Mr. Douglas, from tile Committee
on Territories in the Senate Of the U.
States, has substituted for his first
bill, organizing the Teiritory Of Ne
braska, a bill organizing two terrific
ries-Kanzas and Nebraska They
both lie Immediately We st of the State
and river ef Missouri. Kansas ex-
tends from the 37th TO the 10th par

extend westward to Rocky Mount

the temporary seat of government

braska will convene the first iegisla-

suit his pleasure.
/ The introduction of this bill has
IosasioDed great excitement among

b. the New York Tribune and the
papers and politicians of lis class, that
the bill, in leaving the question Of
the in PRODUCTION of slavery IT, the
new te rritories to the people them
selves, is a repeal of the Missouri
compromise, which excluded slavery
north Of 800 80 parallel of north
latitud e. On the other hand. it is
contended, and truly, that the CON-
promise of 1850 takes precedence of
all previous legislation inconsistent
with it's provisions and spirit; that TO
legislate slavery into or out of the
territories would be violation Of lis
letter d nd spirit; and that the aues-
ton shpuld be left to the people. |

question have turned complete

. Ont in The PaperS,

Our readers win remember that, a
few weeks ago, Messrs. Ament, Sloan
and Smith we're nominated by Gov
erhor Johnson as Inspectors of the
Penit entiary- Their nominations
we're also confirmed by the Senate.
Subs equently, however, but in due
time, that body, for reasons known
to Itlemselves, reconsidered their vote
of confirmation, thus throwing the
Governors nominations back on his
hands. He then proposed Arts Brown,
Esq, DR.. B. w. Hall and Isaac Paul
as Inspectors, their nomination was
sanctioned by the Senate, and the
vote of appeal has not been reeonsid-
cred.
The first named gentlemen, We see
have come out in communication
to the public, in which they reflect
pretty severely on the Governor, by
whom they were nominated. The
manifesto is mixed up with good
deal of awkward swearing, said to
haye been uttered by his Excellency,
which, if correctly reported, will con-
vince most men that cursing is
not habit with him. All swearing
is in bad taste, but this is exceeding
" bad grammar and still worse the
t ology. We suppose he was much
/ provoked, and some Of his friends
think he had cause to be SO.
We have regretted this matter
small as it is, from the beginning
We are sorry j: happened. 1t is ar
ill-shaped affair. 1t is something
that is, which never should have
been. But the thing is as it is, ant
We do insist that fit calls for cen
sure, only a small part Of the blame
can lie at the door of Andrew John
son.
4 If the~gentlemen whom be frs'
honored with his confidence by ap.
pointing them Inspector of the Pen.
litentiary feel aggrieyed, and if they
cannot law the State out Of the Pen
Iitentiary, let them avenge themselves
by pouring out the vials of their
wrath on the Senate, th ht refused to
let them wear the honofs with which
the Governor had clothed them
The public will readily infer tina:
these gentlemen may have done some
thing between the time of their con
iirmation by the Senate and the time
when the Senate reconsidered the
vote confirming them, which in the
estimation of that body twas sufficient

ry in this country. Meteorological
records for the summer of 1858
show that but one previous summer
in the present century had been so
cold and. unfriendly to the full ma
turity ofcrops in England and France.
The climate of England is barely
warm enough to ripen full crops Of
wheat in ordinary seasons, and it
will not grow maize at all. These
facts being understood, it is obvious
that whenever May, June, July and
August are essentially colder than.
usual in England, Scotland and Ire
land, short crops ana largely increas-
ed importations are inevitable
Since 1916, there has not been so
cold summer in Western Europe
as that of 1858. To this was added
a general unffvorable time for har-
vest, and the further adverse influence
of anticipated war.
1t must be borne in mind that
England has two inhabitants for one

Island does not increase with the
steady increase of population
Hence, with 10 short crops her an

even faster than the population. be-

Of all the facts we can discover no
good reason to believe that the bar
