Tom Darling nas a darling Tom, (Ktcuso nil TiilRnr puns ) A typo of Cnllfornla'a bright lilting and setting sons. Hit father was an austero man An oystcrman was he, Who opened life by opening The shell (1th or the sea. nut hearing of n richer dime, He took his only sun, And cnnio nhere golden minds arc lost, Whllo golden mines arc won. They hoped to fill their pockets from Itlch pockets In the ground ; And 'midst tho boulders of tho hilts, Nono bolder could bo found. For though a minor, Tom Was ncrcr known to shirk ; And nlillo with seals ho worked his claim, Ills father claimed the work. Time's record on his brow now showed A fair spotless pagat Ami, as Ills age became Idm well, Ho soon became of age. Thinking that ho was up to all Tho California tricks. Ho now rciolvcd to pick his way Without tho nld of picks. In lots than eighteen circling moons Two fortunes he had mido ; Ono br good luck nt trado In stock, And one by stock In trade.

The ItcpuMIcan Stalo Convention met nl Salem on the 2d Inst., and elected T.S.Ken dall, of I.lnn, President, And J II. Mcllrldo, of .Yamhill, Secretary. Tho counties of Clatsop, Tillamook, Clackamas, Yamhill, Marlon, Polk, Linn, Lane, Jackson nnd Umpqiia wcro represented by delegates. The following resolutions wcro adopted : 1. lleiolvtit, That thd Republican party, true to the principles that form tho Imsls of our free and democratic system Of govern ment, rcnfllrms to them Its unattcrablo de votion as laid down In tho bloodbought charter of American liberty, the Declara tion of Independence, and dovclopcd in tho Constitution or tho United States; and that tho prosperity nnd perpetuity of our Union depends upon a strict adherancc to the doc trines taught, nnd rights guarantied In tticso honored repositories of He publican faith. 2. JUtolettl, That In relation lo tho Insti tution of domcstlo slavery, wc remain where the patriots who formed our Institutions planted themsehes, nnd where tho leading statesmen of all parties, until within n re cent period, have harmoniously stood that Ills it purely local not general Stato, nnd not National Institution determinable by tho States, each for Itself: over which the other States litivo no control, and for nhtcb, mi responsibility. 3. llnolctil, That with Washington, Jef ferson, Madtton, Franklin, nnd their com peers and cotcmporarles, who, In tho fram ing of the Constitution, mado cflcctunl pro vision for tho annihilation of tho traffio In slaves, and, who were especially anxious that that Instrument should contain no nd mtsslon of tho right of one man to hold property In another, wo bellcvo slavery to Im. a political, social and moral evil ; and whllo wc disclaim all right and Inclination to Interfere with It as n municipal regula tion of any of tho sovereign States of tho Union, wo beliovo that tho organic act of 1787, for the government of all tho territory then belonging to the Republic, penned by the rsgaclous Jeflcrson, and signed and ap procd by the Immortal Washington, and strictly adhered to In tho formation of every Territorial government from that time down to 1831, embodies tho duty of Congress In framing governments for tho Territories that Is, tho non-extension of slavery. 4. Ifciohttl, That the unfortunate depar turo from that principle In the late act or ganlilng tho Territory of Kansas, to which wo directly trace tho bitter agitation which has destroyed the peace and reddened with the blood of brothers, tho virgin soil of that fair land, has proved by Its bitter fruits the wisdom of tbo ancient policy which It sup planted. 6 Jltiohal, That we stand by and main tain, as did our forefathers, truo popular sovereignty, and tho Inalienable right of tho people to govern themselves, but we deny that a man Is deprived of them unless ho enjoys the privllcgo of enslaving others, nnd affirm that tho result of such a doctrine would bo to found the liberty of the cltisen upon a balls of despotism. C. Raotvtd, That tho uttempt upon tho part of the present dcmocratlo adinlnlttH tlon to force upon tho peoplo cf Kansas a constitution abhorrent to n largo majority of Its citizens, and to sustain In power a usurping and tyrannical minority against the known will of tho remainder, Is an out rago not to bo borno. by a frco peoplo ; nnd wo hope that, planting themselves firmly upon the Immortal truth first enunciated by the Declaration ot Independence, "that all governments derive their Just powers from the free consent of tbo governed," they will baablo to wrest from tbo oppressors that which Is luestlmablo to a free people, and formidable to tyrants only tho right to compel the rulers to conform to tho withes of tho ruled, 7. tttialvtd, That wo Insist that tho right of tbo nation to govern, necessarily follows tho right to acquire and hold territory ; and that In providing a government for a Terri tory under this" right, It should bo based upon tho inalienable rights of tho people j and we arraign tbo modern system, as prac tically carried out in Kansas, for its utter and gross violation of theio principles, and ufllrm that tbodarkcataloguoof wrongs nnd crimes committed by tho late and existing administrations, against popular rights in that Territory, deserve thofucecratlon of every lover of freedom of tbo present day j and as their just reward in history, an im mortality of infamy. 8. Itttolvtd, That Uie partisan decision of tho Supreme Court, In tho case of Dred Scott, which makes tho Constitution a grand titlo instrument to every holder of slaves, Is a disgrace to the Judiciary of the nation, and a stain upon the character of tho country, whoso proudest boast Is Its love of liberty in Us largest seflie, and lu hatred o( tyranny in every farm. 0. Jletohd, That wo congratulate our selves and tUo pseploof Oregon upon the result of the late election npon tbo question of slavery, triumph of the Republican doo trine of non-extensloq, aud we only insist that.we ought to tiso our Influence wherever It, can bo legitimately don'e,'to secure to other Tcrrltorle tbo samo priceless bliss- lings of frctdoui which, by such a gratifying majority, we seem so fully to appreciate for ourselves. 10. JUiotecit, That the reckless prodigal ity of national trcasuro which has charac terised the lato nnd present democratic ad ministrations, bringing to bankruptcy n treasury whose vaults have received SSt), 000,000 per annum, nnd necessitating a loan in a time of pcaeo, Is a clear nnd dcmoiutra. tlvo proof of (hat .wasteful cxtravaganco which has plundered tho nation, and turned Its treasury Into a shlnplastcr machine, with nothing but Its credit to sustain its finances. 11. Jlttohtd, That tho l'nclflo Railroad Is no longer an enterprise of doubtful expe diency, but has become ono of imperative commercial nnd national necessity j nnd wo favor Its construction upon any central, and practicable routo, by tho nld or the general government, given In such manner as may bo best calculated to effect Its early com pletion. 12. lUtotttd, That the political dogmas sought recently to be established by a party styling thcmsolvcs democrats, In this Ter ritory, which nwcrts the duty of n represen tative or delegate in some Instances to be to obey tho Instructions of his constituents, whllo In others specified, ha Is bound to dis regard them nnd bow to the will of others, Is dangerous nnd nnli-rcpublican In Its ten dency, and worthy to be sustained only by n party that Is everywhere known ns tho ally of personal vassalage, and tho Advo cate of partisan despotism. J 3. lltiohtd, That wo believe In tho tin tramcTed right of the citizen to think nnd vote as ho pleases, and wo utterly deny the right of any representative, under any cir cumstances, to violate tho Instructions or known will of tho peoplo ho represents. 1 1, Itriplved, That tho present system of voting viva voce, Introduced by that party to subject the sulfrago of tho citizens to the surveillance of partisau Inspectors, and awe him, under the penalty of being branded as a traitor, Into abject submission, Is n relict of barbarism, which finds (It friends Jn n party whoso whole organization Is dovoted to the extinguishment or every spark of per sonal freedom, and the subjeotion of Its members to the entlro control of an aristo cracy of leaders and that with such n par ty wo are proud to uavo neither sympathy .nor connection. Aurlurst Motioy. Iteforo the Invasion of Julius Cintar, the natives of England had tin plates, iron plates, and rings, which wcro money . Ou the authority of Boncca, a curious account is given when leather, appropriately stamp ed to glvo It a certain legal character, was tbo only current money. At a comparative ly recent uate in me annais oi i.urope, ire dlch the Kcond, who died In 1230, nt the siege of Milan, actually paid his troops with leather money. Nearly tho same circum stance occurred In England during the great wars of the lurous. Jn the course of 1230, King John, for the ransom of his royal per son, promised lo pay Ednard the third of England, thrco millions of gold crowns. In order to fulfil the obligation, he was reduced lo (ho mortifying necessity of paying the expenses of tho palace In leather money, In the centre of each piece there being a llttlo bright point of silver. In that reign is found the origin of the travestied honor of boy hood, called conferring A leather medal. The Imposing ceremonies accompanying presentation gavo full force, dignity and valuo to a leather jewel, which noblemen wcro probably proud and gratified to receive at the hand of majesty. So late as 1374, (hero was an Immense Is tuo of money In Holland, stamped on small sheets of pasteboard. Out further back In the vista of years, Nutna Pompllus, the sec ond kin? of Home, who retimed tlsT hundred I ,7 " , " ., , , ., nnu iwruiy-iwo years uciuro iuc uurisuun era, made money out of wood as wcllni leather; a knowledge of which might have Influenced King John In the bold project of substituting. tho tanned bide of an animal for gold and silver, well knpwn to his sub jects to be exceedingly precious. Doth gold nnd sliver appeared to have been In extensive circulation In Egypt, soon after their potency was understood In Asia. From thence they were Introduced into Carthago and Greece; and, Anally travel ing further and further in a westerly direc tion, the city of Rome discovered tbo Impor tance of legalising her circulation. Weight always having been of tbo first Importance in early times, the ebapo of mo ney appears to have been regarded with perfect Indtfferenco for series of years. When tbo bits and portions of metal re ceived as precious were extensively circula ted, It is quite probable that each possessor shaped them to suit bis onn conception, as practiced to toine cxteut nt this time In re mote places fu the East Indies. The payer always cuts off parts wjtb shears, till he ob tains, by exact weight tbo stipulated am ount. It was thus Unit men (raveled with the evideuco of tholr possession in a sack. But great Inconvenience must bavo resulted from this often tedious prpcwsa: nnd as na tions advance in civilization aud thoecon omle arts, a certain ark or Impression on certain shed pieces was acknowledged lobe the sign of a certain weight. This-facilitated negotiations, and after wards led to further Improvements, both In the shape, weight and beauty of the external device.. Dy.and-by, the profile of the king, (he date of the coinage, aud tho reoord of Important ovent's, gnvo still more complete ness nnd character fo tbo circulating article of exchange. From tho Golden Era. A PntHtit Sermon. nr now, jk. At the request of Ilrothcr Saokvltlo, of Forest City, my dlrcourto for this morning will be drawn from the following, by Martin F. Tuppcr, Esq. : Seek n good wife of thy God, for she is the best girt omis providence. MrllnlnKiuK No rational man ever yet had oven a soft-shell doubt crawl Into his mind that n good wife Is a gcod thing ar tlclcrutcnsll or "Institution." This being conceded, wo arrlvo at if start lag point. Cur text rays, my nnwedded ho brothron, you must seek a good wife the best gift of God's provldcnco of tho grrnt Disposer of human events and marrlsgcablo women. That's so. l)y looking to such n source, you are sure to get ono of the right stamp, containing the puro metallic ring not one composed of counterfeit virtues, or made up of r.lno and pew tor pretensions. And, what is more, It Is Isn't going to cost you anything, neither at tho beginning nor At the end, except a new suit of rlothce, n plain gold ring, nnd a ten-dollar piece for tho parson which Is my standard price, and "I'll have no more and never tako n cent uk" Tho Devil, ray beloved bacholors, always has a great deal of femlnlno truck In the market for which you have to pay pretty roundly or lot nlono. Generally speaking, to got ono of his sort, you must show a pic thorlo purso In tho beginning, and glvo It n good sweat nt the start and this, brethren, Is tho literal meaning of that Greek quota tlon, "tho devil's to pay." Afterwards, your purse will probably sweat Itself Into a galloping consumption, and dissolve nnd disappear, "llko the baseless fabric of a yl tlon" or a pound of salts In a quart of warm water. Then A dark cloud will lower upon your shanty ; love, If It ever gained a resi dence In your hearts, will suddenly emi grate from such an arctic region want nnd wretchedness will stare you In tho counte nance, like a couple, of cat-owls watching a gopher by moonlight and, unless relieved by divorce, tho Devil gets a pair of you In the end. My friends: every man, be ho good or bad, should have n good wife. If Lo bo good, sho will mako him n still better member of soci ety ; If bad,but not wholly beyond redemp tion, a good mi will put a uew surface up on him In six weeks:: nnd, At the end of a single year, he will baro undergone such a thorough renovation tint 'ho won't know himself from the Seventh Commandment. If thou art given to fretting, and don't know what to frot about, It Is well to pro vido thyself with a home, and furnish It with ngaodwifo aud n few little white-headed tt-cetcrat, then, verily, thou canst fret to thy soul's content, and the good wife will probably heed It not, but let It run itself out as It most assuredly will, In lime. Thou thalt fret, 1st. Uecauso tho fashions changu with every moon, and It takes too much change to keep wife rigged according to Gunter. 2d, llecause a red flannel petticoat, even to think about, Is worse than tho seven-year Itch. 8d. Rccauso the hoops to the vinegar bar rel are always (lying off, and wife wants coopering every once in two months. -tth. Uecauso the coffee Is too delicate and butter too robust ; eggs Interesting geologi cal specimens ; meat not cooked half cook ed cooked to n cinder; potatoes soggy; turnips pithy; pie-crust hammered out at the blacksmith's, and the "shortening" omitted on account of its extreme length. 0th, Uecuuie tho childreu'a faces are eo dirty they'll never be able to speak Eng lish. litb. Rccauso there Is nothing In Its place, but tho cat In tho mllk.pltcher and (he even ing newspaper iu tho slop-pall. llut, as beforo-sald, thy fretting will run Itself out in time, If not meddled with ; and thou shall afterwards become worthy of the good wife, who has not only borne it all without a murmur, like a duck In a hall storm ; but, with a thousand apologies, gar nished with the sweetest of smiles, promised an extra endeavor "to suit you for the fu ture. Worthy bachelors : seek a good wife of your God, and you will find it an easy mat ter to scare up one. What I mean by a good wife U, one plump as a partridge, about two thirds full of common sense, and the other third filled with trimmings for the sauio; one moderately addicted to crinoline, flounces and tight-lacing whose heart is a magnet that shall draw you to her side, and induce you to spend the major part of your evening in her sweet society; one whose in herent charms aro such as, In all your wan derings, will cer lead you to eielnlm: "Therp'8 no place like botue r'n-ono ybo will keep buttons upou your sbrts and put a polsh on your manners jp-ae who can make a good pot-pie, as wBPla ro" tho piano, nnd nbovo all, one who knows how to prepare nice stuffing for a turkey on Christmas. I "holler" on that, llut beware, friends, bewnro of your strong-minded, double-jointed sort, nnd blue stocklugs In general I Ilachelor miners; I don't know that you nre so wretchedly in want or a w Ifo as a good many others ; but you know your own t ant tho best. If you are aweary, nnd fcl life to bo n sort of one-horso arrangement with out a help-mate, why, then look about for your t'other half, nnd splice on. Thonjgb sho dig not hcrsclC. verily, In all likelihood, she will make you dig the shaipcr. Ilut be yo not in n hurry. Tho gaudy red petticoat, I predict, wilt soon give place to an article of sober blue. Then, 0, ye brethren mlncjrs I you may take unto yourselves wives, and blissfully share with them your happlnesv, your bed, your board, your sheets, and your ihirUl Ilut those wretched, greedy Mormons I up on tho subject of wife-taking they carry their goatish Ideas lo A movt prodigal ex tent. They want ol together too much of n good thing more than reason, religion or tho laws of tbo land ought to allow ; but let us hope that, through the grace of Ood and gun-powder, a now order of things will soon be Instituted In (bo midst of this miter Ably benighted peoplo. My brotbfen : you shemld never merry very young. Life Is a feast ; after you havo enjoyed tho eubstanttals, let a wife com In as tho dessert. So moto It bo t Punch's Clinrco to tho Jury. Gtntltmen oftht Jury! You nro sworn In all cases to decide according to. the evi dence ; at the samo time, If you bavo any doubt, you nre bound to give tho prisoner tho benefit of It, Supposo you have to pro nounce on the pullt or lunocenco of a gen tleman accused of felony. You wilt natur ally doubt whether any .gentleman would commit such offences accordingly, however strong may be tho testimony against him, you will, perhaps, ncqult him. The evi dence of your senses Is, at least, or credible as that of the witnesses ; If, therefore, your eyesight convince you that tho prisoner Is n well-dressed person, you havo a right to presume his respectability ; and itlsfor.you to say whother a respectable person would lie likely to bo guilty of the crimes Imputed to him. In Itke manner, when you see a shabby-looking follow In the dock, charged, for example, with sliccp-stcaling, the deci sion rests wjtb you, first, whether or ujt that Individual Is a ragamuffin, and second ly, how far It Is probable that a man of that description would steal sheep. Of course, as has been beforo said, you will always bo guided by tho svldeuce ; but then, whether the evidence Is trustworthy or not, Is a mat. ter for jour private consideration. You may bellevo if you choose, or you may UIs believe ltf and whether, gentlemen of tho Jury, you will bellevo It or dlebcllcvo it, will depend on tho constitution of your minds. If your minds are eo constituted that you wish to find the prisoner guilty, perhaps you will believe It; If (hey happen (o be so constituted that yon desire to find. him not guilty, why then, very llkoly.you wll) disbelieve It, You aro to frco your minds from all passion and prejudice If you can, And in (hat case your judgment will be unbiased ; but If you cannot, you will re turn a verdict accordingly. It is not, strict ly speaking, for you to consider what will bo the effect of your vcrdlot ; but if such a consideration should occur to you, and you cannot help attending to it, that verdict will be Influenced by It to a certain extent. You are probably aware (bat when yon retire, you will be looked op until you contrive to ngrcc. You may arrive nt unanimity by fair discussion, or by somo of you starving out the others, or by tossing up; nnd your cquclusion by whichever of these processes Arrived at, wilUe more or less in accord ance with your oaths. Your verdiet may be right; it is to be hoped It will bo; It may be wrong ; it is to be hoped it will not be. At all events, gentlemen of the jury, you will come to some conclusion or other; un lose It should so happen that you separate without coming to any. tea, A young gutter-enjpo, born and bred In the Five Points region, and who bad never known that ho had any other name thu plain .Tuck, "was hauled into the commission school, and with him two companions, wjiora he bad only kuown In like manner, as "Flu'' aud "Eel." The former was first asked : "Wbat Is your name" "Fin," was the reply. "Ob, py no. I'blucas must be .your name. Remember it now." Then the other friend was put through. What Is your uame, sonuy V "Tx." Mercy, what name! That will never do. I suppose it must be Ellas 1" "Yea, sir." All thin wblle the young gutter snipe had been staring at the odd manner in whleh bis friends' names bad been lengthened qu, At length, however, a glance of Intelligence sliQt over bis face be took tho Joke and when asked whit bis uamo was, sarcastleally answered, with a "you don't sell e"lopk, Nik. w?J-tfTAMfcMffcrfl
