tives, present the following report on the
bill asking for admission of Oregon into
the Union:
BY section 3d, article 4th, of the Consti-
tuition it is provided that ".New States
may be admitted by Congress into the
Uaion." The time the mode, and man.
ner Of admission is therefore left by the
Constitution wholly to the discretion OF
Congress. In the exercise thereof States
have been admitted, some with and some
without previous act of Congress author
izins the people of the Territory to form
constitution and State government
The Territories of the Union have been
thus transformed into States without uni
formity in the mode and manner of pro-
csdure, and without any uniform rule as to
the number of population--the whole SUBJ
Jecs Of the propriety of admission having
been left at the discretion of Congress at
the time of the application of the proposed
State.
The two Houses OF Congress, however.
at their last session declared in | heir action
on the application for the admission of
Kansas as State. that its then existing
population was sufficient for its immediate
admission into the Union as a slope State.
bat if its people were unwilling to come
into the Union, with such a constitution.
then they were authorized to elect delegates
to form a constitution and State Govern

admission. whenever, and not before, it is
ascertained by census duly and legally
taken that the population of said Terrific
ry equals or exceeds a ratio of representa-
ton required for member of the House of
Representatives OF the Congress of the
United States" That restriction upon the
alton OF Kansas received the approval of
the President, and is law on the statute
book to-day.
The President. not. satisfied with his
official approval of the act At the time of
its passage, takes occasion. in. discussing
the Kansas question in his annual message

The Literary Banquet.

The annual season is nearly upon US in
our State, when the literary festivals arc to
be participated in by those who have theleisure
and the taste to enjoy them. From the Uni
yersity to the less pretentious Institute or
Seminary, the note of preparation is heard,
and soon the young and the old, the bellies
and the beaux, will be gathering from all
quarters to pay their homage at the shrine
of learning, or at least this will be the osten-
sible object. Whether the cause of sound
education is much promoted by the rapid IN
crease of these festivals, may be doubted, but
there are real benefits enough connected with
and growing out of them, which justify their
multiplication and render them a profit
They are fit seasons for the renewal of old
friendships, and the kindly interchange of re.
fined sentiments, which enlarge our acquain
lance of men and things and relieve us from
the tedium of business and the monotony o
home. But the greatest benefit is doubles
from the influence they exert upon the mass
es in favor of education, and the rapidly in
creasing interest which is every year NOR
and more manifested in the education Of tn
children In all classes. A few derive niue
pleasure rom the display of literary and ora
torieal ability, but the most decided advantag
is seen in the increased number of student
which flock to our institutions, after a SUI
cessful commencement.
The present season is one of the most prom
Using which our State has witnessed. III
arrangements every where are upon the Ia
gest and most promising scale, and perha
a larger number of persons will be attendan
at them, than ever before.

Mr.. Germans Lecture,

M. German, Esq, was a chaste and elegant pro-
ducton, ard exceedingly edif1i ing TO all who
heard 1t. We were sorry that the audience was
not larger, as it would indicate a want Of interest
on the part Of our citizens in the Trustworthy OBJ
jects of our Association but it afforded Us pleas.
ure to recognize among those who did attend quite
a number Of our young men.-Role'gA Register.
We quote the above for the purpose Of call
ing the attention Of our citizens, and espe-
cially our young men, to the Association re-
ferred to, with the hope Of e~niisting a great
er interest than has heretofore been NANTES
ted in its behalf There can be no doubt as
to the good influences such Associations are
calculated to exert, particularly upon the
young men Of the nation, when they receive
the sympathy and cooperation Of the older
portion of the community. And especially
IS such IN Association needed with us,
where the young men have so few facilities
for promoting mutual religious and moral
Improvement. There are places enough for
mblbing wicked principles, and INDUCING in
vicious Practises, but no place where the
young men may meet for mental and moral
improvement. This Association is, then, a
desideratum in Raleigh, and we hope viii re-
ceive the fostering encouragement and aid of
all our good citizens. The Associatior has

Go Speak to that Young Man"

IL we could get access to the ear of every
young man in this broad land, we would be
glad to say a word of kindness to him.
There is a power for good in the young men
Of the nation, which must be Overwhelming
If it be timely and wisely directed. Already,
they are in q great measure controlling the
destinies Of the country, giving edge to the
tone and temper of society, and soon will be
the chief actors in all that affects the veal or
woe OF our degenerate race.
How important then is il, that our young
men should be well trained, Intellectually,
physically, and morally. How absolutely
important that they should have sound heads
and sound hearts; that purity of principle,
purity Of purpose, and purity Of life, should
predominant in them and over them. With
out this, what hope can be INDUCED for them
in the futureP
And yet how apparently powerless over
many Of them, is the great moral machinery
set and kept inmotion, in this country. How
many ofthem are ruined Just on the ebb tide
of life1 How many are there not yet ar
rived at the maturity Of manhood, who have
been debauched and overcome by intemper-
ance, inhdelity and the fun flood of vicious
habit and practice.
In most OF these cases, the first step down.
ward commenced in the indulgence of the
social glass. But for that fatal step, honor
and usefulness might have crowned their
lives, but 6lasl they tasted, and then rushed
on to brutal indulgence.
Now, this is so, in nine. cases out often
Young men dare not tamper with Alcohol, in
this day. To taste it, is to love 1t and swill
IL to their ruin. We have little hopefo for any
young man who INDUCES in it at all. He
may see his error and abandon it before long,
but there are a thousand chances to one
against it, so delusive, so potent is the power
of Alcohol upon young men nowadays.
What then is to be done2 1t is from tn,
effort to save the young men from intemper
'ance, that the most hopeful and bright har
vest is to be. reaped by the friends Of humani
ty. Totthis class especially, should all tenn
