latter is a movement of . r. Grow, of this
State, who deserves great lanks for his',
promptness in•the matter. . .
__A -bill has been reported to4le Senate, l
.from the Committee of Finance, ilowing I
the issue of Treasury notes to the r dtpount
rof $12d,000,000, as a remedy for .the \ e-
Ipression of revenue caused by the money
- panic. It is an administration scheme)4
I and will doubtless be adopted by Congress
—it has already Passed the Senate.
Se' Governor Walker has been induc
ed to resign. So. the fourth, Governor of
Kansas, has broken down in attempting
to carry out the administration scheme of
waking Kansas a Slave State,
We submit that it would be wise to
abandon a . , scheme Which such men as
Geary and Walker arc unable. to carry
through. Is there any body in this coun
ty now, NV.IQ believes that Buchanan has
improved upon Pierce's administration in
Kansas affairs ?
Since tho above paragraph was penned,
we learn from Was h ington that President
Buchanan has declined to receive the let
i ter of resignation of Gov. Walker, and
will not permit it to be placed among the
archives of the nation. The truths of the
letter are too vivid to meet the approba
tion of our Czar President—therefore he,
having the power, refuses to let them ap
i
i pear, on the national witness-book.• We
are also, informed by the same adviees that
the President will make further use of his
• "power of revenge,". by the removal of
Go, Walker. We hope the letter of
Co. W. :yill be directly presented to the
National if.',;qate r diseussiOn in connec
tion with the Kati:-;!s policy of the Presi-1
dent's Message. The let;,er is a^ able
rantatiou of the : unfair and utistastnan- 1
-like views and assertions of that dorm
ment ; as is also the recent speech of Sen 7 l
atOr Douglas on the subject, •
Social Affairs.
All who attended the agreeable soiree
at the Methodist Parsonago on 'Monday
night .of last week, will, we think agree
1 with us in the desire to promote a great
er degree of social intercourse among onr 7
selves in this place. •We are well aware
i of the difficulties in the way of doing this.
We know all about the cliques aq a geteries
vimieh have:formerly existed. We know
that our private residences are too small
tq furnish 'accomuiodatiOng for so . many.
We know, the. labor and trouble it costs
the ladies. All these .things and MGM
too, we know i and to discuss them we
hare undertaken this article. All will
join us, .we believe, in the' effort as well
as in the desire, to remove them.
We begin, then, thus ; Mau js. a eitielai
