Mr.. Everett on New JERSEY.

AS an Introductory to the address in "The
Life and Character of Washington" given by
Mr. Everett at Newark, last week, he spoke
as follows of the battle fields Of our State, and
the efforts row being made with reference to
a State Monument:

to which we consecrate the hour, without an

with localities, each of which has its traditions

The first stand of Washington in that disas-

on the west bank of the Passac at this place
and IN your immediate neiglborhood. at
Springfield, in 1880, very important engage

mites offered for settlemensinotheY sections,
thereby building up enterprising towns where
now exist mere imaginary ones. That all ma
tons were dependent each upon the other
that the United States wanted the labor Of
England andaEngland wanted that of the U.
'States-FFance wanted England and the Uni
ted States, and they wanted France-Cuba
wanted the United States, and, said the speak
erjokingly, the United States very much
wants Cuba" Whether this is fact we
very much question, and will do the speaker
the credit to say that we also question his
believing it. This, and otker remarks, how
ever, served to show the political feelings of a
small portion of the audience. The editor of the
Democrat, who few moments before very sig
nifcantly turned up the end of his nose at a
remark complimentary to Horace Greeley,
now seemed highly elated on the Cuba question
The lecturer concluded his subject by refer
ing to our religion as being the cause of our
success and prosperity as nation, and as tie
only means of keeping US where we are. AS
long as the Bible is open,7 "Onwardl" is the
watch-word- it, and We are among the
things that were. This portion of the subject
was particularly interesting. "
The lecture was well received by all present
and if the hints thrown out are properly appli
ed, may be of service to many. We are all oil
us too apt to select from such discourses much
that would suit eur neighbours case, entirely
overlooking the fact that it may have teemed
with counsel particularly adapted to our own

Oregon a State.

The House of Representatives on Saturday
passed without amendment, the Senate bill ad
hitting Oregon as State-making the thirty
third State in the Union. The vote stood far

80 Lecompton Democrats. Against The bill,

neutrality-suspicious., 5: Southern Amer-
cans, 8; AntiLecompton Democrats, Q; LIE
compton Democrats, l. Total II. Speaker
Orr did not vote.
The passage of this bill is by no means
creditable to ttose who voted for it, as the
vote shows, and also from the fact that Kan
sas has been refused admission under the pro-
vision of law requiring her to have demon
strated population Of at least SO, $40, before
she can even make application Oregon, it is
we'll known, has much less than that number,
and less than Kansas. At the last election
held in these States, Kansas polled ls,0S8
votes, while Oregon polled fer Governor, but
10, 049 and for congress, 10, los. This is but
one of the hundred arguments against its adj
mission. We may hereafter refer more par
ticularly to the matter.

An Appeal to the Citizens of the
United States.

1t is we'll known to you, that on the 9Th of
April, 1858, a contract was signed between
John A. Washington, proprietor of Mt. Yer
non Ladies' Association, by which the Man
sion and Tomb of Washington, and 200 acres,
are to become the property of the nation.--
The title to be held by the Association, and
the property to be transferred ON the payment
of 100000. All interest on said sum to be
RENTED, should the whole amount be paid on
the ed of February, 1859, the anniversary of
the birth of the Father of his Country.
The assumption by woman, of so vast re-
sponsibility as the collection of the sum, and
the additional sum of $780, 900, necessary for
the repairs improvements and preservation of
the Estate, was hailed With joy, not only by

u.s. JOHN G. Ten EYcK, formerly of this
County, and now residing in Mount Holly, is
spskeD'of as the most probable man to succeed
Hon. WIN. WRIGHT in the U. S. Senate. A
personal knowledge of this gentleman, leads us
to say that, without any exception, we know
of no better choice that could be made. In
point of ability, and as a gentleman, he has few
equals, and would not only be credit, but an
ornament to New Jersey. We hope the re-
port has sufficient foundation to insure his
election,

Two days ago, gentleman of fine bearing
passed through in the stage eastward, who
was called by his fellow passengers Gone of
whom was Mr.. Durant of Iowa City, late OF
New York Lieut.. Boane, who was from
Fort Kearney. Reaching Brooklyn 5 miles
east, for some reason he left the stage, ard at
night jumped out of the window, saying that
said he was not well, but remarked that he
did not care what became of him, if he could
but reach Virginia and see his daughter in
that State. While at the hotel of Mr.. Con-
way, he engaged Mr.. Haws, a merchant, to
convey him to lowe City He professed great,
attachment for his new-made friend and had
placed in his hands sword and loaded
Colts revolver. The revolver be obtained by
some means, and while in the office in the
presence OF several persons, with wild ex-
preston, deliberately fred at Mr. Haws, WHO
fell dead, with single exclamation, 20, my
Godw the ball entering his heart. He hen
pointed to another person in the room, who
was not able to wrest the pistol from him, aud

in at the window, saw Lieut.. Roane, the muir

every good cause, and met his sad fate while
showing kindness to stranger. He leaves
an almost frantic wife. and an infant child
with large circle of devoted friends, in

Misrepresentation!
Caution to the Public :!

OF ALL THE TRICKS RESORTED TO BY THE
~ so-called business men of this day AMI genera
ton, the meanest is Misrepresentation particularly
that species which in order 10 dispose Of
an article ofirferor quality to represent it being
the manufacture of person who enjoys the reputa-
ton of doing goodand substantial work.
Several Stores in Freehold have for some time
past, been in the habit of palming off upon unsus-
pectiLg and confding purchasers trashy article In
the shape Of boots and shoes, by representing them
to be " Emnlons manufacture" In a short time
these persons apply to me to mend this work, and
in almost every instance insist that it shall be done
gratis it not properly made in the first placs.
Upon informing Hem that they are not of our man
ufacture and that we do not hold oursef RESPONSE
BILE for the patchwork of others, they seenrmnch
to ished, and say got them at so and-sos, store,
and was told they made by you, or should not
have bought them,
insert this notice to warn the public against such
representations. l do not, nor have ever, manu-
featured Boots Shoes for the stores, and whenev
they attempt to effect sale by using my name in
connection with the stock they keep, the customer
may rest assured he is being imposed upon.
In conclusion, | would remark that | feel hig "
complimented think that my reputation for doing
good work is such that the Stores have taken advan
tage' of it, and consider the use of my name as cer
tain TO effect sale.
