journed its Session last night. after sitting OF
forty days That its adjournment viii be mat
ter OF general rejoicing among the People there
can be no doubt Nothing has been done for
the interest Of the People but a general warfare
against His ExceIlency Governor DoTr has been
carried on by the Members. The Legislation has
all been special and personal and directed agalns;
the Governor and his friends. The organic Law
OF the Territory and The Laws OF the United States
have been plainly and palpably violated. Totake
away the power OF the Executive. they have passed
a Law taking from him the appointment OF County
Prosecuting Attorneys. and vestlng the power IN
the County Commissioners OF each County TO
employ Attorneys TO prosecute to suit the cases.
What a beautiful system! To strike the Attor-
ney General for the Territory also, they have
abolished the salary for his Office, and left hl!n TO
do the duties OF the Office ,oittout pay!
But the Appropriation bill, passed by the As
sernblv must remain a monument to the infany
OF the Members CLAIMS put IN by Loco tocos,
ana by the enemies of the Executive. have been
allowed without anv show OF authority; while the
INST and righteous claims o the friends of the "'ov-
crnor, and estimated Tor, too. By the Secretary OF
the Treasury, have been unhestatingly rejected.

friends of the Governor, and one of them Is the
Sheriff of Milwaukee County, appointed by the
Governor The salary OF CHARLES DoTY, as Pm
yatc Secretary to the Governor, though estimated
for by the Secretary Of The Treasury, was refused
By The Assembly because the Private Secretary
happened to be the son of the Governor. Such
are y few of the outrageous and disgraceful acts
which this Legislature has been guilty of; and |

assailed by the bulics of the Legislature with
viruence and inalIgnlty without parallel; pnl
he has pursued the even tenor oil his way, ana ltle
Members oil the Legislature, 50 far from breaking
down the Governor, have broken themselves down
in the attempt.
That the Governor is man of distinguished
talcnt,-that he Is better acquainted with Inc m
tcrests OF the Territory than any other man,-tiai
he is a man ofexempary character, OF the greatest
industry. and an accomplished gentleman IN all
his intercourse, his opponents do not deny; but
they will tell YOU. notwithstanding, that he Is a
great rascal
