STEER STRAIGHT TO ME, FATHESl$ ,'

81* S. II. i. CLEVEtiXO.

A father rowing with his little son, touched at a small island, where he left him to awatt his return. But when he would have gone back to the child, a fog so dense shrouded the water so as to cut him off entirely from the island. Wandering long here and there, in despair of accomplishing his object, a sound froin afar floated to his ear, and he recognized the voice of his little child, "Steer straight to roe, father—steer straight to me." With this for a guide, the way so dubious was opened before, and the little boat soon reached the island for his rescue.

Sornedays afterwards thechildsickcnedand died, leaving the mourning and unchristian Itarent longing and as before to regain his ostone, but in despair as to the way. And then did memory bring back the dear chiles voice froin the lonely isle, andeagerly he obeyed the same voice now, that ever seemed calling him thus from heaven: "Steer straight to me, father—steer straight to mc."

While the "thimble-rigging" Fusion politicians are making a great ado about the Nebraska bill, declaring that measure consigned Kansas to slavery, the people of that territory are making it/ree under tho operations of that act.

proceed to the second question, which is one in which all the State is interested, but more particularly does it interest some of the citizens of Clark County. It will be recollected that the Legislature of last winter passed a law changing the manner in which the State's Prison should be governed. This law provides that the present Legislature shall elect certain of-

to take charge of, and superintend the prison. These officers have not been elected. The law contemplates that they shall be elected and enter upon the discharge of the duties of their office at the expiration of the present Lessee's lease, which lease expires next June, some six months before the meeting ofanother Legislature.

The reader will bear in mind that the law makes no provision for the appointment of those officers, but simply says that the Legislature shall elect. Now the question comes up, what is to become of the convicts in the prison in case the officers are not elected to take charge of them? Is the present lessee authorizod to continue them in custody? No sir. We unhesitatingly say that he is cupable if he holds them a day after his lease expires, every convict thus held could sustain a suit for false imprisonment. If the Legislature fails to carry out the provisions of the law, every convict is at liberty to

The Paris correspondent ,of tho London Advertiser says: "The Pope has received another cordial invitation to come to Paris. His holiness, who has hitherto refused to assist at the Emperor's coronation, is now invited to bestow his pontifical benediction at the baptismal font on the heir to the imperial throne, which it is hoped, the Empress will soon present to the Emperor and his people. But the Pope holds out no promise that he will accede to this demand His holiness is scandalised by hearing that Queen Victoria and Prince Albert are to be sponsors to the coming babe. The Pope is horrified at the prospect of vile herctics becoming sponsors to a Catholic prince or princess, and, unless this arrangement be overset, it is scarcely probable that he will change his mind."

We answer the question by saying, that the law provides that the Legislature shall elect, and therefore the Governor can only appoint in case of a vacancy which may occur during the recess of the Legislature. vVliy can't the Governor appoint a U. S. Senator! Because tho constitution says that the Legislature shall elect, and no one pretends to say that we will have two Senators unless there i3 a called session.

Similar questions to the one we have recited above, may be involved by the same omission, which will, if the Legislature is not convened lead to difficulties of an endless character. But we may^be told that we, that is us, our editorial Itilf, is not a lawyer, and Gov. Wright is. This is true. We do not profess to bo a lawyer, but we do profess to understand plain English and we think every other man who will take the pains to examine the subject will unquestionably arrive at the snrao oonoluaion. Wclinve liad no intimation that the Gov. intends to convene the Legislature, but we are certain, after a careuil examination of this subject, that if something is not done, old lineism, must go by the board, and they are too watchful of their political interest to suffer the cause to die, when it might linger another year with hopes of perpetual life provided they carry out in good faith the trusts committed to them.

KAMSAS.—Last Saturday we saw

ten wagons, drawn by well fed horses, loaded with children, black negroes on foot, wending their way to Kansas. The emigrants were from Virginia, and seemed to be persons of substance. In the crowd there were as many as twenty negroes. This is a very considerable addition to the Pro-Slavery population of Kansas.

Per-contra—Jhe boats from the Ohio river are daily bringing from Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois, crowds of emigrants on their way to the Territory, besides which, no inconsiderable number of settlers are arriving from the East by rail, and striking for the same region.

Thus, between the emigration from the free and slave States, Kansas is rapidly tilling up, notwithstanding the deplorable condition of things that has for so lonjj a time retarded

The Drudgery of l'ablic Life. In a letter to John Adatns June 27, 1^22, Mr. Jefferson said: 'I do not know how far jou may suffer, as I do, under the persecution of Setters,of which every mail brings me a fresh load. I happen ed to turn to my letter list some time ago,and a curiosity was excited to count those received in a single year. It was the year before the last. I found the number to be one thousand two hundred and sixtv-seten—many of them requiring answers of elaborate research, and all to be answered with due attention and consideration. Take an average of this number for a week or day, and 1 will repeat the question suggested by 'the considerations ot mine on the l*t. Is this life?

qoently more durable than those made farther Bast,aud not liable to Qre-craks. Jfow, friend, if yon want to be happy, and make your wife and children happy, come to the fountain head and £et the genuine article, land you wUl arrays invoke blessings on our heads as public benefactors, j,. (JROVER
