M ORIGINAL POEM By JOHN QUINCY
ADAMS.

JoxN QumcY ADAMS was, upon tho whole, one Of
- most accomplished public characters we have ever had
n SAs United States. In many pespecs doubtless Mr.
Everett may be regarded his equal, but Mr. Everett
b by no means comparable with Mr. Adams for many
dednes, for univefsaIty. Both Of these eminent men
ranked among American poets and it would be
difficult to say which Of the two exhibits the best claims
70 poesca disnction. Mr.. Adams however, surpassed
his youthful friend In the number and variety Of his
aythmic and lyrical competitions and apparently in the
easy huency with which they were thrown off, Indeed,
hr. Adams appears to have written in verse about
readily as in prose.
Among the published poems of Mr. Adams we do not
semember any more pleasing, refecting in a more
agreeable light his character than the following which
vss addressed to his wife, on her birthday from Wash
Dgton, in the winter of 1907 and has before ap
pssred in print We copy it from bis autograph pre-

A Treaty has been made with Japan
The wedge has been entered, which will
not fail to open that empire to the ultimate
free residence, egress and ingress Of Amer
leans, and probably of all other CONNER
cial nations. Commodore Perry has proved
himself skilful diplomatist. and additional
distinction has been earned for the Amer
lean name and nation.
Had we time or space, we might enlarge
upon the probable effects of this important
measure-its influence upon the commerce
of the Pacific upon the Atlantic and Pa
ci6c Railroad upon the line of trans-Pa-
ci6c steamers touching at these Islands,
&C., &c. But we must close for the pres
ent moment, merely with the expression OF
the belief that in all these particulars, the
opening of Japan by Com. Perry will &C.

possibly prove the only additional spur that
was needed to put them all in motion.
One important feature of the news by
this arrival is, that if Russia and the Allied
powers sciH go to war they must fight it
out, independent of any interference from
his highness King Kamshameha, of the
HawaiianIslands. And it is to be hoped too,
weak as he is, the belligerents will relig-

The following is his proclamat ton
Be it known, to all whom it may concern,
that We, amehameha I'LL, King of the Ha-
waiian Islands, hereby proclaim our entire.Neu-
trallty IN the War now impending between the
Great Maritime Powers of Europe that Our

INDIAN VALLEY.-A correspondent oil
the -Nountatn Messenger, over the sigma
ture Of "Seth," thus writes of this beauti-
ful valley:
This beautiful and productive valley lies
to the northward of the American valley,
at distance Of about twelve miles, and
is separated from it by high range OF
mountains, which, though not so abrupt
and precipitous as often occur in Califor-
MIA, will still give the traveller good idea
of mountain trail. The main valley
seems to he some fifteen miles in length
by one to two in width, with strip of tule
land running through the middle, and IA
vines, sloughs, or water courses running
transversely through its whole length and
breadth. The land now occupied for farm
ing purposes runs from either side of the
valley back to the tules, which in all cases
insures soil adapted to the cultivation of
grain and vegetables, as we'll as hay and
pasturage. The principal stream running
through it is branch of Feather River, a
clear and beautiful sream, abounding in
fish and water fowls. | am told that by
removing the drift wood which has accu-
nulated in the stream at the lower end of
the valley, the tules might be drained Of
their surplus water, and the richest part of
the valley be thus reclaimed for cultiva-
ton.
The climate is delightful, being above
the reach of" sirocco" blasts from the val
ley of the Sacramento, and below the ST.
berian influences which reign on the noun
tains above. | was informed by Judge
Ward, that several hundred acres Of wheat
have been sown, and that the n.r.ooScc;2.;,, ,e.

y on.all sides of the valley, and a saw mill
is in contemplation. MIR. Taylor, one of
the oldest residents of the valley, states
that he has prospected extensively in that
region, and finds gold in greater or less
quantities in the ravines leading down
from the surrounding mountains. [ found
miners at work upon ore Of the lift!e creeks,
who were making good wages. AS yet,
beth the agricultural and mining interests
of that region are in infancy, but it is hop
ed that the present year will do much to
develop both. Several families have set
tied in the valley.

Veto Of President P,erce--In commenting
upon the late unexpected veto of President
Pierce, the New York Herald says:
Here, then, we shall have another remarkable
exemplifcation of the beautiful fexibility oil
our federal constitution. 1t is unconstitutional
to appropriate money out of the general treas.
ury for internal improvements, although it is
constitutional to appropriate public lands to
Western railroads. But while Congress have
not the power to grant the ready cash for such
enterprises within our own territories. II seems
that the President, "by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate" may take anv amounf
OF money from the treasury for the purchase ot
the right OF way for speculatipg railroad com
panies IN a foreign country. This is ..wbin.
ping the devil round the stump" with a ven.
geance. That the constitution of the United
States ever contemplated, or that its trainers
ever dreamed of such thing as the purchase Of
railroad rights of way in Mexico, for the benc-
tit of certain gangs Of private spcculators is
utterly preposterous.
Yet so it is. 1t is unconstitutional TO relieve
the poor lunatics of the country, by donation
of the public lands to the various asylums in
which they may have found refuge but it is
perfectly constitutional to vote away the public
domain, by millions upon millions of acres. for
Western railroad jobbers. 1t is unconststu-
tianal to vote money out of the Treasury for
clearing away the obstructions, for example, in
the Hudson at Albany but t is perfectly le. e.
gltimate to appropriate ten, fifteen, twenty or
even fifty millions, if need be, for the PURPOSE
OF railroad routes for plundering spectators
outside OF the limits of the United States. -
Such are the constructions of the constitution
under the auspices this hybrid free soil and
secession administration Their stock iobbing
and spoils-seeking affiliations, and their excuses
and false pretcnces, based upon the innocent
constitution, are alike iuiquitous and detestable

Female loveliness never appears to SO good
advantage as when set off with simplicity of
dress. No artist ever decks his angels with
towering feathers and gaudy jewelry and our
dear human angels, if they would make good
their title to the name, should carefully avoid
ornaments, which properly belong to squaws
and African princes. Thee linselries may serve
to give effect on the stage or upon the ball

the chief of the party that if the Indians
were indolent and neglectful of their du-

stroyed. The Diggers therefore behaved
we'll the first day, but on the following for
got their promise and went off on ffollc.
About II o'clock the sun began to be OBJ,
scured, as threatened by their master, and
through smoked glass which had been
thoughtfully provided, it was discovered
that the God of day was indeed being blot
ted. This excited both their astonishment
and alarm, and determined them forthwith
to return to duty, in the hope that the an
