Quantity Of grain gro,cn in The United States.

Yet, from the diversity Of our soil, extent Of coun-
try and variety of climate the word abundance best
expresses the garnerings in Of every harvest.
The amount of Indian corn raised seems a matter
of wonderment The halfsarved operatives of Eu-
rope may well Hook at those returns with glistening
eyes, for il affords % bushels of corn alone for every
man, woman, and child in this country. Indian corn
will rarely bear exportation and, therefore, but lit
tie is carried abroad. II is nearly oil consumed at
home. Our cattle enjoy an abundance Of that food
which would be deemed luxury in Europe. Such
production under the competition of freemen.
Egypt was called "the granary Of the world;''
but America, in the extent of its wheat production,
as well as the superiority Of its quality, will throw
into the shade even the fables Of Herodotus.

HON. MORO AN |. MARTIN AND
The Bank of Wisconsin.
ELECTORS, PLEASE ATTEND.

The only objection which the wings have
raised against Mr.. Martin, aside from the
fact oil his being democrat, is, the bare
fact that he was once president Of the Bank
OF WISCONSIN, which failed subsequent 10
his connection with 1t, and an assumption
that the failure was caused by mal-ad-
ministration Of its affairs, by its torme r
Presiden..
Mr. Martin was chosen president of this
bank in 1888, and resigned in 1888. The
fact that democ at should, ten years ago,
have consented 10 become the president OF
bank needs no explanation. Every vo-
ter is familiar with the history and progress
OF public sentiment upon the bank ques-
ton Cor the last ten years, and we will moi
cast an unworthy reflection upon their in
telligence by a.temp ing to inform them o.
facts with which they are entirely familiar
The only circumstances respecting Mr..
Martins connection with the Bank of Wis
konsan, which, under the circumstances
merits the least notice, is in the alleged
corruption on his part in the administrator
of its affairs.
The following letters from respectable
intelligent and we'll known wings, whose
means Of information entille them 10 the al,
most credit, must effectua!ly put to RESI-
these charges Of corrup, management
Let every voter read The letters.

MIR. MARTIN AND HIS TRADU-
GERS

We call The attention of our readers 10
the letters which We copy from The Wiscon-
sin Argus on The subject of Mr.. Martins
connection with the Wisconsin Bank. We
are personally acquainted, with every one
Of these men, and they are men first in the
community where they reside, and whose
integrity is above suspicion. They are all
wings. and one of,hem (EI. s. BairdD is the
gentleman brought forward by the Wiscon.

The point. 1t viii! be useless for them
TO explain il away. Ii is plain case, these
gentlemen were addressed on the subject
they are men ofhonor and integrity. They
must be silent or tell the truth; they chose
the latter. But it is nothing new to u.s.
We resided al Green Bay, during the cxis-
tence and at The time Of the failure OF this
Bank, and never for moment dream
ed of connecting Mr. Martin with its fail
ure and the disasters which attended upon
| it. Mr. Martin Withdrew from the Presi-
dency of the institution long before its fail
ure or before its credit was implired; it was
therefore under the control of Henry L.
Stringh,m aud James d. Doty. Under,them
specie payments were suspended, the
| Bank ruined, and the former gentleman
| the Cashier, all things being ready, run a
way with the available funds TO Detroit
where he has since remained. Attempts
wete made at the time 10 inJure Mr. Mar
lin. but they sicnally failed. The conf
dence of bis fellow citizens in him, was
mistaken and they mauifes! cd their feelings
towards him, and their views OF the attempt
to injure him, by electiug him twice 10 the
! Legislative Council from that district
Fooled in this attempt to injure Mr.. Martin
at this time, we know not what his enemies
will attempt next. There is no other pon'
of attack TO which they can turn and they
must abandon the ground or renew iheil
ISLANDERS on this exploded point. 1t is hard
ly necessary to caution our friends against
them. Believe them not for ii is the strug-
lie Of desparing men.

We perceive that some of the senior
members ofthe Wing party are disposed to
complain oftho elevation of young men in
the ranks. If The complaint is simply be-
cause they arc Young men, they complain
very foolish!y in our opinion. What mat
tiers il whether a man be young or old if he
is acknowledged TO possess superior ability.
Experience is something, but il is not every
thing, in our opinion; aud experience with
out ability is not so good as ability without
experience. When equal ability is conce.
ded, we naturally conclude that in making
a choice of candidates, the weight of nhu.
enco will be with him who has expert ence
connected with ability, and when young
man is taken, the conclus;on is of course
that it is because of Il superior ability
Whether this reason did in reality exist in
the selection of Mr.. Harvey for The can.

say, and perhaps we have not the means o
Judging. These men who feel aggrieved,

Col. Collins says he nas Ocen mlSrepre-
scented in the statement, that he voted a.
gains an examination into the aillirs Of the
Mineral Point Bank. We made the asser-
ton, and according to his own admission,
our error was only an error in terms; not
in substance and reality. He says he voted
against the proposition 10 examine the stock
book. Now this is mainly what it was de
sired 10 examine. But his excuse is, tina,
the committee possessed the power 10 do
ii, without special provisions 10 that effect.
Ii was the opinion of some that the Com
mittee did not possess that power, and in
previous examinations by committees the ?
had been refused that privilege; and it was
therefore thought necessary to specially de-
clare them invested with the privilege, and
whilst there was doubt about it, where was
the harm of passing the resolution. 1t
certainly would have hurt nothing. The fact
was the wings designed TO prevent close
scrutiny into the affairs of the Bank, and
erry Tiig in the Council voted against the
and every Democrat in its IA
vor. The wings charge Mr.. Martin of wri-
ting TO the Cashier Of the Wisconsin Bank
advising him to refuse an examination into
It's atfairs. Admitting this obe true, Col.
Collins did precisely the same thing in this
case. All the error we made, in our asser-
ton was simply one of terms, no, in SUBJ
stance nor reality

DEAR SlR-Yours Of this date is just re-
ceived, and the contents noted. | never
have thought you were in any way TO
blame for the failure Of the Bank Of WIS
consin. and so far as am acquainted with
the circumstances Of the failure, am per-
fectly satisfied that you tried to sustain the
Bank, and were a large sufferer by the
failure Of said Bank. Had others been
as faithful TO their trust as you we're, am
satisfied that the Bank would not have
failed. You can say to any of your friends
or mine, that twill give me pleasure TO
clear you from all impu,a,ion of want Of
integrity in the management of the Bank,
and all your transactions in business; and
so far as NY testimony will serve you.

We have received letter under date of
10th INST, from which we inler, there is doubt
whether Mr.. Martin will be able to visit us.

ing our friends, that in the matters of harbol
appropriations, he will pursue the same line
of policy as pursued by Gen. Dodge. NIL
waukie, R cine and Southport W III be placed
on equal tootings. No preference will be
shown, but equal and strenuous exertion
made for all. On matters ofgcneral terri
toral interest, Mr. Martin. as the candidate
of the peoples choice will do all he can
for the interests of these who have delcga-
ted their trusts TO him. Mr. Martin is now
in Milwaukee county speaking to the SET
tiers on the canal grant. He will be here,
ifpossble 10 fulfil other engagements. -
Whilst we should all lie pleased to see him,
Racine needs not the incentive of his pres
encc to do her duty. She will give good
account of herself In the mean time we
arc assured by Mr.. Martin, should be be pre-
vented from visiting us before election, if
elected he will visit us before leaving for
Washington and make 'mself fully acquan
ted with onr wants and the cons deratons
upon which our cllims may be urged.
