~ THE Fl MADISON PLAlNDEALER, a dem
ocratic paper, exhibits degree of fairness in
discussing the merits of the New Constitution,
which is quite refreshing by contrast. 1t pre-
sents the document in full to its readers, and
desires each to Judge for himself, after careful
perusal, without being prejudiced pro or con by
any thing written by the editor. Wonder if
any of the papers opposing its adoption have
presented the document to their readers? Why
does not the Gazette publish il!

would kill an abolitionist before the sun should
set. To make good his word he left town
shortly afterwards, in pursuit of an innocent,
inoffensive cmigrant, named Hoppe, who few
hours before, had passed through the place on
his way to the interior of the Territory. He
overlook the unsuspecting traveller, shot him
down in cold blood, without word of provo.
cation. scalped him, and galloped back to town,
brandishiug the bloody trophy, as an evidence
of the execution of his contract, and claimed
the boots which he had wagered.
