Her writing was full of pathos, and evinced such deep notion of soul, that friend of her's accused her of being a maniac on the sub ject of Temperance, whereupon she wrote the following ines Go feel what 1 have felt.

Go bear what I have borne-Sink "neath the blow by father dealt. And the cold world's proud scorn Then suffer on from year to year Thy sole relief the scalding tear. Go kneel as I have knelt. Implore, beseech and pray Strive a besotted heart to melt, The downward course to stay. Be dashed with bitter curse aside, Your prayers burlesqued, your tears defied.

Go weep as I have wept O'er a loved father's fall See every promised blessing swept Youth's sweetness turned to gall Life's fading flowers strewed all the way That brought me up to woman's day. Go see what I have seen, Behold the strong man bowed With gnashing teeth lips bathed in blood And cold the livid brow Go catch his withered glance and see There mirrored his soul's misery. Go to thy mother's side, And hercrush'd bosom cheer Thine own deep anguish hide Wipe from her cheek the bitter tear Mark her worn frame and withered brow The gray that streaks her dark hair now With fading frame and trembling limb And trace the ruin back to hitn Whose plighted faith, in early youth, Promised eternal love and truth, But who, forsworn, hath yielded up That promise to tbe cursed cup And led her down, through love and light And all that made her prospects bright And chain'd het there 'mid want and strife That lowly thing a drunkard's wife And stamp'd ou childhood's brow so mild, That withering blight, the drunkard's child. Goliear, and feel, and see, and know, All that my soul hath felt and known, Then look upon the wine cup's glow, See if its beauty can atone Think of its flavor you will try When all proclaim "'tis drink and die Tell me I fi ATI the bowl Hate is a feeble word loathe abhor my very tout With strong disgust is stirred.

VVistnr'a Ralsaiu of XV ltd Cherry. East Boston, May 23d, 1847. Mr. S. IV.

Foirle Sir 1 1 have seen so much of ihe vir tue of "Wtstar's Balsam of Wild Cherry," that I feel it my dutv to add my testimony in its praise. My son. about 14 years of age, has for the last ten months been afflicted with a severe cough, pains in tne side and ooay, ana a gradual wasting, until he was but a mere living skeleton. I had had the advice of diree physicians, but none of them could give fcim any relief, and gradually, yet surely, he seemed to be sinking into the tomb. Happening accidentally to see some of your "Free Almanacs," we felt as though the Balsam would help him, as there were some cases that hart been cured when they were as bad as he was.

I therefore pro cured a bottle of Dr. Kidder, the ncent in this place, and be- lore he had used all ot it he began to grow belter, and in usinc three bottles his couch was all gone, and he is now en joying good health, for which he is solely indebted, through .1 1 i r7 me oiessiug oi uruu, iu rr isiur juuiutn vj recr i WM.

By Telegraph to the New-York Tribune. Til It EE DAYS LATER FHO.U FRAN CI.CO. Bad Weather. Scarcity of Gold.

Steamer Cal ifornia jiai deserted. By mail from San Bias ofl the 29th March, via Mexico and Vera Cruz, we are in possession of advices from San rrancisco to the 6ih of March, three days later than those we received on Tuesday through the Mexican Monitor Kepublicano. At ban ranci.ico on the 6th, and for several days pre vious, the weather had been extremely unpleasant, and tne snow was still remaining on the placer above. Uwingto the lact that large quantities of the precious metal had been sent away as remktances to England, Valparaiso and elsewhere, gold had become compara tively scarce at San Francisco. Tbe price of it was $15 and upward per ounce but little could be bad at SI 5.

Ihe mail steamer Laliloroia lay at anchor in the bay. Her mates, engineer, and crew had all deserted imme diately on her arrival, Capt. Marshall having no power to prevent them from following their inclinations. Po- body was remaining on board except tho Captain, and it was impossible to tell when or how he would be able to supply the places oi his missing officers and men Moreover, there was no coal to be procured at San rrancisco. From San Bias our advices are to the 29th March.

The steamer Oregon arrived there on the 22d March and sailed fur San Diego direct, with the intention oi not stopping at Mazatlan, as she was unable to take on board any more passengers Capt. 1 earson ot the Oregon, aware of the desertion of the crew of the California, bad resolved to use every effort to preveut such a misfortune from occurring lo bis own ship. It was his determination to apply to the Commander of U. S. naval force of the station for a guard of marines sufficient to prevent his men from going of' lbe brig Cayuga was up for a return voyage to San Francisco, and would sail about the 10th of April.

She would carry 140 passengers. The bold, which hat beeu fitted up with berths, would bold a hundred the house on deck 15, and 16 could be bestowed in the cabin. The price to those who took places in the hold was $100. and every berth would be occupied. Steamlrs to New Haven.

We observe in the advertisement of ihe New Haven line of steamers that the Commodore, which has been making a trip ench way, daily, leaving here at 7 o'clock. and New Haven at io 1 P. has been withdrawn, leaving only oue boat on the line, the Connecticut, oue of the largest ard most splendid steamers in our waters. She is lo run at the same hours as heretofore, leaving New York at 4 o'clock, P. and New Haven at 1 1 o'clock in tbe evening.

The withdrawal of the day boat is in consequence of an arrangement recently concluded between the Hartford and New Haven Railroad Company (which owns the Commodore) and the New York and New Haven Railroad Company, by which the two roads are to play into each other's hands at New Haven, instead of running a competition against each other Hereafter passengers can be ticketed through from New York to Boston by railroad, and will avoid the delay which has frequently occurred at New Haven. The Hartford trains, except those connected with the night boat, the Connecticut, will run into the centre of New Haven and discharge their passengers at the depot of Ihe New York read. The arrangement is in mnny respects a desirable oue, though we confess we are sorry to lose the day steamboats, which in warm weather are much preferred by many to the heat and dust of a railroad car. The Connecticut is not owned by tbe Hartford and New Haven Railroad Company, but by the Connecticut River Steamboat Company. New York Jour, of Com.

A Man or Divkrs Occupations- During the cross examination of James V. Wilson, in the case of ihe ship Franklin, tho counsel drew from him bis personal history for several years back, which shows a singularly varied and chequered career. Wilson stated that be served an apprenticeship at 6hip building, aud afterwards was en gaged in lumbering along shore in Maine hist came to Boston iu 1827, Irom hastport proceeded to Meuford and worked at ship building then worked on the dry dock in Charlestown Navy Yard, under Gen. Jackson's administration next" loafed ab.jul" for several months; then worked in the store of Ihomas B. Wales Co.

afterwards drew a handcart and did trucking and team. ns lor two years; excavated Copn'a Hill for the Gas Company built the road from L.ist Boston to Salem Turnpike; was employed by the Brunswick Canal Company iu Geo. until they failed then contracted to build a railroad from Bedford lo Williamsburg io New York, but it fell through next kept a grocery in St. John, New Brunswick, and soon burst op," returned to Boston and drove a linclt about a year: ihen opened a provision store Bt tbe corner of Causeway and Merri mack streets, in 1843 was a commission merchant on Eastern Railway wharf in 1845 failed in 1846, wilh assets not sufficient to pay magistrate's fees about this lime bought an interest in ship rankho, bavins pre viously owned the Trio, had been interested in schooner Jerome and barques Thetis and Venus. Besides this run of business, Wilson has had a family of at least nine children, and will probably succeed in saving himsell from the Slate I rison, alter developing that he richly de serves to be seut there.

Chronotype. Norfolk nuil ISoalon. "In 1806 Mr. Jefferson prophesied that Norfolk would speedily outstrip New York, Boston, Philadel pliia, and Baltimore. The traveller Melish gives ihe following account of a conversation which be bad with the President on this subject It appeared to him that Norlolk would probably, in the process of lime, bo the greatest seaport in the United States, New Orleans, perhaps, excepted.

He pointed out the circumstance of the vast confluence of waters that constituted tne outlet ot the Chesapeake Hay, on wnicn iorions is situated, and remarked that these rivers were es yet but partially set sled; but thev were rapidly settling up, and when the population was lull, tue quantity ot surplus produce would be im mense, and Norlolk would probably become the greatest depot in the United States, except New Or eans. Since the above prediction was uttered, Boston has increased four-fold in population aud ten-fold or twenty, fold in weulih, while Norlolk has remained stationary. if, indeed, she bas not gone considerably backward. And yet, to judge Irom the roup, the commercial capa bilities ot Norlolk are a hundred tunes greater than those of Boston. The former city stands at the outlet of a noble estuary, into which magnificent rivers pour the weaun oi an almost ununuiess extent ol tortile territory.

Boston, on tbe contrary, stands on a rock-bound coast. without any water communication for five miles into ihe interior, and the staple productions of her neighborhood are granite and ice. Mr. Jefferson knew all these facts, and his judgment on the face of thines was most logi cally plausible, lhat Norfolk must become everything anu Boston utile or nothins. He left, however, the moral elements oat of the calculation." Itnrnra' Pile I.ollon.

id dec 5 so a will probably lor a ion time renia unimportant to os. But the discovery of miuoral products in other portions. has excited, to an unexampieu degree, me cupiouy our countrymen, and ot tne world. If the representations correspond jn any reasonaDie proportion with the truth, perhaps we may be permitted to anticijate, many aud great advantages to individuals, and to the natiou. More especially, if, instead of being otoxicated bv colden hopes.

Ihe adventurers bnll sub mit themselves to be governed by that sound discretion, sod uniform prudence, which in times past, have char acterized the people ot lew tngiana. But unless the benetits ot nisiory snail an oe iosi upuu us, we cannot fail to perceive lhat those nations, posses-iin" the control of mining regions like those iu Cal'for- uia. have not hitherto, been among the most tnnying and that for the most part, the individuals immediately in mining operations, nave not oeen among io rich. The experience of the world demonstrates, that the 'J il. nttAnfl experience ot tne worm ueuiousiraics, iui persevering industry, with its usually attend my, are most favorable to health, to vvealtb.aml results ot ant econom morals.

If our forefather, two hundred years since, had discovered in their vicinity, mines of gold similar to those in California, does any one believe mat mey vvoun uao left behind them, a character nt all superior to wnai now is Or that we their descendants, 6houid nave been any more prosperous or happy I Necessarily connected wim mis great auumuu iu national domaiu, another question, demanding our serious consideration. Shall slavery be permitted to ex tend itself over these newly acquired regions, wnetner it has to this time been excluded Or shall these regions, in this particular, be in a worse condition, as part Sf the Uuited Elates, than while they were under the dominion of Mexico It becomes us New England men, to approach this delicate subject in tbe spirit of forbearance, and regret, rather than lhat ol animosity, or complaint: ever keeping it in mind, that though our ancestors were among the first to discover, and apply the remedy for slavery, they were also among the most active in its introduction into our country. Those who still own slaves within the United States, are urging jt upon us as matter of wrong, that they are in danger of being restrained from removing with them iuto these new territories. They have been accustomed to consider this class of servants merely as property attached to theirpersoiis.andtrausportableat theirpleasure. They do not seern to have realized, that freedom belongs to every man by the law of his nature, that slaverv is an exception to, and an infringement upon this law and that slavery can rightfully exist, (if at by force of human legislation.

Liberty is the ordinance of God Slavery is the work of man. The provisions introduced into the Constitution of the United Mates, and on which reliance is confidently placed for the protection of slavery, owe their or gin ta a consciousness of this position, aud evince its truth. The permission granted to masters to pursue, and retake their runaway slaves, extends only to non-resident masters. Should a master remove with his slaves within the limits of a nou slaveholding State, and become a resident therein, the slaves must immediately, and by mere operation of municipal law, become free from bondage. If such is lbe law within the limits of non slaveholding States, why should not the same rule be extended to territories to be made States.

If it is a hardship pon masters, that they cannot transport their slaves into the free Stales and territories, is it not equally hard upon those dwelling within tbe free. States, it slavery can be extended oil over the territories acquired, or to be acquired, with the privilege to the owners, of considering them merely as chattels, and at the same time enumerating them among their fellow citizens, in tbe proportion of five to three thereby greatly increasing their ascendency over Ihe free Stales? The territories belonging to the United States are sub ject ouly to the legislation of Congress, and if, iu the estimation of Congress, slavery is an evil, shall it be legislated into existence 1 by not rather legislate it out of existence It is evident from various considerations, that what are called the compromises in the constitution of the United States, on this subject, were adopted only iu reference to the then boundaries ol the Union, and witn a beiiei lhat their necessity would be temporary. Washington, and members of thecouvenlion which framed that instrument, agreed with Sherman, and Ellsworth, and their associates, as to the character, and influences of slavery. It was reserved for statesmen of modern date, to discover that slavery is an essential ingredient in genuine republicanism. Whatever differences of opinion there may be among us, as to Slavery within its present boundaries; or bs to I I the measures respecting wnicn we ougni io auoju or however much we may feel ourselves bound to submit its perpetuity, wiihui its present limits, we can uever to us inio any poruou oi our country, where it has hitherto been carefully prohibited.

To do this, we do not fuel ourselves oounu euoer as civilians, eras moralists: and I deem it matter of devout gratitude to that Being who coutrolletb the hearts of men. that this sentiment has become among us, so universal. I commend to your festering care the interests of the Militia. It is the only nilituiy force at all compatible with onr republican Our predecessors have found in it a sufficient delenco from foes without, and foes within thoir hosiers, and it is alone to this class of soldiers that we must look for adequate security from similar dangers, and fnrunholdine tbe civil magistracy. The Connecticut Militia has never been found deficient iu general intelligence, or personal bravery.

But without intending to dergate from tho praise justly due lo the officers, for their proficiency already made under discouraging circumftaices. I would suggest for your consideration whether stme facilities may nut be granted them iu the acquisition of that military science, and practical skill, so indispinsable in modern warfare tbe attainment of which, llifir position in society, and thoir avocations ns civilians, rnder exceedingly difficult Those who undervalue the Militia do not consider how much they are indebted to it for ihe security of life, aud much that renders life desirable. It is hardly necessaryfor me to say that too much at tention cannot be bestowed upon the education of our youth. Onr fathers haw always considered the cause of religion and education is With them the prosperity of our schools, Academies, and Colleges, has invarinbly been an obj-wt of anxious solicitude; aud in our Halls of Legislatioi the education of the youug, bus at all times been deemid a pai amount duly. While we are in tie full enjoyment ot their labors, let us be careful to emilate their laudable example, so as uot only to perpetnats, but materially to improve these most valuable insnlutiots ot learning institutions upon which not only our individual respectability and happiness, but our reputation a a State, essentially depend.

Gentlemen I haveonlf to assure you of my cordial cooperation, in any measures tending to advance the cause of science, of virtue, auc' of enlightened civilization. The facts respecting the School Fund, will be carefully detailed in the report of the Commissioners, from which it will appe.T, lhat the capital of this fund is ewil to 2,077.64 1 1 that the sum divided during the year among the school districts, is 50 hat the number of childien between the age of lour and sixteen, is 33.9 1 1. I know of no reason to doubt that the principal of this fund is in a safe and prosperous condition. The annual report of the Comptroller of public accounts will be presented fur your inspection. By examining this document yon will find that the balance of money in the Stale Treasury on the 1st of April, 1810 including $13,000 borrowed wiihiu the year frou the School Fnnd 96- The whole amount of indebtedness from the Slat to the School Fund, for money borrowed at various times, is equal lo $46,212 43.

The Judicial expensesfor the last year amount to 84, exceeding, by about $1,000, the expenses of the preceding year. The endeavors to lessen this class ot expendi ures have thusfar proved ineffectual, aud the subject matter will demand from you a strict scrutiny. Tbe General Assemblf at its session in 1848, passed an Act authorizing tbe parties in suits at law to be examined as witnesses. In the exposition of this Statute, serious doubts have arisiu, especially as to whether the fiamers intended it should include criminal trials. How far a prisoner should be tempted by the hope of escape, to testily falsely how far he should be required to criminate himself, or upon a refusal to testify, subject himself to injurious presumptions, arequestionsof serious import.

Our Statute prohibiting usury is enforced by sanctions exceedingly penal. compared with the offence. Is it expedient to prevent tt debtor to invalidate his voluntary contract, by his ow testimony I Or by his testimony to sustain a prosecution for taking usury opon such contract It may te presumed that the experience of a year will aliord some aid in ascertaining to what extent this Statute condtcesto the attainment of justice, or whetherauy modifications Te required. Fully concurring with my immediate predecessor, in tbe sentiments by him expressed in bis communication lo the General Assembly at its last session, respecting ihe im perfections of our laws relative to creditors and deblors, and finding thai no legislation has been id to remedy the evils which are admitted to exist, I feel it my duty to ask for this important subject your serious reflection during tbe present session. Reports will be laid before you by the several officers i ii r.
