The Blessings of Poverty.

We do not know the author Of these culogistic
sentiments. but venture the assertion that at the
time Of writing them he did not feel the pinching
hand of poverty. There is truth in them Ger
tainly. and it is well expressed but those who
feel the grip of poverty will never regard them as
anything but cant
Poverty is the nurse Of manly energy and
heaven climbing thoughts attended by love- and
faith, and hope, around whose steps the mountain
breczes blow, and from whose conntenancc all the
virtues gather strength. Look around you upon
the distinguished men that in every department
of life guide and control the times, and inquire
what was their origin, and what were their early
fortunes We're they, as general rule rocked
and dandled in the lap Of wealth? No. Such
men emerge from the homes of decent compc-
tence or struggling poverty. Necessity sharpens
their faculties, and privaton and sacrifice brace
their moral nature. They learn the great art Of
cnunciaton. and enjoy the happiness of having
few wants. They know nothing of Indifference or
safety. There is not an idle fibre in their frames.
They put the vigor of rcsoute purpose in every
act. The edge Of their mind is always kept sharp.
In the school of life, men like these meet the
softly J-nurtured dazzlngs of prosperity as the
vessel of iron does the vessel Of porcelain

THE MOUNTAIN PREss.--A late number Of the
Sacramento Age pays the following compliment
to the mountain press:
Every here and there through the mountains.
We find weekly papers conducted by men whose
places we would have some misgving in trying
to fll. They are the makers of opinion they
have II In their power to poison the streams of
thought that flow out from the country. Let one
of them write an Article of extraordinary beau

been written here, or in great city, amid the
rivalry of men of letters it might have passed
unnoticed until some man Of taste, perhaps a
thousand miles off, had rescued it from unmertcd
forgetfulnes.
We do not believe mountain editors realize the
advantages Of their positions Surrounded by a
people OF intelligence, such as is not found IN
any other State, they sit in watch-towers on the
hill-tops, whence single musical note is herald
ed all over the Union. If their papers arc good
Thousands read them, borrow and lend them. and
then send them to the Atlantic States, where
people wonder that such language should come
from the cliffs and SHOWS of the Sierras and the
name of the writer, who, perhaps, is restless in
his fancied Obscurity. is familiar in thousand
places that he never dreams of.
Life to our mountain friends Ordain them
prosperity and contentment, while they sigualize

slavery i'm Oregon.

In discussing tie Slavery question in Oregon,
tie Jacksonville Seatinel, a strong pro-Slayery
paper, makes the following admissions in re gaId
TO the unftness of Oregon for Slavery. The Ses1tg
tinel contends for Slavery upon the ground that
It will give the Slaveholding States the balance
power in the I. S. Senate
Now, the question of expediency and policy is,
no doubt, matter that will govern many in their
votes upon this subject. The effect of slavery,
morally, is also an important ingredient in the
discussion, and but little is said about the ulti-
mate result of the principle, and its effect on the
Government OF the United States.
And again
Let US admit that slave labor cannot be profit
sbly employed in Oregon that it is cold eli
mate that the products of the soil will not justify
such labor that Oregon is surrounded by non
slaveholding Territories that it would be impol-
itc TO allow slaves within the limits ST the future
State of Oregon. We say, suppose those ques-
t.ons govern the people and Oregon is admitted
IS non-slaveholdiug State, is that all We
think not. The principle is Of more importance
than all those matters of policy and expediency
