Our thanks ARE Due aud we cordially

for large number Of interesting public.
documents; among which, We find the
bic, eloquent; and fearless speech Of a.
patriotic representative, 5. S. Preniiss. --
It's speech which made The m,nions Of
The Executive IN ths House Of Kepresen-

The Presidents message with all Of the

i fully. and cannot therefore speak Of il
particularly, al present.
THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
We have been repeatedly asked Of late
what is the reason that The militia OF our
county has no. not been organized. As
many as Eve month have passed away
since the proper officers were elected;
aad SO lar As we have been able To learn,
mol . single step has been taken with The
view Of organizing this regiment. This
should not tie 50. Ii almost every equity
10 the state, the militia IS in = rapid State
Of organization; while 10 this county all
is apathy and uncontetD. Come, come,
gentlemen officers, wake up aud stir your
selves 10 this matter. Remember that
yon were elected for The purpose Of or
ganizing the militia ofour county; and not
merely that you nigh wear the title, .ith-
oui submitting 10 The toll and labor TO
which us duties you'd subject you.
PoETIcAI GENIUS We have been
accustomed to regard Homer, Milton,
Shakespeare, and Byron, as the master
spirits 81 song; and could still wish 70 re-,
gard them as such; but we are reluctantly
compelled, by force Of MORE exalted &C.
Illus, 10 yield the palm Of superiority to
their hitherto unknown, but now success
