Chic Legislature.

This body, we presume, adjourned sine
die on Monday. The accounts of its recent
dongs ure very imperfect. The bill to a.
boish Capital Punishment passed the Sen
ate l9 TO ~, but we have not yet learned its
fate in The House, though we hope it has
passed. rn
The bills to annex Salem to hlahoning
County, and TO establish a Bank at New
Lisbon, were defeated. We do not know
what was done with the Homestead Exemp-
ton bill, but fear that it was killed.
The House passed bill appropriating
from the Treasury S25 TO each colored per-
sons who will enrol himself for LIBERIA
We hope the Senate killed it. Wonder

Legislature power to vote money from the
Treasury for such purpose We rely up,

TAXATION WITHOUT REPHEsESTArIoy.-Mrs
Swisshelm pithily says: "We do think it is
time gentlemen would cease taxing ladies slip
pcrs and sidc-combs to dciray the expenses of
Congress, until they have acknowledged their
right to a Representation there. II We orc too
angelic to be politicians, we arc too sublime TO
be subject to taxation; if we are too silly to sec
through State affairs, we are too simple to count
per ccntago with tax-gathcrer; and by the
present law every dry goods and fancy dealer,
every grocer and pcdlar is tax -gathcrcr. Cen
tlcmcn boast of their chivalry in protecting us,
but they take caro- to be well paid for thcir
uation upon their services"
We hope Mrs. s. may be induced to como to
our Womens Convention.

Gen. Cass frankly confessed that, with re-

Death Of Wm. D. Irish,

We record with deep regret the sudden
New Lisbon. He died on the morning of
the 22d inst, ut Falling Springs, Pa,
whittier he had gone to visit a sick relative.
An attack of bilious collie, ia disease to which
he had been subject for some iime,) proved
too severe for u constitution already some.
what impaired by age, and terminated his
mortal existence at time when that sud and
solemn event was little anticipated by his
family and friends. His age, we understand,
was T6 years. His remains were committed
to the dust, in Friends burying-ground at
New Lisbon, OIL the 25th inst. A large num-
Der OF people were gathered on the occasion
TO testify their respect for his memory and
niingle their tears with those of the deeply
bercaved family.
Our personal acquaintance with him was
by no means intimate, and we know com
paratively little of his history. We have
understood that, when forty years of age, or
thereabouts, following his religious convic-
tons, lie left the atmosphere of politics,
(where he had been conspicious,) and, un-
der the immediate influence of the ministry
of ELIAS Hicks, became member OF tho
Society Of Friends, with which he was con-
Dected at the time OF his death. Such n
step OIL his part must have required at that
time great strength of will and no small a.
mount OF moral courage. Since we first
met him, more than eight years ago, wo
have known him us an Abolitionist aud
friend OF every hulnanitury Reform. In tho
Society oil Friends, SO far us we know, his
influence was always exered against the
spirit Of sectarianism and bigotry, and to in
duce those associated with him TO beur an
active aud faithful testimony against the evils
and crimes OF the aye.
Ills faults wcro such as are ever incident
10 AN ardent temperament and warm and
impulsive disposition. There was about
him no lukcwarmness, no guile. lie always
spoke us he felt, and il ut times his manner
was tngcd by the dross Of passion, it was
tercepting tor moment the warm sunlight
OF generous and noble nature.
The cause OF Freedom aud Progress has
lost in him un honest and devoted ilend, and
tue flying fugitive from oppression will
mourn the departure OF ouc whose sympt-
thy und aid were always bestowed upon him
in tue hour OF need. Few who have knC wn
him will read the record of his death WITH
out dropping tear to his memory. ,a9.l
+ To his immediate family, TO whom he
was ever most iondly attached, his loss viii
, be irrcparable May tho God of the widow
and the fatherless be their stay and their
| support
"To gaze upon the loved in death,
10 mark tho closing, bcamless eye.

New MIxico.-Mr. Smith, the Delegate to
Congress from this Territory, is waiting to be
admitted to his scat, but tho Committee on
Elections, to whom his claims were referred,
has not made any report. Mr.. Smith states, Is
we learn from the Pittsburgh Gazette, that the
territory already has ample population for
State, that the inhabitants arc unanimously op-
posed to slavery, and that it cannot exist there;
that the people are suffering for the want of au
efficient Government, and arc much divided in
opinion, as to what form of organization, State
or Territorial, they shall adopt. We may add
that from information which VIC think reliable,
VIC have reason to believe that tho final result
will be the organization of State Government,
which will apply for admission to the Union at
the opening of the next Congress.
