u The Racine Advocate thinks the elective
franchise is not positive inherent right, but a
privilege. We cannot agree in the opinion. We
think if there are such things as positive inherent
rights, that of governing ourselves or the elective
franchise is among the number. Ii it be but a
privilege, who possesses the right to concede or
withhold it. "A privilege implies the existence of
a right someplace, and if such be the fact, upon
what is the right founded in those who have the
power OF correcting or withhold ny it. According
to our view OF the doctrine of the Advocate no peo.
PIE or nation, have the right TO modify their gov
aud no right to change monarchical to a republ
can government. VIII our friend of the Advocate
deny that if people are ground to the earth bv
oppression, they have no right TO resort TO the bav
onet for redress, and for the overthrow of their
oppressors. Will he contend they have no inhe
rent right to do this but on the contrary. those
who have become the oppressors have right to
continue so. 1t is one way or the other: there is
no middle ground. Either oppressors have ,iphi
to oPpress or the people have right to resist
If the people have right 20 resist how can the
right of The ballot box be denied for it is but ano,b>
er mode of revolution. Bayonets are used when
there is no other resource to put down one set of
opinions and put up another; in republican gov
ernment like ours there is another resource. and
that is the ballot box but the revolution, the up,
turning and overturring, is Just as efiectual as
though the majority used the bayonet instead. Ii
may be said that it is question of means only, BY
which an end is to be accomplished. Admit il

The War ina India.

The details of the late warlike intelli-
gence from India, is of more than or
binary interest, but we can at present
make but brief alIuSion to the subject.
The Bombay Telegraph says, another
OF those murdcrous conflicts with the
Sinks has occurred on the left bank of
the river Jehlum, and was as some say,
on the identical spot which 1000 years
ago formed the battle field of Alexander
and Porus, that scene, rich in classic
associations, has been the arena of a
fierce and protracted struggle between
the army of the Puniaub under Lord
Cough, and Sink forces under Raiah
Shwere Singh. A struggle in which
the British have to deplore the loss of
ut least % officers, and $500 men killed
and wounded, / guns captured, and 4
or regimental colors We're taken bvth
enemy. The battle terminated in vic
tory but was disgraced by the flight of
the Bengal Cavalry regiment, and the
retreat is as yet, SATISFACTORY . explain.
ed, of two British corps of Dragoons,-
struggle which LETT the contending
posts SO weak and shattered, that it was
doubtful which had sustained the great
est injury from the conflict, and which
yielded 50 few of the badges of triumph
for the vlctors, that their opponents
took new position, and fired new sa-
lutte in honor of its termination. Tho
masters of the field, our laurels are
drenched with blood, and it is the uni
versal opinion, that two more such vic.
tories would be virtual ruin. No at
tempt is made by the English press to
disguise the fact, that the news from
India is of the most disastrous charac-
ter.
Lord Cough has been promptly SUI,
perseded in the command by Sir Chas.
Napier, who was to have proceeded u

This charter was amended during Ike late session
of the Legislature to constitute five of the directors
a quorum to do business. This change will obvi-
ate the difficulty which has heretofore existed in
consequence of the seeming impossibility of get
ting majority of tie directors together, and will
enable the directors to go Oh and do business. A
large share of the stock OF the work has been sub
scribed, and as the only difficulty which existed
has been removed, we look to see the work pushed
forward without delay. The importance, indeed
the necessity of it, is manifest For e-halC and
some times two-thirds of the year, comrlete en-
