Unquestionably the 'effect was. ex
tremely impres,sive. It might be of '
jected to as artificial ; but perfectly
successful aft has, it mug be allowed,
a certain power of captiva:ing, which
nature. _however rich, does net possess.
A stronger objection to Miss Bedfor(Ps
appearance and manner might have.
been that they were wanting in true
delicacy, and that the elegant defects
of timidity and weakness were too well
removed ; : but even as to that, you felt
that it was rather the confidence of ,
goad-breeding arid crutsmous rank, than
boldness of character;: that rendered
hie always so comprsed and easy ; and
trying to drag out the bashful beauties
that were everywhere t•r he Pound, you
felt it to be a great relief"to meet With
one who did not labor, by her silen c e
and daiduce, to reratr rcyot. rr . y all
her advantages, and did. not try your
patience by a bashfulness, wnieli vnu

not struck With her being at all above

extremely noble—large, well-defined,
yet extremely delicate. ..Her
com
plexion was beautifully fair ; it crm

of the heriti upon the shoulders, were

danger which I apprehended was
- that,-lon long accustomed to reject,

As provided by certain enact

Bogus Legislature convened at
this place on the lath inst, with
the Rev. Thomas Johnson as
President and Chaplain of tne
Council. Prayer' was oared by
the Rev. of Shawnee notoriety,
and then followed the roll list, ail
tne;members answering to their

latitude. The don. members
nameis Edward Chapman. N oth
ing of imporlanie occured in the
forenoon, the Hun e failing to
elect a. speaker. The Council
adjourned to meet -at 3 o'clock
Pursuant to adjournment the Hon
body assembled. A couple of re
porters were discovered, seated
on some pro-slaveryistovd 7 wood,
when the following resolution was
offered by Gen. Easton. "Re
solved, that reporters be admitted
within the bar, and the sergeant
at-arms furnish them with seats
and tables" Objected to by Gen.
Richardson, saying he was op

reporters, and of " old Horace

admitting him "just to see what a

was offered by Gen. Strickler;
that reporters tables be furnished
withio the bar. Carried. Thai
leaving it optional whether those
for the northern press should
come in. The House organized
at too late an - hour for t6e, Gov.

lowing day a joiiit dommittee
waited on his Excellency for the
purpose orreceiving - tlitt:tr_iXe,ssage
—it. was read in both H ouses;
accupying an hour and a quarters
time. When read the very men,
who the night previous, had de
clared in a pro-slavery Conven
tion, that if Geary and his mes
sage. was not right on the "G.

cheered it with clapping of hands
and stamping of feet. I enclose

—ln- accordance with a call in
the " Squatter Sovereign" the
"law and order," men assembled'
hero loot night to pums° end dia—
Cuss the best plan fur the exten
sion of Slavery. Gen Coffer
was appointed chairman PRO
TENT., and stated the object of . the
meeting. Dr. Stringfellow said,
"I want it particularly under
stood •that thiS is a pro-slavery•
Convention?" [cheers] " That
none but pro-slavery - men have a
right here "- [Cheera]. "No
•
man with the least spark of man-.
hood but a pro-slavery man .
would come here. We are go
ing to make this territory a slave
state." [Applause ] "If a Free
State man, Abolitionist, or blaek
republican comes here, they come
as spies and..traitors and should
be kicked out." [lmmense Ap
plause] After. speaking ift tne
above style for a season, the Dr. •
I took his seat amid shouts of ap
plause. •
The next on the flculas Ex-Dep
uty Marshal, Newsom f Tic latish
who said : .'have . ive come here to

here fur what we have so long -been

"law and order." mingled with cries
ssf "Newsum and imisance i ! runs

prevailed, and nuisance took his seat. -
Henderson of the Leav- Herald . de
fined "law arid order" by saying that
the party should truff tk. name of "law

of Pro-Slavery. Johnson of Leay. said
"Have you come here to shout Halle

you came here with the . snuffers to
snuff out your own light 1 - Have you
come here Mal with ietemperance
ruin your last hope 1" Speeches"
`-l - Made up in the style presented above
were loud and long during the eve.
eing, when a committee was.appoirit
ed to eleet permanent officers for the
Convention, but not.until it was de
clared that reporters fur Free State
