IL, That Kansas should, of right, be
Immediately admitted as State under the
Constitution recently formed and adopted
by her people, and accepted by the House
OF Representatives.
Il. That, while providing revenue for
the support of the general government by
duties upon imports, sound policy requires
such an adjustment OF these imports as to
encourage the development of the indus
trial interests of the whole country and
we commend that policy Of national ex-
changes, which secures to the working
men liberal wages, to agriculture remune-
railing prices, to mechanics and manufac-
turers an adequate reward for their skill,
labor, and enterprise, and to the nation
commercial prosperity and independence.
l3. That We protest against any sale or
alienation 10 others OF the Public Lands
held by actual settlers, and against any
view of the Free Homestead policy which
regards the settlers as paupers or suppl
ants for public bounty and we demand
the passage by Congress of the complete
aud satisfactory Homestead measure which
4as h!iSauy HNSstu Tue IlOHsE.
Ia. That the Republican party is op-
posed TO any change in our Naturalization
Laws or any State Legislation by which
the rights of citizenship hitherto accorded
to immigrants from foreign lands shall be
abridged or impaired and in favor OF
giving full and efficient protection TO the
rights of all classes of citizers, whether ma
tive or naturalized, both at home and
abroad
10. That appropriations by Congress
for River and Harbor improvements Of a
National character, required for the ac-
commodation and security Of an existing
commerce, are authorized BIZ The Consti-
tuilon, and justified by the obligation OF
Government TO protect the lives and prop
erty of It's citizens.
rs. That Railroad TO the Pacific Ocean
is impera1vely demanded by the interests
OF the whole country that the Federal
Government ought TO render immediate
and efficient aid in lis construction and
that as preliminary thereto, daily Over
land Mail should be promptly established.
II Finally, having thus set forth our
distinctive principles and views, we invite
tie cooperation of all citizens, however
differing on other questions, who substan-
TALLY agree with us in their affirmance and
support.
SUPPLEMENTARY RESOLUTION.
Resolved, That we deeply sympathize
with those men who have been driven,
some Of them from their native States and
others from the State of their adoption,
and are now exiled from their homes on
account of their opinions; and we hold
the Democratic party responsible for this
gross violation Of that clanse of the Consti-
tuition which declares that the citizens of
each State shall be entitled to all the priv
ileges and immuniies of citizens in the sew
eral States.

etr We have heard fears expressed that the poor
prospect for crops, in this section Of country and
the probable scarcity Of money consequent upon
this, WILL perhaps keep many persons from return
ing their children to school here, who would GER
tany otherwise send them We can hardly be-
ieve that this win be the case, at all but certainly
not with those whose children are advanced, and
will be too old to re-enter school in year fromnow
Education is Of such vast importance that Il ought
to be conferred children at any possible cost or
sacrifice; and no parent should, fora moment think
Of interrupting or Withholding it. because its cost
may put him to little Inconvenience. We can
scarcely believe that any intelligent father would
do this, but If there are any who contemplate 1t,
we beg to advise them to abandon the unworthy

GcA- The track has been laid on the railroad be-
tween here and Russelville TO within less than five
miles of the latter place. and between Russelville
and Bowling Green the gap to the latter is only
about the same distance and they closing up
daily on both sides; that in ten fifteen days it
will be finished, and railroad communication be-
tween GAINESVILLE and Louisville accomplished
On the lower side of the river from this place, the
work is progressing rapidly. About seven miles of
track have been laid down from here and below
Palmyra there are eleven miles laid. Between Par
is and Tennessee river most Of the grading has been
done, and the whole distance will soon be ready for
the track. The whole road, from this place to Par
is including the Tennessee river bridge, told
by good authority, will, barring accidental delay,
be finished by next March or April, thus opening
through communication by rail from GAINESVILLE to

tween Paris and the river have prosecuted, and arc
still pushing the work forward in a manner that

DeA. On Wednesday afternoon, last, we had the
pleasure, in company with Col QuARLEs, President,
and our aeghbor of the JEFF, of trip on the cars
out to the Edge6eld junction, and thence over the
Memphis Branch road some ten miles to point
within seven miles of Russelville The afternoon
was very pleasant one, and this, with the exha-
rating ride, and the agreeable companionshp of our
distinguished friends rendered the trip exceedingly
pleasant and agreeable. We have before spoken Of
the substantial manner in which this road is con-
structed. 1t seems to us to be all that could be
wanted in that respect The bridges over Elk Fork
and Whppoorwill are elegant structures, of the
kind known as FarRs Bridge. They are very light
and elegant in appearance, and yet evidently COM
bine with these qualities great strength. The track
is laid to point within four miles of Russelville,
on this side, and is completed near the town on
the other side. In two weeks this gap will be
closed.
Returning to town, we had most delightful run,
though, on account of the Edgefeld Fast Express
Passenger, Plank and Cross-tie train being behind
time, we did not arrive here till nearly Pm.
We must not omit to make an acknowledgment
for the civties and attentions received from Pres
ident QUARLEs and Conductor CAIN, on this pleas

peA- The fifth session of the GAINESVILLE Female
Academy will open on next Monday, and continue
until next June, with only short intermission at
Christmas. We have already noticed Mr.. Malone's
accession to interest in the establishment and can
only add, now, that he has entered upon the active
duties of his position which are the control of the
boarding and financial departments An impor-
tant addition TO the faculty has been made in secu-
ring the services of Rev. j. B. West, as instructor
in Ethics the science of moral and social train
ing. This, all must admit is Il most important fea-
it does the cultivation Of correct moral principles
and good manners. Mr.. West, we are confident,
will fill this important position with credit to him.
self and to the institution.
Another important acquisition to the faculty is
the securement of Mr.. j. b. Killebrew, Professor
of Mathematics This gentleman has but few, il
any, superiors, as mathematician; and he is said,
by high college authority, to combine every element
requisite to success as teacher.
Miss Eliza Adams, a young lady of thorough
capacity for the position has also been added to the
faculty. as teacher of the Natural Sciences; and
Mrs Gum, principal of the Primary Depart
ment--Miss IIenne Adams having been transferred
from that to the Preparatory.
Miss Carrie Bent, young lady distinguished in
Boston, as a vocalist and Miss Matte Moore, have
been added to the corps of musical instructors.
The other teachers remain as heretofore and W,
sorry that have not the space to give cacl
the special mention they merit. Doctor Ham
iton, of course remains at the head of the school
and we may safely say that in the Academy, h'
presents to parents and guardians an institution

offers for female education.

p9xA- The census of our county, as our readers
know, is now being taken under the law of Con-
gress and Of course the census of the city will be
embraced in it as a part of the county; but that
will not be taken separately. In this way we will
be left in ignorance of the population and other sta
tistics of the city. We wish to call the attention of
the city council to this fact The census of the city
is an important matter just now, and the council
ought TO attend to having it properly taken with
out delay II the U. $. Marshal for this county has
gone too far in his work to make up the census OF
the city separately, the council ought to employ
some competent and reliable man TO do it. Tn y
