WISCONSIN. Gov. Dewey's message to the
Wisconsin Legislature appears in the papers oil
that State After speaking of the internal improve
ments and public lands of the State, the Governor
proceeds tothe subjects of banking and the Wilmot
Pfoviso. The Milwaukee Wisconsin thus analyses
the latter portion Of the message
The Governor ably and clearly presents the dam
gers of banking-that it is an evil which becomes
ramifed with all the interests of society that the
people cannot shake it off-even when they want
to. He gives full history of The Wisconsin Ma
rine and Fire Insurance Company, of its original
charter in &c. and its repeal in 49, and finally adj
vises that the Legislature institute such proceed
ings will determine the legality of its proceed
lngs. He justly deems it vital both to the corpora
tors as well as to the people, that this question
should be settled. A quo tcarraatO, we believe, is
the usual method to proceed in such cases. He al.
urges that suits be instituted to punish all per
sons violating the laws against unauthorized
banking.
The Governor strongly urges the repeal Of the
law which torblds the receipt of State scrip in pay
ment of debts to the State. The above are but a
few OF the important suggestions in the message
In conclusion, the Governor reverts to the sub
ect of slavery and its extension, and thus partcu-
larly urges the restoration Of instructions our
Senators in Congress against the extension of slave
ry--n acting, he aceords with nine-tenths of all
parties. He says
"The extension of the area of slavery has as.
sumed, within the last two years, prominent atti.
tude national question. Views adverse to the
extension have been fully expressed heretofore, by
the Legislature and it may not be inappropriate
the OCCASION to retterato at your present session
the views of the people this question, and at the
same time declare that Wisconsin will abide by the
compromises of the Constitution"

70 Miss Kimberley reads As you Like It." at
the Lyceum Hall this evening. This lady brings
with her reputation Of recent growth indeed, but
one which has passed the ordeal ofpublic criticism,
and is stamped with the mark OF approval by the
universal testimony Of the press wherever she has
appeared. We have not noticed single dissent. in
any quarter to the estimate Of her fine appreciation
OF the beauties Of Shakespeare, and the decacy and
power with which she delivers them in these read
mgs Making her debut in the city Of Philadelphia
immediately after the remarkable sensation pro-
dueed by the readings Of Fanny Kemble, she showed
acontdence n her own powers which her success
inatiracting large audiences and winning continued
applause, proves 10 have been we'll founded.
The selection Of As Yon Like luis good one
for the debut ofs,he lady. The nelodious tones of
woman's voice win give new charms 10 the sweet
poetry and harmonious verse with which the play
abounds-and more than any mans could do-eiye
truthful effect to the archness and tenderness of Ro
salnd, and the melancholy musings of JACQUES.
anticipating rich treat, we cordially invite The
ladies Of our city to encourage one of their sex bv
their presence; especially as besides the attraction
she presents in her intellectual efforts, she has a
great merit in our eyes in being countrywoman
Of our own--a daughter Of the soil-whose genius
owes nothing % training upon any models bu,
these formed BY her native tastes.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Houses Of the Geor-
ga Legislature have passed bills for re-organizine
the Senatorial Districts of the State. One Of the
bills will without doubt, be passed and approved
by the Governor. The avowed purpose Of the bills
is to secure to the Democratic party majority Of
the Senatorial Districts and consequently ma
jority in the reapportonment under another census
The defence Of this unusual act is the allegation
that when the present apportionment bill was pass
ed, the Wings, having the majority, so dstricted,
or the phrase is gerrymandered" the State, as to
give themselves, by calculation, large permanent
majority, viz 80 out of AZ Senators. The Demo
Gratis for the first time in many years, have ma
jorty in both Houses and they have retaliated and
made another apportionment by which they expect
to secure themselves permanent majority. In the
chances of politics. it may happen to them, it has
done to the Wings, that they will lose the power,
once, when all the labor can be undone again. and
the political balance made to turn the other way.
Nearly all the Wings OF the Lower House left
their seats in order defeat that BILL by breaking
up quorum, but enough remained to Illustrate the
object.
One House has also passed bill recognizing
the Congressional Districts with the same purpose
Of securing Democratic majority in the next Con-
gress. This is Of some Importance, because the
next Congress would have to vote for President in
case of such number of candidates at the election
in 1852, as would prevent election by the peo-
pie The democratic bill takes five out of the eight
pretty certainly for the democrats and leaves one
more debateable.
The question is raised, whether this BILL ifpassed,
before the special election, ION the 18th of February
for the vacancy-in place of Thomas Butler King
resigned-will affect that district. Obviously not
any more than if Mr.. King had not resigned The
election to fill the vacancy has distinct reference
to the district it existed when the original cleo
ton was made. Otherwise great confusion woulc
follow. Some part of the new district will have
voted twice for Congress- and be represented twice
portion of may be included in another district
where it did not vote at the past election, and will
therefore have voice at all in choosing a repre-
sentative, if excluded from the new district The
case is to perfectly plain, that we wonder any
question is raised at all, although we see it is dis
cussed in the Georgia papers as point of embar.
rassment.

man. named Wade, who claims to be citizen of
the State of North Carolina, was arrested in Peters
burg, Va, on the 18th inst, in the act of kidnap-
ping two negro men. The Richmond Times says
that Wade had been tampering with the negroes
several days prior the one on which he left the
city Through his representations and persuasion,
they agreed TO follow him to the South. According
to their statements, Wade pledged himself to give
each OF them $500 in money -on reaching New Or
leans. The amount was to be raised in this man.
ner: Wade was to pass himself as the owner of the
slaves-was to sell hem in New Orleans, and give
each Of them $500 of the proceeds arising from
the sale. With this money the negroes were as
sured they could easily escape to free State. One
of the negroes divuIged the whole affair to Mr.. An.
derson, the owner, who thereupon took cautious
though effective steps for the arrest of the kdnsp-
per, which succeeded.
