taken high national grounds and ADOPT
ed very conservative resolutions.
The so-called Territorial Legislature
continues its session at Lecompton. Not
much business done except to discuss
and denounce the message of the COVER
nor, delivered to that notorious concern
few days since. The spirit of the doc
ument does not give universal satisfac-
ton, and the suggestions of the execu-
tive, in reference to the repeal Of certain
obnoxious statutes, are treated with con-
tempt by the International Democrats
of Kansas. The more conservative men
look on it as just the thing for the times.
and consider its advice with favor.
A Good Beginning.
The Madison Patriot, democratic iour.
nal, congratulates the people on the good
beginning made BY the Republican Leg
islature. 1t says:
"More has been done during the first
three days than ever before during the
first two weeks since we have had any
knowledge of Wisconsin Legislation
Thiswe regard as afavorable omen. Now,
if the Legislature will avoid the other ex
IRENE, and.not perpetrate any injudicious
ha ty legislation, in matters of great
public Importance, they will be enabled
TO adjourn in four weeks with well earned
laurels.
Usually, it takes the first week of the
session to quarrel about and settle the
"Praying" question. But this time,
three hours has heen sufficient-fve min
ntes would be amlle time, but we have
had such an improvement on the past,
that we won't complain. Heretofore,
the second week has been devoted to
buncombe speeches and resolutions rela-
tive to Newspapers. This time, half an
hour was sufficient. Usually, il has ia
ken several days to perfect an organiza-
ton, adopt "rules," DE. The second
half day has proved sufficient for this.
We are pleased to notice a DISPOSE
ton to Immediately dispose of those
thouSand-and-one cases OF purely local
legislation, which generally absorbs a
great share of the session.
The usual mania for speech making
is less manifest than usual This is a
glorious reform. Very few subjects are
likely to arise in a State Legislature,
thlt require prolonged discussion
The price of a dozen or two ''set speech
es" on every little proposition, that ought
to be settled instanter, without word,
has been an intolerable bore, as well as a
useless waste of time, money and temper.
The senatorship
The excitement created by the unex-
pected result of the U. S. Senatorship
election, has not materially abated att
Harrisburg. Indeed it has been, in some
respects, aggravated by the insane con
duct of the defeated infuriates. The
extravagant and vulgar vituperation of
the Keystone Club meeting in this city |
has also had its effect, and has confirmed |
the majority in their convictions that they
have done right in defeating the nomi-
nee ofMr. Buchanan and the Democratic
caucus threats of violence, from the Kew
stone Club, as well as from some of the |
hangers-on at Harrisburg, were made
against the Democratic members who
voted for Gen. Cameron, land such threats
against one OF them went so far, that he
quietly procured a six barrel revolver
pistol, loaded it, and placed it in his
breast, since which time he had been en-
tirely unmolested. 1t is said to have
been astonishing to see how quickly fury
was Gained down by this evidence OF
determination and preparation for an
emergency, on the part of the gentleman
in question.-H'la. Bulletin 10Th inst
FROSTED FEET.-We hear a general
complaint of frosted feet We have
heard of one or two instances lately
where apprehensions were felt of losing
the feet from this cause. A writer in
the journal Of Commerce recommends
a simple and, he says, etfectual remedy,
which is worth repeating. This RENE
dy which he says will afford immediate
relief, is to heat brick very hot; and
hold the foot over it as closely as it can
be held without burning. Cut an onion
in two, and dipping it repeatedly in salt
rub it all over the feet. Juice of the
onion will be dried into the foot and eff
feet a cure in very short time. If this
is done few times, says the writer, it
is almost certain to cure your feet en-
tirely.
