•gate from Kansas.
,i«e of the champions ol
make the contest ot Gen.
lleeder lor n seat as delegate
the great questions for sec
uring the approaching session of
u. Whitti-ld will base his claims
upon trie certificate ol Gov. Shannon,
, that, at an election held in pursuance
.ue law passed by the legislature ot Kansas,
r.ajirity of the votes were cast for Gen. Whit
.l lor delegate to Congress. Gov Reeder w ill
e his claims upon cert,ficates made by parties
■iug no official station, but showing that, in
nance of the resolution of a voluntary as
blage of inhabitants of Kansas, an election
held at the various election precincts, at
| Gov. Reeder received a majority ot the
cast, end that he is therefore entitled to
ep esent the Territory as its delegate in Con
gress.
Inasmuch as Gen. Whitfield will present the
certificate of the Governor of the Territory,
ma le in pursuance ofthe statute ot the Territory,
he will be entitled primafacis to occupy the seat.
To oust him, Governor Reeders friends propose
to show that the certificate of the Governor is
null and void, on the ground that the statute
which provided for the election was itself a nul
lity. This will raise the question whether the
legislative body which enacted the statute was
composed of legal legislators, chosen in pur
suance of the act of Congress organizing the
Territory, or whether they were a body of in
dividuals w ho under the forms of law, had usurped
legislative authority.
It is maintained by those who dispute the
legality of Gen. Whitfield’s election that, by
virtue cf the power which the House of Repre
sentatives has, under.the Constitution, to “judge
of the elections, returns, and qualifications ol its
own member’s” it will be compelled to go back
and inquire whether the several persons who
held seats as members of the Kansas legislature
were legally elected as such members, and it so,
whether their acts as such legislators were ren
dered illegal and invalid by reason ot their rd
journment from the place designated by the
then government to a place designated by their
own resolution?
When the House of Representatives has been
induced to set aside the election of members to
the legislature of Kansas as void, and of conse
quence to declare that the laws passed by them
as a legislature are void, and also that the elec
tion ot delegates to Congress under these laws
is void, it is then proposed that Governor Reeder
shall be inducted into the seat thus declared va
cant. Eis title to the position is to be sustained
on the ground that he is the true and genuine
representative of the Territory. His certificate
of election, it is alleged, emanates from the peo
ple of the Territory in voluntary meetings as
sembled.
The law of Congress requires the delegate to
be elected in pursuance of an act of the Terri-,
torial legislature, and the evidence of his election
which the law prescribes, is the certificate ofthe
Territorial Governor. Neither of these requisites
exists in connection with Governor Reeder’s
certificate; but the evidence of his election
shows that he has been chosen not only in vio
lation of the act of the Territorial legislature,
but that his claim to a seat can only’ be granted
by overriding the act of Congress providing for
the organization of Kansas. It will be observed
that, it the House should declare Gen. Whitfield’s
election void because the law ot the Territory
is void, the result places him on exactly the same
footing with Governor Reeder. In each case
the people assembled together voluntaiily at
their places of voting and made an election.
The one was chosen undercolor of law, (in the
view we are now taking.) whilst the other was
chosen in open defiance of law. Which of the
two claimants received the larger number ol
votes we are not informed; not is it material, since
they were voted fcr at different times and there
was no trial of strength between them, from
whiih it can be judged which is the choice of a
majority of the bona fide inhabitants.
Governor Reeder’s friends assume that the
rejection of General Whitfield’s certificate is
tantamount to the admission of Gov. Reeder
as delegate. We are unable to see how any
such consequence follows. Until the House ot
Representatives is prepared to abrogate not only
the election of legislators of Kansas, the legis- i
lature of Kansas, the certificate of Gov. Reeder ;
declaring the election of members legal, the laws I
passed by the legislature so recognised as legal. ■
the certificate of Governor Shannon, that Gen. ;
Wbitfiehi wa« otart***! arrr,rdin» tn law. and
last ol all, tne law ol congress providing a ter
ritoriJ government for Kar.sa-, it is impossible
that the question of the admission of Governor
Reeder’s claim can be entertained. The contest,
however, may serve the purposes of sectional
agitation, and we are wholly unable to discover
any object that can be accomplished but to
widen the breach between the North and the
South, and to hasten the consummation of the
great design of black republicanism to array one
section of'the Union against the other. We are
slow to believe that an American House of
Representatives will ever be induced by tbe ap
peals of fanatical and ambitious political dema
gogues to trample upon the laws, not only of the
Territorial legislature of Kansas but of Congress,
in order to promote the designs of disunionists.
Special Dispatch to the Ji. F. Tribune.
Washington, Nov. 11, 1855.
I have learned from a source which leaves no
doubt as to the truth of the statement, that some
time before the famous Col. Kinney left for Ni
caragua he proposed to the Russian minister, M.
Stock!, to involve the United States in a diffi
culty with England about Cuba. One element
of his proposal was that the affair should be
brought to bloodshed. M.Stceiki promptly and
decisively refused the offer.
Commodore Paulding, commander of the home
squadron, reached this city to-day, having been
telegraphed by the Secretary of the Navy to come
forthwith. The Commodore, in command ofjan
augmented fleet, will soon be in the gulf, and
will closely watch the English cruisers.
Secretary Davis is in high glee, produced by
the news from Mississippi. He has a dispatch
from Jackson, dated the 10th, announcing the
entire success of the Democracy. Gov. Mcßea
is re-elected by a majority of five thousand,
thirty majority in the Legislature, and all the
Democratic Congressmen elected. Davis longs
for a seat in the Senate, but most probably the
honor will be conferred on Jake Thompson.
John P. Kennedy will probably succeed Senator
Pratt.
The Hon. George M. Daui.as—A corres
pondent suggests that Mr. Dallas cannot con
stitutionally be a candsdate for President, be
cause he was born out of the United States. He
says his father, Alexander J. D-llas. was a na
tive of Londondery, Leland, who, at nineteen
years of age migrated to Scotland, there mar
lied, and started forthwith for the West Indies,
where George was born. His father, nine
months after, made.his final pitch for the United
States, and settled in Philadelphia.
B it our co-respondent fails to state that Mr
Dallas wr.s not a citizen at the time the Federal
Conatititution was adopted ; so his statement is
inconclusive. The Constitution (Art. 11, sec. I
c'auseS) says:
“ No person, except a natural-born citizen, or
a citizen of the United States ar the time of the
adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to
the office ol President.”—W Y. Tribune.

The Praying Children.
Mrs. Wbittlesy relates a story, which will be
useful and interesting to our young readers. She
says :
In one of our Western towns, a clergyman
was one morning told by his wife, that a little
boy, the son of a neighbor, was very sick, near
to death, and asked if he would not go in and
see him.
“1 hardly know what to do,” said he. ‘ 1 fear
my visit would not be well received.”
■ But,” joined the wile, ‘when you were sick,
a short time since, the mother ot the little boy
sent in kindly every day to know how you
we-e, and I think they will expect you to come
and see their son.”
This was a sufficient inducement, he was
scon on the way to the dwelling of sorrow. The
mother was hanging in anguish over her pre
cious and beautitul child, who was tossing from
side to side in the delirium ot a brain fever.
The minister, after watching him a few mo
ments, turned to the lady and said—
“ This poor little child should be kept perfectly
quiet, madam ; he should not be excited in any
manner.” „ ...
‘ Sir ” said she, “ will you offer a prayer ?
At first he hesitated, fearing the effect upon
the child ; but, on second thought, knelt at the
bedside, and uttered a few petitions in His name
who said. “ suffer little children to come unto
me ” The moment he commenced speaking,
the little sufferer, who until now seemed uncon
scious of hie presence, ceased his moans, lay
still upon the bed, and fixing his dark eyes upon
him, listened intently to every word. The
minister rose from his knees, said a few words
to’the mother, and went home, leaving the child
in'a perfectly tranquil state. The next morning
the first intelligence which greeted him, was,
that little Frank had died during the night.
He had become extremely interested, and the
apparent effect of the voice of prayer upon the
dyin» boy, had surprised him. He went again
to visit the family, attended the luneral, and at
length learned the following facts :
She had two children. Frank was the eldest,
and the second was a daughter of five yers. A
few months before, little Alice had gone to
spend the night with some companions in the
neighborhood, whose patents were Christians,
andjwere training their children to follow their
steps As thev were about retiring to rest, these
little ones said to their visitor, who did not
know the Lord’s Prayer—
‘Come, Alice, kneel down with us, and say,
‘ Our Father.’ before we go to bed.’
Alice, being a bright little girl, soon commit
ted to memory the precious form of prayer
which has gone from so many lips since our
Saviour first utteied it. The next morning, lull
of animation, and delighted with her new ac
quisition, she returned home ; and the moment
her brother Frank returned from school, she be
-an to tell him all about her visit, and beg him
to learn Our Father,’ and say it with her.
From this time, the mother said, kneeling to
gether, they bad daily repeated the Lord s Pray
er with »reat earnestness and delight, and had
also learned other prayers, in which they seemed
much interested. . „ ,
A few days before he was taken sick, b rank
had come to her with a book in his hand, and
S O, mother, here js a beautiful prayer—will
vou let me read it to you ?’ . .
It was the rememberance of this which in
duced her to make then quest that the minister
would pray by the bed o her suffering boy, and
this was the secret of the calming influence
which that prayer exerted. He continued thus
tranquil along time, but at length his distress
returned, and the hour of death diew near. About
midnight, suffeiing and agonized, be begged ol
' his mother to send for the good minister to pray
a»ain. He must have somebody to pray. Ihe
parents disliked to call him at that hour of the
night, and knew not what to do. At last the
mother went up stairs, and, taking the little
sleeping Alice from her bed, brougnt her to her
brother’s bed-side, and told her what Frank
wanted. Immediately she knelt down, and
slowly and solemnly repeated the prayer which
they both so much loved, and then, unasked
said— , ,
“Now Frankylays hiua down to sleep,
I pray the Lord his soul to keep ;
If he should die before ho wake, ,
I pray the Lord his soul to take.
The first words soothed the sufferer and with
the last bis spirit fled. ,
Witnessed earth ever a sublimer spectacle?

Magnetism in Trade.
There ate few of the readers of the Merchants’
Magaxine engaged in trade that will not feel
the'force of the following remaks from the pen
of the clever editor of the Philadelphia Mer
chant :
There is a kind of magnetism in trade that
goes a great ways towards explaining the great
er success of one man oyer another who seems
to have equal opportunities. While conversing
with a very enthusiastic friend the other day,
he remarked :
“How queer it is that sometimes when a cus
tomer enters the store I feel as though it would
be impossible to sell him a fin’s worth, but at
another time I feel as though I could make a
customer buy just what I .feel inclined to sell.
There’s a real magnetism about it.”
“Yes, we replied,” and your battery is not al
ways in order.”
‘ What 1’ he answered, ‘do you mean the dif
ference is al! in me ?’ .
‘ Most certainly, for you confess that it is all a
matter of feeling,’ we replied, ‘and the great
means of always keeping up this magnetic
power is to be absorbed in what we are doing,
by avoiding temptations to day dreaming and
hazy speculations.’
We think that here’s an important matter for
every salesman' Whatever is to be done well
must be dene earnestly—the man must be fu y
ma°netized for the labor before him tu y
charged with earnestness. We have seen good
and extensive customers provoked and impelled
to leave a business establishment by the lackad
aisical maimer in which they were treated.
They found it difficult to tell whether the sales
man was disposed to sell at all, or had no confi
dence in the customer’s intention to buy. . hey
like something akin to real home heartiness;
they want to find a man in the full bloom ol
true e„teiprise; and they almost instinctively
catch the indifference ot the salesman, and draw
themselves away without becoming purchasers.
There is more in this matter of magnetism in
trade than many will be willing’o allow; bui
>1 they will try a little while the whole-souled
way ol attending on their business, treating
every customer as though each one might be a
large purchaser, they will find new success, and
will enjoy attention to business with more relish
than they have ever known.
Revision of the Bible. —In the British
Hou.e ol Commons recently, Mr. Heywood, the
member for Lancashire, gave notice that he
should, at the next session, move ’an address to
her Majesty, praying that her Majesty will be
graciously pleased to appoint a commission to
into the state of the authorized version of the
Bible, and to prepare apian for the further re
vision of that translation.”

Our Milledgeville Correspondence.
We publish, this morning, very full and inter
esting details of the proceedings of both branch
es of the Georgia Legislature, up to Thursday
evening.
We find that our correspondent opposes the
suggestions in the Governor’s Message in rela
tion to State aid to lines of internal improve
ment. While we do not favor indiscriminate
appropriations, for such purposes, by the State,
there are limits within which we think she
couid properly give her assistance, either by subj
scribing for stock, or endorsing bonds for im
provements of vital importance to large sections
of the State.
Classification of Convicts.
In the report of the Fiuance Committee to the
Governor, are many valuable suggestions in
reference to various branches of the public in
terests. We are particularly struck with the
propriety of the following tecommendation in
reference to the Penitentiary :
“ Can a question of greater public interest
claim the attention of Legislators, than that in
volved in the means employed to prevent crime,
if possible, anil to punish it, if demanded by the
well being of society, with a view to preven
tion ?
Who does not feel the necessity for the sepa
ration of the female convict from the male, the
bov from the man,the corrigible from the incor
rigible? Why should not the person who, in
heat of blood and from pride of character, has
committed manslaughter, an offence which does
not degrade a man and put an enduring stamp
of infamy on him through life, be separated from
forgers and felons?
Why should he be stripped of the citizen’s
garb and clad in the stripes, and with the badges
of the most abandoned lascals?
Considerations of morality, and a regard to
the principles upon which the right to punish
rests, demand alike a thorough reform by re
organization.”
Whatever be done with the other recommen
dations in regard to removal of the Penitentiary
from Milledgeville to a place where the labor
of the convicts may be more aduantageously em
ployed, and with that lor a thorough re organi
zation, and erection of new and more commodi
ous buildings, the above is one that appeals to
the justice and good feelings of every citizen.
We hope the reform now recommended will be
adopled. An honorable, educated and intelli
gent man, of irreproachable character and useful
ness as a citizen might, in the heat of blood,
commit manslaughter, and yet, after serving his
term of punishment, return to society and re
sume his position of usefulness, and attain a yet
higher respectability, it the punishment were
indeed but for a term of years and then cease.
But if, in fact, he is degraded for life, the pun-
England and the United States.
There is a vast deal of very pretty writing
and an abundance of twaddle indulged in by the
press ofthe United States, in reference to the
probabilities of a war between the United States
and England; and there is just about as much
probability of such an event—and as little reason
to apprehend it from any thing that has recently
occurred —as there is that cotton will advance to
twenty cents a pound within twenty days.

by railroad and river; and from Augusta to
Kansas city, the oidinary trav> lling expenses ot
one person would hardly exceed S4O, and for a
party of twenty-five or thirty persons, the ex
penses would certainly no’ exceed S3O per
head.
Temperance Demagoguism.
I’he Trenton Gaz'tlc, hitherto friendly to the
enactment of the pichibitory law, thus speaks
ofthe conduct of the Temperance men dining
the recent canvass in that State. It says;
“They have continual!}’ forced piohibition info
L-ollision with the will of the people, i nd the
j consequence is the election of three anti-prohibi
| tion Senators and their own defeat in Burlmg
i ton county. Only two members of the Assem-
I bly pledged to prohibition, so far as we are
I aware, have been returned, and not more than
ten or a dozen favoiable to it. This result has
been caused, not so much by the lack of a desire
among the people to mitigate the evils and re
strict the exercise of the liquor traffic, as by a
deteimination not to submit to the aibi’rary co
iercion attempted by the Temperance j arty, and
a disgust with its hypocrisy and inconsistency.
; But the Temperance pohticians have followed
| their own infatuated counsels, and the result is
' lhat their organization is scattered to the winds,
femperance measures have been rendered im
practicable, and their own power has dwindled
into utter insignificance.”
