No wonder the London booksellers thought
it unadvisable to publish book that in every
way widely differed from the spirit and feelings
of the English" or that Bettine herself should
consider that "the poet being not 80 beloved
and comprehended in his whole grandeur by
strangers as by his native land, the English
would greatly be inclined to constrae +" this as
"the most affected or also incomprehensible
passion in the child"
Scattered through the book are many anec.
dotes of distinguished persons, whom it is de-
lightful to see off the stage. All Bettine, if we
could only be sure you were speaking the truth
True or questionable, however, you are, it must
be confessed, rather charming.

SENATE.

Sundry reports from the Court of Claims
were referred to the Committee on Claims.
Several bills were introduced, and referred.
Mr. Rice gave notice of his intention to in.
troduce bill providing for the temporary Gov
eminent of the Territory of Dacotah.
The Senate then adjourned to Tuesday next
HOUSE.
Mr.. Perry offered resolution, that from and
after to-day, until the organization ofthe House,
by the election of a Speaker, no member shall
speak more than twenty minutes, nor more
than once on any question before the House,
until every member who desires to speak be
heard, and all motions to lay on the table shall
be decided without debate.
Objected to by several members.
Mr.. Boyce, of South Carolina, commenced q
speech on the pending issues between the North
and the South.
Mr.. Stanton, of Ohio, denied that the Repub
lican party made any war upon the institution
of Slavery. He knew of no Republican who
wanted to change that clause of the Constitu-
ton which gives the South a three 6fths repre-
sentation for her slaves, or who denied the con-
stitutional obligation to surrender or permit
the recapture of fugitive slaves. There were
differences of opinion as to whether the States
or the Federal Government should fulfil that
obligation. If it were an original question, he
would hold that the obligation rests on the
States, but the law of 1898 showed him what
was the contemporaneous construction of the
Constitution, and therefore he was ready to
concede the constitutional power of Congress
to pass fugitive slave law. he did not be-
lieve the law of 1850 was constitutional in all
its details and modes of operation. He wanted
q law that, while favorable to the STAKEHOLDER,
might not afford facilities for the kidnapping of
persons who are not slaves. He pointed out
what he regarded as the Unconstitutional fea-
lures of the bill. Among these was the be-
slowing of judicial powers upon United States
commissioners, and the provision that certain
records should be deemed to be genuine, thus
preventing the introduction Of proof to show
that they were or might be forged. He knew
that in Ohio the present law Was grossly abused.
A man had there been arrested, having in his
possession propositions from parties at the
South, stating that if he would furnish descrip-
tons of free negroes, they would find owners
for them. The Republican party did not pro
fess to say that q fugitive slave law in subordi
nation to the Constitution is not constitutional,
but they opposed the law of 1850 a. unconsti-
tutionai He thought Northern States would
do well to pass laws providing for inquiring by
State courts as to the authenticity and legality
of process under which alleged fugitiyes may
be held.

MINNESOTA REPUBLICAN SENATOR. = The
Legislature of Minnesota on the 18th elected
the Hon. Morton s. Wilkinson to the Senate of
the United States for the term of six years from
March 9TH, 1859, in the place Ex-senator Shields,
whose term expired at that time. The vote
stood Wilkinson, 70; Shields, 80; Gov. Cor
man, Il four Democrats absent.
The election of Mr.. Wilkinson gives great
satisfaction to the triumphant Republican party
throughout the State. The contest for the NOM
ination in caucus was animated, but in the best
feeling. Senator Wilkinson has been citizen
of Minnesota for ten years, and resides at Man
kato, in the southwestern part OF the State,
section strongly Republican. he took on active
part in organizing the party, served several
terms in the Territorial Legislature, and was
nominated by the Republican State Convention
two years ago for Congress.

met with an accident, while riding on q FESTIVE

alarm in Milan; but letter from his medical
attendant removed all apprehension. Further
evidence of the slight nature of the injuries Is
found in the fact, that on the 7th instant the
gallant general was married to the eldest daugh-
ter of NJ. Raimondi, an Italian patriot, who
possesses one of the most beautiful of the resi-
dences on the lake of Como. In l848, M. Raj

A GREAT CHANGE OF SENTIMENT.


One of the most interesting and remarkable
signs of the times is the sudden abandonment
of the idea of dissolving the Union among the
leading politicians of Virginia. Ex-Gov. Wise,
Mr.. Mason, and Mr. Pryor, who belongs to the
Hunter wing of the Democracy" in that State,
declare that the Union must be preserved
while the organ of Mr.. Bolts, the Richmond
Neps goes further, and says, that" If, how
ever, we are to Judge the action of the Republi-
can party by their professions, we must come to
the conclusion that Republican Administra-
ton would not be the 'raw-head and bloody
bones which we have been taught to anticipate
by the lamentations which daily 60 up from the
Democratic party in view of such a terrible
catastrophe. In order to afford our readers,
who, like ourselves, have been terribly frighren-
ed by the hideous visage of this political mon
ster, who, if Mr.. Wise is not elected President,
(God save the mark J.! will be let loose upon the
South as a roaring lion, seeking to devour
everything that savors Slavery, an opportunity
of learning for themselves what are really the
principles upon which this party proposes to
administer to the Government, and to what ex-
tent the institutions of the South would be en-
dangered, by such an Administration. The
following is the address issued by the National
Committee" Here follows the call.
1t is due to truth to say that Mr.. Bolts and
his organ have all along been loyal to the
Union, and it must be gratifying to them to find
ex-Gov. Wise and Mr.. Pryor forced to take the
same position,

IRISH FEELING FOR THE PoPE.-A decided
manifestation in favor Of supporting the Pope's
temporal authority is in progress in Ireland,
where the great majority of the people are
Catholics. Not only in Dublin, but in various
other parts of Ireland, have public meetings
been held to express the attachment of Ireland
to the head of its church, and of sympathy with
the Pope under his present and threatening
difficulties. Offers of actual physical aid are
literally made, and there would be no difficulty,
it is said, in raising new army of Irish volun-
teers, $4,000 in number, to augment the Papal
army. The feeling against Napoleon, for his
presumed coalition with the enemies of Rome,
i decidedly strong in Ireland.

THE NEBRASKA DELEGATE.

We are glad to see that Samuel G.. Daily,
Esq. of Nebraska, is here to contest the seat, as
Territorial Delegate, which the Federal authori.
ties of that Territory have conceded to a man
of their own stripe. We understand that Mr..
Daily has the clearest evidence of his election
by majority of the legal voters. These con-
tested cases should be among the very first
things attended to after the organization takes
place. A vicious and most unwarrantable prac-
| tice has grown up, of permitting contested cases
to lie over until the second session, under dila-
tory pleas and false pretences that evidence
cannot be procured. 1t is in this way that
usurpations Of the Representative function are
tolerated by the majority in Congress, in viola.
ton Of the Constitution and of popular rights.
The contested seats should be disposed of at
once.
1t is net improbable that Mr.. Dailys active
exertions in behalf of the measure for the ex.
clusion of Slavery from Nebraska had much to
do with depriving him of the certificate of cleo
| ton. We learn that he introduced into the
Territorial Legislature bill having that object
in view, year or two since, and has been an
active supporter of the measure, thus array
ing against himself the bitter luminosity, not
only of the Pro-Slavery party, but of the
Pro-Slavery Federal authorities of the Ter
ritory. 1t will be seen elsewhere, by the
article we copy from the Nebraska Republican,
that the Secretary of the Territory, appointed
by Mr.. Buchanan, could not restrain bolster
Gus demonstration of his Joy at the defeat of
the bill in the Council, although especially call
ed upon by his official position to observe the
rules of decorum. We could not expect such
man to be an impartial judge of the validity
of election returns, in which friend and op
ponent of Slavery were concerned

TIE DIsoRGANIzERs.-Mr Haskin, the Anti.

New York, gave utterance to the following
plain truths last week, in the House of Repre-
sentatves

speeches already from the gentlemen of the
South, proclaiming secession doctrines in GER
tain contingencies, which doctrines have been
applauded by the galleries, if this Southern

fill them reside employees and recipients of
Government money. They are, it seems paid
the peoples money to appear here and insult

the hospitality for which the South has always
been celebrated, and not such treatment as this

The Final

Never was campaign more nobly con
Quoted on the Part of Republicans than
the present. Everywhere our friends
worked, organized and htumphcd. In
every part Of this State, especially, the
necessary work has been c~heerfully and
effcctually done. Abraham Lincoln, in
consequence, is about to be elected Pres
ident. But as he will get but few votes
in the Slave States, his enemies are pro-
claiming in advance that he will be a mi
nority President. If that should prove
to be the fact, he will not be the first of
that class of Presidents. The present in-
cumbent was elected by a minority of the
votes. But there is a fair prospect not
only of giving Lincoln the Constitutional
majority of Electors, but the moral power
of a majority of all the votes polled. Let
US in Little Potter do our share towards
securing to him this moral power. Let
us make immediate arrangements to bring

the Slave Power, by giving the largest
majority of any county in the State in
