y bill pending before the Legislature, to protect

SOUTHPORT LIBRARY.

We have, Of late, several times promised many
of our friends and resolved for ourselves TO propose
and talk out this subject The value of an associ-
ton library town. library, young mems library, or
something of the kind, is what no one will ques-
ton Books cheap, and choice selections in all
departments OF science and literature, may be OBJ
tanned at a very moderate expense Professional
men, merchants, tradesmen, teachers, editors, and
mechanics would, one and all, find it a matter of
convenience and of no small practical value, TO
have opportunity TO occupy whenever they might
choose to do SO, well furnished and well kept
reading room in which reference might be made
to the best standard works for the precise iniorrna
ton desired on all subjects whatever.
There is superabundance Of means for any
thing of the kind Five hundred or a thousand
dollars, we doubt not, might be secured in a week
for either OF the things above named. We pay the
owners OF the menagere, of the circus the concert
and banjo performers, the hdders, &c. &c, every
season, enough for the purchase of splendid libra.
ry and for the support of reading room as good
as any in Cincinnati or Boston We know of some
$40 subscriptions which have been waiting for
weeks for movement of the kind which We pro-
pose.

Tie Albany Argus speaks of the two boiling
papers IN Racine county, as opposing the wishes of
the democracy Of the State, in their course with
reference to the Baltimore nominee for the Pres-
dency and effects to believe that the rest of the
presses OF the State, truly speak the sentiments Of
tho Democracy We refer the Argus to the &c
ton of our State Legislature on the main ques-
ton which now agitates the county, and on the
question which alone creates the division that now
exists III the democratic party 1t is ground exact
ly antagonistcal to that occupied by the Argus
And by its Presidential candidate, and it was adop-
ted by the representatives of the people Of the State
almost by acclamation 1t is this sentiment and
this expression which the two papers in Racine
represent and if these papers misrcpresent the pco-
pie, then did their representatives in the Leg
stature almost TO a man, mlsrepresent them. We
would refer the Argus also to a careful perusal of
the balance of the papers in the state protesting to
be Democratic. Whilst they reluctantly support
Lewis Cass they lose no opportunity to conciliate
the popular sentiment, by whipping him over the
shoulders of others, and aborng for the principles
he repudiates and against those upon which he runs
as the Presidential nominee 1t can easily be esti-
mated how deep Is their attachment for Lewis Cass
and his principles, and how deep is also the attach
mcnt of the people for him. There is first one
thing, and one alone which binds the sol distant
democratic papers of Wisconsin to the fortunes of
Lewis Glass; and that is the shadow of regularity
which is sought TO be thrown around his nomina-
ton. 1t has been we believe no where claimed
that Lewis Cass represents the democratic princi-
pie certainly it has not in this State 1t is simply
claimed that he is regularly nominated, and the
difference between the two papers in Racine, and
elsewhere is, that whilst the former esteem 1ri,t-
cph OF more importance than mere party, the lat
ter consider party the whole end and aim Of their
effort. This is plainly the case, for said not
a single paper supporting Lewis Cass dd1cs in the
face Of the Legislative expression and Of knocn pop
uar sentiment to claim him as proper represen-
tatiEe of Democratic principle, and they do not
support ask for support for him in that ground.
His friends have succeeded in getting an odoI of
regularity about his nomination, and this binds to
him, the timid dough faces of the State. We can
assure the Argus that SO far as this section OF the
State is concerned Cass men are scarce as black
berries IN January, and they would be in the rest
Of the State, if editors claiming to be democratic
had half the regard for princplc that they have for
part y. There an universal indisposition to sus-
tain him. and If the true friends of the principles
promulgated in our Legislative, but continue their
exertion, Cass will make no kind of a show in the
State.

Many suppose that the propagandsts in sober

Con part ofthe domain of the peculiar institution
Those who may think so are all too fast 1t is a

crcdulous north bclcrc they gained at least half of
a grand victory. Mr. Bright of Indiana it is said,

This will be just as orthodox as If Mr.. Calhoun
himself bad offered it. The statesmen of the South

they are not Just now, out of practice
