The Marriage Contract.

In the last potosi Republican, we have
another chapter of the extraordinary opin-
ions of "The Farmer of Grant" After
crinkling through the whole hemisphere of
political questions, whisking at some ques-
tons and circumgyrating others and then off
again in n tangent to fiz-z.z around some
wild speculative vagary of the Jacobin phi
losophers, our "Farmer" takes ga kind
of side glance at our marriage system. -
The (" Farmer" makes complaint, that man
aud wife, "no matter how i'll they may
agree, must live together until death doth
them part" Now we have word TO say
ON the God-honorcd institution of marriage,
and we do not know Of better time than
now, to speak our sentiments--now, when
there seems prevailing tendency, we grieve
to say il, to make matrimony mere rope
OF sand, TO he severed by an angry word,
by petition TO the legislature; thank God
our Constitution will soon prohibit that
IL there is doctrine mO,c subyersive than
any other of sound morals, we take it to be
the creed Of those who maintain that mar
riage is contract which is TO cease at the
option of either party to it. IL is the creed
Of prostitution. II encourages mere concu-
binage. Itwould make orphanage virtually
universal. IL demon were to devise a
plan for converting earth into hell, he might
invoke whiskey as an auxiliary; but his
readiest, deadliest means of subverting hui
mau happiness would be the overthrow of
of the institution of marriage, which now
chains the lust aud letters the brutal pas
sions of our species, aud gives to each fam
ily a sacred trust of honor and OF kindred
to defend.

HOUSE.
FRIDAY, Feb. Sd, ls47.

We have nothing of much interest to re-
port from Madison. The Legislature seems
to be quite busy in the way of passing di-
yorce bills. Occasionally something rather
funny occurs in debate; under which head
we must class the following:
Remarks of Mr.. Burt.
In House Of Representatives., March s, on
biH No. 6S, bill TO restrain suine from
running at large.
The " bill to restrain swine from running
at large" having been amended SO as to re-
quire the payment of bounty on Wolf
scalps,
Mr.. BURT obtained the floor and address,
ed the house as follows:
Mr.. Speaker: understand the wolf bill
is now under consideration. That is the
bill, sir, for me-for my constituents, and
for the whole territory. This, sir, is the
bill which have watched through its vari-
Gus passages and amendments in committee
of the whole, with the greatest interest and
utmost anxiety-tbe bill, sir, which have
been endeavoring to get a sight at. But, sir,
these young striplings of lawyers and mem
bers here, jumping up and putting me down,
not allowing me my rights on this foor;--
but now, sir, you have the chair, and shall
have my rights. shall speak on this wolf
bill in defiance of these young lawyer-like
members. Have not rights here, Mr..
Speaker Am not the man that first set
tied in Wisconsin. when the Indians were
so thick that it was dangerous to go fifty
rods in the brush on the most urgent neces-
sity without great risk of having the lower
part of your body shot full of bulets' Am
not the man that first waded the Missis-
sippi with keg of tobacco in each pocket
and hogshead of rum on his back' Have
| not rights, Mr.. Speaker? Sir, it is well
known that the wolf is very pernicious an
lmal to the rising generation of young pigs
and lambs. Mr.. Speaker, not day passes
but we hear of the destruction of calves,
pigs, sheep and other swine, Throughout the
whole extent of our intelligent, enterprizing
and happy territory.
But say, Mr.. Speaker, never saw one
of these pernicious animals. The other day
as | and Mr.. Hubbard was riding over Bum
Paw Prairie, says Mr.. Hubbard, says he,
q thar goes a wolfr' says g ,rhar?'' says
he g thar says "achar?'' says he g tharr'
and just then, Mr.. Speaker, | thought saw
his tall say, Mr.. Speaker, the wolf is a
very perncious animal to the rising genera
tons of the young pigs and lambs. ! say
say sir, often Just before the glorious lumi-
nary, the bright king of day, sheds his COL
den beams athwart the horizon, when all
nature is sunk in silent oblivion, the Prov
ling wolf seeks the sheepfold and destroys
whole filters of pigs.
Mr.. Speaker, hope the good sense of
this house will pass this bill.
