Our Legislature.

We spent q few days last week at Augusta.
Before We left, which was on Saturday, the
politicians Of the bunker and Wild Cat
stamp had commenced congrcgating at the
Public Houses, and VIC learn by gentleman
from that place, that the "patriots" who
were willing to serve their country for pay,
were unusually numerous. We understood
while there that the programme was all
mapped out by the leaders Of the Democrats
and Strait Whigs,-so far as the filling Of
the Offices were conccrned,-and reads some
thing after this sort. Wells, was to be Gov
ernor, Hon. Gould Butler, President Of Sem
ate, Hon. j. S. Little, Strait Wing, Speaker
Of the House; Reed was to be made Treas
urer, though Amos NJ. Roberts and the
Easton Bank claimed the Office. James
Walker, whilhom Of Lowell, now Of no par
ticular place, but up for "Cowes and n
Market" was to DO land Agent, il not head

any number Of applicants. For Secretary
Of State, some half dozen candidates, C..
r. Aver, of our County among them. The
winning one we think will bc Daniel Pike,
formerly editor of the Age, liberal to the
back bone, but otherwise good fellow and
well qualified. For Secretary of the Senate,
and Clerk Of the House, there was an assort-
ment of candidates.

TIE KANSAS COMPROMISE. Compromises
are the order of the day. Everything is now
settled by compromise and it is not remark

pie objected. At length DR.. Robinson pro-

PUBIC FEELING ~ ENGLAND TOWARDS
ANERIcA.-The London correspondent Of the
New York Courier writes that public feeling
in England towards America is exceedingly
friendly since the recent war bubble burst
He says:
An incident of considerable significance,
rs eyincing the genuine feeling Of the most
influential and respectable of thcpopulation
Of London towards the United States, oc-
curing ut Guildhall on Tuesday last, ut the
visit of the King Of Sardinia to the city
When Mr.. Buchanan was announced, he
was received with loud, enthusiastic cheer
ing, which lasted for some time. This out
burst of popular favor was 10 decided as to
command the attention of every person in
that vast concoursc. II was 40 marked in
deed, that even those public journals which
systematically treat America and Americans
with GOODNESS and indifference, could not
fail to speak of it.
