Southport telegraph. [volume] (Southport, W.T. [i.e. Kenosha, Wis.]) 1840-1850, 1847-04-21

= that we think the period has arrived when South
mort REQUIRES at least aTRl-WEEKLY publication;
and we mean to test soon as practicable, the abb
y and disposition of the people of the village and
adjacent country to support sheet OF this kind.
The experiment must be made, and that it will be
successful, provided our duty in the premises be
properly and efficiently discharged, we have full con-
ildcnce.
There NAV be reasons why Milwaukee should be
the commercial centre of Wisconsin, but there is
no reason why she should be the acaos centre. AS
mail arrangements now are and are likely TO De-
Southport may successfully contest the supremacy
in this matter being in the receipt OF eastern ih'ei-
lyence from six to eight hours, on an average ear
lier than her northern neighbor The importance
othis advantage seems never to have been properly
appreciated on our part; and Milwaukee in conse-
uuence, through her daily papers and daily COM
munications with the dlacent country, has made
herselfthe centre of news" when this distinction
and all the direct and incidental advantages to be de-
rived from it in business point of view, properly
belongs to Southport. The country IS filled aoith
Mil,odkce, and MI,Uaukee IS filled ,ci the country.
Milwaukee papers, from their attractive news and
business character, circulate IN almost every nook
and corner of Wisconsin. The consequence is, that
Milwaukee interests ;r, the most conspicuous, TIE
most regarded, and in every department, the most
prom oted, ia Is dependant on the trade and pub,
lie sentiment OF the interior.
As we said before, the time has come when this
advantage should be contested with Milwaukee,
and Southl ort made TO sumo its proper position,
as the "centre of news for Wisconsin We shall
commence, as soon after the opening of navigation
we can complete our arrangements, Off sufficient
encouragement be received) the publication of a
