Mr.. Cook and the Senatership. Bargain and Sale
The Davenport Gazette, of q recent date.
says, in substance, that Mr.. Cooks prospects
are Frightening, and ventures to predict, and
| express desire for his ultimate success.
Does the Gazette make this prediction and
express this hope after seeing the high bic
Mr.. Cook has made in answer to the inter
rogations of the locofoco members?
If that paper has seen or heard the sub
stance Of Mr.. Cooks answer to the eleven
queries, will itteIl us what it III? Bring il
forth to the light Of day. Ya
Did hcagree to ignore the whole question
ofslavsry in his Official conduct, should he
be elected?
Did he agree to vote for the admission Of
Kansas into the Union wuh slavery? 50
Did he agree to obey Instructions from
Locofoco Legislatures, should they be elect
ed! ~~.e..s
And did he as last bid for the seven dem
ocrats, agree to come out locofoco in full
feather should that party succeed in elect
ing . majority Of the next general assembly !?
And as the Gazette still expresses an abid-
ing confidence in his future success, will that
paper inform US what further pledges Mr..
Cook proposes to make to secure the votes Of
the other locofoco members?

c. The Keokuk ssDispatch'' very proper
~ speaks out in condemnation Of the bargair
and sale which has been effected between Mr.
Browning and his six companions, and a ma.
jority OF the Democrats Of the Lcgislature
He very properly warns them of the odiuu
that will always follow such palpable cor
ruption, and urges his party to hold fast tc
their integrity and scorn 90 base course
But ct the latter end Of his article he SAYS
the bargain was that the Democrats were to
have only two Judges, while the other party
was to have the Senator, much more i'm
portant Office. Thus indicating that, il his
opinion, the bargain was . bad one, and
should be broken Oh. he thus leaves Us in
doubt whether We are indebted to his virtue
and principle for this condemnation of his
friends or have it simply because he thinks
they made : very bad bargain.

Rarv spsss-- Skating NlaNA-Madissa ahead.
The skating match announced to take
place this morning, came Of in best style.
The weather was Beautiful the sky serene and
clouldless, and ice in the best possible con-
dition. The distance Of one-half mile and
back, making o. course of one mile, was
measured with chain and was accurate.
The track down and back was divided by
bushes stuck in the ice. The purse suspend
cd on pole ct the starting point, to be seized
/ by the skater who came out ahead. The
wind was partially on their backs going out
and quarterly in their face on their return,
but was light, not sufficient to materially aid
or impede their progress. The purse was
ten dollars, with the following entries:
VIM. Pynoheon, D.. NJ. Glasben, George
Stofer, Alder Hendricks, S. F. McIIugh, J.
Cambell, A Glascott, Bill Clark and G. H.
Billings. AZ
The start was a fair one, made ut the tap
Of the drum. The skaters got off in good
style. They were all graceful and easy GO
ers, but it was soon evident that some lacked
wind and bottom. On the first quarter two
wheeled of and took the back track, and one
went down, another soon after dropped of
so that but four turned the half mile post,
and in the act of turning one more and as
good skater as was on the ice went under,
leaving the homo stretch to the best of three.
It soon narrowed down to two, Bill Clark
and George Storer, who came down in fine
style within ten feet Of each other. The
Drum sounded, cheera assembled from the
vast crowd, the purse hung in reach the skat-
ers in heat and painting, and making each
step in perfect ease-the scene was exciting
beyond description, CLARK wheeled in ahead,
passed undo, the pole, and took the purse,
falling As he turned.
The distance was made in 1855, which we
believe is the BEST time on record. We re-
member no match of the New York Club in
which better time was made than 2:06.
A shake purse Of SIS 90 was afterwards pu,
up and skated for, Hendricks raking down
the pile in about the same time.
A large number of our citizens, in number
not less than 1000 or 1900, including large
number of ladies, were spectators of the
match, which was on all hands, conceded to
be the finest peice of sport witnessed in ma
ny . day. We trust for frequent repeti-
ton Of the affair Madison Dem.

Runaway CAucHT.-A negro boy be-
longing to Mr.. H. A. Turner Runaway few
DAYS since, and was apprehended in Mon
roe county, some ten miles North of Paris.
He says he got directions from an old negro
man near Middle Grove, as to his route. -
Some valuable information was elected from
the boy, after his return. He and another
negro robbed the house of Mr.. Carmen, and
had agreed upon time to start for Canada,
but the robbery thwarted their movements
The two gave good deal of information as
TO the proceedings of the slaves about here
and rome of their white associates, which
will be made proper use of. Let the
guilty beware how they associate and traf-
fic with negroes. 1t will not be tolerated
longer, now that a clue to their doing is dis
covered.

Release Of the State Lien.


From long article On the subject Of the
release Of the State Lien, In The Hannibal
Messenger, we take the following extracts.
If the Legislature, at its extra session, soon
to convene, will put the matter in shape to
be submitted to the people, next summer,
when our general election takes place, full
instructions will then.be given to the body
that will meet year hence. The Messen-
ger says:--
"But 10 meet the question we say, let the
works stop for time, rather than to involve
the State in debt which she cannot pay,
without heavy oppression, Iaralyzing the
energies Of her people, in order to save in
dividuals, who are TO reap the advantages
of the roads when completed.
"The companies, with what aid they have
received, and with such other aid as the
State may give hereafter, and with the means
which they have within themselves, can
we confidently believe, complete their roads
in reasonable time, without the perpetra-
ton of this act of injustice TO the people Of
the State.
ave are, and ever have been, willing to
extend 10 internal improvements all the aid
consistent with safety. We are willing to
60 to the utmost verge of safety; but as there
is point within the precincts of reason, be-
You'd which individuals should not 60, in
the management Of of their private concern,
so also the State should not plunge herself
into debt beyond her ability 10 pay. nor give
up security already obtained, the surrender
of which amounts TO about the same thing.
If the Legislature follows what seem tc
us TO be the teaching of wisdom and pru.
dence, it will lei. the present lien remain a.
it is; and if, when the body meets in 1856
and 1857, it is believed that the State car
safely do something further for the compa.
MES, let it be done.
The Hannibal and St. Joseph Company
has not received any greater aid than the
other companies, and yet that C mpany doe,
not ask for any additional aid, nor for tn,
release of the lien, and if it did, its petition
ought not TO be granted. Gentlemen may
write and speak very eloquently about thu
beneficial effects Of roads, so might mar
with one thousand dollars in his poke
pledged to particular purpose, talk mos
beautifully, and reasonably too, about whn
he could make if he had five thousand more
and could spare its use for a nxlnber O
years.
AS individuals should keep within thei
means, so should the State, and thus avoiv
the calamities OF heavy public debt, 1t i
certainly better 10 proceed slowly but surel
with our system Of internal improvements
thar to plunge eur pleople into labyrinths @
trouble and embarrassment, and thus enslav
them for years, or drive them to repudia
ton.
To release this lien from the property @
the companies, will be to transfer it to tn
property Of the people, and make it mort
gage on the lands and other taxable proper
ty of every NAH in the State-a mortgage
be foreclosed by selling the property fo
, taxes in case Of failure to pay them. LIE
TIA. people consider the subject we'll and in
Y struct their representatives TO pote again'
! the removal of the Sale lien.

Kansa. gongressional Election.

The Kansas Congressional Election takes
place On the first Monday in next month, be-
ing the first day.
Gen. Whitfield is the candidate Of the
pro-slavery party, and is running on the
slavery question alone.
Mr.. Geo. w. Perkins, a national demo-
crat--a Virginian--a slave holder--and
lawyer of some distinction in Virginia, say
his eulogists) is also candidate, :unning
on the principles of the Nebraska Act
He regards slavery as legally existing in
the Territory-but looks upon it Gas mere
question of dollars and cents TO the people
a mere question of economy in labor"-"but
when the time comes, if the people deter
mine to abolish slavery in Kansas, he belize
we'd it the highest duty Of the citizen and
democrat to acquiesce in the will of the pco-
pie, tipoh that subject as wei! as any other. "
Mr.. Perkins is supported by the "Kansas
Territorial Register" new National dem
ocratic Pierce paper, recently started in
Leatenwotth. National Pierce democracy
is evidently counting the Free State Party
in KANSAS, Perkins ard Whitfield are can
wasting the Territory.
fhe Free State Party have determined
to take no hand in the election, bat are to
hold an election one week later, when they
propose to choose d delegate, and bring the
subject before Congress, relying on the free
soil strength in that body to back them.
The course the Free State Party have a
dopted, will give their strength in the Ter
ritory, which will be useful in many re-
spects.
