A WEE BIT OF HIsToRY.-At night session
of the Territorial Legislature, August 30, 1855,
Mr.. Anderson, Of the House, offered the follow
ing prsambles and resolution, which passed their
several readings, under suspension of the rules,
and was unanimously agreed to. 1t was also
adopted by the Council, and thus became the
lao of the Territory, having passed through all
the legal forms:
"WHEREAs, The signs of the times indicate
that measure is now on foot, fraught with more
danger to the interest of the pro slavery party
and to the Union, than any which has been agi-
tated, to-wit: The proposition to organize a No
tiondI Democratic party; and
"WHEREAs, Some of our friends have been
misled by it; and
"WHEREAs, The result will be to divide pro.
slavery Wings from Democrats, thus weakening
our party one-half; and
"WHEREAs, We believe that on the success
of our party depends the perpetuity Ofthe Union
therefore
Be Il ResOlUed, By the House of Representa-
tives, the Council concurring therein, that it is
the duty Of the prO-slavery party, Union loving
men of Kansas Territory, to know but one issue,
slavery, and that any party making or attempt
ing to make any other, is and should be held as
an ally of Abolitionism and Disunionism."
1t is well t., observe that the aboEe preamble
and resolution was not adopted in a caucus Of
the members of the Legislature, but was the Of
fetal action of that body, and is found spread
upon the House Records for 1855, page $780,

ANOTHER LooPHoLE FOR Mas. CUNNINGHAM
Law is one Of the exact sciences, and requires
mathematical gertrude in each Of the steps Of a
proceeding before it imposes a disqualification
OF penalty. Mrs. Cunningham, by the hasty
proceeding Of the district attorney, has not only
the advantage which is supposed to arise from
not having fully consummated the crime which
she had intended, but she has also chance Of
escape through another loophole, left open by
the premature proceeding. 1t IS commended by
the legal profession that Mrs. Cunningham
would not come within the statute against palm
ing of supPositio1s heir to property, unlessit
is decided in the Surogate's Court, that she's
actually the wife Of Dr.. BurdeIl. In the words
of the statute it is essential to the crime, that
the child frauduleutly produced, should be pro-
duced Gas the child Of parents, whose child
would be entitled to inherit" If Mrs. Gun
ningham was not married to DR.. Burdell, the
child produced, supposing it to have been her
own, could not legitimately be the heir Of the
deceased, and therefore the PRESERVATION does
not fall within the terms Of the statute, which
calls for the personation of an infant born of
parents whose child IcouId be entitled TO inher-
it, hiladeIpkie LEDGER.

KANSAS LosT,--H It seems 10 be generally con.
coded, says the Camden Journal, that Kansas is
or viii be lost to the South, and that all the sac
rihce of blood and treasure so freely expended,
in the hope Of making herrich valleys and plains
tributary to Southern prosperity and equality in
the Union, has proven hOpelessly abortive. Why
is this sol Who is to blame for this sudden and
disastrous turn in the fortunes and affairs Of the
Ssuthl Nobody Of course. Who placed Walk.
er at the head Of affairs in Kansas, at time,
when, above all others, unEavering fidelity TO
the Constitution and the rights Of the South re-
quired man who was not only equal to the emer-
gency, but who had political honesty enough TO
do what was right, regardless Of consequence

STEALING WATER-MELoNs.

A man in country town took great pleasure
in having neat garden. He had all kinds of
vegetables and fruits earlier than his neighbors.
But thieving boys in the. neighborhood annoyed
him; damaged his trees, trampled down his flow
ers, and hooked his. choicN fruits. He tried
various ways to protect his grounds and his watch
dogs were poisoned; and his set traps caught
nothing but his best fowls and most favorite cat.
One afternoon however just as night fell, he
overheard a couple Of mischievous boys talking
together, when one Of them said:
"whst do you say, Joel Shall we come the
grab game over old swipes on them melons to-
night Old swipes will be snoring like ten men
before twelve o'clock"
The other objected because there was q high
wall to get over.
"oh pshaw" was the reply; " know place
where We can get over just as easy-know it
like book. Come Joe, let's go it,"
The owner Of the patch didn't like the idea
Of being eavesdropper; but the conversation 90
intimately concerned his melons which he had
taken GO much pains to raise, that he kept still
HAd listened to the plans of the young scape-
graces so that he might make it somewhat both
ersome for them.
Nedproposed 10 get over the rill on the north
side Of thehease By the greatpear tree, and cut
right across 10 the summer house, just north Of
which were the melons.
Now hear the owners story.
"Imade all needful preparations for the WIS.,
IT. put in brads pretty thick in the scanting along
the wall where they intended to get over; un-
covered large water vat that had been filed
for some time from which in dry weather was
accustomed to water my garden; dug trench a
foot deep or 30 and placed slender boards ever
il which were slightly covered with dirt, and Just
beyond them some little cords fastened tightly,
some eight inches from the ground. picked
all the melons cared to preserve, leaving pump
kins and squasAes, about the same size and shape
Of melons, in their places.
The boys were quite right in supposing it
would be dark; but they missed little in infer
ring that "old Svipes as they call him would be
Yin bed" The old man liked little fun as well
as they did, and when they came near his hiding
place he listened:
"Whist Joe! don't yOa hear sOmething1"
think that it was very probable they did, for
hardly we're the words uttered than there came
forcible tearing Of fustian.
Get OF my coat tailn' whispered Joe
There goes one Zap, sure as gun. Why get
of Ned"
And Of Ned was, and one leg of his breaches
besides, and then he was ah,ing and ching, and
telling Joe that he believed there were nails in
The side Of the waH, for something had scratched
him tremendously, and torn his brooches all to
Joe synpathized with him, for he said half bis
coat tail was up there somewhere
