tence Of extending the area Of freedom.-
These reprehensible aggressions but retard
the true progress Of our nation and tarnIsh
its fair fame. They should, therefore, re-.
ceiye the indignant frowns of every good
citizen who sincerely loves his country, and
takes pride in its prosperity and honor.
Our Constitution, though not perfect, IS
doubtless the best that ever was formed
Therefore let every proposition to change it
be well weighed, and if found beneficial
cautiously adopted. Every patriot willre.
joice to see its authority so exerted as to
advance the prosperity and honor of the
nation, whilst he will watch with jealousy
any attempt to mutilate this charter of our
Liberties, or pervert its powers to acts OF
aggression OF injustice. Thus shall conser-
vatism and progress blend their harmonious
action in preserving the form and spirit Of
the Constitution, and at the same time car
ry forward the great improvements of the
country with rapidity and energy which
freemen only can display.
In closing this, my last annual commune
cation, permit me, fellow citizens, to congrat.
ulate you on the prosperous condition Of our
beloved country. Abroad its relations with
all foreign powers are friendly its rights are
respected, and its high place in the family Of
nations cheerfully recognised. At home we
enjoy an amount Of happiness, public and
private, which has probably never fallen to
the lot of any other people. Besides afford
ing to our own citizens degree of prosper
ity, of which on so large scale | know of
no other instance, our country is annually
afording refuge and home to multitudes.
altogether without example, from the Old
World.
We owe these blessings, under Heaven, to
the happy Constitution and Government
which were bequeathed to US by our fathers.
and which it is our sacred duty to transmit
in all their integrity to our children. We
must all consider it a great distinction and
privilege to have been chosen by the people
to bear part in the administration Of such
a Government. Called by an unexpected
dispensation to its highest trust at a season
of embarrassment and alarm, entered upon
its arduous duties with extreme difidence.
claim only to have discharged them to the
best of an humble ability, with a single eye to
the public good; and it is with devout graft
tude, in retiring from Office, that leave the
country in state of peace and prosperity.

A SAFE BET.

ABorr the time of the first influx of i'm.
migration into California, little scene oc.
Cured on the steamer Tennessee, during
one Of her upward cruises in the Pacific
Ocean, which we do not remember Of Seeing
in priut, but ever published or not, will, we
think, bear repeating
One Of these moral fungi on society i'll
general parlancc by the soubriquct OF "back
legs" had spread a tempting bait, i'll the
way Of little faro, before Il promiscuous
assemblase Of suckers, floosiers, Buckeyes,
Corncrackers, &C., who were on their way
wav to the New I'll Dorado. Among the
numbers was Il sturdy kentuckian who in
humble suit Of homespun, stood watching
the game with interest.
"iIere old Teller, lost a ten, that time,
and here's the money"
GLOW is that" exclaimed the sharper, F."
saw you make 10 bet J"
"Well you see, sez to myself, scz |, that
Jacks been an uncommon lucky keard, IN
,icd darn my picters, ef don't bet Il ten on
it; so the pesky jack lost, and you've got
my money"
Thinking he had picked up green horn
the gambler gave Il sly wink at the few
knowing ones" who encirclcd him, aud
went on with the game.
After a few deals, our corn cracker smack
ed his fist emphatica!lv on the table, and eX.
claimed: "Dod rabbit it, thar g"es an"ihe'
saw.buck, on the plaguey jack, here take
it old horse fly"
With an iIl.suppressed grin Of satisfaction
the sharper took the money, and added 1t tf
the rapidly growing pile before him.
In due course Of time, the jack came uI
triumphant, and our yeoman, jumping VI
nearly to the ear liucs, cracked his heels to-
gethcr and exclaimed:
"By Cd, 1 iron fifty Ma! time; so forf
up you lovely old cuss yon."
The "sell'' was so evident, that the gam
bier had nothing else TO do than to pay the
money with the remark that 1.-the next tim'
the Kcntuckian made bet, he wanted hin
to put the money down."-Cincinnati Com
mercial.

goods, consisting Of silks, laces, muslins lin.
ems, &C., &C., which they will, no doubt, en-.
deavor to dispose of without the usual taxes
levied on merchants and regular pedlars. 1t
therefore, behooves those who pay taves for
the privilege Of selling goods, to keep sharp
look out for these characters. When these
characters first made their appearance in
this neighborhood, it was to sell little lin.
en-, the produce OF their own hands, to sup
plyfhe dear wife and children with potatoes,
or to, remove them to this blessed coun-
try;;npsand their ptiful tales excited sympa-
thyen6ugh in their behalf, to enable them
to do o good business. This fact added to
their number, until the whole country is over
run with them.
1t may not be generally known, but never.
theless. such is the fact, that the business is
Systematically prosecuted, not only by these
foot.pads, but by men Of wealth. In New
York there are several large establishments,
which import all the goods, smuggling in as
many as possible. These establishments
sent out the foot.pads all over the country
to retail the goods, in direct violation of
aw.-IIence their ability to undersell the
honest dealer, who pays the duties and tax
cs. The system has grown, until it has be-
come serious evil, and should be put a stop
to. We do not doubt there are many who
for the sake of getting bargains, will buy of
these men, and keep their secret; but q very
little effort on the part Of those whose inter
est are ost affected, will arrest the evil.
It is possible these men may be abolition
emmissaries, and that they may be as intenI
