GOOD. NATURED LANDLoRD.-' Old Dam
was the familiar title by which was generally
known the eccentric landlord of the hotel in
Lowville, n. Y. He was good, easy soul
honest and unsuspicioas- preferring to be
cheated once i'll a while, rather than be al
ways looking out for rogues. Hence it was
not very hard matter to impose on him, and
many were the bad bills with which he was
F." stuck in the way OF trade, by his travel
ling customers. Indeed, he would take al
most anything that was offered him in the
shape of bill, saying that " bad money was
about as good as any, and somehow it wouldn't
stay in lis pocket"
Once. however, he took V, which stuck
to him like plaster. The more he tried to
get rid Of it., the more he couldn't. He had
paid it out several times, but it came back as
often, returned as "bogus." At length, a
traveller, with whom he was acquainted,
stopped for dinner, on his way to Utica, and
it occurred to Old Dan that his bill might
Ego" down there, and stepping into the
dining-rOom with it, handed it to his guest
asking him to put II off " OH the first old
fool he met" and he would allow him ONE
half the amount. The guest took it and pro-
missed to do as we'll with it as he could, and
account for it on his return. On his way
back from Utica, he called, and Old Dan
asked him where he had paid out the bill, as
he had got it again, but could not for the life
OF him tell where it had come from.
Why" said the friend, "you told me to
put it OFF on the first old fool | saw, and so /
paid you for my dinner with it,"
The old fellow acknowledged himself sold,
and after paying his guest the half, according
to promise, and giving him his dinner be.

Imporlan. News from Knn.n,

The New York papers of yesterday, con-
tain full detailsl of intelligence from Kansas,
including the message of Gov. Robinson, and
other proceedings of the Free State Legis-
lature. 1t says:
The Inauguration of the new Free Stale
government was quietly accomplished on the
4th instant. Charles Robinson was sworn in
as Governor, and w. Y. Roberts took the oath
as Lieut.. Governor of the State. The legsla-
ture was duly organized; Lieut.. Governor
Roberts presiding in the Senate, and L. A.
Minard being elected Speaker of the House.
Governor Robinson delivered brief inaugu-
raj address upon taking the oath Of office, and
afterwards sent in his first message. The Gov
ernor takes strong ground in opposition to the
President, whose special message and procla-
nation in reference to The affairs OF Kanzas,
are discussed critically and fearlessly. He ex-
poses the hollowness of the pretence that the
nets OF the bogus territorial legislature were
binding upon the people of Kanzas and ami
madverts upon the Presidents declaration
that a regularly organized resistance to the
DEGREES of that body, would be an act of trea-
son. Facts and presidents are cited in the
Message, to show that the people of Kanzas
are wholly justified in the course they have
seen fit to PURSUE and that the Free State
movement, is not, as the President asserts, a
mere party movement, but that all parties in
the State united in the formation of the Com
stitution under which the new State organ
ization has been effected. There are several
sharp passages in this message, but the docu-
ment is generally courteous in tone and lucid
in its argument. The Governor distinctly
says, that orders have been received by the
federal officers in Kanzas, to arrest the State
authorities, and the members of the legisla-
ture, upon charge of treason but in an
nouncing this fact, he cautions the legislature
against instant resistance, recommending that
"no finger be raised against the federal au-
thority until there shall be no hope OF relief
but in revolution"
The event of the birth of new Free State,
has thus been peacefully accomplished. The
result of this act of the people of the State
remains to be developed.

MAPLE SueAR.-The season for the manu-.
facture Of this toothsome saccharine is now
at hand, and the crop, though we believe it
will fall short Of last year, still will be one of
much importance. The produce of these
trees realized, in 1855, some two and half
millions of dollars, and il sugar and molasses
increase in value, as they have and may, the
farmers OF New England will give more at
tention to the growing of naples and the
making of sugar. better substitute. how
ever, for the cane, but one which requires
more capital, labor and skill, is the sugar
beet, that is so extensively cultivated in
France. The Mormons have gone into the
business extensively. They have the best
qualities of roots, with the mills and reiincries
needed, and will SOON supply themselves with
all the sweets they need.

A DEAD MAN COME TO LIFE.-The Travel-
Ter tells of an Irishman who was laid out in
Hanover street, on Saturday, on the SUPPOSE
tion that he was dead. The Overseer of the
Poor of the ward was applied to for a coffin at
the expense of the city, and having obtained
from the applicants the time and cause of
death. age, residence, names of parents, time
and place of burial of deceased he flied out
one of the usual blanks, signed it, and sent it
with the applicants to the City Registrar, ae-
companied with an order for the coffin. On
carrying this grave article of furniture to the
house, the supposed dead man was found
sitting up in bed, with woman (his wife) in
chair, at his side, greeted his eyes. 1t ap
peared on explanation, that after the funeral
arrangements had all been made. the dying
man suddenly revived and began to grow bet
ter very fast, with some prospect Of uiti mate
recovery, so that all the preparations for a
wake and funeral were hastily Abandoned.

THE RleHT KIND OF AMERlcANIsM.-The

Editorial Correspondence OF the N. Y Tribune
WASHINGTON, Wednesday, March 10.
Our friends elsewhere can hardly realize
how great is the triumph won for Free Kan

In speech OF commanding power, full of the
spirit of light and liberty. In clearness of
statement and felicity OF language, it has not
been surpassed tLis session. Then the Eonse
proceeded to vote under the previous ques.
ton, and successfully decided not to re com
init, with instructions against going behind
the acts of the pretended Legislature of Kan

yidIng for sending a Commission of two
Southern lawyers to Kansas, not to lay on the
table, not to hold on to the Committees orgi-
nal proposition, but to substitute Mr.. Dunn's
therefor and finally passed this substituted
proposition by one hundred and one to ninety
taoo.
Mr.. Hickman, in his speech, and Israel
Washburn atterward, had ASKED the friends
OF Kansas to sustain Mr.. Dunn's proposition,
aud themselves and all their associates in the
majority of the Election Committee, voted
accordingly; while those who would enslave
Kansas, voted the other way.
The Committee would have reported pro-
position like Mr.. Dunn's, but dare not ask so
much power.
The majority of all the votes taken to day,
comprised all the Banks members now in
Washington, with Messrs. Dunn and Scott
of Indiana, Moore and Scott Harrison of
OHIO, Barclay, Hickman, and Millward of
Pennsylvania. and award Clarke, Haven and
