Legislative Corruption.

Respecting the removal Of the cap
ital Of the Territory to Minneola, we
have for the present no comments to
make; but there was one act perpc-
tlated by the Legislature that de-
mands tho immediate attention of ev-
cry impartial constituent of that body,
The Fort Lcavenworth, Usage City
and Fort Gibson r, r. Company pre-
sented apetition to that body, pray
ing for a charter for their road. In
that charter they desired to have no
points mentioned between Lawrence
and Usage City, they wishing to be left
untrammelled and free to run their
road through.such places as would be
the most advantageous to them. But
the Legislature refused to grant them
a charter unless Minneola was made
point, and they were compelled to
consent to insert Minneola as a point
in their charter, before it could be Sc
cured. The company are forced by
this measure to run their road SOW
en- or eight miles out OF direct
course, and at an extra expense OF
hundreds of thousands of dollars
The members of the company very
justly feel highly incensed at this out,
rageous dictation of official power,
and the conduct Of the Legislature
should be censured in the severest
terms by its constituents throughout
the Territory.
This was the most villainous in,
stance OF tampering with the rights'oi
people by power in whose hands
their fate was intrusted, that has
ever yet come to our knowledge
We have nothing more to say about
the Democratic party and Border Ruff
fan usurpations andtyranny. GOLD
the potent lever, has been edectually
used to barter away the liberties o
the people. Avarice is the great
cause Of human bondage, and tho
action Of the Legislature on this rail
road business shows concluSively thai
the love Of principle and regard fol
the rights Of froemen are matters o
secondary consideration with tha
body, and that they would as sool
engage in traf6cing in human tlesl
as their Southern brethren.

Scotch Argument for Marriage,

Jenny is poor, and l am poor,
Yet we will wed-so say no more;
And should the bairnies to US come,
As few that wed, but do have some
No doubt but heaven will stand our friend,
And bread, as we'll as children send;
So fares the hen in farmers yard,
To live alone she finds it hard:
I've known her weary every claw, q
In search of corn amongst the straw;
But when in quest of nicer food,
She clucks among her chirping brood,
With joy we SET. the selfsame hen
That scratched for one, could scratch for
ten.
These are the thoughts that make me willing
To take my girl without shilling;
And for the selfsame cause, you see,
Jenny resolved to marry me.

young balloons sat close behind him, watch

they would stand directly in his path and
hobble away only at the last moment. One
daring youngster followed close on the heels
OF the patriarch during the whole length of

he was about to turn. The old fellow seem

scarcely turning round at the insult Mas
ter Impotence was about repeating the per-
formance, when the pater, showing that he
was not such a fool as he looked, suddenly
sprang round, and, catching the young one
before he could escape, gave him two or
three such cuffs that ! could hear the screams
that resulted therefrom The venerable gen
tleman then chucked the delinquent over his

the greatest GOODNESS. The old baboon, evil
