our opponents, should learn us what to expect in
future.
We sincerely hope the Democratic party will
continue to stand aloof, as it has heretofore done,
from any resort to stratagem or device, or dlshon-
es.y, for the purpose of gaining political triumph
Let us trust alone to the potency of Democratic
principles for success-let US be vigilant in spread
ing these principles, and in persuading fellow
citizens of the necessity of their adoption. Let it
be understood that we go for sound currency
against a National bank and the great mass ofbanks
and their corrupting influences; against exclusive
legislation and chartered monied monopolies
against the iniqultous distribution principle, and
assumption of state debts by the general govern
ment. Let it be known that we go for the eeva-
ton of the laborng classes, and for such measures
oflegislation will best promote republican equal
ity among the people; for economy in every depart
ment of the government, and for abridging every
species of public extravaganza and expenditure
Let the history of legislation during the past two
years in this Territory, tell which party have been
most active in procuring change in our aristocrat-
&c system of county government. Who were the
most Jealous supporters of the town government

tive journals speak this sabjec and let the yeas
and nays now standing upon the record tell who
were mainly its supporters.

NEW POST OFFICE LAW.

A Bill is before Congress, which should it
become a law, will very materially change the
present law regulating Post Offices and Postage
A correspondent of the New York Express says
the bill will probably pass both houses, if the ad-
iournment Of Congress does not cut off its consider
alton.
The Bill proposes that the rates of postage be
concerned to federal currency-he postage on a
single letter for distance not exceeding so miles
to be five cents-every letter conveyed thirty
miles and not exceeding $50 miles, shall pay ten
cents--over $50 miles, and not exceeding 300
miles, Is cents-over 800 miles, and not exceeding
500 miles twenty cents; over 500 miles twenty-five
cents.
Another important provision in the Bill, is the
regulation of newspaper postage All newspapers
are to be subjected to letter postage except those
sent directly from the office Of the publisher. The
size of newspapers is also limited All news
papers exceeding given size, are subjected to an
extra postage of one cent for every five square inch
es, beyond the specified limitation. Several other
important regulations in the conveyance Of letters
are proposed in the bill.

WE learn from the Mineral Point Free
Press, that an active business is now going
on in that section Of the Territory in the
working of the copper mines. The cop
per mines Of Wisconsin are probably more
extensive than any other in North Amer
lea. The Free Press says, the mines com
mence south Of Mineral Point, and extend
northward to Lake Superior. Many years
will yet elapse before the vast resources Of
this extended region shall be fully develop
ed. There are now three furnaces for
smelling copper in the vicinity Of Mineral
Point. About $4,000 pounds of copper
produced at these furnaces, have recently
been sold in New York city, at II cents
per pound, cash. The quantity Of ore now
on hand ready for smelling, it is estimated
will yield $50, 900 more. OF the induce
ment for engaging in the mining business,
tho Free Press remarks as follows
From the productivencss Of the ore, at
least in this vicinity, and the facilities for
carrying on the business Of smelling,
large capital may be invested in as safe
and profitable business as can be found
any where. Capital is all that IS wamtedi
the materials are here-thc ground tenn
ing with rich ore, plenty of hands to work
the mines, and many other facilities which
were unknown when the smelling of lead
was commenced.
Where is there a country that holds out
fairer prospect to emigrants, or greater
inducements to capitalists, than the Terri
tory Of Wisconsin ? Lead and copper ores
sufficient to enrich country-other valu-
able ores which no one as yet inthis part
Of the country have pretended to smell
and a soil which it is hard to find a better!

Washington correspondent of the Journal

The line agreed upon is that which
was proposed by the King OF Holland, as
mediator as far rs the small Lake near
the rise of the river ST. Francis. Thence
it runs down to the southwest branches Of
81. johns river, leaving out strip Of our
territory about 100 miles long and twelve
broad. This belt OF land is " hat we give
up, though the King Of Holland gave it TO
us in his arbitramcnt. But, in lieu Of that
we are to get the free navigation of the
except above the Great Falls. We also
get Rouses's Point on Lake Champiain, a
place to which some Importance has been
attached in military point Of view"
0F9Thc Washington correspondent Of
the Commercial Advertiser says:
The items Of the convention are, in
substance, as follows:
Maine and Massachusetts, rclnquish
carly all the territory North Of the ST.
ohn's. That which they do not rclnquish
"a segment between that river and the St.
'ranciS.
The free navigation Of the ST. Johns
river is ccdcd by Great Britain to the United
States.
In consideration Of such accomplishments
on the part Of two States, the sum of $500,
900, to be equally divided between them,
is paid by Great Britain, which govern
ment also eGpulatcs 10 pay the expenses to
which Maine has been PIT, in delenccs of
the disputed territory This will amount
to some $500 600 more.
A liberal arrangement Of the Northern
boundary line, on the New"IIampshire,
Vermont and New York frontiers has been
acquiesced in by Great Britain.

ton. short time will enable me to give

The most contemplate creature upon
he rootstool af God, is the idle young man
f fashions.
He is a fool--(or he docs nothing for
himself or for society. There is no reason
why any one should like him-the world
should desire his absence.
He is a knavc--for he eats without labor
consumes without producing, lives by his
own fraud, or that Of some one to which he
is accessory. 1t is the law Of nature that
every one should produce at least as much
as he consumes: the fashionable exquisite
produces nothing--thc world is just so
much the worse for every garment he wears
and for every meal he eats.
More truly honorable in the sight Of hcav-
on is the farmers boy, who tills the fresh
green earth, glowing and sweating in the
sun; or the artizan who shapes shoe for
he farmer, or the scamStreSS, who plies
he needle for twelve shIIings a week, than
he haughtiest aristocrat in the world.
What but young bandit, he who rides
bout, and walks in Broadway, drawing his
tcvenue from the toll Of score or Two of
Mechanics?
There will come time when the drOnes
of humanity will be driven from the hive Of
society. When the law 'eXccpta man work
neither shall he eat shall be cnrorceG-
when the lder shall every where be in con-
tempt.
