CE Senator Ballou has given notice thai
he will shortly introduce into the Senate res
olutions disapproving of a Congressional
slave code for the Territories. The present
, Lecompton majority in the Legislature have
been very willing to introduce political mat
ters into their proceedings, and surely should
not shrink from voting upon any political
resolution that might come up They were
very bold on the resolutions censuring David
| C. Broderick for his vote on the admission of
Kansas, although it was we'll understood that
the resolutions were of purely political
character. Senator Ballou's Resolutions are
also of purely political character but it
remains to be seen how this eninently politi.
cal Lecompton majority will meet it. Pro
badly, they will be afraid to vote. Very like
ly they will try to indefinitely postpone the
resolutions or stave them off in some way
or other so as to prevent a vote on them.
Should they do so. let the people rest satisfied
that the Lecompton Legislature are in favor
of Congressional slave code for the Terri
tories. If they are not. let them show it by
voting for Ballou's resolutions.
We predict that they DARE NOT meet the
question. A refusal to vote on the resolutions
will be a virtual acknowledgement that Con.
gross ought to pass slave code for the Ter
ritories.

"RsSOlUed That so long as the Constitution oi
the United States provides that all persons held

other State SHALL BE DELIVERED UP on the claim
of the party to whom the service or labor may be

American Union and its Constitution, with all its

was also adopted:
"Resolgea, That we the people of Chicago, re-

council of Chicago upon the subject of the fugitive
slave law passed by Congress at its last session"
1t only remains for me to state that the same
city council assembled on the next night, and re-
pealed their nullifying resolutions by vote of
twelve to one"

The Lecompton Organs on Congress
s;ouaI Slave Code.

II makes but little difference what the Le-
coon.on orgaps in this State say about the
nronosed slave code for the Territories
Whether they are in favor of this code or
not the leading politicians on their side are,
and have committed the Lecompton party to
that doctrine by their recent speeches in the
Senate of he United States.
Still it is amusing to see the houndering Of
some of the Lecompton sheets on the ques-
ton The s. F. National is about the boldest
of any in the expression of its views, ant
the extent to which it goes is, if we under
stand it Alright, that whenever it becomes
necessary to have Congressional slave code
it will be in favor of one. The Democrati,
Standard desires to avoid the issue, and de-
clares that it is not a living one At tht
same time it declares that Douglas is wrong
The Mountain Democrat feels exceeding tick
lish over the business, and hopes that th'
Democratic party cU not spill! 1t cant be
made to take sides either way "We pur
posely abstain" it says, from espousing eth
er side of the question, for we will not ado
fuel to a flame which all good Democrats and
all Union-loving men, should unite to extin-
guish" Afterwards, it says; Southern men
must be cautious and not press their claims
to misconstruction or n'isiaterpretdtion OF
the Kansas Nebraska Act, lest the charge OF
seetionalsm, which they have so often, in
times past hurled at the North, like chick
ems, come home to roost"
The italics are ours. The intimation is
pretty strongly thrown out in the the latter
extract. that the views of Senators Brown,
Davis 4 Co. are a n,iSconStruction or misin-
terpretdtion of the Kansas Nebraska Act-
The intimation is well founded, but then the
Mountain Democrat will have to be whipped
into the traces, of course. Dan Gelwicks'
head is right, if he would follow its dictates,
but he is SO mortally afraid of being called
a BLACK Republican" that he cannot do it.
Though he well knows that the cry of "Black
Republican" is mere trick of the enemies
of true Democracy, he yet breads it. There
are others in the same category.

when the stage had reached point one and
half miles from town. Git being very dark
at the time) the horses suddenly ran against
some obstruction in the road. Freeman d

AN AUTHOR TO BE A BARoN-A new claim
ant for the ancient Irish title and Baron of
Inebiquin is about TO appear, says the New
York Times in the person of Mr.. Fitz James
O'Brien of New York On the death of the
last Marques of Thomond, Sir Lucius O'Brien
brother to the distinguished patriot Mr.
Smith OBrien, assumed the title of Lord In
chiquin without authority from the Heralds
College or the Crown. The consequence
has been an order from the Crown prohibit
ing this gentleman from appearing at Court
under any title but that of Sir Lueius OBrien.
These proceedings naturally awakened inves-
tigatiOn, and Mr.. Fitz James OBrien has lust
received letters by the Prince Albert, inform
ing him that immediate steps were being ta-
ken to establish his claim to the vacant Bar
onetcy. Mr. O'Brien is one of the contribu
tors to the Alta ntic Monthly.

Rhodes, Esq, better known nnder the nome
de plume of "Caxton," formerly the able edi
tor Of the True Californian, in San Francisco
has been employing his leisure hours in Orc
vile, where he now practices law, in writ
ing a play called the Mormon Prophet,
which he designs to bring out at one of til,
theaters in San Francisco. 1t is full o
scenic effect, and is written with all the wei
known ease and graceful style of Mr.. Rhodes
The scene relates to Mormon life, as its nam
denotes. 1t is asintensely exciting as "Sybil,
which in some respects it reseTlbles.

"ANxIE LAURIE.-Mr. Robert Chambers
says the verses of this song, which are in a
style wonderfully tender and chaste for their
age, were written by Mr.. Douglas of Find
land, upon Annie, one of the four daughters
of Sir Robert Laurie, first Baronet of Max
welton, by his second wife, who was daugh-
ter of Riddle of Mimic. As Sir Robert was
created Baronet in the year 1885, it is pro
bable that the verses were composed about
the end of the 18th century. 1t is painful to
record that, notwithstanding the ardent and
chivarous affection displayed by Mr.. Doug
las in his poem, he did not obtain the heroine
for wife she was married to Mr.. Ferguson
of Craipdarrech

so fierce and terrific as at Chicago, where | had

and the pulpit had Joined in the work of misrepre-

passed resolutions denouncing the fugitive slave

not to obey it. The next night meeting of two
thousand people assembled and in that meeting.
