TIT. . nn.lor Inn im- to tote upon iu " " : ATI that it devolved opon the Legis lature to pas. wch laws, to apply to the Territory. In the State where we -.Mad heretofore, snch things were pro rided for by general law. and this seem. to ns to be the only proper way to ao u. There can certainly be nothing to prevent .i-TnSUtnre from enacting general law to apply to this matter. But whether it ii to be done by the liegisisiurw ur the Counties, it is to the interest of the farmers to attend to the matter at once. Since the above was written, petition. hve been pnt in circulation, in this vi cinity, and in other part, of the County, praying the Legislature to pas. snch a law ii we have spoken of above. December 4th, 1857. . Mr. Milleb Sir I have received bot one paper for the last three .nwnths, snd now I want it stopped, for I don't believe in paying for a paper when I do not get it JOHN J. FISHER. We have bot few words of comment npon the above, and they shall be plain. Mr. John J. Fisher signed hie name to the prospectus for our paper, and ordered it sent to Pleasant Valley, Jones County, Kehraska, where we have sent it regular ly, securely enveloped, and plainly direc ted, for jnst seven months. Xow, if Mr. John J. Fisher wants the paper stopped, let htm fork up what he owes ut for these seven months which, at the rate of 83 reryear, (not being in advance,) is just 91.75. If he does not do this, we shall continue sending him tlie paper, and if he is worth it, we will collect it off of him by lsw. If we find out he is not worth it, we shall be compelled to stop it, or go on the principle, " sue a beggar and catch louse." So Mr. John J. Fisher will please take notice, and " come to taw." We are not inclined to pay for the ras cality or negligence of Post Masters ; and if Mr. John J. Fisher " don't believe in paying for a paper when he don't get it," let him fork up for those that have been sent as he directed, and " stop the ball." We hope we are understood. tW Some persons seem to have mis apprehended our meaning in last week's article, in relation to giving away town lots. They take it that we recommended the City Company to give away no town lots whatever. This was not the case. On the contrary, we think it wonld be a very good plan to give lots to men who ex presses a willingness, if sufficient induce ments are ofTeied. to come here and estab lish some useful and necessary branch of manufacture, busines or mechanism, which would give character to the town, and bring trade here ; and we believe the Com pany have been willing to do this. What we condemned, was giving away lots in' discrimiaately to any and everybody who would come and build a house or live here, regardless of character and everything else, merely for the purpose of multiply ing the number of houses in town, and rendering the vacant lots apparently more valuable, and which wonld eventually operate as a draw-back to the place, in stead of as a benefit. XT" Senator Douglas' speech has had a powerful effect in Congress, against the Lecompton Constitution. Most of the Northern member, have deserted the Administration scheme, and sided with Douglas; and it is said that the President himself has considerably moderated. The Indiana Delegation, which had sided with Buchanan, waited opon him, and informed him that they could jro for the Lecompton Constitution no longer, after hearing the expose of Douglas. The Fire-Eaters at "Washington have threat ened to tar and feather Douglas. An attempt has been made to read him ont of the party, and efforts have commenced io crnsn mm politically. He will be retained as Chairman of the Committee sin rT1-! i '. n . .. ci.M,ries, dqi win De leit in a mi nority on that Committee.

Arthnr k Co., 103 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa, - The Lwublattb.- We tire it length ascertained whaVa done by the Legis lature. The acts are briefly as follows : They petitioned Congress to reject the Lecompton and accept the Topeka Con stitution. - They .passed an election . law. with heavy penalties for all kinds of electipn frauds. They passed an act to submit the Le comrJton Constitution to the people, to be voted npon on the first Monday in January, the day appointed for the elec tion of State officers under that Constitu tion, bnt at a separate poll, conducted by Judges appointed by three Commission ers in each County, who are to be ap pointed by the Governor. There will be three forms of ballots, viz : "For Con stitution with Slavery," "For Constitu tion without Slavery," and "No Le compton Constitution.' ' This vote is to be seat to Congress, as an expression of the will of the people of the Territory. They 'passed a militia law, and ap pointed officer, of the militia. And they repealed the Rebellion Act Most of these bills were vetoed by the Governor, but passed over bis veto. We think there was not much consistency in their petitioning Congress to receive the Topeka in preference to the Lecompton Constitntion, when the same objection may be nrged against the former as the latter; and then passing an act to submit the Lecompton Constitution Jo a vote of the people. The latter was a very good move, bnt they mixed most too many things together, that do not tally with each other." SoMETHiito Good is Nazareth. Chas- Blakely. of Iowa Point, the Pro-Slavery Constable of this Township, has been onsted from the place, and D. S. Chip son appointed in bis stead. It appears that the office is not an elective one, but has to be fillect- by appointment by the Probate Judge. Mr. Chapson was the Free State candidate, against Blakely, at the October election, and would then have been elected, had not the Judges of election adopted a rule which defrauded a large number of Free State men of their votes. Notwithstanding his boast that he could be elected to the office afNet as he wanted it, li. Unas " mere s many a slip," dee. There were some things k didn't think sbont. It seems hard for a " hero of the war " to be served so, but it can't be helped. He may think that a majority of the people should rule so the people think in regard to the Lecomp ton Constitution, which he is in favor of forcing upon them. It frequently Jiap pens that men get their toes mashed under their own dead-fall 1 "Bors. Do Yoc Hear That V The New York Dsy Book, a leading Demo cratic paper, contains a long article, which is highly commended by the Rich mond Enquirer, and similar Southern prints, the object of which is to show that an enemy of Slavery cannot be a Demo crat ! How do Northern Democrata like that especially those who are in Kansas, striving to make her a Free State ? If you conscientiously believe Slavery to be wrong, or are opposed to its extension, you are read out of the party, and can no longer bo recognized as Democrats. To this complexion your party is slowly but surely coming. The Ball. The Christmas Eve Ball was not so numerously attended as it might have been, but still there was a right goodly gathering, and no money was lost in the operation. All seemed to enjoy themselves highly, and the utmost hilarity prevailed throoghont the entire evening, me supper, u we may juugc from the expression of those who partook, was not the least part of the enjoyment of the evening. The Landlady of the "White Cloud" has a reputation for getting op nice things in the eating line. jt9Hon. Win. Montgomery, member of Congress from the Washington Dis- r!r Pannsvlrania.

There were two Montgomery elected to vn J Congress from Pennsylvania, in 1856, and they have both since died, tW The first Free State address ever delivered in White Cloud, was by Rev. C.

The, Tote ox thr Coxititctios.- 1 Wa have as -yet received but very few returns of the vote on the Lecompton Constitution, on the 21st. The object seemed to be, by drumming op and m porting voters, to poll as large a vote as was east by all parties; at the October election, in order to make it appear, at Washington, that the whole people had voted. But with the advantage of having had it all to themselves,, and nothing to prevent illegal voting, they have proba bly made a poor out at it At Iowa Point, some 130 votes were cast At the October election, there were 112 Pro-Slavery votes. This i rather a poor show, all circumstances considered. "A couple of the "faithful" had a scrimmage on that day. : Howev er, we learn that it was not on account of politics, but about a bog ! Mem.

The American flag which floated at the masthead of the brig Enterprise, during the action with the British briz Boxer, in 1513, oil aionlie- gan, can now be s?en at the jewelry store. No. 46 Exchange street, lhe history of the battle, of which this is a relic, is this: On the 1st day of September, 1813, the United States brigEnterprise, sailed from Portsmouth, N. 11., on a cruise. Un the fifth day, after chasing one vessel into Portland, she fell in with the British brig Boxer off Monhegan, and captured her after an action of forty-five minutes. Early in the action. Burrows fell mortally wounded. ' Refusing to be carried below, and remaining on the deck, cheering on his men, he pointed to the flag of his country, proudly Boating to the breeze, and requested that it should never be struck ; and when the sword of the enemy was presented to the dying conqneror. lie clasped his hands and exclaimed, " I die contented ;" then, and not till then, was he carried below, where he breathed his last in a few hours, enveloped in the same flag that waved so proudly at the mast head. That old flag, once the winding sheet of that gallant roan, is preserved. Stat of Maine. Bank officers take people's money on deposit hoping to be able to pay it back when called Tor, but it unable they sus pend.

TIE SEW T0RK TBIBtSE-IWJ-f TIHE TRIBCNE was first Js-ued ss s Dai- JL ly onths 10th of April, 1 841. - lis Week, ly edition was commenced in September of the an me year; its Semi-Weekly in May, lM3w It was the first daily ia America to lass a doa ble or eight-page sheet st s low price, sad it has kept at least even with the foremost of its rivals In the rapid expansion of Newspaper enterprise, which the great extension of Railroad, and the establishment of th Telegraph system hav crowded into these last sixteen eventful years. No larger journal Is afforded at so low s price la any quarter or. in o won a; none in America, so matter at ?t price wsued, pays aa equal amount, weekly or monthly, for intellectual la bor. It employs correspondent regularly in ths leading capitals of Europe, and at the moat im portant point ea this coctincat. with a liberal stair of writers and reporters t home, regarding full, early sad accurate information as the first object of a Newspaper, and the timely and through elucidation thereof as the chief end of its Eu.:orial. In that spirit, th Trone has been and wl'l be conducted, extending aad per fecting its correspondence so fast aa th inereess of it patronage will justify the txpens. Should the current attempt to c&uiecl ths Old with th New World by ths magnetic Fire prove success fa', we shall very soon, at a heavy cost to owe selve, and, we trust, a cones ponding advantage to eur readers, publish each morning a ayrjopai of the preceding days hrooghowt Europe, Northern Africa and Western Asia, with regular reports of the markets, the monetary aa- puen ana narrest prospects Of miner curops. With a good atlas beside hira and his daily pa per ou hia fireside table, the American farmer or artisan within a day's ride ef the eitv mav then study each evening the doings of th civilised world throughout th day preceding; snd It seems hardly possible that anr who can read, but especially one who has children to educate, will longer deny himself the pleasure aad profit of a daily journal. The samo is true measure- ably of those who live limber inland: though, where mails are aufreqaant, s Semi Weekly, r even a Weeklr paner mav seem sufficient. THE TRIBUNE deala with questions of Po litical rm.r Pnhi; P..i;- r.u: Progress, and whatever mar affect tha' Intallaa. tual. Moral. Social and Physical wsll-being ot mankind, dogmatic Theology alons excepted. Its leading idea is the honoring of honest, useful ' Work in whatever sphere or capacity, and tha consequent elevation of the Laboring Class ia knowledge, virtue and general esteem. It is necessarily hostile to Slavery under all its ss poets, to Intemperance in whatever form or do-' gree with its sceessoncs, to Wsr sav In ths do fence of Country snd Liberty against actual in vasion, and to every form of Gambling, desiring to see Production 'extended snd encouraged, while wild Speculation snd useless Trifle are curtailed, it favors the policy of sustaining sad diversifying Home Industrrbr a diacriminatin Tariff a policy which tends to in crease th price of Grain to the farmer, while diminishing that of Bread to the artisan, by reducing the dis tance across which their respective products are exchanged, and, of eonrse, reducing the cost of their transfer. Regarding FUllbrjsterism is all its phases, and every form snd device of Ns tional core to nsn ess, with unqualified abhorrenc as the bane of Republics, snd in their triumph the grave of Equal Human Rights, we seek by every means to woo snd win the attention of our countrymen from projects of sggrsndixement abroad' to enterprises of development and benefit cence st home, foremost among which ws rank a Railroad through the heart of oor Territory to connect the waters of the Atlantic with thos of the Pacific. Believing that the goods of this life are not vet fsirlv distributed, and that no on ready to work should ever famish in unwilling idleness, it lends an open ear to every sugges- uon oi social improvement whicb does not counter-Tail the dictates of eternal Morality nor wsr upoa that natural right of vrry one to whatso ever he has fairly produced or honestly acquired, whose denial must sink mankind Into the chaos snd night of barbarism and universal squalor. With profound consciousness that idlers, drunk ards, libertines and profligates can never be oth er (in the main) than needy and wretched, it bears aloft the great truth that Prevention is bet ter than Punishment that the child trained sa in the way he should go, will rarely ia sfter years desert that way for the thorny paths of Vice-and Crime th.it s true Education Relig ious, Moral and Industrial as well as Intellectu al is the mostefTeetive temporal antidote to th errors and woes of onr race. Recognizing la th most degraded specimen of Humanity, a divin sparkawbich should be reverently cherished, aot ruthlessly trodden out, we have charity for all form of evil but those which seek personal ad vantage through the debasement of oar fellow beings. The champion of no class or easts, th devotee of no sect, we would fain be the inter preter to each other of men's better impulses sad aspirations, the harbinger of general eoocord be tween Labor and Capital , and among thos whom circumstances or misapprehensions havs thrown into unnatural antagonism. A co temporary c observed tliat be never knew a hard, grasping, niggardly employer who did not hate th Tri bune, nor a genuine, large-sooled, kindly oa, willing to live and let live, who did aot lik It. We ask no higher praise, no warmer stteststio. Th circulation of ths Tribune is st this tia aa follows: Daily. 32,000 copies; Weekly, 178, HOO copies; Semi-Weekly, l,OOe cop ies; California and European, 8,000 copies; Total. S30,soo copies. That of th Semi Weekly and Weekly, ws believe to b exceeded by no other newspaper published ia th world; that of the Ihuly rails benina uiat or som of our eotemporanes. Had our hostility to Human Slaverv and the Liquor I ruffle been mors guar ded and politic, our Daily issues would bow be some thousands heavier.and our advsrusuf Ear more lucrative; but of our patronage gtnerally we nare no reason, no wiau :o complain. Of late, s concerted effort has been mad t diminish our rural circulation through the influ ence of toe Postmasters, some of whom embark in it eagerly, others under political constraint; whilo a large number, ws are happy, for ths sax of Human Nature, to state, rsfu to be dragoon ed into It at all. sun, we nave been madst feel the heavy hand of Power, snd hsvs doubt less lost thousasdsof subscribers in consequence. Pretexts to which no individual in his private capacity would hav stooped, hsvs bees relied on to Justify th stoppage of our papers within reach or tneir subscribers and rightful owaer. snd their retention in the Post Office till their value was destroyed. Post Masters hsv bee schooled by rival journal several ef lhnt tir ing ea their self-proclaimed ability toeerve as aa antidote to the Tribune as to their political duty to promote at our expents ths drasemlnstiosi of gazette of ad verse politics. Ws shall oatliv this warfare, but we do not affect Indifference to It. In the open field of discussion, we fear noth ing; but ia the tens of thousands of rural neighborhoods where the Post Master can iadac " many of his quiet neighbors to take the joassal he recommends, we hsv ilready lost son pat. rons, and expect to lose mora &s oar subscrip tions for this year expire. W aprjeW, therefore, to the hearty, faithful, fearless sdvocates of Fre Labor snd Free 8eil throughout the land to tak ear that this official warfare on oar circulation be not prosecuted withoat eotmteractioa.
