Hay of 1865 Inferior.

From what has come under our personal
observation, and from accounts Of what has

pose it highly probable that a large prop ~
tion of tho hay made in 1855. is Of inferior
quality. Clover hay seems 60 be more gener-
ally defective in quality than other kinds.

A Coon HrT.-The Washington cores

the following anecdote:
"a good story is told at the expense of
those who protest that Fremont's election will
lead to dsunion. A few evenings since a
company of gentlemen were assembled in this
city at quiet game Of whist. Among the
party was distinguished New York politici
an and several Southern Members of Congress.
The conversation turned on the Presidential
election, and all the horrid train of evils to
follow on Frcmont's election were set forth in
glowing colors. 1t was asserted that his must
necessarily be sectional administration, un-
der which no southern men could or would
take oiiice-thc consequence of which calam-
ity, 1t was voted, must uproot the pillan of

Too MUcH TwIsTINe.--The follies Of
grown people are frequently brought out by
children in startling prominence. Two girls
of twelve or fourteen years passed along Lake
street yesterday, surrounded by hoops and
trailing long dresses over the dirty pavement.
They were novices in the management of such
rigging, but determined to acquire the art or
die in the attempt. "Do twist too much!"

gled along ooh no." said the other, drop

The Pennsylranian, Mr.. Buchanan's spe..
cial organ, announces that the British Gov
eminent stands ready to contribute one hun
dred thousand pounds sterling, to aid in elect
ing the sectional candidate for the Presiden-
cy,. as prelude to the dissolution of the
Union. OF course Mr.. Buchanan's friends
are greatly rejoiccd in view of this promised
assistance. The postmasters are said to be
especially delighted, as the contribution from
England, it is thought, will stop for while
any further demands upon them for money to
aid in the canvass.

GREAT BRIrAIN.-From every part of tho
United Kingdom the harvest reports arc of
favorable character, and but little doubt is
entertained that the general crop will be at
least fair average in quantity and quality.
In Scotland, the crops are very heavy. In
respect to potatoes, there is general concur
renee Of evidence that the crop, though not
entirely free from disease, in some parts of
England, Ireland and Scotland, promises to
be abundant and excellent.
Harvest operations are now fully commcn.

themselves compelled to suspend work for tho

BLACK SEA.-The English war steamer
Gladiator has returned from Isle Of Serpents
to Constantinople, and reports on the Island
20 Turkish soldiers and Russians.
There was no armed seizures Of the Island

only one building, which the Turks and Rus

ted by the former as their guards. The
Gladiator had left again for Black Sea with
new instructions Of more positive nature

SENArE.-Mr. Weller gave notice of his in
tention to introduce bill, to abrogate GER
tain Laws enacted by the Legislature of Kan.

A message was rereived from the House
announcing the death of the Hon. James
Mcacham of Vermont.
Mr.. Foot dwelt with much eloquence on
the learning and public and private useful
ness OF the deceased who was removed hence
at the age of 46 years. He traced him from
the time nc was poor orphan boy in cabi-
net makers shop up to the high position oc-
cupied at the time of his decease.
Mr.. Douglass said he was born in the same
county with Mr.. Meacham, and was acouaint-
ed with him in early life. He bore testimony
to his honesty of purpose and elevated char
acter. The usual resolutions of respect were
adopted. and the Senate adjourned.
HoUsE.-Messrs. Greenwood, Robbins and
Brenton have returned. Mr.. Clingman asked
leave to offer resolution providing that the
Sergcant-at-Ams be directed to arrest and
bring before the bar of the House all such
members as are absent from the city, and

be telegraphed to the capitol of each State,
and published in two papers thereof of the
largest circulation, paying tho expenses of the

Mr.. Campbell, of Ohio, objected on the
ground that the rules of the House afford am

arms in their hands, intercepted them, even
IT they were SO fortunate as to reach the bor-
ders Of Kansas, while pro-Slavery men were
left free to enter. If anything is wanting to
satisfy any man who is desirous of arriving
at the truth, of the deceptive character Of
this bill, think 1t would be found in the
fact, that constitution formed ly a conven-
ton thus elected under the management of
the present Administration is not to be sub
mitted to the people for their APPROVAL
This, l believe, is the first instance when
Constitution for State Government has been
authorized to be formed and rnt in operation
without submission for final ratification to the
vote of tho people, but to do SO in this case
might hazard the interests of Slayery.-
Hence the Constitution is proposed to be
forced upon the people of Kansas without
their approval, and this suppose Mr.. Doug
las and his colleagues would have the people
believe is Democratic, and carrying out the
principles of popular sovereignty.
Who would be so creduous as 10 believe
that if this bill is passed under such circum.
stances there would not be shown to the sat-
lsfaction OF the Government Commissioners
pro- Slavery majority in Kansas on the 4th
day OF July 1856. If this bill should be-
come law, the only hope for Kansas becom-
ing Free State will be in Congress refusing
to admit her with a Slave constitution, OBJ, |
tanned through fraud and violence-and this
ca can only be accomplished by decisive and
iirm expression of the Free Men of the
North.
Then let every elector who believes that
his fine Territory situated in the Geographi-
'al centre of our country should be the home
'f respectable white laborers, instead of be-
ng monopolized by slave-owners, with all its
attending evils, cast his vote in a manner to
,rlng about such result. Slavery or Free
iom must have it. 1t is a falacy to talk
bout joint occupancy by what and slave
ioorers, unless we are willing to degrade
