He has always commanded very large audiences in the East ; but his lectures have far more interest to the hearer than to the reader, and would not give him the reputation as a writer which he has as an orator. “Ttaly! at whose tombs the poets of the . Christian world have knelt and received their inspiration—Italy! amid the ruins of whose forum the orators of the world have learned to sway the souls of men, and guide them, like the coursers of the sun, through all climes and seasons, changing darkness into light, and giving heat to the coldest clay—Italy ! from whose radiant skics the sculptor draws down the fire that quickens the marble into life, and bids it take those wondrous forms which shall perish only when the stars change into drops of blood and fall to earth—Italy ! where religion, claiming the noblest genius as her handmaid, has reared the loftiest temples to the-Divinity, and, with a pomp which in the temple of the Ciesars never shone, attracts the proudest children of the earth to the ceremonies of her immortal faith—Italy ! the brilliant, and the gifted—Italy!

Peace, loyalty, and debasement! A massof pauperism—shovelled off the land, stocked in fever sheds and poorhouses, shipped to Canadian swamps— rags, and pestilence, and vermin! Behold the rule of England, and in that rule behold humanity dethroned, and Providence blasphemed! To keep up this abomination, they enact their laws of felony. To sweep away the snmenient we must break through their aws, Should the laws fail, they will hedge in the abomination with their bayonets and their gibbets. These, too, shall give way before the torrent of fire which gathers in the soul of the people.

My Frienps :-— It is with a grateful heart that I acknowledge your kindness this evening. Your partiality has selected me as an object of honor by this demonstration, and while I must declare my own sense of unworthiness, I most sensibly feel the value of the courtesies you extend, as an endorsement of that line of conduct I have felt it my duty to pursue in my editorial capacity.

Allow me to say, I feel the present the proudest moment of my life. I should indeed be insensible were I untouched by the friendly demonstrations of this occasion. In them, I learn a lesson that ‘independence and perseverence, though for a time they may excite enmity, in the end must command the respect of the community. In the conduct of a paper in this county, I have laid down certain principles for my guidance, and I believe no one, not even my enemies, if such I have, will charge me with departing from these. ¥; . to fully establish in my ow . tions upon all exciting questi . that enlist attention. rst, n mind convicons, or questions (th Second, to receive advice from all, dictation from none.

To such an extent has the influence of the press Vindicated itself, that in this country, no more infallible test of the political, social and moral condition of a people can be found, than is supplied by the conditions under which its press acts, and the time it assumes. Wherever the press has uncontrolled action, then, governments of limited powers will be found,—a people that is prosperous, intelligent,and happy, and who keep a vigilant guard on their rights. But wherever despotism lifts its head, and spreads its deleterious influences, the first. enemy it assaults is the inrece: plotted, ouéf ur trai formed into # servile™instrument of power.

And how stands the spectacle. The Turk is as powerful when inspired by a feeling of noble aims, as when he battled only for domination. We have seen him break with an inferior force the serried files of Russia, and send the Bear back to his quarters after much rougher handling than suits his:majesty. In this gathering tempest, the nations of Europe, and especially the masses, look on with vital interest. In the raging elements, there is safety. The wars of Europe of the past one hundred years, have hastened the bringing in edge as they are turned up day by day by the ploughshare of experience and toil. Ambition, too, becomes you. It is your privilege, in our beloved country, todo whatever man has done or man may do. It is right that you should realize your privilege to tread in any path that leads to greatness or renown. “T know that the young mechanic frequently feels disheartened. He enters life without a flourish of the “family” trumpet. He bears no flaming letters of introduction all relative to what his father, his uncle, or some one of the same name, was, or did. He is to be the architect of his own fortune or fame. He is a stranger, and frequently feels like a pilgrim, too. He is a forcigner, for he comes up from the unknown walks of life; and thank God for these and such. He is not compelled to fritter and waste his genius, immolate his life in family pomp, parade and importance, in the genealogy of a defunct family, and bend his mind to science rather than to the mysterious genealogy of a “coat of arms.”? A noble spirit moves him—his soul is nerved by truth and thought. Butsociety discourages his approaches, although it telerates him in the abstract. Its language to him is— Through the war path alone lies the track of liberty. Better that blood flow over the throne than under it! By the contention of Princes and Kings, their power is diminished, the victor alike with the vanquished. The debts of Europe, incurred in these wars, though they bind capitalists to the existing order of things, are nevertheless guarantees and pledges for freedom. Only by war, open or covert, can the governments of Europe be maintained ; but such wars require expensive establishments, and as year rolls on year, and nations exceed their income, the time must come when they will pass the limit of endurance and fall. A general European war in this year of 1854, would leave many of the governments of Europe without means of quelling their own subjects to continued subjection. The most interesting aspect of this Turkish question is, that it must involve the governments of Europe in its progress, and thus open a door for the freedom of the people of Europe. No one can doubt that, were Russia humbled, Austria alone cannot keep in subjection its rebellious province of Hungary. It was on“Honor and wealth from no exertion rise, Cheat all you can, and tell as many lies.” Society, instead of surrounding him with. its real sympathies, taking him to its honors, and familiarizing him with clevating and ennobling associations, keeps him at a distance, until by act upon act, and triumph upon triumph, he has struggled up and fought his way into usefulness and renown. And it is truly painful to sec how many young men of glowing souls, thus discarded from the socicty of the virtuous and good, turn almost by instinctive necessity, to the downward path of ruin, and end the lives of usefulness and honor which they have proposed to society, but which it has rejected, in loose abandonment and shame. But be not dismayed, young man, when society leaves you alone, It thus rejected every one of the bright names that glow on the history of greatness. While the rejection has abandoned or ruined thousands, it only nerved the ambition of the earnest few, and the more certainly hurried them on to greatness. Nothing is stable but labor. The follies of two, or at most three generations of those you.envy, will, with unerring certainty, bring them to the lower side of the wheel again ; unti! their sons and grandsons coming again from the unknown walks, without family prestige, fame or power, shall turn to honest toil to gain a name.” prevented by achieving freedom in its late would unite with it, and the powers of Austria and Prussia would jade in their aim. The aspirations of the people of Europe are lifted continually for an opportunity for freedom, and providence is opening the war. But, gentlemen, we need not visit the continent of Europe to find objects worthy of our attention. ZS Mrs. Partington says her minister The Speaker then adverted to the improve-. preached about “the parody of the probable ments thet had taken place in California ft con é NOBLES PASS.—Dr. Wozexcrarr. The Marysville Herald says :—A private letter from Dr. Wozencraft, whose intention to explore Noble’s Pass, during this winter, « 4 was noticed in this paper a short time since, has been placed in our possession, fromwhich=__we are permitted to make the following ‘éxtracts, We much regret the difficulties and disappointments he has met, and sincerely hope that he may be esabled to.execute his purpose agreeable to his original intention. Hci: Poppies oe, he ny disappointments, am about to: oe a @ survey in culty of making survey in scason, are assigned as the reason, and at the same time, I anrurged to make the winter exploration, and in the event of forcing my way through the snows, and thus'proving the practicability of the route, the instrumental survey will, or can be made in the Spring. It is thought to be all sufficient for the present, to make the examination without instru-tents; indeed, all will depend on the results of the present trip. a. I expect to start in the morning with eight good men, most of them employed by me for’ the purpose, and may be back in two weeks. Tam sorry to say that I have had no information from any of the parties who had proffered to assist me, by raising funds; and should they fail to do so, I shall be saddled with debts that will be difficult for me to pay. The people of Shasta having determined. to make a survey in the Spring, were unwilling to aid ‘me, and yet, all will depend on the results of the present trip—for it is well known, that the Pass presents no obstacle to the construction of a railroad, in the suminer months, and it should be known, thht in the event of failing to forward a favorable report on to the Atlantic States by the 1st of March, that the location of the road liere, will be lost, through default of such report. The good people of Red Bluffs, were more prompt, and aided me materially in getting my supplies and provisions. I may meet with more formidable obstacles than have been heretofore anticipated, but I am yet, as sanguine of success, as at any former period. Yours, truly, (in haste,) O. M. WOZENCRAFT. Will not accompany me atthe * Woman’s Love.—How few -women have ever been in love. How few ever marry from election! They marry because they are asked, and because the marriage is suitable. It is their vocation to be married, parents approve and they have no other attachment. Any observant person living insociety, where there is a continual marrying and giving in marriage, must be struck with this fact. Cupid’s quiver must be exhausted, or his arrow blunt, as he pierces few hearts now. I incline to think that a girl really in love, one who has the evident symptoms of the malady, would be thought very improper ; yet I have often fancied that there must be a man born in the world for every woman; one whom to see would be to love, to reverence, to adore; one with whom her sympathies would entirely blend, that she would. reeognize him at once as her true lord. Now and then these pairs come together, and wo te her that mects this other self too late! Women’ would be more merciful if they did not, through ignorance and thoughtlessness, measure the temptation of others by their own experience.—Adventures of Beauty, by Mrs. Crewe. = i is strange how hearts beat ia sympathy, yet are strangers to. communion and fellowship! In life there is not too much of beauty, yct. we-exclude from the heart the very “holiest of all beauty by shutting up Within the soul our own thrilling thoughts of life and its unsyllabled emotions. Society has drawn the barrier, and who dares violate its false and unnatural etiquette! Not the woman of genius and trath, for she is observed of all, and she dare not say to the heart that beats with the same inspiration as her own, “ closely to me, and let us commune to-gether,”—not to the man of high and holy thought, for he is singled out as a pattern of. propriety, and communion with strangers: would but touch the tongue of gossip with ” slander, and render his life bitterness.—So: ‘ciety has bound the world of emotion and truth with false barriers, and the heart that longs for friendship and communion, above the hollow profession of etiquette, must commune alone with itself, and go on thro? life, with its longings ungated. except, perhaps, as it revels in the beauty-of the world’of Poetry. — Pacific. ae PreMicM on Baptes.—We find in the papers the following: “At the late Georgia State Fair a premium was offered for the best look-" ing native baby, and it was taken by a “promising” daughter -of Robert Glover. Next year the premium for the same article will be $50.

Allow me to say, I feel the present the proudest moment of my life. I should indeed be insensible were I untouched by the friendly demonstrations of this occasion. In them, I learn a lesson that ‘independence and perseverence, though for a time they may excite enmity, in the end must command the respect of the community.

Wherever the press has uncontrolled action, then, governments of limited powers will be found,—a people that is prosperous, intelligent,and happy, and who keep a vigilant guard on their rights. But wherever despotism lifts its head, and spreads its deleterious influences, the first. enemy it assaults is the inrece: plotted, ouéf ur trai formed into # servile™instrument of power.

We have seen him break with an inferior force the serried files of Russia, and send the Bear back to his quarters after much rougher handling than suits his:majesty. In this gathering tempest, the nations of Europe, and especially the masses, look on with vital interest. In the raging elements, there is safety. The wars of Europe of the past one hundred years, have hastened the bringing in edge as they are turned up day by day by the ploughshare of experience and toil. Ambition, too, becomes you. It is your privilege, in our beloved country, todo whatever man has done or man may do. It is right that you should realize your privilege to tread in any path that leads to greatness or renown. “T know that the young mechanic frequently feels disheartened. He enters life without a flourish of the “family” trumpet. He bears no flaming letters of introduction all relative to what his father, his uncle, or some one of the same name, was, or did. He is to be the architect of his own fortune or fame. He is a stranger, and frequently feels like a pilgrim, too. He is a forcigner, for he comes up from the unknown walks of life; and thank God for these and such. He is not compelled to fritter and waste his genius, immolate his life in family pomp, parade and importance, in the genealogy of a defunct family, and bend his mind to science rather than to the mysterious genealogy of a “coat of arms.”? A noble spirit moves him—his soul is nerved by truth and thought. Butsociety discourages his approaches, although it telerates him in the abstract. Its language to him is— Through the war path alone lies the track of liberty. Better that blood flow over the throne than under it! By the contention of Princes and Kings, their power is diminished, the victor alike with the vanquished. The debts of Europe, incurred in these wars, though they bind capitalists to the existing order of things, are nevertheless guarantees and pledges for freedom. Only by war, open or covert, can the governments of Europe be maintained ; but such wars require expensive establishments, and as year rolls on year, and nations exceed their income, the time must come when they will pass the limit of endurance and fall. A general European war in this year of 1854, would leave many of the governments of Europe without means of quelling their own subjects to continued subjection. The most interesting aspect of this Turkish question is, that it must involve the governments of Europe in its progress, and thus open a door for the freedom of the people of Europe. No one can doubt that, were Russia humbled, Austria alone cannot keep in subjection its rebellious province of Hungary. It was on“Honor and wealth from no exertion rise, Cheat all you can, and tell as many lies.” Society, instead of surrounding him with. its real sympathies, taking him to its honors, and familiarizing him with clevating and ennobling associations, keeps him at a distance, until by act upon act, and triumph upon triumph, he has struggled up and fought his way into usefulness and renown. And it is truly painful to sec how many young men of glowing souls, thus discarded from the socicty of the virtuous and good, turn almost by instinctive necessity, to the downward path of ruin, and end the lives of usefulness and honor which they have proposed to society, but which it has rejected, in loose abandonment and shame. But be not dismayed, young man, when society leaves you alone, It thus rejected every one of the bright names that glow on the history of greatness. While the rejection has abandoned or ruined thousands, it only nerved the ambition of the earnest few, and the more certainly hurried them on to greatness. Nothing is stable but labor. The follies of two, or at most three generations of those you.envy, will, with unerring certainty, bring them to the lower side of the wheel again ; unti! their sons and grandsons coming again from the unknown walks, without family prestige, fame or power, shall turn to honest toil to gain a name.” prevented by achieving freedom in its late would unite with it, and the powers of Austria and Prussia would jade in their aim. The aspirations of the people of Europe are lifted continually for an opportunity for freedom, and providence is opening the war. But, gentlemen, we need not visit the continent of Europe to find objects worthy of our attention.

The Marysville Herald says :—A private letter from Dr. Wozencraft, whose intention to explore Noble’s Pass, during this winter, « 4 was noticed in this paper a short time since, has been placed in our possession, fromwhich=__we are permitted to make the following ‘éxtracts, We much regret the difficulties and disappointments he has met, and sincerely hope that he may be esabled to.execute his purpose agreeable to his original intention. Hci: Poppies oe, he ny disappointments, am about to: oe a @ survey in culty of making survey in scason, are assigned as the reason, and at the same time, I anrurged to make the winter exploration, and in the event of forcing my way through the snows, and thus'proving the practicability of the route, the instrumental survey will, or can be made in the Spring. It is thought to be all sufficient for the present, to make the examination without instru-tents; indeed, all will depend on the results of the present trip. a. I expect to start in the morning with eight good men, most of them employed by me for’ the purpose, and may be back in two weeks. Tam sorry to say that I have had no information from any of the parties who had proffered to assist me, by raising funds; and should they fail to do so, I shall be saddled with debts that will be difficult for me to pay. The people of Shasta having determined. to make a survey in the Spring, were unwilling to aid ‘me, and yet, all will depend on the results of the present trip—for it is well known, that the Pass presents no obstacle to the construction of a railroad, in the suminer months, and it should be known, thht in the event of failing to forward a favorable report on to the Atlantic States by the 1st of March, that the location of the road liere, will be lost, through default of such report. The good people of Red Bluffs, were more prompt, and aided me materially in getting my supplies and provisions. I may meet with more formidable obstacles than have been heretofore anticipated, but I am yet, as sanguine of success, as at any former period. Yours, truly, (in haste,) O. M. WOZENCRAFT. Will not accompany me atthe * Woman’s Love.—How few -women have ever been in love. How few ever marry from election! They marry because they are asked, and because the marriage is suitable. It is their vocation to be married, parents approve and they have no other attachment. Any observant person living insociety, where there is a continual marrying and giving in marriage, must be struck with this fact. Cupid’s quiver must be exhausted, or his arrow blunt, as he pierces few hearts now. I incline to think that a girl really in love, one who has the evident symptoms of the malady, would be thought very improper ; yet I have often fancied that there must be a man born in the world for every woman; one whom to see would be to love, to reverence, to adore; one with whom her sympathies would entirely blend, that she would. reeognize him at once as her true lord. Now and then these pairs come together, and wo te her that mects this other self too late! Women’ would be more merciful if they did not, through ignorance and thoughtlessness, measure the temptation of others by their own experience.—Adventures of Beauty, by Mrs. Crewe. = i is strange how hearts beat ia sympathy, yet are strangers to. communion and fellowship! In life there is not too much of beauty, yct. we-exclude from the heart the very “holiest of all beauty by shutting up Within the soul our own thrilling thoughts of life and its unsyllabled emotions. Society has drawn the barrier, and who dares violate its false and unnatural etiquette! Not the woman of genius and trath, for she is observed of all, and she dare not say to the heart that beats with the same inspiration as her own, “ closely to me, and let us commune to-gether,”—not to the man of high and holy thought, for he is singled out as a pattern of. propriety, and communion with strangers: would but touch the tongue of gossip with ” slander, and render his life bitterness.—So: ‘ciety has bound the world of emotion and truth with false barriers, and the heart that longs for friendship and communion, above the hollow profession of etiquette, must commune alone with itself, and go on thro? life, with its longings ungated. except, perhaps, as it revels in the beauty-of the world’of Poetry. — Pacific. ae PreMicM on Baptes.—We find in the papers the following: “At the late Georgia State Fair a premium was offered for the best look-" ing native baby, and it was taken by a “promising” daughter -of Robert Glover..
