not appear as though Capt. Burnett wish

might have been easily done, for trunks

Burnett attempted so to do. And we here
declare that the conduct OF Capt. Burnett,

What could he know Of the truth or falsc1
hood Of that document? for MIR. Davies,
after speaking Of the engine making scyc-
raj cvoIutons. says "At this time Mr..

Mr.. Davies says the lighter that came

large boat Of 10 or II tons burthcn, and
capable Of carrying all the passengers and

The meeting was then addressed by II.
b. TowSlec, Esq, Of Southport, when, on
motion, the resolutions were adopted by
loud acclamation.
Resolred, That in the Democratic party
VIC recognize the same principles that
were taught by Washington and Jefferson,
and carried out by jackson and Van Blu
rcn, viz : "thc greatest good to the great
est number" and an aversion 10 all mo-
nopolics that have a tendency to make the
erich richer and the poor poorcc,"
RcSolred, That we continue to have the
utmost confidence in the administration Of
Martin Van Buren,.
Resolced, That we are gratIGcd TO see
public opinion settling down upon the Hon.
Richard NJ. Johnson, as il candidate for the
Vice Presidency, and we confidently be-

his country's rights, is out of the reach Of
the shafts Of his federal opponents, and
will be triumphanty elected Vice Prosi-
dent.

"She walks the waters like thing of life,

And seems to dare the clements to strife"
We never fully realized the beauty and
power of this oft quoted passage, until this
morning, when standing on the bank Of
the lake, we watched the motions of the
Great Wcstern,as, after leaving the freight
and passengers destined for this place, she
proceeded on her upward passage to Chi
cago. 1t was a sight that ight have STIR
rcd the poetry in Il much less susceptible
soul than belonged to the bard above quoted,
and it was Il sight, that would have called
from this bard, could he have seen it,
not less beautiful or less powerful burst,
than this. The appcaranccof this boat on
the water is always beautiful, but on this
occasion, as she lay upon the lake with It's
surface Of beauty unrullled. she was addi-
tionalIy SO, and seemed like gull just
dropped from It's airy wing, resting on the
liquid element. Though perfectly still, the
spectator might fancy that he behed impa-
thence in her appearance, and that like the
curbcd war horse, or hound in the leash,
she but waited rcstlessly for the word to
bend TO her task; and when that word was
given, in the deep sough of her engine, no.
bly, too did she bend to her task, and as
"like thing Of lite," she cut the blue
wave Of the lake, dashing lis waters from
her bow, and sending up her cloud of steam
to mingle with the cloud above, we thought
that should she meet the elements in strife
when their fury was expended, the still
deep sounding thunder of her spirit power,
would proclaim hers the victory.

CENSUS OF RACINE CoUETY.-The Marshal has
nearly completed the enumeration of the population
of this county, and we learn that it amounts 10 be-
tween 80 and 5000; showing an increase in two years
OF about 65 per cent The population of the town Of
Southport the first of June, 337; that of Ra-
cine was go. We are confident however, thai our
population present exceeds 400, as large acces-
sions have been made since the first Of June.

PoLITICs IN RACINE COUNTY. =


PoLITICs IN RACINE CoUNTY.-As chro-
nicIers Of passing events, we are called up
on to state for the information Of the pub
lie, the attitude Of political matters in this
county. During the last week, Git being
the session term of our District CourD the
subject Of politics, was had in discussion,
and an excitement produced, perhaps "a
thea unusual for this county; though IN
other political mcridians, whore the clement
of party are constantly in motion, the agl-
tation of which we speak, might have been
deemed scarcely noticeable. An cilort
was made we arc informed, by the demo-
cratic party, to conciliate the different po-
litcal interests in this county, and bring
about if possible, unanimity Of action
without distinction of party. The overture
was rejected, and the effort failed; from
what special cause or influence we shall
not stop to inquire. The two political par
tics subsequently proceeded to organize
themselves, on the distinctive party grounds
of "W )" and "Democrat.' The pro-
cecdings Of both parties have been received,
and accordingly this week we spread their
doings before the public.
Notwithstanding our previous announce
mcnt, that we should not enter the arena
Of political strife, yet VIC reserve to our
selves the right to comment freely upon
the dolngs of political bodies, whenever
circum stances may seem to require it
Thus far in the history Of our Territory,
we confess ourselves not yet enlightened,
as to the necessity Of party organizations.
The necessity of political parties in re-
publican form Of government We have ne
yer questioned, but nevertheless we are not
appraised that such necessity, is applicable
to our political minority as a Territory,
and state Of local dependency as a people.
When our political enfranchscment TO
equal rights and privileges, shall have
come, then shall we be among the first to
unrurl our political banner, and rally to
the support of that democracy, which from
childhood VIC have been taught 10 revere,
and which we hope to sec pcrpctuatcd for
the benefit Of future ages.
But if the people Of this territory will it
otherwise; if, in their opinion the time for
political action has fully come, then VIC are
not disposed TO complain. It.

One OF the prominent objects had in view in the
publication of this paper is tho havolopomont tho
resources OF our territory, with respect TO soil pro-
ducllons, and natural advantages to its future growth
and prosperity. Ii will be readily admitted that Wis
consin possesses The elements requisite to its future
advancement III wealth ami power, but nevertheless
The full extent Of internal resources are but i'm
perfectly understood at home and much more abroad
This arises of necessity from the infancy Of our set
Element, and the comparative sparseness Of our popu
laion. From what has thus far been exempted in
the fertility Of soul and the saubrty of our eli
male during the short space of our territorial settle
mcnf, we have the best assurances, that we were
not misguided in making choice of this territory as
our adopted home. Nor are tho people of Wisconsin
alone convinced Of the superior blessings which ma
tGre has bestowed upon this favored portion of the
earth; an interest has been awakened in the older
states to the rising prospects of this territory Wis
consln at this time holds "A most prominent rank in
the mind of the eastern emigrant; information of eve
ry kind with respect to this portion of The west, is
sought for with aydity and the better our advana-
ges and resources understood, the more will thew
be appreciated and the sooner our vacant lands be
settled with hardy and entcrprising population.
Our object therefore, is to collect facts, not only
Of general nature but especially of the local histo-
ny and setlemenof different sections our territory
of the peculiarilies of soil, natural advantages pro
Gress of population intellectual character &c. &c
We that for this purpose the means at our
command, inadequate TO the task. We would
therefore invite all who regard expressed object
with favor TO furnish with such matter of fact his
tory of the character aforementioned as will enable
us TO prosecute design with success, and be ser
vceable TO tho public. We cheerfulIy open the CO.
umns of our paper, to all who inclined TO contr-
bnte to the general stock of information which we
seek TO gain.
Aside from the qualification well as benefit which
other portions Of our common country abroad might
derive from the statistics of our history none can be
moro directly interested than our own population
correct knowledge Of our territory is nike essen
al TO every class of community: without it, agri
cultural and commercial interests cannot be advun-
ccd with eficency-wthout it, legislation is liable
to be misguided, and government inadequate to The
distribution of equal justice.

of J. c.. Davies, Cl'k. G.. Burnett, Capt
and w. Kennedy, mate, of the steamboat
New England, in relation to the upsetting
of lighter at this place, on the evening
of the goth Of May list, and knowing the
same to be, in the me important particu-
