TICKPOCRETS AND THIEVES.
About a dozen of this honorable fra

OCCUPATION OF OREGION;The Mill.
.tary Committee of the House is said to
have agreed to report .
- a resolution appro
priating the snm or $lOO,OOO, to be
placed in the of the President,
for the immediate armed occupation of
Oregon. _
Anecdote of the President Elect.
.
' The following story told by Col.
Polk himself and will no doubt lose
much of its piquancy, when deprived of
that inimitable esprit of manner with
which he knows so well how to point'an
anecdote:
At the outset of the politital career o
the President elect, he was candidate to
represent Maury county in the State
Legislature.. That county had been rep
resented for many years previous by law
yers, and the fact that theyoungcandidate
belonged to the legal profession was se
riously urged as an objection against him
by his competitor, who was a farmer.
The Col. determined to meet the ques
tion boldly and take issue upon it. Hav
ing prepared himself with apathetic ap
peal on the subject, he repaired to one of
his appointments, where a large crowd
had assembled to witness the discussion
between the candidates. The Col. was
the first to take the stand.
On the step, of the stand, immediate
ly below him, sat a large, fat and good
humored old farmer, known as "Un
cle Billy Gteen." Uncle Billy paid
partieulary good attention until the Col.
came to that part of his speech where, in
an answer to the objections urged against
him he alluded most glowingly to his
profession. "Although, fellow citizens,"
said be, " I cannot like my competitor,
boast of belonging to that high and hon
orable class of community whieh forms
the bone and sinew of the nation—the
horny handed and noble hearted far
mers of the county ; although," said he,
with increasing animation and kindling
pathos, "although I cannot claim the
honor of being a tiller of the soil .yet as a
member of the bar, as an advocate, I can
truly declare that my tongue is my plough
and,my . hoe, and my head my crib."
Yes," said Uncle Billy Green,look
ing up and speaking at the top of his
voice,"yes Colonel ! and treckon your
belly's your meat-house !" The crowd
went into convulsions, Uncle Billy reeled
off till steps and tbeorator repudiated his
"lawyer's speech" from that hour.
A. BILL TO SUPPRESS LICENTIOUS
NESS is before the New York Legisla
ture. It prescribes, for the saduetion
of a female under 18, by a married
man, State prison not more than five
years, or a fine of not more than 3000.
For seducing - a female over 18, State
Prison not more than three years, -or
county jail not more than'one year, or
a fine of not over $lOOO. Seduction
of not over 18, same penalties as last
above. Every person who shall keep
a house of ill•fame, shall suffer impris
onment, and every person who shall
let or lease any building or tenement
for the purpose of being kept as a house
of ill-fame, shall suffer imprisoriment,
and every person who shall let or lease
any building or tenement for the pur
pose of being kept as a bowie of ill
fame, shall forfeit, for the use of the
poor, the rents and profits of the same
for two years.
PEOPLE try to reconcile von to disc
pointment in love, by asking why you
should cherish a passion for an object
that has proved itself worthless ? Had
you known this before, you would have
encouraged the passion ; but, that hav
ing been once formed, knowledge does
not destroy it. If we have drunk poison,
finding it out does not prevent its being
in our veins ; so passion leaves its poison
in the mind. It is the nature of all pas
sion, and of all habitual affection ; we
throw ourselves upon it at a venture,
but we cannot return by choice. If it is
a wife that has proved unworthy, men
compassionate the Ms, because there is
a tie, they say, which we cannot get
rid of. But has the heart no ties ? Or
if it is a child, they understand it. But
is not true love a child ? Or when anoth
er has become a part of ourselves, "where
w e must or have no life at all," can tear
them from us in an instant? No; these
- bargains are for life ; and that for which
our souls have sighed for years cannot
be forgotten with a breath, and without a
pang.—Hazlitt,
The New Library of Law and Equity
M'KINLEY & LE SC lIRE, propose to pub-
fish by subscription a periodical law-work un
der the foregoing - title;to consist of the best
productions of the press of England, - under the
direction of Fraser' J. TECIIIIIAT Esq., of
Philadelphia, Ron. Elms Layne Of Lancas
ter, and Viruses M'CAsnr.sss, Esq., of Pitts
burg.
This work will contain the beat productions
of English law authors, without regard to pri
ority of claim on the part of any American
publisher. Such books are now notoriously
_too dear. Thereason is, that as fast as they ap- • I
pear they become monopolies in the hands of
booksellers in the Atlantic cities. Under the
the plea of right acquired by the addition of
of notes of American decisions, the latter claim
an undivided title to those works and set a bur
thensome price on them. The publishers of
the work now offered to the profession through
out the Union, will not respect such titled, but
will reprint the standard and British law books
as fast as they emanate from the London mar
ket. Should new editions of the works of such
writers as Starkie, the Chittys; Stephen; and
Archbold, appear they shall also be included;
and DIGESTS of Equity end Law decisions—
works which have been studiously kept out of
the Law Library published at Philadelphia—
shall have a place in the proposed new one, to
.gether with every new valuable English "trea
tise on Chancery or Common law.
07Thia work will ,be boned • monthly. in
numbers of 160 pages, printed on Fins
WINITZ netts AND GOOD NEW LONG PRIXIII
Tres, at seven dollars per annum, payable half
,yeirly. The first number will be published on
or about the first of May next.'
