TIE PARK IN THE NORTH WARD.-Snce

bilion OF our friends in the North Ward has been
excited Z little, and they are determined 10 have
their park laid out, leveIled and seeded down, and
set out with shade trees in the coming fall and
in order that this may be done efItctuaIly, and the
burden bear light, it is necessary that aAcidzens

make light work." is the common proverb.-
And since those who laid out that part of the
city were liberal enough to make a donation OF
spot Of ground, the citizens cannot do less than
be willing TO ornament it for their own use.

Il The office seekers, wire pullers and other
important functionaries, endeavored to get up a
little enthusiasm at Milwaukee, last Saturday
night. The editor of the Democrat was present
and gives the following as his impression of the
enthusiasm, &c:
We said that at the opening there was quite a
full audience, but they continually dropped off,
and when the meeting closed the Hall was near
y vacated. A prominent democrat remarked to
US, that the cause of so many leaving was the
warmth of the room. For our own part, we felt
remarkably cool, and, to all appearance, those
around US partook of the same feeling.
There was but little enthusiasm or interest
evinced during the evening, and the occasional
applause seemed to be forced and local.
The whole proceeding was striking illustra-
ton of the force of the cohesive power of pub-
lie plumber" All the movers in this ratification
meeting have personal, pecuniary or political
interest in the election of the nominees. We
have seen bread-and- butter enthusiasm rise 500
per cent higher than this, many time, without
anybody being hurt BY it.

the State in November following by 9,65o.
msjority. In 1850, Reid tried again and
now ran out Gov. Manly by 2,774 Majority
carving an opposition Legislature in with
him.
Now he has the aid of two late Wing
presses opposing Gen. Scott, and one OF
them directly opposing the Wing party
throughout. This is the special organ OF
Mr.. CIingman, who is doing his utmost to
defeat the party to which he owes all he is
and has been, but which refuses to lay him
under further obligation for scat in the
U. S. Senate, whereupon he is doing his
utmost to win it for the party to which
he has always hitherto protested hos
tility. He may give it to them, but
they will take good care not to give it to
hiDl--there is some consolation in that.
But he cannot give them any more than
a transient triumph-before November he
will be thoroughly understood, and the
State will go Whig as ever, by as much as
Clay's but probably less than Harrison
or Taylor's majority.
We shall watch the returns from this
State with deep interest. The Governor

tents increased with every new illegal act
of the roy alist authorities, Matters, at
length, reached such a crisis that in the
autumn of l3i7 and the winter following,
the Committees Of the Swiss party deter
mined to strike q blow, force the Cantonal
Government to resign, and disarm the
royalists. At this crisis the news of the
February revolution in Pari, reached
Neufchatel. Under the impulse of this
event they acted at once. On the Goth of
February, 1913, the flag Of the Swiss par
ty was raised at Lachaux de Fonds and
Locle. and on the 1st of March, the Re-
pubIicans took possession of the City Of
Neufcl atel, without shedding a drop Of
blood. On the 9TH of that month the Pro-
visioral Government proclaimed the abro-
CATION of the vice-royalt the entire re-
nunciation of the principle Of monarchy
in the government of the Canton, and that
Neufchatel should thenceforth be a Re-
public.
Attempts being made sfterward to restore
the Prussian sovereignty, the Government
seized q number of persons, who had pre-
viously held commissions from the King of
Prussia, and imprisoned EN- until the
King formally dismissed them from his ser
vice; thus, by implication at least, recog-
nizing the new order of things. But this
was when the arch deceiver was trembling
for his crown. and playing the hypOcrite
and coward at Berlin.
The people on all sides hailed the Repub-
lie with delight. A Constitution was soon
adopted, ard the Swiss General Govern
ment guaranteed it on this ground that
the King of Prussia had surrendered his
prerogatives to Napoleon, and at the resto-
ration had seized them again, without con-
sultation with the Estates. The General
Government also entered into negotiations
with Frederick William w., for the ac-
Acknowledgement of the independence of the
Canton and its reception into full and ex-
elusive communion with the Confederation {;
but their negotiations came to nothing.
The King is determined to obtain once
more the sovereignty of Neufchatel, and
for reasons above stated, he has the sympa-
thy of the leading powers of Europe. We
presume that he will accomplish his pur-
