COol-Decidedly Cool.

Il Our neighbor of the NeocS, thinks we
have "just walked up 10 the fact, that
there are gold mines in Nebraska; - and
intimates charges of "demagogism'' and
seeking popularity" because we did not
join in with him last winter in advocating
annexationto Kansas, on the ground hat
we would thereby hare a "warner cli-
matel"
"Oh! We gods and little fishes p Don't
a homily from that source, on ~demagoga-
ry and popularity seeking come with ex-
ceedingly good grace, and thrilling eff
fect?" re

regularly since the gold excitement, have

Hon. S. G. Daily appears by a recent
correspondence in the Advertiser. to take
exceptions as to the course pursued by
your correspondent, "Capitolium,'' in his
communications of passing events trans
piring at the Capital and complains that
he "does not give a full account of the
matter of which they treat"
The writer of those letters will take
this occasion to inform the Honorable
gentleman that it is not within the prov
ince of the duties of Capitolium to treat
extensively and learnedly on the subjects
which he presents for public information
and e~diication, but to give the facts in
as few words as will render them reada-
bic and Ineligible to the general read
er.
HON. S. G. DAILY.

the highest esteem, deeming him a gen.
tleman; and, for a Republican, an excel
lent legislator; always attentive to the in
terests of his constituents; active and en-
ergetic whilst. on duty; an able DICTATOR, a
a sociable and companionable associate ;
and, with all, possessing integrity and
uprightness of intentions in the perform
ance of his official obligations. :

1t appears, that at some future time,
Mr.. Daily intends to break a lance with
CapitoIium on the subject of the Court,

~parently taking umbrage at the objections
raised by capitOlium during the setting of
the Legislature as TO the course persued
by that body in passing special bills, when
those of a general nature would have an
swered the purposes Of constituents equal

stances.
At the commencement of the Legisla-
ture a few test votes were taken, which
arrayed the Democracy on n side and
the Republicans on the other, with avery
few exceptions in both parties. On this
question, the latter placing themselves
pretty generally on the side favoring the

There is no peeiailegislatien neces-

cious time is spent IN legislating for
bridges, ferries, mill-dams, roads, county
seats, towns and cities, which might be
used more proitably by enacting general
statutes to govern all such cases.
Such a course would prevent monopo-
