The Bachelors of Delaware.

In the town of Smyrna, in the State of Della
ware, there exists a society known by the name,
style and title of Progressive Bachelors"-
The gentlemen who compose it had meeting
recently, and, after reviewing the salIs-
Tics of matrImony, determined to call State
Convention of Bachelors, to be held in Smyrna,
on the 22d of February, at which they purpose
"to consider the important topics incident to
Bachelor lIte," and do various other things, we
presume, such smoke segars, drunk cham-
pagne, play uchre, aud have high old time"
generally.
BY the way, though we have never linked
our destiny to femlnInily, we cannot clearly
comprehend what - meant by the term " Pro
greSSiUe BacheIorS." Do the Smyrna trater-
nIty intend 10 progress 10 the state OF malrI
mOny, persevere in well.doIng, or simply go
1t while they're young!" Another queer thing
~. that they invite the ladies to attend their
Convention. We should like to know what
business crinoine has in such company

Admission of Oregon,

Oregon was admitted into the Union by the
House OF Representatives on Saturday, by a
vote OF ia TO l03. The bill to admit her had
previously passed the Senate.
The event was celebrated Saturday night BY
large concourse of citizens, who, with the
Marine Band, serenaded the distinguished
friends of the measure, including General Lane,
the Representative elect, Senator Green. and
Representatives Nichols, Scott, Stephens,
Letcher, Thayer, Comins, Stevenson and Orr,
nearly all of whom delivered brief speeches eu-
ogistic of the political event.
The President. in response to repeated calls,
appeared at window of the White House. He
sincerely congratulated them upon tie advent
Of another sovereign State into the glorious con
federacy of Republics, State too, situated on
the very shores of the Pacific, favored with
fine climate, and an exuberant soil, and filled
with tried and noble Democrats. Expansion
was in future the policy of our country, and
towards alone feared aud opposed it. Thank
ing them for the honor paid him, the President
concluded by calling for Yankee Doodle, which
was performed by the band. Vice. President
Breckenridge. in another part of the city, de-
clared that whenever he could, he had given
the bill push. and expected next monday to
swear in both Senators. Having been called
upon to say something about Cuba, he remarked
that we talked too much and did too little
When England wished 10 do thing she did il
and talked afterwards. lfthe island of Cuba,
instead Of being placed at the mouth of the
Guifo Mexico, laid at the opening of the Eng.
lish channel, England would take il in ten days.
He was in favor of the acquisition of Cuba. He
would not rob Tor it, but would act with any
portion of his fellow citizens in using sll honor
able means to acquire it.

SENT TO JA1L.-Two negro men, "Bill'
and " Sam " JohnsCn, father aud son, living
two miles from Smyrna, on the road leading to
Raymond's Neck, were committed to Dover
Jail on Wednesday last, for resisting officers OF
the law.
1t appears that Sam Johnson is the owner of
house and several acres of land, and farms it
IN small way. Sam as is customary with
men OF his standing, goes very extensively on
the credit system-makeS large store-bill aud
enjoys The luxury of a horse and carriage-
Being unable TO meet the pressing demands
upon his purse, the constable was instructed to
go through the forms of law, and sell his pro.
perty, which was done on the day above iRdica
ted; but at the conclusion of the sale, Sam and
his father exasperated at the sacrifice of their
property (hOrse and carriage which cost $l75.
with all the other property outside, grain. fod-
der, farming Utensils, &c, selling for $50, and
all inside the house for 20 cents,) forbid it's re.
moval at the peril Of the purchasers The lat
ter then left the premises, and in due course OF
time returned with their forces augmented to
Sir. but the darkes" Give in number, inclu-
ding two women,) were still unrelaxing and
the seizure Of the property was the signal for
a most desperate battle, old Bill striking The
first blow. In the melee, clubs, panhandes,
chairs, axes, aud every other available thing,
were used with tremendous power; many were
the bruises received on that occasion, and it is |
= thousa nd wonders that all escaped with their
lives. After a while the negroes were over
powered, Bill aud Sam were secured (he rest
escaping) and brought before Esquire Eaton,
who committed them, as above.

| TIE WILMINGTON REPUBLICAN administers
to US severe rebuke because we said the deni-
zens of the Metropolis ought " not to ask for
too much at once," in reference to making
Wilmington the Capital Of the Stste," and
Representation according to Population
The maxim we propounded to the Republican
is very safe one we think, and so thought old
-Esop, in whose Fables the editor of the Re-
publican will find fine illustration of his case
in the narration Of the dog which was cross
ing stream of wafer with "hunk " of meat
IN his mouth; the avaricious animal, not con.
tent with enough, jumped at the piece of meat
reflected with his own shadow, and lost all.
We suppose the Editor wants 10 make VIII.
mington to Delaware what Paris is to France.
And since the cry has been raised we find Mil
ford putting in her plea for the capitol with as
much plausibiity as the MetropOLitans. For
our part, we want it to remain just where it is
Smyrna does not desire it, and considers
herself fortunate in escaping from it &c years
ago. The whole idea, however. is preposter-
Gus. The position of the Editor reminds US OF
the school boy game Of" ee-ssw"-New Cas-
tie county having the long end of the lever and
holding Kent and Sussex entirely in its power,
tossing them about at will and " cutting butter"
with them TO their utmost satisfaction. How
ever, after ALL we are not certain that it would
not be serving them Sussex fyllers" about
right TO cut butter with them awhile upon
