i t)ar eltictoi were gotnewbat taken by or
'prisejast night by the arrival, uoheraldtd, of
Hon. J. II. 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. . ...

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. '
