dorse it, in the hope of saving the republic
from anarchy and ruin.

failed to get the floor today to report the bill

WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Jan. 26.
HOITAE

ROUSE.
The House authorized the Investigating
Committee on the Middlesex Mills affair, to
employ stenographlc. and then went into
committee on the Invalid Pension Bill.
Mr.. Anderson, of Missouri, spoke in favor
of the administration on Kanzas affairs, and
the admission Of Kan8as under the Lecomn.
ton constitution.
The House passed the bill for the payment
of the Invalid and other pensions. They
then considered the bill appropriating $780,
600 to cover the deficiency in the printing ac-
counts Of the last two Congresses.
Mr.. Phelps, of Missouri, said the fault was
IN ordering to be printed, weeks before they
were communicated to Congress, and men-
toned the first volume of the Japan Expedi.
ton, at the cost of the modest sum of S99,-
600, and the second volume of the Pacific
Survey, at a cost of over So 900.
MIR. Clark B. Cochrane referred to the fact,
that at the election in Kanzas. on the 4th of
January, there were over 10000 votes cast
against the Lecompton constitution, rejecting
1t by more than four to one; that the free
State candidates were elected; but he had
no doubt they will in making the returns,
be counted out. 1t was the object of this
Lecompton movement to make up by fraud
what was wanting in numbers. He charac-
abhorred instrument" and opposed to the re-
corded will of the people. 1t was a swindle,
reeking with fraud and branded with popular
condemnation, and was only recommended to
Congress by the plea of exped ency. 1t was
fugitive from justice, and was smuggled
here under the federal arms, with odor OF
death upon it. Instead OF breathing into
it the breath Of life, it should be carried back
for interment.
Mr.. Keitt said as this discussion was COM
ing to head, he wished. in order to avoid
misrepresentation, to ask Mr. Cochrane wheth-
er he would vote for the admission of Kanzas
under the Topeka Constitution.
MIR. Cochrane replied that he would, if
there was evidence of its having been embod-
led in the public will.
Mr.. keitt-Did you not say, iu your
speech, that it was
Mr.. Cocbrane- At its adoption.
Mr.. Keitt-If the whole constitution had
been submitted to the people, and all the votes
in the Territory been thrown, and majority
of the voters have declared unequivocally that
slavery shall be established therein, would
you vote to admit Kanzas under it?
Mr.. Cochrane = But for one fact, viz

THE SEAsoN.-This is truly remarkable sea
son. Vide the following from the Providence
Journal;
"a butterfly emerged from his chrysalis at the
Marine Hospital, yesterday, and seemed greatly
surprised to hud that no better preparation had
been made for him, in the way of leaves and flow
ers. His beautiful wings of green and gold were
folded in disgust, and he seemed inclined to go
back and wait till the fields and gardens cores
pond better with the temperature"
And the following from the New Bedford Mer-
curry:
We hear that the May flower is in bloom in
this neighborhood. In Plymouth woods, thess
beautiful flowers were in full perfection, last
week"
The NevburypOrt Herald acknowledges the re
ceipt of beautiful boquet of flowers from lady
of that city, who gathered them in open air from
her garden on the 2lst inst. There were garden
pinks ands celandine in full-grown leaf, and a.
fresh as in June, with variegated pansies in full
bloom.
A dandelion plant, in full bloom. was fount
fourshing among the huge pavements in thu
Northeast part Of Thames street, Newport, las

SECRET HISTORY OF THE PRESIDENTS APos.
TAoY,-The secret history of Gov. Wise's de-
lection from the administration is thus given
by the Washington Republic with substan-
tlal accuracy, we have no doubt
The President started out with the pol
icy OF securing to the people OF Kansas fair
vote upon their constitution. He sent Gov,
Walker to Kansas to execute that policy
For awhile he stood firm, and wrote letter
to Gov. Walker (not yet published, but
shown by Gov. W. TO many persons,) assur-
ing him of the support of the administration.
Z Let Georgia, and alabama, and Mississippi
hO'ol, said the President in his letter, I aoiH
stand By yOu That the President used sub
stantially this language, is well authenti-
Gated fact. In the end the bowling beca me
so terrific that poor Buchanan was fright
ened out Of his wits, changed his policy and
abandoned Gov. Walker.
Before he changed his policy, he had ar
ranged with Gov. Wise to make diversion
against the fire eaters in Virginia. Gov.
Wise, and the Richmond Enquirer, under
Gov. Wise's influence, were to support the
administration programme in Kansas, and
the administration were to support Gov. w.
for the United States ssnatorship against Mr..
Hunter. Gov. Wise arrived here to com
plete and perfect these arrangements, on the
gerry day that the Union announced the PreSt-
dents submission to the nuttifers. Gov. Wise
went home, and has been since nursing the
wrath which breaks out in his letter to Tam.
many Hall Not only was his scheme of de-
teatng Mr., Hunter blown up, but he himself
had been drawn into commitments upon the
Kansas question which destroy bis demo-
cratic standing disabled as he is from max
ing any effective fight by the treachery of the
President. Gov. Wise is betrayed man,
and, as g democratic politician, ruined. If
he does not compass some revenge, even if
victory be unattainable, it viii prove that
age has wonderfully softened his temner.'

Interesting to Emigrants.

If any individuals are to be found in this COM
munity who believe that they can better their
fortunes by leaving the old homestead and set
Ting elsewhere, there to engage in agricultural
pursuits, we wish to direct the attention of such
to the advertisement Of SAMUEL II. JONES, Esq,
in another column of this paper.
Mr.. JONES is one of the wealthiest landed
prcprietors in New Jersey, and the real estate
which is now, for the first time in century, OPEN
ed for market, comprises one of the best tracts
of land in that State. Unlike the numerous
schemes of land sales and paper villages, with
which the newspapers have been recently filed,
all or most of them gotten up by bogus compa-
MES of spectators, the offers here made by
man of character and responsibility, are genuine,
and exactly what they are represented to be- and
we can, from personal acquaintance with the
advertiser, fully assure any one desiring to pur
chase such property as is herewith advertised,
that he may rely implicitly upon all the facts
therein stated and assurances given.
While, during the past years there has been,
and is at the present time, disposition on the
part of many of the brightest and most ntelli-
gent of the "Green Mountain Boys to make
for themselves homes in other States, it seems
strange that the advantages of this section of
the country should have been, to so great an
extent, overlooked, and have remained compar
atively unsettled. 1t lies directly between the
great and populous cities of New York and
Philadelphia, -which do and ever will furnish
ready markets for the disposition of every va
riety of farm products at re-munerative prices
with all attractive climate, the soil generally
good, and ferterlizers of all kinds cheap and
abundant, schools, churches and shops of all
kinds in The immediate vicinity, easy of access
to both of the great cities near it, and only a
days ride from Brattleboro, or any of the prin-
cipal towns in the Connecticut River Valley.

Walton's Daily journal, in good-natured
reply to some of my criticisms upon the man
ner in which the "Smiths" and the "little fishes"
are reported in that paper, asks why do not
suppress such legislation, and closes with this
very pungent query, SIS his journal not little
flat and uninteresting
The Journal of the House purports to be a
true record of Legislative proceedings, and is
mainly useful as a present reference for the
status of Legislative Matters and for future ref
erence. 1t would be "stale, fiat and unprofta-
BILE" as newspaper reading confess, but what
of thatP do not understand that the Daily
Journal pretends to furnish an exact record of
the daily business of the two Houses. / have
as yet seen no account of the yeas and nays,
although they appear in the Legislative journal,
nor do find in it any mention of other matters
of equal Importance. But let that pass.
| suppose that there are two classes of read
ers of legislative proceedings. Those who are
at Montpelier either as members of the Legis-
lature, or as lockers on, constitute the one class
and what they mostly want is the name of every
petitioner, memoralist, remonstrant, the exact
reference which is being almost daily made of
every bill and other matter under reconsideration
and when it is laid down and when it is taken
up, The other class, embracing all away from
the capitol care not for these multitudinous de-
tails but desire most to know the nature of the
principal subjects considered, the arguments
made for and against them, and the way and
manner in which they are finally disposed off,
For this class the Journal does not cater, in my
opinion, erroneous though it may be, sufficient
ly.
As have censured, so will commend, wher-
ever there is opportunity for the one, or neces-
sity for the other.
The Daily Journal has greatly improved with
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1858-11-13

in the past two years, and il it keeps on inn
proving in the same ratio, il will eventually meet
the demands of all. IL is with degree Of
promptitude that challenges our admiration, be-
ing generally on all the members tables imme-
diately after tea with its reports of the proceed
ings of the same day, down to the hour of adj
journment. Its editor is one of the most ac-
commodating men both to the members and of
fccrs of the Legislature that can be found, al
ways good-natured and willing cheerfully to do
them favor. Long may he wave and may the
Daily journal go on improving until it satisfies
almost everybody, and returns to the pockets of
its proprietor rich harvest of thanks and
richer harvest of "material aid"
Gov. Hall has nominated, and the Senate
have confirmed, President PEAsE, of Burlington,
J. d. BRADLEY, Esq, of Brattleboro, and +. p.

gentlemen constitute the existing Board, and it
will be agreed that the selection of these men

Adjoining this property are farms worth from
$50 to 800 per acre, and the wealthicst farm
ers in that State are buta few miles distant from
its borders. The proprietor is extensively en-
gagged in the manufacturing of iron and lumber,
which business is so rapidly increasing tina, he
finds it desirable to dispose of some of his lands
to relieve himself from the care of their man
agcment. To individuals and associations, an
opportunity of making desirable settlements
within easy reach of their early homes, is here
given that is worthy of their serious oonsidera-
