TERRITORIAL LEGISL AZURE,

BY Friday nights mail we received the openn Q
proceedings Of our territorial legislature. Hon. G.
NJ. Baker, and others will accept our thanks for
their promptness in this respect. Ofcourse, our
detail Of proceedings are yet exceedingly brief
The Council was permanently orga nized 10y the
election Of MOSES NJ. STRONG, as President;
Ben G. Eastpan, Chief Clerk; Philip V. Bower,
Assistant CLERK; G. II Larkin, Sergcaut-at- Arms
Csc. L. Hopkins, Messenger; John b. Skinner,
Fireman. Rev. Mr.. Miner, Prcsby:erian) Yves
chosen chaplain.
The House had got no further in their permanent
organizations than tho election of Speaker. GEO
u. WALKER, of Milwaukee, was chosen, he re-
eeising Ia out tire 20 votes.
Moses NJ. Strong receive of the IS votes for
President OF the Council.
five lose our head for it, we will express our
dissatisfaction Of this choice the part of the
Council ola Presiding Oiicer. We have many rea-
for this dssatsiact, n; and if VIC had other
his conduct, when presiding officer before, the
occasion OF the passage Of The resolutions compro-
sing the disputed session difficulties with Gov. Do
~, sufficient. We cannot believe that any
members voted for him now, who members at
that time. There was not a democratic member OF
the body who did not nore properly deserve this
compliment than him who received it Where was
Baker Of Walwor;h, Strong and Frank of Rnciner
Calin of Dine, Wilcox, of Brown; in short az
and every Of the democratic (aye, and wing roo,)
MEMBERS IN preference.
To the Speaker of the House we fave no ptrso-
nal objection. We should have preferred, ho'ycv
er. the choice Of DIR. Darling. 1t was Justly due
the DIR. as we'll for the firm an Hnwavering man
ner in which he has stood by AMI mantalt el the
democratic principle during his long service in ha,
body, as for the example hc h,s set in persevering
and un'lrlng industry during that period We mary
he mistaken, but we incn, to the op nj on that it
is because Of the Drs firm adherence TO his prnci-
pie all occasIonsj that he failed in this instance
10 receive the compliment SO justly his due. We
are not ava re that the Dr. either sought or desired
the Office, but we have all along anticipated that
a compliment so Justly deserved would be most free
ly rendered.
But as we said above, we have no objection TO
the gentleman chosen; he is good man and good
democrat; has before filled the station with ere Int to
himself, and will do it again.

SOUTH CAROLINA.

The legislature Of this state has under
consideration proposition to abolish pun
lshment by death in certain cases. The
bill as introduced by MIR. Meminger inclu-
ded the stealing or inveighing Of slaves,
or aiding slave to run away among the
crimes not hereafter punishable with death;
but the judiciary committee Of the House,
to which the bill was referred, reported an
amendment, providing tia, the second Of
fence of stealing, inyeighing, or aiding
DC. shall be punished with death: and this
amendment being adopted, a motion was
made and carried to strike out the whole
section in which the amendmen: was in
PRODUCED. The bill was then passed and
sent 10 the Senate. Should it pass in the
same form there, fifty lashes, imprison
ment for not less than seven years and
fine, will be the punishment Of forgery,
ana some other offences; but slave stealing
inveigIing or aiding will still be punishable
with death.

GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

This document will be found in our paper to. day.
Is u is not very long; twill no doubt receive ge-
neral perusa which preclud.s the necessity of any
extended notice. Ii is well written has many eau
Nul passages and certainly with its construct ion
none can find fault There is nothing bad in it
much that is gOod-and considerable that is neither
thing nor The other.
Those who have been looking with anxiety for
this document under the impression that the polili
cal views of the Governor would be explained in
l.. will Of course be disappointed. What right
such persons had to expect such IN exposition, we
cai.not tell; certainly nonc unless there were topics
to suggest it. Many will doubtless think that to-
pics were not wantng indeed, rather that there is
an appearance of avoiding topics which would have
thrown some l,gtt I'm the subject, which lay direct
ly in his path For instance, with regard to the
Milwaukee Fire and Marine Insurance Company.
1t is we'll known that committee of the legislature
d the last session, reported that this institution
was exercising banking privileges in direct viola
ton oilaw, and that the people required protection
AT the hands of the legislature. This fact was plain
and palpable, and certainly whilst the Governor
was ransacking the whole possible range Of su gees
tons and recommendations il is a little singular
that this should have escaped. Our readers have
equal facilities with ourselves to Judge of the reason
With regard to the naturalization laws the Go
vernon is certainly orthodox in his opinions. lii
opinions and recommendations meet our views ex
actly.
II any Of our readers are disposed TO complain
that the message is devoid Oh topics of exciting in
tcrest, let them recollect that n message 10 the S
gislsture OF Wisconsin, does not open very wil
field for interesting display.

ry,it mus be acknowledged that we are right
in asserting that the countenanco of Tyler

those cntr"sted with it, till we are like TO
lose the benefits Of a proper treaty. We
commenced this article 70 express our indig-
nation at the manner in which this treaty had

CONGRESSIONAL SYNOPSIS.

Oar dates of last week reached TO Satur-
day, the 2lst, inclusive. The proceedings
of the 23d possess some intcres, and VIC
copy The Washington correspondence of the
New York Morning News, as furnishing an
excellent synopsis:
DECEMBER %.
1t is expected that Mr.. Ingersoll will bring
the subject of annexation before us TO day,
when will probably commence long and
perhaps tenpestuous discussion. | have,
however, but faint hope that any bill will
pass at this session. There is so much DIFF
ference of opinion as TO the details of the
measure among its friends, and such dissa,-
isiac ton among the northern members as TO
the aspect in which it has been presented
by the administration to their constituents,
who, however we'll disposed to the general
object, might be seriously influenced by the
universal feeling which seems to prevail in
that section of the country against the man
ner and grounds of the negotiation. Shall
tell you some precious political secrets? |
learn from source worthy of credit that
there has been mnch embarrassment on the
part of the administration as to the mode of
freeing the negotiation from its present diff
culties. Mr.. Calhoun is not pleased with the
management of Mr.. Shannon, although fee
ling himself in some degree responsible for
it, and o,uer members of the cabinet less so,
but Mr.. Tyler thinks differently. The re-
suit is. that the administration awaits the ac-
ton of Congress, and whether the measure
passes or not now, new minister will be
sent out by next administration. So at least
it is thought by the most spacious. The
general opinion is far from favorable as to
the conduct of the business, and it is quite
freely expressed; but as it is understood that
the administration have decided not to sac.
ritice the minister, some are puzzled to know
how treat the matter.

ANNEXATION or TExAs.-Ne believe,
a. no doubt do great majority of the people,
that Texas can be Immediately annexed to
this country without WAT AMI without dsho-
nor, and that, under The circumstances, an
nexation, would Prove in tho highest degree
beneficial, 10Th now and hencctorh, 10 the
whole country. |. is a great democratic
republican measure, which every lover OF
republican institutions must desire 10 see
consummlied, because il extends peaceful

not without its faults, is yet 7mcasdrcahlv
better than any other VITA which the world
is acquainted. But those who desire an

who love TO sec The honor and dignity OF our
government sustained, mus, be sadly grcvcd
at the treatment this measure has received
a, The hands of the present administration.
This administration and lis friends assume
fr themselves a great deal Of credit in orr
gnating this measure, and throwing, as they
say, its weight, in favor of the demscracy in
the late contest, but our own opinion is, that
NO one thing operated so deirmcnially to our
interest as did this. The plain question of
annexation is one which naturally commend
cd itself TO the democracy and became popu-
lar with them, and upon the open question
We should have carried a vastly heavier vote
than We did but Tyler inf cted his treaty up
on us, and we could moi &c, rid olthe odium
and consequently lost thousands of votes

tribute to the fact that prominent members
Of the party in New York, openly repudia-
ted the features ofths treaty. And for all
this there was ample reason. THIS great
national incasure in the hands of these men
was made to assume the character of local
measure 10 subserye local ends; aud those
ends 30 far as their merit was concerned, of
the most questionable character. From Ty-
lsr much was no, expected; bu, when man
