MR.. LYNDE'S VOTES IN CON
GRESS.

As the Wisconsin is constantly challen
ging an examination of Mr.. Lynde's votes
/ in Congress, and assuring that they will al
ways be found true TO the interests of Wis
consin, we will give a choice specimen o
his subserviency to Executive influence
and his betrayal of our best interests.
On the lth of July, lS4s, the following
propositions were voted on in the HOuse.o
Representatives.
|. Congress has Constitutional power
to appropriate money from the Nationa
Treasury, for River and Harhor Improve
ments which are necessary 10 facilitate for
eign commerce, or commerce among the
States"
,. 1t is expedient and necessary to ex.
ercise such power for such purposes.
3. The reasons assigned by President
Polk, for ve.oing the River and Harbor
Bill, are deemed insufficient and '0lsatis-
factory"
!. Mr. Lynde voted for the first two Reso-
utions, and when the yeas and nays we e
called he voted against the last Resolution.
His name therefore stands recorded as hays
ing voted that the President gave sufficient
and satisfactory reasons for veloing the
River add lIarbor Bill.
The citizens Of this District will see the
bearing of such vote. in the next Con-
gress. Mr.. Lynde claims to be Free
Soil man. Take him at his word, which
is generous indeed. The Proviso ques-
ton, we will suppose, is STAYED off till the
next Congress, and Cass md Lynde are
elected. Congress resolves
/. That 1t has Constitutional power to
pass the Wilmot Proyiso.
3. That the Wilmot Proviso, being a
proper and necessary bill, be enacted.
Mr.. Lynde votes for both Of these Reso-
lutiops. and Mr.. Cass-as he must, or
break his word-vetoes the bill.
Congress resolves that Mr.. Cass's treas
ons" for vetoing such bill, ''are deeHted
insufficient and notwithstanding" and Mr.
Lynde, just as he did in the case on the
River aud Harbor Bill Resolution votes

Vote for Cass to keep on Toylo,, O, for Taylor to
keep out CaSs--Who is it, voters, that are cOntin-
ually ringing this advice in your ears 1t is ge-
neral thing the man who has office, or the man
who expects to get it, for they the only per-
who have really any interest at stake between
the two men Probably before our paper ge:s
10 press, the people Of this region will have among
them some two or three itiherant lecturers on the
beauties Of Casssm with the title of Hon. preixed
to their names the main burthen Of whose argu-
ment will be of this character These men have
interest in going for Cass to keep out Tay lor.
1t is not voter, that your rights may be any better
guarded secured-it is not that you may say,
MI. CassI have been faithful, honest and compe-
tent, and wish this or that office, land get it. No,
it is that they may say, " Mr. Cass, this man or
that man labored unscrupulously for your success
he has helped mel don't know whether he
is honest or capabl". or whether The people want
him or not but he must have this oil lat of &c
1t is of great interest to them that Taylor be kept
out and their tool, the man who will give them
all the Offices be chosen but what difference to
you is it, voters, by which of these slavery is ex
tended over the fair territories of freedom Your
interest lies in opposing both OF them.

record.
Trust such man 10 maintain the inter-,
ests OF Free Soil in Congress A man
too, who is laboring for The elevation of
such an apostate 10 Freedom us Lewis Cass
is ! Never!
Remember that during the whole history
OF the Government, no bill ever became a
law. during any Administration, against the
veto of the President. The United States
Bank bill passed by Congress by an over
whelmlng majority; yet, under the veto and
influence of the Executive. the majority
dwndled 10 a minority. The passage of
the Nllmot Proviso is an im3ossiblity
against the veto of the President. or the
casting vote oi the Vice president, should
Gen. Butler, Shareholder, be elected Vice
President, and the South stand. as it doubt
less Will IN the Senate, firm against the Will
mot Provso.
Remember that William Pitt Lynde has
endorsed both President Polk and Lewis
Cass; tlat what they are politically, he is.
He hds done their biddng-s n0v doing
it, and will continue to do it until discarded
by the people, and All honest man is sent to
fill his place, while he is left at home, with
fall leisure for repentance.

THE CANVASS IN THIS DIsTRICT.-W
have learned from friends who attended
some of the meetings in Walworth county,
that Mr. Durkee acquits himself nohEy, and
that Mr.. Lynde does as well as one could
expect in managing bad cause. Mr.. Dur
kee carries the sympathIes of the people
with him now, and will carry their votes on
the 9Th Of November We feel sorry for
Mr.. Lynde. In good cause he might do
himself honor. Butto carry such dead
weight as Anti-Proviso Cass IS IN this Dis
trict, is too great a load for young man.
Il is staggering under impossibllitles.-

crafS9

Read the letter of Thomas Jefferson. in another
column O the subject of slavery And yet not
withstandng the opinions of Jefferson on the sub
ject, are we'll known, the supporters of Lewis
CaSs claim 10 be the true Jeffersonian democrats.
Je erson at that early day expressed his deep hos
tlity to American sIavery-he originated the ordi-
nance OF 1897, which keptlt out OF our north west
territory; but now the men who foster slavery and
and seek 10 extend it over an immense OF ter
rtory, at the ptesent time claim to be JefeTsonan
Democrats. Let those who venerate the principles
OF this great statesman and revere his name up ana
do battle for the cause, he espoused, at so early
day.

Look out FOR RoOrbacks

There Is no question, but just on the eve of the
election, all sorts OF devices will be resored to by
our enemies TO induce US 10 abandon principles
and candidates, and turn in and assist the sinking
cause of the slavery extensionists The Magnetic
Telegraph will undoubtedly be pressed into service
to convey 10 us the most startling intelligence
We shalt hear probably, that Taylor has emancipa
ted has $50 slaves and has been tarIcd and feather
ed at the south, tor his advocacy of Free Soil. We
shall hear that Cass has experienced another great
changc-has Iepudlated his Nicholson letter and
eutertans no doubt OF the right of Congress TO pass
tue Wlmot proyiso. We shalt hear on one side
that way down east, or somewhere else, all the de-
mocratic Van BuJen men ale going back TO CasS
and on the other hand, that all tie wing Van Buren,
men are going back TO Taylor. The ingenuity OF
our enemies will be aNe0 - deceive and belray us;
but friends stand firm; nothing can or Will occur
10 change in any degree the position OF parties,
betn cen this and the election.

that Mr. Durkee will get the largest majority ever

Mr.. Finch is addressing his Taylor friends in
Racine county. The Racine Wing says that he
speaks ably, and that the Van Burentes will suffer
i'll their strongholds- Wisconsin.
Exactly SO. The conclusion is that as Mr.
Finch has addressed but few persons in Racine
county, he has but few friends. He made speech
at Racine, and the Van Buren, Durkee men were
in hopes he would repeat it here, but he barely
showed himself in this region, and made a straight
wake for parts unknown.
By the way, the amiability of the Wisconsin
towards Mr.. Finch, is truly delightful. 1t can
scarcely find hard things enough TO say of Mr.,
Durkee but OF MIR. Finch it says nothing. We
incline to the opinion that the Cass men under the
lead of the Wisconsin, will before election unite
their force on Mr.. Finch, as anything would to
them, be preferable to the success of true Free
Soil man like Mr.. Durkee. No use, Durkee can
beat both of them
