u We think the correspondent of the Mil
waukee Wisconsin draws considerably upon his
fancy, in his account of the condition of business
in this city. He states that one-fourh of the
stores the place are closed, and that the streets
have Sunday silence about them. We ave
several very nice store houses here that never
have been occupied except temporarily, on ac-
count of unfavorable location; but in the business
part of the city we think of but two store houses
now unoccnpad. As to business it is not ge-
Morally very brisk at this season of the year, and
is but little worse than usual In addition
TO general causes, there is no question but our
local troubles have injured temporarily our bust
ness. Still we think by no means to the extent
made to appear in the article alluded to. The
writer however may be pardoned coming to our
quiet little city from the tlourshing emporium of
the state, things looked small to him, no doubt
Speaking of our city, brother Booth, of the
Free Democrat recently visited US, and of his vi
sit thus dscourseth:

appears to be room enough for it 10 grow in for
several generations. We should think it had as
mnch claim Washington to be called "the city
of magnificent distances" 1t has several hotels,
two of the largest class. the "Runas House"
and the "Durkee House" The former we did
not visit. The Durkee House we think is the
best furnished and best kept Public House in the
State. The rooms beds and tables are in first
rate order, and if travellers or boarders are not
satisfied with the courteous and obliging hosts.
Messrs, Francis g. Lusk, and the fare they pro-
vide for them, they need not expect to be suited
in this country.
But the glory of Kenosba is her Public School
The building is large and commodious, and the
Principal, Mr.. Marks, is just the man to preside
there His system of teaching Mathematics is
admirable. The other teachers are selected with
sole reference to their qualifications.
The great number of trees in Kenosha render
it delightful residence in summer, and the cha
racter of the people for temperance, morality and
love of freedom is such, that did not our duties
require our presence here, we should be strongly
tempted to become citizen of Kenosha. We
seemed to breathe more genial atmosphere
while mingling with her people, and left there
with kind remembrances, and our best wishes
for their prosperity.

DANIEL WEBSTER.
From The Ne,C York TriLuu

A correspondent sends us the following:
" Saturday afternoon came on from ph;la Hell
phia, with the remains of the late Daniel Web
ster; and was forciby struck with the ravages
which time and circumstances in two or three
years had made on this once eminent man. HIS
face was salIow and shrunken, and his eye Ian
guild and glazed; and even the presence of the
ladies on the boat, paying their regards to him,
could not arouse his thoughts, or expel from his
countenance its lethargic heavness. His steps
faltered even to tottering and his whole person
seemed the emblem of infrmty. | could not
but feel sad, as gazed on all that remains of the
once DANIEL WEBSTER! now sunk and faded,
not so much in the physical as in the irtellectu
al and moral man. Once, when darkness broo-
ded over the tents of Israel, and the people I'M
derstood not the law, the light of his mind, like
the pillar of fire by night" was the guide of the
votaries of Freedom toward the promised land );
but now, when the sun of liberty has brought
the dawn of perpetual day to make glad the ma
tons ofthe earth, "the spark of his fire no lon
ger shines" When, from the sleep of ages the
thunders ofhis eloquence have aroused mankind
to strike from Freedom, to do or die, his voice
like that of the Athenian who had felt the weight
of Philips gold, is either hushed in silence or
heard only on the side of the eppressor.

1TThe Board of Supervisors met on Monday
according to law, and selected several lots on
Market street, opposite the residence of 5 Fisk,
Esq, as suitable location for the Court House
and other county buildings. Another location,

place for Jail.
Now that the location for the county building
isdecidod uPon,we suppose the work of erecting
them will be commenced Immediately, and pro
secuted with vigor, so that the Court House vii

Our neighbor over the way is rejoiced that
! Pennsylvania has, in one branch Of her legisla-
ture, adopted more stringent provisions for the
recapture of fugitive slaves, because it will tend
10 aay the excitement of our southern brethren.
| Well, we don't know but it will If our south
ern brethren should seek to overturn the govern
ment, should covet our homes, and should seek
to convey ourselves end wives, and sons and
daughters into slavery, it would beyond question,
allay the excitement among them to tamely con-
cede and submit to these things. There was ex-
element among our British brethren about the
time the colonies began TO rise against the impo.
stion of the tea and stamp duty, which excite
ment might have been allayed at once, if we had
tamely submitted to be slaves from that time FORTH
Probably there never was an excitement growing
out OF disposition to tyrannize but might have
been allayed by conceding all the tyrants deman-
ded but we humbly submit that that is not the
way in which the rights we do possess have been
achieved, nor the way in which further rights
are to be obtained. To submit to any and all de-
mands which are made upon US, merely because
they are made, is sheer cowardice, and he who
will do ii is fit only for slave or the tool of ty
rant. Probably if the rights of our neighbor
were attacked in his own person, he would de-
fend them; so will an animal defend itself when
attacked; but it is the business of men to under
stand the principles of right and wrong, and up
hold and defend the right on all occasions, and he
is not a man who will not do it. We have only
| pity for the knavery or cowardice of those, who
are ready on all occasions to sacrifice truth, JUS
tce, and humanity. Let US know, not whether
our southern brethren are excited, but what they
are excited about-let us have the right of the
question, and whether it be with us or with them
let us defend it against our interests if necessary
and against the world if needs be- 1t is better
to die the martyr at the stake in defence of the
right, than to live the life of him who lights the
death fire.

The BATTLE AT MILwAUKEE.--The editor of
the Visions n is doing battle famously and VIC
toriously for the right, against the hollow preten-
sions of that rotten Foote clique" which as
sumes TO be the leader and exponent, par excel
lence, of democratic sentiments in Milwaukee.
Whoever expects to make grea, deal, out Of
this respect and show for southern slavery and
non-intervenuon, are a little behind the light
house. The northern democracy have willed in
their souls that slavery shall die, and they are
raising the right arm of their power to execute
that will.
The editor of the Wisconsin is not the man to
finch when he knows he is right, and knows too
that he is backed by every true democrat as well
as every working man of every party in the
state. The sainted spirit of every patriot who
sleeps in his bed of glory, from the immortal
George Washington to the immaculate Silas
Wright, urges him Invisible it may be to NOR
tai eyes, to perseSere in the glorious contest for
those principles which animated them in this life
and reflect so great lustre upon their names,
now they have seen the last of earth
In addition to the noble and out-spoken senti-
ments OF the Wisconsin upon this subject of hu.
man rights, we can earnestly recommend tn e
