I have seen article in uther papers speaking tenderly of all sub jects, as though llio editors wore ntixiouit lu be carriud along by popular favor, ami when they find the "dour" people gui-ig :down stream they will hop into t jolly boat and float along. My object in In draw your attention to tli4 principle of tho Nebraska b it us ap plied to the subject of shivery in Oregon It is. contended by some that Ongon it open to the slave owner to bri.ig bis tdave 'and hold him in this Territory. The piin ciploof lite bill cs'ubiMiing the Trrritoiies of Kansas and Nelira-kti is, that the people cf those Territories may bold slave prop erty or not, ns they in their legislative ca pacity shall di'lerniine. Nebrakt bus do 'cided by her Legislature not to admit slave property ; Kansas, by the interference of .Missouri, has decided to admit what Ne bruskn prohibits. I do not pmposo to question the justness or equity of the pi in. ciplo or the right of any people to deter mine anil iu:ik) for themselves their own laws. This I hold to be self-evident, u nd indispensable to tho liberty of lb; citizen of a free country. 11ns Orrgmi by any act of Iters prohibited slave property from being held in the Territory 1 On pane 29, Oregon Archives, article 4'b, the people of this Territory by a unanimous vote in con vention assembled on the 6th of July, '43, expressed their opinion upon this subj'xt ns follows ; , "There shall be neither slavery nor in voluntary servitude in said Territory other- 'xise limn for the punishment of crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted." ' .a On the 20ih of Juno, 1941, a bill passed tho Legislative Assembly of the Territory, six to two, to prevetitslavery. On the 19 h Dec. the iiixll) and seventh sections of the act which required (he tdieriir of the Ter ritory to seize and (lot; all black' once in thirty day till they left the country, wus repealed, and the section as found in Laws of Oregon, page 62, enacted, requiring all negroes or mulattoes to leave the Territory, or be hired out to the person uho would undertake to remove him at the shortest tim of service. , On the 5th of July, 1845, the Legisla tive Assembly, by a vote fif ten to three, declared, "That this government can recog. nize the right of one person lu the services of another only upon bona Jide contract made and entered into, and equtlly binding on both parties." " " On the 23th of July of the same year the organic act of the Territory was again submitted for the approval of the people. .The fourth section of said act is in the aame word of the first act on the 5th of July, 1843. ' On the 14th of Almost, 1S43, the pres. ' ent Territorial government was established 1 by Congrtss. The 14lh section of said act ' aays : - 1 "Tit existing laws now in force in the .

Infiut mortality increases faster limn nny other description, w hich fact is accounted f'r by l he circumstances con nected with a luxurious ags. Convulsions ttud deuiiii'in are the predominating causes of infant mortality. The small pox, in the natural way, ctr rics nlf abot(t 8 out of 100 J and by inoc u'aiioit (Hccimitioii) nun scan-el)' ilies out of 300. ll has been olea-rved that more girls than boys die of the small pox in the tialiind way. Prom comparison of the hills of mortal i'y of several countries, there are 1 1 on' of every 3.120 who live to the age of 100 year. The proportion of deaths of women, compared with those of men, is 100 tu I OS. Married w-oiin n live louder, on an averag -, than single. More people live to a grealei age in ehvated si'uatiims lliun those who reside on lower ones. It has been found that t'le greatest num ber of deaths in cur ill the month of Mutch. The mouths of August iiud S.-pt nib r stand next to Man-It in this respect. The fewest number of deaths tak.t place in N vimher, Uec tnlier, and F. briiary. Out of 10 .10 deats,219 take place in winter, 28!) in spring, 2'2-" in summer, aud 23" in autumn. More die, therefore, in the pring than in any other season only in large cities, where the death in winter preponderate over those of other seasons, for the very ohtiotis reason that in winter the lnrg cities and towns are more crowded by iuliHi'itaiils than at any other season. The baif of all who are bom die before they reach 17 years of ago. The number of old persons who die in Cold weather is as seven to four compared with the mor tality in warm or tempeiate weather. The first month, and csHcially the fi'sl day after birth, are marked by the greatest Mimber of deaths among infants.

From the Science or Life hy a Physician, Hie Turn of Lite. Between the years of forty nnd sixty, a man who has properly regulated himself may be considered as in the prime of life. Uis inatnrrd strength of constitution ren ders him almost impervious to the attack of disease, and experience lias given sound ness to his judgment. His mind is reso lute, firm and eipiul; all his functions are in the highest outer; ho assumes the mastery over his businesi; builds up a competence on thu foundation ho has formed in eaily manhood, and passes hrottgli a period of I fo attended by many gratifications. Having gone a year or two past sixty, ha arrives at a critical period in the road of exi-tence ; the rivrr of death flows before him, and he remains at a stand- till. But athwart this river la a viaduct. ealled "The Turn of Life," which ir crossed in safetv, leads to tho valley of "old age," round which the river winds, aud then flows beyond without a boat or causeway to edi ct its passage. The liridge is constructed of fragile materials, and it depends upon liow iiis trodden whether it b' lid or break. Gout apoplexy, and oilnr bad characters are also in the vicinity to waylay the traveller, and thrust him from the pass ; but let him uird 'ip his loins, and provide himself with a fitting stuff, and he may trudge on in safety with perfect coin esture. To quit iiii-taphnr, ' The Turn of Life" is a turn either in a prolonged walk, or into the grave. The system and powers having reached thnir utmost expansion, now begin either to close like flowers at sunset or break down at once. One injudicious stimulant, a single fatal excitement, may force it beyond iw strength; whilst a care ful supply of propMrs, and -the withdraw al of all that tends lo force a plant, will sustain it in beauty and in vigor until night has entirely set in.

An xminuiloii of 2", "00 infant", at M.iterniiu in Paris, give for tho weight of theiiew brn 0 14 lbs. j iho samo mean value obtains for the city of Druss I,. For about a week af'er birth, ibis weight undergoes an actual diminution, owing lo the tissue destruction which issues through the establishment of respiration, and which fur a time exceed the flin fiom nu trition. Fur the same g, the inalo in fant is heavier than the female ; but litis iliin-rciice gradually diminishes, and at twelve yen's their weight is sensibly the same. Three years Liter, at the period of puberty, tho weight is one-half of what it ia finally to be, when development is re vealed. The maximum weight eventually at tained, is a little more than twenty limes that at birth, this holding good for both sexes; but sinoo tho new-born fern 1 weighs less llinn the standard, nnd the new born mule more, llie Weight of ll.O adult mnle is 13" lbs., and of tho adult female 121 lb. The mean weight of a man ir respective of bis period of life ia about 107 lbs., and of a woman, nearly 04 lbs. The mean weight of a human being, without reference either to age or sex, is about 09 lbs. M.Qnetelet, to whom we nre indebted for the above statistics, as the result of his researches, states that communities seem to bo under I ho influence of unchangeable laws, as much as the. individual. " In communities, man commits the same num ber of murders each year, and d n-a it with the, suntu weapons. We might enumerate, beforehand, how many individuals will im bue their ham's in the blood of their kind, how many w ill forge, how many poison, very nearly ns we enumeinte, beforehand, how many births and deaths will take place. " Hpeel at Hiram Vessels. What will ultimately be the sustained nnd working speed of steam ships f asks an English essayist. When railroads were first thought of, a speed of ten miles nn hour was all that was anticipated; yet a sustained speed nf sixty miles and n work ing one of forty m lea an hour have be:t attained. Siea titers, of cour.y, can never compete with railiays in speed, because the resistance of the utmosphero and wheel friction is much less than that of water ; but the speed nf steam vessels has been gradually increasing. In the early Gov. eminent mail strain packets contracts nino miles nn hour was the stipulated speed, It was nficrwnrds increased 1 1 ten miles, and latterly to nearly twelve miles an hour. The working nnd paying speed is usually a or 0 miles an hour less than tho experi. mental one. A steamer, without any car ijoon board, going over the measured mile in Sloke Bay, in sinonth water, is very d'f feretlt from tho same steamer deecly la. den crossing the Day of Liscny or the At lantic Ocean. The Persia, however, on her celebrated quick passage from New York to Liver pool, must have averaged thirteen miles tin hour for 210 successive hours. This may be considered, then, as l he standard al pres ent of sustained profitable speed of ocean steamships, Take the fastest steamer now nfl'iat, nnd she would, if unladen, aud in smooth water, without any wind, tide or current to overcome, run at the rate of upwards of eighteen miles an hour. Now when it is considered what Is the resistance which water must nlTe.r to a ship and that the speed of a brisk wind is only fifteen miles an hour, the triumphs already ach ieved in shipbuilding, arc, indeed, some thing marvellous. Dkneficial Effkcts of S.mokf.. A writer in tho Loudon Times nrgurs in fa vor of the sanitary elTecte of smoke. He says that smoke, being nothing more than minute, fluke of carbon or charcoal, the carbon in such a state is like so msny atoms of sponge, ready to absorb any of the life destroying gases with which it insy come in contact. In all the busy haunts of men the surrounding air is to a certain ex lent, rendered pernicious by their excre tion, from which invisible gaseous matter arises such as phosphuretled and sulphur etted hydrogen, nyanogen ami ammynicsl compounds, well known by their intolera ble odor. Now th blacks ef smoke, (that is the carbon,) absorb and retain these mat ters to a wonderful extent, livery Jinn dred weiebl of smoke probably absorbs 2000 weight of the poisonous gasci em anatinf from the aewe rs and from the va rieus works, where animal substances were under manipulation.

The I'i-trict Attourny ef Saa Fraiic-Wcn, in 1852statd in a public speech, that (or the previous four years twelve hundred murders had been committed in the city of San Francisco. Anyone con versant with tho history of "Great Pa cific Emforiuni"siiice that time, will readi ly agree Ibnl the crime bus not diininMicd with the increase of population. It was stated on or near the close rf 1855, hy tho public press, that fir ihe year just pjst five hundred inurdrrt ll id b -en broi glit lo thrfir notice. The tempiler of ibis woik feels perfectly safe in saying that not has lhan live thousand mursVnr have b"en commit!. ed in California within the last six years. I will also here mention, that from tha examination of th old files af daily pa pers.it appears that the accidental deaths have not been less in number than those by murder, for the same time. With these facts before the public, can we not readily accaunt for the great num ber of men that have disappeared in Cal ifornia, whoso friends and relations can not abtain the least intelligence fiotn tlitm ? Increased Dohation of Lifi. Prof, nucharau, in n lecture before the Mocli anics' Institute of Cinctminti, mukes lh following observal ions upon the average duration of life, the effect in part of the improvements in medical science. He says that in the latter pari of the sixteenth century, one-half of all that were horn died under five years of nge, aud the av erage longevity of the whole papulation was but 18 yes rs. In the 17th century, one-half nf the population died under twelve. Hut in the first sixty years of the 18th century, one half of tho population lived over 27 years. In the hitter forty years, one-half exceeded thirty-two years of age. At the beginning of the present century, ono-ha!f exceeded forty years, and from 1838 to 1915 otie-lialf exceeded forty-lhreo. Tho average longevity at these successive period has been itict cased frem 18 years in the 18th cculury, up to 43,7 by our lust reports. , The Troubles la France. Tho rumors of discontent and insur rection cuming from the poor classes in Paris have great significance. They must have soma other foundation than the imagination ef letter-wriiers, er of the political speculators. We hear of the secret societies, extending (heir ramifica tions into every part of France, continually receiving reinforcement frem discontented arlifcaus. We hear of dear bread, of hiuh rents, of restrictions upon the press, of xlruvagimt government expenditures, of baseless financial fabrics, of political piacks administering the government, of heavy deficits in the Budget, And all these rumors must h"tbe founded on facts; i hey cannot be hern of the winds. And now we hear of the "terrible question of rents" from a bite letter of the l'aris cor respondent of the New Orleans Picayune, quoted by the Courior, which shows us that th "annuul agitation" has come; and that there is nothing wanting but a leader to efi'ecl n revolution. We give an extract showing the present state of those too p"r to pay the high rents, and the exertions of the Govern ment and the, landlords to remedy the dif ficuliy. "Yesterday was the quarter-day of all rents under $10(1 a year, nnd such have been ihe demolitions and the diameter ef the new buildings erected, thai the poorer classes who lived in a chamber, or lge ment (chamber nnd kitchen, or two rooms sud kuchen,) cannot find shelter exo pt at rates which equal or exceed their annual earnings. Yesterday there wss a lin" of hand-carts loaded with the scant furniture of these humble household bound to the remotest quarters of the city, or outside iho walls. The government is building 1500 chambers in the vast field known as theClos St. Lazare, but so many demands have been made fur three, that they are described by those whose position enables them to discern the circumference of Ibis wretchedness, as being a " mete drop in the bucket.'"

At Ihe risk (-ays tho Daily News corre spondent) of uttering what the Mouileur may perhaps denounce us an "odious cuU . iimny," I feel it an imperii' iv duly to say say emphatically that, instead of bring in hannunions relations, the cabinets of Lon don and Paris are at this moment almost at daggers drawn. Tho diflerence between tlmin on the question of the execution of the treaty of Pari is most soriotis, and, ns to what is to be done with Naples, they are absolutely at sixes snd sevens. The French government, I learn from a good source, is appn lieiisivo 1 lint England may bo driven lo eccupy the island of Sicily, in order, in case of a convulsion ill Europe, to give her point d'appui equal lo 'hat which Franca and Austria have acquired for themselves by their respectivo occupation of Home and LontbnrJy. The Paris wrilnrofthe London Morning Post takes a different view of the case, nnd says the diplomacy of F-ngland and France, despite the intrigues of a third potter, is united on all great questions calculuted to insure lliu tranquillity of Europe.jJJ : The Paris Journal Pes Dcbats also pre. fesses itself aware of the shifting ground of the alliance. It says: " Euiopean politics are now subject to singular transformations, snd the excaution of the Ireaty of Paris prehaps fur us each day some fresh surprise. Ono of tha cu rious is the reconciliation that has been accomplished bclweon England nnd A us iris, which the journals of the the two countries now confide to Europe, ' The memory is too full of the bitter and violent polemics indulged in only a short time ago by tha English journals, with respect to what they termed the machiavelistn nnd duplicity of the Austrian policy. Rut now everything is changed ; tho most import ant English journal, tho -Times, openly defends this very policy, and it asserts that the Cubinetof Vienna has the best reas ons in the world for not leaving tho I)an- ubian principalities. , The orgntis of tho Austrian government opine on their part that England has no lus excellent reasons lor maintaining hu fleet in the Iliac k Sea. This is not all ; they applaud to the skies the particular claims acquired by the F.ng lish guverument and its representative at Vienna to tho Meudship of Austria, by combining their mutuid efforts against tho union ef the principalities, formally sup ported in the Congress of Paris by the first Plenipotentiary of England, Lord Claren don. At Vienna the game is now consid- - ered as won." i A Good livit . Never decide till you have heard both sid- of a question.
