thousand persons, is capable of sustain.

from the immense rush of emigration
pouring into it, il will be but short time
before every acre of land will be bought
up, and that part of the Valley will be
alive with the hum and din OF machi-
nery.

1--WE ARE VERY mucn OOHgeu 10 Inc
editors of the OHum,ca Courier for not
sending US a paper containing that col
umn article in reply to one in this paper.
1t shows, too, that if they could get out
of hearing of anybody they could an
swer the arguments [!!!] or deny the as
ser,ions of others without much difficult
ty. We admire snch trait in an edi-
tor, for when he says anything about a
contemporary that he does not believe
himself, or is ashamed of, he is jussifia-
BILE in preventing its circulation as much
as possible. But this is no new trick in
the Courier--it fails to reach us nearly
one-fourth of the time. 1t seems that
the paper is hard run, and the editors
cannot afford to send a regular exchange
to all the papers within the State"
The above appeared in the last No. of
the TT. Madison Statesman. The No.
of the Courier referred 10 was mailed to
the Statesman at the proper time. As
to the insinuation that we wished 10 'sget
out of hearing Of the Statesman men,
in order 10 "answer has arguments
or deny his ..assertions," we owe it to
truth to say, that we never yet have been
able TO find an "argumcnt' in that paper.
Arguments! indeed. They are some
thing that the editors of that sheet don't
deal in. AS to "assertions.' barefaced,
unfounded and base assertions, the edto-
rails OF the Statesman are pretty much
made up of them. The editors it seems,
admires at least one trait in our charac-
ter. Well, that is refreshing. We are
truly sorry, dear fellows, that we cannot
return the compliment; but we can see
nothing 10 admire in man who deals
only in insinuations and assertions.
But it seems that the Courier fails to
reach the Statesman men "nearly one
fourth of the time" This is strange;
we hear no complaints from any other
quarter, and we are disposed to think
that you have let your passion get the
better of your judgement, and while in
a bad humor immagined that the Courier
was irregular. Or your motive may be
to create the impression that we are
afraid to come in contact with men of
your profundity and parts!
You think us '.hard rum" do you.-
Well, be that as it may, we will not
quarrel about that. just keep your shirt
on-if possible, and~ don't make your
selves the victims of "misplaced conf
dence," and we will try to keep a half
sheet or SO on hand, to send you an oc-
casional exchange.

FRAHcE.-The critical condition oil
affairs in France is thus described in q
recent letter from Paris, written by Rob-
ert Walsh, Esq, to the New York Jour-
nal Of Commerce:
SAT present, a lively sense Of insecu-
rity-as general an apprehension of a
sanguinary struggle-and as much hos
tile preparation on the side of the Dem
ocratic parties and on that of the Gov
ernment--are to be remarked as at any
period within the twenty years past
The bill about to be reported, for altering
and curtailing the law of Universal Sui
frage, is the occasion for this extreme
turmoil and danger; but the real causes
are deeper and broader, and must speed.
ly have induced the same state of things.
No party is content with the constitution.

"A dispatch in the Journal of Com

When this gentleman was first announ-
ced as the Wing candidate ia this dis
trict, the Sentinel spoke in the highest
terms Of his character and qualifications;
add took occasion to say that the wings
had brought out candidate who would
have to be opposed upon party princi-
pies. But no sooner does the canvass
commence than we behold this same ed.
itor, who but a few days before was will
ling, for once, to let party principles de-
eide the contest, abandoning the discuss
sion of principles, 10 misrepresent Mr..
virgins speech, and SANDER the meet
ing. Hear him:
1--WE were favored with speech from
this gentleman, (Mr. Wrighl,) on Satur-
day last, and though we are willing to
award him ability, readiness and tact, yet
we do not think the most ardent Of his
friends will think it democratic ie,"
when we say his speech was failure"
And again:
"'rhe Wing rally was complete fail
ure; their enthusiasm was below par,
and that speech which they told us would
lay the Locofocos cold, was a complete
fash in the pam
Deeply chagrined and mortified at the
miserable failure Of Hem, in his effort
to make speech before the convention
in this place, the editor is trying to draw
some Of the contempt felt for the effort
of his candidate, towards Mr.. Wright.
If the Sentinel thinks that any one ac-
quainted with Mr.. Wright, and with his
ability as clear, concise, and fluent
speaker, can be made to believe that he
made ian entire failure" .a flash in the
PAN" We can tell him he is counting
without his host. He seems to have
been impressed, at the time of writing
this unfair article, with the belief that the
people would regard il in its true light
democratic lie,''-hence his anxiety
to assure them to the contrary.
We have seen several who were at the
meeting referred to, who, with due def.
ference to Mr.. Drown, stand as high, fol
veracity and truth as he does. They
assure us that the meeting was compo-
sed of some 3 to 500 persons, was very
enthusiastic, and that Mr.. w. made a
good speech; which, while il gave the
locos good sailing, was enthusiastically
received by the Wings, who evinced a
determined spirit that has alarmed the
editor, and induced him to abandon his
good intentions first announced. and turn,
like the "sow to her wallow in the mire"
again.

From Lake superior,

MINING NEws.-We receive from all who have
visited the mines the lakes this season the most
favorable accounts of the business The working
companies all doing well, and many new com
panes have been prosecuting their operations with
the greatest energy, being encouraged by the Won
derful developments made at the Minnesota, the
Cliff, North American and North Western. These
companies now turning out large quantities OF
native copper, with some fine sprinkngs OF silver;
and the deeper they have gone down in every in
stance, we believe, these mines have been richer.
Heretofore the principal part of the excitement
try; but at present the country has been 80 much
''proved up'' the past and present years, that all
the excitement is at the mines; and we understand
that there has been good deal OF buying and sell
ing of locations and stocks the lake this season.
Capitalists beginning to see the value OF these
copper and iron mountains, and a location at all
promising need not go begging any longer Tor a
buyer.
TaEATY WITH THE lNDIANs.-Preparatons for
the treaty with the Indians of the Chippeway ma
ton claiming the lands the north shore Of lakes
Huron and Superior, have been going on for some
days, and have enlivened the place. Hon. w. Is.
Robinson, the commissioner TO adJudicate the
claims Of the Indians, has been here several days,
and the arrival Of the governor general OF Canada
adds to the general interest manifested IN the
treaty. There is goodly number of visiters in
the place, waiting TO be present at the making OF
the treaty, and the Indian chiefs and headmen are
struttng about the streets with read coats, head
dresses of feathers and party colored ribbons, long
pipes and kinni ka- nick pouches beautiful mecca
sins and leggins.-Lake Superior Journal.
