A Slow' Legislator.
- Mr. Chase read petitions, on Thursday of
last week from citizens of` this county for a
repeal of his little peddling law - of cast win
ter. These -Petitiops were sent from here
over five weeks ago. Four weeks'-to read a
petition; and six weeks to offer a bill, seems.
ti:o be Mr: Chase's qu'ickest rate of motion,
when working for the public. If a dozen in•
dividuals get up a private petition for their
own benefit he could of course continue to
act more promptly—on the ptinc,iple we sup
pose. that small b"dies are easily moved.—
How long it woi:Td - take him to procure the
passage of a bill of public impel tance,would be
a hard question to determine. In fact we
think that event would not occur, until the
people had decided to keep him at home.=

Admission of Kansas. -
The question of admitting Kansas into the

week that a committee of conference had
been appointed in the Senate, and that the
House bad Agreed to one. The House corn
mittee consists of English of Indiana,.(Anti

Wednesday last, when the Senate bill was
returned to the House with the Montgomery
Crittenden amendment stricken off , Mr itt nt

a tie vote—the „Speaker voting. 'Mr. English
then moved that wcommittee of coderence

The opposition papers are mourning over the

istthe settlement of the question by the adop
tiun of the tecomption Constitution, which
now seems quite probable.
jar" We publ6h.-d a statement, .o.me time
since, signtd by I). F. Brundage-and' a num
ber of others, purporting to be an account of
the disinterment and examination of the hotly
of Wm. Aicher late of Ararat. &me time
after, we - received a communication without
.date, from a person of whom we knew noth
ing,' charging that said statement as published
was not a tine one. As the communication
was mostly personal, and did not give a defi
nite account of the affair,' we threw it aside,
and thought no more of the snljects About
this . time another statement of the dis-inter
inent was published in the Republican,..bui
was not sent to us. Our attention was called
to the matter recently, by .one of those
interested, who informed us that some of
people in the neighborhood, felt that justice
'was hardly done, them. We learn that the
gentleman who wrote us the communication
is peifeetly responsible, but we do not \ guite
understand why a statement similar to that
which appeared in the - .Republican, with the
names of those present-attached, was not sent
'to us. This would have given both parties a
fAir'hearing, which was just and proper. The
contruierted point - seems to, be, od which
sidi:of the Epinal l column did the.fatal ball
enter, and-was any bone or bones struck by
it in its passage f This is a matter of trifling
importance in itself, except so far as a ques--
tion of ve , say arises between parties, which
we are inforined has excited much interest in
neighborhood. Having ourself no p
the er

persons engaged in the controversy, we of
course are entirely free from any just charge
of favoritism in the matter. If any oversight
was committed it was in riving publicity

• We bare received a copy- of a pamphlet

gotten op by David 'Wilmot (or the purpose
of explaining away ' some of the reasons fo r .
abolishing this district. It is entitled his
"defence," and as wet noticeseveral etatetnerns
which ate calculated to deceive those not ec•
quaihted sy r ith affair's here, we will notice n
few of them. - I ' - -
Mr. Wilmot says plat his speeches made in
court " were not violent, - bet temperate. and
free fzem-personalitik i " Now we submit the
question to all candid men who have heard
his speeches 'shears this statement is_net
false—utterly false.ilf Mr. Wilmot's speeches
have not been of a yiolent character, no such
thing a's violence ests. That they were " free
from personalities :1 no one who heard them
eiMemisistently and truthfully assert. He at
temps to evade the charge of being ill the
"constant habit" of making speeches in court,
by saying that be has'not done so every- week
of all his different courts! He further says
that he does not l retnember having made a
speech in court during the- last two years.
Of averse, while Judger Bullock was on the
'bench.he was of, and did not have a chance
to abuse his positien, and at our last term, he
did not dare make, a speech.
- lie attempts A& deny that he has charged
the supreme courtiwith being corrupt. Eve
fl body here knolls that Ire has taught his
followers to belielje that their decisions-were
dictated by the ";slave power ;" if this is not
charging them s9tb corruption we know of
tio way of doing it, directly or indirect!y.
Of the Neirton ca e, he gives what we believe
to .be a garbled statement. - lie - says that the
true "facts of the rise" were nut made known
to the supreme cot rt when his outrage was
reversed. This ili• a senseless evasion. Mr.
Newton had the customary "paper book"
made out, to which Mr. Wiltnio responded
in the same way. Illis explanation of striking
Mr. Newton's narriefrom the roll of.attorneys,
is asl range one. I He says that he was afraid
0 ,
that Mr. Newtoni would be unable to pity a
fine, and that to imprison him would be to
disgrace him; he itruck him 'off arthe lightest
punishment! Queer logic, that. Just as well'
might a poor man be stripped of fifty dollars,
bad n o I
n
because be nee o more, and the loss would
be small. ' Wrirlt an inhuman principle is
here sadyoeated I .i—dooming a poor man to
starvation, by forbidding him to labor, be
cause he is poor! The act was directly contrary
to law, and Wifin l ot knows it, and does not
attempt to justify it,' but tries to explain away
the-outrage in al way . that only makes a bad
matter worse. •Wilmot asked members of the
Bradford bar far charges in writing. They

we have publisqd, yet, when these are pre--

the writers are not responsible! If they are
not responsible , he Should not have noticed
them lie ouly, di-encera that they are not

which he cannioft meet • .
• Mr. Wilmot* main effort is in .weeping
over the awful outrage that would be perpe
trated upon this constitutional rights of the
dear people. 11:Iis heart bleeds with svmpa
thy for them, lest their sacred constitutional
rights shall be,ttaken from them by the ruth
-Jess band of the despoiler. ln their name he
protests against this attempt to deprive them
of the right ofi suffrage. When he took the
stump fur Guiernor last year, it WM - . their
flea then io tilect a judge. Why did they
- not du it i Who took from them by design
this great privilege about which Mr. Wilmot •
howls so piteojisly.? David Wilinot himself.
- Then they wee mere tools, and a judge could .
be forced upon them and they moot not utter
a word of cuniplaint. Last winter a judge
was forced 4pon them by ' appolutment,
against . the pet ition of the Bradford bar, and
again they _must submit without a murmur.
But now he 9ddenly discovers drat the dear

then it- will] be time to guard against future

little less than false, and is based upon the
