the first importance the officers 70 be
chosen are to fill responsible stations, and
to them are TO be committed important du-
ties. Hence the selection of suitable can
didates should be the result Of due deiEer-
alton, and the will of the people clearl y
expressed. Men should be selected in
view Of their qualifications and fitness,
without reference to the zeal with which
they urge their claims. The spirit of a Re-
publican governme ut requires that the peo-
pie should bring out the proper candidates,
and not that the candidates should bring
out themselves and force their claims upon
the public. Those who re afraid 10 abid.
the sober Judgment of the people, are those
whom it is no; safe to trust. 1t is distrusing
the intelligence and discretion Of the peo-
pie to attempt to procure The nomination
Of candidates for off e, through means Of
packed delegations and secret influence.
1t is hoped the county convention to be
held at He'll ,e15's on the 2Oth, will be a
faithful representation Of me will Of the
people; and we trust the delegates assem-
bed in convention. will proceed to selec,
the best men, and turn deaf ear to cla-
morous clamcnls, if any there should be.
Nominations to have confidence with the
people, must be procured without manage
mcnt, or improper influences. In the
Democratic party, 1t should be regarded es-
sen'iaI to lay aside all local or personal
considerations, and Ie, the Jellcrsonian
rule Of capacity, integrity, and honesty be
reg rded as the safe and more consis,en,
course Of action.

JUVENILE CONCERT

By an advertisement in this days paper,
it will be seen that Juvenile Concert will
be held at the Methodist Chapel, on FRI
day evening Of this week, under the dlrcc-
ton Of Mr.. DYE. We are requested TO say
that collection will be taken up in the
course Of the evening, for the purpose Of
defraying the expenses incurred in sustain
ing the school. The amount required to
pay for the services Of the teacher has been
only in part provided for. by subscr. ption.
and the lbcrali'y Of the citizens Of the town
is looked to, for the purpose of making up
The balance.
Too mach cannot be said in favor oil en-
couragirg the science Of vocal music,
among the juvenile portion of our popula-
ton. The subject is entitled to greater
co nsidctaton than is ordinarily bestowed
upon it. The influence Of music on the
moral sentiments, is known and acknowI-
edged by al, who have marked the devel-
opemertsof mind in the young. The pow
CT Of music over the grosser passions, is
proven by the experience Of all past histo-
ry; nor is its Influence regarded as mat
ter mysterious, by those who have studied
the philosophy Of mans nature. 1t is
matter OF history we'll known, that in many
countries of Europe, and especially IN
Germany, music has for many years been
introduced into the public schools, as one
Of The essential studies Of the youth With
in a few years past, in many parts of New
England, music has been made an impor-
tant part OF common school instruction, and
its utility to the moral, physical, and intel
lectaal condition Of the young, is becom-
ing daily more appreciated And il is re-
marked by some Of the most popular friends
Of education, that before the expiration Of
the next five years, music will be found as
common in the schools Of New England as
photography, arithmetic and grammar; and
we trust that ele long the example Of New
England, will he emulaled in the west, and
that the voice OF music will be blended with
our system of common school instruction.

0FThe " Wisconsin Whig," published
at Plattevile, has been discontinued.
and the printing material Of The Office
offered for sale. The dishonesty Of its
subscribers was the principal cause Of its
discontinuance. Newspaper subscriber.
are not aware OF the injustice they do the
printer by ncglscting to pay their sub
scriptions. No class Of men labor harder
10 advance the interests Of the people than
newspaper publishers, yet no class of men
ave 50 poorly paid for their services as
printers. There is no subject within the
sphere of politics, morals, or religion on
the which the consciences Of men cannot
be reached by frequent and earnest appeals.
But the subject of paying the printer stag
gers all human phrlosophy-no one is
found sufficient TO make mank ind feel the
force Of their obligations to newspaper
publishers. Here the wisdom of the world
has been exhausted in gument:-pursua.
sion, entreaty, rldcule, satire, threatening
and whatever else can move the springs
Of human action, have been employed with
out any important success. Men can be
made 10 see the reasondbleness, and to feel
their moral obligation to fulfill any other
contract, except their obligations TO pay
the printer. Talk TO a man of the wrong
in neglcctlng 70 pay u mechanic, and he
feels the force Of! the appeal; but talk 10
a man of the injustice in neglecling to pay
for his paper,and YOU speak incomprchen-
sible Greek. That moral faculty Of the
mnd which should prompt subscriber TO
pay for his newspaperas a matter of duty,
has either become extinct, or has been
gone into deep slrmber for the last quar-
ter OF century. And that man, whether
philosopher, statesman, preacher, or what
ever else, who shall arouse the people to feel
the force Of their obligations to pay the prin-
ter, will deserve 10 be held in memory
more than the seven W SO men Of Greece.
and his name should be registered side by
side with the greatest reiormers of the
nineteenth century.

u COUNTY CONVENTION. IN

The County Corresponding Committee have
changed the place of holding the county convention
on the Goth inst, from Southport to Chancey Kel-
loggs in the town of Paris. 1t is desirable that eve
town in the county should be fully represented at
the convention. AT county convention held On
the 9th of September last, the following resolution
was adopted, from which it will be seen that the
number of delegates is limited to three from each
town.
Resolved, That in future, Democratic Conven-
tons, each town be requested to send three Dele
gates instead of five.

THE SPRING TRADE.

In abiding to this matter, the Philadel-
phia Inquirer has the following:
awe learn that about 1000 strangers ar
rived at nine of our principal hotels during
the last week. ard among them several
hundred merchants from the West and
South. who visit Philadel phia with the OBJ
ject of making purchases. This may be-
regarded as very fair indication with res
pect to the spring business. The trade in
the aggregate will not be extravaganza hut
it will no doubt be sound and wholesome
Philadelphia is in excellent condition at the
present time for business The stock Of
goods on hand is sufficiently various, the
prices are low, and the accommodations at
our public houses cannot be surpassed bv
those of any city Of the Union. The terms
Of boarding have been reduced in many
cases, while the Western or Southern mer-
chant, after having made his perchases,
may, in our museums, concert and lecture
rooms, and other places Of rational amuse-
ment, pass leisure hour in an agreeable
and satisfactory manner"

city within the last day or two, that ex-
hibiis one Of the most remarkable freaks
Of Nature that we have ever Witnessed
He was born in Monroe county (MIss.) IN
April. 1889, making him now between
three and four years of age,and yet he has
all the developments Of adolescence, and,
with the exception Of size. we might say OF
manhood. He has beard and whskers
apparently full grown, an uncommonly
large and muscular arm, and voice as
gruff and manly as youth of 10 or ~
years Of age. In size and height his APP
pearance would indicate an age oil ABOUT
or years. He was yesterday visited by
several Of our most eminent physicians
and intelligent citizens, and pronounced by
all to be one Of the wonders of the day. 1t
might be mentioned, also, that he is able

The Militia Law.-It is yet uncertain
what disposition the Legislature will make
Of our militia system. There appears TO
be a diversity of opinion in relation TO
what ought TO be substituted in its place,
provided the present militia law is abolish
ed. 1t is conceded by those opposed to the
present system, that there should be some
law requiring an enumeration Of persons
liable to perform military duty, as we'll as
some regulation providing for cases Of
emergency. The following action was had
in the House Of Representatives on the Sd
inst:
A motion was made by MIR. Darling,
That bill No. 26, be recommilted to the
committee on the militia, with instructions
to report bill to repeal all laws in rela-
ton to the militia, excepting such as are
necessary to keep in organization any VOL
unteer companies TO keep up proper
state Of military discipline; and also 10
provide for the organization Of any new
volunteer companies that hereafter may be
deemed necessary.
And the question being put thereon, it
passed in the affirmative.
The question being on agreeing to the
report of the committee of the whole house,
call Of the house was made, when
On motion of Mr. Walker,
Further proceedings in the call of the
house was dispensed with
The question on agreeing to the report
Of the committee was then put, and it pass
ed in the affirmative.
And the ayes and noes being called for,

act providing for the government Of the
several towns in the Territory, subm ilted
report in the form Of bill on the 30th
