Sweet is the hour that brings US nome
Where all will spring to meet US
Where hands are striving. as we COME
To be the FIRST TO greet Us l"i"'"
When the world hath spent i's ttowns ana
And care been sorely pressing
'Tis swee, 10 turn from oar rowing PAM
And find Preside blessing
Oh. ioyfuly dear is The homeward track,
If we were bot sure of welcome back!
What do we reck on weary way.
Though lonely and benigh'ed'
If we know there are lips to chide our stay.
And that will beam love-lighted!
What is the worth of the diamonds ray.
To The glance that flashes pleasure.
When the words that welcome back betray
And form hearts chief treasure?
Oh, joyfully dear is our homeward track,
If we are but sure of a welcome back!

members from other or eastern por-
lions Of this Territory. Sir, our con-
s'ituants complained Of the injustice
done them By the act Of Congress of
August, 9Th, iS46, authorizing Wis
Iconsin TO form constitution and state
government, and prescribing the boun-
IIarics for the same. This act was
branded as a bcggardy concern, de-
serving alike with its author, to be con-
dcmned, rtbukcd and rejected by the
people. After the many violations of
the ordinance Of 81, are we by our
own hands to suffer dsmembermen
.of nearly one-third of the remainder
Of our territory? The only arguments
offered by the friends of the measure,
are, first, to accommodate the gentle
man from st. Croix. Qor whom | have
great respect, and to whose opinion
would pay all due Difference were the
subject separated from interested mo-
ItivrS) S cond, that the state will be
too large; and third, that anti-slavcry
interest will sooner be represented by
two senators from the sixth state or
division of the Northwest Territory.
Sir, view these considerations too
small-too trifing and unworthy Of
the object.
And in conclusion, permit me again
to ask, are you prepared TO sacrifice
the interests cf the west upon the al
Tar Of sectional int rest and prejudice?
Are YOU willing to distract the con-
vention and ever after The councils of
the state BY that unholy feeling, the
anti-sla,ely INTEREST," ardcntly hope
not, and expect tl.atyou by your votes
on the question, will maintain not only
the interest, but the consistency and
dignity of The Safe.
