tutons of State or Territory.
"Resoired, That the act of Congress, known as
the English Compromise bill, having referred the
whole subject of the admission of Kansas to the
decision of the people thereof, we do without re-
gard to former differences of opinion, accept and
abide by the reference, and cannot but deem any
attempt to revive the agitation of that subject
in National politics, as violation of the spirit
and intent Of the Kansas Nebraska law and dan
gerous to the peace and integrity of the Union.

and pledge to him and his Administration the ear.

Pacific coast.

that it belongs not to the Congress of the United
States. but to the people themselves, speaking
through their own representatives to say whether
they do Or do not desire to exercise such rights.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT FURs,

Some interesting facts relative to the fur
trade OF the Hudson Bay Company are related
IN the correspondence of the New Hampshire
statesman. The furs and peltries of the COM
pany comprise the following varieties: For Of
several cOlors; black and brown bear: sable.
otter, lynx, beaver, raceoon, mink, muquash,
wous fur seal, martin, squirrel, and ermine
Ihe most important in the list il sable of
which about l25, eco are collected by the com
pany annually, In England the sable was
always held IN great estimation; wreath of
oiack sable which was presented to, Henry L.
10 10 tne early part OF the eleventh century, by
the Bishop OF Lincoln, costing no less than
tl00, which in those days was an immense sum.
ihe Russian or Siberian sable is most es-
teemed, being softer and more silky than the
american. Russia produces about q. 900 of
them annually. The price corresponds to the
abundance and glossy blackness of the upper
coat-a high garment not unfrequently costing
S-1O. Ihe civic robes OF the Lord Mayor and
Corporation OF London, which, according 10 the
Munlsipai law and long usage, must be worn
on state occasions, which are very numerous,
are trimmed with sable. Nearly nine tentbs
ot the American satle skins Amounting 10
$4,000 annually, forwarded by the Hudson
Bay company, are sent to Franco and Ger.
many where it is greatly admired for ladies'
wear.
Of martin skins, the Compauy patbered in
one year Ia 900, and the French FREQ traders in
Canada exported 80, 525 of them in the same
year.
The most valuable among the varieties of
the fox are the black or silver,-a single skin
often commanding at Wholesale 900, aud even
SoUO About 1000 Of them are collected an
nuaily by the Company, and nearly all to 20 to
Russia and China for Innings and trimmings to

Ihe FUR OF the sea otter is used for a similar
purpose, and for caps, collars and robes. About
lo,OOO or 10000 are collected annually, and

Europe, and are dyed and prepared for expor-
tauon to this country. Wolf skins 90 to Rus

often commanding fifty guineas, now seldom

The FASHIONS for Novemh.r

lie Follet says: With respect TO mater;aIs
for walking dresses, thicker and warmer ter.
tures are now appearing in great varieties.
Plalds are very much in favor, both in poplin
and In woolen fabrics. Satin, tsffetas, and
velvet are also much worn The skirts also
are worn very full, and while some are made
quite plain, many are seen with two, three, or
more Hounces, and double skirts cannot vat ha
considered as discarded.
we sui hear that the jigot sleeve will be
worn this season; it is quite certain that
sleeves closed at the wrists, with turned back
euhs, are very generally adopted
DARK eoiors are, OF course, much worn at this
season-green, blue, gyoseiYe, drab iron Grew
and brown; but above all especially i'm silk
dresses-black appears to be in favor
Evening head dresses arc usually made either
Ia tne form OF caeae-pSIgHe or q diadem
Flowers are very much worn in the hair. and
are always accompanied with great deal Of
foliage.
BOnnets are, in general, worn larger than
nney we're last year; Feather trimmings are
very fashionable. Many white bonnets are
trimmed with colored velvet. The mixture of
white and black is still considered G,stinpne
straw bOnncts have lately been trimmed with
crimson, green, or Napoleon blue velvet. Mar
lgold colored velvet is exceedingly becoming to
some complexiOns, but should be mixed with
black Jonquil color is also very good, and
lhe mixture Of terry velvet and plush il ex.
tremeiy pretty, and seems much likely to be
worn this winter, as will also satin; but at
present silk, royal velvet, terry velvet and
even Grape are most worn. These are gem
orally trimmed with black lace aud narrow
velvet, with flowers of feathers. Small bou
quets, wreaths and bows are still worn across
the forehead, although not now the grand
mode; but they require much skill in the
placing, also in the choice of color.
The autumn mantles are high and mostly
made with wide sleeves. They are nat on the
shoulders, with wide lace nd the pelcrine,
which reaches to the waist. The lower part is
set IN large plaits, widening towards the bot
tom. The Grand Duehesse is four yards and
three-eighths round. This elegant cloak should
be trimmed with lace half a yard wide, and is
Certainly the most elegant mantle of the sea-
son. The sleeves are very wide and long,
reaching nearly to the bottom of the cloak.
Fur viii be worn during the winter as trim
ming for dresses as well as cloaks.
