Ashley, member of Congress from Oblo, and Chairman of tbe Committee on Territories. ?be distinguished gentleman is charged wth, tbe duty of Visiting tbe various Territories and reporting upon their condition, la pursuance of which be bat already visited Colorado, Montana,; Utah and Idaho. ' Be bas been aeveotyttwo days in all on tbe Plains, but Instead of being worn down, is fresher and atonter than when be started. Mr. A. s re connoisaanee of tbe country bas been tho : and has enabled him to Balni much in formation that will be useful to him and adl- vantageoas to tbe people of tbe Pacific coast, when their interests are legislated upon by Congress. On relerriog to the Dictionary of Congress, we learn that Mr. Ashley was born In Virginia, in 1824 J was self-educated became an adventurer at the age of fifteen, at one time aoting as clerk on tbe store boats of tbe Ohio and Mississippi, and then doing service in a printing office. He studied law, and was admitted to tbe bar in Ohio, 1849 ; but, Instead of practicing bis profession, he vent into the business of boat buildintr. and was connected with tbe press. He subse quentlf settled at Toledo, and went into the wholesale drug business, and was elected representative from Ohio to tbe Thirty sixth Congress, serving. as a member of tbe Com mittee on Territories. Re-elected to the Thirty-seventh Congress. and made Chairman of the Committee on Territories, and also re elected to tbe Thirty eight Congress, serving . on the Committee on Claims and, and as Ghalrmun of the Committe on Territories He is alto re-elected to the Thtrty-nlnth Con gress, and Is a man of extepsive influence. Mr. A. is accompanied by Col. Frothingham, a gentleman who' served with distinction in the war for the Union. Our distinguished visitor fill go down by to-morrow's boat, on bis way to Puget Sound, the resources of which country he will investigate. He will then return to San Francisco, and tbence overland, taking Arizona, possibly, in his line of travel. We are pleased to notice hat this Western country is attracting the attention of the prominent men of the nation, with whom the Pacific coast heretofore has been little more than a terra, incognita. From the knowledge thus gained they will be able to legislate intelligently and with due regard to our necessities and interests. , Tbiasori. At tbe assay office of Mr. C S. Miller, yesterday, we examined twenty- two gold bars, weighing all the way from twenty to two hundred ounces. These bars were tbe result of a single day's work in the assay office, and represented an aggregate value of $25,000. The laBt week has shown a decided gain in the receipt of treasure, and should the gold continue to come in at the present rate, the business of the town cannot fail to revive. . ... Pernio School.

' -'' THH COST OF LIBERTY. " Eternal vigilauce is tbe price of Liberty," fs an old mattm, which, ta these day, says tbe fan Francisco CM might be aptly chang ed so as to read, " Eternal electioneering 1s tbe price of Liberty It is a serious question for consideration. Are we not paying too great a price for such liberty as we enjoy ; or rather could we not so arrange matters as to enjoy more real liberty at a less price, and with less troubleT At political anairs are now worked, it is absolutely necessary for people to make themselves slaves to politics to maintain tueir civil iiDerues anu natural rights. Tbe publio mind must be kept ever on the alert to protect its liberties. Politics demand full half of tbe time or men ; and men obev : for if tbey did not, their liberties would be in danger. Sleeping or waning eating or drinking, riding or walking, tbe- inexorable master, Politics, compels tbe attention of his obedient and liperty-loving subjects. He forces them to snout nonsense on the forum, to write trash in tbe lai cturo, to dis cuss foolish iy in bar-rooms, to swill lager and guzzle wbieky in saloons, to wrangle at tbe street corners, to cneat eacn O'ner in conven tions, to lie about each other daring election campaigns, to falsify records, to blacken char- acters, to defame rc potations, to scoff religion and deride its ministers, to invade the sanc tity of domestic lite, to bold nothing sacred, to boia an sentiments dear except honor, to shed blood for shadows, and expend nolbing lur suostances an inese things politics de mands ot his slavish subjects, as tbe price ol liberties. I not tbe price a tearful one to pay for an article which is ever eludino tbe grasp. and frequently not clutched at all? Is there among the people enough wisdom to devise a plan by which tbey can, at tbe tame time, perpetuate their liberties aod mease them-, selves from tbe thraldom of that modern. American tyrant, politics? Is it necessary, for tbe preservation of our civil rights and liberties, that w should go on till the erack of doom, slandering and villifving each otber, Cheating, wrangling and quarrelling, derid ing truth and deifying falsehood, floating honor In tbe face and blackening outlives and bisfories by the meanest of acts? Can we not enjoy real and rational libeity without falsifying tbe acts of our opponents, lying about our neighbors and publishing vile slan ders of those we do not like ; without cheat ing eacb otber in conventions and swindling each otber on every possible occasion ? We believe our liberties can be preserved without resorting to sucn disgraceful proceedings, bicb increase with alarming rapidity as years roll by, aod which are really the worst enemies ot republican institutions, because if persisted in tbey are calculated to des roy tnem Dy destroying all public confidence, up rooting all belief in private or publio virtue, by arraying man against man, citizen against citizen, brother against brother, in bitter bos tility, and finally leading to anarchy, tbe grave of all republics. Fellow-citizens', tbe price we are paying for our liberties is too dear so dear that we cannot keep up tbe in stalments without bankrupting our morals and honor, and wben we are bankrupt of these articles, tben larewejl, a long tarewell to our liberties. Their ghastly spectres will only remain as monumenls of our fillies and wickedness, and on our national tombstone future generations will write this epitaph : "Here lies a Republic, whose citizens paid too great a price for their liberties, and thus sacrinced their institutions.
