nY-The "Butler Poney" seemed to
be wonderfully exercised on the day the
House voted on the English amendment,
and undertook to catechise Mr.. Cox up
on his course, and to talk about the
pledge of the anti-Lecompton demo
Gratis, and their consistency. Wonder if
"Lew"remcmbers the speech he made on
the Court House steps in Eaton, previ-
Gus to the last Congressional election,
when he held out his right arm, and
hoped hat it "might wither'' if he ever
voted for the admission of a slave state
or any more slave territory He ought
to talk of consistency, when in the face
of this solemn declaration of his, he
voted for the admission of a slave state

The Laws.

A large portion of our paper this week
is occupied with the Laws, all of which
are very important and should be pre-
served for future reference. We will
finish the publishing of these in a week
or so more, after which we will return
to our usual variety of news and miscel-
lany reading matter.

Kansas is alive with aspiring men:
all anxious for official positions. A
convention of neutrality-suspicious. will
assemble shortly, to nominate State of
ficers under the Leavanworth Constitu-

this report of the names and aspirations
of some of the Anti Lccompton actors.
"The candidates are fishing round.
Those most prominently spoken of for
Office are, for United States Senate,
Lane, Robinson, McLane and Vaughan.
Each of these will fad great opposition
in the nominating convention. For
Governor DR.. Davis of this city, is anX-
ious. He is opposed, as [ have told
you, to the Niger equality portion of
the constitution. 1t is probable, as the
radical element will doubtless prevail,
that a new man Will be chosen. For
Lieutenant Governor, we have Holiday.
of Topeka, and Thatcher of Lawrence.
Thatcher in convention. took very strong
grounds in favor Of the negro-sutfrage
clause, Directing for a considerable time
to an amendment to allow the people OF
the Territory to vote upon the question
one year hence, instead Of at the see
ond general election, as Was originally
adopted"
"For Secretary Of State, the Rev. II.
P. johnson, of thiA city, the owner o!
at least a dozen slaves, who was one of
the most strenuous to obtain an early
settlement of the negro question by the
voters, he is the prominent man. For
Representative a concentrated attempt
will be made to throw Marcus Parrot. it
being desired to give the seat to NJ. +.
Conway, late President Of the Leavan-
worth Convention. The attempt will
in all probability be successful, although
it will cause considerable trouble in the
camp"

ton of said Territory equals the ratio
of population required for a member of
the House of Representatives of the
United State; and whenever thereafter
such delegates shall assemble in nve
ton, they shall determine by a vote
whether it is the wish of the people of
the proposed State to be admitted into
the Union at that time, and if so, shall
proceed to form a. constitution, and take
all necessary Nteps for tina formation of
a State government, in conformity with
the Federal Constitution, subject to the
approval or ratification of the people of
the proposed State, in such manner as
they may have prescribed, and shall be
entitled to admission into the Union rs
a State under such constitution thus
fairly and legally made, with or without
slavery, as such constitution may pre-
scribe.
The. second section relates to the
commissioners of elections, and the
manner of conducting them. The Gov
ernor, United States District Attorney,
Secretary of the Territory, the Presi-
dent of the Council, and the Speaker of
the House of Representatives constitute
the board of election commissioners.
The third section provides that all
white male inhabitants of over twenty
one years, who possess the qualifications
which were required by the laws of the
Territory for a legal voter at the last
general election for members of the
Territorial Legislature, and none other,
shall be allowed to vote.
The other sections relate to details,
AMI are the same as in the Crittenden

From Washington.

The following paragraphs are from a
letter by "IoN' of the Baltimore San,
dated April 81:
The republican papers arc compelled
to admit that the substitute bill does
submit to the people of Kansas the Le-
compton constitution, practically, though
not in terms. That is also the opinion
of many fthe southern men, and, hence,
a disposition in that quarter to resist it.
The Union" cmphatically denies
that the treasury will call for a loan, or
for authority to onnect the treasury
notes with a loan by funding the same.
1t also considers the rumor hat further
temporary aid, by means of treasury
notes, will be called for, as premature.
After a week or two the Secretary of the
Treasury will have such information as
will enable him to judge whether it will
be necessary or prudent to ask for au-
thority to issue an additional amount of
treasury notes.
The change of the tariff at the last
session has much reduced the revenue,
and that was, in a great measure, the
object of the change. At the mex ses-
sion it is more than probable that Con-
gress will find it necessary to make an
other change, with a view to increase
the revenue.
Rea-Some of the leading second ad-
v~entists in Newark, n. j., have again
set a period for the destruction of the
world protesting to have discovered the
errors of their previous calculations,
and to have finally ascertained the ex-
act truth. They regard the recent f.
nancial depression and the prevailing
religious excitement as signs of the last
days. By the next arrival from Europe
they expect to hear of the destruction
of the city of Rome, and this will por-
tend the conflagration of the world next
summer. The prophecy of Lord Ros-
Sc, the astronomer of England that the
coming sommcr will be the hottest one
ever known, it is thought to favor the
hope of a general confagration.

900 persons, to be used by them during
the summer for preaching in destitute
and isolated localities.

sold 1000 pounds. He will sell about T..
900 more, and will still have enough left

LITTLE COUNTRY PAPERS. 1t
amuses one who has a good PERCEPTION
of the ludicroas, says the Trinity Jour-
to hear the fag ends of other professions
talk disparagingly of their local paper
as an insignificant sheet" a mere "lo-
cal affair." or more elegantly a some
horse papar." Such persons often af-
ford involuntary illustration of how
great fool man can be and live, and
if the truth was known the local paper
of their denunciation has some time or
other sighted them, or mortally often
ded by accidental mention of more
successful rival. They are the persons
who bore editors, and who will make
abject sacrifice of independence to get
their insignificant names in big letters in
the meanest country paper. They are
the great little men of the village, who
could be called back from their most ex-
tended explorations of fame's territory
by beating tin pan for free lunch.
No one ever hears a man of talent or
distinction disparage his local paper. If
contemplate he never speaks of it at all,
and if distinguished for ability he feels
a pride in what betokens intelligence in
his neighbors. 1t is the three cent in
dividual, who is good for no purpose,
whatever, who thus patronizingly talks
of zone horse" examples of other pro-
fessions.
