Theferocious editor Of the Wig makes
eowardly assault upon Mr.. SasLDoN, in
his paperpf last week. charging that he
went 10 GpIunabus and ctained a seat in the
Legislature, knowing that.he had no right
80 to ID. This with that COZ geous editor
is.the great and damniings sin Of which Mr..
sheldsnlis guilty, and which, upon the
s resy eve q an lrportana election, he mus
tors ths conra Sc "a ehaFge upon him. Brave
Understandable man Sheldon has
been before the people d the c5uaty as The
candidate for Represent alive sinre, the 8tb
sef September, and not . lisp has this Wing
editor ssnlared to breathe 4 gainst him, un.
g his last issue before The election. Wasn't
that courageous? But how tands the case?
Sheldon knew that there were Two
whigs claiming seats who we're constitu-
siDpsIIy ineligible and had no friigghtto them
Iis knsw bat The se.uefe two Wigs claim
! ing seats 5 hen they Tad neither tile ce4tifl-.
Gates Of election nor right TO seats, and he

knew that BIZ these means the nligg party.

tts aga 4 ss ard knowing, too,
thai tsse Fl Tie y Zig claimants were pre-
Guided from Their seats By. the constitution,
and that the ether two bad no constitutions
d right nor legal authority to seats, was
not Mr. Sheldon justified in taking his seat
inthe org anization Of the House and retain-
ing Il until that body fthe only body legal
II competent shsufd decide the natter -.
Had be acted differently while the wings
were Trying to nsurp power, not a Demo
cfat ia old Portage would bave justified his
course.
But, whilestle editor of The Wing con-
demns Mr. Sheldon, he lauds the course of
the four wings who claimed seats wi hout
any constitutional. or legal rig lit to them
he approves Of the close-mou,h policy by
which the competitor of Mr.. S., deceived tie
people into his support-he approves the
disorganizins and revolutionary course Of
the factious minority who prevented an Or
ganization of the House for a number of
weeks, atan expense of thousands of dollars.
TO the people, for the purpose of obtaining
seats for two wings who were neither eect-
ed nor had certificates Of election he iusti-
fes former wing Clerk Of the House for
going toColumbus and without authority
claiming the right to organize that body
all this he approves and thinks it was mighty
proper; and it was perfectly right that these
whig claimants and this wbig Clerk, and
these whig disorganizers should receive pay
for the time they spent in preventing lesis-
lation and disgracing the state,f but it was
a great outrage for Mr.. Sheldon: to receive
pay for the time he waited for that body TO
decide upon his case! Oh, consistency thou
art o Jewell.

nF Ms. Fifzserald, a Parish Priest, has
issued through the Eimsfiek Examiner, an
address tostenant farmers, in which he des-
cribes ireland as parcelea out under some
sl0,0 900 landlords, each a sovereign Of he.
/ reditary dynasty, with something like pow
er TO demand from his tenants whatever,
! (backed by thepoWer to do wLatever) seems
/ good in his eyes. The eloquent scribe says:
| He (oae Of the landlord kings can seize
| upon every particle aof property belonging
to his subject or slave. He can seize bis last
| eow-his last blanket; he can burn his
! house before his face he can turn. out his
| shvering wife-his wailing and starving
children: he can turn out the dropsical old
| mantle paralgzed old e~one; be can drag
/ the subject in the paroxysm OF. fever, and
| fling him out eitherwith or without his bed
of straw. Some say that there exists most
deadly antipatny between these 10000
kings, and the four or five millions over
whom. they rule. Psrl.sa.5ut is ronaposed
eaeiusareiy of a certain ,snnsber Of those
dyaasts dspRted to soatcA o"er tie inter-
ests Of the other sd7nasts; therefore no
change isfo Be expected The kings do
bni exercise the the sacred right Of sove-
reignty, or, as they call it properly. They
have themselves and their rank to support
in due splendor,; and better peasants should
groaa, and their acires acesp, and their
children aeait than that the palace should
abate one iota of the ordinary catalogue of
splendors and luxuries."
Such is the state OF abject dependence
and servility 10 which a system of land mo-
nopoly has reduced the millions of Irelan
and it is but the legitimate result of that
that aecursed system. In whatever nation
the land becomes ths property Of the few
a like condition, will become the lot of.
tie masses, whether in lrelando America.

by The two greatest rivers OF our continent,
the Missouri sweeping It's entire western
border: the Mississippi and Lake Superior

States Of Wisconsin and Iowa limit US on
the south, the possessions of The liudson's
Bay Company present the only barrier to
our dominion on the extreme north-in all
embracing an area of one hundred and fifty
thousand square miles, a country sufficient
ly extensive to admit Of the erection OF four
States of the largest class, each enjoying in
abundance most n' the elements of future
greatness. Its soil is Of the most productive e
character, yet Our northern latitude saves
tts from the malaria and death which in
other climes are so often attendant upon a
liberal soil. Our people, under the health

climate, will never sink into lisilessness but
continue to possess the vi igor and the energy
