with President FILLMORE
course thus far, but they think it respectful
to wait while longer before taking mea-
sures calculated to create unnecessary agi-
tation. The Democrats are at loss for
single vulnerable point in the Presidents
policy. We mean the rational and rehec-
ting portion of the party.
That violent and discontinued spirits
will be found North and South must be
expected, but their efforts will be harm
less unless the conservative portion of the
people suffer themselves to be premature
iy involved in party discussions.
The next winter will afford ample time
for the consideration Of matters relating to
the Presidency. In the mean while let us
await the result Of South Cardinals pou-
ting spell. There may besomething above
all former party issues to engage the at
,ention ofthe people for several months to
come Winchester Republican.

FINANCES or THE CoRPoRArIoN.--We
invite the readers attention to the financial
exhibit Of the affairs Of the Corporation.
which we are gratifed to see are in such
flattering condition. As long as we can
make such show as this, there is no dan
ger that our bonds will fall below par, but
there is reason to hope they win command
a premium. The thanks of the commune
ty are certainly due to the Common Coun-
Gil for the skill and fidelity with which
they have managed the financial affairs Of
the town, always matter of much delica-
cy involving many intricacics, and rcquir-
ing the coolest heads and soundest iudg-
menf, to manage successfully and wisely.
Our citizens, it stikes us, could not act
more unwisely, than to fail to call to their
service again, by their votes to morrow,
the members of the common council who
have thus abund0tly manifested their fit
ness for this highly responsible station
By committing the intricate subject Of
finance to inexperienced hands, we might
become involved in difficulties from which
years of labour could not extricate us. We
do not pretend to say there are not other
gentlemen out Of the council, who are fully
competent to discharge the duties of the
Office; but this is no time for experimenting
with matters of such momentous account.
Nor have we been able to discover from
the newspaper discussions on the subject,
any solid objection to the manner in which
the late Council have discharged their du-
ties; and whilst we have entire respect for
the opinions of those who honestly differ
from us in the view, we cannot but think
that the opposition, which has been mani
tested to their reelection, has to grca,
extent at least, grown out of misconcep-
ton of the facts. We are entirely free
from all personal feeling in this matter. for
we cannot even recall to mind, as we
write, who the members are; but we look
to the results. and these we humbly sub
init, vindicate their claims TO reelection
Let us invoke our citizens, therefore, to lay
aside all personal feeling in the NATTER il
indeed any exist, and look solely to the
good of the corporation, which consists, to
some extent at least, in the preservation of
its credit.
10 Since the above was written, we
have received the communication of mo
Partisan" to which we refer; and we take
occasion to say the author is in no way
connected with the Council, and is emphat-
lcally what he processes to be, "No PART.
SAM No man i'll the community is more
thoroughly identified with the prosperity
OF the town, or feels deeper interest in it
than he; and we hope his counsels will be
hearkened to, as those Of a man entitled to
advise.

Vermont Notification.

Our readers will remember (for we pub
lished the act Of her Legislature) that the
State of Vermont during the past winter,
passed an act practically multiplying the Flu
gitive Slave Law, and thus provoked the
ridicule and censure of the whole country.
1t appears, however, that the people of that
State are rather sick of the conduct of their
Legislature and do not, by any means
sanction this proceeding. At least, so SAYS
Senator Phelps of that State, who writes a
long and patriotic letter to Mr.. Segar ofthe
Legislature, which appears in the Wing of
Wednesday, and in which he pledges him
selffor the people ofVermont, that they will
promptly repeal the Objectionable law as
soon as their Legislature meets. He says
it was snap judgment upon them, and
that even the Legislature itself, had it duly
considered the measure, which was a.
dopted in great haste and just on the eve
Of adjournment, would not have passed it.

ought to write proper names, at least, legi-

compelled to throw communications aside
for the simple reason that we could not

editors and compositors vast deal of
