Division of Oregon Territory.

We perceive that General Lane has
introduc ed resolution into the House
of Representatives, in Congress, which
was referred to the Committee on Terri.
tories, relating to division Of Oregon
into two Territories. All south Of the
Columbia line, to form new Territory,
to bs called Columbia.
This is an important movemen', and
will go far to strengthen the power Of our
Government on the Pacific coast. We
hope Congress will favor the views Of
the Represen ative from that Territory.
No one can know better than General
Lane, the value Of such division for the
early settlement and national strength
ofthat country. That there should be
four States bordering on the Pacific, in
stead Of two, was our opinion and wish
from the first, as matter Of national i'm.
portance, as we'll as calculated tcbene.

Confidence Restored,

There has perhaps, never been pc.
ried in our civil history, when the lead e.
ing industrial pursuits were more pros.
porous than at present. All the prod.
ucts Of agriculture and Of manufacture
are now in demand at high prices, with
ready sales for cash. We hear Of ar.
rangements being made at various pla.
ces in the country, for the manufacture
of wool, cotton, and iron. The Furnu.
ces, Foundries and Rolling Mills in
this region, all seem to be in active and
vigorous operation, and some Of them
are materially increasing their facilities.
Pig metal is now selling at from as
to $50 per ton. Bar iron and castings
stand in correspondingly high ratio,
with demand exceeding the supply.
We have always supposed that the
prices Of commodities were governed by
Spirit of the times. [volume] (Ironton, Ohio) 1853-1858, 1853-01-05
THE NEW CODE OF LAW PRO-
CEDURE.

We learn by the Portsmouth Inquir'
er, that the commissioners appointed
last winter, under the new Constitution,
to prepare system Of Law Practice for
this State. have completed their work.
and are now getting it printed for ex'
animation by the Legislature.
From their reputation for legal abili'
ty, and the sound discriminating judg'
ment of the men comprising the commits
sion, Messrs. Kennon, of Belmont,
Groesbeck, Of Cincinnati, and Morton,
Of Toledo; the conviction seems to be
quite general that the work will come
from their hands in finished condition,
so that it may be adopted by the Lesis'
lature, without alteration.
1t is not without struggle, that those
men of straw John Doe and Richard
Roe, are driven from their ancient
haunts in our Temples Of Law, together
with their concomitant gibberish, hand
cd down from ages, in which witchcraf'
was recognized and punished with death
by the highest judicial authority of Eng
land, from ages in which controversies
were d,termined by wager Of battle; and
persons charged with crime tried by the
water, or the fire ordeal.
1t is to be presumed that the long rig.
maroll Of actions as they are called, such
as assumpsit, case covenant, debt. de-

FREE SUFFRAGE.

"Reccntly tho House in the North
Carolina Legislature passed q Free Suf-
fruge Bill. The House is Whig' But
the casting vote Of the Democratic SPea'
ker defeated tho bill in the Senate
konton Register.
THE following from the Raleigh,
North Carolina Standard, gives honor
TO whom honor is due.
isa gratifying fact that every De-
mocratic member of the Commons is in
favor ofthis measure, and that every De-
moe ratio membef on the floor Of the
Senate voted for it on Tuesday-Mr.
Hoke having voted in the negative in Or.
der to obtain the right to move recon-
sidcration. Fifteen Wing votes were
cast against it in the Senate, and some
Of the Wings refused to vote. The Wing
members of the Senate have the power
10 pass the bill, and if it should fail,
the Whig party will be held responsible
before the people for its failure. The
Whig members it is understood have
caucuscd upon it-caucused upon pro-
position to establish equality between
citizen and citizen at the ballot box;
and upon their heads, therefore, as par.
ty, (if the bill should be defeated) will
the withering judgment Of the people
fail.
1t will be seen by the following from
the same paper Of Dec. sth, that the dc.
cree of,he Wing caucus was adverse to
the will of the people, twice uttered:
"FREE SUFFRAGE DEFEATED 1T
will be seen, by our legislative proceed.
ings of Friday, that on that day the Free
Suffrage bill was defeated in the Sen
ate. This was the work offifteen Feder.
alists, and Of the Speaker of that body,
the Hon. Weldon N. Edwards. The
vote stood thirty three for the bill, and
fifteen against it. The Constitution re-
quired that two thirds Of the whole re
presentation in the Senate should sus
tain the bill in order to pass it; two
thirds of ffty-the whole number o
Senator'S, the Speaker included-is thir
ty four; consequently the Speaker, in de
clining to vote, deliberately defeated tht
bill. If he had voted in the affirmative
the bill would have passed; and so, i
any of these fifteen Feleralists above
mentioned had voted in the affirmative
the bill would have passed, and equali
ty between free white men at the polls
would have become an established fac
in North Carolina.
We have been thus particular in or
der that the people may know, accurate
ly and fully, who are the men who arr
responsible for the rejection of this grea
measure"

6F A young gentleman of this town, says the
Vernon Banner, came near getting his brains
blowed out with broomstick the other day. He
was boarding in private family, in which there
is rather attractive young lady. AS he was
leaving the house after dinner, one day last week,
In passing the window he espied the young lady
sitting in rocking chair. In order to be socia-
BILE, and perhaps to quiz the young lady, he re-
marked to her. "Miss you sleepy-as though
you had lately fallen, or soon will fall into the
hsnds of Morpheus" The young lady, not per-
fectly understanding the meaning of the last
term, took it that it was the name of some young
man; whereupon she told her mother how the
gentleman had lnsulted her, by saying that she
had been Rugged by Mr.. Morpheus. On the re-
turn of the gentleman to his boarding house, the
iandlady attacked him with the usual weapon of a
matron; told him she would give him to under
stand that her daughter was never in the hands of
Morpheus or any other young man, an3notifed
him to leave the premises sans ceremorsie. And
the offending individual accordingly sought out
another boarding house. Good for him. Served
him right. He had no business thus to insult ar
sstsgiqens young lady.

MISCELLANEOUS.
So Much for perseveri,ng.

The following account of the pursuit of part
ner, under difficulties, is related by Sou,hey as
being literally true It pointedly illustrates the
advantages of perseVering;
ga gentleman being in want of wife, adver-
tised for one, and at the time and place appoin-
ted was met by lady. Their stations in life en-
titled them to be SO called, and the gentleman as
we'll as the ladywas in earnest. He however un-
luckily, seemed to be of the same opinion as
King Pedro was with regard to his wife, Queen
Mary of Arrogon, that she was not as handsome
as she might be good, and their meeting ended in
their mutual disappointment. He advertised a
second time, appointing different square for the
place of meeting, and varying the words of the
advertisement. He met the same lady-they
recognized each other-could not choose but
smile at the recognition, and perhaps neither Of
them could choose but sigh. You will anticipate
the event. The persevering bachelor tried his
lot third time in the newspapers, and at the
third place ofappointment met the equally perse-
yering spinster. At this meeting neither could
help laughing: They began to converse in good
humor, and the conversation became SO agreeable
on both sides, and the circumstance appeared SO
remarkable, that this third interview led to the
marriage, and the marriage proved happy one.
