House cf Representatives, , LttHe Rock, AYk. Dec. 27, '56(

Col. R. II. JOHNSON,
 Dear Sjr-Permit me to say through the columns of your valuable paper, to my constituents, that the bills about which they feel so much interest have passed both Houses of the General Assembly, and will no doubt receive the Executives signiture.
 The bill to aid Vineyard, Cane Hill, and Elenois townships, in Washington county, in preventing the sale of spirituous and vinious liquors in any quantity, whatever, except for mechanical and medicinal purposes, in said townships, has passed and only awaits the Co., vernors signature, (which it will probably re- ceive to-dayD to become the law of the land. Said bill provides, that there shall be an elec- ton held in each of said townships, on the 1st Monday in February, 1857, for the purpose of ascertauing the sense of the legal voters of said townships, touching the sale of spirituous snd vinious liquors, whether the same shall be sold in any of said townships or not, the vote to be taken by ballot with the words endorsed thereon "Sale," or "' no sale" And if the vote shall be in favor of no sale, then the constable of each township so voting shall give notice to each dealer in spirits in his township to desist within five days after said notice, and if after said notice is given, any one proceed to sell li- quors contrary s:o the provision of the act he shall forfeit and pay for the use of common schools the sum of fifty dollars for each sepa- rate offence so committed.
 The bill chartering the Washington County Agricultural and Mechanical Society has also passed both Houses, and said society is allowed all the privileges and immunities generally granted to corporations.
 Several other bills have passed and become laws, but as report is given in your paper of their passage, and as the session will probably soon close, at which time all the laws will be published, therefore desist from troubling you further. Yours with due respect.

DELEGATE FROM KANsAs-Notwithstan ing all the time, gas and treasure expended to defeat Whitfield as delegate from Kansas, he is now securely seated in the national House of Representatives. This, more than every thing else, provesthe justice of the cause of the south. The body who elected the abolition speaker, MT Banks, has been forced to admit w hittield to his seat as delegate from Kansas Territory They busted him last session in a moment of frenzy, and, though he applies again upon the same grounds, he IS now admitted.
 The cry is that the election of Buchanan has settled nothing. His election has certainly set tied this matter, and it involved some of the most exciting questions of the day. The de- mocracy has usht the fanatics of the nation ! salutary lesson. They have yindcated the constitution and taught it's bitterest assalanls to respect and revere it. So much for the tri- umph of Buchanan and democratic principles so much for the patriotic administration of President Pierce
