COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. EDITOR :-Impeled by sense of duty,
am constrained to speak. Permit me through
yourcolumns to do so. We are just on the eve
of an important election, and it is our duty as
good citizens, to exercise the right of Franchise,
with sound judgment. Ny object is to cause
nv political brethren, the Wings, to think, before
they vote, and ponder well as between the Con-
pressional candidates. We all know the preva-
lence of Northern doughfaceism, it is the curse
of Northern representation, through it the South
has and can accomplish their wishes.-Now caa
any consistent man be one moment at loss to
discriminate as between Chas. Durkee and An
drew E. Elmore-the one the honest, open and
fearless defender of the right, no vascillation
when duty points, and the principles of humanity
at stake, his character appreciated by the wise
and good, his recent course before the world de-
fees defamation, even the tongue of Islander is
mute. Now his opponent; what are his preten-
sions based upon? His friends say that he is an
active tactican; that is, expert IN political ma
nHuvring, so much so that he is expected to
wheedle the south into his views on most occa-
sions. Now concede that he ought to succeed
as general thing for he is in the political secrets
of ali parties. Originally, an active wing. then
an abolitionist, now al old bunker. Now if he
has not the requisites for doughfacesm, do not
know where he will get the balance from.
Fellow Citizens, as you prize your reputation ;
as you prize the character of Wisconsin, be-
seech you, vote for Charles Durkee. Show to
the world that you appreciate the man. that you
value character. A WING.

Fugitive slave Excitement.

The excitement here about the recapture of
Fugitive Slaves, under the new law, is very
great. The City Council, have required the
City Police, and requested all citizens to give
no aid to the recapture Of Slaves.
They also passed several resolutions in con-
demnation of the Law, and censured the Mem
bers from Free States, who voted for the Bill, or
avoided the responsibility of voting.
Last night, the opponents of the Law held
meeting in the City Hail. The Hall was full
and the most violent speaches made, which Gre
ated great cheering. Resolutions were offered
declaring it to be the duty of citizens to set the
Law at defiance, and declaring the blacks to be
justifedin resisting all attempts to capture them
even to the death. The meeting adjourned ill
Friday evening to consider and vote upon the
resolutions.
This evening Senator DOUGLAS is adore ssng
an immense concourse Of people in the City
Hall, to defend himself against the assertions of
the Council, and TO explain his position on all
measures embraced in the Compromise
A despatch from Chicago this morning says
that Douglas was quite successful in his defence,
so much SO that at the close Of his speech, three
hearty cheers were given for him, and three more
for the constitution. The positions he assumed
and endeavored to sustain, were, that the Fugi-
tive Slave law did NOT abrogate the Habeas Cor
pus privilege nor interfere with the right OF
trial by jury that in all its essential features it
was the same as the law of 1893, and that in eve
~ respect, it was in strict accordance with the
constitution.
We are anxious TO see by what kind of special
pleading he can make even respectable show
in the way of susta ming hmselfin these evident
ly false and absurd positions, and we can hardly
believe that in the face OF sef-evident facts the
people were carried away by his ingenious So
phisms.
