ence the frowns Of fortune, to lay aside
tho trappings Of high life, far from their
former theatre of action. individuals Of
this description, are found dispersed on
almost every prairie in the west. They
have here commenced retrieving their for
tunes, having rrofted by their past eXpe-
ricnce, they buy only what they need for
comfort, and dispense with those expcn-
sive luxurics which only pamper The ape
tite, and paralyzc the mind. We know
many of this class Of persons, and they
arc among the most valuable citizens of
the Territory. The economy, and appro-
pirate arrangement Of their farms and ha-
citations, scarcely ever fails TO command
admiration. They speak Of the wreck Of
their fortunes with pleasantly, and appear
TO enjoy rational life with excellent spirits.
Neither do they complain of business
their hands find enough to DO, and enough
to animate them to action.
The west is admirably calculated to
Soo.he the wounded spirit Of thos,, who
have once enjoyed wealth and splendor,
and have been Graded in the lap Of mag
niiccnce. The west, solitary and alone,
without the touch Of art is agnifcent.-
Its numerous prairies, spread out like so
many vast flower gardens, present the in
Irritable projections Of the vegetable world
Its numerous parks planted by the plastic
hand Of nature, arc no where rivaIcd by
the labors of art. Many a farm house in
Wisconsin, is surrounded with beautiful
groves and natural parks, which an hun
drcd years Of art, can never equal. The
eastern emgrant who leaves his garden
Of flowers and shrubbcry, the cost Of years;
finds in the west pleasing substitute Of
what he left, exhibiting it is true, less of
mechanical design in It's arrangement, but
| on far more extended scale.
CoNGREss.-A Bill to repeal the Sub
Treasury has passed the Senate, by vote
Of 81 to lSsafler protracted discussion.
The bill will unques .ionabIy pass the House
Of Representatives.
The Mcleod case has been ably dis
cussed in the Senate by Mes<rs. Buchanan
and Rivcs. The point which Mr.. Bucho-
Fan made, was that Mcleod if guilty of
( participation in the attack on the Caroline,
was amcnable to our laws, notwitnstand-
| ing the assumption Of the act by the Brit
ish Government. He insisted that the po-
sition taken by Mr.. Webster, was humii-
ating to the just dignity and pride Of the
American people.
Mr.. Rives defended the ground taken by
Mr.. Webster in his diplomatic corrcspon-
Gcncc with Mr. Fox. lie maintained that
for n public 1rrong we mustscck public re-
dress and that it is incompatible with the
| dignity OF this great nation, TO wreak their
vengeance on an individual agent of the
enemy. He said our Senate should as
sumo the Roman attitude "a Roman am
bassador to powerful Prince (Demetrius)
was murdered. The Roman Senate indig-
nariy replied, we have nothing to do with
your malc(actors deal with them as you
please. We hold yow responsible for the
crime committed under your sanction"
The House have been engaged in warm

by which the DIST Rule Of the House, per-
tanning to the reception Of Anti Slavery
petitions, was rcscindeda few DAYS before.
Mr.. Wise took the floor in favor of the mo-
ton; addressing the House with unusual
animation and excitement, until from cX-
haustion, his counte nance became suddenly

ness, and was borne from the House.
Two days subsequent 10 this Mr.. Wise
again resumed his speech and spoke pre-

interruption. After some remarks from
several other members the preriouS queS-
ton was ordered, and the main question
put as follows: "Shal the vote be recon

The general Bankrupt Bill has received
some attention in both houses-several
leading members in the Senate, have ex-

this question, until the other prominent
matters before Congress are settled. The
distribution, or land Bill has made little or
