LANCASTER, WISCONSIN,
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9th, Is47.
To our Readers and the Public.

As men sometimes require new dress, so do
newspapers. There is much IN Appearances
Old familiar friends, in home-spun like the home
y faces Of those we love, may indeed become
rather agreeable by association; so it is with news
papers But in extending our circulation as we
are now doing, amongst strangers, it becomes
more essential to put The Herald in handsome
attire. At very great expense, we have obtained
new type and printing materials, throughout, from
the celebrated foundry Of GEO. A. CURTIs,
Boston.
Our readers win observe that the type is not
only beautiful, but that il is also very mail. No
tains a greater amount Of composition, and we
are determined, that ii shall not be surpassed in
point Of mechanical execution, by any Journal
We confidently expect a large increase Of our
subscription list and Of advertising patronage.
The proprietor is devoted with all his soul, TO
the advancement Of the usefulness and interest
of The Herald. This press has been long estab-
lished, and its columns always have been and
viii continue TO be, much devoted TO the concerns
of our own county and the various interests and
pursuits Of the mining regions. That spirited
and able journal, published at the county seat Of
the influential county Of Grant, is great benefit
10 all the property and all the persons in the
county, none will question. We invite our
friends, every where, to aid us IN our determined
purpose, to establish this Journal upon broad
and permanent basis.

For the Wisconsin, Herald.
A Moral drawn from the late Election.

Mr.. EDITOR: The result of the late
election in Wisconsin, teaches a lesson TO
the people of the Territory, and to aspi-
rants for public honors.
For the former, it speaks in tones dis
tinctly uttered; and proclaims that the
mass of the people here, have nice per-
Iception of advantages that will naturally
arise from an unstained reputation-from
character, abroad And well is it for Wis
consin that she has thus early learned this.
Better would it be for her to be without a
representation in the councils of the nation,
than that she be represented by a character,
who can add nothing to the reputation of
her citizens for moral worth and strict in
ltegrity, but which on the other hand, will
Hover us in the estimation of the States
/ Of one thing Wisconsin may be assured
that, whether the self-styled Democracy, or
the Wings, triumph in local elections, the
character of the Territory for intelligence,
moral worth aud true patriotism,will rise or
lfall-like mercury in the thermometer-in
the estimation of our nation, and of the
world, as they see US eleyating TO office,
men, who, from the fact that they have al
ready proven traitorous TO themselves as
reasonable beings, as citizens in a commune
ty, give fair guaranty that they will
prove traiiprous as public servants, to the
confidence reposed in them by their eonstit-
uents. Nothing will tend more to elevate
us, to give us weight and influence through
out the whole Union, than beginning thus
early in our career to besiow offices of hon
or. trust or profit, on men of unsullied in
tegrity, alone.
But the result of the election win not be
without its effect on those, who, in future
may seek for office at the hands of the peO-
Iple. Ii matters not whether . candidate
comes forward on his own responsibility, OF
is Z" brought forward by his party" be
Ilieve what we have just witnessed in this
Territory, tells too plainly TO be misunder-
stood, that for his election he must look
more to his moral worth, his integrity OF
character. i'm connection with his fitness foE
the office in other respects, than to the
strength Of his party. And the rWO great
parties in the Territory may also read q les
son, that while thinking of other things-oi
the various interests that win tend 10 make
a candidate available--one thing, the most
important of all, should not be overlooked,
viz: IS he such candidate, irrespective OF
his political sentiments, as a Christian com
immunity can supports No, tia, think the

Judges of Election.

The Potosi Republican makes complaint that
all the Judges OF election in Potosi precinct, are
Wings This may be so. Certain ii is, until the
Democrats kindled up their political fires last
summer, and drew the party lines in Grant coun-
ty, nobody thought Of nquirng into the politics Of
the Judges Of election, or Of any of the county
officers. Indeed, upon review, it viii be found
that the Democrats, although always in the mi
county, held very large share of all the Offices.
In the Council, they have alv vs. been repre-
scented. The Iiberality of the Wings of Grant
towards the other party, is proyerbirl, and has
amounted TO a weakness. The success of DEM
ocratic candidates in our elections, is just what
has deluded that party into the belief that they
could carry their whole ticket; and we distinctly
charge that it was the purpose of their leaders in
getting up their party organization at Potosi, to
deprive the Wings Of this county from holding
any share of the Offices VIII the Wings ever
Why, the very Board of County Commissioners
who appointed the judges of election in Poiosi,
was Democratic, two to one---a Board elected by
Wing votes. II, by any dreful dispensation Of
Judgements, the Democrats should ever gain the
political supremacy in this county, we should not
have another Wing in office in the county, 50 long
as the mildew Of locoioeoism might rest upon it,
Even at the late election, the Wings, with ma
iority Of more than two hundred and fifty votes in
the county, have allowed the Democrats to elect
one Democratic member of the Board of County
Commissioners a first rate man he is too
Now, it would be right hereafter, thHt the Demo
cratic party should be represented in the several
boards OF Judges of election, since the party lines
are dawn. But hitherto, party has had nothing
to do with our elections.
