A number of Petitions and Bills have beer
presented and referred. Among them is peti.
ton for new county out Of parts Of Bates ant
Van Buren,, to be called Cass. 1t seems rather
singular that such good and true democrats as re-
side in that portion Of Missouri should deem il
necessary or be even willing to take portion o
Van Buren, and portion Of Bates to make
Cas-, the three will present rather singular trio.
1t would be more appropriate, l should think, il
the Democracy wish to compliment the defeated
candidate Of the party, to locate the new county
somewhere else. should not be surprised how
ever to hear Of some proposition to change the
name Of the Free Soil county, as it is favoritt
mode with the Democracy of Missouri Of ex.
pressing their indignation against former favor
ties.
