''There were many reasons, individual as
well as official, why he was pleased to join

that be helped to build this city himself. In

much to its glory. be gave the toll of his
youth, and were it necessary, he could re-
turn to them. Those localities he never pass
eb without emotion. Although subsequently,
admitted to the profession of the law, of which
the orator of the day was so distinguished

with pleasure to the days which he passed
in those workshops. for there with those who
were associated with him, were passed many
of the happiest hours of his life.''

..Not sound on the Goose"

John Letcher, III. C. from Virginia, has
been much talked of as next candidate for
Governor, to succeed Henry A. WISE
Wise having damaged himself somewhat by
opposing Lecompton and backing Douglas.
Letcher thought, and not without reason,
that his chances were as good as the best.
But the poet tells US that
The best laid schemes of man and men
Aft gang agley,
And leave nought but grief and pain
For promised joy.
The smelling COMMITTEE have discover
ed the scent of abolition upon his garments,
and Mr.. Letcher's castles have well nigh
melted into thin air. Itappears that in 1847
Virginia clergyman, the reverend DR..
Buffner, preached a sermon against slavery,
among other things, and that Mr.. Letcher,
not having the fear of siavery's god Mo-
loch) before his eyes, but being instigated
and sedueed by his own conscience, that
anti-slavery devil which has tormented the
whole South before its time, signed letter
or card addressed to DR.. Buffner request
ing him to publish his discourse, which was
done. Now that discourse is still extant,
and is found to be as full of Abolition as
Lecompton is of sin. Unfortunate Mr.
Letcher! His youthful indiscretion viii be
the ruin of him. In vain he pleads that he
has altered his mind. He committed the
ness and might as well take his place
quietly with the Abolition goats" on Mo-
loch's left!

Important if True.

The Lawrence Herald of the 7th inst.
has a long article, headed every Import
anti; the upshot of which is, that the ever
memorable Legislature which sat at Law
renee last winter. and passed the Minneola
bill, failed to make any provision for the
choice of new Legislature to succeed them;
and that there is no legal authority for any
election of members to the Legislative branch
of the Territorial Government.
1t would seem that the first Legislature
was provided for by the Organic Act; the
second by Special Act, which applied On
ly to the election of members to the last
Legislature; and as that illustrious body
were too much absorbed in the granting of
town and Bank charters to think of such
small matters as only interested common
folks" they adjourned without making any
provision for the choice of their successors.
The Herald, with It's accustomed candor,
charges the fault upon the "Topekaites. !"
Awful! We may have a word to say to
the charge another time.
But what is to be done about it? We
should suppose that Gov. Denver would at
once issue call for an extra session of the
Solons elected last year, to complete their
work; for of course the old members hold
for one year from the time they were elected

It is said that the great argument used
against Blair, was that he was treating the
Germans (the id Dutch i in the la
ger beer saloons; and by such poor. mis-
cradle lie, votes enough were diverted from
him to elect lick-spittle of the Admins
tration. Bah! Sdch Is Know Nothing
ism. 1t defeated Benton in 1854, on even
smaller pretexts,
It is some consolation to know that the
fools who have done the mischief win have
TO sitter for it, IN that most sensitive part
of the system, the poeket-aervs.
Mr.. Blair's services in Congress had been
of more pecuniary value to the State
of Missouri than all the other Representa-
tiYes and Senator'S combined. Witness his
success in procuring the passage of the bill
refunding to the State two per cent. of the
proceeds of the sales of public lands within
her limits. Mr.. Blair, by his tact and en-
terprise procured its passage through the
House, where he uniformly acted with the
Republican minority; while Senators Green
and Polk had not influence enough to Sc
cure its passage through the Senate, with
Its two-thirds Lecompton majority.
Blair's speech in Congress in behalf OF
the Pacific Railroad, was worth more to
Missouri than all the doings of her entire
Lecomptonite Delegation.
He is defeated, if defeated at all, by in
trigue and fraud. The whole power and
patronage of the Administration was wield-
ed against him, and ballot stufing did the
rest. II IS WELL. The people of st.
Louis needed a practical lesson. and they
have it. The blow falls not upon Frank P.
Blair, Jr., but upon St. Louis, aud its man
ufaeturing and business interests. Hun
dreds of thousands of hard cash that would
have sought investment within her limits,
will now 60 elsewhere, or aCait.
AS for Mr.. Blair, his name and fame are
too well known and established to suffer
from such defeat. Young tells us that !:
death loves shining mark
and we may add, so does Buchanan; but
he is bad marksman, and kills far oftener
with his embraces than with his arrows.
