of another-oyster difficulty in the waters
of the bay near that place. A party of
-Draggers," as they are termed, were in
fringing upon the rights of the State by
dragging oysters at the - mouth of the An

boats fully manned. The Sheriff, with a
posse comitatus, proceeded to the place to
arrest them. The ..aggressors, Rays the
Herald, "refused to submit to the officer
of the law, and imeneclidtely prepared to
escape. To prevent this, with a view of
intimidating them, blank cartridges were
fired upon the party, which they returned
with ball upon the Sheriffs party, wound
ing Mr. Tull, of Anuamessex. The Sher
iff's party returned the fire, wounding two.
After some hours chasing, four boats were
captured. mantle& by fifteen men, twelve
of whom paid the fine imposed by law—
the remaining three are now in jail. By
the law, the boats, with vll the effects on
board, are forfeited."

* * * • The question is still
frequently and anxiously asked "will there
be wail' And as often as asked, I would
reply "No." Why? Because the Admin
istration cannot plunge the country into ,
a Witr, after all that has taken place, with
outriti erly prostrating themselves, and be
caitsit they declare most positively that
therelvill be no war, and evince, their con
fidence in the continuance' f peace, by whol
ly negleCting to make the least preparation
for a rupture. The Administrationcertain
ly occupy, and have placed the country, in
a very 'curious ,and extraordinary position.
In the first place they proclaim that our ti
tle to the whole of Oregon is t'clear and in
disputable," and therefore offer to give up
nearly six degrees of latitude, and run the
line upon the 40th degree. This offer be
ing rejected, they withdrew the proposi
tion,•
in a put, one of their friends declaring
upon the-floor of the House of Represen
tative, that it never.wouldhave been made
but that they knew, every-body nnit
have known, that it ,wentld be rejected!
[Query—lf our title to the whole were
"clear and indisputable," how could every
body have known that England would re
ject an offer which gave her nearly six de
grees_of territory to which our title was so
clear m not to be disputed?]
In the next place England offers to sub
mit the question of an equitable division
of the territory to arbitration. Mr. Buchan
an, very properly, rejects it, but makes no
other. Mr. Pakcuham then meets the ob
jection rased-against this offer, by propo
sing to leave the question of title to arbi
tration, the arbitrators to he, if we prefer
it, a commission of distinguished citizens,
ofboth countries, with an umpire, or aboard
of distinguished Jurists or eivillians. This
liberal, fair, unexceptionable offer, is prompt
ly..rejected and the British government !law
Mumma that we will not' arbitrate the
question in any way whatever.
After all this; our government„ or those
who are supposed to speak for them, con.
tinuc to proclaim that will have the
M
whole of Oregon, ott they know we
must fight for it if we get it, andin the same
breath declare that we shall have no war,
and take no steps to maintain our title to the
whole of Oregon ! What, under all these
circumstances, are we to think No won
derthe country i 4 putzled and knows not
what to think. I am, however, satisfied
that We shall-have no war; that the admin.
istration will endeavor. to 'settle the ques
tion by negotiation, and are: willing, , not
w ithstand ing the cthilident manner in which
they claim the - whole, to accept of a part
of the territory. ..And I believe that, Eng
land, when she seas what she may expect
from the party now in power, in the way
of free trade, will be more and more colic =
itous to come to an-amicable adjustment of
the Oregim question, and will be extremely
forbearing in reference to thebluater, the
vaingloriousness, and the vatnivig we may
exhibit * , and the provoking langnarre that
may be used by the Aliens, in and out of
Congress. We shall eventually settle the
boundary line on 49 degrees with equiva
lents on both sides, and a reduction of our
duties down to the rate proposed . in Walk
er's bill.
"The whole territory of Oregon," says
the Manchester (Eng.) Guardian, "is not
worth six month's unrestricted trade be
tween the two countries." If this be the
opinion of the British Government, .as I
suppose it is, or something like it, no won
der that our government, being willing to
bring about this "unrestricted, trade,"
spsak so confident of the continuance of
peace. Here, I think, will be found the
secret of that confidence upon which they
arc acting. But surely, never government
stood in such an Vrienviable attitude be
fore its own people and before the world,
as ours does at this moment, and their own
friends feel and confess it. It cannot go a
head and sustain its own declarations ; it
cannot standstill without shame, and it can
not back out without disgrace—not to the
country, but to itself.
It is now stated, and upon very high
authority, that the minor. of negotiations go
ing on, which has been current here some
days past, is without foundation. That
Mr. Pakenham has not submitted any new
propoSition, and will not make any farther
communication until after the arrival of the

"This first company will consist of a

through as fast as possible, until they reach
the base of the mountains, which they say
they can do by the time grass is up. here
they will halt and commence farming op- .
erations. They will put in as large a crop
as possible, and_remain until the summer
emigrants come up. The object of this
expedition is to raise something for the
summer emigrants to recruit on, while on
their journey. We learn that on Monday

The Snow Storm
On last Saturday and Sunday seems to have
tended to the East, where it raced with great. vio
lence. Tn - Philadelphia a number of shade trees
were much injured, while along the sea•coast the
shipping' sustained much damage. The N. York
papers give' accounts of the wreck --of, : a large
number of vessels and the destruction of upwards
Of sixty lives!
The same storm extended to the South, doing
considerable damage to vessels along the coast of
Carolina. In the city of Charleston' the water
rose to the depth of four feet in some of the streets.
ANOTlTER.—Yesterday afternoon about four
oclock, we were visited by another regular "north

Congress.
.'There is but little of interest to record in the
.deliberations of the .NatiOnal Legislature, this
week. Since the Oregon question has been dispo
sed of in the House that body has devoted its prin
cipal attention to matters of private and minor
•
interest.
It is understood that the Committee of Ways
and Means have prepared a new Tariff Dill, to be
reported in aty days—which. of course, will once
more make the House the theatre of attraction.
The Bill is said to Uve been modelled by Mr.
Walker, its details according with that gentle
man's well known views upon the Tariff.
The Senate is occupied with the Oregon cods
tion, and able speeches have been already made by
Messrs. Allen, Clayton, Hannegan, COlquitt, and
others. The speech of Mr. Clayton was in reply
Mr. Allen, and is spoken of in very high terms.—
Considerable anxiety is manifested to know the
final action of the Senate. "Oliver Oldschool,"
the intelligent and observing correspondent of the
U. States Gazette, writing from Washington, on
the 13th inst. says :
presume the people are anxious to
know what the Senate is likely to do in
regard to authorizing the notice to be given
or giving it themselves. My own opinion
is, that it will authorise the President to
give the notice, either at his discretion as
to when it shall be given, or, as Mr. Crit
tenden proposes, any time after the adjourn
ment of Congress. But that this authori
ty will be accompanied by a declaration,
in some form or other, that the differences
of the two countries in regard to Oregon
arc a proper subject for honorable negotia-_
tion, and ought to be by that means adjust
ed. Several Senators, who, have hereto
fore been opposed to giving "the notice in
any form, after Mr. Clayton's speech, de
clared their readiness to_go for it in some
such shape; among these was Mr. Mc-
Duffle. More. than half; possibly two
thirds of the Whig Senators, will go for it,
if I any not deceived, 'and for the reasons,
generally, expressed by Mr., Clayton.
rrit billeted that President Polk has announced.
his determination not take the responsibility of
arranging the Oregon difficulty on any line less
than . sl° 40'—that if the British'offer any thing
less he *mild refo;the question to Congress.

The Senate, during most of its sittings, fras l had
under consideration, the Bill yielding the Right
of Way to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Corn•
pany, and a number of Fpeeclics have been made
pro and con without any symptons as yet of the
debate drawing to a close. ,
Not to be behind hand with the Senate, the
House took up the bill giving the Right. Way
to the New York and Erie Company, and have
been debating it for some days.
On Friday last, in House, Mr. Ladley, from the
Committee on Vice and Immorality, reported a
general bill subm'itting the License question to a
vote of the people.
On the same day Mr. Magehan introduced a
Joint resolution for an amendment to the consti

Judges. Hope it may pass.
On Tuesday the House passed through a third

On Tuesday, in the House of Representatives,
Mr. PIOLETT, of Cambria, rose and asked leave to
address the House in 'regard to a personal matter.
Leave having been granted, Mr. P. stated, in effect,
that he had been approach& by a person of the,
name , of M'Cook, who represented himself to be
a citizen of Ohio, and solicited Mr. Piolett's influ
ence, as a- member of the Committee on Banks,
in the case of the investigation of the Lehigh
county Bank.
This M'Cook had first called on him and sug
gested that some person should be named through
whom the matter could be accommodated; when
he (Mr.) referred him to a future interview, at
which, by the advice of friends, he concluded to
accept the sum offered—ssoo, four hundred of
which was to be paid down. On that morning,
.:i...
M'Cook had called upon him and counted demi
$4OO npon his table.. Mr. Piolett their called in
Mr. Henry Buehler, to witness the transaction,
who counted over the money and tied it up in a
package, and he (Mr. P.) now presented it to the
Speaker.
Mr. Piolett having resumed his seat, Mr.
r.Bur
-11--
r iose, and remarked that he was one of the
f, nds referred to by Mr.P. as having advised hini
to allow M'Cook to pay the money, so as to make
the proof conclusive. He then offered a preamble
setting forth the facts as stated, and a resolution
directing the Speaker to issue his warrant for the
arrest of Daniel M'Cook, and the Sergeant-at-arms
to proceed at once and arrest this said M'Cook
wherever he may find him. The resolution was
unanimously adopted.
In the afternoon . ' the 'Speaker informed the
House; he had issued his warrant for the arrest of
Mr. Cook, and that the Sergeant-at-arms had re
turned the same informing the speaker, that Mr.
Cook was then at the bar of the House. He was
remanded into the custody of the Sergeant-at-arms
until further orders from the House.
. Messrs. Knox, Trego, Galloway, Guin, and .
Nicholson, were appointed a committee to inves
tigate the matter and report to the House. It is
proper to remark that all the individuals im
plicated are Locofoeos. .
Mr. Gibbons and his Slanderers.
During the discussion of the bill giving the
Right of Way to the Baltirnore and Ohio Rail-road,
on Monday,. Mr. Gin arms, of Philadelphia, took
the floor and" addressed the Senate in an able and
eloquent speech in favor of the Bill and in opposi.
tion to the proposed Central Rbute via Harrisburg.
He concluded a manly defence of himself against,
the malignant asp'ersons of his enemies called
forth by his course upon this q!..,testion, with the
following bitter and indignant invective :
„ Now, Mr. Speaker, I have done ; and if
I have sacrificed myself, be it so. It has
been done for the good of the Com
monwealth. I have been accused of ve

Our limited space renders an extended notice of
the different performances impossible. We can
only remark that the exercises thrOughout were
in every way creditable to those concerned, and
seemed to give general satisfaction to the densely
crowded audience. The efforts of the young gen
tlemen selected as the representatives of the Socie.
ty gave evidence that ri good use had been made of
the too often negleCted privileges placed within
the reach of those pursuing a course of academ
ical study. Barring a few sentiments to which
we could not subscribe, the themes severally cho•
son by the speakers were discussed with a judi
ciousness of thought and excellence of style that
secured the commendation of those whom the oc
casion had assembled together.
As to the music with which the audience was
favored during the intervals of the different exer
cises, when we say that it wits furnished by "The
Haydn Association" of this place. We believe we
are according to it the best eulogy. The pubic•
have been so frequently indebted' to the same
source for exquisite music on • similar occasions,
as to' render altogether superfluous any thing com
mendatory of its excellence. To say that the
music on the present occasion was of a high or
der, or that, in The opinion of many, it even sur
passed the former efforts of the same Association,
cannot in any way add to the acknowledged' skill
or its members, or the superior merit of their per
formances. It may not be improper to remark in
justke to our friend, Prof. GILLESPIE, that this
portion of the evening exercises was conducted
by that gentleman, as President of the Association.
Slavery... Kidnapping.
117 - The. Miltonian, published at Milton, Nor
thumberland county, states that on the 10th inst.
that peable and quiet borough was thrown into
quite arWproar by the appearance of four negroes
hand-cutfed, two together, driven through the
streets by three men on horseback-, one tarrying
a riffle and tomahawk! The negroes were rep
resented to be runaway slaves from Maryland. and
were pursued by the men who bad them in charge
for the reward. They were taken at Monteurs
ville, Lycoming county, and were brought to
Milton, where the persons who hail them in charge
were arrested as kidnappers and taken before Jiis
rice. Mackey. After a hearing they were commit
ted to jail to answer the charge; and the negroes
ordered to be set at liberty, which for some cause
or other was not done. The negroes were also ar
rested on a charge of theft, and taken before Jus
tice,Wheeland, who, after giving them a hearing,
committed them to jail. The negroes and negro
catchers were all lodged in jail at Sunbury the
same day, where they will remain until the mat
ter is investigated. "What has the North to do
with slavery?"
The Presidency.
On the 12th inst. while the Tariff Resoldtions
were under discussion in the Senate, Mr. SA:4P . M..
sox, of Lebanon, made an able speech, in which
the inconsistencies and hypocrisy of L9cofocoistit
in its dealings with the great question of Trotec
tion to American Industry, were exposed in mas
terly style. He concluded with the following'al
hision to the next Whig candidate for the Presi
dency- :
The Senator from Clearfield has refer
red to the letters and speeches of the dis
tinguished statesman of Ashland, and has
read extracts from them as a set off to the:
remarks of my friend, the Senator from
the city, on the inconsistency of the Demo-'
cratic party. I avail myself of this oppor-'
tunity to inform that Senator, that, unless
I mistake the signs of the tires, the Whig
party in the approaching struggle of 1848,
will rally under the banner of one against.
whom extracts, from those speeches and
letters will be read without effect. Ye:
sir ! the Whigs arc about chosing for
themselves a standard bearer, in the per ,
son of the gallant and scar-marked Her 4
of Chipcwa, Lundy's Lane and Bridgewa'
ter, whose deeds of valor and noble daring
need but be brought to the notice of apa
Iciotic•people, to secure his elevation ti
the. Presidential chair by an avalanche o
popular sentiment, like that.which secure'
the election of the lamented Harrison.

Mr. MINOR, of "The Senit Liter*. Messen
ger," having purchased Sziiic•t "Sontheiri and
Western M'onthly Magazine and Review," the two
publications have been blended•intoihe aSouthern
Literary Messenger and Review." The January
No. is upon our table, and opens the new volume
in fine style. The contents extend through 64
large pages, embracing Poetry; Tales, Sketches of
Travel, Biography, Reviews Critiques, &c., and
upon the whole develops the high merit which has
generally characterized the contributions to the
"Messenger." Those who wish a magazine,
which, while it devotes due attention to the de
partment of Light Literature, does not close its
pages to able discussions upon historical, scientific
and political themes,—one reflecting the Southern
tone of policy relative to National and Domestic
Institutions—will find the "Messenger and Review"
well worthy of support." - •
The present No. contains a lengthy and severe,
yet, in the main, judicious, Review of Mr. Ixexa
viiis History of the War. We make the follow
ing extract, as a specimen. The writer is speak
ing of tha numerous and extended narrations of
minor and irrevelant incidents that occur in Mr.
re wOrk . •
" The fifth ehaptei, entitled "Indian
Warfare," is taken up.sicclusively by an ac
count of Walk in the Water's tradition of
an Indian canoe light on Lake Erie, many
centuries ago. This flight of fancy has
not the remotest connexion With the text,
possesses no juiciest what / ever, and is writ
ten in a style, which would hardly secure
it admission into one of our Annuals, La
dy's Books, or Parlor Comp - anions. We
owe, perhaps, its appearance- now to its
rejection by some fastidious editor of a
fourth-rate periodical:, However this may
be, there are certainly grounds for suspicion, 1
that Mr. Ingersoll has been in the habit of
keeping a common-place book, to which
he occasionally. resorts for tine paragraphs,
wherewith to tesselate his narrative. We
' quesdowNot his right to withdraw thus his
deposits front the . Savings Bankbut we
) protest against their being applied, not to
enrich,:but to. inerease - the size of'his_vol
unto. _
_On such a subject, and with such
abundant materials; theAitlictilty- wouldlre,
it seems to us, to eompfess. It is evident,
however,, that Mr: Ingersoll's object was to
make a portly octavo. Granting him con
siderable latitude for speculation, classical
allusion, portrait paintiegand anecdote, we
feel• assured that the evaporation of all
natter at one irrelevant and 'disliguring,to
'say nothing of abundant repetitions, would
.carry off fully ohe-third, and vastly im
prove,, in flavor 'and consistence, the re
mainder of the volume. In an age of uni
versal authorship, when not to have pub

Morris , National Prom
The first number of Gen. Moan's' new paper
bas j made its apppearance and is now,upon our ta
ble. A beautiful shect . it is, and as rich in the cfiar
acter of its contents as it is superior in its exter
nal dress. Miss Sarah J. Clarke, Grace Green
wood, John Neal,.Fanny Forreiter, Theodore S.
Fay and Edward Alartarin, are among the con
tributors, and furnish a sufficient ; pledge, in con
nection with the suFervisifin of its accomplished
Editor, that the Mirror is to be made what none
other than Gen. Morris could accomplish. If the
present number is to be regarded a kir specimen
of what is to come, we have no hesitation in pro
nouncing the "Mirror" No. 1 among the Literary
Weeklies and well worthy of support. We shall
avail ourselves from time to time of the privilege
extended by the Editor to the Brethren of the Edito
. rial corps by "helping ourselves" to the good things
of the Mirror. We commence with the follow
ing prettzsong by Gen. Morris himself:
Thou host woven the Spel)l.
Tho bast woven the spell that has bound me,
Through all the sad changes of years ;
And the smiles that I wore when I found thee,
• Have faded and melted in tears.
Like the poor 'wounded fawn from the mountain,
That seeks nut the clear sik;er tide,
I have lingered in vain at the fountain
Of hope—with a shaft in my side.
Thou bast taught me that hive's rosy fetters
A pang from the thorns may impart;
That the coinage of vows and of letters
Comes not from the mint of the heart.
Like the lone bird that flutters her pinion,
And warbles in bondage her strain,
I have struggled to fly thy dominion,
But find that the struggle is vain.

The Washington correspondent of the N. York
Evening Post (locofoco) thus describes the gene
ral character of the new bill :
"The Committee of Ways and Means
have received the tariff bill which, at its
request, the Secretary of the Treasury has
been some two months preparing. It was
sent down yesterday morning, (the 11th
instant.) I conversed for a few minutes
this evening with one of the
.gentlemen who
has been engaged in the laborious task of
preparing the bill. He informs me that
the changes which are proposed by it are
very radical indeed. All manufactures of
cotton are to come in at the rate of twefity
per cent. ad valorem. All specific duties
are abolished. The price or Cost is the
oulybasis of impost recognised in the bill.
S'e'fai as I can learn, the purpose of raiSi
revenue is strictly adhered to, and protec
tion is- wholly disowned. One uniform
rate is to be established for iron and the man
ufactures of iron, which is thirty per cent.
All Silks are twenty-five per cent. Sugar.
is thirty per cent."
There is truth and no fiction in the following
neat and appropriate article from the Salem Ga-
zette
"GRATUITOUS PRINTING. " —There is no

be asked, by the publisher who is to pay

THE PURE JUICE.-A city chemist in
New York not long since analysed a bot
tle of imported champaigne, sold as pure,
and found in it one quarter of an ounce of
sugar of lead. A writer in the
,Observer
states that a liquor dealer admitted to him
that on one occasion he purchased of a
country merchant a lot of whiskey, and be
fore the merchant left the city sold him
back a part of it manufactured into various
kinds of wine, at from one to five dollars
per gallon, taking care to supply his - Orders
for "communion wine" at five dollars per
gallon, to save appearances. ' .
MARS AND SATURN.—These beautiful
planets are just now in closer apparent
proximity than they can be again for many
years. They appear during the evening a
little west of the Meridian, and something
less than eighteen inches apart. Mars, as
usual, is red and fiery, and perhaps in
dignant at being caught in such company,
but Saturn is very white, very brilliant
and very cool.
