The Natchez Free Trader gives us a new lea
IN the history OF Douglas. 1t seems, upon what
is regarded as good authority, that he was the
author OF the following resolution, which was
reported 10 the Mississippi Delegation at the
CINCINNATI Convention, by Committee (of the
Delegatlon) appointed to consider the subject OF
Slavery:
I'll. Resolved, That the National Democratic
party believe in the perfect political equality OF
the States, and that the citizens of every State
nave an equal right to emigrate peaceably to
the Territories, and to take with them whate yer
Is recognized as property i'll the State from
which they go, and there receive tor it ADEQUATE
se9ds projection that there is no power in Con-
gress or in the Territorial Legislature to exclude
from the Territories anything which is regarded
as property in State; but when Territory has
sufficient Federal population, lawfully ascer-
tanned, to entite it to one Representative in
Congress 4. e. according to tie present ratio.
sS,42oO it is the duty Of Congress to authorize
the Territory to form a State Constitution, re-
publican IN Its form, preparatory to admission
INTO the Union as a State, and that it is no con-
stltutional ground of objection to the admission
OF such State that the Constitution thus formed
either admits or excludes Slavery"
If 1t be true that Mr.. Douglas wrote this res
olutlon, and sent it by the hand of friend to
tne cincinnati Convention for private circua-
ton among the Southern delegates, the facts
should De known. The expression adequate
legal protection" is precisely that used by the
Aississlppl Senators in the recent debate, in
which they joined issue with Douglas. This
resolution is not in accordance with his sneech
at that time, nor with his Freeport speech, in
which he stated that "fhe people of a Territory
can, by lawful means, exclude Slavery before it
comes in as State"

HE GIANT FARMER OF THE WEsT-Mr. ia
cob Stra~n, of this State, (says the Rockford
Republican, has earned for himself the reputa-
ton OF the giant farmer of the West. Twenty.
seven years ago he came to this State a poor

continued to increase each year until he had
reduced over 10000 acres of land to state OF
cultivation. lie has one farm of $500 acres
and another OF 10000. He has usually en-
pioyed from 200 to 800 men, and large num-
Der OF horses. Every year until quite recently
ne mas stalled from 5000 to 5000 head of cattle.
ana kept other live stock in proportionate mum.
oers. In this twenty-seven years he has made
a fortune OF a million of dollars, and he is still
male and vigorous to enjoy it, He has one corn
neiu IN morgan County, nearly six miles long,
but has latteriy been curtaiing bis business. and
converting some of his real estate into cash

buRLINoroH UNIvERsITY.-The Winter Ses-
sion Of this Institution has just closed with the
usual examination continued through several
days past, and the Exhibition given last eve
ming. Notwithstanding the hard times and the
lack OF interest existing in our community in
the support and Advancement of Literary In
stitutions, We rejoice to know that this School
Is gradually growing into the confidence of the
people and favorably advancing in the degree Of
scholarship and character of its pupils. Pro-
fsssors ALLEN and ROBERT have been now long
enough connected with the University and well
enough known BY most in this vicinity to be
appreciated and universally acknowledged -
most worthy men and excellent teachers.
From the notice Of the Secretary, to be found
In another column, it will be seen that vsca-
tion Of two weeks commence to-day, and then
after this, on the Slst inst, commences the
Spring Session which closes the present Acade-
mic year Of the Institution. There 10 no doubt
In our minds, that School which has been SO
long and we'll sustained a. this has,-and that
through 90 many discouragensnts, not only in
adverse, but even too in prosperous times,-is
entitled now to receive the hearty, liberal, and
entire support Of the city and country, favored
with its location in their midst. We should be
glad therefore to see the Institution patronised
the next Session BY the attendance Of all the
sons and daughters Of Burlington and vicinity.
