Icgraph, the present postmaster, whose
neglect Of duty is cause Of general COM
plant, {" was appointed 10 the office with
out any recommendation from the town:
on the contrary, the wings Of the town, IN
public meeting, had recommended another
man. 1t is known, too. that an able and
efficient officer was removed to make room
for the present incumbent.
In almost every removal and appoint
ment made by the present Postmaster Ge-
neral in the Territory the expressed wish
es Of the people have been treated with the
utmost contempt.
Let us now glance at some Of the acts of
new Executive of Wisconsin and see how
far he has shown disposition 10 consult
the popular will.
His first &C: was to remove the Sheriff
Of Dane county, who had received his APP
pointment from Gov. Dodge upon re-
commentator Of the people through the
medium Of the ballot box, and to appoint in
his stead an individual who when candi-
date for the station, had been rejected by
the popular vote.
In selecting a sheriff for the county of
Iowa he disregarded the recommendations of
the people, and appointed an individual
whom he knew, from the evidence before
him in'the shape of petitions, not to be the
choice Of the majority. So strong was the
belief of some Of the political friends of
the Executive that it was his intention in
making his appointments 10 disregard any
popular expression, that one Of them de-
cined a nomination for the office aforesaid
on the ground, 10 use his own words, 'that
TGre-ftths of the citizens Of Iooa comfy
should cote for me, our present Governor
would disregard their recommendation !"
In the appointment Of sheriff for Grant
county, also, the recommendation Of the
people were not at all regarded.
So that thus far, as references to facts
show, the whig Governor Of the Territory,
in;connection with the Executive Of the ma
ton and the Post Master General, has ex-
hibited nothing but disposition TO treat
with contempt and trample upon the wish
cs and interests of the people !

submit to these things? WI they lick the
hand that smiteS them? WiH they not ra-
tier phen the time /noao nearly al hand)

of American citizens, and that they are

DARING RoBBERy.-The office Of the
Receiver of the Land Office in this City
was entered on Saturday or Sunday night
last, the safe in which the public moneys
were kept opened by false keys, and rob-
bed of about eleren thousand dollars. The
largest portion of the money was in gold,
a part in Treasury Notes, and one bill Of
fifty dollars on the North Adams Bank,
Mass. and small portion in silver. The
Receiver, Mr.. Prescott, has offered a re-
ward Of 81 900 for the money, and So,
90 for the arrest Of the robber. Let the
community be on the look out that the rob-
Der may be taken and the money recovered.

THE DEMOCRATIC SENATORS FOR GIVING TO
BUTIoNl
Here. then, is another specimen of (e-
bera affection for Wisconsn-another ar
gument, we suppose, why our citizens, as
they are anxious TO promote their best IN
terestS and willing to sanction the course
of the party in power towards them, should
send wing delegate 10 Congress! But
the people of the Territory are not 10 be
humbugged; and we trust that every voter
as he approaches the polls, will bear in
mind the following facts:-
T"ath he pays has money IN the purchase
of government lands, into the United States
Treasury for distribution among the States
to enable them to pay their debts to foreign
stock jobJers.
That to supply tie deficiency created By
tbs unconstitutional and unequal diStribu-
ton, he is tared at the rate Of t'centy per
cent, on all the tea, sugar, coffee, nsolasSeS
salt, &c. lie purchases for the use of his ia
mily.

alom him an equal participation in the be-
neftS of The distribution, as means Of part
Iy .remanerating him tor.the heary tao he
is called upon to pay, ii acas rotcd dozen.

We frequently hear itwaged as an ar
gument why the people of this County
hould vote for Arnold for Delegate, that
he is an Eastern man and that our citizens
should go for him on that ground, as
matter of interest. We believe Mr.. Ar
mold, himself, has made use of this argu-
ment frequently, in this and the adjoining
counties. Now we propose to show con-
clusively, that there is no force whatever
in the argument, but that, on the contrary
it is for the interest of the Lake counties
10 elect Gen. Dodge. No one for mo-
ment can doubt but what it would be vast
ly for the interest Of Eastern Wisconsin 10
secure the immense lead trade Of the mi
neral region through it, and that this bust
ness alone, aside from the many ether adj
vantages we possess, would afford business
sufficient TO sustain large and populous
towns on the Lake, and at the same time
afford a good western market for the sur
plus products of our farmers. This must
be readily admitted by every one acquaint-
ed with the extent Of the lead trade IN Wes-
tern Wisconsin. Now we believe II to be
an admitted fact with all those engaged in
the mining business, that with increased
facilities for transporting their lead through
the Territory to the Lake shore, by means
Of good roads for the present, and canals
and railroads eventually, as the Territory
or the future State shall be able to con-
struct them, without running too much an
DEBT, is for their interest also, as they, too
would be directly benefited by shipping
their lead east by way OF the Lakes and
the Erie canal to New York; because they
can do in half the time and at less cost,
than by the roundabout way of New Or
leans. Then this is a measure land il IS
paramount in interest to the Territory at
this tre) in which both the eastern and
western portions Of the Territory are di-
rectly interested in accomplishing, and
which, should it be carried in operation,
would be Of immense benefit 10 both.
In order to effect this object il is ncces-
sary that HarborS should be constructed
on the Lake, and the roads through The
country should be improved; in other words
that Congress should make appropriations
for the Improvement Of the roads already
commenced by the General Government,
and also construct suitable Iiarbors on the
Lake Were these improvements made
Immediately, much Of the lead trade would
turn this way even at the present time,
and ultimately, as canals and railroads
were constructed, the whole or nearly The
whole trade would be secured.
Thus it will be plainly seen, we think
that the interest Of the eastern and western
portions are directly identified with each
other and that il is matter Of great lnte-
rest to both portions TO obtain the apProprl-
ations which we so much need on the Lake
shore.
As proof of what we have said IN re,
gard TO the attention which is already pad
to this subject in the mineral region, we
