PANTHER SrEAKs.-The Albany editors have
been feasting on panther steaks. The editor of the
Express says, when cooked 1t resembles tender
loi steak, although the meat is much more delicate
and savory" If as writer in Halls Journal Of
Health asserts a person partskes of the nature Of
the animal whose flesh he eats, we shall hear Of
savage doings and sayings on the part of these
pantherized editors Would not some milder diet
be better for the editorial craft sBBaio Courier.
The Courier must not suppose that all the sdi-
tors in Albany are addicted to the flesh Of carniver
Gus animals Most Of them never indulge in any
thing nearer to such diet than sausages.-Atbany

From the Auburn American.


The excitement consequent upon the election Of
United States Senator, is subsiding rapidly. Hun
dreds of outsiders and lockers on have left town.
Some Of the hotels are almost depleted by the gem
eral exodus of those who came here to aid in the
choice of Mr. Seward
II am glad to be able to say that Speaker Little
John was not burned in effigy last night Those
who dislike his course, and who are deeply exas-
nerated at his treachery have, l think, taken a
sober second thought" Still, it is intmated that
the burning will take place tonight, and that some
hundreds Of sympathizers" will be present from
Greenbush. Still, hope this is not the case, for
greatly dislike these peculiar methods OF indicating
popular dislike of public man. There is better
way to show it. if it exists and that is through the
balotboxes Let those who dislike Mr.. Little
Johns conduct-and all honest candid, fair-minded
men must do so-bide their time. The reaction
which is certain to visit him. will crush him.
Office seekers are here in crowds, in shoals and in
droyes. They have all performed their parts in
the election OF Senator, and now expect the ap-
pontments to be made at once They will be made
very soon. The great obstacle is out OF the way
Senator Dickinson mot Daniel s. Dickinson, but
n State Senator, displayed his customary courtesy
and fairness yesterday by repeatedly denouncing
Daniel Ullman as a pirate and hypocritei Strange
that man of that stripe should have received the
suffrages of one hundred and twenty-five thousand
of the people Of this State, and that, too, without
a solitary paper in the State to raise his name or
advocate his claims Mr.. Dickinson belittled him
self, if that is possible, when he thus stigmatzed
Daniel Ullman 1t is shrewdly suspected here that
Mr. Ullman will actually survive this attack
Senator Whitneys speech on the subject of
church property, which was delivered on the 9th
instant, is a very able one. / send you copy of
it, II will be read with interest, and, doubt not,
profit.
Mr.. Rickcrson, the recreant member from Greene
county, was hung in efigy in the village OF Cox
sackie yesterday He was burnt in efngy at Cats
kin the night before These popular demonstra-
tons show how the people feel just now towards
the traitors who reelected Mr.. Seward.
The temperature here was S2 degrees milder
this morning than II was at the same hour yester-
day. Half foot Of snow has fallen, and the sleigh
ing is tolerable. ..

DELEGATE rRoM KANSAS. The New
York Times publishes some interesting doc.
uments concerning the con'es, between
Reeder and Whitfield for admission 10 The
House Of Representatives as delegate from
Kansas. Fus, is letter from Mr.. ReedeI
10 Whitfield, notifying him Of his purpose
10 contest his seat. and appri'ins him OF the
lime and places At which he will take ,esli.
mony concerning the election. Next, is
whi,feld's reply, which is trade Of very
coarse and undgnifed abuse Of Reeder,
withou, any at,emp, a, argument. Ap
pended to these, is The administration view
Of The question, as presented by the Wash.
ing,on Union, which is, Of course, in favor
Of wrong, injustice. oppression, and slave.
ry, and opposed 10 Governor Reeder and The
real settlers Of Kansas.
In appropriate connection with these doc
uments, the telegraph brings us information
OF the arrival Of Gov. Reeder a, the resi-.
denco OF his family, a, Easion, Pennsylva.
MIA, where he was received by very large
assemblase Of the people at Easlon, and
neighborhood, who came TO gree, him with
hearty welcome, and an earnest and warm
approval Of his course. He was escorted
by large concourse Of citizens 10 the
hotel where he was welcomed IN an clio
quent address by George w. Yates, Esq,
after which the Governor delivered an i'm.
pressive speech. He gave rapid, but H.
minous and candid history OF The whole oil
the Kansas affair, showing up the unfair.
ness and hypocrisy OF the Administration on
the one side, and The high.handed aud law
less proceedings OF tho Missouri invaders
on The other. He explained satisfactorily
all his course, and avowed his determine.
ton 10 stand by at all hazards and through
all consequences the noble platform Of prin.
ciples adopted BY the free State party q
Kansas. Throughout, The whole o! his
speech there was not one violen, or abusive
ephi,hei against those at whose hands he
has received such measureless abuse. He
closed amid loud and long continued aP'
plause.
The fate of Kansas turns substantially Oh
the decision which the House Of Represen'
,a,ives may come to, on the admission o.
the Delegates. Whitfield is the Delegae
chosen under the authority Of The Territorial
Legislature Reeder was elected by Inc
people, acting in their sovereign capacity
upon the assump,ion,-which is susceptible
OF abundant proof that there was no Ter
rilorial Legislature in existence, inasmncl
as The body claiming 10 DO such was impCs
ed upon them by armed invaders from Mis-
souri, but Whitfield has the forms of In
law in his favor. In deciding this question
therefore, the House will decide OH III,
validity Of the acts OF the Kansas Legisla
ture, and Of the mock election at which IL
pretended members were chosen. Tn,
question is one Of momenious importance
and lis agitation is close upon us.
