Our delegate, the Hon. Judge Doty, bids fair to
stand solitary and alone in his opinion that the
laws of territorial legislature are not valid until
formally approved by Congress. Many of the pro-
minen legal gentlemen of the territory, upon solic-
taiicn, have given their opinions upon the matter.
and of those who have spoken. we believe none have
been found agree with him. In this paper will be
found the latest expression on the subject from
NJ. l.. Martin, Esq distinguished member of the
bar Of Brown county, which seems 10 us 10 be
elusive enough. We do not recoect the grounds Ia
ken by the judge 10 sustain himself in his POSITION
but they must be strong indeed liable stand against
the force brought to bear upon them. In fact, every
argument in opposition that we have seen, appears
conclusive enough, and think the judge had Ell
ther better abandon his position permit the matter
to go by default, allowing the laws of The territory
to continue in operation, they, at all events cost
probably would do.

vary the construction adopted by the SUI
preme court Of New York, which settles
the question. All The Territories have
been created with the same or essentially
the same provisions, as TO the enactment,
preservation. transmission and report to
Congress, Of all their laws, and they have
always until now been construed as intend
ing to define the duties of the several Off
GERS Of the Territory TO which they apply,
in relation 10 the laws by which The people
are governed, and nothing more.
From this hasty view of the subject, |
deduce the following propositions:
l. That the power of making laws is
vested in the Governor and Legislative
Assembly.
2. That the power Of repeal is vested in
the same body and in Congress.
3. That no further act, as recording,
transmitting. or submitting 10 Congress, is
necessary before the laws take effect.

Green Bay, June 10, 1910.

Green Bay, June lO, lS4U.
Messrs. J. CATLIN & J. A. NooNAN, Esqs.
| have examined the ordinance and act
Of Congress, in reference to the question
"whether any law of the Territory can
take place before its submission TO Con-
gress," and cheeffully give you the con-
clusion to which they have led me.
The accepted Specification Of the term
Legislature, is, "thc supreme sovereign
power in the state, or a power of action
uncontrolled by superior" By the act
establishing the Territory (4th sec. legis-
zatire power is vested in the Governor and
a Legislative Assembly. In the 9th sec
ton of the same act it is declared "that
the Legislative power of the Territory,
shall extend to all righJM subjects Of leg
islatiom, but no law shall be passed inter-
fering with the primary disposal of the
soil, &c. The grants Of Legislative pow
cr may further be traced TO the ordinance
and acts Of Congress, the rights, privile-
ges and immunites Of which, heretofore
granted and secured to Michigan, are
granted and secured to the inhabitants of
Wisconsin by the 18th sec. of the organic
law. By the ordinance thus made appi-
cable to us, we have the right Of "propor-
tomato representation of the people in the
legislatures" and the Governor, Council
and House of Representatives shave au-
thority to make laws IN all cases, not re-
pugnant to the principles and articles in
this ordinance established and declared"
Previous to the formation Of the Legisla-
tive Assembly, it is provided " that the
Governor and Judges shall adopt and pub
HSh in the district, such laws of the origi
nal states rs may be necessary and best
suited to the circumstances of the district,
which iaaoS shall be in force until the or

have arisen and will arise that whilst Wisconsin has
the power, 1t would be we'll for her people closely 10

The undersigned having purchased the good will
of the late proprietor of the Post proposes deliver
the Pilot in its stead those subscribers that pa
per, who will consent to receive it.
Tie was induced to make the purchase, because,
without personal knowledge of the subscribers, he
has understood generally that many of them OPP
posed to the present administration and that among
those who are not opposed, there highly res
pectable and honorable men, who might be expected
to receive the truth, although, unwelcome. To the
original and sincere democratic, State Rights men
the Pilot will always speak an acceptable language
Men may change-we may have differences of opin-
ion as to men, but fundamental principles remain
the same; and all that ask of our old readers is
to hear us, and judge US by our works. We do not
doubt their patriotism. We give the strongest evil
dence of our confidence in their iberaliy by paying
our money for their good will; and we have done this
the more cheerfuly because we have been lead to be-
eve that the subscribers to the Post are, many of
them, not only intelligent and liberal minded but
independent likewise; much so, that they can and
will think for themselves, free from all fears of pot
zeal prescription.
This arrangement will be greatly to the advantage
of those who advertised in the Posts as the circula
ton will be nearly quite four times great as in
that paper; and in that quarter in which it is most
desirable that advertisements should be circulated
The Pilot will be left for few days. and continued
unless otherwise ordered, The advertisements will
also be inserted, in conformity to the existing con-
tracts with the Post unless otherwise directed

Business generally, appears TO have been
rather more active the past few days, and the ca
nal being again open, we doubtless shall have
flood OF produce here through that channel
which will essentially aid country merchants and
traders, in the settlement of the balances TO the
city dealers 1t will not be the flour produce
dealers alone that will derive benefit by it, but the
dry goods jobbers the grocer the iron monger,
the crockery merchants, the hardwaremen the
hotel-keeper, &C., will each reap share, which
must bring some relief TO the whole community,
so far especially as it relates to pecuniary mat
ters. We observed, yesterday, as we passed
through some of the leading dry goods business
streets, much greater number of boxes marked
for the west than has "gladdened our eyes" for a
long time. We hope this is but the 'beginning
of the end"
