for the admission of Kansas, exactly in the

The Pennsylvania Democratic members of
the House, last night, had full and free in.
terchange of opinions, continuing four hours
on the Kansas and other questions. Moth
ing of an affirmative character was consume
ted. The utmost confidence and respect
was expressed for the President. Although
regretted they were compelled 10 differ from
him or that subject, they had no disposition,
whatever, to embarrass the Administration
In its general policy.
The report Of the Sanate Committee on
Territories in relation to Kansas says that

therefore oppose its acceptance. They do
not regard it as any part of the Constitution
nor will its approval or dsapproval by Con.

LEGISLATIVE.

A newspaper and especially weekly,
country newspaper is not an omnibus. 1t
can't hold everything. 1t may be some
of our readers expect us to publish the
doings of the State Legislature. We
shall not do this for two reasons. First
we have not space enough, if We should
devote it all to that purpose, and sccc II
we have no doubt the great majority Of
our subscribers read Madison or Nil
waukee paper which contains tie pr. ed
inos in full Nine tcnths of the business
of the legislature is of only local interest.
For instance, Mr.. Cannon, our repre>en-
tative in the Assembly has introduced a
bill to yacate certain alleys in the town
ofPepin and one granting the right to es-
tabliih ferry across the Mississippi at the
foot of Lake Pepin. Most of the bills intro
duced are of like character and we should
not deem it wise for us to occupy our
space with them. AT the same time we
shall endeayor to keep our readers inform
ed of the action of the Legislature on sub
jeets of general interest, such as banks,
schools DC.

The Saltwater Messenger says that
four men who on account of some irresu

winter in the Penitentiary in that place, a
few days since became disguised with
their situation and left. A gentleman
of color" was the companion of these
worthless, but they not being DESTROYS of
his company any longer, before leaving
fastened him in his cell. The MESSENGER
says
When Sambo was reprimanded for not
giving the alarm when he knew what
was going on, he very gravely informed
the Warden that he was not placed there
on that kind nf duty When informed
that the law would regard him as a par
ticeps criminals to the transaction, by thus
sanctioning or permitting the deed, and
would probably punish him severely by
extending his Imprisonment, he very sar-
eastically replied-"Sir, you can't fool dis
niger with any such logic! De higher
court says Niger has no rights which
white men are bound to respect, and
such being the case, what right had dis
nigger no say word! None, s;r-no
right to blow on dem four white gemmen."
Rather sharp practice that!

and inviting in appearance, and well filled
with good things. The fact is the Far
naer is not only full Of valuable informa-
ton, but it is eminently interesting and
readable. In first rate article on its
Newspaper exchanges" the Farmer
gives the following sensible advice.
Stick then, ye sturdy yeomanry and
tillers of the soil. to your newspapers.
no matter if you are poor; remember
there are none so poor as the ignorant,
except it be the depraved, and they too
often go together. Stick to your own
County paper, though it may not be SO
large or imposing as New York weekly,
but remember that it is the advertiser of
your neighborhood and daily business,
and tells you what is going on around
you, instead of a thousand miles away.
If it is not on as nice paper, and as good
as you would wish to have it, pay up
your subscriptions well, and get your
neighbors to do the same, and rely on it,
the natural pride of the publisher will
prompt him to improve it as fast as posi-
bic.

The Hon. Francis P. Blair, Jr., the
fearless and able Representative in Con
gress from Missouri, has discovered what
Central America was designed for, and
suggests its occupancy, through peaceable,
but effective Emigration, by race which
while developing its resources and eleva-
ting its condition, would find, in a congo
NAL climate, happy Homes.
The Free Colored Population of the
United States are the superiors, in all res
poets, of the race that inhabit Central A
merica. Instead Of sending Il G driblets
of Emancipation, at intervals, ''few and
far between" to Africa, why not turn the

from the thought of Liberia, would ca
