most lndicrous effect. Towards criminals
he was especially polite; and, on one oo ca

of heart which was one Of his prominent
characteristics, paid every attention TO the
cu!pri', which his dreadful situation seemed
to require, and when the poor fellow was

adjusted, Mr.. Summer inquired, IN the most
friendly manner:
Docs the knot suit yon, sir; ?

The extra session.

A great deal has been and is still being
said in the papers all over the state, ia ref
erenee 10 tie sail, by the governor, Of an
extra session Of our state legislature, TO fiji
the vacancy caused By the inelligihihiy VI
I Gen. Shields, 10 bold the office or L. 5 Sem
ator. We have, on several occasions, al
reaey expressed our opposition TO Mch a
call ard from what we eau learn, there
are bat few papers ia the state, tina, would
/ uphold the governor IN forcing upon The pro-
pie the expenses Of an extra session, which
he might 50 easily avert, for we hardly think
the question as to the governors power to
appoints is a debatnble one. Ii is admitted
10y all hands. /, is true, the STATE Register
and several papers in the southern part Of
the state, pretend to be in doub, on this sub
iec., and therefore, rather Than the Gov.
should make mistaSr by appointing, they
are Wiling the state should incur the eN-
penSe OF an extra session. Bat every body
knows the motives Of these papers they
are actuated by self interest. Tie printing
Of an extra session, is an injucemeut for the
Register to advocate it, aud the railroad ex-
element in the southern part Of the state,
furnishes argument for few papers there.
But all disinterested papers throughout the
whole state are set against it, as well as the
masses Of the people. Our treasury is emp
~ enough, without being drained by unnec-
essary expenses; and our farmers are tax
ed enough without being forced to contrib
ute 10 the support aud enrichment Of any
newspaper establishment. They are ready
