John @ Whittier on the Death of DR.. Bailey.
The National Era publishes a feeling
tribute TO the memory of the late DR..
Bailey, from the pen of John G. Whit
tier. We copy the following passages:
"The deathnf Dr.. Bailey will be wide
~ felt az public calamity. He was one
of those men who mould and shape the
age in which they live. To no one is the
cause Of Freedom and Progress, as EN-.
bodied in the Republican Party, more in
debted than to him. Clear sighted, warm
hearted, generous to a fault, frank in the
avowal of his opinions-earnest without
fanaticism, bold without temerity, uncom-
promising yet courteous and charitable, a
gentleman always, never stopping to per-
sonal invective or controversy-he has
been emphaticaily the man for his place
aud time His views were broad and
statesmanlike-he could not wear the
badge of mere partisan-and he held
himself ready always TO censure his po-
litical friends when, in his view, they
were in the wrong, and to commend his
opponents whenever they took step in
SuC ulIcCllpu. 4NVuC Oub llOoO W LO
knew him we'll. aud understood his social
and genial nature, and his strong love Of
appreciation, could estimate how much it
cost bin to maintain, under circumstances
to which a weaker man would have yield
ed as to destiny, his perfect loyalty to
truth. What most impressed Us, in our
intercourse with him. was the total ab-
sence Of all cant, cavil or sub;erfuge-the
transparent honesty and christian manli
ness of his character.
In that dark period, when his press, in
Cincinnati, was twice destroyed by mobs,
and in the perilous excitement which at
Washington followed the capture of the
Pearl with its~cargo Of fugitive slaves,
his courage never faltered. With every
thing he loved in life at stake, he disre-
garded alike the menaces Of enemies and
the persuasion of friends, and refused to
make any concession or apology, and,
strong in his conscious integrity, challenged
the closest scrutiny Of his words aud ac
tons The future historian of the Anti
Slavery movement will find few nobler
pictures for his canvass than that of the
slight figure Of the Anti. Slavery editor,
alone with his family, unarmed and un-
supported in the heart of a slaveholding
city, calmly confronting an armed and ex-
cited multitude, declaring his determine
ton to live and die free man, and to
speak and write his sentiments freely and
fully, subject only to the laws of his
country and closing with an appeal, at
once touching and manly, TO the better
nature of his opponents, until threats
changed to cheers, and the really gener-
GUS but misguided populace pressed to-
wards him, not to mal.reat or in:imidate,
but to shake the hand of brave and
honest man.

The Gold

The arrival Of the Express on Wednes-
Gay night, and the cheering intelligence
-As detailed in our issus Of Yesterday
which it brought in, would seem to re-
move the last doubt that might have been
entertained of the extent and richness OF
the new gold fields. Letters from cor
respondents, whose veracity no one can
question, and the sight of the gold it.
self, make it sheer folly to longer disbe-
lieve.
We had the pleasure, yesterday, Of
handling about $4,000 worth of the pre-
cious 'ore,' at the Banking House OF
Smoot, Russell & Co. We predict that
when sufficient coin shall have been
shipped to the mines, an immense amount
of the mineral will he forthcoming; for
it is said that over $4,000 worth could
have been purchased when the Express
left.-Leav. HeruH

Tho Rich, of Expolia:ion.

Our telegraphic dispatches of yester-
day, from Washington, gives the result
of this application, in the following:
1.-THE Constitution of this morning
contains copy of the dispatch. from the
State department recently sent to our
minister at Berlin, on the subject Of nat
uralization. The case is that of natur-
allied citizen of the United States, who
is native of Hanover, and when he left
his native country was neither in actual
service in the Hanovrian army, nor had
been drafted to serve in it, but upon his
return to Hanover, had been deprived of
his liberty, and compelled to perform mil
itary service.
The President and Cabinet concur in the
views expressed, taking the ground that
the moment foreigner becomes natural
lied his allegiance to his native country is
severed; he is no more responsible for
anything he may say or do, or admit to
say or do after assuming this character,
then if he had been born in the u s.
Should he return to his native country he
returns as an American citizen and in no
other character.
In order to entitle bis original govern
ment to punish him for an offense, this
must have been committed while he was
subject and owed allegiance to that gov
erument; the offense must have been
complete before his repatriation, and it
must have been of such character that
he might have been tried and punished
for it the moment of his departure. Our
minister is instructed to demand the re-
lease OF the naturalized citizen in ques-
ton.
Here then, is all their froth and fury
dissipated almost before it had been
raised. and the doctrine of the Kostza let.
ter fully and firmly maintained.

U, 5. District Court. Third JuiIaial Di.,ric

This Tribunal, Hon. Jos. Williams, of
the Supreme Court, presiding, recently
closed a session Of some two weeks, at
this place. Grand and petit juries were
in attendance, and very large number
of witnesses, from Lykins and Linn eoun-
ties, were called before the Grand Jury.
It is understood they were called to
testify in relation to .respasses upon the
Head Rights of the Miami Indians. A
large namber of bills Of Indictment were
returned by that body during their term,
and much the larger proportion Of them
are supposed to be for depredaiions on
those lands-Fort SOFT Democrat.

Celebration Of the Fourth al Teenmseh, K. T.
Mr.. EDITOR We had glorious cele-
bration at Tecumseh on the 4th inst. Un-
der direction Of the gallant DR.. Anderson,
Marshal of the day, the citizens of Te-
cumseh marched to Copeland Spring, one
mile east of the city, where the exercises
took place. Tho crowd assembled, and
were seated. Ex.Mayor Clements was
called to the chair, E. D. Smith appoint
ed Secretary, and Committee appointed
to arrange the order of exercises.
/ The following is programme of the
proceedings:
Reading of John Adams speech, BY
Ex- Mayor Clements, Of Tecumseh, for
merly of Indiana.
| Toast-Memory Of JOIN A1am,, drank
in silence.)
Reading of the "Declaration of Indepen-
dence," by Col. Banks, formerly of Ala
bama.
Toast-Ow Country. Answered by
Ilir Bashman,a young Shawnee chief.
Tcast-Or Country. Answered by
Mr.. Van Cleave, formerly of New jersey.
Toas,-Ihe Onion Answered by James
NJ. Newsom, formerly Of Lebanon, Tenn
Toast Oregon. Answered by j. S.
Ridley.
Ex-Mayor Clements introduced the ex-
ercises with feeling and eloquent remarks.
The Declaration was read by Col Banks,
all Englishman By birth. It was elocu-
tionized in beautiful manner. He is a
whole souled fellow, and true American
now, as he has ever been in sentiment.
The toasts were appropriately answered
by the several gentlemen mentioned
above. Mr.. Eastman, in strong meas
ured manner, indicative of the deep feel
ing that pervades his people in speaking
on public occasions, entertained the as
semblage. Mr.. Van Cleave, of New Jer-
sey, made sensible speech on the cor
rupticn of parties, after replying to his
toast. Jas. NJ Newsom, formerly Of Lsb-
anon, Tenn, delivered chaste address
upon the Union. It breathed patriotic
spirit, and, for his maiden effort, was very
creditable indeed.
A star was then tackled to the banner,
which hung over the rostrum, and the
State Of Oregon" was drank in tumultu-
GUS applause.
j. S. Ridley replied to this in deep
and feeling speech. 1t was the speech Of
the day, full Of fervid eloquence and
thrilling climax. L. moved the patriotic
tear, and excited the crowd to the great
est enthusiasm.
The company adjourned after this to
the dinner table, which was enliven ed by
the smiles of beauty, and the especial wit
and humor of Mr.. Cormucheal and Ser
geant Herrin. At night the court house
was illuminated, and the beauty and
chivalry chased the GLOWING hours with
flying feet" till the grey streaks in the
east advised dispersion for home.
An elegant supper was prepared by the
Misses Campbell for the occasion.
The Fourth was glorious day for Te
cumseb. Every heart was a patriotic al
tar, and every throb was for Liberty aud
our Union. The. Marshal and President
deserve much credit for the manner il
which they discharged their duties.
We do not know what will make u;
rejoice so much again, except it be the
location of the capitol of Kansas at TIE.
