THE TELEGRAPH.
KENOsHEA, MARCH 10, 1854.
The Democrat on Fictions.

Our neighbor of the Democrat is ne
doubt profoundly learned in the Consti
tuition and Law, and fully competent tc
detect errors unintentional and otherwise
Of the abolitionists; nevertheless we dc
think he has something yet to learn, and
if we are not competent to teach him we
may put his acute capacities on the scent
when he will no doubt teach himself.
The ordinance of 1887, does prescribe
the number of persons necessary to ena-
bic Territory in the North West terri
tory. to demand admission as a State. as
any person can see by reading it. The
point we made was that the ordinance
made distinction between Territory
and State, and the language of the Or
dinance fully confirms us, and sustains
what we meant and what we said.
The Ordinance of 1887 says: "That the
following articles shall be considered as
articles of compact between the original
states, and the people and states in the
said territory, and forever remain unalter-
able unless by common consent"
Section l. Art. G. of the Constitution
of the United States says:-''All debts con
tracted and engagements entered into
before the adoption of this Constitution
shall be as valid against the United States
under this Constitution, as under the con
federation
If this compact made under the conf d.
Grafton was not an engagement valid
against the United States, and confirmed
by the section we have quoted, then We
don't know what it all means.
And perhaps our neighbor will point out
those laws of Congress, which in any wise
alter, modify or repeal, any Of the articles
ofcompact of the Ordinance of1787. We
are curious to see them.
We have no doubt, that this solemn
compact alterablc only by common con
sent, will fall next after the Missouri Com
promise. under the hands of the Slave
Holders but our impression was, that as
vet, it had been esteemed sacred.
We may add, that we take no pleasure
in exposing the unintentional mistake OF
any person-and do it only, as indicating
the general lack of conscience and intcg-
rity, and abundance of assinine assmp-
ton, on the part of genuine bunker.

FATAL AcCIDENT-ExrRAoRDINARY

FATAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
PREsENTMENT.-On Tuesday, Simeon
c. Webster, formerly of Jericho, Vt,
was caught 10y the belt of driving shaft
in mill at Nashua, and instantly xii
led-his neck having been broken and
his body horribly mangled, Mr.. Web
ster was in his goth year, and had been
married about three months. We have
learned, from relative of Mr.. w, that
on .he day Of the accident Mrs. Webster
was strongly impressed with the idea
that a terrible calamity was then to hap
pen to her husband. She was exceed
ingly depressed, and weeping as though
the event had already occurred, express
sed her conviction to the lady with whom
she boarded. This lady endeavored to
calm her fears, and invited Mrs. w. to
her room. On the way, they observed
from the window a crowd in the yard of
the mill, and Mrs. Webster instantly
exclaimed" Simeon is dead" Alas.
it was too true Vermont UdtchBadn.
WIThoUT \ PARALLEL.-Thea amount
invested in school houses in Boston is
$l,5OOO00. The yearly appropriations
for education are $l,200,000, while the
amount raised for all other city expenses
is only $4,000. The amount expend-
ed for instruction in the common schools
OF Massachusetts, last year, was $3.50 for
each child between five and fifteen years
of age in the State. This is unques-
tionably the best commentary ever az
forded upon Boston influence, and is
eminently worthy of imitation else
where.

State SWindle.


The following letter from Ex-Goyer-
nor Farwell explains itself. 1t shows
the desperation of those who are pressing
through the Land Grabbing scheme in
Congress.
WASHINGTON, Feb. %, 1854.
To tie Senators and Representatives
an Congress- from the State Of Wis
c0Rsiu:
GENTLEMEN; On my arrival in this
city on Saturday evening, the 18th in
slant, my attention was called to the me
mortal of the Legislature of the State of
Wisconsin, passed April 10, 1852, ask
ing of Congress the grant of public lands
to aid in the construction of Railroads in
that State, upon which memorial | un-
derstand the action Of the delegation in
Congress has been based; and | find, on
examination cf the said memorial, that
it as not IN the form IN aohich 1t passed
the Legislature IT tie said State.
| would state for your information
that On important amendment aoas at
tdched to tie SAID memorial, as 1t fnuliy
passed, setting forth the terms upon
which the State of Wisconsin desired
land grants in aid of the railroads with
in its borders, which amendment does
not now appear in the memorial. You
will find a memorial passed April IA,
of the same year, and approved by the
Governor, which embodies the princi-
pies of the amendment referred to.
would also state, that the memorial first
mentioned was never presented to me
for Executive approval, but was sent on,
contrary to usage, and without my knowl-
edge, through the Office of the Secreta-
ry Of State. A reference to the acts
passed by the Legislature of the State
of Wisconsin, for the year 1852, a copy
Of which will be found in the Congress
sional Library, will show that this me-
mortal alone, of all passed during that
session, did not receive the approval, and
does not bear the signature Of the Gov
ernor of the State.
| have deemed it my imperative duty,
as the late Governor of the said State
to call your attention to these facts, leay-
ing YOU to take such action upon them
as you may deem due to yourselves, and
to the interests and honor of the Stat
which you represent.
| remain, gentlemen, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
LEONARD J. FAREWELL.
The Memorial, to which the Govern
or refers, had the following Proviso,
which was suppressed, and not sent with
