"Messrs. Hepner and Jay conducted the Speak

few embarrassed remarks, which not worth
Publishing.
The above extract is taken from the
Standards reports Of the proceedings Of
the Legislature Of Tuesday last, and is a
fair specimen Of the hnth and courtesy
which characterize the conductors Of that
sheet, towards their political opponents.
That the Speaker elect, was somewhat
embarrassed upon taking the chair, no
one will doubt; and that the remarks
which he made upon the occasion were
clear, terse, and appropriate, we believe
every member Of the House will concede.
But Mr.. Morgan is political opponent
Of the Standard, and its editors have up
on one or two occasions felt the force Of
his pen, and this is deemed by. them a
sufficient excuse to wreak their ven
geancc upon him by misrepresentation

might be added the loss Of

who shall estimate what il will be. when
these beautiful praries and fertile timber

settled and highly cultivated, as, in few
years they will be, and when their pro.
ducts shall have been increased a thous-

In regard TO the other estimates, your
memorialists will only say. that they in
tended TO keep. as they believe they have
aUittin the limits of the truth, conceiving
that the real state OF the case, presents
facts in regard 10 the distractions, of the
Rapids, and the consequent loss to the
country, which will surprise every one.
and which should convince Congress Of
the obligations OF the Government to re-
move or obviate them at any cost.
All which is respectfully submitted.

motion unanimously adopted.
On motion, it was ordered that the
Memorial be signed by the Chairman

to Congress a. the proper time and urge
upon that Body the necessity of granting
the prayer of the Memorialists.

war!ed to Washington and presented to
our Delegate by Major John B. Newhall.
On motion OF IL. w. Starr, Esq, the
following resolutions were presented and
unanimously adopted.
Resoluea, That in the opinion Of this
meeting, i. is the duty Of all the citizens
Of the county, bordering upon the Upper
Mississippi. TO memoriallze Congress,
directly, on the subject Of removing the
distractions in the navigation of this
river, and that every effort should be
made by primary meetings, and other
wise, TO awaken the public mind to the
Importance Of this Improvement.
Resolrea. That we regard the removal
OF distinctions in the Western rivers, as
a national work and national duty.
Resolred, That in our opinion, il is
he duty Of the members of both Houses
of Congress from the west, to unite with
oul distinction Of party, and demand as
a right, what wehaye hitherto begged as
privilege.

The moncrel mixture from Van Buren,

The mongrel mixture from Van Buren,
County held the balance Of power in
both houses-and that they have used it
to their individual benefit aud to the gra-
LITIGATION Of their malice is evident enough
from the result. Mr.. Swearingen is said
to be The only cxccpt:on-hc sticks to his
old professions and his old principles
bolts at all bargains and intrigues-and
"tells the truth and shames the'' nuongrel.
And the people Of Van Buren, county may
as we'll understand it first as last, tina,
with the exception Of Mr.. Swearingcn,
who is true blue, and Mr.. Lewis, who is
truly and true coon, their delegation are
neither "fsh, flesh nor fowls That they
can ever again be deceived into tho sup
port Of such "motley mess" it is impos'
sible to believe. If the events which have
just transpired do not convince them that
they are "deceiyed community" we
are quite sure that the ludicrous figure
which their President Of the Council is
destined to cut will bring the due persua-
sion to their minds long before the ides Of
March are upon us-if all reports Of his
pompous imbecility be true. Several Of
our friends have just returned from the
Capitol One Of them represents him as
moving mass Of monstrous stupidity-a
real wind.sucker, putting and swelling
like frog that would be an ox--all affec
tation and all folly. And another says
that when the Doctor delivered himself Of
his little inaugural (Which his friends
seem to be ashamed TO publish) his eyes
looked just like any bung holes in cider
barrel. We regret for the character Of
the Territory, il we may not be allowed
to entertain regrets for the shame Of
wh'ggery, that so slim specimen of the
intellectual progression Of the age should
have been elevated, even by bargaining,
to SO honorable a place. Either Of those
staunch wings, Messrs. Wallace and
Springer would have reflected honor
upon their party, and would doubtless
have commanded the respect Of their OPP
ponents if nothing more. Il is discre-
ditable to the Territory that men Of
character should be sacrificed 10 the
groyslling seldshness Of such an oflal Of
nong relism.
The only business in immediate pro-
spect Of interest to the people is notice
/ Of Mr.. Rogers Of the House to introduce
bill! to repeal the charter Of the Miners
Bank Of Dubuque. 1t is time this work
was commenced. 1t isin able hands, and
we look forward with confidence to the
time when the strong arm Of retributive
justice shall drive this young but prolific
mother Of denominations from among US.
The voice OF the people is all one way on
this subject-and we trust that the action
Of the legislature will be equally decided
