it would have been considered evidence O
) insanity forany one to have expressed III

! State. But the latest news from the fal
North. West is, tliatthe Oregon Constition
al Convention met on the 18th August
and that Judge Deadly, pro-slayery man
was elected President of that body by g
decided majority. The vote on the Pres.
+ idency was considered a test, and the result
was, complete triumph of those in favor
of making Oregon slave State. Some
time since this would have been. startling
but as Mr.. Buchanan recently informed us
that slavery exists in all the Territories,
under the constitution, there is no occasion

KANSAS WHAT NExT?- ?-The Free State
men have at last triumphed in popular
J election, by handsome majority They

1t should be borne in mind that a Con-
stitutional Convention is in session, com

NEVER Go THE WHOLE HOG ia fat

and carbonic acid gas, and he who eats it
must notexpect thereby tobuildapa a Sound
physical organism. While it contributes
heat, not the twentieth part is nitrogen
the base of which is MUSCLE
An exchange gives us this paragraph,
which we cordially endorse as being sound
practical truth. Fat pork was never de.
signed for human food. Itis material for
breath, and nothing more : see Liebig, and
other organic chemists and Psychologists
it makes no red meat or muscle, The
prjze-fghter is not allowed to eat it all
that is not consumed by the lungs, re-
mains to clog the body with fat. So says

A SAD BUSINESS, TRuLY.-The Co

cords one the melancholy results of fsending
young men,to the north to be educated.-

school, to.b be educated. After remaining
some years, he took a religious turn-stud-

in the Episcopal Church. AT his fathers
death, which took place sometime after, so

and associates, that itwas with the utmost
difficulty he could be prevented from man

his fathers estate. He now resides alto
gether at the north, aliena ted from the
society, if fnot the affections, Of every mem
