WARRINGTON, Jan. 10, 1857.
The Democracy have pretty we'll resolved to de-
prive Mr.. Harlan of his seat The debate yester-
day, and other revelations more material demon
strate this purpose. As the Legislatures OF Penn
sylyania and Indiana are TO elect Senator's, under
the same forms which were observed in Harlans
care, they may perhaps profit by the instruction
likely to be afforded through this decision.
Asy yet. the proposed Postal arrangement between
France and the United States has not been com.
pleteS. On the 9th Of December Count Ssrtiges
submitted the pr9ia Of treaty, containing seven
teen articles which has since then been the subject
of several conferences between him and the Post
master-General. In general terms, it proposes to
substitute 10 cents the rate of postage for each
letter of oneQuarter of an ounce, transmitted be-
tween France and Algeria, and the United States
and rice rerse, divided as follows;

CURIOUS TERMINATION OF CRIMINAL
Casa case occurred in one of our Justi-
ce's Courts the other day, which had quite a
romantic termination A young lady resid-
ing at some distance from this village was
arraigned on charge of stealing money
A young man who accompanied her into
Court, inquired of the Justice if there was
no way OF averting the prosecution. On re-
ceiving the answer that the Justice had no
discretion in tee matter, but that if che mon
ey was returned and the costs paid, amount
ing in all to about $l8, the complainant
might possibly not appear against the priso-
ner. A consultation was held between the
young man and the girl, which resulted in
the payment of the money by the former
Another consultation between the two par
ties now took place, after which the young
man whispered something in the ear of the
Justice, who Immediately ordered the con.
to stand up, and proceeded to join them
the bonds of matrimcny. Such an exhibit
ton of true love on the part of the swain is
deserving of the highest CONNIE. xaton, and
merits an extraordinary degree OF communal
felicity but whether his devotion will be
thus rewarded, the future must determine.

Paul and Saltwater will be essentially less
ened in the Convention, or in other word
that they cannot control it.
While we favor as much as any one tn
growth and prosperity of those two flourish
ing cities, we must dissent entirely from I'll
narrow view taken by those who urge eithe
directly or indirectly, such narrow, and
may add, suicidal policy.
If the good people of St. Paul wish
maintain that influence in tbs Territor
which their enterprise and prosperity entit
them to, they must be just to the RS favor
ed portions Of the Territory. The time Wa :
when St. Paul and Saltwater could contr
the legislation Of this Territory, and the
could dictate to the remaining portions
all matters of legislation. But they can d
so no longer, and it seems to me that tn
only wise course for the press of St. Paul
pursue, is to treat that portion of the Teri :
tory outside of st. Paul with some little r
spect if they wish to promote the true int
rests of this portion of the Territory, for
is certain that the country members of IL
Legislature can neither be covered nor dri
on from what they conceive to be lust an
right. =
But again it is urged that our delegatei
Congress has caused more just bill to |
introduced into Congress, and which bill
is said will pass. The bill now pending
Congress, is most unequal and unjust.
virtually DISTINGUISHES the people of porto
of the Territory. For instance, it gives Pen =
bina with not more than one hundred viii
people in it, four delegates in the Conventio
while Olmstead county with at least 9,O(
inhabitants will be entitled to but two. III
same bill proposes to press upon the Poop
a Constitution without even allowing the
to vote upon the question of its ratifcatio
Mr.. Rice's bill fixes the basis of represent
ton, and limits it to double the number
Representatives in the Legislature.
Now it is we'll known to every one that sin
the last apportionment act has passed, Il
southern portion of the Territory has becon
densely populated, and the representation
our Legislature is manifestly unjust Thin
Of Pembina with scarcely enough white me
in it to fill the offices, being entitled to Il
same representation in the Legislature
Fillmore county with her 10000 or 1906
inhabitants.
But the opposition to the bill now pen,
ing in the Legislature Is not owing to IL
injustice Of the bill itself, but it is though
that by depriving the people of the south al
west of the representation to which they al
justly entitled, the chances will be great
procuring north and south division of tt
Territory.
The st. Paul people and the St. Paul pre-
are perfectly justified in advocating the nor
and South division line, but they are not just
fled in opposing just and equal represent
ton in the Convention, nor in attacking GOO
and true men for the purpose of accomplis
ing that object.
