Thus early are we favored with the first
spring number of Cooley, with its array OF
fashion and costume for the .Rower season.
Bonnets are not quite 50 far back, but
hoops cover more territory; the sleeves
yawn wider than ever and hands and arms
seem to protrude from great pillows stuffed
vii h cotton. We hoped to see the-s spring
fashions less expensive than the plates ex-
.hibit, but fashion is tyrant that knows

Supreme Laws seem to govern every
thing, from an empire to a saw mill, al
though some men are very sure that they
and not a higher po0et govern what they
seem to govern. A crisis, like a storm,
has its cause--its rise, progress and close; ,
human power can neither stop the Que nor
the other. Napoleon dreamed for many
years that he was master Of Europe-was
quite sure that lie owned France, and fl
nally awoke at st. Halena, scarcely the
master Of himself, He closed his career
in the arms of destiny, and in view of
events to come as Interchangeable as the
past. Byron too, thought that mystery
clad destiny led him forth into the world
and propelled him through it, and that
some dark chasm awaited him at the end
of his journey. They erred, for their lives
and fortunes were only governed by laws
severe but just. A result of law is not
destiny, nor is law destiny. Destiny is
an event decreed by the Creator before
the world was formed from chaos. Law
is a rule of physical action, resocabe or
ehangeabIe by counter law Or miracle
Herein are great men always deceived and
turned bottom upwards: once clothed
with human power, they seek natures
laws for a competitor; thus, when Blu
chanan undertook to reconcile freedom
with slavery-institutions as opposite as
the poles, he aimed at what was super
human. Thus too, Napoleon's : final
scheme, at which he failed, appeared less
a violation of law, but he found it as equal
" impossible as to reconcile the other
Napoleons Imperial, Republican, deSpot
ism was less of an impossiblity than Blu
ehanan's compounded Republic of negro
slaves and white freemen, negro lord arts
tocracy, federated Capitalization, sunker
state sovereignty and elevated territorial
sovereignty-eaeh and every one Of which
is an opposite 10 the other-vet the great
Napoleon failed This is lesson alapte,
10 the times. We hear men in enlight
ened Grant County talking about Thu
and that remedy for the evils of PAM,
and Of this and that way to solve the prob
lem (which is not a problem) of our IA
tional evils. Even our Legislature talk
of stay-lay and bankrupt law in aid o
these who violated fixed law by going il
debt more than they had any right to-
Our national Congress would reconcile
right in one man to own thousand other
with the right of another to only own him
self; also, of permitting STAKEHOLDER:
slaves, freenfen, whites and blacks to rul
together in the same territorial pasture
When God and devil 50 disagree, how ar
these to all harnonise!

SUGAR CANE SEED.

We notice that this precious and world
revolutionizing article of the farm has been
put up largely in packages of Que pound
and upwards, and is offered by advertise
nent in Dubuque and other places, for
sale at the exceeding low, self-accommo-
dating and otherwise selfish rate of one
dollar pound When it is considered
that sugar cane grows seed as profusely on
the stalk as broom corn, and can be saved
with as little labor, the public eyes may
open wide in establishment at the bold
strike of miserable conclave of specuia-
tors. The sale of Indulgences to commit
sin by Tetsel was in day of thick fog and
darkness and people possessed of eyes
could not see, but in these days of intelli
gence, Agricultural Periodicals, Farm As
sociations and Colleges, such an infamous
conspiracy as this one of gathering sugar
cane seed and hawking it off to farmers al
the enormous price of one dollar pound
is darker and exhibits more foe than Tet-
sells day.

Double Dealing on the Kansas
Questions.
WAsHINGToN, Tuesday, Feb. s

WASHINGTON, lueSQay, rep. ..
A double game is being played on the
Kansas question. The President is con
stantly assuring the Northern Democrats
privately that he knows the Free-State
Legislature to be returned elected Cal
houn, who ostentatiously declares that he
has not seen the President, is constantly
assuring the Southern men that in any e
vent the Pro-Slavery men will have the
control of the State.
The game Of the Lecomptonists in the
Senate is to stiAe an investigation of the
frauds, and so they voted down Douglas
resolution. to-day,est it might be rendered
impossible for anybody to countenance
them. They are trying to keep matters
straight until they have got every Demo
crat committed that they possibly can /;
then, if it is found absolutely necessary in
order to gain the measure in the Senate,
Calhoun will return Free-State Legisla-
ture, although he has said that he would
make 10 return till after Kansas shall have
been admitted But it is intended, still
To return the Pro-Slavery State Ticket SO
that the Governor can veto any legislative
act calling new Convention.
Calhoun yesterday,in effect, proposed to
return the Free State Legislature if Harris
would withdraw his resolution, which be
declined.
Harris is in consultation with Orr to.
night, relative to the selection of the Spec
ial Committee.
1t was Soaring, and not Seaman, who
voted with the Lecomptonites yesterday,
promising to vote against them if Harris
would modify his resolution, as he did.
The Senate Committee on Territories
will meet on Thursday. Kansas will prob
ably not be reported back until Monday.

been repeating the Lords prayer, was OBJ

ney, who raised the shout of buchanan
and Freedom in Kansas before the cleo
ton Of 1857, openly charges Buchanan
with treason; be daily in bis paper pro-
nounces the traitors doom upon all who
agree with the President Popular Soe-
ercignty, that great patent medicine nos
truna which confessedly carried Buchanan
into the White House, is ignored, kicked
out of e party in Congress, except by
Douglas and his twelve disciples. There
publican members, who never had much
faith in the efficacy of that nostrune, are
the only ones that Douglas can rely upon
to help him redeem his promise to ''let
the people Of Kansas regulate thor own
institutions IN their oaon acay, subject only
to the Constitution Of the United States.
II is well known that Douglas says to his
valiant Black Republican friends, "Gen-
tlenen, congratulate you, and | would
to God that more of You had been elected
and fewer Of these traitors to sanctitied de-
mocracy."
In The face of these statements, known
by every reader Of Washington papers to
be facts, few men in the north remain
faithful to Buchanan. 1t may we'll be
asked, "why do men, claiming to be anti
slavery democrats-just as much opposed
to Slapery extension as anybody still
adhere,,to a party so opposite.' Why
not come out and 90 with party in soul
and spirit opposed to the whole machinery
of slavery? Republicans go as far against
slavery as reason and law justly; why not
join in with them? These are questions
We cannot answer; the eternal counsels of
Jehovah can scarcely answer, surely not
reconcile the matter. The Jews are per
verse people, somehow mysteriously wrap
ped in the DEGREES of destiny, but they
stick to the ancient faith; mystery and
destiny caunot account for democrats stick
ing to their party only in name without
faith.
Many democrats tell us they are done
with sbe party forever, but they embrace
not the working ones who promised SO
much if Buchanan was elected. Only
this week we were told by one that the
party VAS not TO blame for the work of
traitor, and he asked, sis christianity to
blame because Judas was deviIw "No"
we answered, "bnt most all the democrat
lie church in Congress are with Judas and
Buchanan" He answered that, could all
these events have been foreseen, he would
have cast his vote for Fremont-hoping
that Seward might be the next President

April judicial Election.

The term of Judge CotLren, presiding
Judge of the Circuit composed Of Grant,
Lafayette, Iowa and Richland Counties
closes with this year and his successor Is to
be chosen at the annual town meetings IT
April next. We hope the legal fraternity
will select one Of their ablest and most up
right specimens and recommend him for
popular support. We have faith in our
lawyers, that they would present the best
man of their number-one that could rule
them and at the same time have their con
fidence. We hope that politics will be
kept out of the issue. The political con
tlagration at present abounding renders it
altogether probable that all men will be
as one man in the future contest with ty-
ranny-then why care how any man
stands, so that he be true or the State
Rights question. The Judge of State
District Circuit has no power in political
affairs, only in incidental cases wherein the
question of sovereignty between the State
and Federal Courts may arise.
After the above was put in type, we re-
ceived the call, signed by Hon. n. Il. Vlr-
Gin and to be seen in our paper elsewhere,
for general Convention at Mineral Point
on the 10th Of March, to be composed of
Republican Delegates elected on the 18th
Of March by the Assembly Districts.
