Why is this so? Because it has been governed

This institution has not therefore, contributed TO
the necessity Of the suspension, but after it has
been brought about by circumstances over which it
had CONTROL it is labcring with zeal to mitigate its
effects, by furnishing gold in small sums to meet
actual wants, by furnishing exchange at one per
cent, when it could have e1acted much larger sums,

Of public and general nature that most States and
communities have looked to those interests, to

TO the Philadelphia Press, it appears that the ad
min stration believes Gen. Jim Lane, the free State
military leader to be q Mormon He is evidently a
great bugbear to the powers that 'ggud BE- both at
Washington and in Kansas:
" Ilearn that the administration are in possession

seutarives by Col Hunt, Of Louisiana, and showed
no light, and who afterwards served for time in a
matte asylum, preparatory to his ds5a IN Kansas
