Our oft repeated maxim that prevention is better than cure, is seldom so eifectually illustrated as in an attack ofthe toothake. It is then that a bitter recollec tion of past neglect pierces the heart with a pang almost as keen as that which afflicts the delicate and sensitive nerve of the injured tooth.

They feel -warranted in saying that their Plow can not be equalled by any Plow cot up in this country, as no one either makes ox has a right to make after this pattern. Said How has for several years past taken the county pre miums at the Agricultural Fairs in this county; and it is conceded by many of our best farmers, that Gaylord’s Plow is superior to any thing of the kind now in use. The materials both of wood and iron of which they are made, are warranted to be of the best quality. It i9 only neces sary to u«e said Plow to become satisfied of the truth of wliat we say. They al<o keep constantly on hand and for sale C ultivators, R oad Scrapers* C auldron** Stoves, Sleigh Shoes, Plow Points for all kinds of Plows in u*e, W agon Boxes, and every other article usually m ade at Furnace*.

All the predictions, made hy the Whigs in 1!!44, in regard to the consequences of the election of of James K. Polfe to the Presidency, have been fulfilled. Whigs prophecied tbe annexation of Texas, with Slavery, and a consequent wav with Mexico. Well, Texas was annexed with its Slavery, and: we are .engaged in a war with Mex ico, which this year will cost over a hundred mill ions of dollars. Whigs prophecied the destruc tion of the Tariit'of ’42, and the substitution of a Tariff that would render the National Treasury bankrupt, and bring ruin upon the great interests of the country, for the, benefit of Great Britain. The Tariff of ’42 has been repealed and w e have a Tariff, (which but for the annexation of Texas we should noj have, for the bill would not 'have passed but for the votes of Texas Senators) that will not yield over eighteen, millions of revenue, whilst the Government expenses are a hundred, millions, and as a direct consequence of which manufacturing establishments of various kinds aU over the country are already ceasing their opera tions, and thousands oflaborers daily discharged, thus reducing the wages of labor and cutting off a market for and reducing the prices of the agri cultural productions of the country. The Whigs too prophecied the re-enactment of the Sub-Trea sury. This odious measure has just passed Con gress. We thus have—thanks to the election of James K. Polk, a war with Mexico, a war upon the Domestic Industry, and a war upon the Currency of the country—and all because Northern dema gogues, doughfaces, have been willing to bargain away to the South, all the great interests of the north, for national official “ spoils” in possession or in expectancy. If such is but the beginning what is to be the end of Polkism ! The Rochester DailygAdvertiser, a day or two since copied a short article from our columns, in which gratification was expressed that the com- mitteein the Convention, on theeleetive franchise, bad made a report in which was recommended the separate submission to the people of the ques tion of negro suffrage. In doing soi the Adverti ser very unjustly insinuates that such recommen dation was opposed to the ground taken by us pre vious to the election, aud with equal unfairness attempts to charge its authorship upon Mr. S ew ard . We know not what that gentleman’s sen timents are on this subject. Iu regard to the oth er intimation, it is only necessary to remark, that our paper has from the first agitation of this ques tion, uniformly advocated such separate submis sion, and has therefore met with no changer The Tariff of 1846—The way it Works ! We stated two or three days ago, that the pro prictors of Vulcan Iron Works, at Troy, had dis charged Iheir hands in consequence of the pas sago of McKay's British Tariff. We find in the Troy Daily Post, the following: Mr. E ditor : You will oblige ;a number of your patrons of both political parties, by inserting in the Post the following proceedings of a meeting held at the Vulcan Iron Works oil the 30 th inst. At a meeting of the Machinists, Millwrights, Blacksmiths, Laborers aud others, employed by the Troy Vulcan Iron Works, held at the Works on the 30th of July, the undersigned ■were appointed a committee to report resolu tions, which were unanimously adopted, viz: Resolved, That we view with feelings of anxi ety and alarm, the effects of the destruction of the present excellent Tariti—a measure under which we have fouud constant employment and at good prices—aud are already made victims to a new measure injurious ulike to every branch of industry iu the country. Resolved, That without reference to our former political principles, we here solemnly pledge ourselves, the one to the other, from this day fur- ward, to oppose the party which advocates or car ries into effect a measure which deprives us of the means of supporliug ourselves aud families. Under the standard of Repeal we fight, until suc cess crowns our efforts. Resolved, That we unite in sympathy with the owners of the Vulcan Works, feeling that they are common sufferers with ourselves hy the repeal of the present Act, and feel bound to acknowledge that it would be impossible for them to carry on the Works iu competition with the pauper labor of England. GENEVA COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT. This anniversary took place Wednesday. The Master’s oration was delivered by E. C. Marshal. The Baccalaureate lo the class was by Rev.

The text of the Oregon treaty was made known at Paris, says the Courrier des-Etats-Uuis, July 14th, and the opinion that the Press had enter tained respecting that diplomatic act, had not been modified ; that is to say, the Prcsse, the Re- forme, and the National, are of the opinion that the most important concessions have been made by England. The last of these journals regrets, however, that the United States have abandoned Vancouver’s Island to England. According to it, it was a great fault, for the reason that when it shall be fortified, it will command the Straits of Fuca and the mouth of the Columbia. The Esprit Public is the only journal which thinks that all the concessions have been made by the United States, and that England has been the greatest gainer by the treaty. As to the Journal des Debats and the Epoque, they have limited themselves to a publication of the provisions, with out the least commentary. This is a proof that the hostility of their first criliqes found no en couragement from the cabinet. J* CIRCUIT, AND OYER AND TERMINER. This Court adjourned on Wednesday, having been in actual session less-than three days. The Calendar was not large, numbering only some IS or 20 oases. All, however, were disposed of by trial, reference, postponement, or otherwise. The Grand Jury, w e understand, fouud several bills of indictment, amongst which was oue against the present Agent of the Prison, for furnishing, or procuring to be furnished for the convicts, un wholesome provisions. There were no criminal causes tried: all, in cluding the indictments against Rathbun and Ca ry, having been sent to the General Sessions. So short a Circuit, after so long a Special Term as that which had just closed, cannot buthe grati fying to citizens generally, but must bo especial ly so at this season of oppressive temperature, to those whose attendance was required by profes sional, official, and other duties. And here we take great pleasure in bearing testimony to the distinguished ability with whieh the learned Judge who presided, discharged his high functions. To learning, astuteness, and promptitude, that command the respect and con fidence of the profession, Judge Parker adds a dignity, courtesy, aud urbanity, tbat win the fa vor and commendation of all. * ft UNSMITHING.

E lias R. P helps , S e c ’y . The papers, particularly the Pennsylvania pa pers teem with comments on the new Tariff and details of its withering and blighting effects. Our limits will not permit us lo copy them ut length. We give, however, an abstract of a portion oi them. The Miner’s Journal, Pottsville, (“ those dig- gins”) the Danville Democrat, aud American Sen- tinel, Harrisburg, were dressed in mourning, at the passage of McKay’s Tariff Bill. The proprietors of several large factories in the District of Moyamensiug, says the Philad. Eagle, have determined to suspend business immediate ly, the effect of which will be to deprive not less than TWO THOUSAND poor men and women of einploymaiit! The price of labor has already been reduced a cent and a half a cent on fabrics. One of our heaviest manufacturers—J . R. Dick son—was compelled on Friday, hy the withering influence of foreign policy upon confidence and credit, to suspend busiuess. This house, we are informed, gave employment lo at least one thou- aud persons, all of which must inevitably be thrown out of work 1 One of our heaviest manufacturers of woollen goods in West Moyamensiug, says the Phil. North American, has stopped his looms. Others have made reduction of a cent and a half a cent ou fab rics, and several have been compelled to discharge bauds. An extensive Iron Manufactory, w e learn, will be obliged to discharge a large number of men to-day. Most of tho manufacturers of cotton goods at Fairmount and other manufacturing districts of Philadelphia, will either have to stop, or make a reduction of from 25 to 50 per cent), ou wages. A new hinge manufactory iu Southwark, we hear, will uot be able to go on. It is reported the Globe Mill in Kensington will discharge one or two hundred hands to-day. The Pottsville Miner’s Journal says that it has already becomocertain that almost all of the works which were projected and were being established must be laid aside at once, or as soon as they can be got into such a state as to render it feasible.— Not only is this sure to happen, but large and ex tensive operations have already been closed, the workmen discharged,and an end put to extensive operations. A large machine shop which was being built, the walls having been completed, wil, be roofed in and all further work on it postponed indefinitely. At the time of writing a black flag ioas hanging from Us malls. Had the Protective system been preserved, a double activity would now have pervaded it. The Danville Democrat says tho* a Rolling mill at Wilkes-Barre will not be put in operation as was contemplated, iff consequence of tbe new Tariff. The Carpet Company at Thompsonville, Conn., says the Springfield Republican, yesterday redu ced the wage3 of their workmen 25 per cent., in view of the eflect which the new Tariff will im mediately have upon their business. Weavers who have received 24 and 24.) cents per yard, will now get but IS for the same work. And all this is but the beginning of the end.— That tbe end may not come, let the watchword he, REPEAL! It is with sincere regret that we learn, as we do from tho following, which we cut from the Pensacola Gazette, of the impaired health of our valued correspondent aad friend, E. Curtis Hine, We hope that his return to the North may elfce. a speedy restoration. The U. S. Frigate Raritan arrived here yester day morniug. This ship took her departure from La Isle Verde on the 17th inst., which island lies just beyond cannon range, from the formidable tortress of Sail Juan do Ulloa, where sho had been employed, together with most of the vessels of tho Home Squadron, in maintaining a strict blockade of the port of Vera Cruz aud shaped her course d'l-ect for this port.

THE VETO MESSAGE. The papers contain this document—it would occupy nearly three of onr columns. Yet we would give it to our readers if it contained any thing new. With a single extraordinary excep tion, it is only a repetition of the reasons given by his predecessors for vetoing similar bills; and if our readers have any desire to study Constitu tional hair-splitting, or Virginia abstractions, we refer them to previous River and Harbor Bill vetoes. The expeption we mentioned, however, is new, and is as follows: If no constitufionol objections existed to the bill, there are others of a serious nature which deservespme cqnsideration. Il appropriates be tween one and tyvo millions of dollars for objects which are of no pressing necessity; and this is proposed at a time when the country is eugaged in a foreign war, and when Congress 3t its pres ent session has authorised a loan or the issue of Treasury Notes, to defray the expenses of the war, to be resotted lo if the “ exigencies of the Government shall require it.” It would seem to be the dictate pf wisdom, under such circum stances, to husband onr means, and not waste them on comparatively unimportant objects, so that we may reduce the loan or issue of Treasury Notes which ma) become necessary to the small est practicable stim. It wonld seem to be wise, too, to abstain from such expenditures with a view to avoid the accumulation of a large public debt, the existence of which would be opposed to the interests of qur people, as well as to the ge nius of our free institutions. Opposed to tbp interests of the beople—to the genius of our frpe institutions, is it? Well, this is rich,—it is bdyond 54-40. Mr. Polk can, in violation of the Constitution, send an army to in vade a foreign territory, provoke an unnecessary war, that is now costing the nation more every week than the whole sum total of the River and Harbor Bill appropriations, and as much per d ly is the amount of such of them as were for im provements within this State,—he can, if the Senate will only permit him, by his reckless and imbecile policy, involve the country in a war with Great Britain that would cost ten times as much per week, or per day, as the Mexican war, de stroy tens of thousands of human lives, aud mil lions of property, and uncivilize aud debauch the people; and all this is right, “ clear and unques tionable right;” this is democratic; this is Loco foco “progress;” this is doing the greatest good to the greatest number; this is “ extending the area of human freedom”—but to appropriate a million and a half dollars for the improvement of Harbors and Rivers in different quarters of the Union, which are national in their nature and U9es, and in order to save the lives and protect the property of the people, encourage, and pro mote the business and commerce of the country i and also to save from decay and destruction struc tures which have already been commenced at an enormous national expense, is not to “ husband our means,” “ is to waste them awunimporlant ob jects ! ”—is to “accumulate a'large pnblicdebtl! ’’ is “opposed to the interests of the People, ” “ to the genius of our free institutions!!! ” Really, Mr. Polk, you must be trying tu crack a prodi gious great joke, or else you must entertain a very exalted opinion of the intelligence of tbe “Amer ican Nationality.” * Correspondence of the Auburn Daily Advertise!. U. S. Steam Frigate Mississippi, ? Vera Cruz, July 9th, 1346. ) Friend Oliphant : An opportunity for sending you a few lines has occurred, and 1 embrace it with no little pleasure. You may perhaps have heard, in fact, I believe I told you, that tbe Ame rican Brig Eugenia had evaded the blockade, and was safely moored under the walls of the Castle of San Juan de Ullio. Well, yesterday the Captain of the s lid barque, having transacted all his business, came boldly out of the harbor, ex pecting to escape by superior sailing, but the Cumberland. Potomac, and Princeton headed him off, put a prize crew on board his vessel and brought her into port, and anchored her in the midst of the squadron, the Commodore, lias, how ever, decided to let her go, and as she is to sail for New York this afternoon, I hasten to improve the opportuui-ty thus aflbrded. The ships of the squadron have all, with the .exception of us, gone about seven miles down the coast, for water, hut the Mexicans getting wind of it, sent a force of some five hundred men. to pre vent the boats lauding. Tho Princeton ran close in, aud opened a heavy fire among the enemy, and they dispersed instanter. This occurred yester day afternoon, and a heavy cannonading was heard again this morning, with what result, we have not yet learned. In haste, E. CURTISS H IN E. From tho Albany Evening Journal. THE RANDOLPH NEGROES. The last Piqua ( O.) Register says: “ These unfortunate creatures have agaiu beeu driven from lands selected for them. As we noticed last week, flu effort, which it was thought would be successful, was made to settle them in shelby Co., but, like the previous attempts ill Mercer, it has failed. They were driven away by threats of vi olence. “ About one-third of them, w e understand, re mained at Sidney, intending to scatter, and find homes wherever they can. The rest of them came down here to-day, (Thursday,) and are now at the wharf iu boats. The present intention is to leave them along, wherever places can he ob tained for them. We presume, therefore, they will all remain in the State, as it is possible they will fiud situations for the whole of them, be tween this and Cincinnati.” “ The intollerant and iuhuman conduct of the citizens of Ohio, is a reproach to human nature. Such barbarity is enough to make man blush for the depravity of liis fellow man. John Randolph, in the spirit of true and liberal philanthropy, not only emancipated his slaves, but provided for their support. An executor went with these peo ple into a free State, to purchase lands from which they were to obtain their future livelihood And yet the benevolent design of their deceased benefactor is defeated by preajudice. proscription, and eveu violence. Shame ! Oh shame ! This inhospitable conduct of the citizens of Ohio will seriously retard the cause of emancipa tion. Ifthe whites will not allow emancipated people of color to live among them, what right have we to rail at slavery ? If communities rise up in rebellion agaiust those who owe their free dom to the magnanimity of their masters, freedom will cease to be a blessing to the poor African. “ But where, during all this time, are the friends of tho slave ? Why do the Abolitionists see more than a hundred poor creatures, with money to purchase laud, driven like wild beasts from the haunts of civilization ? Where is Gerrit Smith, with his tens ot thousands of acres i He might sell them lands. And in this State they would r»ot,_we are quite sure, be exposed to Lynching or riots.” The treatment that the Randolph negroes have received, and are continuing to receive, at the hands of a .Free State, ought to doom Political Abolitionism to utter annihilation—and its dema gogues to an infamy and political damnation as deep as that to which Haunegan cousigned Polk. Hon. Mr. Semple, the independent Senator from Illinois, whom Ritchie and other “ whippers in” pursued to the cars where he had actually taken his seat for home, and by main force almost, took back and compelled to vote for the new Tariff, is, (so says rumor) to be appointed Governor of Ore gon Territory on the arrival of the proper time for making said appontment, which will he after the enactment of the' law for the establishment of a Territorial Government.

Although there is no longer an Oregon qncs tion to interest and excite the public attention, sill there is Oregon, and Oregon to which we now {no thanks to Mr. Polk) have a clear aud unques tionable right,” whose people will more than ev er attract the attention and interest the feelings of tlieir countrymen and fellow ciliscns of the At lantic States. We published some days ago an article made up from several numbers of the Or egon Spectator, full of information—and we have been for some days endeavoring to find room for the two following articles, the latter of which, especially contains in a very small space, a vast deal of valuable information : The Montreal Herat I having received the first five numbers of the Oregon Spectator—the first address of the first Governor of the Oregon ter ritory, a play-bill of the theatre on board H. M. S. Modeste, and a card of invitation from the managers of a “ Washington Ball” at Oregon City, to the gentlemen of the H. B. Company’s service at Fort Vancouvre, after some general remarks, thus discourses (aud we must say in a very libe ral spirit for a Canadian) of the Oregonians : At the very Western extremity of this continent is situated a band of pioneers, who without any of these appliauoes to which we are accustomed to look for aid, are preparing the way for fresh industrial aud social developments, that may one day rival or eclipse any examples we have yet seen of the physical meliorations, produced by well applied energy. The men are yet alive who first explored the . waters of the Columbia, and what was then a waste has now become a civilized territory, ador ned with a city, that has just become the seat of an organized government, and is surrouuded by a country not merely giving employment to the followers of a rude system ot agriculture, but stud ded with mills aud manufactories, for which the rivers of the country supply the power. Add to this, that this last bom ot the cities possesses lite rary nnd scientific institutions, first rate schools, and a journal printed on as good paper and in as good style as any in North America, and surpass ed, in these respects at least, by a very few iu any part of the world, and you have au idea of the enterprise and intelligence of the settlers of the fir West. For all these have been accomplished in the face of difficulties equal to tbose which beset the first colonists of the New World, aud with no other mechanical aids than those which cjuld he conveyed over the weary laud track that separates the colony from the United States, or by the most dangerous voyage—that around Cape Horn—known to modern travelers. It will be generally understood that our re marks apply principally to the Americau territory, the nature of the country in the occupation of our countrymen, and the tenure of theH. B. Compa ny, besides other causes which we need not par ticularize, having hitherto prevented the Oregon from becoming the object of extensive emigration, from Great Britain. In looking over the file of the Spectator w e are no less surprised than pleased to remark its mod eration of tone in reference to the ldte territorial disputes. From all that we have beeu in the habit of hearing from American statesman who claim the especial right to the protection of Ore gonian interests, we should have imagined tho actual dwellers in that country to be a set of wild fire eaters, whose proximity to savage life had made them half savage, and who entertained all that desire for the spread of the area of freedom, and the expulsion ot eveiy thing English from the American continent whicn constituted so large an ingredient in the speeches of Cass aud some other Western M. CV Jnstead of all this, if we are to judge, at least, from the contents of the Spectator, these people are a very quiet, intelligent and public spirited set of fellows, whose men give very good parties ou their national festivals, to which they invite their English friends from Fort-Vancouver, and whoso pretty girls dance at balls with British of ficers on board British ships, and laugh heartily at comedies; enacted by Victoria’s blue jackets, on service iu the Coluihbia river. The only allu sion to any hostile feeling or probable hostile col lision, is ip the address to the Legislature by the very sensible gentleman, whom the Oregonians have done honor to themselves, by choosing for their President, and who thinks it necessary to provide a militia law for the defence of the colo ny, as a precaution against any attack. We give this address in full below, and in the meantime w e may remark that the most exciting question of internal policy in the new settlement appears to be, whether the State should or should not prohibit the manufacture nnd use of ardent spirits. The present state of the law appears to be founded' on that Irnly Republican doctrine, that the individual must submit, his personal lib erty to the w ill of the majority^ and that majori ty having declared that the indi%ddual has no right to judge what he shall eat awl.drink, has attempt ed to suppress the manufacture of ardent spirits by penal enactments. Like all laws, founded on improper principles, however, this one is carried out ilia very lax manner, and while the tee-total- lers are crying out for increased severity and vig- ilonce, the friends of freedom are proclaiming the enactment unconstitutional (!) ana unjust. Mee tings were held by both parties to enforce their own views. The following is irom the St. Louis New Era: O regon . —We have conversed with au intelli gent, practical man, who has just returned from Oregon, in which place he lived nearly a year.— He went from Indiana last year, and is now re- turning to tbat place, with the intention of reino* ving permanently to Oregon. He has travelled over a large portion of that couutry, and has been a close oSserver. He says that the people of Oregon will be very much re joiced to learn that the Oregon question has been settled; that they will object to the relinquish ment of Vancouver’s Island, but will consider it a great object to have the boundary settled; that they do not consider it a matter of great impor tance where the line shall run, but a matter of vast importance to their peace, prosperity, aud safety, that it should be finally adjusted. The emigrants will be-rejoiced when they hear of the Oregon treaty. He represents that there are now about 6,000 sattlers in Oregon, one-fourth of whom are foreigners, or half-breeds, and three fourths American emigrants. The provisional go vernment is well sustained, justice well adminis tered, and the laws properly enforced. The local legislature provides by law that each settler shall have one section or mile square of land, which must be surveyed with the cardinal points, and marked either by natural or artificial land-marks. A description must be recorded, and the settler must either continue on it, or if he leaves it he must pay a tax on his claim of $5 per year for two years ; and if he continue absent more than two years, he forfeits all claim whatever. The people are anxious for the Uuited States to establish a territorial government iu order that they may have greater permanency aud security’, aud also that they may have base and range lines and a regular system of surveys of the public lands. Tne people are industriously making farms and improvements; they now make a con siderable surplus of wheat beyond the wants of the territory; they saw and export much lumber, and sell a considerable quantity of fish. The farmers are getting liue stocks of hogs, horses, sheep and cattle; they trade principally with the Sandwich Islauds, aud get their supplies of merchandise principally from the Hudson Bay Company, who supply them with groceries and merchandise on reasonable terms. The Cush ings of Newburyport, and Governor Abernethy, have stores in Oregon City, bnt their stocks are not heavy. The people need very much farming implements, tools of every kind, castings, hollow ware and household kitchen furniture, aud such thiugs shipped round from the East would be good investments. Tne water power of the country is very fine, aud the people very’ much need additional mills and machinery; they also need carding machines to work up their wool. The climate is mild iu the Wellamette valley—they had uo snow alllast winter, and tbey seldom have liave snow of any depth; aud still immediately east of them are se veral high mouutaiii peaks that are covered with perpetual snow. Tuey cau plough at any time during the winter and wheat may be advantage ously sown at any time from September to April. They raise from 25 to 50 bushels of wheat to the acre. He showed us some shecimeus of Oregon wheat which were unusually fine. The farmers are paying some attention to or chards and nurseries. Under an act of Congress, soma persons have undertaken to make a road across the Cascade mountaius, so as to surmount the greatest difficulty iu_ reaching Oregon. Oue hundred and sixty miles across the Cascade range present more difficulties and perils to the emigrant than the whole distance from the Missuuri to the ocean. The persons alluded to have undertaken to cut a wagon road across this range of mountains on condition that they shall receive five dollars for each wagon that crosses over for two years to come. They engage to have it ready for the em igrants of the present year. Many ol the emi grants last year suffered prodigiously ill attempt ing to cross these mountains. Our intelligent informant thinks thi t Congress ought to make an appropriation without delay to make a good road across the Cascade range in to the Wellamette Valley, and then a wagon can travel conveniently from Missouri to the Pa cific, and the construction of sucii a road at this time is beyond the ability of the emigrants. Ships ascend the Columbia six miles above the mouth ofthe Wellamette to Fort Vaucouver; and twenty miles farther up, the river is interrupted by high perpendicular falls; above that point are several other high falls., and tbe river is only na vigated by birch canoes or light boats that are carried across many portages. Ships ascend the Willamette to within tea miles of Oregon Ci ty, and steamboats may come to that city; and at the city there is a perpendicular fall of 25 feet, whichaffords the finest water power in the world. Above the falls at Oregon City the Wellamette could be navigated by steamboats for 150 miles. The Wellamette valley is very rich and desirable, and contains the principal settlements. There is a settlement on the coast just below the mouth of the Oregon,and one between the Wellamette and the Pacific. A few American settlers have loca- t°d uear Puget’s Sound, and are erecting a saw mill at that point. The country between the Oregon and Puget’s Sound is generally mouutanous, but it lus many fertile valleys, fiue timber aud good water. Pu get’s Sound is said to be the best on the coast, and there is also a good harbor at the mouth of the Columbia. There is a great quantity of Iron ore at Mount Hood in Oregon, and stone coal has been discov ered and worked in the Wellamette Valley about 100 miles above Oregon City. Some of the emi grants are trying to explore a route from Fort Bogy on Lewis river, direct to the upper end of the Wellamette Valley, and if they succeed, it will shorten the route to Oregon -very much. “ MY DAUGHTER! MY DUCATS!” Or anew -way to Stuff Birds. We find in, the Courier des Etats-Unis, the fol lowing anecdote of a. modern Shylock. On the I2th day of last June, some Police Officers, pass ing the Rue Sainte Appoline, perceived an old man annoying the passers by, by begging alms. He was almost naked, and his nude state was a sufficient reason for his arrest as an offender against public decency. He was however, ar rested for mendicity only; aud it is as a vagrant, lhat he to-day appears before the correctional po lice. His name is Dabertin, and he is sixiy-three years of age. When he found himself in the hands of the offi cers, he besought them to conduct him to his dom icil, that he might get, he sa:d, some things of in dispensable necessity. The officers thought he wished to get a shirt, or a pair of pantaloons, or a frock, all of which were nearly wanting in the toilet of the old mendicant. They accompanied hint to his garret. As soon as he entered, Daber tin precipitated himself towards a little closet whieh was unlocked, and trembling, seized a large stuffed bird, grey with dust; pressed it ea gerly beneath his rags, and cried with a loud voice, and a triumphant smile, “ Let us go!” The officers astonished that this man should have shown so much eagerness to carry off the carcass of a bird not worth a sous, conceived sus picions ; they obliged him to put it into their hands, and manifested some surprise, at its unu sual weight. Ou shaking it, they were still more surprised at the metalic sound that it gave. They then opened it, and took out pieces of gold amounting to the sum of 1,760 francs. When the poor devil saw that they were depriving him of bis treasure, he was seized with a veritable access of madness. Turn by turn, he laughed, he wept, he begged the officers to restore his gold, applied to them injurious epithets, threw himself at their feet, and struck them with his fists; but all to no purpose; he had to submit to the sacrifice, and was imprisoned without his dear bird. To-day, at the hearing, the accused, although less exalted, does not the less mourn his “ mo llies." To all the questions put by the President, he answers by other questions about his monies. The President.—“ Have you no profession ?" Accused —“ My bird, my dear sir—my poor bird, what has become of it?” The President.—“ Answer m e! do you plead guilty to the charge of having begged?” Accused.—“ I knew it when it was alive; I loved it as a brother, as a brother, as a son—It is I who stuffed it.” The President,—“ Yes, with gold; whence came the sum which it contained 7” Accused.—They shall give it back to me, shall they not, my dear Mr. President? Y’ou would not have the death of a poor man like me to re proach yourself with 7” The President.—“ How happens it, that, hav ing such a sum, you addict yourself to mendici ty ?” Accused .— “ I will cause masses to be said for the repose of your souls! I will put waxen ta pers at your bier. Will you not make them re store it ?” It is impossible for the President to obtain from the old man, a single word which has not some reference to his money; and the Court sentences him to 3 months imprisonment, ordering that at the expiration of the penalty, he should be taken to the alms house. When the officers seized him, to take him away, he resisted with both feet and bauds, in broken accents, crying “ My bird! My bird.!” LOCOFOCO TARIFF RESOLUTIONS. The following are a portion of the resolutions against AlcKay’s tariff’ bill, adopted by the great LOCOFOCO meeting in Philadelphia, on the 13th ult., and at which Calvin Blythe Esq. presided : Resolved, That this meeting looks with amaze ment upon the folly of this second attempt to in flict a system of low duties upon our country, when we remember that under 20 per ct. duty we were unable to meet the annual expenses oi gov ernment by about §6,000,000 per annum ; while under the present tariff’ we have not only been able to detray the expenses of government, bat have, in addition, paid off about $10,000,000 of national debt. Even the English have acknowl edged the policy of our having a judicious tariff’, which is rendered palpable from the fact that when wc had a tariff ot 20 per cent, not a dollar could be borrowed of them, even at 6 per cent. interest, while uuder the tariff of ’42, they have been begging us to accept their money aw 4 per cent. Resolved, That we protest against the present tariff bilL before the Senate, because it assails ev ery species of industry in the country, aud bases its alleged advantages on the increased amount of foreign manufactured, articles that it is supposed it will bring into this country—which increased, importation can have no other effect than to send our money abroad, instead of purchasing at home of our own working people. THE MCKAY BILL STRIKES DIRECTLY AT THE PROSPERI TY OF THE TAILOR—THE SHOEMAKER— THE PAPER.MAKER—THE BOOKBINDER —THE SHIP CARPENTER—THE WEAVER T HE SPINNER—THE PRINTERS OF COT TON—THE HATTER—THE BLACK AND WHITE SMITH—THE MACHINIST—THE GLASS BLOWER, AND A HOST MORE OF OTHER OCCUPATIONS TOO TEDIOUS TO ENUMERATE, DOWN TO THE CHILDREN INTHE FACTORIES, AND EVEN TO THE UNPROTECTED AND MOST GENERALLY WIDOWED AND l’ARENTLESS 8EAM- STRSS, who labors incessantly fo r a pittance tkas is now scarcely sufficient to keep body and soul togethet nor does it stop here in its course o f de vastation. The thousands an! tens of thousands of oar industrious fellow citizens engaged in onr coal mines, our fnrnaces, forges, rolling mills, foundries, machine shops, &c., &c., as well as the immense body of other persons engaged iu transporting our coal, iron, aud other productions will be materially injured, thrown out of employ. ment, and thus the ruin will extend until it reaches all classes and conditions of onr citizeus, (except probably- the office holders,) and -over whelm us in wretchedness and destitution. Resolved, That no country can be prosperous and happy that has not every branch of sociely fully engaged in some useful occupation—and in proportion as we send abroad to foreign countries for foreign manufactures, w e injure our own looms, and impoverish the country. Resolved, That by passing the tariff bill of Mr. McKay, our factories will be stopped, our iron works closed; and the exporting of our coal to ci ties on the seaboard greatly reduced, if not abso lutely suspended. The Hjitehinsons are now at their moun tain home in Milford, some fifteen miles from Manchester, enjoying the pleasures of njral life, and the cordial greetings, of their many friends. The family now own three large and beautiful farms, and areabout to purchase another, which is valued nt §10,000.

We learn from the Boston Courier, that on Sunday Evening last, at the Park street church, some communications were made, from which it appears that bigotry aud intolerance are pre- vaiiug iu Greece to a most melancholy and alarm ing extent. It says Rev. Dr. King’s trial before the Areopagus, for publishing a little book of ex tracts from the most honored of the Greek fathers, against the worship of the Virgin Mary, of ima ges, and of the bread and wine in the Eucharist as being literally the body and blood of Christ, occurred April 23d. He was defended by two able lawyers, and in addition vindicated his own cause, for some twenty minutes, till silenced by the court at the instigation of the Greek ecclesi astics. The decision of the court was against him, and he was to have a fourth trial at Syra, before the Criminal Court, the 22d of July, a court designed especially for the trial of felons. The two law yers who had boldly defended him before the Areopagus, were to go with him to Syra, to plead liis cause there. Their defence has been widely published in Greece, and is producing a happy influence on the public mind in favor of Dr. King. He says he has been told that the most distin guished lawyers of Athens, who were present at his trial, have expressed their opinion that there was no cause of accusation against him ; yet he says, though lie is to be tried by a jury, “ what jury will have independence enough to declare me innocent, after the ‘ Holy Synod’ has declared me guilty of blasphemy, and after three courts have (as they say) found cause of complaint against me?” He further says, lhe King’s Attorney informed him, that, should the decision of the Court at Sy ra be against him, he would be immediately im prisoned in that place for months, or perhaps for years; but, as he was known for integrity, and there would be no apprehension of his trying to escape, tbey would not be very severe with him ; and he politely added that he would himself write to the authorities there to treat him kindly. TEACHERS’ STATE CONVENTION. A State Convention of teachers is to be held at Utica ou Wednesday, the 19th of the present month. Provision has been made to convey del egates at rates more favorable than usual over the different routes of travel. On all of the rail roads and steamboats west of Utica, the fair will be reduced one half. The ticket which gives a downward passage will entitle the holder to re turn, if within four days without charge. From Saratoga to Troy, and from Troy to Sche nectady, the same liberal offer is made. From Schenectady to Utica, §3 will be charged for a ticket which entitles the holder to a return pas sage. Members of other professions, Editors, and the friends of education generally, are invited to at tend. Lecutres are expected from Prof. C. Dewey President of the Association, Salem Town, author of a series of School Books, D. P. Page, Principal of the State Normal School, J. N. McElligott, Principal of Mechanics’ School, N. Y. We doubt uot but Cayuga will be well rep resented at this convention—we know of no way in which our teachers can, at so little expense of time and money, do greater good to themselves, or add more to their usefulness to others. The New Orleaus Courier of the 37th ult., states tliat case3 of yellow fever exist in that city.— The Picayune of the following day says that if they do, it has not been able to find them out, and more than hints that the Courier speaks in correctly.

It is to be hoped that the Rip Van Winkfe'Secretary of War will awake in time to supply him with the necessary transports in the course of the year; though we of New Or leans, if w e consult our pockets, have no desire to see the war closed so long as Uncle Sam has a dime left to pay with, butif the Senate pass the anti-protection-to-American interest* hill, w e w ill not trnst him a red cent. In my last I promised some account of the man ner in which money and credit have been used here in chartering and purchasing boats, &c. but have since seen a pretty full acconntpublished iu the northern papers, and w ill add but one or two items. Tht steamboat James L. Day was paid for one trip and detention at’ Point Isabel—say about 30 days from the time of her leaving here until her return, §29,763. The Telegraph, which was sold here last spring ior $12,000, was char tered for 2 or 3 trips at §7000 each trip, aud then sold to the Government for the snug sum of $25,- 000. A ueighbdr of mine purchased a condemned French brig for $1000 and in one hour after char tered her to the Government for a trip for $2300 to transport troops to Port Lavacca. These are a mere specimen of hundreds of cases. I have used the word credit above. Tbe supplies for • the first volunteers were purchased almost entire ly on credit, and as but few were able to sell cash articles—such as provisions, sugar, coffee, &c. ou time, the commissary met with some difficulty and but for the $300,000 so promptly furnished by our State, I doubt if they (the volunteers) could have been sent at all until funds had reach- . here from Washington. As a consequence, the highest price was paid for every thing, and those who were able to sell on credit realized larger profits. After the wants of the quarter-master’s department were known at Washington, they were not promptly supplied —remittances coming in dribles of $50,000 and $100,000 al a time, to pay liabilities amounting to more than $1,000,000. Some 2000 volunteers have arrived the past week from Illinois, destined for San Autouio, un der Gen. Wool, who accompanied them, and yes terday proceeded to Port Lavacca. Oil lookiug at this hale, healthy body of men I could not but think of the heartlessness and cruelty of sending them at this season into a tropical climate, us vic tims, not to Mexican bullets, but to a more fatal enemy, the fevers of the country. Of local news 1 have little to communicate. The weather is now delightfully pleasant, the mercury ranging at 84 to 86 degrees, with gentl*- southerly breezes. The hottest days we ha\ had the mercury stood at 93 degrees, and for n. more than four or five days has it been above l;u degrees. Many who intend visiting the North are waiting until your hot season is past, fearir ; they would not be able to bear up under the change. We have had an example tho past sea son, of the benefits to the great West of free trade with Great Britain in Bread stuffs. Flour, wheat and corn are selling at prices that scarcely pay freight and other expenses. Every speculator in these articles here and elsewhere, and every pack er ia pork and bacon in the West, are badly used up. From the favorable accounts of the present crop in every section of the country, I know not where the farmers w ill find an outlet for their sur plus, particularly if the tariff bill passes, by which the consumption by manufacturers is partially cut off. Great Britain will not want it. The little doing in our market is at prices annexed—Sugar 5.) to 6.); Ohio and III., ilour $2,75 to $3; corn 30 to 32c.; whiskey 16 to iCIc.; mess pork $3,- 37); prime $6,75 ; bacon Bides 5) to 51; hams 6 fo 7c.; shoulders 31c.; Rio coffee 6) to 7c.; hay $10 to $12 ton; lime $1,10. Exchange on New ’fork, 60 days, li| discount; Sterlingdiscount. City perfectly healthy. Yours, &c. Correspondence of the Mobile Herald. TWO DAYS LATER FROM MEXICO. P ensabola, July 25. The U. S. fsigate Raritan, Com. Gregory, arriv ed here yesterday from Vera Cruz, which place slie left 011 the 16’th inst., bringing two days later advices than those by the Princeton. The Vera Cruz papers of the I5lh and 16th publish the news oi the Oregon treaty, under the head of ve ry imp u’tant news. The papers say that in consequence of the trea ty, the Mexican people are called on to make in creased efforts to save their country from tho ra pacity of the robbers of the Del Norte. They re mind the Mexicans ol the manner in which the French were driven out of Spain, after Madrid aud the cities of the couutry were in possession of the enemy. This was done by guerilla warfare in which small parties of the enemy were inu;- dered wherever they were found. It is the opinion of all well informed person that there is nothing to prevent Gen. Taylor from marching directly to the city of Mexico. There are no troops to oppose him. Gen. Moro, the commandant of the castle and city of Vera Cruz, who has succeeded the Vice President Bravo, lias entered upon his duties.— He has a body of several hundred men at work every morning on the low sand beach adjoining the castle, where he is throwing up additional breastworks. About sunset the soldiers are exer ted at target firing. The guns are mostly of large calibre, and throw shot to a great distance. The American squadron is anchored under Green Island. Tho opinion of Gen. Gaines is that the castle can only be taken by escalade or boarding, as “ Jack” calls it; this the sailors are eager to undertake. The British steamer arrived at Vera Cruz on the 14th without Santa Anna, and the best informed now say there is no probability of his coming there at all. The Yellow fever is making great liavoe among the troops; both in the castle and in the city. The soldiers, being mostly from the interi or, are not accustomed to the climate, and there fore suffer in health very severely. Vera Cruz could easily be taken with two or three thousand men, who could land either north or south of it. At present the city is nearly deserted. Excellent health preveils throaght the squad ron the frigate Raritan alone excepted ; on board which vessel the scurvy prevails to a great ex tent ; this is caused by tne length of time this vessel has been at sea. Of the large number who liave been sick on board there has not been a death. Correspondence of the N. Y. Journal of Commerce. U. S. F rigate C ongress , > Callao, May 6,1346. ) Slavery is approaching its extinction in Peru. The 152d article of the Constitution declares tin- uo one shall be born a slave in the Republic, a:.i extends this provision back to 1820. Consequo .. ly for tbe last 26 years all have been born iree.— The Constitution also declares that every slave imported from other countries shall be free the moment he touches the soil of Peru; and it de prives of citizenship any one who shall engage in this traffic. This provision of the Constitution has been enforced with more energy than any other. No aspirant or usurper has dared to tram ple on it. . The climate of Peru has a singular effect on the color of different races. It bleaches the black man into the mulatto, and bronzes the white into the Indian. It dwarfs the European in stature, in the second and third generation, and deprives him of fire and energy. The active youth, in their boyhood, exhibit intelligence and force; but as they grow up, they becpnie feeble in body and irresolute in mind. The Indian who inhabits the ravines and table lands in the Cordilleras, is the only one who preserves his vigor. To his half-civilized enterprise and hardihoood, Peru must look for her regeneration. A girl here, at the age of nine or ten, is as far advaticedin her matrimonial anticipations as 6he would be with ns at seventeen. She expects in her fourteenth year to sway hearts as the moon tbe obedient tide. For this triumph she trains herself with an ambition far beyond her years. When the period arrives, she is armed with all the weapons which beauty, wit, repartee, and self-possession can supply. Her wit is never in tended to wound nor her repartee to give offence. She is thorougly amiable to all her allies. She aims to make you think well of her, and is equal ly anxious that you should think well of yourself. She -marries generally for an establishment; and if her husband should bestow his affections else- where, which is often the case, she is pretty sure to follow his example. But these breaches of fidelity,, even where only one of the parties is in error, rarely, if ever, result in a domestic explo sion. The delinquent enjoys all that forbearance and silence which the most jealous regard to tho peace and reputation of the family can suggest. A woman here never nurses her child when sho is angry, for fear of imparting to it a choleric tem perament. If unable to perform this maternal function, she procures a black nurse, bnt never an Indian. The red skin she feels assnred will give it a fiery, irrascible disposition. For the same reason she will hot feed it from the milk cf a sorrel or brindle cow, if a black one can be ob tained. The mass of the population subsist most ly on a vegetable diet. Maize, peas, beans, bar ley, rice, and arrow root, are made into a sort of pulp or mush, which is covered with molasses or sugar. This is the great edible staple of the peo ple of Peru. It gives them sleekness without strength, and fat withouffire. They retain their flesh till they pass forty; then begin to dwindle awav: at sixty they are extremely thin; and at seventy have "hardly substance eiiough to cast a shadow. All this too, m the most mild and equa ble climate on the globe. The thermometer in Lima seldom falls below 65, and rarely ascends al>These are singular facts, but not more so than the notorious one that it never rains here. The vapors as they ascend from the sea, are attached to summits of the Cordilleras, where they are con densed into showers. But on the line of coast,

A ll the predictions, m ade h y the W higs in 1!!44, in regard to th e consequences o f the election of o f Jam es K. Polfe to th e Presidency, have been fulfilled. W higs prophecied tbe annexation of Texas, w ith Slavery, and a consequent wav w ith M exico. W ell, T exas w as annexed w ith its Slavery, and: w e are .engaged in a war w ith M ex­ico, which this year w ill cost over a hundred mill­ions o f dollars. W higs prophecied the destruc­tion o f the Tariit'of ’42, and the substitution o f a Tariff that w ou ld render the National Treasury bankrupt, and bring ruin upon the great interests o f the country, for the, benefit o f Great Britain. The Tariff o f ’42 has been repealed and w e have a Tariff, (w h ich but for the annexation o f Texasw e should noj have, for the b ill w ould not 'have passed but for the votes o f Texas Senators) that w ill not y ield over eighteen, millions o f revenue, w hilst the G overnm ent expenses are a hundred, millions, and as a direct consequence o f which manufacturing establishm ents o f various kinds aU over the country are already ceasing their opera­tions, and thousands oflaborers daily discharged, thus reducing the w ages of labor and cutting off a market for and reducing the prices o f the agri­cultural productions o f the country. T he W higs too prophecied the re-enactment o f the Sub-Trea­sury. This odious measure has just passed Con­gress. W e thus have— thanks to the election o f James K. P olk , a war w ith M exico, a war upon the Domestic Industry, and a war upon the Currency o f the country—and all because Northern dem a­gogues, doughfaces, have been w illing to bargainaway to the South, all the great interests of the north, for national official “ spoils” in possession or in expectancy. I f such is but the beginning what is to be the end o f Polkism !

The Rochester DailygAdvertiser, a day or two since copied a short article from our columns, in which gratification was expressed that the com- m itteein the Convention, on th eeleetive franchise, bad made a report in w hich was recom m ended the separate submission to the people o f the ques­tion o f negro suffrage. In doing soi the Adverti­ser very unjustly insinuates that such recommen­dation was opposed to the ground taken by us pre­vious to the election, aud w ith equal unfairness attem pts to charge its authorship upon Mr. S e w ­

a r d . W e kn ow not what that gentlem an’s sen­tim ents are on this subject. Iu regard to the oth­er intimation, it is only necessary to remark, that our paper has from the first agitation o f this ques­tion, uniformly advocated such separate submis­sion, and has therefore m et w ith no changer

T h e T a r i f f o f 1 8 4 6 —T h e w a y i t W o r k s !W e stated tw o or three days ago, that the pro

prictors o f Vulcan Iron W orks, at Troy, had dis charged Iheir hands in consequence of th e pas sago of McKay's British Tariff. W e find in the Troy Daily Post, the following:

M r. E d i t o r : You w ill oblige ;a number of your patrons of both political parties, by inserting in the Post the follow ing proceedings o f a m eeting held at the Vulcan Iron Works oil the 30 th inst.

A t a m eeting o f the Machinists, M illwrights, Blacksmiths, Laborers aud others, em ployed by the Troy Vulcan Iron Works, held at the W orks on the 30th o f Ju ly , the undersigned ■were appointed a com m ittee to report resolu­tions, w hich w ere unanimously adopted, v i z : Resolved, That w e view w ith feelings o f anxi­

ety and alarm, the effects o f the destruction of the present exce llen t Tariti—a measure under which w e have fouud constant em ploym ent and at good prices—aud are already made victim s to a new measure injurious ulike to every branch of industry iu the country.

Resolved, That without reference to our former political principles, w e here solem nly pledge ourselves, the one to the other, from this day fur- ward, to oppose the party which advocates or car­ries into effect a measure which deprives us o f the means o f supporliug ourselves aud families. Under the standard o f Repeal w e fight, until suc­cess crowns our efforts.

Resolved, That w e unite in sympathy w ith the owners o f the Vulcan Works, feeling that they are common sufferers w ith ourselves hy the repeal of the present Act, and feel bound to acknow ledge that it would be im possible for them to carry on the W orks iu com petition w ith the pauper labor o f England.

T H E OREGON TREATY IN FRANCE.T he tex t o f the Oregon treaty was made known

at Paris, says the Courrier des-Etats-Uuis, July 14th, and the opinion that the Press had enter­tained respecting that diplom atic act, had not been modified ; that is to say, the Prcsse, the Re- forme, and the National, are o f the opinion that the m ost important concessions have been made b y England. T he last o f these journals regrets, how ever, that the United States have abandoned Vancouver’s Island to England. According to it, it w as a great fault, for the reason that w hen it shall be fortified, it w ill command the Straits o f Fuca and the mouth of the Columbia. The Esprit Public is the only journal w hich thinks that all the concessions have been made b y the U nited States, and that England has been the greatest gainer b y the treaty. A s to the Journal des Debats and the Epoque, they have lim ited them selves to a publication o f the provisions, w ith­out the least com mentary. This is a proof that the hostility o f their first criliqes found no en­couragement from the cabinet. J*

CIRCUIT, AND OYER AN D TERM IN ER.This Court adjourned on W ednesday, having

been in actual session less-than three days. The Calendar w as not large, numbering only som e IS or 20 oases. A ll, how ever, w ere disposed o f by trial, reference, postponement, or otherwise.

The Grand Jury, w e understand, fouud several bills o f indictm ent, am ongst which was oue against the present A gent o f the Prison, for furnishing, or procuring to be furnished for the convicts, un­w holesom e provisions.

There w ere no criminal causes tr ied : all, in­cluding the indictm ents against Rathbun and Ca­ry, having been sent to the General Sessions.

So short a Circuit, after so long a Special Term as that w hich had just closed, cannot bu the grati­fying to citizens generally, but must bo especial­ly so at this season o f oppressive temperature, to those whose attendance w as required by profes­sional, official, and other duties.

And here w e take great pleasure in bearing testimony to the distinguished ability w ith whieh the learned Judge who presided, discharged his high functions. To learning, astuteness, and promptitude, that command the respect and con­fidence of the profession, Judge P a r k e r adds a dignity, courtesy, aud urbanity, tbat w in the fa­vor and commendation o f all. *

w ill be obliged to discharge a large number o f men to-day.

Most o f tho manufacturers o f cotton goods at Fairmount and other manufacturing districts o f Philadelphia, w ill either have to stop, or make a reduction of from 25 to 50 per cent), ou w ages.

A new hinge manufactory iu Southwark, w e hear, w ill uot be able to go on.

It is reported the Globe Mill in Kensington w ill discharge one or two hundred hands to-day.

T he P ottsville M iner’s Journal says that i t has already becom ocertain that alm ost all o f the works which w ere projected and w ere being established must be laid aside at once, or as soon as they can be got into such a state as to render it feasible.— Not only is this sure to happen, but large and ex ­tensive operations have already been closed, the workm en discharged,and an end put to extensive operations.

T H E VETO MESSAGE.T he papers contain this docum ent—it would

occupy nearly three o f onr colum ns. Y et w e would give i t to our readers i f it contained any thing new . With a s in g le extraordinary excep­tion, it is only a repetition o f the reasons given by his predecessors for vetoing similar b i l ls ; and i f our readers have any desire to study Constitu­tional hair-splitting, or Virginia abstractions, w e refer them to previous River and Harbor B ill vetoes. The expeption w e m entioned, how ever, is n ew , and is as fo llo w s:

I f no constitufionol objections existed to the bill, there are others o f a serious nature whichdeservespm e cqnsideration. I l appropriates be­tw een one and tyvo m illions o f dollars for objects which are o f no pressing n ecessity ; and this isproposed at a time w hen the country is eugagedin a foreign war, and w hen Congress 3t its pres­en t session has authorised a loan or the issue o f Treasury Notes, to defray the expenses o f the war, to be resotted lo i f the “ exigencies o f the Government shall require it .” I t w ould seem to b e the dictate pf wisdom , under such circum­stances, to husband onr means, and not waste them on comparatively unimportant objects, so that w e m ay reduce the loan or issue of Treasury Notes which ma) becom e necessary to the small­est practicable stim. I t w onld seem to be w ise, too, to abstain from such expenditures w ith a view to avoid the accumulation o f a large public debt, the existence o f which would be opposed to the interests o f qur people, as w e ll as to the ge­nius o f our free institutions.

Opposed to tbp interests o f the beople— to the genius o f our frpe institutions, is it? W ell, this is rich,— it is bdyond 54-40. Mr. P olk can, in violation o f the Constitution, send an army to in ­vade a foreign territory, provoke an unnecessary war, that is now costing the nation m ore every w eek than the whole sum total o f the River and Harbor B ill appropriations, and as m uch per d ly is the amount of such o f them as w ere for im ­provements within this State,— h e can, i f the Senate w ill only permit him , by his reckless and im becile policy, involve the country in a war w ith Great Britain that would cost ten tim es as much per w eek , or per day, as the M exican war, de­stroy tens o f thousands o f human lives, aud m il­lions o f property, and uncivilize aud debauch the

p e o p le ; and all this is right, “ clear and unques­tionable right;” this is democratic; this is Loco­foco “progress;” this is doing the greatest good to the greatest num ber; this is “ extending the area o f human freedom”— but to appropriate a m illion and a half dollars for the im provem ent of Harbors and Rivers in different quarters o f the Union, which are national in their nature and U9es, and in order to save the lives and protect the property o f the people, encourage, and pro­m ote the business and com merce of the country i and also to save from decay and destruction struc­tures w hich have already been commenced at an enormous national expense, is not to “ husband our means,” “ is to w aste them awunimporlant ob­jects ! ”— is to “accumulate a'large p n b licd eb tl! ’’ is “opposed to the interests o f the People, ” “ to the genius o f our free institutions! ! ! ” Really, Mr. Polk , you must be trying tu crack a prodi­gious great joke, or else you must entertain a very exalted opinion o f the intelligence o f tbe “ Amer­ican Nationality.” *

U. S. Steam Frigate M ississippi, ?Vera Cruz, July 9th, 1346. )

F rie n d O liph an t : An opportunity for sending you a few lines has occurred, and 1 em brace it w ith no little pleasure. You m ay perhaps have heard, in fact, I believe I told you, that tbe Am e­rican Brig E ugenia had evaded the blockade, and was safely moored under the w alls o f the Castle o f San Juan d e Ullio. W ell, yesterday the Captain of the s lid barque, having transacted all his business, cam e boldly out of the harbor, ex­pecting to escape by superior sailing, but the Cumberland. Potomac, and Princeton headed him off, put a prize crew on board his vessel and brought her into port, and anchored her in the m idst o f the squadron, the Commodore, lias, how­ever, decided to let her go, and as she is to sail for N ew York this afternoon, I hasten to improve the opportuui-ty thus aflbrded.

The ships o f the squadron have all, w ith the .exception o f us, gone about seven m iles dow n the coast, for water, hut the M exicans getting w ind of it, sent a force o f som e five hundred m en. to pre­vent the boats lauding. Tho Princeton ran close in, aud opened a heavy fire among the enem y, and they dispersed instanter. This occurred yester­day afternoon, and a heavy cannonading was heard again this morning, w ith w hat result, w ehave not ye t learned. In haste,

T H E RANDOLPH NEGROES.T he last Piqua ( O.) Register sa y s: “ These

unfortunate creatures have agaiu beeu driven from lands se lected for them . A s w e noticed last w eek , flu effort, which it was thought would be successful, was made to settle them in shelby Co., but, lik e the previous attem pts ill M ercer, it hasfailed. T hey w ere driven away by threats o f vi­olence.

“ About one-third o f them, w e understand, re­mained at Sidney, intending to scatter, and find homes w herever they can. The rest of them cam e dow n here to-day, (Thursday,) and are now at the wharf iu boats. The present intention is to leave them along, wherever places can h e ob­tained for them . W e presum e, therefore, they w ill all remain in the State, as it is possible they w ill fiud situations for the w hole o f them , be­tw een this and Cincinnati.”

“ T he intollerant and iuhuman conduct o f thecitizens o f Ohio, is a reproach to human nature.Such barbarity is enough to make man blush for the depravity o f liis fellow man. John Randolph, in the spirit o f true and liberal philanthropy, not only emancipated his slaves, bu t provided for their support. An executor w ent w ith these peo­p le into a free State, to purchase lands from which they w ere to obtain their future livelihood And y e t the benevolent design of their deceased benefactor is defeated by preajudice. proscription, and eveu violence. Shame ! Oh shame !

This inhospitable conduct o f the citizens of Ohio w ill seriously retard the cause o f emancipa­tion. I fth e w hites w ill not allow emancipated people o f color to liv e among them , what right have w e to rail at slavery ? I f communities rise up in rebellion agaiust those w ho ow e their free­dom to the magnanimity o f their masters, freedom w ill cease to be a blessing to the poor African.

“ But w here, during all this tim e, are the friends of tho slave ? W hy do the Abolitionists see more than a hundred poor creatures, w ith m oney to purchase laud, driven lik e w ild beasts from the haunts o f civilization ? W here is Gerrit Smith, with his tens ot thousands o f acres i He m ight se ll them lands. And in this State they w ould r»ot,_we are qu ite sure, b e exposed to Lynching or riots.”

The treatment that the Randolph negroes have received, and are continuing to receive, at the hands o f a .Free State, ought to doom Political Abolitionism to utter annihilation— and its dem a­gogues to an infamy and political damnation asdeep as that to which Haunegan cousigned Polk.

H on. Mr. Sem ple, the independent Senator from Illinois, whom Ritchie and other “ whippers in” pursued to the cars w here he had actually taken his seat for hom e, and b y main force almost, took back and com pelled to vote for the new Tariff, is, (so says rumor) to be appointed Governor o f Ore­gon Territory on the arrival o f the proper tim e for m aking said appontment, w hich w ill h e after the enactm ent o f the' la w for the establishm ent o f a Territorial Government.

A t the very W estern extrem ity of this continent is situated a band o f pioneers, who without any o f these appliauoes to w hich w e are accustomed to look for aid, are preparing the way for fresh industrial aud social developm ents, that may one day rival or eclipse any exam ples w e have y e t seen o f the physical meliorations, produced by w e ll applied energy.

The men are ye t alive w ho first explored the . waters o f the Columbia, and w hat was then a w aste has now becom e a civilized territory, ador­ned w ith a city, that has just becom e the seat of an organized government, and is surrouuded by a country not m erely giving em ploym ent to the follow ers o f a rude system ot agriculture, but stud­ded w ith mills aud manufactories, for w hich the rivers o f the country supply the pow er. Add to this, that this last bom ot the cities possesses lite ­rary nnd scientific institutions, first rate schools, and a journal printed on as good paper and in as good sty le as any in North America, and surpass­ed, in these respects at least, by a very few iu any part o f the world, and you have au idea o f the enterprise and intelligence of the settlers o f the fir W est. For all these have been accomplished in the face o f difficulties equal to tbose which beset the first colonists o f the N ew W orld, aud with no other mechanical aids than those which cju ld he conveyed over the weary laud track that separates the colony from the United States, or by the m ost dangerous voyage— that around Cape Horn—known to modern travelers.

I t w ill be generally understood that our re­marks apply principally to the Americau territory, the nature of the country in the occupation o f our countrymen, and the tenure o f th eH . B . Compa­ny, besides other causes which w e need not par­ticularize, having hitherto prevented the Oregon from becom ing the object o f extensive emigration, from Great Britain.

In looking over the file o f the Spectator w e are no less surprised than pleased to remark its mod­eration o f tone in reference to the ldte territorialdisputes. From all that w e have beeu in the habit o f hearing from American statesman w ho claim the especial right to the protection o f Ore­gonian interests, w e should have im agined tho actual dw ellers in that country to b e a set o f w ild­fire eaters, w hose proximity to savage life had made them half savage, and w ho entertained all that desire for the spread o f the area o f freedom, and the expulsion ot e v e iy thing English from the American continent w hicn constituted so large an ingredient in the speeches o f Cass aud som e other W estern M. C V

Jnstead o f a ll th is, i f w e are to judge, a t least, from the contents o f the Spectator, these people are a very quiet, in telligen t and public spirited set o f fellows, w hose m en give very good parties ou their national festivals, to w hich they invite their E nglish friends from Fort-Vancouver, and whoso pretty girls dance at balls w ith British of­ficers on board British ships, and laugh heartily at comedies; enacted b y Victoria’s blue jackets, on service iu the Coluihbia river. T he only allu­sion to any hostile feeling or probable hostile col­lision, is ip the address to the Legislature b y th e very sensible gentleman, whom the Oregonians have done honor to them selves, b y choosing for their President, and w ho thinks i t necessary to provide a m ilitia la w for the defence o f the colo­ny , as a precaution against any attack.

W e give this address in fu ll b e low , and in the meantim e w e m ay remark that the m ost exciting question o f internal policy in the n e w settlem ent appears to be, w hether the State should or should

not prohibit the manufacture nnd use o f ardent spirits. T h e present state o f the law appears to be founded' on that Irnly Republican doctrine, that the individual must submit, his personal lib ­erty to the w ill o f the majority^ and that majori­ty having declared that the indi%ddual has no right to judge w hat he shall eat awl.drink, has attempt e d to suppress the manufacture o f ardent spirits by penal enactments. L ike all law s, founded on improper principles, how ever, this one is carried out i l ia very la x manner, and w hile the tee-total- lers are crying out for increased severity and vig- ilonce, the friends o f freedom are proclaiming the enactm ent unconstitutional ( ! ) ana unjust. M ee­tings w ere held by both parties to enforce their ow n view s.

T he follow ing is irom the St. Louis N e w E ra: O r e g o n .— W e have conversed w ith au intelli­

gent, practical man, who has just returned from Oregon, in which place he lived nearly a year.— H e w ent from Indiana last year, and is now re-turning to tbat place, with the intention of reino* ving permanently to Oregon.

H e has travelled over a large portion o f that couutry, and has been a close oSserver. H e says that the people o f Oregon w ill be very much re­joiced to learn that the Oregon question has been se ttled ; that they w ill object to the relinquish­m ent o f Vancouver’s Island, but w ill consider it a great object to have the boundary se ttled ; that they do not consider it a matter o f great impor­tance w here the line shall run, but a matter of vast importance to their peace, prosperity, aud safety, that it should be finally adjusted.

T he emigrants w ill be-rejoiced when they hear o f the Oregon treaty. H e represents that there are now about 6,000 sattlers in Oregon, one-fourth of whom are foreigners, or half-breeds, and three fourths American emigrants. The provisional go­vernment is w ell sustained, justice w e ll adminis­tered, and the law s properly enforced. The local legislature provides by law that each settler shall have one section or m ile square o f land, w hich must be surveyed w ith the cardinal points, and marked either by natural or artificial land-marks.

A description must be recorded, and the settler must either continue on it, or i f he leaves it he must pay a tax on his claim o f $5 per year for tw o years ; and if he continue absent more than tw o years, he forfeits all claim whatever.

The people are anxious for the Uuited States to establish a territorial governm ent iu order that they may have greater permanency aud security’, aud also that they m ay have base and range lines and a regular system o f surveys of the public lands. Tne people are industriously making farms and im provem ents; they now make a con­siderable surplus o f wheat beyond the wants o f the territory; they saw and export much lumber, and sell a considerable quantity o f fish.

T h e farmers are getting liue stocks o f hogs, horses, sheep and ca ttle ; they trade principally w ith the Sandwich Islauds, aud get their supplies of merchandise principally from the Hudson Bay Company, w ho supply them w ith groceries and merchandise on reasonable terms. T he Cush­ings o f Newburyport, and Governor Abernethy, have stores in Oregon City, bnt their stocks are not heavy. T he people need very much farming im plem ents, tools o f every kind, castings, hollow ware and household kitchen furniture, aud suchthiugs shipped round from the East w ould be good investm ents.

Tne water pow er o f the country is very fine, aud the people very’ much need additional m ills and m achinery; they also need carding machines to work up their wool. The clim ate is m ild iu the W ellam ette valley— they had uo snow alllast winter, and tbey seldom have liave snow o f any depth ; aud still im m ediately east o f them are se­veral high mouutaiii peaks that are covered with perpetual snow. T uey cau plough at any time during the winter and wheat may be advantage­ously sow n at any tim e from Septem ber to April. T hey raise from 25 to 50 bushels o f w heat to the acre. H e show ed us som e shecim eus o f Oregon wheat w hich w ere unusually fine.

The farmers are paying som e attention to or­chards and nurseries. Under an act o f Congress, soma persons have undertaken to m ake a road across the Cascade mountaius, so as to surmount the greatest difficulty iu_ reaching Oregon. Oue hundred and sixty m iles across the Cascade range present more difficulties and perils to the emigrant than the w hole distance from the Missuuri to the ocean.

The persons alluded to have undertaken to cut a w agon road across this range o f mountains on condition that they shall receive five dollars for each wagon that crosses over for tw o years to com e. T hey engage to have it ready for the em ­igrants o f the present year. Many ol the em i­grants last year suffered prodigiously ill attempt­ing to cross these mountains.

Our intelligent informant thinks thi t Congress ought to make an appropriation without delay to make a good road across the Cascade range in­to the W ellam ette Valley, and then a wagon can travel conveniently from Missouri to the Pa­cific, and the construction o f sucii a road at this tim e is beyond the ability o f the emigrants.

Ships ascend the Columbia six m iles above the mouth o fth e W ellam ette to Fort V aucouver; and tw enty m iles farther up, the river is interrupted by high perpendicular fa lls ; above that point are several other high falls., and tbe river is only na­vigated by birch canoes or ligh t boats that are carried across many portages. Ships ascend the W illam ette to w ithin tea m iles o f Oregon Ci­ty, and steamboats may com e to that c ity ; and at the city there is a perpendicular fall o f 25 feet, whichaffords the finest w ater pow er in the world.

Above the falls at Oregon City the W ellam ettecould be navigated by steamboats for 150 miles. The W ellam ette valley is very rich and desirable, and contains the principal settlements. There isa settlem ent on the coast just below the m outh o fthe Oregon,and one betw een the W ellam ette andthe Pacific. A few American settlers have loca-t°d uear Puget’s Sound, and are erecting a saw­mill at that point.

The country betw een the Oregon and P u g e t’s Sound is generally mouutanous, but it lu s many fertile valleys, fiue timber aud good w ater. Pu­get’s Sound is said to be the best on the coast, and there is also a good harbor at the mouth of the Columbia.

There is a great quantity o f Iron ore at Mount Hood in Oregon, and stone coal has been discov­ered and worked in the W ellam ette V alley about 100 m iles above Oregon C ity. Som e o f the em i­grants are trying to explore a route from Fort Bogy on L ew is river, direct to the upper end of the W ellam ette Valley, and i f they succeed, it w ill shorten the route to Oregon -very much.

“ MY D A U G H TER ! MY D U C A T S!”O r a n e w -w ay t o S tu ff B ir d s .

W e find in, the Courier d es Etats-Unis, the fol­low ing anecdote o f a. modern Shylock. On the I2th day o f last June, som e P olice Officers, pass­ing the Rue Sainte Appoline, perceived an old man annoying the passers by, b y begging alms. H e w as almost naked, and h is nude state was a sufficient reason for his arrest as an offender against public decency. H e w as how ever, ar­rested for m endicity o n ly ; aud it is as a vagrant, lhat he to-day appears before the correctional p o ­lice. H is nam e is Dabertin, and h e is sixiy-three years o f age.

W hen he found him self in the hands o f the offi­cers, h e besought them to conduct him to his dom­icil, that he m ight get, he sa:d , som e things o f in ­dispensable necessity. T he officers thought he wished to get a shirt, or a pair o f pantaloons, or a frock, all o f w h ich w ere nearly wanting in the toilet o f the old mendicant. T hey accompanied hint to his garret. A s soon as he entered, Daber­tin precipitated h im self towards a little closet w hieh w as unlocked, and trem bling, seized a large stuffed bird, grey w ith d u st; pressed it ea­gerly beneath h is rags, and cried w ith a loud voice, and a triumphant sm ile, “ L e t us g o !”

T he officers astonished that this man should have shown so much eagerness to carry off th e carcass o f a bird not worth a sous, conceived sus­picions ; they obliged him to put i t into their hands, and manifested som e surprise, at its unu­sual w eight. Ou shaking it, they w ere still more surprised at the m etalic sound that it gave. T hey then opened it, and took out pieces o f gold amounting to the sum o f 1,760 francs. W hen the poor devil saw that they w ere depriving him of b is treasure, he w as seized w ith a veritable access o f madness. Turn by turn, he laughed, he wept, he begged the officers to restore his gold, applied to them injurious epithets, threw him self at their feet, and struck them w ith his f ists; but all to no purpose; he had to subm it to the sacrifice, and was imprisoned w ithout his dear bird.

To-day, at the hearing, the accused, although less exalted, does not the less mourn his “ mo­llies." To all the questions put by the President, he answers by other questions about his monies.

T he President.— “ H ave you no profession ?" Accused — “ My bird, m y dear sir— m y poor

bird, w hat has becom e o f it? ”The President.— “ A nsw er m e ! do you plead

guilty to the charge o f having begged?”Accused.— “ I knew it w hen i t was a l iv e ; I

loved it as a brother, as a brother, as a son— It is I w ho stuffed it .”

The President,— “ Yes, w ith gold; w hence cam e the sum w hich i t contained 7”

Accused.— T hey shall give it back to me, shall they not, m y dear Mr. President? Y’ou would not have the death o f a poor man lik e m e to re­proach yourself w ith 7”

The President.— “ H ow happens it, that, hav­ing such a sum, you addict yourself to mendici­ty ?”

Accused .— “ I w ill cause masses to b e said for the repose of your so u ls! I w ill put w axen ta­pers at your bier. W ill you not m ake them re­store it ?”

It is im possible for the President to obtain from the old man, a single word which has not som e reference to his m o n ey ; and the Court sentences him to 3 months imprisonment, ordering that at the expiration o f the penalty, he should be taken to the alms house.

When the officers seized him, to take him away, he resisted w ith both feet and bauds, in broken accents, crying “ M y b ir d ! My b ird .!”

LOCOFOCO TARIFF RESOLUTIONS.The follow ing are a portion o f the resolutions

against AlcKay’s tariff’ bill, adopted by the great LOCOFOCO m eeting in Philadelphia, on the 13th ult., and at w hich Calvin Blythe Esq. presided :

Resolved, That this m eeting looks w ith amaze­ment upon the folly o f this second attem pt to in­flict a system o f low duties upon our country, w hen w e rem em ber that under 20 per ct. duty we w ere unable to m eet the annual expenses oi gov­ernment by about §6,000,000 per annum ; w hile under the present tariff’ w e have not only been able to detray the expenses o f government, b a t have, in addition, paid off about $10,000,000 of national debt. E ven the E nglish have acknow l­edged the policy of our having a judicious tariff’, which is rendered palpable from the fact that w h en w c had a tariff ot 20 per cent, not a dollar could be borrowed o f them , even at 6 per cent.interest, w hile uuder the tariff o f ’42, they have been begging us to accept their m oney aw 4 per cent.

Resolved, That w e protest against the present tariff bilL before the Senate, because it assails ev­ery species o f industry in the country, aud bases its alleged advantages on the increased amount o f foreign manufactured, articles that it is supposed it will bring into this country— which increased, importation can have no other effect than to send our money abroad, instead o f purchasing at home o f our own working people.

I n t o l e r a n c e a n d B i g o t r y i n G r e e c e .W e learn from the Boston Courier, that on

Sunday Evening last, at the Park street church, som e communications w ere m ade, from which it appears that bigotry aud intolerance are pre- vaiiug iu Greece to a most melancholy and alarm­ing extent. It says Rev. Dr. King’s trial before the Areopagus, for publishing a little book o f ex­tracts from the m ost honored o f the Greek fathers, against the worship o f the Virgin Mary, o f ima­ges, and of the bread and w ine in the Eucharist as being literally the body and blood o f Christ, occurred April 23d. H e w as defended by two able lawyers, and in addition vindicated his ow n cause, for som e tw enty minutes, till silenced by the court at the instigation o f the Greek ecclesi­astics.

The decision of the court w as against him , and he w as to have a fourth trial at Syra, before theCriminal Court, the 22d of Ju ly , a court designede s p e c i a l l y f o r the trial o f f e l o n s . T h e tw o law ­yers who had boldly defended him before the Areopagus, w ere to go w ith him to Syra, to plead liis cause there. Their defence has been w idely published in Greece, and is producing a happy influence on the public m ind in favor of Dr. King. H e says he has been told that the m ost distin­guished law yers o f Athens, w ho w ere present at his trial, have expressed their opinion that there w as no cause of accusation against h im ; y e t he says, though lie is to be tried by a jury, “ what jury w ill have independence enough to declare m e innocent, after the ‘ H oly Synod’ has declared m e guilty o f blasphem y, and after three courts have (as they say) found cause o f complaint against m e?”

H e further says, lhe King’s Attorney informed him, that, should the decision of the Court at Sy­ra be against him, he w ould be im m ediately im ­prisoned in that place for months, or perhaps for y ea rs; but, as he was know n for integrity, and there w ould be no apprehension o f his trying to escape, tbey w ou ld not be very severe w ith h im ; and he politely added that he would him self writeto the authorities there to treat him kindly.

T E A C H E R S’ STA TE CONVENTION.A State Convention of teachers is to b e held at

Utica ou W ednesday, the 19th o f the present month. Provision has b een m ade to convey del­egates at rates more favorable than usual over the different routes o f travel. On a ll o f the rail roads and steamboats w est o f Utica, the fair w ill be reduced one half.

B y the arrival o f the steam boat Fashion w e have a few additional item s from the army, but uot m uch o f interest. Private letters from volun­teers to their friends complain bitterly o f their sufferings from exposure to alternate heat and rain, w ithout suitable tents to protect them against either. Sickness prevails, am ong them to a con­siderable extent. General Taylor is extrem ely anxious to m ove on to Monterey, a high and heal­thy locality among the hills, hu t cannot for w ant o f wagons, m ules, &c.

A ueighbdr o f m ine purchased a condemned French brig for $1000 and in one hour after char­tered her to the Government for a trip for $2300 to transport troops to Port Lavacca. T hese are a m ere specim en o f hundreds of cases. I have used the word credit above.

Correspondence of the Mobile Herald.TW O DAYS LA T E R FROM M EXICO.

Pensabola, July 25. The U. S. fsigate Raritan, Com. Gregory, arriv­

ed here yesterday from Vera Cruz, which place slie left 011 the 16’th inst., bringing tw o days later advices than those by the Princeton. The Vera Cruz papers o f the I5 lh and 16th publish the new s oi the Oregon treaty, under the head o f ve­ry imp u’tant new s.

The papers say that in consequence o f the trea­ty, the M exican people are called on to m ake in­creased efforts to save their country from tho ra­pacity o f the robbers o f the D el Norte. T hey re­mind the M exicans o l the manner in which the French w ere driven out o f Spain, after Madrid aud the cities o f the couutry w ere in possession of the enem y. This was done b y guerilla warfare in w hich sm all parties o f the enem y w ere inu;- dered wherever they w ere found.

I t is the opinion o f all w e ll informed person that there is nothing to prevent Gen. Taylor from marching directly to the c ity o f M exico. There are no troops to oppose him.

Gen. Moro, the commandant o f the castle and city o f Vera Cruz, w ho has succeeded the Vice President Bravo, lias entered upon his duties.— H e has a body o f several hundred men at work every morning on the low sand beach adjoining the castle, w here he is throwing up additional breastworks. A bout sunset the soldiers are exer­

ted at target firing.The guns are m ostly of large calibre, and

throw shot to a great distance. The American squadron is anchored under Green Island. Tho opinion o f Gen. Gaines is that the castle can only be taken by escalade or boarding, as “ Jack” calls i t ; this the sailors are eager to undertake. The British steam er arrived at Vera Cruz on the 14th without Santa Anna, and the best informed now say there is no probability o f his com ing there at all.

The Y ellow fever is m aking great liavoe among the troops; both in the castle and in the city. T he soldiers, being m ostly from the interi­or, are not accustomed to the clim ate, and there­fore suffer in health very severely. Vera Cruz could easily be taken w ith tw o or three thousand men, who could land either north or south o f it. A t present the city is nearly deserted.

E xcellen t health preveils throaght the squad­ron the frigate Raritan alone excepted ; on board w hich vessel the scurvy prevails to a great ex ­tent ; this is caused b y tne length o f tim e this vessel has been at sea.

Of the large number w ho liave been sick on board there has not been a death.

Callao, May 6 ,1 3 4 6 . )Slavery is approaching its extinction in Peru.

T he 152d article o f the Constitution declares t in - uo one shall be born a slave in the Republic, a : .i extends this provision back to 1820. C onsequo .. ly for tbe last 26 years all have been born iree.— T he Constitution also declares that every slave imported from other countries shall b e free the m oment he touches the soil o f P er u ; and i t d e­prives o f citizenship any one w ho shall engage in this traffic. T his provision o f the Constitution has been enforced w ith m ore energy than any other. No aspirant or usurper has dared to tram­p le on it.. T he clim ate o f Peru has a singular effect on the

color o f different races. I t bleaches the black man into the mulatto, and bronzes the w h ite into the Indian. I t dwarfs the European in stature, in the second and third generation, and deprives him o f fire and energy. T he active youth , in their boyhood, exhibit in te lligen ce and force; but as they grow up, th ey becpnie feeb le in body and irresolute in mind. T he Indian w h o inhabits the ravines and table lands in the Cordilleras, is the only one w ho preserves h is vigor. T o his half-civilized enterprise and hardihoood, Peru m ust look for h er regeneration.

A girl here, at the age o f nine or ten, is as far advaticed in her matrimonial anticipations as 6he w ould be w ith ns at seventeen. She expects in her fourteenth year to sw ay hearts as the m oon tbe obedient tide. For this triumph she trains herself w ith an am bition far beyond her years. W hen the period arrives, she is armed w ith a ll the weapons w h ich beauty, w it, repartee, and self-possession can supply. H er w it is never in ­tended to wound nor her repartee to give offence. She is thorougly amiable to a ll her allies. Sheaims to make you think well of her, and is equal­ly anxious that you should think w ell of yourself.She -marries generally for an establishment; andi f her husband should bestow his affections else-where, which is often the case, she is pretty s u r eto follow his example. B ut these breaches offidelity,, even where only one of the parties is inerror, rarely, i f ever, result in a domestic explo­sion. T he delinquent enjoys a ll that forbearance and silence w hich the most jealous regard to tho peace and reputation of th e fam ily can suggest.

A woman here never nurses her child w h en sho is angry, for fear o f im parting to i t a choleric tem ­perament. I f unable to perform this maternal function, she procures a b lack nurse, bnt never an Indian. T he red skin she feels assnred w ill give i t a fiery, irrascible disposition. For the sam e reason sh e w il l h o t feed it from the m ilk c f a sorrel or brindle cow , i f a black one can be ob­tained. T he mass o f the population subsist most­ly on a vegetab le d iet. Maize, peas, beans, bar­ley , rice, and arrow root, are made into a sort o fpulp or m ush, w h ich is covered with m olasses or sugar. This is th e great edible staple o f the peo­p le o f P eru . I t gives them sleekness w ithout strength, and fat w ithouffire. T hey retain their flesh till they pass forty; then begin to dw indle a w av: at sixty they are extrem ely th in ; and atseventy h a v e "hardly substance eiiough to cast a shadow.
