Messrs. Greeley e McElrGth:
This has been a proud and happy day for Slad-
son inasmuch as it has witnessed the final breaking
ND of Dotheboys Hall" The Territorial Legis-
ature which has been in session sixty days, this
morning adjourned sine die, and the members are
now on their winding way to the bosoms of their
families, and swee-hearts. 1t is to be hoped that
their reception there may be sufficiently cordial 10
compensate in some degree for the execraon they
are TO meet from their constituents. As a Leglsla-
tive Body it was perfectly unique, and thoroughly
Loco Foco. As near as | can learn, they have
passed one bill changing Niggers name, which
suppose has become law, as have not heard Of
the Governor vetoing it. The balance Of the time
has been mostly spent discussing report made by
Moses NJ. Strong, of Temperance memory, upon
the subject Of the district in dispute between this
Territory and Illinois. The report recommends The
selling out of the territory in dispute. inhabitants
and all, TO Uncle Sam, for Railroad across the
Territory Some Of the citizens of the disputed
district demonstrated against such proceeding, be-
eying themselves little too white to be sold, but
our wise Legislature thought differently and adopted
the report They also adopted at the same time an
Address TO Congress, emanatlng from the same pen,
from which quote the following:

and his huge brazen sword in the other, determined
to conquer or die in defence of Wisconsinian liberty.

One thing more the Legislature has done they
have passed a law authorizing all free white male
inhabitants over the age Of 81 years and who have
been in the Territory three months, 10 upon
the question of State Government at the next cleo
lion. 1t is difficult TO predict what will be The re-
suit. Many are of the opinion that the evils we are
now aboring under from corrupt Legislation are so
great that State Government would be preferable,
though imposing additional burthens upon the peo-
plc. AT present the Territory Is some S5O,OoO III
debt and nothing done to relieve the public credl-
tor while the Legislature sitsiXty days, spend some
100000, talk about bartcrlng away American cltl-
Zens for railroads and change Nigger's name
The enthusiasm upon the Presidential question Is
very great in the Territory, considering we have no
vote CLAY is all the rage and our only regret Is,
that we have not the privilege of voting, that we
might give him wisconsin, but we are consoled IN
the belief that he will have need OF our aid The

have naturally the right to feel some interest in the
success OF Mir. Clay. Would Delegates from Wis
