LEGISLATIVE Fun.

Nixon Of McHenry county, besides being one
Of the most attentive and hard working men in
the House is also the wit of that body. few
days ago a series of resolutions were introduced
which Nixon thought did not come properly
within the purview of an Illinois Legislature !;
forthwith he prepared at his desk and sent up to
the Clerks table tho following substitute, the
reading of which drew forth peal after peal of
laughter from all parts Of the House, including
lobby and gallery:
Whereas, Great disturbances have arisen in
the world, in consequence Of the refusal of the
Gar of Russia to accept the note Of the allied
powers, and the subsequent invasion of Turkey
by ttos pAwer; and whereas, we believe that it
is thkmanfest intention of the Gar to destroy
the nationality of the Turkish empire, and annex
its territory to the empire of Russia, thereby
creating dangerous monopoly, and endanger-
ing the balance Of power in Europe, and the
peace and harmony of the world and whereas
we deem it the imperative duty Of this Legsla-
ture to protest against the aforesaid aggressive
policy of the Gear; and whereas, we believe it
was the duty Of the Executive of Russia to have
agreed to the utimatum of Turkey, as recon-
mended by the neutral powers; and whereas,
we cannot, with due regard to our honor and
our antecedents, calmly submit to the annexation
Vi any HlOTe tcillluly W TIC eIDpTo Oi hussli,
believing that that empire is already sufficiently
large: Therefore, be it
RESOLVED by the House of Representatives. the
Senate concurring herein, That the course pur-
| sued by the Gar of Russia, upon the Turkish
question, meets with our unqualified disappro-
baton.
Resolred, That in our opinion it was the du-
ty of the Executive of Russia to have agreed to
the ultimatum of Turkey, and settle the ques-
ton upon the basis therein proposed.
RESOLVED, That we are opposed to the annex
alton of any more territory TO the empire of
Russia, deeming it inconsistent with our inter-
est and the progress Of democracy in Europe.
RESOLVED, That the Car be respectfully re-
quested to evacuatc the Principaties as soon as
he shall receive n copy of these resolutions.
Resolred That we look upon the Prime Min
lister, Nesselrode, as entirely unfit for the posi-
ton he occupies, and would suggest that he be
Immediately dismissed
Resoired That if the Government of Russia
shall still adhere to the policy of annexing Tur-
key after the receipt of these resolutions, would
respectfully suggest, with all Difference to the
rights of that power, that the principles of the
Missouri Compromise be extended over all ter
ritory acquired from Turkey.
RESOLVED, That the Governor be required to for
ward to the aforesaid Car copy of the above
resolutions.
The resolutions were tabled by decisive vote
but their object was fully accomplished.

SECOND TRIAL TRIP OF THE ERIcssoN-The
public were taken by surprise yesterday, on see
ing the Ericsson moving around the waters of
the Bay. None beside Capt. Ericsson, the own
ers and others Immediately interested, were on
board but we learn that the performance of the
ship was such as TO afford the highest degree of
satisfaction. The difficulty of making the en-
gines air-tght, has proved to be greater than
could have been anticipated; yet this is being
gradually overcome. The wheels yesterday
made 81 turns on very small pressure,-say'
one.fourth of the maximum pressure which (in
tho words of one well qualified to know sis
intended, and which will be carried" Her cyl.
inders are but so inches, instead of 100 as in the
Collins steamer; and it is affirmed that even
with the pressure already attained, supposing
she was provided with cylinders of the latter d.
mansions, she might have been driven with any
desired speed.
The greatest interest was manifested yester-.
day on its becoming known that the Ericsson
had gone down the Bay, and eager inquiry made
as to the result The quantity of fuel cousum-
ed on the trip was quite insignificant
The time that has yet elapsed since the keel
of the Ericsson was laid is not so long as is nec-
essary TO build an ordinary first class ocean
steamer. [Jour. of Com.

To THE PoINT.-We yesterday mentioned the
fact that Col Sam Medary, Of Ohio, in view Of
the fact that he is candidate for the u S. Sen.
atorshp about to become vacant in that State,
had written letter defining his position on the
Nebraska question. The following is an ex-
tract:
81 always have been, and always expect to be,
an advocate of the right of every people to es-
tabsh such forms of government as they think
conductive to their own happiness and welfare
If this capability does not exist in the people,
then our whole theory of government is false.
hood and cheat have always advocated the
doctrine of alteration, amendment or repeal, and
have ever looked upon .fnalities in free govern
ment as contrary to its spirit and dangerous to
the peoples independence, if not reflection on
the intelligence of those who are to come after
us. am therefore, in favor of the principles of
the Territorial bill before Congress, to organize
Nebraska and Kansas; and expect Mt all fu-
ture times to advocate the same doctrines, wheth-
err applied north or south of SO degrees 80 min
utes. If these views are not satisfactory to the
members of Legislature, do not desire an cleo.
ton, and prefer to remain private citizen and
advocate them in the ranks of the democratic
party as heretofore ro' ll'l'@ '-iii t'oe

WAREHoUsEs.-On Of the strongest indica-
tons Of what railroads are doing for Chicago, is
found in the fact that the grain and produce
which is seeking our city by the various lines
now in operation, has reached an amount already
beyond the facilities for storage. Our ware
houses are full, our mills are to the utmost en-
tent taxed to store the receipts still coming for
ward, for early shipment, and now that the in
quiry for storage is less readily met it is exert
ing its influence upon the market in materially
checking operations. We have before noticed
the fact that some shippers are storing their
grain on board vessels lying in the harbor, plan
which, though necessary, is at the best hazard
Gus, until the ice has left the river. Some of
our dealers in produce are running up cheap,
temporary buildings to answer their purposes,
until navigation is resumed. Everything is de-
caring the fact that the exhaustless agricultural
wealth of the broad praires of our own and 9TH.
er States, is to seek shipment at Chicago, ma.
king the necessity imperative that men Of capt.
tai and enterprise should furnish adequate
means for its reception. When that is DONE,
our river will be lined with rows of warehouses
that in capacity and magnifcence will excite the
wonder of all who visit our city. We learn that
large preparations for building during the CON-
ing season are being made, and we hope that
whatever the interests of Chicago may demand,
she numbers among her citizens many who will
not in any respect be found wanting.
