lngs of our Legislature. When started
for that place, | expected to find on my
arrival there, each member of the Houss
and Council engaged in transac,ing bwi
ness for the Territory. 70 my surpis,
however, | found that the members ofM
House or greater part of them, were
engaged in playing billiards, which
seems to be a favorile game with them.
With the Council the case was some
what different. The members of lhs
Council, appeared to be decent, respsele
Die men, and were in general more after
tive to business than the members Of The
House. / see by the Official returnso
the Election that majority of the mem
bers ofthe House were returned as Demo
Gratis. Perhaps they are. But if lhey
are, | must confess that have misappr-
hended the meaning of the word. have
always understood one Of the vital primer
pies of democracy to be: that the majority
shall govern in all cases. And another
one to be: that the people are capable d
governing themselves--and Of settling al
local questions as well as general ones q
the ballot box. These were the primer
pies | had imbibed and by which haa
been taught to be governed. have WI
messed, however, that have been greatly
mistaken. | have for the first time, as'
certained that there are some things which
are of "too much importance to aatra
the people aDith" In other words--ha'
the Legislature know better what,he PEG
pie want, than they do themselves.
During my soiourr in Burlington

legal voters of Cedar Comfy praying lna

gnlar fate. A motion was made, asnns
that the rules Of the House might DO so,

FlRE.--Our citizens were alarmed at
the cry of fire on yesterday morning a
bout O'Clock. The fire originated in
the Tin and Stove Mandatory of Mr..
S. A. Hudson. Before it was got under,
the whole establishment of MIR Hudson,
with most of his stock and books. and the
large two story buildings adjoining, be-
longing TO VIM. II. Starr Esq. and DR.
Edgar, were consumed These three
gentlemen are great losers, none of their
property being insured. The fire was
arrested chiefly by the high brick walls
of Hudson's new building.

of our opponents. They have rallied a
round the standard Of that party without
knowing it had stolen the livery of De-
mocracy in which it could the better car.
ry out It's aristocratic plans. We ask the
honest democrats to look at their leaders.
What marks of democracy characterize
their measures Did not most of them
once belong TO the old Federal party
They most assuredly did.
We call upon you then no longer to
contribute any thing TO carry out their
schemes. Many, such as you, in Ohio,
Tennessee. Indiana and other States. in
time of need, came ''straight OUT for
Harrison and Reform; will you not join
their ranks? Whatever potency may be
attached to the word Democracy, it will
henceforward be appropriated to the
Harrlsonians throughout the U. States.
They are the true Democrats in princi.
pie and in numbers as we'll as in name;
and our opponents must either adopt our
principles or give up that glorious name
which they have been SO long permitted
to prostitute to the worst of political pur-
poses.
Let the true Democrats of Des Moines
then rally to day, and welcome their
brethren from other counties; let there be
nothing niggardly in the hospitality of the
democratic citizens of Burlington; let the
latch strings of all be hung out; let every
guest have knife and fork and well
filled plate; and let us have a day of
thanksgiving and rejoicing. not forgetting
to give one long and loud hurrah for the
Hero of Iippecanoe.

MIR SUMMERS.

This important parsonage seems deter
mined to cut a figure in the newspapers.
Ii however he expects to make political
capital by entering into controversy with
us, he is mistaken. He seems to take it in
high dudgeon because we did not see pro-
per to answer certain letter he sent US
the other day, and appears so much dis
appointed in not having some notice talk
EN- of it tha, he has had it published in the
Gazette, with various additions and ex-
plantations. This letter was written after
he had done us all the mischief he could.
and it was too late for him to make anv
PREPARATION. As this was not the only in.
stance III which he had made statements
about US which were adevoid of truth"
we considered that in sending to us such
letter, at such time, he was actually
adding insult to injury. 1t was on this
account that we took no notice of his
epistle. AS he seems determined to place
himself prominently before the public,
and as he has called on US 'spublicly to
say what part Of his statement s'was de-
void of TRUTH we now feel it due to our
self to notice the matter. Without at.
tempting to point out all the parts of his
speech which were "devoid of truth" we
shall simply mention two of the mos.
glazing Of his charges. He stated, in sub
stance, that we were unfair in all our deal
ings, and he also endeavored to influence
the Legislature by charging us with once
having failed in our contract while print
ing the Laws of Wisconsin. In regard
TO the truth of the first sweeping charge
we are willing all those should Judge with
whom we have ever had dealin gs With
respect to the second Mr. L. himself might
have known that it was without founda-
ion. The failure to print the Laws in
season was no fault Of ours. 1t was on
he part OF those whose duty required
hem TO furnish US with the copy. The
members of the Wisconsin Legislature
we're so well assured Of this, Tint they an
'ropriated us all the remuneration we ev-
II asked of them for that Job.
As we have long since ceased to care
or any thing such men as Mr. Summers
night say, we shall in future forbear to-
lotIce his newspaper scriblings only so
ar as it may afford amusement to our rea-
lers. If it is notoriety he seeks, he shall
lave enough of il before we are done, as
We propose to carry on our part of the
warfare in rhyme. We give the following
S specimen verse;
From giving him fair fight VIC never shall
shrink.
Provided its always conducted with ink;
But really such fellows as this ssMotion Ma
kerr
Are enough to turn warlike peace loving

We received similar letter from the

persons refused to take their papers from,
the post office in that city. We forward
ed their accounts to one of our represent
ta.ives, with request that they pay over
the amounts due to him previous to the

Mr. A. Logan,
Sir, My very particular friend Mr..

presented your bill (for payment Of 81
subscription money for your valueless
paper.
Now should not proprie,y have advised
you to have withheld the presentation of
this bill until the end of the year!
Most certainly it should Il conceive it
would be gentlemanly at least for you to
have awaited the expiration of the year
and then demanded Of me the 4 dollars.
You shall have the money. however,
oy Mr. - at the close of the presen,
session of the Legislature, suppose YOU
Ian wait that long. You are doubtless in
pressing need for money-your paper in
licates that fact. A few dollars appro.
orlated for commas, periods and other
characters necessarily appertaining to
good printing press, would in the opinion
'f your subscriber be judiciously ex-
pended. Don't give yourself any fur,h-

The following Order from the General

many who own lots in this and other
towns interested. Our Delegate is very
much applauded because he used his in
fuence in the matter. That's right; as we
suppose those who thus applaud 60 on
the principle Of being thankful for the
smallest favors. Gen. d. would have
been culpable had he neglected to make
the required representations in this mat
Ter, inasmuch as his late situation enabled
him to see the embarrassing situation in
which many Of his constituents were
placed. So far as having performed his
duty is concerned, he deserves praise
no farther.
