eT The St. Louis Leader, tho CHIEF
Buchanan paper of Missouri, is very indls-
nant at the "cork legged" Democracy OF 1.-THE
North for opposing the admission OF Kan
sas with her bogus Constitution, and says
"the objection to the Constitution is purely
factious, and has no other object in view
than to keep up mischievous agitation"
The stcork-legged" organs in this State,
would do we'll to mako o note of this. q
~ Hon. W. A. RICHARDSON, Of Illinois,
has been confirmed by the Senate rs Gov
ernor of Nebraska. 1t is not, as yet known
whether he will accept the appointment, or
decline to be thus rewarded for his services
in engineering the Nebraska Bill through
the lower branch of Congress. He has here
tofore pcremptorily refused to be satisfied
with fourteenth rate apointment-he has
rated his services higher--and insisted upon
something more than ssmess of pottage."

For the Nonparel.
Mr. EDITOR A few weeks since, you made some
enquiry about the result Of the action in relation liz
cense as voted on the election which drew on.
no explanation have seen. ! would like to know
something about it from those whose right is to know
and let others know. AyOTER.
We know not the result Of the election on
the License question. But, if ga Voters
will refer to the published proceedings ofthe
Common Council, he will find, that ut the
last meeting of that body, the City Recorder
was directed to draw an ordinance to regu-
late Grocery license in the City. We pre-
sumo this has reference to the sale of liquor,
and therefore conclude that the License Law
is now in force.
! c. In imitation Of the "Jack Sheppard"
papers of New York, and as an in
ducement to subscribers, Western pa
per-the usual definite locality-thus dis
courses-"We shall probably commence
the publication of the "Acts of the
Apostles" in few weeks, Gas soon as we
procure a copy Now is the time to send
in the subscribers. Extra copies can be
furnished those who desire to secure tins
excellent story. City papers desiring to Sc
cure this rare publication, will receive an
exchange by inserting this notice six times,
and sending US marked copies of their pa
pers containing it."
CVOn the oath inst, Dame Fortune be-
slowed her smiles and frowns among her
votaries hereabouts. Yesterday, instead of
the usual salutations of "fne day." when
parties NETT was "what did you draw"
usually followed by the answer-"sixty-cent
gold ring" with perceptible disappointment
depicted upon the face of the speaker. "si1-
ty- cent gold rings" are all the rage now.
CO The section of country about Ser
geant's Bluff seems to have experienced some
cold weather already, as we learn from the
Independent, of the 18th inst, that teams
crossed the Missouri river at that place, du-
ring the week previous. za.s~s
CT Upon repairing to the Post Office yes
terday morning, we found in our possession
neat white envelope, with the superscrip-
tion-"Editor Nonpareil." Upon an in
spection of the contents aforesaid, we dis
covered that ourself and "better half'' were
invited to be present at the Dedication of
the Crescent City Hall, Christmas Evening.
Although unable to be present, We trust a
goodly company assembled, enjoyed them
selves fclicitiously, and did honor to the
occasion and the time.
CO There must be a cold blooded set of
fellows about Cairo, ILL.,, as vide the follow
ing from the Delta. ga man unknown, fell
overheard from the Southernor, while she
was laying at the landing, last Sunday morn
ing, and was drowned. 1t is said he rose
once, but some One-accidentally, we pre-
sume-let fall q chunk Of wood upon his
head, and he rose no more" Rather cool
talk for IN editor.
~The N. Y. Herald, with owl-like wis
dom has taken to prophecying. Whatever
poinions may be held by the masses in regard
to the political consistency of the Herald, all
must agree that it is farsightcd and sagacious
in its conclusions. In treating of the defeat
of Mayor WooD, in New York, in concludes
that this is the beginning Of q general bolt
from the Northern Democratic party, and
predicts general fusion of all the anti-ad-
ministration forces. 1t says-ssMake Kan
sas Slave State, by any process whatsoever,
and the Northern Democracy are annihilated;
make Kansas Free State, upon the fairest
possible terms, and the Southern fre-eating
wing Of the Democracy fly of at o tangent
into open rebellion. In either event tho
South will be borne down in 1860 BY the
pressure Of the North, and a North
ern administration will succeed in power"
