Northern Route to the Pacific.

We take pleasure in being able to lay
the following important letter before our
readers. We can now look upon the Sc
lection of the Northern Route as being
almost fixed fact"
Extract of letter to Hon. J. u. Doty
(received at Menasha ON the 10Th inst. J
from Governor Stevens, dated:
OLYMPIA. Washington Territory,
December, 5, 1858. !
You may rest assured that we have the
facts to establish the probability of the
Route passed over by US. Two good pass
es have been found in each of the noun
tain ranges. and there will probably be
three or four in the Rocky Mountains.
Puget Sound is a most magnificent body
of water. of inexhalstible resources in its
Lumber and its Fisheries, and destined to
be at an early period commanding point
on the Western Coast
Il have sent running Reports to the
Secretary of War from time to time; and
by this mail one of some length. Our
survey, however, has taken so wide a
range, that the Railroad Report cannot be
got in at an early period of the session, |
shall work steadily at it, and give it at the
earliest practicable period. s--lHenashd

words they would utter in the ears Of
their owners! The lawyer takes fee to
equivocate-thati is. lie-place him on the
bench and he refuses it as bribe--though
the work and the principle are just the
same. But there is parlor door and a
kitchen door; certain things ought to be
in the house, only they won't come in
through the right door. Thus it is wrong
to bring lies to the door for truth. Take
them to the other. and all is right The
true Christian is he to whom what is right
In the sanctuary, is right everywhere else.
The lecturer concluded by cautioning
youth against supposing, from anything
said, that character is useless. The dis
secting room is not the place to see the
beauty of the frame. A character form
ed according to the scheme of love and
beneyolence, and Gods Word will, more
than any other, give peace of mind, and
even material prosperity. But Il charac-
ter takes time to form it. Who sows to-
night, to reap tomorrow, must sow mush-
rooms. The oak is a growth of ages
The lecturer was frequently applauded.

Canada Postage---Canada Freedom.

The Post Master General of Canada
has modified the Postal Rates of these
Provinces, to take effect on the first of
February, 1854. as follows:
All newspapers and periodicals that are
exclusively devoted TO Education. Tempe
rance Science, Agriculture, and Instruc-
ton. are to pass through the mails entire
ly free from postal charges.
The postage charge on Canadian news
papers will hereafter be,
Daily, per year, 81 GO
Tri-W Weekly. = so
SemiWeekly, g " 53
Weekly, 2GJ
In all cases these rates are to be paid quar-
terly in advance. The same rates are to
apply to papers published in the United
States, and addressed to subscribers in
Canada. Transient papers sent from the
Office of publication are charged half
penny. which is fraction less than our
own rates. Magazines and other period
icals published monthly. not weing more
than one ounce, to be charged Ga cents
per annum;--OYer one and not exceeding
two ounces, 20 cents and when over
three ounces. 40 cents.
The Chicago Tribune in commenting
upon this and the condition of Canada.
says:
Our citizens have been accustomed to
look upon the Canadians as Stor people,
but we think this idea will soon be dispel-
led.-There is more freedom of speech
there than in the United States. and eve
ry man, whatever may be his creed or CO.
Tor, occupies common equality before
the law. There, the principles of Demo
cracy are more fully carried out than
here, and while this condition of things
shall exist a comparison between Canada
and the Cniteu States cannot result favor
ably to us.

Martin Koszta is now engaged in learn

have volunteered to assist him and as
soon as qualified, he will probably be-

the capital his new business requires.
He is one of the few " distinguished indi-
