Col. james Hughes.

This gentleman, agreeably to previous no.
lice. addressed the citizens of this place on
Monday evening. His remarks were perrin
ent and well received. Col. IL. is an able
and eloquent speaker, and does good justice TO
whatever cause he espouses. We regret that
the time IS too short for him to canvass the
entire state previous to the election. We al
so regret that some of the Democratic candid
ates have not found it convenient TO canvass
the State with Col. Hughes. and let the peo-
pie know their views upon the leading polit-
c topics.
After the Colonel had closed his remarks,
Moses II. STRONG, the champion Of all the
slipes Of Democracy, from '.Old Hickory 10
anti-harbor-andr iver-improvement Cass, took
the stand, and after a few preliminary remarks 5,
launched of upon his anti-bank hobby. and so
efIectually applied whip and spur, that before
he had got half round the course, all that was
70 be seen Of his pony, was the . blue-belly''
Of the red dog" Of which it appeared the
speaker himself had had the principal training.
and which threw his rider INFO rather an
unenviable predicament
Mr.. Strong produced the old rejected Con
stitution, from which he proved clearly that
the Democratic nominee for Governor. was
once, no: only opposed to banks, but was in
favor of finng and imprisoning any man who
should be caught in Wisconsin, with bank
bill in his pocket, but Mr.. S. could not saw
what Mr.. Upham's present views are on banks.
The closing scene of the meeting was decld-
edly rich, and we imagine Moses can tell by
this time, the meaning of "Caught Tqrfqr."

A F iLSE II O @ D

The last Madison Argus very exultine-
y declares that "The Willow River En-
quirer, a decided Administration Wing
paper, fatty refuses to sustain the Wing
ticket" The Editor of the Argus, no
doubt, knowing that Willow River is tino
home of Col Hughes, tie Wing candidate
for Lieut. Governor, supposed he could
make little capital for his sinking party
by coming the above falsehood and hay
ing it echoed through the State by other
Hunker papers, as regardless of truth rs
his own columns. The truth is, the editor
Of the Argus hI1cac he was penning false
hood, when he wrote the article contain
ing the above assertion. But as we have
the Willow River Enquirer" before us.
let Us see what it does say about the Wing
ticket. In that paper Of the 18th inst. we
find the following editorial remarks:
Let the Wings of this State. and in st.
Croix county especially. come up to the
work in sustaining the tickets which APP
pear IN our paper to-day, Wing State
and County tickets-both appear, remem
bering that ''in Union is strength and we
may reasonably anticipate a result at the
ensuing election which viii put the un-
terrified Democracy" to the blush We
were happy to perceive that the action Of

Gus and entirely Satisfactory the tjcLct is

This looks like boiling the ticket. truly.
The same paper, in speaking Of Colonel
Hughes, remarks
The Coils reception on his return home
was truly flattering, if zeal in the good
cause and honesty of purpose i'll CARRYING
out the principles of the National Wing
party, combined with experience and abl-
ity to discharge the high trust of Lieut..
Governor Of the State, can have their due
weight upon the minds Of our citizens. VIC

ent, Judge Burns, by handsome major

We would ask our Democratic friends
in Iowa county, and through the State. to
pause, and consider before they cast their
votes for men whose leading supporters
are driven TO such falsehoods in advocat-
ing their cause. We leave the readers Of
the Argus to their own conclusions. as to
the degree Of yeracity to which that sheet
is entitled

To tae Farmers Of Western WiAennsin.

Our Agricultural Fair recently held al Min
eral Point, shows that We can compare favor
ably with other portions of this country. even
in the oder states, which are almost entirely
devoted to farmcg.
We have some as good stock: We can pro-
duce better crops wilh less labor, and have
seen as fne apples, grapes, pluns, cherries
and straw berries. grown in this region, as are
to be found in the east. and believe we can
succeed in bringing the peach to bear. BY
dwariiug. lhave some hundreds equal to one
shown at the Pair, and have no doubt but they
will endure the winter hereafter as well as
heretofore.
Many among Us had articles Of their own
production, which were truly worthy Of
place in The exhibition, and ought 10 have been
brought. Some deferred joining our Society,
waiting TO see how we got along; of such.
let me ask, have we not shown ourselves wor-
thy OF your confidence Is not our aim no
bic one You now see that an Agricultural
Fair is practicable, even in a mining country
We wish to make it not only an exhibition
for premiums, but for sale aud exchange
This is an important feature, and what all
ought TO know. If we have any kind Of per
sonal property for sale, it should be on the
ground with its price labelled upon it, bat
friends in neighboring counties have an inter-
est and wright with Us, we are ready o com
pete with them, and award to them premiums
when they exceed US.
Hereafter let it BE understood that these
Fairs are not our property alone, they also be-
long to our Sons and Daughters, and we hope
to be cheered by their presence as much as
we know we Will be pleased with specimens
Of their industry. Let all bear in mind shat
every article which can be produced, Of use
for food, or clothing, or ornament, or any 9TH
er purpose whatever we request you to bring
them for exhibition, we viii provide place
for them, take care Of them, and return them
to you again with premiums and diplomas as
they are found worthy.
