FOR OUR FRIENDS DOWN EAs

/ FUR OOh ENDS DOW n EAS l..
The place for emigrants TO land is Milwaukee
There are good roads that lead from this place to
every part OF the interior Here too are teams to
hire or sell to take families TO their places of desti
nation, and abundant supplies of stock, that are
driven here from Illinois and Indiana 10 find mar
ket In fact, Milwaukee is the point of business
( on the Lake shore Of the Territory; and who does
not know that the best place to do business is
where business is!
/ u The above concluding aragraph of an arti
Gle addressed to emgrans, which we take from the
Milwaukee Courier, is all we'll enough; but never
theless, as we deem 1t proper that people abroad
should be pu: IN possession of as much information
as possible, IN relation to this interesting Terrific
ry most respectfully take the liberty to saw to
- our friends down east and to others who pur-
pose coming to Wisconsin, that a very good
''PLAcE FOR EMIGRANTs TO LAND Is SoUrHPoRr."
We have a variety of reasons which, in our OPT
Mon, are sufficient to warrant US in making this
declaration-a few only at this time must suffice.
Ire country In the vicinity and west IF Southport
to Rock river, is rich and fertile as any in the
Territory, and the inducements to agricuurists
and other branches of industry, to settle in this
tract OF country are great as elsewhere in Wis
consIn. The roads leading from Southport into
TINS, iiIlciiOI are SoOi cams iOr the conveyance
OF fa1ies and emf grants to their places of destina
ton, can be purchased or hired cheap. Cattle
which are driven mere from the South to find a
market, can probably be purchased as Low here as
they can further north As to business, Southport
to be sure is not the greatest place in the Western
world, but still 1t possesses the and the
pabilities of accommodating the wants of trade to
quite an extensive region Of country. And with all
due difference to the - great point Of business on
the Lake Shore we viii say TO emgrants, if they
wish to SAVE MONEY IN landing on our Wisconsin
shores from steamboats, and vessels, they had bet
ter stop at SOUTHPORT
The present season will unquestionably be one
during which thousands will emigrate to this Ter
ritory from the East. Those who come to Wis
consin by way of the Lakes, with the design of
settling in Milwaukee or its vicinity certainly had
better stop there-those who come with the view
oflocating Racine or its vicinity certainly should
stop there from the boats. We have no doubt
that each of the rival towns on the Lake
shore. will receive its proper share of business
from the boats during the season of navicaton and
we trust the greatest good nature will prevail
among those whose interests may be differently
identified.

ELECTIONS IN WALwoRTH AND Rock

ELECTIONS IN WALwoRTH AND Rock
COUNTIES. wings in the counties OF
Walworth and Rock have succeeded in
electing whig sheriAs by majority of some
twenty in each county. This result has
caused considerable exultation among GER
tain politicians, and an impression is at
tempted TO be made upon the public mind,
that the success Of the whig ticket in Wal
worth and Rock counties is great tri-
umph. In view of the onward march Of de-
mocratic victories in different sections Of
the Union, the wings seem to regard every
result in which they do not sustain = defeat.
as great triumph; Notwithstanding they
may hitherto have had the political ascen-
dency in the town, county, or precinct in
which these victories are gained
The county of Rock has always been
conceded to the wings by some 60 or 70
majority. In the county of Walwcrth the
wings in past years have claimed malo-
rity Of from 40 to so, and it has been con-
coded we belive by the democrats that on
strict party vote, the wings have hitherto
had the numerical strength. The recent
result in Walworth and Rock, therefore.
only shows that the wings have elected
their sherifs by maiorities considerably re-
duced from those which they have former
ly claimed

o. The Mississippi river above Saint
Louis is in the full tide of navigation
steamboats, are plying briskly upon its wa
ters. The Burlington (Iowa) Gazette in
reference to the river business, has the fol-
lowing remarks:
"By reference to our steamboat regis
ter, it will be observed that during the past
week that we have had large number of
arrivals Every boat from the south that
has touched our wharf, has come heavily
i'reighted with merchandise, emigrants and
passengers--whilst none have departed on
return trip without heavy cargo of our
products--pork, wheat, flour, corn, dry
hides, &c. &c. &c. In addition to which
several flat boats have been fitted out here
and taken their departure for the southern
markets. Indeed, we have never seen our
wharf and the city generally present so
lively and business like an appearance as
during the last ten days-The Osprey
landed at our wharf on Thursday, loaded

to this Territory, ll5 Of whom landed at

MILWAUKEE County ELEcTIoN..-Ow-
ing 10 unfortunate divisions in the Demo-
cratic party in Milwaukee county, the
wings have succeeded in electng Holton,
the wh;g sheriff: There were three can
didates in the field, viz: Barsow, Holton,
and Aldrich. Barstow was the regularly
nominated candidate by the democratic
convention. Holton was nominated by q
mass meeting which did not purport TO be
exclusively whig or democratic, but a sort
Of catch all, for the disafiected Of all par
tles:-the chief wire-Workers of the meet
ing, however, were wings. Aldrich was
a candidate who came Into the field on his
own hook. The peculiar circumstances
under which Aldrich came before the pco-
pie, were such rs to draw to bis support a
large vote from the democratic party, which
Of course proved the defeat Of Barstow the
regularly nominated candidate. The cir
cumstances to which we allude in the case
OF Aldrlch, are stated as follows in the
Milwaukee Courier. g Mr.. Aldricb was
sheriff Of Milwaukee county from 1886.
when he WAS appointed by Gov. Dodge,
and continued to serve until 1912, when
for political considerations he was removed
by Gov. Doty. The unjust treatment
which Mr.. Aldrich had received at the
hands Of Gov. Doty and bis party, had ex-
cited in his favor the sympathy Of many Of
his old democratic friends, who testified in
this manner their sense Of the injustice
that had been done him.
Thus the Democrats Of Milwaukee BY
dividing their strength between two candi-
dates, have suffered the wings to elect their
sheriff. There were but two candidates for
Judge Of Probate run, and the democrats
have probably elected their candidate by q
respectable majority.

common as we'll as the higher branches of study,
exhibited creditable proficiency, and sustained
their examinations in a satisfactory manner. The
scholars did not merely recite the theories of the
departments of science, in which they had been en-
gagged, but were required to give demonstrations to
show that they had good understanding of what
they had learned. The afternoon and evening of

New YoRK CRY ELEcTIoN.-The whig
presses are assigning all sorts Of reasons for
the late overwhelming defeat Of the party
in the city Of New York. A writer in the
New York Tribune lays the defeat to
the shamful conduct Of the late wing COM

official duty:-very likely this is one cause.
Others pretend that the wings were fright
cned way from the polls with blud geons and

paper says the election was conducted with
great quietude. Others attribute the defeat
of the wings to the repeal of the registry
