The Palermo Leader very wisely re-
marks of our next Legislature -
im" We trust, as Free State men, they will
help to strengthen the great party that has
placed them in that honorable position !;
and as men, reflect credit on the discretion
and sagacity of their constituents.
"They cannot do this and prostitute the
public good to their private advantage, as
did the majority of the last Legislature !;
neither can they occupy the time belong
ing to the Territory, in passing bills which,
although they do the people of Kansas no
immediate harm, lay the foundation for
monopoiies that may in the future come in
conflict with the free immunities that
would foster our institutions to greatness.

tiyes that they use every endeavor to
effect the passage of general laws for cor

every right that The principle of liberal
protection demands. at the same time

monopoly Of privileges that may be in
significant now, but havingla long time
for their perfection, may be of immense
and baneful influence. If special charters
are given for useful objects, let the time
for operations under it be limited.
The people expect their representa-
tives to labor for the re-modeling of our
laws. The last Legislature adopted, in a
mutilated form, the code of Ohio; that

He had been in favor of Mr.. Heath's
suggestions, but if Thacher was not, he
believed he would not longer be. He re-

was decidedly, emphatically, and une-

Mr.. Thacher moved to lay both reports

unwise and ridiculous laws as the allow,
Some are even worse. Many officers are
provided for whose duties are precisely
the, same. yet they each receive salary,
which must be paid by tax levied upon
the people. Many are in such shape
that the original drafier could not tell for
what they were intended. Others are so
ridiculeusly absurd that no sane man
would ever think Of enforcing them
And thus we find thu riiiculous, the ex-
pensive, the inexplicahle, the unjust and
the infamous, mixed with few very
wholesome regulations, set down as the
claws of Kansas" A beautiful code.
certainly, for the government Of free
people. And the whole is attributable to
the base local legislation Of past Repre-
sentative sessions. which absorbed every
thing else. and gave no heed. or Thought,
or care, for the god of the people, or
the advancement of the Territory.
Another such session as last winters,
would almost ruin us as Territory. No
confidence could be reposed in our laws,
either at home or abroad Men Of capt.
tai would fear TO invest on such treach-
erons and uncertain tenure, and, indeed,
few would like to trust their lives in
country where crime is not held amenAble
to the law, or where the criminal has tea
thousand chances of escape, to. one of CON
viction and punishment. Our Territory
would soon become sort of Botany Bay,
in which criminals of every State would
find refuge, and fear no law.
Let the members of the Legislature re-
feet on these things, and weigh well the
effects Of a repetition ofthe actions Of the
former bodies. They have glorious OPP
portuuity of rejecting houor upon them
selves, and of gaining the approhi'ion Of
the people; or they can, Nth little effort,
render themselves more infamous and
despicable than their predecessors For

nation upon the traitors who prove recre-
ant TO their trust. II should he the duty

A Lady on tn. Summit of Pike. Peak.

The following is an extract from pri-
vate letter. written on the summit Of
Pixies Peak, by Mrs. HoLhEs, TO her
mother in Lawrence, K. T.:
/ have accomplished the task which
marked out for myself, aud now feel
amply repaid for all my toll and fatigue.
Nearly every one tried to discourage me
from attempting it, but | believed that |
should succeed; and now, here ! sm, and
| feel that would not have missed this
glorious sight for anything at ALL.
Ia all probability, am the first woman
who has ever Stood upon the summit Of
this mountain, and gazed upon this Won
drons scene which my eyes now behold.
How sigh for the poets power OF des-
criptiop, - that might give you some
faint idea of the grandeur and besuty of
the scene. Think of the huge rocks pro-
jecting out in all imaginable shapes, with
the beautiful eyergreens, the pines, the
frs, and spruces, interspersed among them,
and then the clear cold mountain stream,
which appears as though it started right
out from under some great rock-and on
it goes, rushing, rumblipg, aud Kissing
down over the rough mouutaip side, now
sparkling in the sunbeams, AID noe hid
ing behind some huge rock, aud now ris-
Ing again TO view, IL uishes on, away
down, down, until at length il turns cor
ner and is lost IN our sight
Extending as far as the eye can reach,
lie the great level plains, stretched out in
all their verdure and beauty, while the
winding Arkansas is visible for many
miles. We can also see distinctly where
many of the smaller tributaries unite With
it. Then the rugged rocks all around,
and the almost endless succession of
mountains and rocks below, the broad sky
over our heads, and seemingly so very
near; all, and everything, on which the
eve can rest, fills the eve with iufaitade,
and sends the soul to God.

Admissis. Il N1isne,sts

We may do injustice to Mr.. Buchanan and
his Cabinet in the supposition that they do
not desire the admission Of Minnesota, ex.
cept on the condition that Kansas, under the
Lecompton Constitution, is admitted at the
same time. But whatever their desires, the
action Of the President and his advisers, is
almost conclusive that the supposition is
we'll founded. The fact that Minnesota was
an applicant for membership of the Union,
was not communicated to Congress by the
President, until nearly two weeks after her
Constitution was officially presented; and he
sent with the message, when he was at last
constrained to speak. no recommendation
that the wishes Of the new State be complied
with. His friends in neither House evince
any anxiety to see Minnesota member Of
the Republican family; her petition, which
Congress authorized her to make, lies
neglected upon the Speakers table; and her
Senators and Representatives are idle at the
seat OF government, waiting the time when
they will be called upon to act. It is the
belief in Washington and elsewhere that this
inaction is the result of deep design; that
Minnesota's fate has been hinged upon the
Kansas fraud that her Constitution, form
ed without dispute, nay, by the we'll known
accord of both tho political parties in the
Territory, and in compliance with express
permission of Congress-her Constitution,
which has the assent and hearty support Of
nineteen twcntieths Of her peoples to be
made beast Of burden to carry the Kansas
Constitution-acceptable to no visible or
recognizable party in Kansas, made without
the consent or permission Of Congress, and
in defiance Of the expressed will Of an i'm
mense majority Of her citizens through the
National Legislature, over the heads and in
violation Of the wishes Of every honest man
in the Union! We. shall see how this plan

Republic ,nism and Despotism-will work.

We gather the following facts from the
report Of the State Auditor Of this State,
for the fiscal year ending November 1st,
1857. The total receipts into the State
Treasury, including the amount on hand at
the commencement of the year, 10 $255, S27-
IS. The disbursements during the sumo Pc
riod were $24l, las 05, leaving . balance in
the Treasury Of sll,ls2 20. The total lia-
bilities Of the State are >293,S43 90. Its
estimated resources for the years 1857 and
1858, are $953,77l 96, which does mot in
clude the school fund ($36,90S 75,) as that
is not considered strictly State resources.-
The estimated expenditures for the same
time, will be $523, 4l2 70, which leaves a
balance in the Treasury Of $3.50, 259 06, on
the presumption that the State revenues will
all DO paid up. The appropriations to charit-
able institutions are a. follows: Insane
Asylum, $lOO,33s 4s; Deaf and Dumb,
81 900; Institution for the Blind, 1922;
Penitentiary, $24,sl7.
