A Valuable Work.
We have received the first number of " Dr.
Lardner's Lectures," from the publishers,
Messrs. Greeley & McElrath, New York, and
take great pleasure in recommending the work
to the favorable notice of our readers. It era
braces a vast amount of information on the sub
jects of Astronomy, Electricity, Heat, Galvan
ism, Steam, &c. &c. It will be completed in
twelve numbers, at 25 cts. each, and form one
of the most valuable and entertaining works of
the day. Subscriptions received at this office.

A Strange Decision.
Some days ago, says the Mobile Hera!!,
Judge Bragg of the Circuit Court, now Minns,
decided that Texas was a part of the l States.
fhe question came up by a j'uror petitioning t
be excused from the performance of his assign
ed duty, on the plea that he was a citizen of
Texas. The Judge ordered him to take hi
seat in the box with the other eleven, giringfor
his reason, that Texas was a part of the Uniiw,
and all her citizens liable to be called upon ti
do duty as citizens of the United States.

alluding to this subject, that " the President of
the United States has no intention of closing the
door of any negotiation with Great Britain on
the Oregon question." What a vast amount of
patriotic assurance has been thrown away by
the locos upon this subject. It is really cruel
4in Mr. Polk to speak so ambiguously as to lead
vhisfrietids into suchierror. We insist that he
must not do it again.

The President has "honoured our neighbors
of Luzerne couniy, by making the following
appointments from among their number.

Wequote the above from the manifesto of the
new Government Organ, the " Union" be
cause it speaks "by authority" ihe sentiments
of the Administration in relation to lhe present
tariff. Those who live to see the next session
of Congress, will unquestionably witness a des
perate onslaught upon the Tariff of 1842. What
the result will be it is difficult lo sav; but it is
certain that no pains, nor management, nor cor
