JouS PHOENIX UPON GEORGE WASHINGTON
From an Grafton reputed to have been delivered
Mt Fort Vancouver, w. T., on the Fourth of Jul
ly, 1855, by 'John Phoenix, G. $, D., Sergeant
Major SD Regiment Oregon Territory Light
Mules, I'VE extract the following:
Although, for the time in which he lived,
very distinguished man, the ignorance of WASH
ington is something perfectly incredible. He
never travelled on n steamboat, never rail-
road, or a locomotive engine; was perfectly ig-
snorant of the principles OF the magnetic tele-s
graph; never had daguerreotype, Colts pistol,
Sharps rife or used a friction match. He eat
his meals with an iron fork, never used postage
stamps on his letters, and knew nothing of the
application chloroforin to alleviate suffering or
the use of gas for Illumination. Such man as
this could hardly be elected President of the
United States in these lines, although it must
be confessed, we occasionally have a candidate
who proves not much better informed about
matters in general. ssist ssp

nit of Mount Vernon, in the year 5S6, leaving
behind him name that will endure forever, If
posterity persistin calling their children after

Mr. SuMSEa's Cash. the Boston Medical

read before the Boston Society for Medical I'M
proycment in regard to Mr. summers case, by
his physician, DIR. II. S. Perry, of this city
He gives clear and distinct history of the case,
medically, and concludes rs follows:

using the muscles of the lower extremities, but
after walking short time they become flexible

DEATH OF DOCTOR HCSEN---by inc ARRIVAL OF
the City of Baltimore, we had intelligence of
thedeath ofthe celebrated Pussy, one ofthe
most famous theological writer's of the present
century. Tie was the originator OF the Angli-
can or Puseyite party in the Church of England,
and though his carly associate, DIR. Newman,
aud vast number of his disciples, have gone
over TO Catholicism, DIR. Pusey remained in the
English Church. 1t is little more than twenty
years since he first created an excitement in the
theological world by the publication of the Ok
ford Tracts, in which his great learning rnd sub
tie powers of reasoning were employed to sus-
tain theory of Church worship based upon
the Apostolieal succession, and attributing an
efficacy to the ritual of the Church of England
equal to TINT claimed by the Church Rome On:
account of the publication of the Tracts, he was
suspended from the duties of a preacher for four
years He was man of great learning and I'M
questioned piety, and filed the Office of Regius
Professor ofHebrew at Oxford, and was Canon
OF Christ Church. He always protested against
his name being used to designate the party of
which he was the acknowledged head.
MonE OF Party DEsroTIsM-The St. Louis
Democrat notices border ruffian attempt to
crush out free political opinion in St Louis, like
that we mentioned as having occurred in Phila-
their merchants opposed to the fire.eating slave
~ extensionists, with the design to ruin their
business. But the last move of the despots lisa
threat to cut off St Louis from her usual sup
ply of legislative fayors, because she elected
Blair to Congress- and sent so many Benton
to the legislature. The Democrat does not
believe that a majority can be obtained in favor
of this proposed piece of despotism, but says:
If however, the border rufian spirit of the
Leader should infect any considerable portion
of the Legislature, st. Louis could not be Sub
du ID" She is too strong and too proudly reli-
ant to be crushed by border ruffianism. Any
tyrannical legislation would hut strengthen her
the more in her opinions. In modern times,
freedom has made her dwelling in the cities,
whittier she has removed from the mountains,
and she has found the streets safer than the lof-
TEST peaks. If the Legislature should try to
make st. Louis the Cinderella of the counties,
she would need no fairy to exalt her to gran
denr, as long as the Mississippi flows by; and
whatever might be her fate, she would never
give up the keys to the slavery cxtensionists-
This is settled and political or legislative ac-
ton can reverse it; and, therefore, people must
reconcile themselves to it as they best may
Commerce and free labor will rule St Louis for
the future

The summer breeze blew softly
On Massachusetts Bay,
And the gray rocks of old Nahant,
Bathed in the sunshine, lay.
But not to view that beauty
Stood men upon yon height,
Nor to inhale those breezes
Watch they from morn to night.
For meath yon lurid curtain
Two gallant frigates see;
Guns thunder, sabrcs glitter,
And blood flows fasi and free.
There does the hero, Lawrence,
With his last feeting sighs,
Make his last words historic
Don't give up the ship !"-and dies.
Now westward turn your vision
The prairie sod lies bare
Where yonder cabins loom in
The thin and wintry air;
There few bold New -Englanders
Are mastering for the fray
Whose issue seals the coming fate
OF millions from, this day.
From all her widespread borders
Missouri sends her bands,
To dedicate to Slavery
These fair and fertile lands.
With fire and sword they threaten
"GIyE Up YOUR ARMS, Oh DIE!"
CONE, THEN, AND TAKE TuEM!" eoolly
The Lawrence men reply.
And while the starry banner
Shall DER broad ocean wave,
The dying words of Lawrence
Shs brayer make the brave;
And in the war with Slavery,
Whose end no man can sec,
Those gallant words at Lawrence
Shall animate the free.

tions of free State.
But, said Mr.. H., this is not all. Not
only is doubt sought to be cast over
their republicanism. but you coldly say,
through the gentleman from Portland,
that "we have great deal of business
of our own to do, and when that is ac-
complished, it will be time enough to
give our attention to other Statss.'' That
is. after you have got your party machin-
cry to run smoothly-after the spoils have
all been fairly divided between the con-
tending factions, as per agreement-after
you have done up all your sixpenny leg
islation, such as fixing the bounty on
crows, wolves and wild cats, you will

a republican constitution or not He
asked if it was possible that such cold
repulse was an index to the opinions of a
majority here-if such was the only word
of cheer, all the sympathy they had to
offer to our friends in that intensely
interesting and doubtful struggle. Men
from New England are bearing, and
have borne their full share in that long
and dubious contest to secure freedom
to all who tread the soil of Kansas.
Maine has contributed her share of noble
spirits to the victory or the sacrifice, and,
said he, perhaps there are those present
who have friends and relatives, bone Of
their bone, and flesh of their flesh, among
that chiyalrous band, who rushed from
hamlet, plain and valley, to the rescue of
beleagured Lawrence. While those men
are carrying their arms by day and
night, and sleeping on them as opportu-
nifty permits, with the smoke of their
burning dwellings blackening the hori-
zon, their murdered brethren lying by the
and drunken crew of Border
Ruffians bowling for more victims, what
feelings of sadness and utter disappoint-

this freezing response to their rearly pray
