before the Legislature,, proposing the terms of

We have: not had. time to examine the bill
elosely end do not therefore pronoune
opinion of its merits.
Will Wilmot leave the Bench'
This is a common inquiry hereabouts, and 1 ,
One not Vet satisfactorily answered. True, •
his parasites, immediately after his . nomina
tion for Governor, boldly. pioclaimed that he ;
'would resign.' the judgeship. and take the I
stunt! ; and. they 'have admitted that it I
would be grossly improper for him to cling
,to a judicial offive, while making violent ex
ertions to place himself in the executive chair
of the commonwealth. - But he has not to
our knowledge, publicly intimated what
course be will pursue; and we are therefore
left to conclude what bisection will be, froth
what we know of the man and Lis towering
ambition. - That the matter has been ptivate
ly, but thoroughly* canvassed by him and
those in his confidence is highly probable;
acid it is re.asonaMe to infer that they ,have '
already determined Whether this demagogue
clothed with judicial _ power, shall outrage 1
public sentiment Ili remaining on the Ben -13 ..
41.nr-ifig the excitine political contest that is
now approaching, or respect that sentiment
and resign. One of ,the projects they have
had in view, is something like this : To have :
Wihnot re=ign the judgeship, but not early
enough to admit of au election to fill the va;
Tangy thus Occaroned, the present year; in
which case the _Governor would appoint.—
Then, if defeated, they might 're-elect him .
Judge a Tear from the -coming Fall. They
fancy, and boast that they are sufficiently
numerous in this district to execute any dis
honorable and infamous scheme they may
choose to plan ; that they can and will pro-1
ride for this man WilmoE"tgence their read
iness
to adopt the base'poley above indica- 1
ted, cannot be doubted, providcd . their pro
fessions of strength are the index of their-real
sentiments'. But they must . have salacity
enough to see that this path is tortuous and
beset with difficulties ; fo: if, the.' appointee
should-happen to be a man' of influence and
possessed of some ambition, he might be au
daCious enough to contest Wilmot's claim to
:le-election,mui thus breed a quarrel in the
family. Upon : the whole then, we are of the
opinion that the velem' of this judicial dis
ttict, will have presented to them the loath- .
some . spectacle, of a hungry demagogue,
clinging tenaciously to the ermine he soils,
while struggling vigorously to clothe himself.
with executive power. -Those who are thor
oughly acquainted with Wilmot's- past ca

noted 'die selfishness which has ever charac

for Fillmore electors as well as fur. Fretnont
electors. A complete fusion of our political
foes was effected. Opposition to democratic

this combination and declared our hostility
to both its proscriptive and sectional features.
Now, because . we quote fiom a straight-out .
Fillmore organ, able and convincing articles
:against sectionalism, a paper which suppor

accuse us of fraternizing with the Fillthere

we see fit, give our readers the benefit of
them, without stopping to inquire whether by
so doing, we siriject ourselves t'a the slang
of a black republican editor, who has vainly
essayed to secure the influence of those jour
nals for his mongrel party. Now let us . see
what position this Editor, whet is alarmed
lest.we should become prescriptionists, occu
pies towards the foreign-born and catholic
citizens of the country. Under. the flaming
declaration " Freedom National;; Slavery
Sectional," he hoists the name .of David`
Wilmot for Governor. The convention which '
nominated this 'unrivalled deniagogue for
that station deliberately resolved against`the
catholic arid man of foreign birth.
.True, its
declarations op this subject are verrdeli
cately worded, but the ungenerous and in
tolerant spirit which dictated and pervades
them is spfliciently-manifest. -In Harrisburg
At few day's ago, an assemblage of Wilmet's

Letter 'coin Kansas.
Under this imposing caption the Republi
can of last week contained a letter - dated,
"Lawrence, Kansas, April, 1857.," and pur
porting to have been written by a son of Cu!.
Asa Spicer ofilarford, &settee Co., Pa. It
is a bit interestinipiper,antfrom it
we make the following extract.
We. have intelligznt a peoPle in Kan

have good society made up of the first class
of citizens of the oitlerent Northern Stat.3.s.—
No better can be found in the Uuion-- . -all

The announcement' that. the citizens"
are " all. peaceable and friendly" is verr
gratifying to thole a Lose ardent wish
it • Las always been :‘ that; order might
reign in Kansas, and that her peaceful and
well disposed settlers ..might enjoy unmoh!st

regret that-" :1 1 1 united in the common cause,"
wean! , urgaaized resistance to the legal au
thorities and a deterinination to refuse all
participation i-nthe election for delentes to
form a State Constitution. We can hardly
believe with the letter writer, that enforcement
of the Territorial laws will result in"civil war
and a dissolution of the Union."
