bv the gener.il gdllllM 1. whkh want of time at the close of the last session prevented my submit ting -n the return to tin- Hoiiso of Representatives, with obji-etions, of the bill entitled, " an act irmkint,' appropriations for the n pair, jiteservatioa and com pletion of certain public works heretofore com menced under authority of law f but the span- in ihis communication already occupied with other matter of immediate publie exigency constrains me to reserve that subject tor a special message, witiuit rill be transmitted to the two houses of Congress at an early day The iudicial establishment of "the United Stitcs requires Modification, and certain reforms in the manner of conducting the legal business of the go vernment are also much needed ; but as I have ad dressed vou ujx'n both of these subjects at length bdbte, I have only to call your attention to the sug gestions then made. Mv former recommendations, in relation to suit able provision for various objects of deep interest to tne umonw w c r.cioi v,o.u,u..kS ..re ,e - i -f iL. i , r v i u: a national character, and are important, independ ently of their relation to the prosperity of the only considerable organized community iu the Union, en tirely uim-presented in Congress. 1 have thus presented suggestions on such sub jects as appear to me to be of particular inti-rest or importance, and therefore most worthy of consider ation during the short remaining period allotted to the labor of the present Congress. Our forefathers of the thirteen United Colonies, in at quiring their independence, and in founding this lb-publio of the United States of America, have devolved upon us, their descendants, the greatest and the most noble trusts ever committed to tin hands of man, imposing upon all. and especially such as the public will may have invested, for th time Wing, with political functions, the most sacred obligations. We have to maintain inviolate the great doctrine of the inherent riht of popular self government; to reconcile the largest liberty of the individual citizen, with complete security of the pub lic order; to render cheerful ofiedi. nce to tin- laws of the land, to unite in enforcing their execution, and to frown indignantly on all combinations to re KUt them; to harmonize a amoera and ardent devo tion to the Institutions of religious faith with the most universal religious toleration ; to preserve the tights of all by causing each to rfMMCt those of the wtber; to carry forward every 0001 improvement to tie uttermost limit of huro&n perfectibihry, by the free action of mind upon mind, not by the ob trusive intervention of misapplied force; to uphold the inteeritv and guard the limitations of our organic law; to preserve sacred from nil touch of usurpation, as the very palladium of our political salvation, the reserved power- of the several States and of the people ; to cherish, with loyal fealty and derated affection, this Union, ! the only sure foundation, on which the hopes of civil liberty rest; to administer government with Vigilant integrity and rigid eoon my; to cultivate peace and friendship with foreign bationa, and to demand and exact eqnal justice ir.mi an, nut to : wrong to none; to esciiew intermed dling with the national policy and the domestic re pnse of other governments an 1 to repel it .from our own; never to sttrink from war when the rights and the honor of the country c;i!!s us to arms, but to ultivate in preference the arts of peace, seek en largement or the rights of neutrality, and elevate and liberaUM the intercourse of nations; and by Mieh just ananonocnble menus, and mi h only, whilst exalting the condition of the Republic, to assure to it the legitimate influence and the benign authority of a great example amongst all the powers of Christendom. Under the solemnity of these convictions, the blessing ,t' Almighty God is earnestly invoked to i 111 . ii .i runnaeb and acts of the Government, to the end ciena upon vour aeiiocraiions. aim upon ;i that, wnii common zeal and common efforts, W nay, iii humble submission to the Divine will, coop-rite for the promotion of the supreme good of tin s Unit d .-sates. FRANKLIN PIERCE. W a: hington, Dec 4, 1854. Uarly Cli si racier. There is nothing I despise so much as to see a boy niiha cigar in hi imm li." Thus remarked one of the new I dry and most respected tmaiuee nu n of East Boston, standing the door of the Pnatoffirc wailing for the distribution of letters, as boy walked in, puflfirg n Sympathizing omenrhal with the g nth men, we fell inlo the fol lowing ri f cfions : W e imngicirrl th it in the course of human rvrnts this hny might be induced to apply at the gentle man's counting room for rmploj nn'iit.

How different would lnive been the result, if he first ad ol this boy, noticed by ihe merchant, hud been one that as plainly spoke of integrity and good sense, as the act of smoking did of weak ness and frivolity of character. The man would have remarked that boy, nnd if it should ever have come in his way to render him a serv.ee, no testimony would be needed to secure his favor. U'e would fain impress upon thu yming the great importance of forming good habits. One may lorsake his boyhood's errors when he he comes a man ; hut the chance is that instead of fcfing forsaken thv will be aggravated, and take on a rigidity which is like second nature to the individual, as he advances into manhood.

We have barely had time to glance this import- . ant document, and have neither room or desire to j infljct uxu our reatiers a en(nis commentary on it. It is a state paper which we think will be read w,t" more tnan ordinary interest. It is exempt ' from passion, and discusses with eminent ability, imxleration, and good sense, all the multifarious topics that are presented to the consideration of Congress. In regard to our Foreign policy, the President boldly avows his determination to protect and up hold the honor of our Government, while he will , ahutgLin from any iutermeddling with the affairs of other nations. "We commend this message to the perusal of our readers, simply with the further remark that, it will be found to be as able and dignified a state paper as ever emanated from the Executive branch of the Government. W Congress met on Monday last It will be a stormy and important session. We will endeavor to keep our readers posted on the various movements that take place. JEW The favor of our Raleigh correspondent was unavoidably crowded out this week likewise several Editorial articles. j-z? W. R. Myers, Esq., has introduced into the House of Commons a bill for the emancipation of the slave .Ikkkv. A notice to the effect that appli cation would be made to the Legislature for that purpose was some time since published in the town papers, and we are gratified to see that the initiatory ?teps have been taken. While, as a general rule, we are opposed to the increase, by law, of this clam of population, we think in this particular case there are ample reasons for a departure from the established law. Jerky is a remarkable nejrro, and by his integrity and wne ral good conduct has established a high character and won the sympathy and, we speak not too strong ly, the esteem of our entire community. Two summers ago he visited the North, with a gentleman of this town, and by his demeanor was I a practical and breathing lecture npon the absurd- itv of Abolitionism. A lengthy description, of his j doings and savings was prepared and published by our neighbor of the "Whig," which was copied by all the leading journals of the South. We hope the Legislature will pass the bill, and we think that wish will be cordially responded to by all who know Jerry. . . Fire. Yesterday, at 1 o'clock, we were startled bv the alarm of Fire, and fallowing the crowd, we soon ascertained that the U. S. Branch Mint was in a blaze. The fire was discovered before it had made liiudi nroirress. and bv the active- evertions of fcbnsA j who were early at the place, was extinguished before H W W m ihtnt-ii The tire is supposed to have originated by a spark from the chimney falling npon the shingles which are old and very dry. We hope this will be a warning which will le improved by hastening the formation of a Fire Company. We are authorized to state that the exer cises of Providence Acadetny will be resumed on the 2nd of January next. We are gratified to learn that Mr. Ki ykendall's health has greatly improved, ;ind by the opening session he will be able to dis- i ch M the of teach Mr. Kuykendall is a gentleman of classic attain ments and largo experience, and the youths who have lx'en educated at his school show the effect of careful and accurate training. The Force of Habit. A celt-bratid writer affirms that tobacco is used among no less than eight hundred millions ol men." Opium tuid other narcotics also have their millions ul devotees. 1 he craving lor such natcolics, and the habit of gratifying it, are de scribed as litile less universal than the desire for the con su mi p ion of the necessary material of our common food. What a commentary upon the power ol ha nil ! The story of Coleridge, die cel. t dt ruled poet und philnsopher, nnd that of I)e Quincy the mr-lani d English opium eaier, are airikina illustrations of this almost ominooten power, and lull of admonition. It is remarkable thai tobacco, the laste of which pri ti-s a t linl ciirk ! i kS n nc nnd iltcai clmnlil .hv.... , 1Mtfi, uuvii ll'Ulllllli: HIIU Ml-'i-iioi .'IMIUMI bv constant use hei-nma fin-lh M l.o......

There are few j inoiviouHin w no nave a natural tas: lor nnv or these, and yet few of those who ever become i slaves to their use will ever succeed in escaping' the deiTradino- Ihrald .m. When u am tnl.l at ' first the danger of these fascinating soothers and exciters we are disposed to ridicule the possibility of their ever becoming a necessity, and treit the idfa of over indulgence with derision and con tempt. Nevertheless the vicims, as is well known i may be counted by thousands, nay, millions. The .-laves of excess in one form or another, of tobacco, of opium, of alcohol, not to mention many other tempting nareo!ics, m iy be found in all portions of the earth among the rudo and civilized, l he haughty and the humble in the pal nee of the prince and the hut ol the peasant. We nre indeed 44 leeble creatures." small in bcdilv strength ; a grain of opium will conquer, or a lew crops ol laudanum lay us prostrate. But how much weaker in mind, when knewin" the evils to which they lead, we nre unable to resist the fascinating temptations of those insidious dru. 1 Rcllgiou Beautiful. A!wajs ! In the child, the maiden, the wife, the mother, religion shines with a holv, benignant beuuty of its own, which nothing of earth can mar. Nevrr yet was the female character perfect without the steady i'aiih of piety. Beauty, intel lect, wealth ! they are like pit-lills, dark in the brighfes day, unless rHigion throw her son beims around them, to purify and exalt, making twice glorious that which seemed all loveliness liefore. Religion is very beautiful in health or sickness, in wealth or poverty. We never enter ihe sick chamber of the good, but soft music sterns to float on the air, and the burden of their song is : Lo ! peace is here' , Could we look into :houod of families o-day when discontent fights sullenly with life, we could find the chief cause of unhappiness, want of Reli gion in tcoman. And in the felons' cells in places of crime; misery, destitution, ignorance we should behold in all its most terrible deformity, the fruit of reli gion in woman. Oh, religion ! benignant mij-sty, high on thy throne thou iu st, glorious and exalted. Not above the clond, for earth clouds come never be tween thee, and truly pious souls not beneath the clouds, for above these in heaven, opening through a broad vista of exceeding beauty. Its gates are the splendor of jaspr and precious stones, white, with a dewey light that neither flashes nor blazes, but steadily proceedeth from the throne of God. Its towers bathed in refulgent glory ten times the brightness often thousand suns, yet soft, undjzzling to the eye. And there religion points. Art thou weary ? in wisners, rest up thre there forever. Art thou sorrowing, joy.' Art thou weighed down with unmerited ignomy ? kings and priests in ihat holy home.' Art thou poor? ' the very street be fore thy mansion shall be gold.' Art thou friend less ? the angels shall be thy companions, and God thy Friend and Father.' Is religion beautiful? We answer, all in desola tion and deformity wlieie religion is not. Worms! Worms! There is no disease moie com mon among children, and yet none which so frequently bailies the skill of the physician, as worms. They are highly detrimental to the constitution ; and their pres ence should be carefully guarded against by parents. On the first manifestation of sj mptorns, every mean should be used to expel them promptly and thoroughly. M'Laue's Vermifuge is well established as the most certain, safe and speedy remedy ever offered for this troublesome and dangeious malady; and all who have the management of children should keep this invalua ble medicine at hand. In addition to its perfect safety, it never faijs to produce the desired effect. HT Purchasers w,ll be careful to ask for Dr. Mc Lane's Celebrated Vermifuge, and take none else. All other Vermifuges, in comparison, are worthless. Dr. M'Lane's genuine Vermifuge, also his Celebrated Li ver Pills, can now be had at all the respectable Drug Stores in the United States and Canada. 15-2w VALUABLE SUGAR CREEK LANDS FOR SALE.
