Mr.. EDIToR:

Mr. EDITOR:
The greatest evil that scourged a people is
excessive and fuctuating legislation. 1t is not only
great tax upon the inhabitants, but wrong and op-
pressive in its operations. For reason it al
ways is found in a new country. Hence there have
been many petitions in circulation with some of tho
most influential names in the county attached there
to- praying Congress to appropriate the expenses of
the Legislature for the three years to objects
of internal improvement. Why is it soy The an
is found above. The people are legisated into
poverty and distress The remark is often made
that any man can get most any kind of a law passed
that he wants. He first gets upn few secret petit
tons and circulates them among his friends, and
then repairs to Madison. After lobbying it few
days, he comes home with The law in his pocket
There is another fact wish to call the attention
of the people to in relation to the law of mill and
milldams. The rivers in Wisconsin Territory are
generally without falls as the is in mountainous
counries-hence to create 4 fall of water sufficient
to propel machinery enough for milling and other
purposes, a large tract of land must be necessarily
flooded. This cannot be denied. AS matter of
course, the land that is flowed will be entered
and occupied. Again the flowing of large tracts of
land will produce diseases unquestionably from the
decomposition Of vegetable mater that must GER
tanly take place during every warm season. No
can deny but what these two facts very much
retard the settlement OF the neighborhood in which
any mill is located upon the lands overlooked to
considerable distance
Many will say must have mills: True, and
we can have them; we can have them here as well
in any and all countries, and can have them
too without unjust and oppressive laws: If there
81 not natural water power sufficient the wants
of the community would soon suggest to capitalists
erect steam mills. All free people prefer to pay
a higher price for any thing than sacrifice principle.
But have already wearied the patience Of my
ders; have only intended to call their attention to
the aw, their own good sense will see its naked
deformity. It may be found on the So, 66, 81, So,
60, 10, ~ and II pages OF the session laws OF 1889
and 1870. It's length is enough 10 deter most any
one from its perusal, yet just call upon every
of equal rights to read through it, and then consid
err for himself whether it should not be Immediately
effaced from statutes, EQUAL RIGHTS.

| past session Of Congress, let him examine
the journals Of the House Of Representa-
lives, and see the great number OF petitions
that have been offered and the resolutions
and bills introduced in conformity to the IN
teres,s, and in obedience to the wishes OF
tho people in different portions OF the
Territory, and he can but be satisfied that
the Iabors Of the Delegate have Leen ardu-
Gus and many. The interests Of harbors
on our lake shore was by no means the
only duty, to which our Delegate was call
ed by his constituents. In the western
portion Of the territory, the condition Of the
Mineral lands and the mining interests de-
manded much Of his time, and received
that attention due to the people Of that por-
ton Of the Territory. In the northern
part Of the Territory there were also in
ierests which required and received his
time and attention. And when it is taken
into the consideration how few Of the null
lipllci,y Of bills and measures introduced in
the past Congress were passed, or received
any final action in either House, it must
be admitted that nothing but untring per-
severence could have carried our [lar5or
Bill through single branch of the Nation
al Legislature.
What the result Of the Harbor Bill has
been in the Senate ii is impossible to say;
if any action has been obtained u BON it in
that body,it has doubtless passed. Up to oul
latest dates from Washington; a great
amount Of unfinished business which had
accumulated in the Senate, yet remained
to be acted upon. Many Of the bills before
that body doubtless were not called up be-
fore the adjournment.

MIR. EDITOR: ! saw an article in your paper Of
yesterday, headed Mii!erism;' which is said to
be correct summa airy of the Miller theory. This,
have no doubt, is correct; but have very strong
doubts of the correctness of the theory itself. To
say nothing of Mr.. Miller's incongruity in calling
twenty four hours year, day, as best suits
his chronology or, of the difference of time which
constituted the Jewish year and that of our own;
shall only quote few passages of scripture, which
l think will satisfy every candid and rejecting mind
that neither Mr.. Miller any of his followers can
predict the time of any future event, which God
has never fit to reveal. Let, then, the believ
ers in Mlerism carefully read the 18th chapter of
Mark, but especially the so, 81, 80 and SO verses
-"Verly say unto you that this generation shall
not pass till all these things be done-Heaven and
Earth shall pass away, bu, my words shall not pass
away-But of that day and shat hour knoweth no
man. no. not the angels which are in Heaven, nei-
Their the Son, but the Father-Take We heed watch
and pray; for We know not when the time is
Would it not be better for each of US, instead of
vainly Specializing on the time of the end, W hich

shine before men, that they may see your good
works and glorify your Father which is in

BUSINESS FACILITIES.

1t will doubtless be gratifying TO the pub
lie to learn that preparations are now be-
ing made, to enlarge the facilities for re-
ceiving and discharging freight from steam
boats and vessels at this place the coming
season of navigation. The WHARF at this
place, which has passed into the hand OF
Messrs. Hutchinson, Wheeler and Peters,
we are authorized to say, will be- extended
and enlarged, so as TO fully accommodate
the business wants Of the community. The
timber and material are now in readiness
for this purpose, and the operations Of pile
driving. &c. will be commenced as soon
as the state Of the weather will admit.
The building of wharf on piles, and
extending into the lake to sufficient depth
Of wafer, to admit the approach Of steam
boats and vessels, Cal no longer be regar-
ded as matter Of doubtful experiment.
When this work was undertaken at this
place nearly two years ago, it was regar-
ded by many as visionary enterprise and
of doubtful utility. During the season Of
navigation last year its utility and convent
ence was fully tested; steamboats, and ves-
sells were enabled to discharge and receive
freigh,s with great expedition and despatch
and although the wharf was in an un6nish-
ed state last season, still officers Of steam
boats were generally highly pleased with
the conveniences it afforded them. For
the purpose Of supplying steamboats, with
wood, wharf constructed after the plan
Of the one at this place is found TO be
highly advan;a gcous.
The apprehensions which were former
~ entertained, that work Of this kind was
liable TO be destroyed, in consequence of
the accumulation Of ice, &c. during the
winter season have also been removed
AS great, however, as may be tho conve-
n;ence and utility Of the aforementioned
work, it by no means supercedes the ne
cessity Of harbor; it affords no protection
to vessels in storm. When life and pro-
perty are in imminent peril, and exposed
to destruction upon the waves Of the tu-
! multuous deep, nothing but harbors can
afford safety on Lake Michigan.
Among the most important articles now
ready for shipment as soon as navigation
opens is that Of lead. Messrs. Hutchinson.
Wheeler and Peters have large amount
now on hand ready for expor,atIon.--
Messrs. Merrill and Elkins arc also recei-
wing large quantities from the mineral re-
gion for expectation.

o. The following extract from the
Plattevile Wing, we commend to the at
tention of those concerned IN the com
merce and business Of Southport. Espe-
cially is the lead trade matter Of the
highest consideration to the business men
Of this town; the natural advantages for
constructing good road from this place to
the lead mines are not surpassed. Now
is the time to make suitable effort: with
proper exertion full share Of the lead
business may be brought to Southport an
other season. Were the people Of South
port only disposed to move in the matter
Of having good road constructed mme-
diately to the mineral country, sufficient
encouragement Mt might be obtained on thelre
of the route to accomplish it within short
period. The towns intermediate between
us and the mineral region, feel lively in
terest in the matter, and are ready to as
sst in the enterprise Of constructing roads.
the lakes there is not doubt, but as to whether
that is the best way not there is diversity of
opinion among those engaged in the trade. The
failure OF a few houses in New Orleans, however,
make utlittle difference with the great amount
of capital invested in the business Much capital
could be we'll invested in the lead trade, and it
be wondered at that some measure to protect that
interest has not been proposed and carried through
before this time. Eastern enterprise with greater
facilities will do more towards gaining that part of
western productions than the uncertain and very
long route to market. A vast amount of lead and
copper has been sent market by way of the Lakes
within the last year and another will show be-
lieve, that all the lead of the Upper Mines will go
to market by way of the lakes. In connection with
this subject is that of good road across the Terri
tory to the lake. 1t should be sgitated and some
thing should be done Immediately. If the lead
is worth it, we hope friends the border will
attend 10 1t and see that something should be done
Immediately by which the people can have passa-
bic road to and from the harbors the lake

A Washington correspondent of the Galena Adj
vertiser, Wing paper, has the following remarks
In relation to this Territory:
"On motion of General Dodge, of Wisconsin,
the committee took up the bill concerning the Leg
isatve Assembly of that Territory, which was de-
bated at some length, but vote was taken in
consequence of there not being quorum, but
feel satisfied that the legislature ,cU be sustained
but whether at the expense of the governor being
superseded, cannot pretend to say. although the
guard in the discussion took decided stand against
him."

u We invite the attention Of the Democratic
Electors of this county, to the call for County
Convention to be held at Racine on the 18th inst.
1t is very desirable that every town in the county
should be represented, and it is hoped that the DEM
ocrats of the severa! towns will make suitable ex
ertion 10 insure tho attendance of delegation the
proposed Convention If we are not misinformed
it is not designed to confne the convention to
limited number of delegates from the different
towns; the object of the convention does render
it important to particularly limit its numbers. In
every town where it is practicable to call primar
meetings before the proposed convention, it doubt
less will be advisable to do it, as such course
nigh, be more likely to ensure representation in
the convention; but where the calling of a primary
meeting is not convenient it is hoped individuals
will feel interested and attend the convention. One
of the objects Of the convention at Racine, is TO ap-
point delega to attend the Democratic Terriio
rial Convention to be held at Madison on the 22d
