fLrii TAEsis,

Kansas has been denominated, and most ikly,
the grave Of Governors. Already Il has had
Eve since Ii vas cfganised De Territory, now
abOut four years ago. The Hrst was A. H. Rec
der, who reached Kansas October 9Th, 1854, and
was behcaded July 3lst, 1855. Cause, a datkey
in the wood-pil The second Governor and
the second victim, WIS ole Wilson Shannon.
He was born September LIST, 1855, and subsidized
August 2lst, 1856, aged only eleven months.
The third Gubematorial birth was that of John
w. Geary, which took place September 1ith;
1856. Gov. G. was knocked in the head By
"colored gempleman,," in Ihe by part Of
March, 1857, aged seven month"; The fourth
Executive ephemerality in Kansas, was Robert
]. Walker. He gave the darkey the slip one
bright mornings and thus avoided having his
brains knocked out; but he was as good a. dead
for sometime before he cut and run, and his
tombstone is among the rest. Denver is now
in the chair, and already there are symptoms
that he, too, will be decapitated, but this time
by new power; in other Words by the free
people of Kansas themselves. By last accounts
he was engaged in an encounter with General
Jim Lane, and ifhe can come out Of such con-
test with clean skirts, then the old saying, to the
end that, abe who touches pitch shall be de6I.
ed" is mere rhetorical f0rrish. DeuVer's
tombstone will stand hard BY the Others. p
Kansas is not alone, however, the grave Of
Governors. Several other distinguished officials
may count It as the Maasoleum where they are
to sleep long sleep; not to he aforementioned.
however, nor to be uneursed BY all lovers Of
freedom. "Pennsyltania's iavorite soH," Pre-
sident Buchanan, is now digging deep grave
in the soil of Kansas, and he is doing il ct the
expense Of the rights Of the sovereign people.
By the time the present session Of Congress clo-
ses, the grave will be ready, the mouruers win
be hard by, but the corpse will net be placed in
the coffin and lowered into the ground until
1860. Thea it assuredly will be; then, too, the
headstone win be reared; thena terrible tale Of
folly and treachery will be written thereon, IN
letters as undying as were those which aazighs-
cd the vision of the wicked BsbylOnian Monarch:

AN INDIAN WEDDING.

The Nebraska City News contains long &c
count of the marriage of Pawnee Chief to
blood royal squaw of the Otoe tribe. The bride
groom was named Whitewater, and the bride
Wah- mush-p -shinga. We extract the follow.
ing:
The Chietain's daughter was elegantly dress
ed-in red flannel shirt, with deep blue calico
border. checked apron, summer killed Buf.
falo robe, and white felt hat Her jewels were
magnificent. From either auricular depended
bright ornaments of brass, tin and copper.
We must not omit to mention that Miss Wah-
mush- pe-shinga also wore cred petticoat,"
embroidered according to a design Of her own,
with porcupine quills, representing n desperate
hog fight. Her entire wardrobe and jewelry
could not have cost less than six thousand dol
lars in Fontenelle money. The bridegroom was
attired in all the magnifcence which his rank
and wealth demanded. He wore a standing
shirt collar, medal of President Pierce, blue
straight collared soldier coat With brass buttons
and elegant pair of Spanish spurs, while his stall
wart loins were admirably clothed in an ancient
coffee sack. Altogether the appearance of both
the bride aud the groom was appropriate to their
high sphere in life.
The most sumptuous feast awaited the guests
at the residence of the BRIDES father. 1t was
spread in camp-kettle and suspended over the
fire that burned in the centre of that prineely
lodge. 1t consisted Of young dog meat, very
tenler, blue corn and old dog meat, beaver tails
and mule steak, fresh fish and sugar, making,
one of the most palatable and nour
ishing compounds that ever graced a royal camp
kettle. The horn-spoons of occidental luxury
seldom convey to the educated palate viands
more tempting and delicious. As for drinks,
corn whiskey made of red pepper, tobacco plugs
and rain water, together with molasses sweet
ened coffee made up the list.
Among the distinguished persons present, we
did not fail to notice the six Mesdames Petana-
share, the wives Of that eminent Injin," who
is now at Washington, visiting James Buchanan
on official business Also, Mr.. Whitecow, of
the Omaha principaIity, Mr.. Big Soldier, Esquire
and the Hon. Short tailed Elk.

WINFIELD coTT IN THE GALLERY.-The House
has lately adopted resolution cutting off from
the privilege of the floor all persons except Jus
tees of the Supreme Court, Governors of the
States, officers of the House, &c. Yesterday,
while the House was in sessiOs, tall. stout,
gray haired old man, dressed in very plain
clothes, approached the principal entrance Of
the hall, and, evidently not aware of the new
arrangement, attempted to enter. He was
stopped by the Door-keepeF, who inquired if he
was Chief Justice or Governor. 81 No SIR
was the answer, but, by resolution of Congress,
all officers of the Army, who have received the
thanks of Congress, are entitled to the psiV:lege
of the floor" "Are Jon an ofsoer of the Ar
myi'' asked the DoOr-keeper, looking With some
doubt at the stalEart old man. 81 an, sir; my
name is Scott-Winfeld Scott, Of the United
States Army" The manner Of The Door-keeper
underwent an instantaneous change, as be very
politely informed the General Of the repeal Of
the resolution which gave him right 10 the
floor. "But," said he, @pass in, General; L
will take the responsibility myself" "No, SIR -
was the answer, I do not wish to violate any
rule, sir; I will go to the gaIlery,"-and the
brave old man, whose name is synonymous with
the military glory Of the United States. climbed
the long range Of stairs and took bis seat In the
crowded gallery alone and unnotioed.-CSy.

The POPULAR HEART RIGHT.-In the Massa
chusetts Legislature, resolutions were lately in
troduced 10 amend the Constitution of thai
State, so as to prohibit Baiazalized citzess from
voting until two years after they had become
citizens. A negro is allowed 70 vote spon sil
months residence, and ttere is no intention Of
changing that law. In the debate on the reso
IutiOns, Hon. Caleb Cushing, among other things
said:
"Mr. Speaker-I-you--we-gentlemeB oil
The House Of Representatives, belong to that
Excellent white race, the consummate imperson.
alton Of intellect in man, and Of loneliness in
woman, whose power and whose privilege it is,
wherever they may 60, and wherever they may
remain, to Christianize and to eiVilize, 20 com.

maH-my blood and raee-Ehether he be the
Saxon of England or the Celt Of Ireland. But
/ do not admit as my equals either the red man
Of America, or the yellow man Of Asia, or the
black man of Africa"
The loud and continued applause from the
spectators in the galleries, that greeted Mr.
Cushing on the delivery Of the above, Is strong
evidence that the practical good sense Of the
people will continue 70 be, as it has been, proof
against the negro-equality views held By m
merous class Of politicians.

from the clouds Of winter. There was also q
glorious CLEAN of hope in the House. The great
principle Of the win of the majority asserted it.
majesty, and seemed to be strong enough to
Wrestie with the. gigantic influences that have
fettered it so long. Those who differ from Mr..
Buchanan so regrrtfully on this issue, and who
have been traduced by his fatterers for this
difference, felt measufabIy compensated BY this
new victory. heard one Of the most gifted Of
these gallant fellows say last night: "Would
it not be proud satisfaction If we few, we
happy few, We band of brothers, could save Mr..
Buchanan and the party from this great calami-
ty!"

A PATHETIC IErrER,

Upon the occasion Of the Inauguration Of the
Statue of Washington, at Richmond, Va, on
the Odd of February, Mr.. Fillmore, in response
to an invitation to be present, sent the following
letter. 's -
BtFTALo, N. Y, February Ist, 1855.
GENTLEHES:-I have the honor 70 aeknowl-
edge the receipt Of your letter of the 18th ult-l
inviting me 10 be present at the elevation of the
Statue of Washington to its position, on the
Virginia Washington MOnEmenf," in the city
of Richmond, on the 22d day of February, inst,
and regret exceedingly that my engagements
are such as to deprive me of the pleasure of ac-
cepting your invitation.
Your State is justly entitled to great credit
for erecting this noble monument to her peerless
son, as a tribute of gratitude to his memory.
But the fame of Washington is more enduring
than monumental brass, or sculptured marble;
and when that proud pile of granite shall have
crumbled to dust, and that beautiful bronze sta
tue with which it is crowned shall be exhibited
as an ancient relic, in some future museum, the
name of Washington will shine with increased
lustre on the brightest page Of his country's his
tory. Surely, then, nothing which / could do
OF say could add to this undying fame; but ne
vertheless, l should rejoice to testify, by my
presence on this interesting occasion, my deep
veneration and profound respect for the charac-
ter of Washington.
Perhaps there was never time when his IN
selfish example and prophetic warnings were Of
more Importance to the country than now. The
Union which he sacrificed so much to establish,
is threatenedj the warning which he left as
paternal legacy to his country, is slighted; and
growing discomfort, North and South, cannot
fail to create anxiety ia the breast of every true
patriot.
At time like this, should rejoice to meet
my countrymen from all parts of this widespread
Republic, at the monument Of Washington rear
ed by his swn native State, and there, upon the
sacred altar, as children Of our Revolutionary
