Courier. Washington Citt, March, 1347, My Friends for uch I may call many of you from peraoual acquaintance, aud all of you from my thirty year devotion to the interest of your country 1 think ritrhl to make thi communication to von at the pres ent moment, when the adjournment of Congress, with out passing tbe bill lor your government and protection seem to have left you in a state of abandonment by your mother country, liut such is not the case, on are nut abandoned nor will you be denied protection for not agreeing to admit slavery.

a man of the South, aud a slaveholder, tell you this. Tbe use of Representatives, as early as tbe middle of January, bad passed tbe bill to give you a territorial Gov ernment, and in that bill bad sanctioned and legalized your Provisional Organic Act, one of the clauses ol which forever prohibits the existeuce of slavery in Oregon. An amendment Irom the benate commitee, to which this bill was referred, proposed to abrogate lhat prohi bitiou and in the delay and vexation to which that amendment gave rise, the whole bill waa laid upon the table and lost lor (be session. This will be a great apixiintment to you, aud a real calamity already five years with law, or legal institution for the protection of lite, liberty aud property! aud now doomed to wait a year longer. This i a strange aud anomalous condition almost incredible to contemplate, and most critical to endure.

A colony ot Iree men, 4000 mile from the metropolitan government, and without laws or government lu preserve them But do not be alarmed or desperate, you will uot be outlawed for not admitting sla very, iour liindaineutul act azamst that copied from the ordinance ol 1787 (ihe work of the great men ol the South, the great day of the South prohibiting slavery in territory far lens northern than yours; will not be abrogated nor is that the intention of the prime mover of the amendment. Upou Ihe record, the Judiciary Committee of the Senate is the author of that amendment but not so the fact. That Committee is only midwife to it. Its author is the same mind that generated tha "fire brand resolutions'" of which I send yon a copy and ol which Ihe amendment is the legitimate derivation. Oregon is not the object.

The most rail-id propagandist of slavery cannot expect to plant it on tbekbores of (lie Pacific, in the latitude of Wisconsin and the lake of the Wood. A home agitation, for election and disunion purposes, is all that is intended by thrusting this firebrand question into your bill and, at the next session, hen it is thrntt iu agaiu, we will scourge it ou, and pass your lit! I as it ought to be. I promise you this iu Ihe name of tho South, as well as of the the event will not deceive me. In the meantime the President will give you all the protection which existing laws, aud detachments ot the army and navy, can enable him to extend to you and until Congress has time to act, your friends must rely upon you to continue to govern yourselves, as you have heretofore done, under the provision of your own voluntary compact, and with the justice, harmony and moderation which is due to your own character aud to the honor ot die American name. I send you by Mr.

Shinelya copy of the bill of the late session, both as it paesed the House of Representatives, and as proposed to bo amended in the Semie, with Ihe Senate's vote upon laying it on ihe table, and copy of Mr. Calhoun' resolutions, (posterior in date to the amendment, but nevertheless, father lo :) ulso a copy of your own provisional organic act, a printed by order of the Senate; all which will put you completely in possession of the proceeding of Congress on your petition for a territorial government, and for the protection and security of your rights. Iu conclusion, I havo to assure you that the same spirit which has made me tbe fi ieud of Oregon for thirty years which led me denounce the joint occupation treaty the day it was made, and to oppose its renewal in 1828, and lo labor for its abrogation until it was terminated the same spirit which led me to reveal Ihe grand destiny of Oregon, in articles written in 1318, and to support every measure for her benefit since this same spirit still animates me, and will continue to do so while I live, which. I hopo, will be long enough to see an em. porium of Asiatic commerce at the mouth of your river, and a stream of Asiatic trade pouring into the valley of the Mississippi through the channel of Oregon.

Your friend aud fellow citizen, THOMAS II. BENTON. From Ike Dayton Transcript. Tbe Fire nl Dnyion. Great destruction of Property Seven Stores, Pork House, and several Tenements Destroyed.

The fire broke out on First-street, in the rearof Geo. G. Davis's iron store and opposite Swaynie's tavern about 4 o'clock P. M. It has destroyed seven stores and one pork house, beside a dwelling honse.

Among the principal sufferers ure Geo. C. Davis, John Kench, 1 hompson Jc 5ous, Uren iley, Warren hsta- brook, and Alexander Swaynie. The black smoke caused by the burning of great qtian tilies of pork, lard, flaxseed, and other unctioua sub stances, rose iu immense volumes, darkening the very heavens, aud rendering the conflagration awfully sub lime. Moderate estimates place the aigreiate loss at $30, 000; but many suppose it is 40 or oO.OOO.

The lira was caused by a spark lulling upon Ihe roof of Mr. Davis building. Before the engines we brought to bear upon it, it was beyond control. The brick building on the east corner was owned by John Rench. One of the rooms was occupied as a stove store by Orcn Wiley, who succeeded in removing his entire stuck, with but little damage.

In the buildin" owned by F. Estabrook were stored 3.000 bushels of flax-seed, belonging to V. and F. C. Estubrook; this is entirely lost.

The heirs of W. SI. Shrieve and Mr. Monk, of Louisville, owned tho two store rooms adjoining. Que of them was unoccupied, and in the other was the stove aud tin ware establishment of C.

Thompson i Sons, who saved most ol their stock. The frame warchonse of Geo. C. Davis, and the two brick store-rooms west of it, belonging to George Edgar and W. A.

Sheets were unoccupied. Alex. Swaynie meets with a heavy loss, near 80.000 lbs. of smoked meat owned by him having been consumed in Davis's smoke-house. Mr.

was without in sura nee, the policy for an insurance of $2,000 iu the Fire man office liuviug expired on the 1st ot this month. John Rench had about 3.000 bushels of corn slowed in his pork house, on which (here was no insurauce, and which is, of course, a total loss. Earthquaki tie ths Stati or Niw York.

Pablie High School. We understand that the Committee appointed by the First School Society to select a ite, and contract for a boilding for the High School, have not not only done fheir work, but have subscribed $2200 to meet the extra expenses. Itiey have contracted wun nwu Wheaton, for a building 50 by 75 feet, containing two school rooms, each 49 feet square and 134 feet high. Connected with each school room are two rooms for recitation. There will be an attic story, with an arched room 1GJ feet high in the centre, 73 by 48 feet.

The boose is to be finished by the first of October. The original design was to have a building 64 liy feet But the Committee, after looking carefully at the subject and visiting various placca to examine school houses, concluded to have iutt the right building, ana nay the extra expense themselves. The cost of the building and of properly grading the lot beyond theap propriation voted by the Society, is estimated at $2200, which is already subscribed by the CommUtee. We thought the time and trouble necessary to carry out the design of the Society, was a burden sufficiently heivy for the Committee to bear; and now, in addition to all this, to see ihera come forward and pay over two thou sand dollars out of iheir own pockets, awaken our gratitude and entitle them to our lasting praise. We are confident that tar city will not bo one whit behind any other in New England, in the beauty and value of her High School.

And we are equally con fident of another thing, viz: no district belonging to the First School Societv would wish to be setoff, if the value of an efficient Higlf School to all the primary schools was understood. The Committee, and the citizens of Hartford generally, have entered upon this enterprise with a liberality, a zeal, and with those enlarged views upoo the subject of popular education, that warrant the happiest results.

The latest instance i found in a a long letter of Vice President Dal-la, in favor of securing the control of the Isthmus of Panama, and the construction of a ship canal across the continent. He thinks this perfectly constitutional, and Father Ritchie ay ditto.

But appropriation fur rivera and harbor within our undisputed territory are utterly unauthorized What a blessed thing it is to have a conscience quick to discern unconstitutional usurpation committed by Congress The "principle of '38' are in danger. Virginia resolution" go tor nothing. They are trodden under foot by the very Napoleon of the press." Cannot some one be found, nursed in the ancient dominion to rescue as from such an apostacy South Carolina is hopeless, lor Mr. Calhoun has delined the Mississippi to bean tea. He will not make good the defalcation of Mr.

Ritchie from the cardinal republicanism of old. Weu't the Timet lift up it voice against such "corrapt and log-rolling" plans? Authority vs. Knowledge. Hon. Waddy Thompson is well known to have a more knowledge of Mexico and the Mexican people than almost any of our public men.

Mr. Calhoun's habits of investigation are also well known. Gen. Taylor ought to know something of the country in which he ha commanded. And it is remarkable that these three men agree in the belief that the further prosecution of offensive operations in Mexico is inexpedient, and will be product'Te of no good result.

Mr. Houston is also understood to disapprove of the present plan of opera, tions. What testimony Mr. Pulk and Secretary Marcy have to balance all this is not apparent. They seem to think that the job in band is as simple and easy us the stitching of a pair of breeches, and act accordingly.

The war was begun in a peculiarly IT-hand manner, aud has been a sort of extempore affair from the beginning thus far. If, as is asserted, the army is unanimously of opinion that the war should cease, so far as active movements on our part are concerned, while no one disputes the power and authority of the commander-in-chief to order any mode of warfare that seems wise to himself, the people will ponder the sentiments of such competent wit-new a those we have named. The obstinate battler, the bloodshed, and the growing expense of the conflict as naw managed, will reat upon the originator and the manager of the war, and if they cau be avoided or lessened by adopting a different and equully elTectivo aya. tern, the responsibility will be a most weighty one.

We never felt more inclined to echo Mr. Burcliell's "Fudge!" than while reading the following from the Button Whig, in reference to the election of 1S44 That a large part of the northern Whigs were without a doubt, opposed to the Annexation of Texas we readily admit, but that Mr. Clay independent of the party was as truly opposed to that measure was not so clearly manifest. Our own opinion is that Mr. Clay was realty opposed to that scheme, but it must be acknowledged that he had failed to impress the public mind with that fact "beyond a reasonable doubt" The no.

torious "Alabama letter" was an unfortunate document for Mr. Clay. That letter in our judgment settled the contest The moral power of the canvas was arrested. It was impossible to remove the doubt of a Urge proportion of the voter in the free State and the direct consequence was the defeat of the Whips." So, these precious Anti-Texas folk had the assurance of Mr. Clay that he was opposed to Annexation, and that of bis friends as also the assurance that Mr.

Polk was in favor of that measure. But they had doubts. Therefore, rather than elect a mau who they feared would support the scheme, they coolly chose one who, they knew would do so. They are welcome to all the glory they gained by defeating Henry Clay. Biblamaaia.

Some comments have been excited by the purchase of an ancient bible for the Smithsonian Institute, at the enormous sum of 500. It would seem as if money devised for the diffusion of knowledge might be better ex. pended than in such venerable follies a this. It doe not appear that any more knowledge, biblical or otherwise, could be gained from that bible than from a cheaper and more modern edition. Tax Americas Review, for May, ia on hand.
