To all Concerned. We would call the attention of some of our subesribers, and especially certain Post Mas ters, to the following reasonable, and well set tled rules of Law in relation to publishers, to the patrons of newspapers. the law of newspapers. 1. Subscribers who do not gio express no tice to the contrary, are considered as wishing m rnniimtfl ihnir subscriptions. - 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their papers, the publishers may continue to; send them till all arrearap.es are paid - i 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take iheir papers from the offices to which they are directed, they are ield responsible till they have settled their bill, and ordered their papers discontinued. 4. If subscribers remote, to other places with out informing the publishers, and their piper is sent to the former direction, they are held re sponsible. 5. The courts have decided that refusing to take a newspaper or periodical from the office, or removing and leaving it uncalled for, i3 "pri jna facie" evidence of intentional fraud. Honest and Happy. There's much in the world that is doubtful There's much we shall ne'er understand Why virtue shoald live in a Poorhouse, And vice on "the tat of the land." For those who are fretful and peieviah This duty remains to fulfil But try to be honest arid happv, And let the vtorld do as it will. The poor man who waks upon crutches May often be envied, far more Than he who in splendid apparel , Can shut on the beggar his door. He cares not for claret and sherry Of venison he has not his fill, Yet tries to be bonesl and happy. And lets the world do it will. lie boasieth no lordly possessions, No livery at table to wait He maketh no hollow professions To cheat his friends, sooner or late ; He ruins no bard-working tradesman, Who gets but a curse for his bill But tries to be honest and happy, And lets the world do as it will. The frail one who roams through the city, The jest of the thoughtless and gay, No folly to him can attribute, No charge to his memory lay. He breaks not the heart of a father, He seeks not the injured to kill .But strives to be. honest and happy, And Jets the world do as it will. He joins not the bowl or the wassail He seeks not the gambler or sot Contentment and health are the blessings That daily recur to his lot. And whilst in the midst of his children Good precepts he tries to instil He shows th&t he's honest and happy, And leta the world do as it will. Oh! who then would grumble at fortune, Though sorrow and toiling betide? The man that with wealth is a villain, Might be virtuous were it deuied. Toq much may o'erburden and sink you, Too little oft keep you from ill Then try to be honest and happy, And let the world do as it will. The man who with plenty it, honest, Hath little to ask for :his name ; But he who, though humble, is upright, Shall live in the annals of fame ! - i The vicious may mock at his mcm'ry, But ages will think on him still Then dare lo be honeal and happy, And lei ihe world do as it will. Whatever your fate or your station, To God and your country be true; Love those who have proved to be faithful, And laugh at what malice can do. And then when afiliction o'ertakes von. And death scorns at medicine's skill, You'll fall asleep honest and happy, Yes let the world do what it will. From the X. Y Herald. Chronicles-Chap. XXXVII. a chapter not rou.vD IN THE old D00K. A Scriptural Review of the Oregon Question from the day of President Polk's Annual Mes sage to eo7igress. to the final recommendation of the Notice. 1. And it came to pass, in the first .year of the reign of Polk, whose surname was Young Hickory, and in the tenth month thereof, 2. That he sent a message to the Great San hedrim of the seven and twenty tribes of the children of Jonathan, assembled in their chief city. 3. And the chief ruler set forth that the Phil- Jstines had sent a messenger, named Richard, 1 f a mm to conler wiin Ms cinel councillor upon the ui- viding of the lull country which is called Ore gon, which lieth upon the Great Sea of the West. 4. For in that the chief government had sent out spies, like the children of Israel, to spy out the land of their inheritance. 5. And they had relumed, having found high mountains and great rocks, and a mighty river, flowing to the setting sun. 6. But the country was not over spontaneous, inasmuch as the spies had to subsist chiefly upon dog soup and roots ; and finally they made a sort of hash of their mules-. 7. But inasmuch as the country abounded in harbors for ships, and quarries of rock, and had a great river, it was esteemed by the spies a great country. 8. How be it, some of ihem desired not to go j I again, tne nair oi tne uogs sum Having aneciea their health. j 9. And the Capiain, whose name was Free- mnnt. smnll nf tfitnr. hnt a man of valnr. ! " I T " - 1 10. Having explored the country, from the j le sea, reported it a great couri-1 mountains to tne sea, report try; and having spoke in high terms of ihe flesh pots of Oregon, to wit the dog soup of ihe Flat I Head Indians. ! 1 1. Whose heads were flattened from reason , of the great rains in the rainy season, beating all the hair off their heads, and flattening them by reason of the hail stones. 12. And Polk, in his message to the Great Sanhedrim, said that he had offered Richard ofan 'e: the Philistines one half of Oregon to the north- ward, because ihe chief rulers of Jonathan had ; offered it before. 13. But in that Richard h au reitiscci in ntgii ' dudgeon, Polk proclaimed, by reason thereof, that his title was good to ihe whole. 14. And sent to the Great Sanhedrim divers papers to prove it. 15. Now ihe Great Sanhedrim was composed of two assemblies the one was numerous and noisy and called the House of Representatives, or in the vulgar tongue, the House of Rips; ihe other was a body of the chief'pricsls of all the tribes, called the Senate. 16. But ihere were men in boih Houses noi sy for war ; because they imagined the people would like ihe sound of great guns, and the trampling of great horses over their corn fields. 17. And it came to pass that these men moved in both Houses that ihe Philistines, who had, by reason of agreement, held a joint use of Oregon, be ordered to leave. 18. Though it was known they would go to war, rather than be kicked out of the wilder ness without their consent. 19. And those who had nothing to lose among the tribes from war as well as those out of the Congress as in it, spoke in loud voices, lhai the honor of Jonathan demanded he should go to battle, in the hope of dividing the spoils. 20. And there was an old councillor in the House, whose name was Adams, and who had been a chief ruler, and who had offered the Philistines half of the wilderness, who now proclaimed thai Jonathan's right was good to W 1 (he whole, and that it would disgrace him to give an inch to the enemy. 21. And the men of war in the house Hailed him with great applause'; and the peace men stood in alarm. 22. And in the Senate there was a younger delegate of the tribe, of Ohio, named Allen a mighty man of war on paper, who walked forth like Goliah of Gath, and liefied the Philistines and the Gauls, and all the kingdoms of the world together. 23. Ilowboit he was restrained from decla ring war against the whole world', by the voice of the Senate. . 24. And after many weeks, the House passed the notice for the Philistines to leave, and the war men were in the ascendant. 25. Notwithstanding, the Senate had yet to say yea or nay, to the voice of the House. 2G. And the war party, in the beginning, in the Senate, derided the men of pqace as cow ards, and as traitors ; and the people, jealous of their rights, looked on in doubt, and the peace men bowed their heads in silence, and in trib ulaiion of spirit. 27. But the Chief Councillor of the tribe of South Carolina', named Calhoun; deputed by them to plead for peace, stood up in the face of his enemies, and defined his position. 28. And Coiquittjof the Georgians ; and Hay wood, a gallant man of (he tar burners of North Carolina; and Mang'um, whose surname was Willie, rallied in the debate. 29 And a sreat discussion between the war! party and the men of peace succeeded, and was prolonged for many days. 30. And Colquitt handled Bieese of Illinois without gloves, showing that though a man of peace, ihe Georgian would suffer no man to "snub him with a want of nerve." 31. And Breese was as gentle thereafter as the summer winds among the roses of Sharon. 32. And Allen declared lhai the " hearts of . the people must be prepared for War," and pro claimed that the Philistines were as weak as the "unborn infant reposing in the lap of the past," and they were cowards who would not ; go to war lor ihe whole or none. 33. And Calhoun twigged him, and Colquitt ied him, and Mangu.m twigged him, and ; j he was scored on every hand by ihe he was scored on every hand by ihe men of Peacc 5 oul sun ne s 80 lal s appeared but still he stood aloft in great dignity,! .

Their costume generally consists of a Chaldaic, signifieth too soon for your comfort, 38. Meantime Bentoh, surnamed Old Bullion, for his love of gold and silver, came out for a division of Oregon and for peace. 39. And Cass, a bona fide General came into contact with him, in which the General burot his boiler, and great was the explosion. 40. And llanncgan came to his aid With great fvy, but Benton regarded him as an old lion regardeih a young lion who hath not yet a mane. 41. And the war rneh stood aghaslj for they had looked, peradventure, to the support of Ben ion, a great high priest among ihe tribes of Jon athati. 42. After which, M'Duffie, the right-haud man of Calhoun, described the country in dis pute as a region blasted by tho God who made it ; and showed ihe title of Philistines to be good to a part, from the settlements of the Hudson Bay men; 43. A species of men who fatten upon such things as pine bark, fish oil and new whiskey ; 44. A wiery set of men, who deal in skins of beavers, miking a savory dish of their meat. 45. And after that, Daniel, surnamed the God-like, gave notice that he would speak of the lesser Daniel and Charles Jared, of ihe other assembly of the great Sanhedrim. , 46. And the next week, the aforesaid Daniel fp'oke for two days, waxing wanner and warm er, until at length he denounced Charles Jared a liar, and ihe lesser Daniel the endorser of a liar. , 47. And Daniel, of Yoik state, essayed to reply, and did as well as could be expected ; having gained the great point of satisfying him self that Daniel the God-liko 48. Was a U3ed-up expounder of ihe Consti tution. ... 49. And the debate at last was brought to an end; and the Senate was about to speak for peace, for the men of peace had waked strong er and strougef, and the war men had waked weaker and weaker, like Saul of old. 50. And Allen, seeing that the notice to the Philistines would be. such as to lead to "an amicable adjustment," ,'51. Rebuked the Senate, and declared that " his voice was still for war." , 52. And Crittenden, of the Hunters of Ken tucky, reproved the great war chief b'e'fore lite world, and reduced him lo submission. 53. And the peace men took tho notice out of the war pariy, and passed It as a measure of Per?eM . i . . ...,,.,, 54. But ihe House disagreed, and arbitrators 'ere ordered between them, and Allen was ruled out of ihe arbitration of ihe Senate, and the Senate carried tho day with the arbitrators of ihe House; and they roporied so, and the measure was adopted as a measure of peace. 55. And the war men were constrained to be "silent before the common sense of the great Sanhedrini. , 56. And Jerusalem was saved, and the Greeks dispersed ; and peace, like an angel of light, spread her beautiful and .shining wings over the four quarters of the earlh. 57. And it came to paas that there was a lea,y between the Philistines and the tribes of j Jonathan ; 2nd tho nation greatly prospered. Respectfully, The Docto'A.
