Funny Enough.

1t makes us laugh just to think of it. TIC
see these venerable old hunkers, who hate free
soilers as they do the devil, supporting man
for Congress in this district, who voted for Ger
rit Smith for President, at the last election, be-
cause Van Buren, was not free soiler enough to
suit him. 1t suits us exactly. We like Gerrit
Smith first rate, and we are not without hope
that this same democracy will put him forward
as their choice for President next term. Just
think of that veteran democrat across the way
mailing up his flag:

Tall Corn.-Daniel Stevens, Esq. of
Pleasant Prairie, exhibited in our office, Sc
veral ears of corn, which looked to us pref
ty large. One was full 13 inches in length
another -, and in. in circumference at
the butt. -Four Others were about IL in.
III length and large IN proportion, and these
he says, were not much more than fair
average of the yield of the field from which
he took them. The corn was from to u
rowed, of the common yellow kind, and was
raised from seed brought by Mr.. Stevens
from Canada, where he procured it from
two different fields. Both kinds of seed
were of the rowed species, and produced
jointly this s, 10, and 10 rowed kind.
Dogs among the Sheep. -There has re-
Gently been, in this neighborhood, terrible
destruction of sheep by dogs. On the farm
OF Mr.. T. A. Higgins, near town, in one
night, thirteen of the choicest kind of sheep.
valued at 600 dollars, were destroyed. A
few nights after, on the same farm, num-
Der more were destroyed, and altogether
within small circle and within short time
as many as 80 sheep have been killed.
Two dogs were detected in the offence and
promptly slain.
We are told that wool-growers are con-
tlnually suffering from this cause, and that
IN this neighborhood some have sold off
then sheep because they find it impossible
to keep them. This ought to be remedied
Tor 1t IS of importance to every BODY that
Farmers be protected and encouraged in d.
versifying their labors. If dogs are at all
necessary, there are certainly about thou
sand more about this city, than can by anv
possibility be of use. We suggest wheth-
er it would not be good policy for the next
Legislature to impose a tax on these ami
mails. 1t would have the effect, we think,
to rid the country Of the surplus dog popu-
lation.

| IL The Free Sellers in Racine county have
nominated straight ticket throughout. They
passed the following resolutions:
Whereas, Charles Durkee has, by his manly,
straightforward course while in Congress, Civ
ell evidence of being an honest able, and fear
less exponent of Free men Therefore,
RESOLVED, That we-free men, and members
of the Free Democratic party of the Union
pledge him our united and unwavering support
in the coming canvass for Representative to Con-
gress from the first Congressional District of the
State of Wisconsin, believing, and hauing reason
TO believe, that he will fairly represent the O.
pnons OF the Free men, not only of this Con-
gressional District but of the whole Union.
ResotUed, That we, as party, and as true
Democrats, are now, and ever will be, in favor
of union with any and all classes of men who
will agree to, and will labor for, the principles
OF Democracy, as expounded by Thomas Jeffer-
son and other great founders of our government
Resotu d, That we, as free men, believe the
Creator of the world designed that every man be
the nheritor OF portion of the earth and that
1t is as much the inalienable right of man so to
inherit the earth as to inhale the air or enjoy the
light of the SIM.
ResoIred, That as party we believe it to be
the duty OF every man to labor for the independ-
ence OF himself and his race; and that we believe
the surest way to achieve the independence of
man, is to secure to all right to the soil, and by
enacting the necessary Land Limitation laws.
Resolced, That as men, we look with horror
upon the action of Congress on the fugitive Slave
bill, the Texas question, and other of the prosla-
very measures, of the traitors to man and to our
National Union; and that we, as men, pledge our
selves to show our contempt for such iniquitous
laws on the first opportunity, and on all proper
occasions to aid man in attempting to escape from
oppression, and to recover his natural rights.
Resolped, That as party, we are bound by
no factions, cliques, or combinations: and that as
party, we look upon the rights of the individu-
al as paramount to all others, and that therefore
we believe fully in the doctrine, that aall men
are created Free and Equa''

HE FUGITIVE LAW.-As will be seen by a
notice in another column, meeting of our citi-
zens is requested for the purpose of obtaining an
expression of opinion relative to this late law of
Congress. In our opinion, the occasion calls for
prompt and energetic action, for never was there
more inhuman and unjust law enacted by any
power. 1t is burning shame and foul dis
grace, that this republic in this enlightened day
should enact laws, which the most heathenish
and barbarous nation of earth would reject with
disgust and disdain. five are not entirely with
out self respect, we shall rise as one man, and
promptly expunge this foul blot from our nation
al escutcheon.
This law has one good feature. It makes nc
distinction of color; the words, black, white
slave, no where occnr in it. 1t is only necessa-
ry that man-hunter shall trump up couple OF
atildayits, on which he can procure a warrant
and with this warrant go where ho pleases and
seize whom he pleases, and the whole force OIL
the United States is at his service, and every
GOOD citizen is commanded under pains ano
penalties, to bear hand to bear the person cai.
med to any remote part of the union. No mat
riff you are free and always have been. Trial
| by Jury is abrogated, the habeas corpus is sus
pended, your own oath is to be heard nor taken
under any circumstances, but on these affidav.ts
which any scoundrel may trump up you can be
hurried to South Carolina, and there far from
friends, from all who can aid, assist, or defent
you, in the hands of enemies, be put through ;
mock trial and consigned forever to the " rice
swamps dank and Lone" And who do you sup
! pose pays for this beautiful illustration of huma
nifty and republicanism One would natural,
suppose that the man stealer who had secured
your body, might afford to do it. BY no means
but the national treasury, filled up by the toll o.
freemen of the north, is taxed for this purpose
We have no patience to continue the subject
Thank God, however, the vile thing is having
the effect it should have. From the east, the
west, the north, and the south, is rising sounc
of indignation, which will soon swell into hur
rlcane of consuming wrath. Cunning scoun
drels, who thought you had settled forever the
slavery agitation; you have overreached your
selves. Settled You have lulled the breeze
and raised the whirlwind. The country will
soon rock as with an earthquake to its very ex
tremes, and the rotten institutions of the lane
will tumble about the ears of those who seek to
sustain them. Let our city speak. Let every
human being whose heart and head are in the
right place be on hand at the proposed meeting
