PAINT ROCK

This is the name Of a new town about to be
started by our old friend WIN. H. Morrison in
Alamakee county
The history Of town building in the West
has been such heretofore, that when an enter
prise of this kind is talked of, our Imagination
instinciively carries US back to the first settle
ment of the country, when the laying off and
fulsome putting Of towns, was more a matter Of
speculation with the few, than profit to the
many. But IN bringing to the notice of onr
citizens and the community generally, the cnse
Of Paint Rock, we trust we shall not lay our
selves, or cur friend Morrison liable to The i'm
pu,atnns which were wont Of old to attach to
the shrc,rd makers and dealers in town plats,
painted stakes &c. &c :, Mr. Morrison uniform
industry, hortsty and quiet and unobtrusivc
department. while resident Of this county for
, many years, will certainly protect him in this
quarter from any such nputation and will un-
avoidably fix the public impression upon Pam
ock MS place of some Importance.
Paint Rock is situated on the Missssppi river
eight miles north Of Prairie du Chine. 1t is
one Of the most eligible points for landing in
Aiamakce county and is surrounded by most
fertile country, we'll wa,ered and tinbercd. II
is convenient point for getting INTO the in,eri
or and is some seven miles nearer Fort Akin.
son, than NJ, Grrgors Landing. In the vicin.
ty of the place there is tine water power FL
manufac turing purposes.
Mr. Morrison intends establishing horse
ferry carly in the spring, when people car
readily cross at that point to pass into the intcr
or
the location and advantages of this point will
be apparent 10 all, who visit the place and ex
anime for themselves. Let those who may be
seeking more N rth"rn location than this
give Paint Rock a passing notice.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, jan. IL
A QUESTION.

Upon what issues do the Wings expect to
el,ct President this year, Ifyou say '.bank"
to them, they laugh immediately at your folly;
if you accuse them of high protection, they say
we only for revenue; if you charge them
with Free Soilism, they refer you to the policy
of their President if yon infinite that they
sympathise with Austria, they vocifcrate, long
live Kossuth. Emphatically they are complete
ly bereft Of principles. Their faith is built up
on opposition-o opposition TO the dominant
party. They depend for success upon the acci-
dents of the democratic party. They watch it
with an argus eye and whrneve- they imag inc
make blundcr they cry out Justify demo
cratic corruption, ont ,ei;h The raseals.
But unfortunately for them, they have sung
this song so long, that every child in the coua-
try has become familiar with it. 1t supplan''d
the democratic party in 1e4o and 154o. But
the time for laying aside principles and going il
upon "hard C:der," "Ccon SKINS, sod
Hhisey, and "Bragg's mcta'ie Pills. has
passed. Men must come up to the STANDARD of
principle rat:ona! and well defined principle
principle based upon eternal truth and justice
and embracing all the great interests of the
country and comforting equal benefits upon all
classes of community. Upon such broad and
distinctive platform-a platform founded in
reason, nourished at tie fountain Of Justice,
bounded by the world, and consecrated by the
stern virtues Of eternal truth-the democratic
party expect to assume the reigns of govern
ment in 1858. Mr. Fillmore and his friends can
we'll be spared. They have shown that some
men make better privatcs than officers. Their
prostitution of public patronage, has opened the
heavy eyes of the people and taught them that
a party without principle, have nothing to ad-
minister upon, but the SPOTS of office. Let
them pass away as something which once was.
Give thom quiet retreat on Salt River. Their
epitnphs already written in the frauds per-
petratcd upon the National Treasury, the doom
pronounced against our citizens who went to-
Cuba, the insults offered to our flag by Spanish
and English Naval vessels, and the high handed
disregard Of law by the Mormon Governor of
Utah.
