The Wisconsin. the Madison Argus
and their echoes are anxious to make their
readers believe that the Wings 90 not wish
to have Wisconsin admitted into the u
Mon until after the Presidential election.
In this insinuation they are entirely mis-.
taken, as the Wings of Wisconsin calcu-
late the electoral vote of Wisconsin will
be cast for their candidate. The object
of these papers, however, is to injure the
popularity Of our candidate for Governor.
In order that our readers may know " hat
Mr.. Tweedy Is doing as to getting Wis
consin into the Union, we give the fol-
lowing upon that subject from the Mil.
waukee Sentinel ofthe 22d:
We have letter from Mr.. TwEEpy.
our faithful and efficient Representative
n Congies s, under date Of Washington
April l2ih, giving us the gratifying in.
relhgence that the Committee on Terri
tories have agreed to report the Bill for
the admission of Wisconsin into the Un-
lop, substantially as introduced bv him -
The Committee held several sessions on
the subject and discussed the hill thor
oughly. The chief points of difference
were as to the North. Western Boundary.
and the Canal Lands. All the rrovi>-
IONS of Mr.. T~EEDY's Bill. which we
nave published at leagth. were finally d.
d"pted, with the following exceptions.
lst. As to the Boundary The Rum
River line is rejected and that of the S.
CroIx adopted by majority vote.
81. As 10 the Canal Lands The pro.
,iso relating to precautions on the even
numbered sections was amended by the
insertion of few words, not materially
IF ciing lis operation.
81. The provision for the return Of the
excess foI so much of these lands as
nave been sold, in money to the as>ignces
OF the purchasers. was SO amended as To
'iHect the repayment TO be made by GER

Premonltions of its approach, and that

to speak, as this is, in this early stage.
OF course, when there is a tendency
to dlarrhea in cholera times, the strict
est attention should be paid to diet, and
fruits and crude vegetables should be
carefully avoided Wherever the chol-
era prevails, it has been found that
most people are easily inclined to bow
ell complaints, and this is an indication
that the diet Of people generally should
be regulated accordingly. A sudden
change from a generous to a low diet
IN such circumstances, has been found
quite injurious. A person who is well
should continue TO eat very much as
he has been accustomed to, except that
most people eat too much, as a general
rule, and except that fruits and certain
vegetables, which at other times would
be harmless, under the cholera atnlos-
pherc, are apt to produce diarrhea.

The Force of Nature.
SIR DANVER'S OSBOR NE
Gorernor of New York, in l75-.
BY HENRY a. BUCKINGHAM.

In l75-, there arrived from London,
in kings ship, Sir Danvers Osborne,
who had recently been appointed Gov
ernor of New York. He was some re-
Iative of the Earl of Osborne-a title,
we believe, eXtinct-and he had receiv-
ed the appointment as kind of honor
able retirement, the income from which
was sufficient to support him as became
his rank and family.
Sir Danvers was man of middle age,
naughty and aristocratic. On ship
board he kept himself aloof from all,
took his meals in his own cabin, and
only now and then cordescended to
take a game of whist with the superior
officers of the frigate. OF course this
line of conduct did not make him very
popular with those on board.
On his landing, the usual salute was
fired, and Sir Danvers ordered ten gui-
meas to be given to the boats crew
which rowed him on shore, to drink his
health. There was nothing mean or
petty in the money affairs of the new
Governor, and the jack tars gave him
three hearty cheers, with 9 God bless
Your honor!
The haughtiness of Sir Danvers was
soon rumored abroad and as there
were in the council some old and arts
tocratic members of families like the
Livingstons. Morrisses, CrugerS, Van
RenselaerS and others, considered real
~ ancient, as they were in truth veal
thy, they met together, after calling up
on the Governor as bound in etiquette,
and decided to give the governor an of
fetal dinner in the name of the loyal
council ofhis majestys province of New
York.
Gov. Osborne accepted the invitation
with the most gentemanlv poltenesS,
and the afternoon arrived when the din
ner was to be given at the City Hall.
in Wall street. The hour fixed upon
was four, and more than usual attention
had been paid by the committee and
cooks as to the delicacies and viands
There was a fine turtle from the Ba-
hamas, made into soup and steaks, cali
