Eicilcns District.

The Walalla Banner is satisfied in the be-
lief that the people Of pickcns District are
nearly unanimous for division Of the District
1t SAYS -
They arc more than willing, even anxious,
to have two Judicial Districts, if not anxious
also for IN election division By the late APP
poiutmcnt of Representatives it is known that
pickcns has gained one Representative, max
inc her number four This is an additional
reason for division; for it indicates an increase
of population, her vast extent territory, would
seem to call for di;ision. But, we will not
argue this point ut home, where it is already
thrcad-barc, but let our men in office at the
Capitol, see that it is heard there, while we at
home may memorabilia the General Assembly

AS if in confirmation of this trte adage we note the
fact that tho Rereread DANIEL WORTH, whose arrest
has been mentioned in our already was perfectly
able to secure without trouble bail to the amount Of
5000 for his futurS good ncr the haldesl
.;au yenunciation Oh slavery from The
sed desks6f our sister Statc-North Carolina-that
aouid baYe been hurled at institution by the
dscity OF tho most fanatic Aboltonist North of the
dividing line of the two sections This gentleman has
not only declared his utter contempt for the laws of
North Carolina but has sgmatized her legislators with
tho foul epithets of drunkards, gamblers, and adu
terers.r
1t is somewhat ine1plicable that le should be able
to retain friends strong enough to back him in bail to
this amount, among the very people whose laws and
legislators he has been boldly dcouncihg and whose
institutions he has endeavocd to subver through the
circulation OF the infamous Helpers book and other
unfrendly prints. 1t is novel devotion to the true
interests of the South which backs up tle bold and
daring perpetrators Of such outrageous acts of pre-
sumption and may very reasonably excite the doubts
Of the sensitive advocates Of vigilance to the good
faith of those who lend their signatures thereto.

wasI,insto,, Hryins,s CeEibacy.

The Boston Transcript, in discussing the
celibacy of Washington Irving says:
sInstead of being defect the ccibacy of
Irving vas his crown ofglory. Those who have
studied lis writings must have been struck with
the remarkable transition from humor topathos,
from the broadcst fun to the most medtative
sentiment which occurs between the facetious
history of New York and the Sketch Book.
Many, perhaps, imagine that this is accounted
for by his loss of fortune. But the feeling is
too soulful for such an Interpretation. 1t had
its origin in one of those disappointmcnts of
the heart which color all the subsequent life of
a true man. We trust that now there is no
want of dcicacy in alluding to the fact that
the carly object of Irving's love died during
their bctrotha We have heard thcla inter
view described by member of her family, and
to the sacred sorrow thus cngendcred is to be
ascribcd much that is touching and true in the
sentiment of Irving's writings; to his fcaty to
this Affection in no small degree, is owing the
continued scnsibility which kept his heart fresh
to the last; and, above ALL that respect for, and
sympathy with, the innate and holy sentiments
Of humanity, which hc SO uniformly cherished
and manifested in letters and in life.
"Nor is this all. Time may have healed the
wound and rcconciled the bercft to another re-
lation; but there interviewed period Of disas-
ter which drove his eldest brother to bankrupt
cv; for his sake and that of bis family of
daughters Washington Irving continued single,
took them all home, and became father to the
children. Beautiful WAS their mutual devotion; !;
happy their congenial household and Sunny
side is now bcqucathcd to them.
"No one familiar with Mr.. Irving, associated
the idea of celibacy with him; he was always
in domestic atmosphere; his nieces wcre'like
daughters; his fair neighbors his favoritc COM
panions, children the delight of his heart. With
such free and fond affections he could, under
no circumstances, lead the life Of single man,
as the phrase is usually understood. lie was
domesticatcd in families abroad he was the
.endeared centre of one at lIomc and one of
the most beautiful aspects of his life, as well as
ono of the most honorable, is that selected as
exceptional, after the hippant habit 0" those
who'i 'ignorantly condemn what they have nci-
ther the justice to examine, nor the refinement
of soul to conjecture may be an evidence Of the
highest love and the most heroic selEden!al."

Having its Effect.

If we are to credit the newspaper accounts which
reach from various portions of the North partcu-
arly from New York. it appears that the limited nom
intercourse now being practiced on the part Of the
South is already having very perceptble effect upon
the mercantile and other interests Of that section
Great depression is said to exist in almost every branch
Of mechanical art, and many prominent firms in the
various merchandise departments Of trade, who have
hitherto done their best paying patronage With the
South have been compelled to curtai their expenses
in the discharge of squads Of clerks, who suppose
will have rather difficult task to any
tive employment among that class who have contrbu-
ted SO much in developing this deplorabe state O. a
fairs
If the Very limited extent to which this practice OF
nonntercourse has reached is already productive Of
such calantes to Northern interests what is to be
pected when it shall have embraced the South as a
whole. and instead Of becoming exception shall be
regarded the rule and system OF general observance
The effect will then be truly ptable in the eyes Of
humanity. We shrink from the contemplation Of such
an event as that of a comparatively happy people
forcing such terrible fate upon themselves through
the qualification of fanatic hate to an institution
which has given such indirect stimulus to their pros
perity, as has that Of slavery to the North.
While our feelings Of humanity might rccoil with a
shudder of horror at the gloomy tales Of want which
would laden every account that from the North,
upon the full Inauguration of this policy by the South
yet conceptions Of the justice Of their punishment
would prompt us to ezhort the Southern people to
spare not until every bone and muscle of the whole
organism of our enemies has felt the shock.

REWARDS OF GENIrs,--lt affords lis pleasure
to record the fact that both Stephenson and
Brunel-the recently deceased cnginecrs-had
obtained considerable fortunes, and that they
were not, like many other eminent men of by,
gone days, suffered TO live in poverty. 1t is
related of Brunei that he was worth 100000
-four hundred and thirty-six thousand five hun-
drcd dollars, and that Stcphcnson's personal
estate amounted to 100000 (one million nine
hundred and forty thousand dolars) 1t is said
of Stephenson that he was of a very kind and
generous disposition, and that all his old work,
men were devoted to him with the deepest af
fcction lie left 10000 to the Newcastle H.
frmary, $1,000 to the Philosophical Society,
$4,000 to the Mining College, $4,000 to the
Institute of Civil Engineers, $4,000 to the Cur
atc's Society, and like amount to the Socic-
ty for promoting Christian knowledge. The
greatest amount he has left to a cousin. He
has gone. down to the grave, the last of his
race.

arose aud denied the position assumed, with a
sensible statement of facts. The learned pro.
fcssor shifted ground little, and claimed that
he could substantiate his doctrine by, among
other sources, the teachings of ''the celebrated
ReUieao of Mr.. DeBow, the Richmond Enquirer
few years ago, the Charleston Mercury, the
Richmond Examiner, the book published by
Mr.. Fitzhu Oh, which was commended to the
people of the South, &C." Then Mr. Clay, Of
Alabama, took issue with the Northwestern
savan. and, in a few remarks, challenged him
to the proof. lie informed him it was "very
grave accusation" and he demanded the evi-
dencc, not by garbled extracts, but with the
context.
Mr.. Brown, of Mississippi, also rcbcllcd a
gainst the allegation but the Wisconsin phi
losopber still tried to force down the dose, when
Mr.. Chcsnut obtained the floor, and in brief
speech, which covered the case entirely, ex-
pounded the Carolinian idea of free labor and
African slavery. Professor Doolttlc then read
from the Richmond Examiner to vindicatc his
course. Mr.. Clay interposcd, and gave. an
Alabamian opinion upon the subject. The
would-be Mr. Dooconsidcrable searched his
authorities and read the Richmond Enquirer
in evidence Mr.. Mason, of Virginia, felt it
lis duty to dissent and antagonize the ethical
man. He gave him the Virginian notion of
free labor and slavery. Finally, the Wiscon-
sin Senator backed out from the position by
saying in substance, that he thanked the
Honorable Senators that they had conceded
"the same opinions are not to-day entertained
ON the subject Of slavery, as an abstract ques-
ton, among the leading men of the South,
which were entertained for the first fifty years
of the existence of this Government under the
Constitution OF the United States" No one
denied change of opinion upon the subject
of African slavery from causes which the Sen
ator from Virginia concisely expressed, but
sin endcavorcd to charge upon the South.
Mr.. Mason's language was this
Certainly, believe that because Of the ag.
gressions committed by the servle States,
commonly called the free States, upon the
condition of African bondage in the South,
the mind of the South has been moro turned
toward it, and by reason of that further con-
sdcration, more delibcration, pondering more
deeply upon the relations sub>istimg between
the African race in this country and thcwhite
race, the opinion once entertained, certainly in
my owu State by able and distinguished men
and patriots, that the condition of African slave
ry was one more to be deplored than to be
fostered, has undergone change, and that
the uniforn-I might almost say universal
sentiment in my own State upon the subject of
African bondage is, that it is a blessing to
both races, one to be encouraged, cherished,
and fostcrcd and to that extent the opinion of
Virginia is different from the opinion enter
tanned by those distinguished men who have
now gone, but who we believe, best knowing
the sentiment, if they lived in this day would
concur with us. That is the present opinion.

MORE KANSAS OurRAGEs.-A correspondent

BY two inhabitants of West Point, Mo-, MIR
Bell reached the house of Mr.. Taylor, about
four miles from Qssawatomic where they put
up for the night.-Soon after the house was
surrounded by band of forty men, who oblig,

then divcstcd Of arms, ovcrcoats, hats, boots
&c. which were divided among the crowd, and
the negro was brought forward to confront
them with mockcry and laughter. Thcil
horses were then taken from the stable, apd
after compelling them to give the negro fifty
dollars, the fugitive was mounted on the best
horse and started for Canada. The cores

No Risf.t to Endorse.

A cotcmporary thinks sthc following worth
the serious consideration of our business men.
l. A man has no right to endorse when the
failure Of the first party to meet bis obligation
will render the creditors ofthc cndorser liable
to loss in consequence of such endorsement.
2. lie has no right to endorse for another
man unless lie make provision for meeting such
Obligations.
8. He has no right to endorse unless he full
ly Intends to pay What he promises to- prompt
YIN case the first party fails to do so. Few
endorscrs prepare to do this.

he shall not obligate himself to oblige another,

6. A man has no more right to expect ano

Charles O'Corn0r ON Slavery.

Among the lawyers of New York, nc one
occupies a position more cnviablc ii IAN that OF
Charles OConnor, ESQ. lie made ai speech at

which We extract the following, as a sample OF
tlc.gcncral quality
81 maintain that negro slavery is ,pot unjust;
that it is benign in its influences, beth on the
white man and on the black. | maintain that
it is ordained bv nature that it is 4 necessity
Of both races: that in the climates where the
black race can live and prosper, nat 5're herself
cnloins co-reative duties on the bl;i ick lnan--
and the whitc-whicA cannot be performed
eyccpt bv the preservation, and, if tpe Kissing
gentlemen please, by the pcrpetuation OF negro
slavery.
II contend that it IS not injustice to leave
the ncplo in the condition in which nature
placed him, and for which condition he is ad-
aptcd Fitted only for state of puPllage, our
slave system gives him master to govern and
supply his deficiencies; and in this there Is no
injustice. Neither is it injustice in she master
to compel lin to labor, and thereby afford to
that master just compensation in return for
the care ard talent employed in governing
him. In this way alone is the negro able to
render himself useful to himself and to the So
cicty in which he is placed.
'Ihcsc arc the principles, gentlemen, which
the extreme measures OF Aboitionisrl and its
abcttors compel lis to enforce. This is the
ground that we must take, or abandon our
cherished Union. We must no logger favor
political leaders who talk about sa'cry being
an evil nor must VIC advance tht doctrine
tina. negro slavery is a thing which, although
pcrnicious, is to tolerated mcrc Y because VIC
have made bargain to tolerate it. We must
turn away from the teachings of iaratlcl'n.-
