It is WING Constitution, say some Democrats
who are opposing iand therefore we are justified in
our course And yet the Wings of Milwaukee have
issued circular to their brothers of of the territory
calling upon them to come up and oppose 1t, as
matter of vital interest to whiggery
1t is Wig Constitution say they, and yet the
wing party Were perhaps never more fully united
on any question, than they are in opposition to it
1t is Wing Constitution say they, md yet ev-
cry wing paper in the Territory opposes it, and ev
cry Democratic paper supports it.
Now we ask the candid of our party who feel
disposed to oppose this instrument how this state OF
things is to be accounted for Have parties sudden
" forgotten all their long cherished, long procla-
med, and long practiced principles Have all the
wings in the territory TUNED Democrats,and all the
democrats wings. Have the newspapers of the ter
ritory these in which you have heretofore confded
and which have properly represented your views,
by some maccountable phenomenon turned, in
mass, in their course, to oppose al they have here
tofore advocated Do you believe that such is the
case! You do not and cannot. Review your own
position Carefully sitt to the bosom the motives
which govern YOU, aud see if you are not at war
with your better sentiments and nature. Have you
not been led estray by men whom you have rcspec-
ted as Democrats, but who on this question (the
first one, truly embodying the principles of the par
ty, which has been before you) have departed from
the faith. Do you not see how true the wings are
to their principles? Did YOU ever know them as a
body fail 10 oppose measure which was truly lib
eral and Democratic as they now oppose this con
stitution. Should not these iactsope your eyes to
the true condition ofthngs You have a constitu-
ton presented TO you essentially Democratic the
wings with every Whig paper in the territory are
violently opposing it. and they are chuchlng in
confidence that enough Democrats may be found
blind to their interests and duty to assist to
defeat it. Shall it be So Review carefully, we en-
treat Of YOU your position, and see if you are not
called upon as Democrats-as supporters of liberal
and Just measures as friends TO yourself and to hut
mainly at large to vote for and sustain this consti-
tuition with all your energies.

nUTTEEFIELDS OpINION-It appears that
the Ante, Of Milwaukee,, have been in 4 quandmy
about the meaning of the 9th section Of the Bank
Article, hence they have applied to that extraopi-
nary man. Justin Butterfeld, of Chicago, for ex-
PLANTATION, Well Mr., Butterfcld has sent on his
opinion and the only thing we see in it deserving
OF notice is the following sentence: "lf a farmer
should purchase his land, or merchant load OF
produce, and pay for the same in bank bills OF the
prohibited denominations, the payment would be
void, and he would be subjected to be sued and
covery had against him in the same manner as
though no payment had been made
Now, who does not know that bills Of certain de
nominations have ormany years been prohibited by
law IN Illinois where Butterfeld resides; yet has a
single instance ever occurred in that State where
payment has been declared void under his construc-
ton of the law? Never Nonsense then, Mr.. But
erield, to attempt to brighten the people of Wis

The opponents of the Constitution having be

hard working classes by appeals to reason and I'M
derstanding that the constitution is unworthy of
their support, have as last resort brought in re-
QUESTION the power OF moncy, to brbe voters For
this purpose large sums have been contributed by
the money spectators and would be bank Of
Gcers. The price paid FER vote depends upon the
influence of the notwithstanding from five to
fifty dollars. In the town of Nuskego, promi-
nent Norwegian was paid $3.50 to vote against the
constitution and use his influence il ecctjonccring
against it. These things may appear incredible to
some of your readers: but when the contest is over
Cet the result be what it nay) facts will appear ex
hibiting the almost unparalleled depralily of many
of the enemies of the constitution.

ceived as TO the character of the contest1 1t is
conflict between the poor and the rjeh-the oppres

BATTLE BETWEEN GEN. TAYLOR AND

It appears to be somewhat certain that great
battle has been fought between the American and
Mexican forces at or near Satllo and that the loss
on both sides was very severe-MeXican loss said
to between and 6 00O--American 1900, The de
tails that have reached US are contradctory--so
much so that we deem it inadvisable to present
thenl-any farther than that Taylor, preserving an
imposing front, had fallen back upon Monterey and
that the whole country between Mon terey and
Matamoras, as well as along the valley of the Rio
Grande was swarming with Mexican troops. The
n Orleans Picayune of the 18th ult concludes long
article on the subject of the rumors as follows "lhe
reports thus far are favorable to theAmercan armies
but it must be borne in mind that five thousand
men cannot cope with 10000 forever"
