~ Several of our citizens, on Fri
day evening last, performed the feat OF
swimming the Missouri River. They
started In at Lunsford's, on the opposite
bank, and made the shore on this side, a
short distance above the landing. The
distance swan, was about half a mile.
Rather ticklish experiment, when the
rapid, uncertain and treacherous current
of the River is taken into account.

CARRYING Our HIS PRINcIPLEs.- The
Democracy of DOniphan County will be
happy to learn that at least one of their
Delegates in the Constitutional Conven-
ton is determined to carry out the fun
damental principles of his party, to the
extent of his power and ability. That
Delegate is Wrigley. at the beginning
of the session, motioa was made that
the Sergeant alarms be ordered to fur
nish the desks of the members with bot
ties of mucilage. Wrigley moved to
strike out mucilage. and insert Whiskey!
There being a majority of Republicans
in the Convention, they refused to adopt
the corner stone of Slave Democracy. 1t
is supposed that Wrigley inserted the
whiskey, after the Convention took a
recess !

Democracy ruining the country. Now,
the Empire cannot show that we ever
said or insinuated that the Democratic
party would do that thing. In fact, we
are of the opinion that the running of the
country is harder job than any party
can perform. Still less have we fears OF
the Democratic party, when we remem-
Der that they have been trying their best
to ruin the country, for a number Of years
past, and do not seem to have made
much progress in the work. If there
were any such thing as ruining the coun-
try, the Democratic party would have
discovered and adopted the plan, long
ere this.

BIENNIAL SEssIoxs.-We see, by the
Constitutional Convention reports, that
biennial sessions Of the Legislature are
favored by some members. For one, we
hope that biennial sessions will not be
engrafted in the Constitution. They have
proven a nuisance in those States which
have adopted them, and the people are
tired of them. In Ohio, there is an
amendment to the Constitution, to be vo-
ted upon by the people, in October, for
returning to annual sessions. There is
business enough for a Legislature to trans
act every year and when it is left to ac-
cumulate for two years, and the time of
the session is limited, great deal Of i'm
portant business is neglected or sighted.
In such States, extra sessions are called
about every second year, costing as much,
or more, than regular annual sessions.
The State officers and Senators should be
elected for two years, and the Represen-
tatives for one year and the Legislature
should meet annually.
~ Among the list of Hotel arrivals
in St. Louis, on Friday last, as publish
ed in the Republican, we find entered on
the Monroe House register, the name Of
" Sol. Miller, Kansas" As we know
of no other person of that name in the
Territory, we conclude that we must be
the chap. We are extremely happy to
imagine that we could raise enough of
the "spondulix" at one time to carry us
to St. Louis, although we have no recol-
lection of having been there within two
years past. We believe we did dream,
one night last week. that we were in St.
Louis-we may have gone there in our
sleep, registered our name, and returned
home a" before de broke oh day !" But
here a question arises: Did some chap
stop there in our name, in order to give
himself character or did he want to cut
on his bill, and leave it to our credit?

i.NIGGER DEALER KILLED.-A negro
trader named Wright. probably the one
who said such sharp things to Horace
Greeley was murdered last week, near
St. Joseph, by negro whom he had
bought in Gentry County, and was tax
ing to St. Joseph, in a buggy. to ship
South. 1t is supposed that Wright had
stopped to pull off his shoe and stocking,
to attend to a letter on his foot, and that
the negro, seeing pistol protruding from
his coat pocket, seized it and shot him
He had large amount of money in his
pocket, which was undisturbed. Wright,
although engaged in a business which,
we have been so often told, is detested in
the Slave States, is yet represented as
having been respectable man. The ne.
gro only did what we presume Wright
himself would have done under similar
circumstances. A reward of 81 900 has
been offered for the arrest Of the murder
err, and the entire country is in pursuit oil
him. He will probably be caught; and
if so, will doubtless be punished in a
summary manner.

Late adviccs announce the death of THOMAS
DE QUNCEY, one of the most prominent and
popular of the writers of England. The work
which first gave him any marked distinction
in literary circles was the I" Confessions of an
"Opiam EHcr, " in which, among many details of
his singularly varied and romantic life in his early
youth, he narrated the whole history of the forma-
ton, progress and effects of the terrible habit to
which he had become addicted. He portrayed so
wildly his fearful sufferings while endeavoring to
break through the charmed circle of its influence,
and painted in such glowing colors the gorgeous
visions that surrounded him while wandering, for
long hours, in the land of dreams, that the book
created an almost uneXampled sensation The
"CoWesslonS' appeared first, we believe, in The
