zion and support of Territorial Uni,

erection and support of a Territorial Uni-
versity.
While our Government is disposing of
the public lands with a liberal hand to
those who have went at the call to arms !
to defend our rights, the same iberality
should be extended to the great cause of
Education. For it is the main pillar in
the Temple of Liberty, and the stability
and perpetuity of our Union, depends to a
great extent upon educating the masses
Republcanism is adverse to ignorance
We hope then to see liberal policy pur-
sued towards education, and we hope the
day is not far distant when Free Schools
will be established throughout this broad
land of ours. 1 #

river, opposite st. Joseph, to Judge Jesse
and Mr.. Blackston. Read twice and on
motion of Mr.. Eastin, referred to the Com
mittee on corporations. This course was
pursued in consequence of a Bill for another

Passed Council.
There is Bill before the House to di-
vorce Mr.. Freeland of Kickapoo. This
| is said to be case if ever there was one,
to justify Legislature in passing a Di-
vorce Bill. Yet I am disposed to believe
the courts of the country are the proper
tribunals to decide all such cases, whether
hard ones or soft ones. 7 q go g

The Governor this afternoon, Saturday
, returned the bill chartering the Kickapot
Ferry Company with his VETO, stating
his objections. 1t is the most weak anl
feeble document that ever emenated from
the brain of the most contemplate min
compoop, and only serves to show The
mule in his long-eared eannarks-the veto
He takes the position that we had no pow
er to adjourn from place where he calleG
US, to any other place, but suggests tina
we might have adjourned to Fort Leaven
worth, as that place was fixed upon as tht
permanent Seat of Government by the-ac
of Congress. How contemptible ! IF he
could adjourn from the temporary. Seat o
Government to Shawnee Manuel Labor
School, as he did, could not the TLegisla
ture adjourn from Pawnee to some place
His veto gives the lie to his former declar
atoms on the same subject. Last sprins
he said at this place, we could adjourn t
!, no other place from where he called us
during the first session. Now he says ~,
might have adjourned to Fort Leaven
worth. On the passage of the Bill, tn,
Governors objection to the contrary not
: withstanding, his veto was pretty web dis
