LISA matter of regret 10 US, as we doubt

1t is matter of regret TO US, as we doubt
not it is to the party Of the territory general
ly, that at the metropolis Of the territory
(the city of Milwaukee), the democracy
have not an organ that they can rely
upon with any degree of confidence what
ever. Since Mr.. Noonan, tho old editor,
land we doubt not The present proprietor
and advisory of the Courier, received the
appointment of Post Master at the hands of
the most degraded and corrupt admnlstra-
ton that ever cursed this or amy other coun-
try, the Courier has apparently been solely
employed to retain him in that position. 1t
apologist for the filthy acts Of John Tyler
and his administration; and remains as much
so at tho present day as it can consistently
with desire to gain the favor of the ncom-
ing administration. The Courier knows
well that nine tenths Of the Democracy of
this territory desire ardently the removal Of
the present politically rotten Governor, but
docs it sver intimate such state Of feel
ing? no; il stands miserable sustainer AID
apologist for him. The Courier knows that
the attempt to sustain and foster such men
is frausht with tho greatest danger TO tho
principles which wo profess, ana knowing
this. il can only DO an utter disregard of the
principles which leads il TO sustain the men
Doubtless this will be met by the ciy--of
arraying "indivdu ais of the same party
against each other" Indv:d ofthe same
party forsooth Does the Courier design
10 insult tho Democracy Of the territory by
calling their men individuals of the same
party with Mr.. Tallmadge. That the Cou-
ricr man is an individual Of the same paaty
we are we'll aware-they have common
interest Of dcfiauding tho coming admins
,ration out Of liv;ng-but that there are
any others of a similar character, wo very
much doubt. In such case as this, aye or
any other, where an individual shows want
of the principle he PROCESSES, we shall not
fear to hold him up in his true colors, les,
there be dissensions among men Of the par
ty. We apprehcnd much greater danger
from tactly standing by and permitting men
to flch our good name for the basest per-
sonal ends. Such course must always re-
suit in inreparable ruin, whilst the other
can have no other effect than to make men
wa,ehful Of their conduct, and keep the par
ty in the matter Of unity somewhere in the
neighborhood Of its principles.
What prompted us on this occasion TO al
lude to the course ofthe Courier, is a late
article favouring the Milwaukee Bank pro-
ject. 1t is a part and parcel of the policy
which has distinguished the Courier for some
time past, and gives evidence ofihe motive
which dictated it. But it is outrageous
that the project should be sustained and adj
vocated as Democratic measure and the
attempt made to give il the ternity Of the
party by sheet which has assumed the
name Of Democracy for that purpose. The
reasoning Of the Courier is most sagacious
on the subject, and must certainly convince
all of the purity Of the motive. 1t is in ia
vor of the Bank, because # that measure
be not adopted there is possibility, nay
probability that there would be Bank
doing Wild Cat business in their midst -
Now where is the necessity for either of
these measures. Is the projected Bank ne
cessary to protect the people of Milwaukee
against wild cat institution. Are the pco-
pie Of Milwaukee SO far lacking in ordinary
sagacity that an institution working by law
and according to law, is necessary TO pro-
tect them. Verify, the remedy looks TO us
very much like advising a man who is cho-
ked with an apple, TO relieve himself by
swallowing pumpkin With a Democrat
ic press, not in the interest of spectators
and designing men, 10 give the alarm, and
promptly expose the des On Of these swim
ding concerns, there would be no danger
to the people of Milwaukee. But the Cou-
rct is not such press. 1t is in the hands
of designing men-and perhaps when we
take everything into consideration, its fears
that Wild Cat institution, on the NJ CHI
gan plan, may spring up among them is not
altogether grouudless. We only regret
that the party there, have not press that
they can rely upon, in any and all emergen
cics.
