TuE WABASH RErUuLIc,N.-Our friend W. d..
Lutshaw, Esq, proposes To recommeuce the pubh-
cation of the above paper. Mt Carme, H., about
the first Of March proximo. The first volume was
conducted by Mr. Latshaw with great spirit, but
that was not sufficient to him from the rulaous
effects nseparlbIe from the unlimited credit system.
upon winch newspapers are generally publ shed IN
tins country. In his prospectus for the second vol
ume he says:
- N IS well known tina, Democratic EDITORS have
fr.euds among Bank Presidents, ID rcctor-. etc.
and That the rich aud lordly arstocrlcy Of the aud
are arraved ON the side Of Fcleralsm-from them
We expect nothing, save ami except It be their
iTowns aud SncerS. their malice, hatred aud perSe.
cuton but for all this care nothing IT the stern
and uucomprouis democracy ct the country stand
by as. We stand up Tor the interests Of the PEG.
pie tae good OF the greatest number, and all ask
in return IS, that they stand by and support Us
We hope that Mr. Latshaw's appeal viii not be
in VAIN.

The Mitchell Papers.

itappcars, from late New York papers, thar the
world Of Gotham in general and the Wall street
politicians in particular have been thrown into
great excitement in consequence Of an Injunction
Issuing from tho Court Of Chancery TO restrain
certain persons and newspapers from publishing
or disclosing the contents Of bundle Of letters,
said to be written by certain politicians Of New
York and elsewhere, to the Hon. Chas. +. Nit.
che the forger, during the great presidential con-
test of 1889 and 40. These letters, it is said.
contain tho most awful exposures of the morals
and mrth ofpolt,ics ihot have ever vet been read.

TWENTY.SEVENTH COnGRESS,
SECOND SESSION.

Monday, TtJ. 2l.-Scnate-A mes
sage was received from the president of
the United States, enclosing commune
cation from the secretary Of state, in re-
ply to the resolution OF the senate, adopt
ed on the 18th inst, calling for informa-
lion III relation to the action taken by this
Government in the Creole case.
(lt contained the secretary of states let
ter to Mr.. Everett, informing him of the
circumstances Of the Creole case, and OF
the grounds upon which this government
would rest in her demand of redress from
the British government. In Mr.. Web
stCr's instructions to Mr.. Everett, he
quotes largely from Mr.. Steycnson's cor
respondence with Lords Palmerston and
Aberdeen, and argues at much length, and
with great clcaress, the same doctrines
maintained by Mr.. Stevenson on the ge-
neral principles involved in the conLoyer-
sy, and applies those principles 10 the
Creole case. lie thci urges his reasons
for hoping the present administration of
Great Britain will yield to the business of
those principles, and that such redress, as
this country has a right to expect, will be
given. He also alludcs TO the special mis-
sion from England to negotiate existing
differences, and states the propriety of
Mr.. Everett's being governed in his re-
monstrances by the nature of the powers
given to the special ministor.)
After the document was read, Mr.. Wal
ker arose, and expressed ms appreciation
Of it in the highest terms, aud moved that
it be referred TO the committee on foreign
relations.
Mr.. Calhoun seconded the motion, and
also took the occasion to approve highly
the doctrine maintained in the document
before them. The motion prevailed.
After the presentation Of petitions and
reports from committees
Mr.. Young presented a petition from a
number Of the citizens Of Warren, Knox
and Fulton counties in the State of Hi
nois, praying for a grant of land to aid
that State in the completion of the Illinois
and Michigan Canal, equal to that here
tolore granted to the State of Ohio for
the purposes Of intcrnrl Improvements.
Mr.. Young said, in presenting this Pc
titon. that he desired, with the indulgence
Of the Senate, TO make few eXplanato-
ry remarks before sending it to the Com
mittec on Public Lands, already charged
with the subject of making an additional
grant of land to the State of Illinois, for
the purpose mentioned in the petiton.-
lie said that the petition was short, con-
else, patriotic in its language, and contain
ed ono sentiment, at least, highly crcdi-
table to the petitioners, and which gave
him pleasure here, in his place, to re-
peat, as the representative of such con-
sti,uents. After speaking Of the wild
and uncalled for system of internal i'm
provemen,s, which has well nigh blighted
the prospects of our beautiful State, by
retardng emigration, and imposing upon
