Major Jack Downing thus concludes a
"private' and loving epistle to his friend,
Mr. Polk, from the Head OF Salt River:
l see they are looking round all over the
country for men to make up Cabinet for
Gineral Taylor, and they seem to be going
upon the rule that them that did the most
towards electing him must have the first
chance in the Cabinet. Now, going upon
this rule, the first chance belongs to you,
Of course; for there isn't no other man in
the country that did quarter so much to-
wards electing him as you did. In fact.
if it hadn't been for you, he never would
a been elected at all; and if he doesn't
give you the first place in his Cabinet, if
you'll take it, he'll be the ungratefulest
man that ever lived. I think it would be
best, all things considered, for you to take
a place at the head Of the Cabinet,

"lLLlsoIs AND THE PRovlso.''-The Gazette has,
Internationally no doubt, misled its readers by in
sorting the unmeaning and wshy-washy Preamble
and Resolutions passed by the Senate of Illinois,
Such - the Gazette publishes did pass, but they
were considered so unsatisfactory, that Mr. Plato,
democrat, subsequently introduced another, which
IS really Wilmot Proviso resolution and which in
structs the Illinois Senator's what course they are
to pursne to give satisfaction to the free citizens OF
Illinois. It just such resolution as should have
been passed BY the Legislature Of Iowa, and such
nlne-tenths of our people require. The resolution
Of Mr. Plato passed the Senate on the sth by vote
OF IL to on the next day it passed the House,
BY vote Of 80 to -. The resolution is as follows:
Resolved by the Senate Of the State Of Illinois. the
House OF Representatives concurring herein, That
Our senators IN Congress- be instructed and our Rep
resentatives requested to use all honorable means
IN their power to procure the enactment Of such
laws BY Congress for the government of the coun-
tries or territories Of the United States by

ton, ssThat there shall be neither slavery nor nyol-
untafy servltude in said territories otherwise than
IN te punishment OF crimes, the party shall
have been duly conyicted.o
What will the little Giant now DO. He declared
in his speech at New Orleans that If his constitu
ehts instructed him to 60 for the Wilmot Proyiso,
he would resign. We will see.
The Legislature Of Michigan have also instructed
their Senators in Congress to vote for the Wilmot

GoD AND LIBERrY.-This expression, which was
added to President Polk's message by waggish
operator in the Telegraph Office between Philadel-
phia and Cincinnati, has been severely commented
upon. We do not see so much Improperly in such
an addendum to the Message, as we discover in the
official edition, which by the 10000 was sent over
the United States with Propectus for the Washing
ton Congressional Globe attached. The first was
evidently impromptu, sent along the line by tired
getting through the $4,000 words,
letter by letter, exhibited his qualification in this
way rather than in throwing up his hat and giving
three cheers at such an important terminus. The
other was as evidently premeditated, and less mex
cusable.

WOMAN FROZEN TO DEATH.

Mrs JANE LEA1HERow, mother Of Mr. C. and Jos.
Jackson of this county, living with Nelson Bun
deay, went on q visit to some friends early last
month. On 3th of December she start
ed for home. Or her way she stopped at Mr. A. Nor
CAMS to ascertain If she could not get home near
er way than the road. Mr. NJ. told her the track
across was not broken and endeavored to persuade
her to keep in the usual road. But she would not
even stop to warm, said she was in haste to get
home, and that she would risk going across. Mr.
Bundeay and Mr. Jackson came to town on the Sat-
urday following. Meeting Mr. steenrod, in whose
Mrs Leatherow had been visiting, Mr.
Jackson asked after the health of his mother. Mr.
s. looked surprised and told him his mother had
started for home on the previous Wednesday. On
the next morning Mr. J. instituted an enquiry, and
when he saw Mr. Morgan and learned that she had
taken the unbroken track, the truth flashed upon
him that she might have lost her way and been fro
zen to death. The remainder Of the day was en-
ployed by him in frutless search for her. On the
morning of Tuesday he, with a large number of the
renewed the search. They finally found
her track and following discovered her body far
from the right path. She had evidently lost her way
and had wandered about until, apparently exhaust
ed, she sank down on her face, and died without
struggle in that position. This apparent as the
snow was left undisturbed all around her. Mrs L.
was about seventy-two years of age.
