PRosPECTs-Mr. Durkee had great meet
ing at Hudson, Walworth county, Wednesday
evening. Almost the entire vote of the south
western part Of the county will be cast for him.
At his meeting at Sugar Creek, the church was
crowded. and at the close of his speech every
man but two in the house rose on a motion to
pledge themselves to vote for him. Mr. F. NJ
Rublee, merchant of that town, says Mr.. Ell
more, in his judgment, will not get ten votes in
that town. In the south half of Vernon, Wau-
kesha county, there is but one Gilmore man
known. In Paris, Racine county, they are all
Durkee men. We expect Mr.. Durkee will come
into this county with 5000 majority. Mr.. FL
more's sober friends here, estimate his majority
in this county at from 800 to 1000, and some
place it as low as 600 or 700. We don't think
it will exceed 1000, and it may not reach half
that. But everything depends on the work done
between this time and the close of the polls

in favor of the constitutionality of kidnap-
ping, and in opposition to Mr.. Durkee,

the contest is now narrowed down to the
simple issue, whether we shall sustain this
Slave Catching Law, or 60 for its repeal
whether we shall let it drop dead from the
statute-b book, or endeavor, with the Ms
consin, to vitalize it, and elect a member
of Congress on the strength of it. We are
willing that Mr.. Durkee should go before
the people on this issue.

The DFFERENcE.--Mr Durkee visited our
city, called our citizens together by public notice.
talked to them an hour explaining his position,
views, &C., and then avowed himself ready to
answer any questions which any one chose %
PROFOUND to him.
Mr.. Gilmore has been with us twice since his
nomination, but on neither occasion did he seek
a public interview with our people. During his
last visit, a meeting of his friends was called to
be addressed by three individuals; and although
Mr. Gilmore was in town he did not appear at the
meeting. These three men all seemed to repre-
sent different principles, for whilst the time of
the second speaker was occupied in overthrow
ing the positions of the first, the time of the third
was taken to combat those of the second. 1t
strikes US there is radical difference here in fa-
vor of Mr.. Durkee, for whilst we cannot learn
from Mr. Elmore himself exactly where he does
stand, his friends seem to have every possible
shade of opinions. Who wants to go to sea in
boat without rudder If there be any such
let them vote for Mr.. Gilmore.

mEETING AT wHEATLANfy.

At meeting of the voters of the town of
Wheatland, county of Kenosha, assembled to
hear an address from Hon. CHARLES DURKEE,
THOMAS SLADE was called to the chair.
At the close of the address the following res
olutions were unanimously adopted.
Resolred, That we have listened with deep in
terest to the account given us by our faithful
representative in Congress, the Hon. Charles
Durkee, of the recent action OF that body in at
tempting to settle the agitation of the slavery
question.
Resolped, That we repudiate from our Utmost
souls the settlement of this question by the
adoption Of the Texas Boundary Bill, the reiec-
ton of the application for admission into the In
ion of New Mexico with free Constitution, the
establishment of governments for the territories
of New Mexico and Utah without the incorpora-
ton of the Wilmot Proyiso, and the passage of
that most infamous and wicked enactment known
as the Fugitive Slave law.
ReSolued, That we will never recognise any
settlement of this great question, except settle
ment that establishes justice, and secures the
blessings Of liberty to all the inhabitants of our
land.
RESOLVED, That in the action of the last ses-
sion of Congress, we have the most conclusive
evidence of the propriety of the efforts made du-
ring the few past years, for the arrest of the ag
gression of the slave power, and that at the pres
ent time there is the most imperative demand for
the freemen of the whole country, without ref
erence to old party lines, to combine to arrest the
aggressive movements of this great monopoly
Resolued, That the course of our representa-
tive in the last Congress, the Hon. Charles Dur
kee, meets with our most unqualified approba-
ton, and that we will use every honorable effort
TO secure his reelection as member of the next
Congress.
