In the discharge Of my official trust.
the duty again desoiyes upon me of COM
municating TO the Legislature intorma-
ton of the condition of the Territory
AS both branches OF the Assembly
which have the honor at this time o!
addressing, are fresh from the people, |
doubt not that your deliberations will
fairly reflect the public sentiment; and
that IN the measures which may engage
your attention, there viii be that agree
nent in the principles, and that concur
renee in the detail: of legislation, which
are necessary to give consistency to
councils, and unity TO action. A per-
feet coincidence IN the views Of a rep
resentative body upon all points, is not
to be expected nor desired. Among in
telIigent and inde endent minds, there
may bc-thcre muat bc--diilercnces,
which render necessary mutual! conces-
sions for the sake OF the common good.
To accomplish practical results, meas
ures must often be shaped and modified
by the comparison and partial compro-
mise Of different opinious. When thcse
differences rest upon points purely spec
ulative, or of comparative uui!nportance
in practice, they will properly yield to the
higher claims of the public service. Tne
trust which has beer conhded to you OF
conducting the legislation OF vast ter
ritory, rapidly rising under the spur OF
recent events. from political childhood
10 manly strength and independence, is
mos; responsible; and, as the delegated
agents of the people, may YOU ever bear
IN mind, that public station can IN no in
stance be honorable to the individual
when not honorable and useful to the
public.
Fer an exhibition in detail of the fs-
ca! condition of the Territory, refer
you TO the usual annual reports Of the
Auditor and the Treasurer, which will
be laid before you at an early day.

This Is certainly very encoura ging
exhibit, and pre- ents unerring evidence
of our ability, with prudent manage
ment, to meet all drafts upon the treas
ury, without any increase of taxation.
The unorganiZed counties appear TO
have neglected their contribution to the
revenue of 1850, but as they arc sub
ject only to territorial tax, and us their
quota IS very small, am constrained to
think that the omission has arisen
through negligence on the part Of the
collecting officers. Your attention is
invited to devising means for collecting,
within the term Of each year, its current

seem a very Insignificant matter; but it
cannot SO be considered, when we re-
fleet that extravagant outlays and habits
OF waste, when once created by a roy-
ernment, are difficult to be reformed and
retrenched; and that in this respect its
earlier legislation may in no incousidcr-
able degree bias the future policy of the
territory. The financial experience of
other communities ought to satisfy US,
that our progress, under the most cor
rect and prOvideat management, will
not be exempt from danger. As stew

we owe to those who are to succeed us

Gen. Cass and Intervention

Gen. Cass, few weeks ago, in the T.
$. Senate, made strong speech against the
Intervention of this country in the affairs
of Europe. Shortly afterwards, he made a
couple of speeches at couple of Kossuth
dinners in Washington, in which he was
understood to take ground very distinctly on
the other side, that is, in favor of intervon-
ton. Finding himself taxed with inconsis-
tency, he subsequently undertook to make
the whole matter straight, by offering the
following resolution in the Senate:
Resolved, That while the people of the
United States sympathize with all nations
who are striving to establish free Govern
ments, yet they recognize the great princi-
pie of the law of nations, which assumes to
each of them the right to manage its own
internal affairs in its own way, and to es-
tablish, alter, or abolish its government at
pleasure, without the interference of anv
other power. And they have not seen, nor
could they again see, without deep concern,
the violation of this principle of national in
dependence.
This resolution was evidently intended as
sort of compromise between its authors
contradictory speeches. 1t was meant to be,
like his notorious Nicholson letter, suscep-
tible of opposite interpretations. Those
Democrats who are in favor of the inter-
vention of the United States for the man.
agement of Europe, can poiut to the reso-
luton above as evidence that General Cass
is with them, and those who are opposed TO
intervention can point to it as positive
proof that he is with them. A high-sculed,
patriotic statesman will always make him
self understood. When did Henry Clay
ever bring forward a shufiling equivocal res
o'ution intended to meet the views of men of
directly opposite opinions?

Much Wisdom in Little.

In Hunts Merchants Magazine we find
a great deal of practical good sense, but the
following advice to young men is particular
ly excellent
Keep good company or none. Never be
idle. If your hands cannot be usefulIy en-
ployed, attend to the cultivation of your mind
Always speak the truth. Make few promi-
ses. Live up to your engagements. Keep
your own secrets, if you have any. When
you speak to person, look him in the face.
Good company and good conversation are the
very sinews of virtue. Good character is
above all things else. Your character can
not be essentially injured except by your
own acts. If any one speaks evil of you,
let your life be so that none will believe him.
Drink no kind of intoxicating liquors. Ever
live, misfortune excepted, within your in
come. When you retire to bed, think over
what you have been doing during the day.
Make no haste to be rich if you would pros
per. Small and steady gains give compe-
tency with tranquility Of mind. Never
play at any kind Of game of chance. Avoid
temptation, through fear you may not with
stand it. Earn money before you spend it.
Never run in debt, unless you see a way to
get out again. Never borrow if you can
possibly avoid it. Do not marry until you
are able to support wife. Never speak
evil of any one. Bejust before you are gen.
erous. Keep yourself innocent, if you
would be happy. Save when you are young
to spend when you are old. Read over the
above mnxims at least once week, and
adopt the maxims and examples of mercan-
tile morality inculcated and exhibited, from
time to time, in the pages of the Merchants
Magazine, and success will crown your eff
ferts in the battle of iife.n

"Can You Reach them Pertatersln

Many of our readers have no doubt read
the following rich anocdote. 1t is old. but
like good wine, it will bear ropetition.-
Those who have never had "rcad of it."
will thank us for roviving It from the OBJ
livion into which it was fast falling: Sew
eral gentlemen of the Massachusetts Legis-
lature, at Boston hotel, one of them asked
Mr.. NJ, gentleman who sat opposite
Can you reach them pcrtaters, sir?''
Nr. NJ. extended his arm towards the
dish and satisfied himself that he could reach
the ''pertaters," and answered.
Eyes, SIR"
The legislator was taken aback with this
unexpected rebuff from the wag; but pres
emily recovering himself, he asked
"Will you stick my for!; into one on EN-
them"
Mr. NJ. took the fork, and very cody
plunged it into finely cooked potato, and
left it there? The company reared, as they
took the joke, and the victim looked more
foolish than before; but suddenly an idea
struck him, and rising TO bis feet he ex-
claimed, with an air of conscious triumph:
'Now, Mr.. NJ, will trouble you for the
fork
Mr.. NJ. rose 20 his feet, and with the
most imPerturble gravity, pulled the fork
out OF the potato, and returned it, amidst an
unconquerable thunder of laughter, to the
utter discontinue of the gentleman from B.
