Who Is Mad Now ?

1t seems that il is not in our power to lay down
aproposiii on, or make a plain business state
ment without making somebody mad"
In what we said last week we said nothing
about our neighbors paying his hands. 1t seems
however, that "the CALLED jade winces." We
are quite sorry our friend is SO sensitive upon
that point. We simply said that tce could not
work for nothing, and have the means to pay oul
help, as any body might see.
And how the "hands" of our neighbor became
imbued with desire to flourish "lhree legged
stools at US" we cannot tell, unless they wish te
keep their hand in, in the pastime which the Dem
ocrst Office affords-and have caught the spirit
Of paul" himself.
1t is vastly amusing 10 US to hear the Demo.
crat say it will not knowingly cut down prices
when 1t is notorious that all the patronage he
gets, comes from underbidding-or else every
body who has anything to say about it lies.
But we don't much blame him for that, unde,
the circumstances. We know that an adver.
tisement is worth according to the circulation Of
the paper, and, of course, he ough! to cut under
Hu!e.
But that is no reason why printer should
"rat' on JOB Work down to zero.
We are little anxious to see how our legal
friends will get along, when they ask for an aft
daVit that their notices have been published once
in each week consecutively. When the Editor
acknowledges that the paper was not published
from the Saturday of one week till the Sunday
or Monday of the second week following.
Apaper which is printed ssmi-occasionqHy is
not the kind Of paper which is spoken Of in the
Revised Statutes of Wisconsin.
These publications may suit the convenience
of the Editor-and not tally with the require.
ments of the Courts.

Mr. Durkee's Vote for Speaker.

The Kenosha Democrat of the Goth inst.
makes violent onslaught upon Mr.. DURKEE
the Representative from this Congressional Dis
trict, for his vote for Speaker. Instead of sup.
porting LINN BOYD, the democratic" caucus
candidate Mr.. DURKEE gave his vote for Mr..
THADDEUs STEVENS, prominent wing member
from Pennsylvania. The Kenosha paper con-
strues the vote into an act of treason to 'the de-
mocratic constituency whom Mr.. Durkee was
elected to represent at Washington !" This is
cool, assured!v Mr. Durkee was elected over
the regular democratic" nominee by nearly tara
thousand majority, receiving the votes of Wings
Free-soilers and Independent Democrats. In
this Congress ional District at the late election,
Gov. FARwrLL, (wbig) received some Eighteen
Hundred majority over UPHAM, (dem.J OF
course, Mr. Durkee, il DESTROYS of rejecting the
sentiments of his constituents, did exactly rigbt
in voting for Mr.. Stevens, in preference to Linn
Boyd Mr.. Boyd, the old bunker candidate for
Speaker, is an enemy to River and Harbor In
provements and a friend to British Free Trade.
Mr. Stevens, for whom Mr.. Durkee voted, is a
jealous advocate of Internal Improvements and
of Protection to American Industry. Upon both
these important questions, therefore, Mr.. Ste
vens concurs with, while Mr.. Boyd is opDosed

District And Mr. Durkee, in the vote he gave.
did but justice to that popular sentiment, We
trust that all his votes in Congress will be as ac-
ceptabIe to his constituency as the one which
he cast for Speaker--Ml. Sentinel!

The Despotism Of Austria.-At Vienna, the
Bourse (the Merchants Exchange) remains in
state of seige. Six gendarmes, fully equip
ped, are posted every day at the entrance and
spies in plain clothes throng the interior, and re-
port the acts and observations of merchants and
dealers. The slightest operation calculated to
lower the prices of the funds, or to produce a
more unfavorabIe rate of exchange with foreign
countries Immediately exposes the party to the
danger of having to attend before the military
authorities to prove that he merely executed an
order, and had no intention of specializing, and
any remark that can be construed into an ex-
preston OF dlstrust Is calculated to bring down
at once the penalty of imprisonment or expul-
sion.

MILWAUKEE, Dec. IS, 81.
a Fire broke out in Milwaukee at one O'Clock,
this morning in the Cabinet and Chair Shop of
S. c. Newhall, West Water street. The flames
had made such headway before the alarm was
given, that the building, stock, and furnitu,e,
were all destroyed. All the Firemen could do
was to prevent the spread of the flames, which
they succeeded in doing. There was no insu-
rance, and the property destroyed is an entire
loss to the owner.

Napoleon has issued another proclamation de-
claring his intention to abide the will of the peo
pie.
The iiavrc Chambers had passed resolution
denouncing Napoleon.
At the sailing of the Baltic it was reported
that the Prince De Joinville had gone to Belgi-
um to raise the standard of revolution against
Napoleon. The President has issued a new
manifesto in which he invites the people to vote
freely and declare if the election goes against
him that he will resign However, says the cor
respondent THE London Globe, the indications
are that he will receive very large majority.
Many persons blame him for his decree order
ing the Pantheon to its original designation, viz:
Religious Worship. But the general feeling is
decidedly in his favor.
LISA guarantee that he will uphold religion
and render the Clergy who have great influence
in the rural districts favorable to his reelection

decree will produce good effect for the Presi,
dent, viz: that whenever troops are stationed for
the suppression of Riots they are placed on the
same footing both as to pay and rations, as tho
they were in a regular campaign. This is one
OF the most judicous measures as regards the

gushing in poverty, while dozens to whose sue
cess in business he gave the first impulse, roll
by him in their carriages, and have forgotten his
very existence. There is no country, save ours,
in tho world where journalists are expected to do
so much work for the special benefit of others
without recompence Generally, out of this
country, Editors are inaccessible if not anony-
nous; they may let you know what they think,
but not who thinks it. You cannot walk into an
Editors room in London or Paris, and ask him
to devote his time and his columns to your own
advancement or profit Here this is done every
day, even by utter strangers.
Half an Editors tme-sometimes his whole

the stories and obeying the requests Of one good
natured friend after another, who drops in to try
his chances of getting ten times as valuable an
