well do without our eastern ally. But must

tookin the iats election, In giving its influence
to Senator Donglaa. as It hnques,ionahly did, in

Il is now positively stated, on tho authority ct
the President, that Secretary Cobb is preparing

feel my confidence that the Secretary will yield

from removal. Having utterly estranged
the Northern Democrucy, and not possessing, ut
best, the confidence Of the Sooth, if Mr. Cobb
now exctes the active hostility Of the latter, lie
certainly will b. crushed between the upper tasu
tile pe,her Mi1istones. II is believed that lle will

A Hard Case for q IIusband.-An Incl.

In thc discussion on amendments to the divorce

In accordance with these resolutions. E.
hughes and Dr.. Johnston started for plsste City
yesterday morning, aud arrived at their desti'
nation about * O'Clock, F. n:
The Committee went Immediately to The house
Of the Circuit Judge. whom they met at his gate.
The pRrties entered at once into conversation
relative to their busines1. The Lsavon1orth
Committee explained their purpose, stated that
they Represented The sentiment Of our city. and
handed to the Judge the resolutions as gwen
above.
Tho Judge gays them . careful parusal aud
appeared TO be satisfied. he then proposed 10
70 over to the oftice Of the County Clerk, and
examine the evidencs upon which tho prisoners
W. -

We arc assured by both members OF the com
| tnittee-E. Hughes and Dr.. Johnson-that lbe
! evidence had no word or line eliminating Dr.
| Doy or SOL .....
But two men testified against the paieoners IN
| their preliminary examination 1t Wektou. and
| their testimony Was of the eh8l1oWest and most
fitnsy nature. Accompanying the zo.ca1led evi-
denca WAS protest from Dr. Doy, IN which 10
| ,naintolns his right to be tried in h-nsas, IN
| which he protests against hix Infamous arrest
and outrageous Incarceration. He makes bis
noble protest in the name of citizen Of kanaas

Lodges himself amenhb1e:
These facts were pointed out and forclbly
dwelt upon BY our COMMITTEES to Judge Nort2p.
Tbs Judge, il reply, aekaou.edge9 that Dr. DoJ
aud son had bten illegally arrested, but further
| stated that they we're now in the hands OF pro-
| slavery men bY whom they should be tried, ad-
ding I've quite his words, that " all the powers
