WIscoNslN.--The legislature of Wiscon-
sin has, at length, recognized Gov. Bashford
as the duly-eected governor of the state.--
Mr. Blshtord was tn, candidate of the uni
ted American and republican parties, and OBJ,
tanned majority of the popular vote, al
though the democrats carried the legislature.
There were allegations of fraud on both sides,
but, with the sanction of the legisla ture,
BArstow assumed the Office of governor
Bashford then obtained writ of quo lUar-
rantO against him, and after careful inves-
tigation before the supreme court, that tribu-
nal declared that BAshford was fairly elected.
Blrstow then resigned his office, handing the
reinS OF government over to Lieut.. Gov. Nc
Arthur. The latter refused to vacate the
office in favor of Blshford, but he seems to
have thought better of this determination,
and now we learn that not only has the leg
islature recognized Gov. Blshlord as COVER
nor but Macarthur has also consented TO act
as lieutenant governor. Thus an atflir that
threatened anarchy in Wisconsin, has been
peacefully settled; the authority Of the courts
has been vindicated and the will of the peo-
pie, as manifested by the decided majority
given to Bashford, in spite Of frauds on the
other side, has been fairly carried out Phil.

ELoQUENcE.-The following passage is from
the speech of Hon. John A. Bingham, of this
state. 1t is said to have produced thrill
ling effect upon the house. We can we'll
conceive that it would do this. The records
of parliamentary eloquence in this country
furnish few finer passages. Mr.. Bingham is
speaking of the bloody CODE oc Kansas
Ay, sir, congress is to abide by this statute
which m axes it felony for a citizen to utter
or publish in that territory L" anything cdlCu
lated to induce slaves to escape from the SER
vice of their masters Hence it would BE-
felony there to utter the strong words of Al
gernon Sydney" Resistance to tyran IS is
obedience to God" felony to say with JEFF
ferson, " have sworn upon the alter of my
God eternal hostility to tyranny in every form
over the mind and body of man." felony to
utter there in the hearing Of slave, upon
American soil, beneath the American flag, the
words of fame which shook the stormy soul
of Henry, ''Give me- liberty, or give me-
death" felony to read in the hearing of one
OF those fettered bondm4n the words of the
declaration, Gall men are born free and
equal, and endowed BY their Creator with the
inalienable rights of life and liberty;' fel-
ony to utter those other words, blazing in let
ters of living light on the great written char

fight; felony to shelter the housaless, to
clothe the naked, to- feed the hungry, and to

the name of our Master. Oh, sir, before you
hold this enactm ent bin ling on an Am erican
congress, tear down that banner of freedom
which floats above US, for stirring reminis-
cences linger in its folds, and the stars upon
its Fl I'D of azure have CLEANED upon the field
of "poised battle,' where the earthquake and
the fire led the charge, and where American
virtue and American valor maintained the
unequal conflict against the mighty power
of British tyranny and oppression. B!fore
you hold this enactment to be law, burn our
Immortal declaration and our Rewritten

penetrate the human soul, and put out the
light of that understanding which the breath

SLAVES FOR KANsAs.-On Friday last a
steamer arrived at st. Louis from Louisville,
with between fifty and sixty slaves, belong

Kentucky to Kansas. The slaves consist of
parsons of all ages, sexes and shades of color,
aud the st. Louis News says they were well
also saws that since the opening of the river,
full five hundred slaves have passed from
the Ohio for Kansas. Almost every boat that
has started up the Missouri river since the
opening Of the river, has taken up large or
smaller number. The slaves are in almost
every case taken in the cabin.

PROFITS OF FRUIT GRowING.-At the recent
meeting Of the truit-growers Of western New
York, held at Rochester, it was the univer-
sal testimony, that the product Of apples is
ed in that section. Sveral testified to the
realiza ton Of from $l00 to s. 80 per acre for
apples. A gentleman from OSwego said that
it was the estimate of the fruit committee in
that county, that one'acre devoted to fruit
was equal to twelve with any other crop.

The HIAwATHA MANIA.--Proiessor Long
fellow hit on the richest of all veins Of gold
when he wrote the Song Of lliawatha. -
The rarity of the m 'asure, the novelty Of the
subject, the beauties of the poetry, the fear
full difficulties of the Indian names, and the
remarkable facility of imitation. set the
whole nation talking about it. There was
never anything so easy to parody, and good
parody is known to b. much more valuable
to an author than a good puff. A poem
that can stand the test Of rlicule can safely
risk the test of sober criticism, and poem
that can create controversy is sure to have
great sale. 1t is stated that over thirty
thousand copies Of the "Song Of Hiawatha'
have been sold already and this is quite up
to the sale Of Uncle Toms Cabin during a
like period of tim,. The profits Of such a
sale must console the author for all that he
has suffered from the pens Of parodists and
critics. He can afford to be accused Of pa,

Colonel Fremont has at length 70. Lis great Massiposa estate fuily c0nkrased b hun, asd Il he can succeed in taking possession of is. may b~ re- garded as one Of the richest men living. The patent vas signed by hesPresiden, last week .and delivered v him at the White House to Goionei Fremont h person Patents are now generally signed by ihe Private Secretary of the President who IS thereunto authorized by an act Of Congress hut General Pierce signed this one with his own hand. The instrument IS eHgrossed uppn parch- ment, and covers twelve sheets, including, on a large sheet of parchment, finely map of Las Marriposas, as surveyed by the United States Surveyor General.
 The tract is upwards of seventy square miles in extent, and is siaeated sbeut two hundred and twenty-five miles from San Francisco, in an east erly direction It embraces the town of Marriposas containing from three to four thousand inhabitants, and number of other small towns and settle ments and Il Is estimated that there are upw ards of fifteen thousand people now on the estate. Col. Fremont bought this land on the 10th of May, is46 of Alvarado. ex-Governor of Calfor- mia, for three thousand dollars, in cash. and at | the time the old Caifornians laughed at it as a very extravagant price. After long litigation, his title has been fully confirmed by the Supreme Court at Washington.
 | Of the value of Col Fremont's grant it is im- possible to speak with defni,eness, it is, appar- emily, almost beyond calculation. Messrs Palm CT, Cook & Co, bankers of San Francisco, who have advanced heavily to pay the taxes upon it, 1 and to delray the enormous expenses of the suit, own undivided half interest in the property. Col. Fremont alone owns the other half.
 l Already about thirty-fve millions worth of gold dust have been taken from the tract, and the per centage of earth which has yet been worked, even imperiectly, is exceedingly small, This is owing to the scant supply of water to be found on the tract. and canal is projected, at a cost of $500, 900. to supply the deficiency. When this is completed. the revenue to De derived from the es- tate will amount to many millions per annnm.

The Missing Pacific.

The steamer America, which arrived last week, brings not sFord of tidings from the absent PAc1F1o-but hope is still strong that she will yet return to gladden. the hearts of g nation. The Pacific was Of 2 structure admira- bly, qualified to contend with all the casualties to which ocean steamers are exposed, and she was under the command of an experienced sai- Tor, Captain Asa Eldridge, who has navigated the Atlantic with the most responsible com mands for nearly quarter of 8 century. She left Liverpool January 2Sd, and is therefore forty-tx days out to-day. That is long, as compared with an average trip of steamer, but not long if she has met with any accident to cripple her sailing capabilities. Every one remembers the concern felt for the Atlantic some five years ago, when she failed to make her time she was given up by the most san guine She left Liverpool. December 2s, 1851, and not lisp of intelligence of her reached her owners for .fony-nine d0w. She went ashore on the coast of Ireland, and her passengers themselves brought the news of her safety by the Africa she was missing seven days long CT than the Pacific has been missing, and ye, she and her passengers were all safe Her fate is full of encouragement to us to hope that the Pacific will yet make her appearance with hel precious freight ..t. -.
