Wisconsin tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1847-1854, 1847-09-10

inl SEIZURE, bat he earnestly protested
| against the British Government excr-
c'sIng this high prerogativc upon our
soil, and this, too, without invesli
CATION, or the shadow of authority from
the United States. His circumstances
and protests wee UNDECIDED; the men
were seized, bound, and carried back
into the British possessions. The
fate Of the parties arrested is not
| known.
The Republican says" is unnec-
essary to dwell upon the iilegallty OF
this act, or the insult it gives 10 the
United States. All we now add is,
that the truth of the facts, the testimo-
ny OF men of the highest responsibility
| may be had if the government thinks
proper to look into it..
We shall have an opportunity now
to see whether Mr.. Folks clamor
about national honor is all pretence,
or not. He has been forward enough
in demanding redress of weak powers,
and has now good opportunity to try
his skill with the diplomatists of ST.
james, this is quite worthy of the
attention of his Cabinet and himself.
We look to see American wrongs III
the northwest redressed with as mnch
cagerness as he has sought redress for
alledged wrongs from the Mexican
government.

BAD CoMrANy.-Thc associations
young men are very apt to form in
large and growing cities, result in
disgraceful and melancholy ends. Bad
company is the pest of society, and
while it ruins thousands, it likewise
brings pain and misery to many a fond
and allectionate parent Young men
who are easily weaned from their once
loved homes, must lack the deceits of
the world; would they but listen to
the voice of experience, and be more
willing to obey the wishes of their
fathers, bitter remOrse would be a
stranger indeed to their abode, and Joy
and comfort would reign in its stead

become infatuated with the doinrs
and sayings of persons Of doubtful
character, knowing, as they do, that
such beings are never respected where
