"A detachment lately set GU, from franklin

was bravsly fought; but the suffering of the
troops was immense. The expedition was un-
dertaken in The depth of winter, and the battle
took place 100 miles from the headquarters
Of the army, and 100 miles beyond the limits
of the white settlements. The troops took
with them only five days ralons. They were
absent on the expedition eighteen days The
provisions were exhausted on the morning of
the battle, six days after the departure, and
twelve before the return of the expeditoa.---
The troops were without tents, and there was
abou, five inches Of snow on the ground. Some
of them became so exhausted, that they reeled
as they walked, and some of the most faint sub
sisted by gathering and eating the scattered
grains Of corn, left where the horses had been
fed OF the outward march. But the principal

Our prospects in this region are frightening
every day. Your estimate of the Loco Foco ma
jority in St. Lawrence 1900 is quite favorable TO
them. In my opinion, they cannot come mp to
that. Hon. Silas Wright is now on an election
ecring tour through the County. Major Davezac,
1t was advertised, would accompany him, but did
not. We are sorry FOR this, because the Major
has done the Wing cause much good wherever he
has spoken. heard Mr. Wright speak yester-
day at Potsdam. The game of brag seems to
be the Loco Foco policy this campaign, as the
Hon. Senator said that Folks election was GER
tam By the way, he said the same of MIR. Van
Buren's in 1910. He defined his postion,' both
in relation to a Tariff and Annexation. AS re-
CARDS the latter, he said his views were the same
as those expressed by Mr.. Van Buren in his letter,
for which the latter had suffered political martyr
dom. He also said (and was very glad to hear
it, for some of the Loco Foco leaders here have
denied it, that the coming election would decide
the Texas question. He believed that the An
nexation of Texas would " "amcliorate the condi-
ton of Slavery, and aid in its final abolition as,
if il ever became extinct, it would be by moving
itself farther South.' These were his very words.

ence longer 10 party that is federal to the back
bone. But all these reasons, so far as immediate
danger is concerned, sink into comparative IN
significance by the side of the accursed scheme
of" Annexation" 1t is on this account mainly,
that | would urge and beseech you to come out
from the party. Go and hear Fowler on that
subject. His arguments arc perfectly overwhclm-
ing. He is u giant, and has converted hundreds
in this region by his tremendous appeals on that
subject alone. To crafty me, do not fail TO hear
him, and if not convinced, seek personal inter
view with him. And that you may be guided,
in this awful crisis TO correct result, is the fer
vent prayer of your aged father, }. h.
II We believe the above letter does unde-
signed injustice to the spirit and intentions Of
the great mass OF the Federal party, which was
in the main as enlightened and patriotic as any
party, though mistaken on some points. But 1t
is a historical fact that in old times Protection
was regarded and boosted as the Democratic pol
icv, while the Federal leaders were more friendly
to Free Trade; and We know Free Traders both
in this city and elsewhere, who avow that the
sentiments they hold now are precisely these
which they held as Federalists in the olden time.
So with regard to Executive power, the Federal
lists of John Adams's school demanded strength
to the Executive ARM while the Democrats ad-
vocated the limiting of Executive power; but
neither would have tolerated its extension 10 the
enormous length it has reached in our day, with

This lovely and romantic spot is situated in the
Southwestern part Of the Territory of Wiskon-
san. 1t is very near the dividing line between
Illinois and Wisconsin, and about twenty miles
East from the Mississippi River. Galena, Hi
nois, the depot of the Upper Mississippi Lead
Mines, and place of great business and activi.
ty, is about fifteen miles, in direction little
South Of West from that part OF the Grove where
! write. The first settlement made here of white
men was in lS24-the whole country around
here was then in possession of the Winncbago
Indians. At that carly period the Indians had
made discoveries OF lead ore, and had made some
progress in smelling it in rude way. Col. Hen,
ry Gratiot, an enterpfising frontier, man, and a
brother of Gen. Gratiot, of the U. S. Engineer
Corps, was the first settler, and hence the name
of Gratiot's Grove. In all my travels in the
West, have not seen section Of country com.

and timbered, as the country around Gratiot's

mankind. The great natural beauty of the
country, with its shady groves, its high rolling
prairies, and its rppGng streams the fertility OF
the soil, the richness OF the mines and the salu-
brtv OF the climate cannot be surpassed. The
lead mines in this region are very productive,
and the amount of lead made is very large
There is not at this time much political excite,
:nent in this part of the Territory Very few OF
the people about here ever heard of Polk before
his nomination, but the gallant and glorious iar-
rv of the West is known TO all; and he has as
strong, ardent and devoted friends in this Terri
tory as he has any where. Although the citl-
zens have no vote, still the Wings are forming
Clay Clubs in many of the Counties and precincts
for the purpose of disseminating political truths.
The appointment of Mr.. Talmadge as Cover
nor is very popular. Gov Doty dechned re-
appointment. The administration Of Gov. D..
has been wise one, and have no doubt but the
great majority of the people are well satisfied
with it: but he has, during the whole time he
has held the Office, been hunted by the most re-
morseless pack of Loco. Foco blood-hounds that
eve. disgraccd any country. He now resides at
Fond du Lac, where he is opening himself a farm,
and am informed there is no farmer In the Ter
ritv who performs greater amount OF labor eve
ry day than the Governor.
Gen. Dodge, the present Delegate from the
Territory, resides in this County, about twenty
five miles from this place. He is much greater
