Remarks Of Mr.. Everett on Passing Events.
Hon. Edward Everett, on the occasion of deliv-
ering his address on Washington, at Taunton, Mas
sachusetts, on Friday, after abiding to the pleas
ure with which he must always dwell on the theme,
continued as follows:
"But with the satisfaction which feel in adj
dressing you at this time are mingled profound
anxiety aRd grief A sadness which strive In
vain to repress overwhelmns me at the occurrences
Of the past week, and serious apprehension forces
itself upon my mind that events are even now in
train, with an impulse too mighty to be resisted,
which will cause my beloved country to shed tears
of blood through al her borders for generations
yet to come. Civil war, with all its horrid train
Of pilIage, re, and slaughter, is carried with
out the slightest provocation against the infant
settlements of our brethren on the frontiers of the
Union.
"The worse than civil war raging for months
unrebuked at the Capitol has at length, with
lawless violence of which know no parallel in the
annals Of constitutional government, stained the
floor Of the Senate chamber with the blood Of
defenceless man, and he a Senator from Massa-
chusetts. 4a
"Oh my friends, these are events which, for
the good name, peace, and safety of the country,
it were well worth all the gold of California to blot
from the record. They sicken the heart of the
patriot of the good citizen Of the Christian they
awaken gloomy doubt whether the tolls, sacri-
fees, and sufferings Of fathers for the sake of
founding higher, purer and freer civilization in
this Western continent than the world had yet
seen have not been in vain.
"For myself, they fill me with sorrow too deep
for tears. am not ashamed of weakness, for /
sorrow not for myself Ny few remaining years are
running too rapidly to close to allow me to attach
much Importance to anything this side of the
grave which concernsme individually; but sorrow,
far beyond the power Of words to express, for the
objects of affection which leave behind--for my
children and my country. And God is my wit
ness that if by laying down my poor life this hour,
could undo what has been done within the last
two years, beginning with the disastrous repeal of
the Missouri Compromise, would willingly, cheer
fully make the sacrifice.
ibid not think there is healing charm in the
name of w ashington, that attachment and yenera-
ton of his character almost the only remaining
kindly sentiment which pervades the whole coun-
try and that in the contemplation Of that chaiac-
ter there is spirit Of wisdom to guide and love, to
soothe and unite, would even now throw myself
upon your indulgence to excuse me from the duty
of this evening"

MANUFACTURE OF GREAT MEN.-When Anne
Boleyn was in prison, awaiting her sentence OF
death, she wrote to her husband and executioner--
Your highness hath pleased to raise me first
from the condition Of a gentlewoman to that of a
maid OF honor from that OF maid of honor to
be a marchioness; from marchioness to a queen;
and as your power could no farther go to elevate
me on earth, you now design to raise me to be a
saint in heaven"
Some OF our contemporaries appear to be pursu-
ing similar plan with regard to Mayor Wood.
They made him Mayor, by abusing him. When
he was Mayor, if they lad let him alone, he
might have passed ont of notice; but they con-
tinued to abuse him, high aud low till the people
re.elected him. Re, elected, and Mayor once
more, it might have been expected that Mr.Wood
would have escaped their attentions, at least for
time but no, these journals continue to abuse
him, and he consequently continues to rise in
public favor. They may say what they like
about his private character and political deln-
quencies there is no question but be is the
most efficient chief magistrate that we have had
for twenty years These journals and these per-
sons bave only to keep on abusing Mayor Wood
Systematically for few weeks or months, and
they will infallibly make him great man and
the chief OF his party in this State.

cousin Paris Peccard, but he mad no cousin by that
name. Parol proof was taken, specifyingfAst Prin-
celia Peccard was the party designated in the will,
and that the deceased had always addressed said

decided that the parol testimony should be admitted,
and ordered the bequest to be complied with ac-

The ST. Johns Grand Lodge met last night to hear
the report of committee to confer with the Grand
Lodge of the State of New York with view to a
union of Free Masons, now unhapply divided. The
committee reported that they we're unfortunate in
their negotiation and no terms they deemed honor
able had been proposed so the sired union is
again postponed.
The Board OF Ten Governors met yesterday, and
a report OF their doings win be found elsewhere.
The dispute with the Emigration Com missioners was
again upon the tapis, and Mr.. Draper formally de-
MED that the Governors had attempted to postpone
the action Of the legal authorities in the suit now
pending between the two Boards, as alleged by the
Commissioners. The snit is for s7s000 for the care

KANSAS LAND SPECULAT0Rs.--POor Pierce
having played out bis game Of rufianism in Kan
sas and the republicans having made the best Of
it that could be made in the way of political CAPT
tai, we are now discovering where the balance
of power lies in Kansas, as between pro-slavery
and no slavery. 1t lies with the land spectators,
and the issue of free labor or slave labor will be
controlled by the land question. If black slave
labor will make the lands of Kansas more valuable
than free white labor, then we may safely con-
clude that Kansas will become slave State; but
if rice re1.a then she will become free State, for
the land spectators will look to their interest,
1t is very certain, too, that lands in Kansas as
free State will be worth two or three times as
much as they would command in a slave State; for
while manufactures, villages, mill seats and town
sites follow the movements of a free white popu-
iation, the labors of a slaveholding community
are limitedp pretty much to the plantation. When
Governor Reeder was sent out to Kansas, he
went out to make money in Kansas land opera
TONS and he knew his policy and pursued it. 1t
was to make Kansas free State. Poor Pierce,
however, had the Cincinnati Convention to look
after, and Reeder will eventually forgive him.
At all events, Kansas, as far as the North is con-
cerned, may be safely left to the Monroe doctrine
and the land SPECTATORS.

Our Cry RAILROADS AND THE SSow.-Now

In fair weather there can be no Just complaint
to the management Of the city lines Of railroad,
except indeed that on some OF them there sholl |
be larger number Of cara. But in winter we
too often zee the public convenience disregarded,
and that no extra ciotts are made to a2comm1-
