VOTERS! who Shall take care
OF YOUR Land

The nation, in other words the people are the
owners of 100000 square miles OF new territory.
About four ninths Of this, $4,000 square miles,
now lies exposed to the inroads of slavery. his
portion contains about 53l,000,O0O of acres, OF
81 acres to each individual of our whole popula-
ton. The man who acts for family of eight
persons acts for 2lG acres of the nation property
in land, which is now Liable to be nvaGed by the
institution of slavery. A worse foe never threat
ened to invade the interests and rights of any COM
munity, and to give il oothold is efiectualy to
shut out free labor, education, enterprise intel-
gence, &c. and every other vital element of ndi
vidual and public prosperity. The average value
of land in the slave states is and and has been
only about quarter of its average value in free
states. So that the question of free soil 10 the
man acting for family of eight persons, is ques
ton whether that familys 216 acres shall have
free state value or slave state value. Whether it
shall be worth four dollars, or only one dollar per
acre, or in that proportion.
But all this calculation is superfuous, nasmuch
the establishment of slavery in this territory Of
laborers, thereby in effect robbng the freemen in
the north OF the wholc of their rightu interest in
this land. That rghtful interest is at least two
thirds ofthe whole, as they constitute more than
two thirds of the free population of the country
A failure to exclude slavery, which universal his
tory shows TO be equivalent TO its positive instu
ton, efectually robs the freemen of the north of
354000OOO of acres of lands-and all for the ben
eft of less than 900 slave owners.
These slave owners, together with their northern
allies have ZACHARY TAYLOR for one OF their
candidates, and LEWIS CAss for the other-and
securing the extension Of slavery these terri
tories Tor the issue. In the accomplishment OF
this object the fraternity of Shareholders have
pecuniary interest as we showed last week of not
less than 5000 O,OOO, and the former of their
candidates a pecuniaIy interest OF not less than
$50 900! In addition TO this, their wish and aim
to maintain perpetual ascenuency IN the federal
union is motive perhaps equally strong. ANY
candidate in favor of the tree soil principle thew
would egard seeking to sacrifice their inter
ests 10 the full extent of what is above suggested
Accordingly we find that Taylor and Cass are the |
fayOrite candidates in every portion of the South

We ventured last week, in a respectful way, 10
the State and district officers was asking most too
much and whilst we expressed the opinion we
gave the facts to show that she had always had
them heretofore and showing this claimed that this
end of the state and of the Congressional district is
entitled to some little consideration. We did all
this in respectful manner, and stated not word
that was not strictly true and not word that has
been denied and yet electors of Racine let show
you how this modest demand that our rights should
be considered and respected, has been met We are
not to be permitted TO hint even, that we have
rights, for should we do it, we are told that the
vote of Milwaukee will be concentrated to crush
u.s. But we will give the words of the Wisconsin
ITSELF that we may not be accused of exaggerating
the tate in store for us:
The last Southport Telegraph makes most
bitter appeal against Miicdrhee. We have rarely
seen more sectional appeal to prejudice our city.
But Milwaukee HAS AS AS MANY VOTES as
Southport HAS INHABITANTS. If the Tce
graph desires vote on this sectional basis Mllwau-
kee county could give or 1000 majority against
the Southport cand date. We trust that friends
will take this number of the Telegraph and show
ii all through the county, and the work is done
Mr.. Durkee would get merely the old abolition
vote which is about 300; Since his organ has com
menced this extraordinary ga ne 1t can be applied
in a way that will be lesson to all men who con-
slider every thing fair in politics"
In the article of ours, tot which this region of
country is to come under the concentrated VEN
geance of Milwaukee, we said nothing whatever,
except to show that Milwaukee always had had,
and Was still demanding that all our officers should
come from thatcity. This effort Of the Wisconsin S
10 maintain and perpetuate this grasprg spirit on
the part Of Milwaukee, by the threats which are
thrown oft, is worthy of the attention and consde
tation of the rest Of the district for it is blow at
the other counties of the district 1t is simply a
proclaimed intention TO array in favor of their own
men, such vote will be lesson to all men
who consider" that other sections of the district
are entitled, from their population, their wealth. re-
sources, and consequent interests TO any consdera-
ton. Are you ready voters, to receive the lesson

1t is folly, rank folly to hope that you accom-
plish amy end by voting for men opposed toit. You
want the Wl!mot proviso enacted over these terri
tories as the only means to keep them free. Now,
we put it to you in camdor, can You vote for a

has been misunderstood. They have heads to think

been presented TO them, and they are up and doing
We know this to be fact, and feel that if the cas-

ty good proof, you know, of his Free Soil
partia!ities! But once more. Mr.. Van

wings, is, his former servility to the South.
This is the head and front of his shining.

u A short time since, the Milwaukee Sentine
contained letter urging the people of Wisconsin
to go for Taylor, for as he sure to be elected,
unless she went for him, she could have no weight
or consideration with the government; or in other
words, if she dared to entertain an honest opinion
in opposition to Taylor, she would be prescribed.
The editor of the Sentinel pursues the same train
of argument with reference to our member of Con-
gress. He assumes that Cass or Taylor must be
elected, and as that will make the administration
anti-free soil IAN honest admission, by mistake, of
the SentneD it would be folly to send free soil
man there, for he could have no weight or i'll 9TH
er words, he would be prescribed for opinions sake.
Now, we apprehend the people of this district are
perfectly willing to send representative to Con-
gress who will stand upon the same platform with
Wilmot and Hale, and Giddings, and Dix, and let
any administration, whether it be that of Cass or
Taylor, prescribe them for opinions sake lift dares.
The people of the first Congressional district will
dare to do right, the risk OF mourning the displea

Igma of the opposition to the Oregon bill

Wings are wasting their energies and throw

Has been nominated by the Free Soil party as
their candidate for Assemblyman, in the district,
composed OF the towns of Southport, Pike and
Pleasant Prairie
We are prepared to assert with confidence and
with truthfulness, that nomination could not have
been made TO give more universal satisfaction than
does this. The excellent character and conceded
qualifications of the nominee render him unobjec-
tionable, certainly to every individual member OF
the party which nominated i'm, and commend him
to the favorable consideration Of all other parties
Mr. Colwell has always been affirm, reliable, and
consistent democrat and member of the democra
tic party position which meme can say he has lost
by his advocacy of Free Soil, Free Speech, Free
Labor, and Free Men.
As TO MIR. Colwells success, it can hardly be
considered doubtful. provided the proper effort is
made. The Free Democracy of this district, owe
it to themselves 10 give so good a nomination a
triumphant election.
