1t will bring high per cent Like any
other property, the demand for money
will regulate lis price, thence we see that
sometimes money will not bring moro than
four or five per cent; and at others, from
30 to 30. And when money will com
mand high per cent an expcdient is re-
sorted TO, 10 cYade the law. Vertas being
aware of this, says ''that it may safely be
said of human laws if they cannot be eva
ded, they are good for nothing" would
say when law can be so easily and uni
yersalIy evaded, as the usury law, it is
good for nothing and ought to be repealed.
The usury laws not only fail to accom-
pIsh the object for which they were Gre
ated, but oper ne in thousands of instances,
directly against the interest Of those for
whose protection they were made Had
it not been for the usury laws, have no
doubt that money could have been hired at
the land sales at Milwaukee on much ca
sier terms, than it was. presume it will
not be denied that many capitalists would
have been induced to have brought money
here, and loaned it at more reasonable
rate, had it not been for the usury law for
.5idlng the taking of higher interest, than
their money would bring at home; and
according TO the common course of things,
the more Of the article in the ma rkct, the
lower the price. In conclusion will say,
if ;he above reasoning is correct, the usury
law is Of no practical utility, and THEREFORE
should be REPEALED JUNIUS.

and since has been residing at Mr.. Doty's
tavern, on the Des PLANES, has been ar
rested and committed 10 the Cook county
Jail for robbing the mail in Pennsylvania,
near Lancaster, last winter. He had been
kept in expectation of another situation on
their line in order for the proper documents
and the Post Office agent TO arrive. So he
had begun to prepare himself Cor his old
business, and had filed a new key to fit the
mail lock exactly, which was found on his
person. Several other keys, evidently al
tered over by a file, were also found. The
young man has been rather flush with mo-
ney, much of which was the emission Of
Pennsylvania banks. He will soon be to
ken to the u. S. Circuit Court at Spring

% THE PEOPLE OF WISCONSIN

The God of Nature has greatly blessed
this our Territory. Our climate is sau-
brious-our soil is fcrtie--our sources Of
wealth are Observation-Disclosures means Of in
tcrnal communication are, or may become
unsurpassed by any in the world But in
order 10 enjoy these advantages, religion,
morality, and true science must exercise a
controlling influence over the public mind.
These arc usually inseparable companions
Indeed, no one of them can, in any com
munity, long flourish where the others are
neglected Our prosperity as Territory
depends much on the proportion of all
these; they will generally advance or de-
cline together. 1t is true, not little re-
Spcct for true Christianity and morality pre-
walls IN our Territory. This is very en-
cowoging and it is a sure ground upon
which 10 hope that true science will also
soon flourish among us. Hitherto, educa-
ton in this community has not received that
attention which il deserves. But do not
let US censure our Legislature because no
more has been done. They have had
much TO do, and they have done much.
Indeed, they have given good degree Of
S;tcntio nto this very subject. Incur Ter
rory, education is yet in It's infancy; but
with care, we can have established among
! rs, one OF the best systems in the world.
: 10 establish a university in this Territory,
The General Government has given two en-
Ire townships of land. From this, we have
hitherto derived no advantages; though, if
aroNery located, and under the direction
q a man of mind, it would sustain,o near
SO, one branch or more of the universe
" IN each county in our Territory, togcth-
'~ith the principal college in some cen
is position
We have also for common school purpo-
saS' one section Of land in each town Of
SIX miles square. This, il properly man
,td would, with the county tax for educa-
%, sustain school in every neighborhood
Tour or more families in the Territory,
81 orucarly or quite six months in each year.
AND from this land we have as vet obtain
% very little support for schools. With
50 much means at our command for the
opposes of education, what IS necessary
order that we, as a Territory, NAV
Il ENJOY the advantages ofone of the best svs-
lens Of education 10 be found on the earth?
by do we now obtain little or nothing
nom our university and common school
ft'nls : Why have we not n common
se0oo! in every neighborhood, and one
O'aAch or more of the university in each
.Ouh'y The answer must be, we have
~ suitable man whose business il is to at
W Hu 70 puolic instruction in the Territory.
We need such a person we must have
such one, before we can eniov the ad-
& 1HAgeS OF superior system Of instruc-
TOT ms purpose, we need man Of

We shall be accused Of no cgotistical vanity
in transferring it TO our columns, as we do it
to show that our town is gaining that atten-

serves:
We have received new paper, the Tc-

Of Wisconsin. 1t is published at Southport,
on the western shore Of lake Michigan.
1t is printed in the very neatest style, con-
tanning many excellent articles, editorial
as we'll as selected. 1t bids fair to be
most interesting journal. The beautiful
town of Southport, is one Of the most thri-
wing places ON the lake. The publication
Of the Telegraph is a fair indication Of the
spirit Of the citizens of Southport.

with the Territory, and be able and willing
to deliver lectures on the subject of educa-

would collect Information, digest plans, ex-
anime books, and present annually to the

three years, see common schools Ia every

Fcllow-Cnizens, if the above suggestions

Will, let us at once petition our Legislative
Assembly TO create the Office Of :" Superin-
tendent OF public instruction." and fill it
with man of general knowledge, morali-
ty, talents and experience one who re-
CARDS the young, and whose soul would
therefore be in this work. Such man,
in such situation, would be public BEN
efactor 10 the Territory while an ignor-
ant, ambitious demagogue, if appointed to
this office, would only throw distractions
in the way Of true science.
". b. The friends ofeducation through
out the Territory, are requested to petition

ject, curly in the session which commences
in December, 1870.
The following may be used as form
for petition or the above subject.
