PRospECr OF PEACE-We do think there is at
length prospect Of peace The three million bill
passed. and Thomas H Benton has been despatched
to Mexico, armed with power TO treat. We fell
confident that Mr.. Benton will Ge.fYe peace, and
we feel confident also, that any person going to
Mexico in that spirit will be successful. Perhaps
we are mistaken in the latter idea If so, and the
Mexicans stubbornly refuse all overtures, we trust
that peace may never be had short of the entire
overthrow by the conquering ofthe country,of what
semblance of the miserable government which yet
remains among them.
Since the abovewas in type we have learned from
Washington, as follows That Benton as condi-
ton to accepting the appointment offered, demand
ed the recall of Gems. Scott Taylor Butler, and Pat
terson: that the cabinet after session of six hours
the 9th inst to consider the subject finally deter
mined not to accede to this request: And that Ben
ton thereupon sent message to the President decl
ming the appointment of Maj. General. All our
hopes therefore of speedy peace based upon the
appointment of Mr. Benton, and his presence at the
seat of war; with the 'ove branch as well as sword
are for the present disappointed. We cannot, how
ever allow ourselves to believe but that the admin
istraton will find some other agent equally as eff
cient Mr. b. to effect the peaceful objects contem-
pleted

There is one thing upon which there appears to be
a mistake. The business men of the country talk
as if the whole control of the country was In their
hands, and the producers seem to concede It to them
without question. The fact is the whole control
If the country is in the hands of the producers; 1t
Is thew who make the whole wealth OF the country;
It is they who build up and make the wealth OF
the business men, and it is for them to dictate ana
control. With every source of life to the country
in their own hands, they may laugh at the predic-
t;ons of those who would influence them by threat
en;np them with loss of credit, of produce rottng
On their hands, and all this kind of thing. Their
products must be had and will bring to them just
the material they unitedly require for it and it is
their duty to demand that, which it is most for
their interest to possess what is for their inter-
est. is for the interest of the whole country That
money which is the poorest and the least valuable
can be the most easily had hence opposition enough
will be found to any measure, which would COM
mel the presence of currency of undoubted value;
and if this were not sufficient the fact that this pro-
vision of our constitution is new and untred Is e.
nough to alarm all men, who find their account In
the present evil character OF things =,
If the character of this strife be scanned II Will
be seen that it is entirely on those features OF our
constitution which are new. VI course tnen II
arrays against it every land every class OF men
who find their interest in things as they are lta
RAYS against it also the timd of all classes and all
parties who are afraid of all experiments in govern
ment, and learning nothing by the progress OF the
past are willing to stop where we are and attempt
nothing rtherand of course it arrays against 1t the
great mass of the wings, who always were and al.
ways will be opposed to reforms in government OF
whatever character The reforms here proposed
like all other reforms that have ever been attained
depend for success on the laboring and producing
masses of the country They have powerful odds
against them. Interested men, are sparing no ef
fort to prejudice and misrepresent matters to their
injury If they be but true to themselves and their
own interests these reforms will PREVAIL If they be
not, they may 60 on in the old beaten track, and
find their subs tance as now,preyed upon and eaten
up by hosts who contribute nothing to the wealth
OF the country, but live upon the evils which afc'
il. and grow out of its policy.

JrrAn individual, whom we presume we know,
writes as follows to the Milwaukee Sentinel, with
regard to the late rally at this place in favor of the
Constitution:
can old deserted store, which would accommo-
date almost fifty persons, all standing was chosen
for head quarters. Here some organization was at
tempted, but the peculiar situation of majority OF
those present made it somewhat difficult to select
sober officers. The vast procession, numbering 81
men and boys, all told, then moved towards the
speakers stand where, perhaps as many more had
congregated as lockers on"
Now, it is not our purpose to waste one word on
an individual who would deliberately pen fasehoods
such as this extract and indeed, the whole commu-
ncation, contains but we must express our sur
prise that respectable editors be found who will
circulate them. There will at least one good re-
suit flow from it the readers of the Milwaukee
Sentinel who know the facts will be able to appre-
ciate the wonderful accounts which that paper is
daily putting forth, of anti-constitutional move
ments In all probability they are all of the same
character this; and this all in this region know
is an unmitigated lie.

AN IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-The Supreme Court
of the United States has decided that the States have
right to control, they please, the trade in, and
licensing of the sale of ardent spirits This decision
was made in the case taken up from Massachusetts,,
for the purpose of testing the constitutonaty of the
license law of that State Thus, the law of New
Hampshire which controls the power licenses
generally, and the law of Massachusetts, which for
bids the sale OF any smaller quantity of liquor than
2S gallons and the law of New York which author
ICES the several towns if they choose entirely to
prohibit the traffic, are all affirmed by the Court
The Judges are said to have been unanimous on the
subject. This decision will be gratifying to the
friends of temperance it puts TO rest the question
as TO the constitutional power of the States over the
retail trade in ardent spirits.
We quote the decision for the particular Informal
ton of citizens OF Wisconsin, who at the approach
ing town elections will be called upon to decide by
vote the question of" license or no lcense with
III their several localities.

uFDEATn ny Notwithstanding a severe
storm on Friday night last the public house in our
town known the Farmers Exchange" was
struck by lightning and young man named Ber-
nard Van Kleek, instantly killed. The flued appa-

of it entered the where this man lay sleeping
and passing up the leg of person sleeping with
him, without serious injury to that person. struck
across and passed through his body, from thence
through the pillow and out of the window, shatter-
ing it badly. Several other persons were sleeping
in the room but received no injury. The other
portion descended to the room below and after do
ing some damage, passed out SCATTERING the win
dows in its progress.

IL We have received a copy of the bill as it
passed Congress, for the admission of Wisconsin into
the Union but cannot possibly publish it this week
Nor is it necessary, for find by comparison that
at is the same published a week or two since
In connection with this, we find that the editor
of the Milwaukee Sentinel is trying to convince the
settlers the canal lands that this act is now in eff
feet far their lands are concerned 1.-The succeeds
in deceving child by his efforts we shall be mis-
taken. There cannot be question in the matter,
any man of common sense perceive and as
every honest man will admit, who reads the act.
1t is an Act for the admission of the State of Wis
consin into the Union" and every provision in it
is made dependant on the admission of Wisconsin,
by the acceptance of her constitution
