Although a good many people in Ore
gon may not know the fact, there used to
live in the State a clerieo-politico old
hypocrite and demagogue named Ilender-
son, and a year or 80 ago, for want of any
better use TO put him to, the Abolition
Conference which assembled Mt Albany
under the dictation OF the Rev. \. II.
Pearne, nominated him for Congress, and
his party elected him. Henderson is
there. To show that he does try to do
something we some time ago mentioned
the fact that he introduced a bill making
known the extraordinary discovery on his
part that Treason is u crime against the
Government" We viii do him the JUS
tice to say a review of nearly his whole
life would warrant the conclusion, either
that he was never before aware that
" treason Is n crime" or, hat he preferred
crime in that line to honesty or patriotism
But what we started to do in this case was
to give another evidence of the iaet that
Henderson is still there. At least he was
some time ago, when he introduced the
following, as We learn he did from the
Washington Chronicle:
Mr.. Henderson. of Oregon, offered a serie,
of resolutions. declaring that the Constitu.
ton and the Government were ordained and
established by the people. aud not lay States
IN their individual character therefore, the
doctrine of State rights strike at the %founda-

can, by Constitution or law, serede or with.
draw from the Union. BY such efforts they
destroy all their rights aud privileges, aud

Ought, under such rules and regulations rs
Congress may prescribe, he set apart 10 the
use of the coiered people of the United
States. The welfare Of both races demands
that the eolored people should I've set apart
from the whites. The resolutions were com.
mittei to the Committee ON reconstruction

colony Is significant. Does Dickey intend

Puritan Philanthropy.

The peculiar philanthropy of the Pnri.

curious comment, because of that most
remarkable feature of it-that It never is
allied with charity or generosity, ON the
part Of the philanthropists themselves,
but is praetiecd entirely upon the begged.

others. As a fair Illustration Of thi.
Puritan philanthropy we copy the follow.

MEDICAL CIRCULAR.

Every Physician located in the country or a
small village, and engaged in the practice of his
profession, has moro or less frequently found the
successful treatment of chronic diseases difficult, II
not impossible, owing to the absence of many ia

in the cities and larger towns.
The undersigned has for this reason made ar
Judgements for the treatment of this class of cases
by which patients can have the benefit of all the
appliances known to the profession.

THE PEOPLE PAY IT.-The rich fac
tory owners of New England make a profit
of one dollar on every pound of raw
cotton they manufacture. They are ena-
bled to do this under the operation of the
high tariff imposed on imported cotton
goods BY the Abolition Congress. With
a tariff similar to any ever made under
Democratic Administrations, these I'M
mense profits would not be secured to the
rich cotton factory lords Of New England.
They make the money. The poor, who
have to buy and wear cotton goods, pay
these great profits; upon them is the
burden of the tariff thrown. There will
be no new and just tariff until Democrats
again succeed to power.

No SrAMr.-l'he Boston Traveller tells
this story "a keen vitted mercInnt, who

solieitous friends by yielding 10 them aud

horror they saw no change in his ways, and
reproyed and demonstrated as in duty bound.
lie defended his honor, aud TO wipe of all
stain, produced the document which he had
signed, aud showed TINT il was invalid, as Il
wns without an internal revenue stamp"
That was about a fair specimen of real
Puritan honor. None but an innate
scoundrel would ever Ind made so con
temptible a plea to exculmte himself
from a broken pledge. lie gave bis
word he pledged himself but, because
the paper had no stamp, he counted his
word and pledge worthless So they
were-so would his oath be.
