The Legislature does not develop
much ability as yet, though the able
men arc supposed not to have had q fair

Ryland, the Speaker, was n Douglas
man, and the Union men have n firm
hold as majority in the Senate; though
there is a great advantage in the House
for the Democrats, for two or three
members may be sick or over joyful and
not affect the ruling Power, which is

taken place here since the Legislature
convened. Every new State, hereafter,
ought to seek for its largest town, as the
Capitol. The people here, however, are
exceedingly genial and polite, and ask

night, will be the finest dance ever
danced, and held in the most beautifully
decorated Hall ever draperied.
If we have no worse weather, no more
storm than on this day, the grand Pioneer
Railroad excursion to the Summit will
take place on Saturday, and constitute
