At last, this long-cNpectsdw work, which has.

thence Of The Biblical scho ars Of Europe and
America, has made It's appearance. The Vat
lean Testiment-the Queen Of MSS, 10 inspect

no longer a sealed book, an unknown volume.
Here are its whole contents given 10 the world,

goodly price az which The work is published.
As the title page announces, The Ms. is edited
by Cardinal MAJ, 70 whose laborious industry
We are indebtedfor many other valuable works.
Although but recently published, il has been
long known that this edition Of the Greek
Scriptures has been printed some years. The
Cardinal showed Tischendorf the whole five
volumes ready for publication, IN 1913. And
from the work itself We learn that il waspnnt-
ed 50 far back as the year 1888. Various rea-
sons have been suggested 70 explain this unac-
countable delay. DR.. Tregelles saws that when
Rome was in the hands Of The Republican Cow
eminent, and he authoIity Of the Pope could
20 longer hinder the appearance Of useful
works, Cardinal Mai oferld the impression for
sale 10 Mr.. Ashner, the Publisher az Berlin
but the terms named by the Cardinal were
deemed too high and thus the negotiation
came 90 nothing.

THE ADMISSION on oREGoN--THE REPREsENIA4
TIVE RATIO. IN

II is with some surprise we hear Of opposition 70
the admission Of Oregon from democratic members.
The reason given, understand u.s. that the prin
eiples of the English Bill requiring representative
population, should be applied to the case Of Oregon
This is clearly wrong, and the argument is in a
nutshell. itts
Heretofore this rule las never been applied to any
Territory but at the last session. when both Ore
gon and Kansas applied for admission without such
population, the point made. In the Kansas bill
il was provided that if Kansas accepted the propo
stion of Congress, she should be admitted, without
regard to the question of population. WhyH Be
cause, in that event, she should not be required to
go through the preliminary steps of organization
preparatory to admission But if she rejected the
propositions Congress- she should wait until she had
acquired the due population. Why Because then
she would be in the condition of all other territories
which had not already formed their constitutions and
would properly come under the new rule which it
was thus proposed to adopt for the future admission
of new States. In the of Oregon, there was no
necessity for further action on the part of her people,
and hence her admission without reference to popu
lation but the application 10 her of the rule
which had been laid down for Kansas
Let us test it. If Kansas had accepted the propo-
stion of Congress and in State, without the
representative population, would il not have been
the greatest wrong to have rejected Oregon ?
No one would have thought of voting against the adj
mission Of Congress for that if Kansas had thus
acted.
To reject Oregon now, because Kansas refused to
accept the proposition of Congress- is to make her
admission dependent not upon the action of her own
people, upon the judgment of Congress, bm upon
he act and vote Of the people Of Kansas. This is SO
manifesty unjust that we feel sure no democrat will
carry ii out who gives the subject mature reflection.
Let present other view. If Oregon is
refused admission for this reason, she will be
the only Territory that ever has or will be,
refused rfho,a notice In the of Florida and
other Territories which have been admitted without
representative population, such rule has been
enforced. In the case of Kansas, Nebraska, and
all others hereaflerapplyng notice is given to their
people in advance not to apply until they have
representative population. Not SO, however, with
Oregon. Her constitution had been formed her
people had gone through with all the formalities,
expense, and trouble of preparing for admission
State, and new rule is to be put upon her with
ont notice. The injustice is apparent that feel
confident our appeal to the democracy in Congress
a step-child of Oregon.

CONNECTICUT DEMOCRATIC CONTENTION

The Democratic State Convention which met at Mid
tletown, Connecticut, "Wednesday last. distin-
gushed for zeal and harmony Each town." says the
Nee Hoea Register chad sent up its reliable and
among them many of the odd line who seem to have
acquired new animation from the occasion and the im
porance of tn pending struggle From first to last the
convention moved us by common impulse, and in
its proceedings in its conclusions there was not dis
sentient voice.
Hon. w w. Eaton, of Hartford elected president
ofthe convention and the ticket of last year unan
mousy renominated, with the exception OF Mr. Wins
low for lieutenant in place Of Hon j. c. Smith
who is minister to Bolivia viz James T. Pratt of
Rocky HILL for governor Richard H. Winslow of West
port, for lieutenant governor; f. Williams, of Stonng-
ton for secretary of State Daniel b Warner of Had
dam for treasurer; and Pcleg C. Child of Woodstock
for comptroller.
Among the resolutions passed, which manly in
tone and unmstakable in sentiment, the following
Reso1red That have the highest confidence in the
ability, integrity, and patriotism Of the present Chief
Executive of nation and that his efforts in promo
ting the peace and prosperity of the countryin obtain
ing from Great Britain the REIMBURSEMENT of the claim
which she has heretofore maintained of searching Amer
Jean vessels upon the high seasn protecting the rights
OF American citizens upon foreign soil, and in executing
the laws against the African slave trade merit the
ton and approval of all national and patriotic
Rsopd That adhere to the long established policy
oil the democratic party IN regard 10 the coiecon OF rev
for the support of the government aud in accord
with that policy do declare that il is the duty of
Congress regulate the existing tariff to furnish
amount of money sufficient with its other receipts TO de-
fray the necessary expenses of the government and pro-
vide sinking fund for the gradual extinction of the pub
lie debt and Mt the tim, by proper discrimination
afford equ, encouragement to all the great industrial
pursuits of the nation.
Resolved That the possession by this government of the
island of Cuba necessary for the proper defence and
protection of great aud rapidly increasing
ca interests that its acquisition would not only greatly
benefit the manufacturing business of Connecticut and
enhance the agricultural mechanical, and commercial
interests OF the whole country but would pat end TO
the importation Of slaves from Africa who find their
market on her shores and that humanity and interest
therefore impose upon the general government the duty
of obtaining possession of Cuba whenever be done
consistently with national honor and Justice.

From tho Baltimore Sun OF February IL
Messrs. Editors / find in the morning papers sketch
OF the remarks made yesterday by Mr. Morrison Har-
ris in his place member of Congress So far these
remarks related 10 the selection of site for post office
in Baltimore the cost &C. they wholly without oun
datiun and Mr.. Harris has less intelligence than his
place calls for if he did not know them TO be So
The post Office property was purchased in almost d
Iapidated condition. some seven years ago at cost of
500, 600 portion was sold to the government and
the whole money received from that sale expended
the property The for five years also so
expended and by these expenditures and careful manage
ment the property made TO yield annual revenue
of SIS 600 An of 1870 shares of the stock-the
whole capital consisting of 1000 shares-was then
bought out at the rate of hundred and twenty seven
thousand dollars for the whole. Looking at the then
rental and the prospective value of the property no owner
would have sold for less than 5000 600 the price paid
by the government
As to the allegations that nine tenh of the citizens
opposed to the site, the records of the department
show that there opposition from any quarter save
from those Who like Mr.. Harris, anxious to sell
other property for the purpose.
In truth, the whole remarks of Mr. Harris SO far as
Published nothing but revival and Testating of rep
jns which ma lie TO the late President prior
