MILWAUKEE & MISSISSIPPI RAIL
ROAD.


The Importance of this Road to the people
of the State Of Wisconsin, we think can
hard be overrated. We have before spoken
upon the subject, but recently our attention
has been again called to the subject by gen.
tloman of this place friendly 10 the enterprise,
who fully concurs IN opinion with US as to
the necessity of speedy &c ion, on the part of
the citizens of the western portion Of the
State. The Milwaukeeans have subscribed
very literally for the Road,-all that could
be expected from them.
The importance of the work, and the bene-
fits that would result to the State at large,
are sufficient, In our opinion, to warrant the
State to loan, upon sufficient. security, what
ever portion of the School fund may be at
their command. If it were a local affair, or
one that would benefit but few individuals,
the case would stand very different. But
this road, we believe, will be to Wisconsin
what the Erie Canal has been to the State of
Newly ork, and for this reason we urge the
necessity Of action. We are not prepared 70
say what would be the best course to pursue,
but would be glad to have some one Tor more
if they choose take up the subject in our
columns, and lay it before the people in a
proper light.

COURSE OF THE NATIONAL ERA.

This great organ of the Siamese LocofOco
Free Soil party, is out upon the conduct Of
President Taylor's Cabinet with the most Bit
ter anathemas; accusing them of Bigotry,
Pro-Slaveryisln, &C., in language il-becom-
ing the veriest political BLACKBOARD. Hon.
Thomas Ewing and Judge Collamer appear
TO be particularly obnoxious to the Editor of
the Era. 1t is well known that the National
Era was established as the organ Of those
opposed TO the Institution of Slavery, and as
such has been literally patronized by Wings
in every section Of the Union. 1t was sup
posed that the Rererend Mr.. Bailey, its Ed
itor, was man of sufficient capabiity and
honesty, to conduct the Era upon fair terms,
entirely aloof from the other political parties
of the day. But, alas for poor human ma
ture! While the Wings have been patron
izing the paper, they have been warming in
TO existence viper, whose poisonous fangs
were destined to pierce them with the most
venomous SANDER. When such men as Judge
Collamer, Thomas Ewing, William H. Sew
ard, and others, whose names have ever been
associated with the dearest interests of the
Republic-men who have never looked upon
the peculiar Institution of Slavery with the
least degree of appreciation, are assailed as
bigots and Pro-Slavery men-and that too by
a man who seeks to cover the deformity Of
his own principles 1--WE should have said no
prnciples) with the sanctimonious garb of a
preacher of the Gospel, is it not time for
to I l,air 7ud
stow ii upon some one more worthy? Oppo-
sition to the extension Of Slavery, and its Ill
innate abolition, have long been promulgated
| as principles of the Wing Party-principles
which they have not only advocated but act
ed upon-principles which they still adhere
to. But because honest upright men. are not
willing to look through the same fanaticaI spec
tacles which Mr.. Bailey wears upon his nose.
they are traduced, and their friends are asked
to consider them Pro-Slavery bigots, and told
that the friends OF freedom might sooner ex-
/ pect simple justice from any Southerner than
/ from them We envy not the Editor of the
! National Era the position he occupies
/ While he is groveling along in the slime Of
his own degradation, the men he thus vliies
can stand upon high eminence of moral and
political hOnesty-resPected by all honest Po-
/ litical opponents, and beloved by a nation at
/ large-secure from any invectives he may at
tempt to heap upon thern--and smile as they
behold the shafts aimed at their reputation,
fall thick and fast upon the head Of him who
sends them.
We again say to the Wings of Wisconsin,
/ if you wish for an honest, candid paper, op-
posed to the Institution Of SIavery-take some
other one than the National Era.

The HARvEsT.-We rejoice to learn that
our Farmers are web advanced in securing an
abundant wheat harvest, with which they are
blessed this season. We understand that the
season, and that the quantity exceeds that of
any previous year, in this vicinity. We learn
that about the lakes, in Wisconsin and north
ern Illinois, the wheat crop is much injured
with rust. In this vicinity nothing of the

Of publishing a seven column paper, has come

and ensmalIed his sheet to six columns. This

PRESIDENTS PRoCLANArIoN.-In our last
weeks paper we published the Proclamation
of President Taylor, recommending the OBJ
servance Of the first Friday in August, as a
day Of Public Fasting and Prayer throughout
the United States. The language in which
this Proclamation is couched, is worthy of
the man whose name follows, as evincing a
high sense of the obligation ola free People,
for mercies already received, and dePen-
dence for continuance. We hope the day
will be reigiously observed in this, as recon-
mended.
