"Hs Mr.. Weeds In the meantime Of The Err
press have question for The TRIBUNE. Did IL oppose the
election any Of the Republican Senators and Representatives
who voted for the Albany ra,calites"
No, we did nOt-why should We! We had no
proof, no belief, no suspicion, that they would vote
they did in Oyerruling Gov. Morgan's vet es.
But let them come up again, with these votes I'M
repented of, aud see how they will fare Anybody
may be cheated once.
Now it is our turn to ask a question: Mes
seurs of The Express have you ever published the
Yeas and Meas on the corrupt measures before our
last Legislature, with the politics of the several
members so marked that your readers could see
just what ton of Republicans and of Demo-
Gratis voted for and against those rascaly schemes
If not, will you no~ so publish them Can you

The Baltimore Sun has discovered or invented

a new Southern grievaI ce-to wit:
significant fact that the Free States closed territory
to the citizen of the South with his slave property while every
Slave State Is free to the citizen Of the North with his property
This inequality is always existent, and always sgans! the
South"
of course, it will have to be corrected. The
Democracy, in its devotion to Equal Rights"
but especially to " the Rights of Property will
have to undo this wrong. Since every Northern
man is free to migrate with his property to any
Slave State, why should not Southern man be
free to migrate with has property" into any
Northern State, and there be protected in the en-
joyment of that property" We defy any cham
pon of the right to hold slaves in the Territories to
answer

,ho xvas invited to seat the stand with nm' put
into lis hands che following QUESTION "nion no ""'
most respectfully requested to answer III inc
ha remarks, The Judge receiving 1t Ut was oeior'
he rose TO speak read it very atsntivey and resumng
he conversation with the gentleman who offered IL,
-especfoy acquiesced in the propiety OF the question:
and PREMISE TO reply TO it in the course OF Dis speech
"Wu JUDGE DoUGIAs be kind to oblge
by stating before the people here assembled his
following
"Do YOU hold and elected President of the United States
would Won carry out doctrine that the people OF Territory
before beeom State have the power, under the Federal
Constitution and notwithstanding the bred Scott decision
prohibit or ereiude Slavery thsyefrom7
:" In other words:
"Do YOU affirm that the people of Territory have the Con't'
tuona right to crush the cocatce as these are
dpo.ed by the prOpagands of Slavery or must they
tolerate the incubation and dit til The eggs become tV groom
and rp that be pursued and eIternaed only by
the newly created sword Of State authority
With this question before him, which he prom
sed to ans ser the Judge arose and addressed the
pie for an hour and half but for cause or other
sou can Judge what as well as Ihe not only did NOT
answer the QUESTION, but very carefully ar0'ded all
aRusiOn tot! / merely give you the Jaef, with no
comment of my own preferring that you will bestow
sucb reflections upon il as csndor and fidelity to truth
REQUIRE. But it seems to me the public should know
hot questions Judge Douglas refuses to answer, and
conjecture as best they may the reason h he chooses
to conceal his opinions on that most interesting
point.
1t is quite probable that the Judge will make
other speecbes in different localities, and as it is
possible that he forgot to answer the question above
gwen, it may be well to hand it up to him again
and again, until he shall have found time to an
swer it.

dead near Pilot Knob, near that city. From
the state of the body he was supposed to
have been dead, when found, from four to
six weeks. A gunshot wound was diseov-
cred, entering the left cheek, and passing
out near the base of the skull. Tie man
was apparently from twenty to thirty
years of age, but no clue as to who he was
has yet been found. The Times, in remark
ing upon it, says: ''Such cases have be-

names, ages and sexes of every family, as
well as the products of every farm the
number of acres under cultivation, and the
number of all the kinds of stock upon it.
These questions should be answered prompt
", and as nearly correct as possible, and in
order to do SO, it would be advisable for
every head of family to write down the
answers in advance. Farmers especially
should, in their leisure moments, prepare
accurate statements of the number of acres
of land they may have under cultivation,
the number of bushels of different kinds of
grain, the quantity of hay, fruit, etc., they
produced last year, together with the num-
Der of horses. cattle and other stock they
