tural paper, which has just made its appearance
from the city OF Racine. NJ. MILLER, editor and
publisher. 1t is to be published monthly. The
first number looks well, and the matter it contains
we should Judge to be Of the right kind. 1t will
doubtless be worthy of the support of that portion

SENATOR DOUGLASS There is some specula-
ton as to whether Senator Douglass of Illinois will
resign, now that his Legislature has instructed him
10 vote for the Wimot Proviso. In a speech at
New Orleans, during the late Presidential canvass,
he said that if he should receive such instructions,
he would resign his seat in tie Senate. We don't
believe he will resign.

An Irish night was once disputing with
a French courier as 10 the age and standing
of their families, when the latter, IS fin

1t would seem that nothing liberal or humane
could receive the sanction of that hopelessiy ard
miserabiy conservative body, the U. S. Senate -
We doubt whether there is legislative body in
the civilized world so little affected influenced
by the spirit of reform and advancement which is
everywhere exhibiting itself 1t is great sum-
bling block IN the way of progress in this CONN.,
try, and it would be happy thing for the interests
of the masses if it could be entirely removed,
changed in its character OF constitution to be
open in moderate degree, at least, TO popular in
fuenee and control We want men there of high
neral sentiment and feeling, as well as high INTEL
lectual endowments-.nen with hearts as we'll as
heads
But for the Senate, we should doubtless have at
this session laws for the organization of the new
territories, with the slavery prohibition and provi-
ding adequate protection for free labor and free la
borers. This body, however, will unquestionably
insist either upon the Missouri compromise line,
which will give up the best portion Of these terri
tories TO the blight and curse of slavery upon
entire absence ofany legal provision the subject,
which will be giving up the whole of it to the pc
culiar institution. To either of these propositions
the House will not and should not consent, and the
consequence will be that our newly acquired terri
tories must be left to take of themselves as
best they may. We have but little hope of any
J thing better in the next Congress.
t Bat what we had particularly in mind when we
commenced this article, was the rejection by the
Senate OF provision which the House had adopted
by decisive vote. abolishing the abominable prac-
tice of fogging in the navy. We were sangulne
after the action of the House TIE subject, that
this disgraceiul and barbarous practice would at
last and forever be disalIowej But the grand con-
seruattue body Of the Union has determined other
wise regardless OF the dictates of humanity and the
| prevailing sentiment of the age. Only II votes
were recorded in favor of the proposition
That the Shareholders ofthe south, who live by
system of v'oience, should vote against such a
proposition, is perfectly natural. but how northern
senators, those who live where liberazing and hui
lnanzing influences are at work, could record their
votes in the negative, is inexpcable
Ifcorporeal Punishment be necessary to secure
obedience and efficiency in one department Of tie
public service, we donr know why it is not equal
ly necessary in other departments; aad it may be
that little wholes ONE discipline of this kind
| would not be amss in the case of those who seem
so willing 70 have it inflicted on others. We don't
know why, iu1be eye Of the law, the back of an
unruly, uniaithful member of Congress, should be
a whit more sacred than that of poor sailor oil
! marine.

E=g Senator Dodge, of Iowa, in some
remarks in the Senate, intilnated his determination
TO go with the south in matters pertaining to the
interests of the peculiar institution. This of
course was very gratifying to Calhoun Foote, Ven
able ct id gems o,ane, many Of whom, upon the
announcement advanced and warmly greeted the
new Senator. Jones, the colleague of Dodge, will
doubtless take similar course; and they may find
an excuse in the fact that the Legislature of their
state refused to pass resolutions in favor OF the Will
mot proviso. But we believe the Legislature bell
ed the sentiments OF the people, and that the Sena.
tors in Congress from that State do the same thing
If not, Iowa bellies her character free state; and
regards questions of free and slave territory and
free and slave labor interests, may be considered as
