| Corn Ttalk Sugar.-We learn that gentleman
on Gardner's Prairie, Walworth county. has made
arrangements tobuild mill for grinding corn-stalks
for the purpose of manufacturing corn sugar the
present season. He designs experimenting with
the view of arriving at the best method of producing
the article of sugar, which forms such an import
ant item among the articles of domestic use in the
west. Rev. o. Martin, and several other gentle
men in the vicinity of Burlington; are cutivating
small fields of corn the present season, for the pur
pose of making experiments in the production of SUI
gar. Every farmer but feel deeply interested
in the success of these efforts to produce at home,
an article which present largely swes the annual
amount of our importations from abroad. Although
there may be many who regard the manufacture Of
sugar from such a material, visionary and alto
gether lmpractcable, yet we have hi gh und unques
tlonable authority for regarding the matter favora-
bly, Hon. III. L. Ellsworth, Commissioner of the
United States Patent Office, has expressed himself
with much confidence that every farmer through
out the country may produce with ease sugar sulfi-
cient tor his family wants. He describes the pro-
simple, and accompanied with but little
pense, far the outlay for machinery is concern
ed; although considerable experience will be requ
red in order to its complete success. That sugar
has been produced from corn stalks in such man.
ner as to warrant the belief that its manufacture is
object, is stated on authority that hardly be
questioned The want of experience will doubtless
be the greatest obstacle TO the of the early
introduction of the manufacture.
There one or two presses in the territory
which engaged in aborve attempt to create
political capital, by clamoring about the inefficency
of our Delegate in Congress. They represent him
being influenced by but one purpose, to the neg
ect of all his other official duties, viz: the removal
of Gov. Doty from his present station as the chief
executive of this Territory. They insolently in
quire, "what has Gen. Dodge done for the Terri
tory?" "Where are our appropriations for har-
bors and for the improvement of our roads and for
the nav CATION OF our rivers! Just if they stupidity
supposed that our delegate has only to demand the
money, for the various contemplated improvements
in the Territory, and the thing is accomplished
Every who is uninfuenced by party predudi-
ces, and who has marked the disposition manifested
by Congress, in relation to the wants of the terrific
rymust that the obstacle thus far during this ses-
sion of Congress to obtaining appropriations tor
improvement, have been such delegate front his
Territory however efficient or persevering, could
have surmounted. No Delegate who has hereto
fore represented us in Congress, has applied him
self to his official duties with greater industry and
perseverance than Gen. Dodge; and if our reason
BILE requests have met with denial at the hands OF
Congress, the blame by means attaches itself to
the Delegate. Our petitions have been presented
d
delegate who formerly represented us. Gen.
Dodge on his arrival at Washington last winter,
found large number petitions which had been
Forwarded from the Territory, but which had not
been presented to Congress. Some of these petit
tons had been sent to the then acting Delegate,
months previous to the adjournment of Congress
so that there could have been no reasonable apollo
for boin toJ +lo
wishes of the petitioners. Whether this neglect of
duty of the former delegate meets with justification
the part of his admirers we know not. We
venture however to say that every petition thus far
which has been sent to Gen. Dodge, has been duly
disposed of by him agreeable to the instructions of
the petitioners, and that every other duty that has
been assigned to him by his constituents has been
discharged with fidelity.
With regard to the charge alleged against our
Delegate, that he has sought to obtain the re.
moval from office of the Governor of this Territory,
it in no respect reflects dshonor upon Gen. Dodge,
provided the charge be true. The appointment was
in the first place made contrary to the wishes of
large majority of the people of the territory, and
subsequently dissatisfaction the part of the peo-
pie has much increased. twill not be denied but
that large majority of the people of the territory,
desire the present executive officer removed, and
some other individual whose honesty and int gritty
less questionable, placed in his stead. If there
fore Gen. Dodge has sought the removal of this Of
fcer he has only acted in obedience to the will of
his constituents, and the people of both political
parties. But that our Delegate has directed his
energies to this object to the gect of his 9TH
er duties is idle talk, and emanates only from va
porting politicians, who seek to gain political ends
by unlustitiabe means.
u, We have been reqested by number of our
citizens, to make some remarks with regard to a
practice which exists to great extent with the
