"RACINE.-We admire the enterprise of this
beautiful little town in Wisconsin in her exertions
and endeavors for a harbor. Already have her
citizens, at their own expense, extended into the
Lake some two hundred feet of piers and already
have sufficient water to float small vessels The
piers fifty feet apart and the channel is full to
each pier and averages feet in depth"
The above extract from the Chicago Democrat,
will doubtless be an astounding piece ofinteligence
to our mel ghbors ct Racine, well to most 9TH
er people IN these parts. Our next intelligence
from Chicago may be, that Root river has been
rendered navigable for steam boats and that Pike
creek has entirely evaporated. We knew that
Racine was an enterpnsing and fourishing town,
and that its inhabitants We're public spirited, and
we are sorry to say that the piers described in the
Democrat, " extending t,oo hundred feet into the
lake, exist only in the ina gina ton of the writer
Of the foregoing extract. We know our friends at
Racine making efforts to obtain an appropria-
ton during the present session of Congress, we'll

these towns succeed in obtaining this of justice
on the part of Congress, it would be matter OF
congratulation to the people of the Territory.

CANAL SETTLERS.

Mr.. Upham, of Milwaukee, in addressing the
Council the resolution to remit the interest to
the settlers the Canal lands, drew the following
faithful picture of the condition of the inhabitants
living on the Canal route:--
"There was not the slightest reason why this
interest should not be RENTED. The settlers have
strong claims upon the Legislature. He was
aware that gentlemen from other counties were
not fully conversant with their situation They
had been deuded and deceived with reference to
the canal. All were willing to say now that it
could not be constructed for twenty years to come
Even the report of the Canal Company says there
is not much probability of their negotiating loan,
so that the work can be completed within the time
limited by law. What is the situation of these set
tiers! They came into the country like most 9TH
ers-a poor class general -expecting to get the
lands upon which they settled at the minimum
price, and expecting also the right of pre-empton;
and he (Mr. u. well recollected when the news
came from Washington that the lands were to be
doubled In price, the excitement and opposition
which were the result They were taken by sur
prise. They did not wish such a muhifcent dona
uon--by which Government doubled the price of
It's own land, and refused to let the Territory sell
what had been given to 1t for the Canal at a less
rate. Strenuous efforts were then made by those
interested in the Canal to allay the excitement;
settlers were told that the Canal would be con-
structeu In llVe or SIX years-that they would real
lie great benefit from the expenditure of the money
amongst them-that fine market would be open
ed for their produce, which would enable them
without the least trouble to money enough to
pay for their lands. They were induced to believe
that under these circumstances it would be easier
to pay twenty shlllngs an acre, than under other
circumstances, to pay ten, and they had been I'M
der that belief to the present time.
The Legislature by the acts it had passed, had
told them IN almost so many words that their hopes
should not be disappointed, that the work would
progress and under this expectation they had
been induced to spend the small pittance they had,
relying upon the idea that they would be able to
make money enough to pay for their lands in the
way before stated. They now the canal can
not be constructed, within the time required by
law and they ask as matter of right and Justice
that the whole amount of interest due may be re-
mitted'

If then a curtailment of nearly one-half of the
legislative expenses, might be calculated upon,
were the Territory obliged TO pay the same instead
of the general government it is reasonable to sup
pose that reduction of expenditures, would be eff
tected In other departments of the government
There is SCARCELY single instance where the gen.
eral government is charged for public services rem
dered in the Territory, in which there ght not be
lessening of salaries.
What the state of public opinion in the Territory
is at the present time, with regard to changing GU
Territorial government to that of State, we are
unable to say. 1t is true that there has once been
an expression of the people this subject but since
that expression obtained, population has
greatly increased if not nearly doubled. And
whatever course the Legislature may recommend or
adopt this occasion, during It's present session,
will not be regarded as the clear and unequivocal
expression of the people, because it is impossible to
say whether it is, is not the present will of the
people to become State. The question should be
fairly and dlspassionately canvassed the people
should not throw off their Territorial dependence,
and aspire to the rights of State Sovereignty
without deliberation. Neither should they be too
much influenced by those sordd and groveng poll
ticians, who attempt to frghten the public mind,
by inflated statements of prospective taxes That
man is unworthy of the boon of freedom, who hes
itates to enter into its full exercise for the reason
that it may draw an additional sixpence from his
pocket.

PRICE OF FLOUR IN ENGLAND AND AMERICA-It is
singular fact that the price of flour in England
has been very seldom much higher than in this
country The Philadelphia Gazette gives some in
teresting statistics upon this subject.
The average price of -four in England from 1884
to 1899 was, in New York ASS. 10d. sterling, and
In Eng land SIS. per quarter.
The present price in London is about So per Dbl
In New York it is SIS Is cts. To get a barrel of
flour to London costs-duty say 81 freight 20 cts
insurance, &c, 30 cts. making with duty So
This added to the original price of -four and it will
cost, in London, 50 IS cts. But deduct from this
the premium exchange, say 20 cts, and we have
the actual cost of barrel of flour, when it reaches
London, 50 05 cts. This at the present price would
be loss of S 05.
But suppose there wasno duty to pay, how would
1t stand! The price In London is BIS. 3D. Freight,
&c, 5s Sd. sterling. This will leave 3Is. Cd,
which is equal to 81 05 cts To this add the pre-
MUM on exchange, and it will make the -four worth
to the holder in London, s. %. Deduct the cost
from this IS, and it would leave clear profit of
81.
From the foregoing it will be seen, that -four
cannot be exported to England, except at heavy
loss To make it profitable to export, with the pre-
sent scale of duties, -four should sell in Few York
at So so. If the duty offin England, and pre-
prices sustained, the exporter could afford to
pay 81 80.
From these facts we infer that were the English
ports open, the prices would be so high in this
country that expectation would be scarcely profita

In the House of Representatives this morning,
Mr.. Thompson of Indiana, gave notice that on
tomorrow he will introduce bill making appro-
pratons for the continuance of the Cumberland
Road.
Petitions were then received from those States
and Territories which had not heretofore been
called
Mr.. Fillmore asked the House to take up the
Presidents message, with view TO its reference,
Mr.. Adams desired the consideration of the
ton made by him on Tuesday might be resumed !;
but the House by general consent took up the
Message.
Mr.. Fillmore then offered string of resolutions
referring each subject alluded to in the Message to
appropriate committee.
One of the resolutions proposes to refer that por
ton of the message relating to the Tariff, to the
Committee on Manufactures.
Mr.. Anterior desired its reference to the Com
mlttee on Ways and Means, and moved an amend
ment to that effect.
This motion gave rise 10 a long debate.
Mr.. Anterior and his friends contended that as
all bills relating to the raising of revenue belonged
to the Committee on Ways and Means, this tariff
subject ought not to have that reference they also
urged that the President viewed the the question
in no other light than one of revenue.
On the other hand, Messrs Fillmore, Briggs,
and others agreed that, although it was quite a

THE ENqUIRER.-A work having this title has
been commenced at Albany, N. Y, Edited by
Edward C. Deavan. The first number before US
contains nearly 100 quarto pages of closely printed
matter. From PREPARATORY note, we learn that
Mr. Delavan at his own individual expense, has
sent copy of the Enquirer to every publisher of
a newspaper, minister of the gospel, and post mas
ter in the United States, so far as names, and pla
ces of residence could be ascertaned.
Mr.. Delavan has been long and favorably known,
as one of the most efficient and able champions of
the cause of Temperance in the United States.-
The Enquirer is devoted to that cause and it is
probable that no work of the same number of pa
ges, has ever been published in this country, en-
bracing so much profound investigation, research,
and fact as the one under present consideration. 1t
embodies the scientific investi cations of many of
the most eminent of the Medical profession in the
United States. The opinions of the most distin-
guished and learned of the Clergy, Civilians pro-
fessors of Colleges and literary Institutions which
contained in the work, contribute to give it a
weight of character, rarely met with in the
literary productions of the age.
The work is afforded at twenty-five cents per sim
gle copy without plates, or $l.00 per copy with
plates. The plates which were designed by Pro-
fessor Scwall of Washington City, and which are
approved by some of the most distinguished of the
Medical faculty in the country, represent the hui
man stomach in its various stages, from temperate
drinking, to confirmed habits of inebrietv. No
habtual drinker of ardent spirits, can look at the
transformations which such habits produce upon
the internal organic structure of man, without
startling at the picture. The scientific demonstra-
tons which these plates exhibit, are enough to
convince any reasonable man, that the hard drink
er practises upon himself species of suicide.
To the clergy of the different denominations the
work is of great value. 1t contains great
number of dissertations and opinions, on what is
usually termed the Swine Question: and the kind
of wine proper for sacramental occasions-Those
DESTROYS of subscribing for the work, will address

Southerly Bend of Lake Michigan have a re-

tract OF country belongs to that Territory. No law
OF Congress can deprive them of this right. Il

that portion OF Gov. Doty message, which relates

adopt measures for the admission of the Territory
OF Wisconsin into the Union as State We think
such measure unadvisable on many accounts, of
which we will enumerate one two First, be-
cause we are too poor to sustain the burden of a
