Boston and BuTd70 RDl7rodd.-A nee
ting was to have been held at Boston. on
Wednesday last, for the purpose of raising
subscriptions to the capital for the western
section OF this great line of Rail Roads, be-
Jug about 81 miles from Attica 10 Buffalo.
The amount wanted is 100000 dollars
AS the Bostonians are resolved on shar-
ing with The city of New York, the great
growing trade OF the West. and are now
busy in finishing the line which will reach

we presume our Milwaukee friends will not
be disposed TO complain, if Southport should
profit by their vigilance, and make cor.
responding effort in behalf oftheir own in
terests. While we conccde to others the
Justice of their demands, we do not admit
that the claim Of "our harbor," arc the
less important. If we do not entirely mis-
take the sentiment ofthe people in this Ter
ritory, they will not be satisfied with one
appropriation on our extended lake coast
We have no disposition to draw any invid
ous distinction, between the several points
which claim appropriations the question,
as to which point, would accommodate the
greatest number Of inhabitants, weare will
ling at any time to submit, to the majority
of those interested.
The protection Of commerce on Lake
Michigan, and the business wants Of this
Territory, require that harbors should be
built at Milwaukee, Southport, and Racine.
Each Of these places, has strong claims
upon the consideration Of the general gov
eminent, and the friends Of each, will I'M
questionably ask Cor appropriations at the
ensuing session Of Congress Whether
their claims will be rejected as on former
occasions, remains to be seen.
We would recommend to our citizens,
that measures be adopted withou: delay, to
bring the subject of harbor appropriations
on our lake coast, before Congress in a
strong and convincing light. The failure
OF our past efforts, should not disheartcn us,
or cause US to relax our excrtions fer the
future. Justice is on the side Fthc people
Of Wisconsin, and justice will continue
to plead in our behalf, though ingratirude
Should brook the people in the face at eve
ry step. Let the thousands upon thousands
Of dollars, which this Territory has paid in
to the national treasury from the pockets
of our population, be reiterated again and
again. Let the difficulties in shipping to
markets, the surplus products Of the Ter
rstory, be spread before the representatives
Of the people. Let the dlsmasted vessels,
driving before the fury of the tempest,
seeking in vain for some port Of salty, be
impressed with its dread reality upon the
public mind. Let the story Of our suffer
ing commercc-the destruction Of proper
ty, and Of human life upon our waters, be
Numbered in the ears Of Congress. And
were it possible for human power, to move
the ghosts Of those who have sunk to wa
terry graves upon our lakes; they should
fit in midnight visions around the beds Of
those, who withhold from US the claims Of
justice.
We repeat then; let efficient measures
be adopted without delay-let petition after
petition follow in quick succession, anG
awaken if possible the attention Of our ma
tional Legislators, to the importance Of our
wants. The right Of petition is a lcgit-
mate means put it into the hands of the
people, to demand justice in the halls Of
legislation. IT

As the next session of the United States
Congress, will soon arrive, the subject of
harbors on our lake coast, will again be-
come a topic Of renewed interest TO the peo-
pie of this Territory. The Milwaukee
Sentinel, has already called upon the citi-
zens Of that place, to prepare for immedi-
ate and vigorous action, by circulating
petitions throughout the length and breath
of the territory" and bringing the subject
in formidable shape before Congress-
We commend the spirit of our Milwaukee
and most cordially do we wish
them success. We apprehend no citizen of
Racine county, would be willing to throwpny
obstacle in the way of harbor appropro-
alton at Milwaukee. But at the same time,

Markets. There has been a further de-
cline in grain, and most kinds Of provisions
in eastern markets, since our last notice.
The latest arrivals from Europe, bring in
tclligence of the successful harvesting of
the crops, and Of yield sufficient to meet
the demand of the country. Consequently
there will be no further shipments to any
extent from this country to Europe, unless
occurrences now unlocked for, should tram
spire. The prospect Of war between any
Of the powers of Europe, has recently We
~ much diminished, and the current opin-
ion is, there will be no hostilites on the
continent, growing out of the present state
Of affairs. Western wheat is selling in n.
York city from 95 cts. to 81 90 per bush
ell. Flour from 81 81 to 5 90 per bbl.
Most kiuds Of merchandise, especially gro
cercs have advanced in prices. In Ro-
chester. wheat is selling at six shiIlings
per bushe. At Michigan city, flour sells
at So so per bbl., corn 40 cts, oats Il
cts. Wheat, no market.

conclusion, that such is tho abode Of domcs-
tic happiness. On the other hand a farm
house destitute of fruit trees or ornamental
shrubbery in its yard, o. immediate vjc!-
nifty, shows want~o Of taste and attention
to the comforts Of life. The proprietor of
such an establishment, is usually suspect
ed of Immoral habits-a stranger to domes-
tic happiness; and no lover Of his home, Iii,
wife, and his children.

brings INTO action the finer feelings Of the

pleasure and delight: 20 one can behold
