Our Harbor bill is still in the power Of
Gen. Dix. His vote, added to that of Sen
ators Davis and Johnson, known 10 be for
i. without nmendment, will report it to the
Senate. and then it will pass. 1t is now
understood than any amendment that wi!
bring it back TO our house will kill it.
Within the last three days, the friends
of the bill have been greatly surprised to
learn that efforts have been made 10 amend
The bill from Wisconsin. After the severe
contest in the House. it was to be hoped
that the people on Lake Michigan would
at least, have kept quiet and let we'll e.
nouyh alone. Not man in west mist rus

A quarrel among the Lake Michigan peo-
pie who have no U S Senator, added TO
the prevalent impression that Lake Mich.

have no member Of the Senate Commerce
committee, cannot but prove deleierious, at
this time. BY saturday it is expected that

BIENNIAL SESSIONS.

The propriety of requiring our legislative
sessions to hold bienniav. after we 90 into
state organization, has been discussed in
some of the papers of the Territory. We
do not attach so much importance TO this
question as many appear TO do; there are
many other matters pertaining to our pros
pectivc constitution. which we regard Of
far greater consequence than this. 1t is
highly proper however that the subject of
holding our legislative sessions biennally,
should be fully discussed, in order that the
will of the people may be obtained in rela-
ton 10 this branch of governmental policy.
We have hitherto inclined to the opinion
that The holding of session Of the legisla-
turc once in two years, is as often as the
public good requires, and we can conceive
OF no inconvenience or harm that would be
likely TO arise from this arrangement nor
have we yet seen any substantial objection
urged against it. The legislatures of seve-
raj states of the Union, meet only biennialv
and we have vet TO learn that this arrange
ment works any injury TO the people, or
that change to annual sessions is desir-
ed.
Economy in the expenses Of government
is as commendable, as in the business affairs
oil individuals; all unnecessary expenditures
should be guarded against. We would by
no means dispense with any thing pertaining
TO the government, whereby the rights of
the people would be jeopardised, and their
interests eglected. Our constitution should
provide for every thing essential TO the
safety of the people, Lu, nothing for the
purpose of keeping up mere forms and ap
pearances. That biennial sessions would
lessen the expenses ofgovernment, no one
will pretead to deny, and that it would have
tendency 10 prevent excessive legislation
appears to us equally plain. However much
some may scout the idea ofthe worlds be.
ing governed too much, and ridcule the
assertion, that the fault of the age is too
much legislation, il is nevertheless a truth,
to which public attention is becoming more
and more awakened. Most OF the states
have been pling statute upon statute, with
amenda,ory, repeating and reviving clauses,
in such rapid succession that the people |
have become confused AID lost in the mazes |
of the wand the legal profession iiselfhas
become bewldered in its attempts to bar.
monize legislative enactments.

PRIvATEERlNG.-It has been supposed,
says The Tribune, that, in case Of a war
with Mexico, swarms of privateers would
issue from Havana, under Mexican license
TO prey vi on our commerce. This, how
ever, is specially guarded against by our
treaty with Spain, Of the Goth October,
1905, as appears by extracts from tina,
treaty, furnished by tho Secretary Of Stale
to E. X. Calkins. Esq. The treaty de-
clares that any person taking snch COM

rate"

ard numbers have already left for the seat
Of disturbance. A draft Cor soldiers has
been ordered in several Of the western and

1t is hoped however that the requisite mum

n. 0. Picayune, says, Of Louisiana that
the Governor will not proceed TO draft, as
there is prospect Of sufficient number
Of good men and true, voluntarily ralying

held in all the principal cities Of the Un-

and volunteers have come forward to en-

Mexico accepted, and minister was des.
patched. How was he treated. He was
scorDluly rejected, the olive branch of
peace which he carried trampled under
foot, and he compelled TO return to his
own government. What were we TO con.
clude from that? Could we come to any
other conclusion, than that immediate in
vasion on the part Of Mexico was to be ap-
pretended. Nay more, was it not distinct
ly understood, that The party which had
just been elevated to power in Mexico,
owed lis elevation to its hostility TO the
United States, and did not the manifestos
of that power, breathe n determined spirit
of war. Now we ask, if in The face of af-
fairs, The President, in duty to his country
could do less, than concentrate the pow
err Of the country, in position to repel
the invasion SO de'erminedly threatened.
But il was not until every resource Of peace
was exhausted, that the army was moved
from the Neuces 10 the Rio Grande, and
then not TO attack, but to repel invasion.
We shall be told probably that the country
between the Neuces and Rio Grande is
disputed territory. be it so or not; it has
been recognized as part Of our country,
and dispute with regard TO the boundary,
neither destroys our right or duty to de-
fend it. Certainly, if we had no right to
occupy il because Of its being disputed ter
ri,oIy, Mexico had no right TO in
wade it, on the same ground. But
what are the facts, since our army
TOOK up its position on the Rio Grandea
Did we attack, abuse. or insult Mexico?
We did not, we quietly occupied a defen-
sive position; and with Mexico the respon.
sibility of attack fully rests. The proving
vngabonds from her army murdered some
of our best men; her army crossed the
river and opened the war, by the desiruc-
ton of attachments Of our army which
were found from the main body. We we're
compelled TO arms ia self defence. Mex
leo has by repeated and long continued ag-
gresslons provoked justice. We trust she
will reap it in full. The result Of he cor
