IMPORTANCE OF THE CoNrEsr-Every Democra,
should bear in mind, that the ensuing election is
one OF greater consequence, than any which has
preceded 1t during the last four years. Since 1888
there has been no election in which both branches
of the legislature throughout, were chosen anew.
This renders the presen election of more than ordi-
nary importance. Results are involved in the issue
OF the approaching contest, which cannot fail to ex-
cite the interest of every well wisher of the Terri
tory. A corrupt executive is making every posi-.

AN ILLINOIS FARM.

faint idea Of its extent, we will name that
The first field which meets the eye of the
traveller, as he approaches the town Of

twenty-five bushels per acre.
The breaking or ploughing Of the pra;-

came a little under that on some days, it
went higher on others. We add these

In great majority of the counties of the Terri
tory, where the Wings have made their nomna-
tons for the legislature, they calculate the popu-
lary of their ticket, in proportion It is Doty or
antl-Doty. The ant-Doty Wing candidates are
decidedly most popular with the Wing party, and
their election is calculated upon with much more
certainty than the election of those who still cling
10 corrupt Executive. Racine county appears to
be an exception in this respect nearly every 9th
err county in the Territory. Here they have full
nomination of candidates devoted to Doty. There
are however, many honest Wings in the county,
who desire poll teal affinity with Doty, and who
will be slow TO come to his support at the ensuing
election.

LATE FROM CHINA BY the bark OIoi'
Wyk, Cayt. Canton dates Of April 18th
have been received, containing full ac-
oounie OF the rcpulse Of the Chinese their
attack on Ningpoo, for which bare OUT
line was brought out by the Britannia.
The official circular Of SIR Henry Potter
states that the attack was made by a
force of chinese estimated at FROM 10 to
$4,000 men. They were driven back by
grape and canister with loss Of some
3oO men. Not man was killed Of the
British troops. The attack on Chinhea
was much more feeble; about thirty Chi
nesc were killed. The steamer Nemesis
sent her boat into a creek " here il was
understood the Chinese were collecting.
The Chinese here also were repulsed,
with loss Of about thirty. The Circular
says that the Chinese army is dsorganizcd
am will probably soon be Dissolved.
The Commander Of the u. S. E. l. Squad
ron has issued Circular, addressed to
the United States Consul at Canton, for
bidding American vessels from smuggling
opium.
1t is said tina, the American merchants
will now demand satisfaction for the gross
outrage committed by the Chinese aDthori-
ties on the boat Of the Morrison and the
murder Of one Of the crew; and if neces-
sary, both the Constellation and Boston

Communicated,

Mr.. EDlToR:-
Many are inquiring what motive prompted
Gov. Doty's late visit to our county; I am fully
convinced that shall be doing his excellency no
injustice in believing that he came for the express
purpose of counstling with the few who still follow
in his wake, and be prepared to increase any disaf
lection which perchance might arise in the Demo
cratic ranks; and to secure if possible the nomin-
alton by the Wing party, of such men as would at
the coming session assist him, to carry out such
as his fast failing, and almost desperate
circumstances may require. For lis certain that

remarked that the Democrats of Racine county
in a beautiful snarl; sufficient in all PROBABLE
ity to insure their defeat and the election of the
whig ticket. But sir, trust his excellency is en-
trely fault, in his estimation of the character of
the Democrats of Racine county, admitted by all to
be the banner county of Democratic Wisconsin,
and one which the friends of Democracy through
out the entire Territory, look too, with confidence
and expect her to send to the Legislative Assembly
Democrats only She will not disappoint them
At this place | feel confident that the Democrats
will rally unitedly, and to man. the feeling of dis
satisfaction here momentary; Mr.. Wright had
many warm friends, who were anxious to secure
his nomination, and during the brief excitement
consequent upon his defeat, some few of them ex-
hibited feelings unfriendly to the nominated ticket.
But know Mr.. w. himself to be man, who has
cherished and supported the pure principles of
Democracy, and who will most assuardly suffer
rihing consideration oprevent him from aiding in
carrying out the declared wishes of that party of
which he has SO long been consistent and efficient
member, and the same may be said OF all his friends

A QUEsTIoN.-Can an elector be political friend
of Doty, and at the same time not be political
friend ofTyer? To give any other than direct
negative answer to the foregoing question would be
an equivocation unjustifable To assert that
Doty man is not Tyler man, politically, is an alb
surdity. Not that would draw any comparison
between these two persorages in point of talent,
consistency, or of political honesty for in this
pect Tyler mmeasurably transcends Doty. But
it is truth of general notoriety that Doty is fol-
lower of Tyler, and that he processes to support all
his measures and political doctrines The Wiscon-
sin Enquirer, which is Doty's official paper, owned
by him in part, and by him wholly dictated and
controlled, is an advocate OF Tyler, his measures
and his administration Doty writes for the En-
quirer dictates the political aspect of its columns,
and rses it as an instrument of his own. How then
can any man avow himself politically friendly to
the principles of Doty, and at the same time disa-
VOW any political friendship for the principles of
Tyler. Doty processes to adopt Tyler's principles
as his own, and endorses his public measures. Can
such Wings therefore, who profess to be opposed to
the principles of John Tyler, consistently give their
votes to Doty men,
