and patriotism.
To all such, may we not, reverently para~
phrasing the language of the Apostle, say :
'• For as tho body is one, and hath many
members, and all the members of that one
body, being many, are one body, so also is
our country!
" For by one spirit are we all baptized in-to
one body, whether we be Jew or Gentile
bond or free—and have all been made to
drink into one spirit—the spirit of the Con-stitution
.'
i: For our confederacy is not one member
but many. If the North shall say because I
am not the South, 1 am not of the Union, is
it, therefore, not of the Uniont
" And if the Fast shall say, because I am
not of tho West, I am not of the Union, is it,
therefore, not of the Union ?
"If the whole country were manufacturing,
where were the cotton and sugar growing.
"If tho whole were agricultural where tho
commercial and manufacturing ?
" But now hath the wisdom of our fathers
set the separate States, every one of them in
every one of them in the Union as it has
pleased them.
" And if they were all one State where
were the Union ?
" But now are they many States yet but
one Confedeaacy.
"And the Batt cannot say unto tho West,
I have no fceed of thee; nor, again, the Norh-ern
States to the Southern, we havo no need
of you!
"And whether one member suffer, all the
members suffer with it; or one member bo
honored, all members rejoice with it!"
These are the teachingsof inspiration! And
1 appeal to my fellow-citizens, in all parts of
the country, if they do not convey to us, an
instructive lesson cf prictical wisdom and
patriotic duty !
Let us, then, in everything that effects tho
enicrest of our country, cuJfc"vato a compre-hensive,
catholic, national sentiment! Let
us discard from our confidence and our coun-cils
all fanatical agitators" who attempt oy
any device whatever, to array one portion
Of tho Union against another! Let us re-member,
that while each section has its ap~
propriate function to perform, each is essen-tial
to the wellaro and security of the whole.
Let us bear in mind that "the liberty and
independence we posress aro tho work of
joint councils and joint efforts—of common
dangers, sufferings and success." Irstead of
fostering local jealousies, and striving to in-flame
one section against another, let me
urge you fellow-citizens, in tho impressive
language of Washington, to raise up your
minds and your hearts to a just appreciation
"of tho immense valuo of your .National
Union to your collective and individua Ihap-ness,
so that you may cherish a cordial hab-itual
and immovable attachment to it—accus-toming
yourselves to think and to speak
of it as a palladium of your political safety
and prosperity—watching for its preserva-tion
with jealous anxiety—discountenancing
whatever may suggest even a suspicion that
it can in tiny event bo abondoned—and in-dignantly
frowning upon the first dawning of
every attempt to alienate any portion of our
country from tho rest, or to enfeeble the sa-cred
ties which now link together the var-ious
parts !"'|

SINGULAR MOUSS'S NEST.—In cutting a
four pound loaf of bread a few days ago in a
farmer's family at Barn well, near Oundle, a
small orifice was observed, and on being fol-lowed
up to the centre of tbe loaf, a mouse's
nest was discovered, snugly and warmly
constructed of tho leaf of a copy-book, torn
into shreds, on which reposed nine young
mice. What makes it more singular is that
the loaf was baked only on the preceding day.

WHAT ENOLAND PAYS FOR PERFUMES—It
is estimated from reliable data, that the Brit
ish nation spends annually about 82,000,000
for perfumery. The annual revenue derived
from tbe duty on foreign essential oils, used
in the manufacture of scents, is about 860,-
000, that from tho importation of Eau do Co-logno
is about 850,000 more, while the duty
on tho spirits used in manufacturing the es-sential
oils into perfumery is at least 8100,-
000 additional.
PROGRESS IN JEKUSALEM.—Jerusalem has
boen making rapid strides of late towards a
new-born civilization, and its progress has
been watched with interest, tho most in-tense,
on the pare of those who associate
with the name of the holy city ideas of tho
millennium, and tho speedy return of the
Jews. Largo building, convents, hospitals
and churches aro rising in every direction,
and thousands oi Russian employees and
Jews aro becoming residents of the place.

SOWING SEDITION IN IRELAND.—Jno. Mitch-ell,
who is now in Paris, has commenced a
series of letters in a Dublin paper called the
irshman (similar in its politics and designs
State would place us in such a condition of
stability and security, as would induce im-migration,
with capital enough to overba-lance
the difference of expenses under a
State Government; that, as a State, we
should havo the choosing of our own offi-cers;
but, as a Territory, wc aro governed
by men whoso political views and aspira-tions
are aro the very reverse of ours—men
appointed by the Territorial Administration,
which has ever shown a marked unfriendli-ness
towards us, and that tho democrats
would not be adverse to coming )iu as a
State, ifthey themselves had made tho Con-stitution,
and wero to come into power un-der
it. Moreover, say the Republicans, if we
are admitted as a State now, and we receive
from Congress the liberal donation ol public
lands, which has been bestowed on other
new States, wo shall obtain something to as-sist
us in building our roads, bridges, &c.;
but, if we remain a Territory a few years
longer, there will be none to bestow.
Tho Democrats further allege, that, in dis-tricting
the Territory, the Convention has
so Gerrymandered it, as to secure to the
Republicans the first legislature, and conse-quently,
tho first Senators to Congress.
The other party, in reply, withont deny-ing
the charge aver thai, if it is so, the Dem-ocrats
aro the last men that have any right
to complain; because, say they, a man from
almost any State in the Union, tan refer to
the time when his State was Gerrymandered
by tho Democrats to secure a party success.
Gerrymandering is certainly not the truth
of the play, but it is the manner in which
every party, in turn, plays it. But it cer-tainly
furnishes a fair pretext to the Demo-crats
for putting forth their strength, for il
they are in the majority, and vote down the
Constitution, they will not MuTor by the pro-posed
districting. If tho other party are
really strongest, it seems but consistent that
they should havo the ascendency.
In some way a proposition was got up to
annex to Kansas that part ef Nebraska that
lies South of the l'latte River. It includes a
verv large scope of tho best and most popu-lous
portion of that Territory. The people
of this portion of Nebraska, apparently not
averse, went so iar as to choose and send on
Delegates to the Kansas Constitutional Con-vention.
These Delegates were treated po-litely,
but the project of annexation was
voted down by the Republican members of
the Convention.
The Democrats endeavor to make capital
out of this, alleging that so splendid an offer
was never before made, not to say refused;
that by tho annexation we would have 20,-
000 additional inhabitants to assist in defray-ing
State expenses, ninety miles of Missouri
River boundary, and very many square miles
of Territory.
The Republicans contend that the project
was got up by the Democrats to make Kan-says
a democratic State; that, if thero were
no other reason, they would oppose it for
that alone. They Bay, furthermore, that it
would operate to keep Nebraska a long time
in a Territorial condition; and thi-.t, by the
annexation, the people of Southern Kansas
would be deprived of many advantages which
they now expect, and aro entitled to, such as
the Capital, Railroads, &c, and that the
issues—mere Straggles for office under party State, as bounded by the Constitution, is as
names—open a play for the ins by which the large as the Slate of New York, which they
leaders are to acquire influence and cmolu- say is large enough. Thero is between the
ment,—tho people nothing, but an empty I fertile regions ot Kastern Kansas and the
triumph. Thero is a game of this kind now Rocky Mountains, COO or 400 miles of coun-playing
in this Territory. Tho issues made try, which is not only uninviting, but utterly
up are unimportan;, but the party success uninhabitable. The Western boundary of

KANSAS CORRESPONDENCE.
AXDKRSOX COUSTT, K. T. Oct. 7lh, 1859.
MESSRS. SHERWOOD & LONG: 1 havo hither-to
in writing to you from Kansas avoided pol-itics.
It was a subject on which I could not
trust myself. You may well recollect when
I was a thorough-going Henry Clay Whig.
After working in party traces long enough,
I got a better view of the subject. My bet-ter
view led mo to the discovery, that unless
the mass of voters are well enough informed,
and prudent enougii to judge for themselves,
and have independence enough to carry out
their decision, they will bo duped by party
leaders, and made mere stepping stones
by which designing politicians will elevate
themselves into place and power; said politi-cians
taking good care to mako only a faint
glass of whiskey, and, when he hi.d druitk i«
off, led them to the polls. Upon ther f'Otea
being challenged, the agent referred ;hlm to
the "Organic Act," which be said fniidee
that all Indians that have adopted th i Ifibits
of civilized men, shall be entitled tovt. e.—
"But," say tbe challengers, "thesohft' not
adopted such habits." "Did you lot see
each one turn off his glass of whiskey replies
tho agent triumphantly," and is no!t that a
habit of civilized men ? The election ft* or
against the Constitution went off on *"ues-day
4th iust.; but the remit is not yot'kto«n.

that by ratifying this Constitution, we uliall
deprive ourselves of the rich mints, the im-mense

Tho first, division of corporation is jiiito ag-gregate
and solo. Corporations aggregate
consist of many persons united together i'lto
one society, and are kept up by a pi rpotual
succession of members, so as to conti ino for-ever;
of which kind, are tho mayor «ind
commonalty of a city, the head aud felltjws
of a college, and all Railroad compan cs. I
Corporations solo consist of one pesBM
only and his successors, in some pa tic-liar
station, who arc incorporated by iavj, ill or-der
to givo them some legal capneit-es Jind
advantages, particularly that of pSffSfPtV,
which in their natural persons thev could
not havo. Corporations are also di\ ded
into eclesiastical, where the DSCsabers that
compose it are entirely spiritual persons;

of tomporal purposes. Tho elccmo.sy ary

distribution of alms or bounty, of th ■ t un-der

In England, corporations are cnati I by
the king's letters patent, and in this tato
by the Legislature.
When a corporation is created, a i ISM

must sue and In- sued, and do all legal p.ct->.
Such name is the very being of its OOSU itu«

it acquires many powers, rights, capaci-ties
and incapacities. Some of these arc ne«
