The figure head is Hercules with his lions skin

iced :n:c tho house Of representatives rcsoiu-
solution, '..to inquire into the expediency Of
establishing a seperate territorial government
for that section Of the present territory Of Wis
fconsin which lies west Of the Mississippi riv.
Ter" aud the same resolution has been introdu
Iced into the senate of the United States by FIR,
Linn Of Missouri.
/ We sincerely hope that these resolutions
will be acted upon, and sanctioned by congress

tant bearing upon the futafs Interest and pros
Iperity Of the people on this side ofthc Missis.
sippi. Yes, We would rejoice that the Faith
i er Of Waters should be the boundary to new
sitoly. The present territory Of Wisconsin,
ia NM. III too large. and embraces too many
conaictino interests---,he people on tho east
side of the M: ssissippi are jealous Of those on
the peet side !, ID the west, Of those on the
east. Why not, der these circumstances,
give to the people en- eat, side OF the Missis-
lsippi separate territorial go, efnmen.s' we
believe that such measure wos I'D De highly
satisfactory tot the people Throughout. the whole
Of Wisconsin territory.
The reasons for dividing the present terri.> ,
~ of Wisconsin, are, in our opinion, well foun-
ded, for unless the people governed can be uni
ted---unless their representatives. legislate for
the good the whole territory, iaere will not
be satisfaction--there will not be harmony,
the government Instituted to protect the rights
Of the people, will become an engine in lhc$
hands Of one part, to Cypress the other.
tits, or should be, the policy Of the United
States, in the establishment Of temporary gov
ernmen,s over her territories, to adopt the best
and mos. judicious means guarding the Tap
piness, liberty, and property Of her foster
children, SO that when they enter the great fa-
mly Of the Union, that they may be worthy
Of that exalted station.

For the Ts;for.
On looking over a late number

member Of tn. council from Des Moines conn
", introduced a resolution, in substance in-
ssructing our delegate IN Congress to use his
best cxertions TO procure the organic law TO DO
so amended. MS that the election of representa-
tives should be annually, and the election Of
members ofthe council every two years. This
resolution was we'll enough, had it passed.
Hut who voted for itl Did even the mover Of
the resolution vote for III ,Fhc responsibility
cfmembers Of the assembly. involving conse-
qnences TO them so intimately connected will,
their reelection. The idea was too shocking
to be seriously considered. Sir, it was TOO
soon for that body to become responsible TO
the people; yes sir, too soon for them to ac-
count to the people for the manner I'm which
they had discharged the duties Of representa-
tives.---It was necessary that sufficient time
should clapsebetween that memorable session
and a second election. for the community to
forget the manner in which, tho wishes Of the
people had been regarded. An examination Of
the conduct Of each member will lead 10 the
n'cc..;ves really inducing them to vote against
me resolution.
l trust in the examination Of all that has
been done by that body,it viii be found that
the members thereof have assiduously devoted
their time and talents TO the advancement Of
the best interest Of the people, rather than de-
vising ways and means to aggrandize and en-.
rich themselves, leaving the people to bear
the evils which attended them while part

AMERICAN LADIES.

Francis J. Grund, a German, who
lived some years in this country, and
published a work on Geometry, has
just come to England, where he has
published q big book. entitled THE
Americans" The following is q por-
ton Of his observations on the Amer
cans:
The forms OF American ladies' are
generally distinguished by great sym
metry and fineness Of proportion: but
their frames and constitutions seem to
be less vigorous than those Of the ladies'
Of almost any country in Europe -
Their compilations which to the south
nclinIng towards the Spanish, are TO
the north, remarkably fair and bloom
ing; and. while Young, by far the great
er portion OF them are decidedly hand
some. A marked expression Of intel.
ligence, and a certain understandable ar
of lAngour. probably the result Of the
climate, lend to their countenances q
peculiar charm, in which it would be
difficult 20 find = parallel in Europe -
An American lady, IN her teens, is,
HNiheHAt AHh hvNh - ifh-hAV 'tNaAhiN
on earth. Her limbs are exquisiiely
wrought. her motions are light and
graceful, and her carriage at once easy
and dignihed.
but these beauties, II IS painful tc
say, are doomed to an early decay
AZ the period Of twenty -four, certain
want Of fulness in her proportions b,
already peroepiible; aud. once passed
the age Of thirty. the whole fabric goes
seemingly into decay. As the prinei.
pal cause Of this sudden decline, some
sllege the elm. ate; but ascribe 1t more
willingly 20 the great assiduity With
/ which American ladies' discharge theIi
duties a. mothers. No sooner are theJ
marned than they begin TO lead lii,
81 comparative seclusion; and oncs
mothers. they sVe actually buried q
the world. AZ the period Of usherin,
their children into society. they appear
indeed. once more, - respectable ma
irons; bot they are only the Witnesse
OF the triumphs Of their daughter
