Bryant, speaking of newspapers "Books are the ppecious metals in masses— newspapers coin them for general use, put theth In the inost convenient forms and pass them from hand to hand." "Newspapers.he said, "are the ushers of books; who would .know that a book was publiihed but for the friendly information of the newspaper?" lle added, "that he had been sometimes tempted to regret that the wise, witty or eloquent Things which appeared in these 'folios of four pages,' as they are called by Cowper, should not be inscribed on more durable tables, instead of going the next morning to wrap up parcels .or light kitchen fires; but he was fully satisfied with their fate, when he reflected thatthey had first been read by thousands; and whatever was good in them had passed into the general mind:" The Boundaries. As the newly acquired territory is at length -definitely parceled out and arranged, it may be well to state the boundaries of each separate jurisdiction. First, we have the boundary be tween Texas and New Mexico. It is believed That Texas will readily assent to it. 11 begins at the intersection of the Ioth par :allot of longitude with lat. 36 deg.;3o m., and - thence runs due West along said parallel of lat itude to lon. 11133; thence South on said meridi an of longitude to latitude 32; thence South erly down the Rio Grande to the Gulfof Mexico. Territory of New Illexico.—Beginning at a point on the Colorado river ; where the bounda ry line with the Republic of Mexico crosses the same; thence .eastwardly with the said boundary line to the Riotrande ; thence fo'- loWing the main channel of said river to the parallel of the thirty-second degree of north lat itude; thence east with said degree to its inter section with the one hundred and third degree of longitude west of Greenwich; thence north with said degree of longitude to the parallel of thirty-eighth degree of- north latitude; thence west with said parallel to the summit of the Sierra Madre; thence south with the crest of said mountains to the thirty-seventh ,parallel of north lat.; thence west with said parallel to.its intersection with the boundary line of the State of California. • Territory of Utah.—Bounded on the west by the !tate of California; on the north by the Ter ritory of Oregon, on the east by the summit of the Rocky Mountains; on the south by lat. 37 deg. The acts of Congress providing for the or ganization of those Territories expressly stipu late that when admitted into the Union as States they shall be . admitted with or without slavery, as their constitutions may prescribe at the time cf their admission. They may each be divid ed into two or more Territories, should Con gress so determine, or any pO'rtion of either or both of them may be attached to any other State or Territory of the United States, ac-• cording to the judgemenOthe same authority. State of Ca/f/brnia.—Briiinded on the North by (lat.. 92) Oregon Territory, on the West by the Pacific ocean, on the South by Mexico, and on the East as follows, viz: beginning at the intersection of lat. 42 with lon. 120; thence running Southerly along said meridian of lon gitude to lat. 39 ; thence Southeasterly in a straight lino to the river Colorado, at the point where it intersects lat. 35; thence down the middle of the channel of said river to the Mex-. ican boundary. • Thua It will be seen that the State of Califor nia occupies all the Pacific coast from Oregon to Mexico, some 800 miles, with an average breadth of probably 250 miles. The Territory of Utah lies between the State of California and the Territory of New Mexico, but extends Southward only to latitude 87. South of that parallel, the Territory of Now Mexico ex tends to the State of California. Utah is, .therefore, bounded South and East by New Mexico. • Eleotion Points. The Court of Common Pleas of Philadel phia, on Saturday last, decided that a tax col lector of Moyamensing, ind a United States Deprity Marsha), resident in Penn District, are not eligible to act as inspectors of election. No State, County or municipal officer, is eligible to such elation, or can act if . he afterwards ac quire's the office.

'rhe committee then reported the follow- log:resolutions. Resolved, That we adhere to the resolutions passed at the late Whig County meeting—that no nominations be made by the Whig party for the various County offices to be filled at the coming election, and that we win support none but volunteer candidates for those offices.

This change is of considerable importance, and merits close examination. Will it secure for. us us good judges as the present system? This appears doubtful under the influence of that unrelenting party spirit that now actuates our political organizations. The pure and mutant melted administration of justice requires to be learned, upright and independent. W'ithout profound knowledge of the law it cannot be properly expounded —without uprightness it tenders them obnoxious to the charge of cor ruption. To be impartial, it should be Mile pendent. The working of political ructions too plainly shows the danger of entrusting such an office to their machinations. Tact is more sue cessful than ability and. virtue in the arena of politics. intellectual and moral worth are not first principles in determining the candidate of a party. Every lawyer is not :fit far n judge, any more than every voter is fitted to be a.jus tice of the peace. ..incompetency is an evil party spirit too often winks al. lo some di s . trricts it would, perhaps, be difficult to choose a proper candidate, because he is 'not there.— The present plan of submitting nominations for the confirmation of the Legislature, is more likely to induce proper pen-oris to the office than the too often capricious choice by the pop ular vote. So thinks a correspondent of the Pottstown Ledger. Stook Cattle • The cry of the cattle drover is heard all over the Parkersburg, Virginia road, and hundreds have lately passed through our town to the pas. tures oficlarlte,Loudoun, and Fauquier. From 10,000 to 16,000 are annually fattened on the pastures or the last county alone. A drove of three or four hundred, an ,installment of nine hundred collected •in western Missouri, passed througliOn last week on their way to Lecd's Manor, 'under the management of Mr. McCor. wick, the great dealer in stock cattle. They gen erally cost from $lB to $22 a head, and the pur chaserecalculate on doubling their money at the end of the year. The profit to Fauquier county from grazing alone, amounts to $300,000.-- drafer Americtra:.

Vice Pretidents We have veceived the October number of this popular periodical, and find it fully redeem ing the promises of excellence made In pre vious issues. It contains, in all, fourteen em bellishments, among Which Ere a handsomely colored print of a Venitian scene, a beautiful line engraving, by Johnson, entitled "Joseph and his Brethren," and a portrait of . Col. Fre mont. Thiiliterary matter, of which there is u sumptuous supply and variety, is contributed by such pens as those of Benjamin, Poe, Mrs. C. H. Butler, Mary Hewitt, Harriet Martineau, and Mrs. C. M. Kirkland. A song by Jeffreys, music by Glover, adds to the merits of this ad mirable publication. The Pittsburg Post has a letter giving an ac count of a discovery made by a young man by the name of Adams, the Assistant Manager of the Brady's Bend Iron Works, in Clarion coun ty, in the manufacture of railroad and merchant bars front Coke metal. By the old method the rails were made with Charcoal pig, and would crack very much and break with one or two blows. By Adams' process, Iron can be made from eight to ten dollars per ton lower, and of a superior quality. The process is not mentioned, but the quality 01 the iron produced is.spoken of. The writer of the letter was shown a rail that had been put to . the severest test, by putting it, while hot, into cold water; after which they tried to break it with a sledge hammer weighing 80 pounds. Forty blow.; were given by six men al ternately, and they could not even crack it• The Charcoal Iron of the company costs from 18 to ::2 dollars per ton, their "Coke Metal" costs only from 9to II dollars per ton. The discovery had caused quite an excitement among the workmen, for they were under the impression that the works would have to suspend on aoconnt of the low price of Iron. Looking back a few years, the growth of Mil wankie appears almost fabulous. In '34, only sixteen years ago, Solomon Juneau was the sole white male inhabitant of the town. In the spring of that year, the first frame building was put up here. Even In 1840, but ten years ago, Milwau• kie could only number about seventeen hundred inhabitants.

The Mercury, how ever, contends that the convention will meet on on the l tilt of Novemlwr next, with or without the call of the President, and urges the election of delegates.

It was, heyoniPeEnestion, treasonable in tone and in temper, and intended to fan the flame of disaffection in the fSortih.— 'the 'burst of indignation which followed its ap pearance in print, has, it would seem, produced bat'little effect upon the mind of its author. Mr. Rhett recently made his appearance at Water ho'ro; S. C., and embodied his Views in a still More objectionable manner. According to a correspondent of the Charleston Mercury, Mr. -Rhett said : • "We must secede; South Cal:dint Will lead Of Georgia will go with her, Alalmina kill soon follow, and Mississippi will not be long be hiad her, for "she is not all Foote,•but has some heart and soul," and this will he but the begin. sting; within eighteen months we sball.have the whole South with us, and more than that; we will extend our borders, we will have New Mex ico, Utah., and 'California.

It had its origir2 in the carelesstA•ss of a teamster, who was tending his horses in the stable of Geisse's tavern, on Centre street, above Market. It consumed the whole row of stables on that side of the. street, and all the shops and offices on Market street to Thompson's store, which was saved. Mills' tavern, on the opposite side of the street from Geisses' stable, was Also destroyed ; and considerable injury was done to the Methodist church adjoining. The property lost is to. be regretted chiell, for the immediate inconvenience of the occupants. Otherwise, like the large fire on Centre street, it will put substantial and good looking buildings in the place of those old unsale and unsightly rooke, ties. The legal proceedings in the snit of N.
