O. Since the Gle ction :hc Wisconsin has disco
vered that Gen. Taylor is patriotic and honest
man, and will undoubtedly make good President.
We are not aware of any thing that has occurred
since election, to change Gen. Taylor's character,
and if the Wisconsin thought before election
what precious specimen of honesty its editor must
be, tie have been abusing Gen. Taylor, as he has,
for months past This kind Of political morality
that allows man to lie like pirate about his po-
ltical opponents bciorr election, to take it all back
after election, we can't appreciate. If we had
thought that Gen. Taylor was either patriotic or
honest, we should have said so but we did not
think so before election, do we now. Should,
his administration. however prove us to be mistaken
we shall not be slow to acknowledge it, but did
not object to the man without reason, shall we,
without reason, change OUR views

FROM YUcATAN.-Therc was an arrival
at Vera Cruz, on the llh inst, from Cam
peachy, with dates to the 9th inst. Advi-
ces were brbught, that the Indians, to the
number of ten thousand men, had attacked
Yaxccba again, and forced the garrison to
fall back upon Sotuta. The garrison con-
sisted of 400 men, under command of d.
Jose Dolores Paos, who lost 200 m:n, in
killed and dispersed. Capt Acosta was
among the killed. lie had more immcdi>
ate command Of the troops under Paos.-
The government immediately dispatched
from Merida Col. Rosado with a reinforce
mcnt of 200 men, with orders to take the
command of the whole body of troops
Great apprehension is felt, that this reverse
is but prelude TO long series Of disIs-
tiers.

u ELEAzER Roor has no doubt been chosen
superintendent of public instruction by large ma
3ority. We regret this much, not on account OF
Mr.. Codding whose success we desired, but who
himself we know, cared not pin about it, but be-
cause we do believe this important Trust has been
committed to hands entirely incompetent. The
old bunker parties loudly discIaiming all party fee
Ing and yet actuated entirely by hatred OF the free
soil movement and free soil men, united to defeat
Mr., Codding, and they succeeded. Let them and
their children after them reap the reward of this
blind hate and prejudice

| When Mr.. Durkee was nominated as our candI-
date for Member of Congress, it thought by
many, and loudly proclaimed by our opponents,
that he would tar behind our ticket and iniurc
! it to boot. The result has shown that Mr. Durkce
is by far the most popular man in this district and
those who have known him best and longest, agree
in saying that he is deservedly so. In this county
his popularity is unbounded and were he put up
again, we donbt whether the other two parties
would think it worth while to run candidates
against him.
Mr.. Dnrkee has earned the right Kind of popu-
larlty, for he has earned it without seeking it
We have no doubt that he himself has been aston.
lshed to find how well he is known and how highly
he is appreciated. He has sought office, and
never, therefore, endeavored to popularity for
the sake of it. lie stands high because lie is known
to be inst, firm, determined, generous, and warm
friend to the cause he espouses, and the men he
Iabors with.
The election of Mr. Durkec against the immense
vote of Milwaukee, is a great triumph. The NOR,
tltcation of the wire pulling politicians in resHect
TO his popularity must be great, and the lesson to
them will we hope be salutary one. We trust
that they will learn that il they wish popularity
in future they must not depend upon party nom
nations, or party machinery. but must earn such
reputation as Mr.. Durkce has, when popularity
will come of ITSELF and the people will place them
where they ought TO be. In the late election tue
people have placed the three candidates Just where
they ought TO be- and we all feel it.--Racine .4dr

MIR. van Amringe's Mission.

Our readers generally, no doubt, are aware that
Mr.. Van Amrnge, the lecturer on Land Reform,
is now at work i'll our state, his second mission.
The expenses of his first mission were paid entirely
by the National Reform Society, located mainly in
New York state On this occasion, it is expected
the people of this state will be willing to bear pro-
portion of the expense. The friends of the cause
most certainly ought to. We feel that we are as u
people, indebted in small degree to the efforts OF
Mr.. V. A. for measures of sound reform already in
corporatcd into our statutes, and we have no doubt
his present Iabors, will be highly beneficial to
people, at large. Measures will probably be taken
to raise funds for this work, and hope all friends
of the cause will hold themselves in readiness to
contribute according to their means.

acquainted with, is about to be discontinued, its
place to be supplied by the "WIscoNsIS FREE De-
NoCRAr." :. VI. Booth, the present editor of the
Freeman. will be at the head of the new establish
ment. We have no hesitation in saying, that we
consider Mr.. Booth the best editor in the state. He
did giants work for the Free Democracy during
the late campaign, and we trust he will be supper
ted in such manner, as will secure his undivided
energies for the same good cause, in the coming
time.

The Wisconsin Freeman talks to the Wisconsin
exactly right about that sectional vote Of South
port" We would say, that although the course of
the Wisconsin and the wire pullers at Milwaukee
was calculated to drive the people of Southport and
all other parts of the district into sectional vote,
yet the vote in this place for Mr.. Durkee, may be
set down to the man rather than the locality. We
think we shall not be disputed when we say that no
other citizen Of our place, could have got such a
vote

An Inquiry ANswEREp.-A c0rrespon-
dent wants light. Senator Dix said in his
speech that the Congress that passed the
famous Ordinance of 1887 sat in New
York, The author Of the address of the
Ohio Convention says it sat in PhIadcl-
phia. Which version is the correct one
our correspondent asks. We answer that
ex-senator Dix. Congress in consequence
of mob violence, removed in 1885 from
Philadelphia to New York, and it was there
that it adopted the Ordinance of 1897 The
Convention that framed the Constitution 81,
in Philadelphia. The Congress and the
Convention were in session at the same

the House of Burr Beers, in the town of Paris, on
Thursday, the 9TH day of November next, at 10
o'clock, a. NJ, for the purpose of perfecting the
permanent organization Of agricultural society
BY order of the Executive committee This crll
is worthy of the attention of the farmers of Racine
county. Agricultural societies have a most favora-
bic bearing upon the interests of agriculture, ha
been fully proven wherever they have been estab-
shed. The Agricultural interest of this county is
now sufficiently advanced, to be able to establish
societies of this character and the sooner our far
mcrs go into it, the sooner will they meet their
ward. Let this call then be attended to.

a. We notice that the friends of the Buffalo
platform, in different sections of the country, are
calling meetings to continue and perfect their orga-
nization. Those who noticed the proceedings of
the Free Soil Convention for this State which as
sembled at Madison in August last, viii recollect
that committee was then appointed to draft plat
form embracing issues both state and national, for
the permanent organization of the FREQ Soil party
of this state said platform to be presented for the
consideration Of the Free Democracy, at Mass
Meeting TO be held at Madison, on the 18th of ia
nuary next That the time has arrived when the
Democracy of the country called upon to take
forward step, and assume higher ground than has
heretofore been occupied, we believe every thinking
mind must admit. This committee, whilst they
will not leave practical ground, will no doubt lay
down platform embodying those democratic, pro.
grcssivc measures which are forcing themselves up
the attention of the country, and upon which the
great body of the democracy of the state can hear
tily unite.

The Chicago Democrat wonders if Gen. CGss is
now satisfied who his true friends, whether
those who advised him to write the Nicholson let
ter, or those who advised him otherwise. This
confirms what we had always supposed, that in the
matter of that letter, Cass was mere tool in the
hands oil others, to utter their sentiments and to
carry those sentiments into the administration of
the government. We hope Gen. Cass and the ed
tor of the Democrat, and all others will some day
learn that the people of this nation want nothing
to do with men who hold their political sentiments
at the will of others, and neithor hold nor express
opinions, except to advance their own interests.

Result i'm the State.

We get no figures sufficiently definite to make ii
an object to lay them before our readers We know
however, that the state has gone for Cass by pIu-
ray of about two thousand. Whether Van Blu
CT Taylor stands next on the list, cannot tell
until the figures are received.
The probability is that the Cass party will have
bare majority on JOINT ballot in the Legislature,
The Free Soil vote in the Legislature will be from
Is to 20; the Taylor vote about the same.
