/ The news, by the return OF Gov. Denver from
the Southern part of the Territory, IL highly
gratifying to every peace tcuiag citizen Of Kan
| sas His action has been such a. 10 en'itle him
| to the thanks Of the people. learn that he
commissioned constables and magistrates OF the
Free State side, such as were recommended to
him BY the people, and also enrolled the Free
State men in the militia in sufficient numbers 70
protect the country from the Hamilton band in
the future The time has been when, Tor this
simple act OF manliness, the Governor would
have had his head dropped into the basket, bus
as the Administration has come out second besf
in every brush 1t has had with Kansas 20 far, II
may be that for the future such demonstrations
will be more cautiously made, i not entirely
abandoned. There is not tho least sign OF
contest, any where dscoverable, by the few
friends of the English Bride nor will there be,
in my opinion, as the Administration is too
weak to rally anything like q respectable fac
tion in the Territory. Many who are with the
Administration in all other measures, are OPP
posed to the Bride, and will vote against IT,
have had talk recently with A. q. Davis,
Esq, the newly appointed District Attorney
shall be disappointed in my present opinion
If he is found doing anything 10 favor fraud IN
the coming election. Indeed i is hard for the
Administration to find men base enough, at this
distance from the corrapting fountain wash
ington,) to subserve such line of policy rs has
characterized the past history of the central
government since the organization of the Ter
ritory. With any other community or people,
there might be some hope by Intervention, of
producing little feeling favorable TO the adop-
tion OF the ordinance; but the character Of our
people iorbids all hope. Knowing this, the Ad-
mnstration will probably abandon all efforts,
and thereby save large sums OF money.
LAUGHTER.-Laughter is not altogether a
foolish thing. Sometimes there is even wisdom
IN it. Solomon himself admits there is time
to laugh, as well as time to mourn. Man
only laughs-man, the highest organized be-
ing; and hence the definition that has been
proposed of imam, laughing animal" Ger
tainy, it defines him as well as Cooking ami
NAL" ''fool making ANIMAL political ami
NAL" or such like Laughter very often shows
the bright side of man. II brings out his
happier nature, and shows of what sort Of
stuff he is really made Somehow we feel as
il we never thoroughly knew man until we
hear him laugh. We do not feel at home with
him till then. We do not mean mere Singer,
but good, round, hearty laugh. The solemn
sober vlsage, like Sundays dress, tells moth
ing OF the real man. He may be very silly,
or very profound; very cross, or very jolly
Let us hear him laugh, and we can decipher
him at once, and tell how his heart beats -
We are disposed to suspect the man who new,
er laughs. At all events, there is a repulson
about him which we can not get over. Lava
ter says: "Shun the man WHO never laughs,
who dislikes music or the glad face OF child"
There is what every body feels, and none more
than children, who are quick at reading char
acters; and their strong instinct rarely deceives
them Blackwood.
