my son that wished him to take possession
of it, and to manage the business of farming
according to his own judgment-yet at the
same time would Law down set of unnlter-
able rules, and appoint and send TO the farm
q whole troop of overseers to dictate to my
son about the business of farming, to execute
the roles had established, and not allow
my son to adopt any plan, unless it met my
appreciation. Now, If my son had any sense
would be not ask how he was 10 manage the
business of farming according to his own
judgment and will, If he were compelled to
obey alllthese rules and overseers! And will
not the people of Nebraska and Kansas ask
how they are to govern themselves, if they
have to obey all the laws of Congress, and
all the true office holders which are to be sent
out from Washington City to govern them!
But even admitting, for the sake of argu-
ment, that this bill does establish the "squat-
ter sovereignty" rs some of its friends have
commended it did, would still oppose it az
dangerous absurdty. Suppose a parent
would disclaim all authority to govern his in
FAINT and feeble offspring, and abandon them
to their own impulses. Although now and
then, one Of them might do well, yet the
chances are that majority of them would
90 to ruin. The Constitution Of the United
States makes Congress the guardian-the
artificial parent of the infant settlements OF
the territories, and it is as much her duty to
govern, protect and train up these infant set
Elements until they reach maturity, as it is
the duty of natural parent to govern, pro-
tect and train up his offspring. And the
consequence of neglect to discharge this
duty, would be just as criminal and fatal in
the one case as in the other

A SHORT SroRY.-Dickens tells the fol-
lowing story of an American sea captain:


lowing story of an American sea captain:
In his last voyage home, the captain hat
on board young lady of remarkable person
al attraction-a phrase | use AZ being one
entirely new, and one you never meet with
in the newspapers. This young lady was
beloved intensely by five young gentlemen
passengers, and in turn she was in love with
them ell very ardently, but without any par.
ticular preference for either. Not knowing
how to make up her determination in this di.
lemma, she consulted my friend, the captain.
The captain being a man of original turn oil
mind, says to the young lady:
slump overheard, and marry the man who
Jumps after you"
The young lady, struck with the idea, and
being naturally fond of bathing, especially
i'm warm weather. as it then was, took the
advice of the captain, who had boat ready
and manned, in case Of accident. Accor.
dinghy, the next morning, the five lovers be-
ing on deck, and looking very devotedly at
the young lady, she plunged into the sea,
head foremost. Four of the lovers imme-
diately jumped in after her. When the
young lady and her four lovers were got out
again, she says to the captain:
"What am | to do now! They are so
wet"
"Take the dry one!" replied the captain.
And the young lady did, and married him.

Reading n Love Letter.

An amusing instance of Hibernia simpl
city is afforded by the following little story
told us by friend, in whose words we give
it:
Molly, our house maid, is model one, who
handles the broomstick like sceptre, and
who has an adherence for dirt, and a sym.
pathy for soapsuds, that amounts 10 a passion.
She is bustlng, busy, rosy-cheeked, bright
eyed, plundering Hibernian, who hovers
papers, and goes about thirsting for new
worlds to conquer, in the way of undusted
and unrighted corners.
One day she entered our library in a con.
fused and uncertain manner, quite different
from her usual busting way. She stood at
the door with n letter between her thumb and
finger, which she held at arms length as il
she had gunpowder plot IN her grasp. In
answer to our inquiries as 10 her business
she said:
can it phase yer honor, I'm a poor girl
and han't much larnin', and We sees, phase
yer honor, Paddy O'Reilly, and the betther
than him doesn't brathe in auld Ireland, has
been wrtin' Of me a letther-a love Ietther
phase yer honor, an'-an-"
We guessed at her embarrassment and OF.
fered TO relieve it by reading the letter. Still
she hesitated, while she twisted bit of raw
cotton in her fingers.
"Shure," she resumed" an that's what ]
want, but it isn't Il gentleman like ersell
that would be knowing the sacrets between
US, and so-here she twisted the cotton quite
nervously-if it ill only phase yer honor
while yer reading, so that yer may not hear
il yerseIf, ify'll jist put this bit of cotton Il,
ger ears and stop up ger hearing. and thin the
sac-ets ill lie unknown to yer.''
We hadn't The heart to refuse her, and
with the gravest face possible, complied with
her request, but often since, we have laugh.
ed heartily as we have related the incident.

The Rototo0uSGh C0AveuttOus
We learn BY private Dispatch that the
labors Of the Convention closed yesterday
on the Sand ballot, and resulted in the re-
nomination of Hon. Smith Miller, the pres
sat incumbent. The Convention, we learn
indirectly, was organized under some spirit
ed excitement, and continued abortivs bal.
lettings throughout the first day, and adjourn
ed at the 47th ballot, az O'Clock at mighty
without making a choice of a candidate
Yesterday the Convention succeeded in
bringing the man again before the people for
reelection, who, of all others presented, has
rendered himself the most VIGOROUSLY unfit
for the Office, and the most unworthy of trust
of any man in the District.
Such, however, are the legitimate results
of Locofocoism. The behests of the Doug
las dissolving administration had to be
obeyed. A question of far deeper impor-
lance is yet to be settled; the successful cam
didate is now called to face an honest and
indignant constituency, whose feelings and
principles he has outraged, and whose conf
dence he has most wantonly betrayed. We
shall give a detailed account Of this Conven.
ton, from our Reporters notes, on Monday.

and no mistake, in consequence of an lima
tured criticism on her "Leaves," by the edi-
