BY a peep into our state exchanges this
week, we note the following facts;
The Middlebury Register opens with n
leader upon the European war 1t seems to
mistrust the honesty Of Louis Napoleon very
much, and evidently looks upon him as ca
pable OF stirring up tempest at short mo-
tce. The Register also has an article on
the admission of Oregon-t welcomes her
n state, and thinks she was justly dealt by
but condemns the principle Tor want of
principle) that excludes Kansas.
The Brat,leboro Phoenix continues the
Oregon question. 1t cannot sanction the
admission Of a state presenting constitu.
ton with such outrageous provisions The
same paper has n sensible article on the cleo
ton of County Commissioners
The Woodstock Standard interests itself
in New Hampshire politics. 1t says that the
Republicans shave the victory in their own
hands" and we hops the result next week
viii verify the statement.
The Burlington Free Press is indignant
at the INSCRIPTIONS character of The pro
slavery democracy as exemplifed in the Ind
lana senator cusei ard probably truly says
that bright aud Fitch had no more right to
be Ia the United States Senate as Senators
from Indiana, than any other two men in the
state had, The Free Press also shows how
the al rolorem system OF collecting dutir,
are made to work against our country.
The Burlington Times Of the Goth inter
ests itself 10 the MouSt vernon movement
and urges an acknowledgements ia ,ari
state to obtain contribt No. hi, patriot,
purpose. 1t also has just dvz7FReiation OF
the Presidents thirty million scheme
The Burlington Sentinel IS particularly ia
bilant over the admission of Oregon, nnc
halls it "a a triumph Of The democracy !
snys the public mind which has been 81
ticrcely ngitated by the acts Of reckless op
position, on bleeding Kansas is regaining

Tho Washington Murder.


We give our readers this week the par,ic
ulars Of a horrid tragedy at Washington. 80
II occurred last Sabbath afternoon, twhat
time for such deed y in the most public
place at Washington. Mr.. Sekles, the muir.
dcror, is the vellknowh democratic politician
and member Of Congress from New York
city. His victim was Phillip Barton Key,
also a prominent democratic politician, and
holding the Office OF L. S. Attorney for the
District of Columbia. The provocaticp was

stions Of all the parties viii giyp to this oe-
eurrenee wide noioriety and much Importance
A contemporary, in whose judgment and reli,
ability we have perfect confidence, says that
Mr.. Siekles hos never been regarded ns q
model Of all the domestic virtues and II his
wife had acted upon the principle that oni-
mated him. in this matter, and on which he
will rely for aequittal, she would probably
have killed more than one woman before this
time And Why should she not have equally
yindieated, by the revolver, the purity Of her
marriage bed Can any Of Selsles' yindiSa-
tors tell US why?
Oar New York correspondent shows this
matter in its true light Being for many
years a resident of the same city as Mr..
SiekleS, his StatSnsnt may be relied upon.

The Moral Effect of tho Paraguay
Expedition.

As might have been expected, our hostile
expedition ogains, Paraguay exciies the jeai-
ousy and hatred OF the South Americans
generally. A correspondent of the philadel-
phio Ledger on board the U. S, brig Dolphin,
of the. feet writes from Bucnos Ayres that
it is doubtful whether the governments Of
the Argentine republic and Of Paraguay and
Buenos Ayres viii allow our feet to pass up
the river through their TERRITORY 10 reach
Paraguay. He snys;--
Until recently these neighbor powers were
loud in praise Of los Norte Americans (ihe
North Amer:cans.) You mus: remember
that these folkspre exceedingly jealous Of the
title American, and take considerable UNI.
bragg at our assumption OF sueli a national
designation. Uiiila few weeks ngo they
spoke highly Of US, but their tune has since
markedly changed. One knows not whether
il is the sympathy of blood that operates to
eulis; men in the cause of their prosecuted
c0ngeHe,S, or whether they are Influenced by
the threats of wholesome chastsement which
-opr Journals unreseryedly promise to all the
republics of South and Central
America at the hands of the present expcd-
dition, and which are translated into good
Spanish aud circulated throughous these
countries IA fast as each mail arrives. Ger:
tain it is that, whereas n month ago We could
enlisted ten thousand volunteers in this one
state for service against Paraguay, il is now
probable full Rs many will be disposed to
assiss her. Strolling along the streets, ones
ears are often saluted by anythUg b2a compli-
mcptnry references to the fllihusters Of the
North, and auyaAng@huL heahhful prayers
for their future"
