If that was what WHS contemplated by
the Inw, little need was there for this
large expenditure for the purchase of li
quors—the payment of six or eight hun

fifty dollars a year rent for a room, to say
nothing of the heavy expenses of his hon

have the be«t authority for saying that, so
far from running the county in debt, a

their own clerks, and pay the county at
least 81,000 a year, for the privilege of
such a monopoly.

ST. LOUIS,
On the third day there was also a stormy
session. Col. Young, of Boone Co., charged
Major Rollins, of the same county, with wri
ting a letter advising the Whig delegates to
withdraw. The charge was investigated and
pronounced unfounded.
A platform was then adopted to the fol
fowing i ff, ct That the agitation of the
Slavery question in Congress or the several
States must result in a dissolution of the
Moneyed Associations for the purpose of
i Colonization in Kansas is unprecedented in
history, and is an attempt to thwart the pur
poses of the Constitution and the enactments
of Congress, that these Colonies will necessa
rily lead to resistance, and while they dis
claim any intention to interfere with actual
i settlers, the^ will protect themselves and
i property. Eighteen border counties in Mis
i 80uri contain 50,000 slaves which will be
i valueless if Kansas becomes the abode of
Abolition fanatics. They appeal to the good
sense of tne North to put down fanatical ag
gressions and emigrant aid associations, and
leave Kansas to a natural settlement.
A Committee of Five was appointed to
publish an address to the people of the
United States setting forth a history of the
Kansas excitcment. A copy «f the same and
the resolutions of the Convention were order
ed to be forwarded to the Executive of each
State in the Union.
Resolutions were adopted calling on the
Missouri Legislature to legislate within the
Constitution against the products and mer
chandise of Massachusetts and those North
ern States practically nullifying the Fugitve
Slave Law, and that the welfare of the slave
holding States and the interests of the Un
ion require the enactment of a law in mid
States suppressing Abolition and Free-Soil
publications and opinions.

some d.iys from an attack of dy**ntery so
severe as to lead to the report that he bad re
signed his command, he bad been gradually
progressing to convalescence until the 28th
of June, when alarming symptoms
developed
themselves and after a few hour's struggle
he expired.
Lord Raglan, or, as he was better known
for so many yeats, Lord Fitzroy Som rs«t,
was the youngest son of the fifth Duke of
Beaufort, and uncle of the present Duke.—
He was born in 1788, and was consequently
in his sixty-eighth vear. The Somersots are
of tho proudest and most »ncient blood of
Britain. To travel back to the source of
their origin would be as hopeless a task as to
penetrate to the fountain of the Nile. "Two
centuries ngo," we were told, "no prouder
man was seen in England than the then Duke
of Somerset, who had the highways cleared
before him that he might n3t be looked on
by vulgar eyes, and who rebuked his second
wife for tapping his shoulder with a fan, say
inc. 'Madame, my first wife was a 'Percy,
and she never took such liberty."
In the good old times when Lord F. Som
erset made his debut in life, there were no
of privileged plunder. Many Colonels of iu,y

the Deputy Quartermaster-General who fol
lowed the colors of the 23d from Wa'cheren
to Waterloo, has only recently acquired.—
If tho young aristocracy of England were
with cruel injustice raised over the heads of
many brave veterans whose brows were
bronzed by many suns and scarred by many
battles, it is but just to them to say that
when called on they have not blanched at the
cannon's mouth, nor ever disgraced tbeir
lineage or their country and among those
who sleep at Inkernian and Alma are not a
few whtse ancestral bucklers hav- fla^hotl st
Agincourt and Cressy, and in whose veins
flowed blood which had been shed in earlier
fields ot glory. In this sj.ir Lord Fitzroy
Somerset was present ftt every one of the
great Peninsular battles, llis rank, as is
ever the ess", at onco recommended him to
the Duke of Wellington, then Sir A Welles
ley, who w.ts but too happy to attach to his
interest the powerful family of the Bmuforts
by naming him on his staff, and afterward
raising him to the post of Military Secreta
ry. In this capacity he served through the
whole war, exhibiting on every occision sol
dier-like abilities combined "with fearless
courage. Ho was twice severely wounded,
nnd lost bis right arm at the farm of "La
Haye "Sainte," on the day of Waterloo.—
When after that groat engagement the cur
tain fell upon the wars of Europe, Lord
Fitzroy Somerset was appointed, in addition
to other honors, Secretary of the Embassy Tw^a^ou?homs is intended for tho

whither he was sent to oongratulate the late
Emperor Nicholas on his accession to the
throne. In 1819 he was appointed Secretary
to the Duke of Wellington, Master-General
of the Ordinance until 1827, and in 1827
was made Millitary Secretary to the Com
mander-in-Chief, the functions of which of
fice he performed dnring the reign of the
several Commanders-in Chief down to the
death of the Duke of Wellington. On the
death of the Duke, the commander-in-chief
was, much to the disappointment of Lord
Fitzroy Somreset, conferred on Lord Hard

serve under an offioer of similar standing to
himself, was appointed Master-General of
the Ordinance, with a Peerage, which he as
sumed under the title of Lord Raglan, the

one of his ancestors, held against CrouiweL,

During the evening session on the second
day of the Convention at Lexington, Mo.,
great confusion prevailed on the subject of
President Shannon's address. Finally the
thanks of the Convention were tendered him
and a copy of the address requested for pub

a great general. Lord Raglan was just that
character of a man which the English system
in its best form boguts. Trained in every
step to refer to memory instead of exercis

unruly monster like Sibastopol stands across
the path and will not be trodden down to
order, the country cries and the press thun
ders for head, preferring even the rude
Felissier befere Lord Raglan.
Lord Raglan was above the middle hight
and of ordinary, one might almost say vul

to say, by a certain romantic air which bis
loose armless sleeve gave hiui, a^manner most
gently and courtly and a disposition singu
