ADVANTAGE OF HAVING THREE WIVES
sprague has escaped punish
ment at Portland, Me-, by being proved
more guilty than he xas charged with ir
the indictment. He was tried by the Su
preme Court for blgamy last week, and
the fact of his having had two wives was
clearly established, when his counsel in
trodueed evidence to prove that he al.
ready had one wife when married to the
other two; and as the indictment was based
upon the assumption that the second mar
rlage was the first and legal marriage, it
1t was held that no bigamy was commit
ted, because Sprague was the legal hus-
band of neither. So he was acquitted.

G1- We hope the result of MONDAYS
election will convince some folks of the
impolicy of running +" Peoples Ticket, y
IN the nomination of which the people have
no voice. To exhibit distrust of the neo-
pie is not exactly the way to win the
peoples confidence; and when ticket
that has been cooked up in secret is thrust
in their faces, they very naturally give
1t the go by. Had the same candidates
that figured on the so-called "People's
Ticket on Monday, been nominated in
public caucus, as they might have been,
we believe they would have been elected
For our own part, having voted for most
of the ticket, on the score of merit, we
feel more free to condemn the manner of
bringing it out. We shall never fail to
rebuke such movements whether they
originate with political friends or foes.-
We feel under no sort of obligation to
support aticket that we have no voice in
forming, and this, in our opinion, is the
way every good Republican and every
good citizen should feel.

Correspondence of the N. Y. Post.
Important from Kansas.


TOPEKA, X. t.. March 12th, 1857.
The Delegate Convention of the Free
State party, which assembled in this
place day before yesterday, to take into
consideration the prospects of the State
organization and Of the freedom of Kan
sas, adjourned late last night. Some
looked for change. of policy, and thought
the convention might agree to go into the
elections with the pro.slavery party un-
der the bogus laws, especially in the elec-
ton of delegates to form another State
Constitution. Geary had used all his in
fuence to secure the election of delegates
who would favor such course, and who
attempted to commit the convention to
an approval Of his course both past and
to be. But in this he signally failed, for
not man raised his voice in his behalf.
The Free State people are not unwilling
to sympathise with him when they deem
his course just and impartial; but as to
approve Of his whole course-his deter
mination to execute laws enacted by a |
foreign people-his approval of the "Re-
bellion Law" which makes the meeting
fsuch convention an offense punisha-
BILE with death, they will not consent.
The convention was very large, all the
districts being well represented. and by
the most able, honest and earnest men in
Kansas. All worked nobly and harmo-
niously together. knowing nothing but the
welfare OF the country. Governor Rob
inson was called upon on Tuesday for
public explanation of the causes which in
duced him to resign the Office Of Cover
nor Of the State organization. He re-
piled in speech which convinced every
one that he had never deserted the cause.
Last nigAta resolution inviting Gov. Rob-
inson to Withdraw or recall bis letter to
Lieut.. Gov. Roberts, in which he instruct
ed the latter to lay his resignation before
the meeting of that body in January last,
was unanimously adopted amid thunders
of applause. On being called out be de-
clared his intentions to comply, and ex-
pressed his belief that the Free State or
ganization is now stronger than ever be-
fore. II the pro-slayery party organize
under the constitution they are about
forming, the free state government will
go into immediate operation; otherwise
i will only be kept alive until admitted
into the Union. s.,.s.'l.s-..5

PriestIy Interference.

We heard yesterday ofa painful case,
IN which two lives seem to have been lest
by the unauthorized interference of Ro.
man Catholic priest. Knowing as we dc
that this is but one of many similar in.
stances we think it proper TO call public
attention to the subject.
A respectable physician, living in the
west side of town, was called to attend a
woman at Sandy Town. He found her
dangerously ill in her confinement, and
requiring instrumental assistance. He
was about TO proceed to his duty in the
case, when he was interrupted by priest,
who forbade him to go on, saying that il
was in violation ofthe precepts of his re
.ligion to do SO. The physician replied
that it was not in violation of American
law. or tile laws of common humanity,
and warned him of the perilous conse
quences of any delay. The priest as
sumed that, as the spiritual adviser of the
family, he had a right to control their ac-
tion in the case, and should do so. The
physician. finding himself powerless,
very properly abandoned the case.
A few hours after the poor woman and
her unborn child were both dead-the
natural consequence of the delay caused
by this meddlesome assumption of au-
thority on the part of the priest. We
make no remarks leaving the case to
speak for itself.-Bu6alo Com. 10.

rEGTsLATryE ITEMS,

In the House of Representatives at
Columbus, on the lst inst, the vote was
taken upon substitute offered by Mr..
Parsons, Of Franklin. to Mr.. CadwelPs
bill relative to the canal contracts. The
substitute was in principle the same with
Mr.. Braces resolutions--usually called
regulating resolutions - which have
passed the Senate. We are glad to see
that the substitute was defeated by vote
of SIS to 55.
Senator Griswold has offered pream
BILE and resolutions for the protection Of
Ohio citizens in Kansas. The following
is the concluding resolution:
Resoived, That the Committee on FL
nance be and hereby is instructed TO re-
port a bill at an early day, appropriating
Sl0o, 900, to be placed in the hands Of the
Governor Of the State, TO be used by him
for the relief of the people Of the Terrific
ry OF Kansas, who are there seeking. to
establish and preserve the blessing OF that
freedom we enjoy, in the manner best cal
culated to accomplish that object. when
everfrom some future invasion, and IN
his judgment. the exigency shall arise,
making such relief necessary.
On the Sd inst, Mr.. Cadwell's Bill on
the Canal Contracts was defeated in the
House by SO to 5o--not Constitutional
majority. A motion has been made to re-
consider it. 1t is said that the matter will
be up again in week. The Constitu-
tional amendments have passed both
branches Of the Legislature.
The Canal Contract matter now stands
just as il did at the beginning of the ses-
sion. every project having been defeated.

schemes of those southern statesman who
have SO Systematically opposed the ad

railroad to the Pacific, and in the govern

WHAT will heDo,

The New York Tribune puts the mat,
ter of the resignation of Geary and the
appointment of Robt. J. Walker, very
clearly into few words. Walker goes
forth armed with the promise of unlimited
power. he wishes Judges to be remov.
ed--removed they are to be. Ifhe wish
es troops-troops he is to have. In short,
be is to have (according to promise) ex-
actlywhat Geary wished. and not getting,
resigned in despair. "Why" says the,
Tribune, '.have these conditions been de.
MED to him but accorded to Gov. Walker?
Why because the Border Ruffian usurpers
OF legislatiyepower over Kansas have insis.
ted on Geary's downfall, and effected it?''
Again, the Tribune says, "when men tell
us he will do fairly, we cannot help ask.
ing, do schat? Will he sustain the usurp.
ed predominance Of the Border Ruffians?
Will he enforce the bogus Laws? Will
he consider resistance to the edicts of the
Missouri Kansas Legislature a rebellion,
justly punishable with death?' These
are the questions in the case Cn. Com.

naturalized since the formation of the
