The Author of Uncle Toms Cabin must
now take leave of a wide circle of friends,

lated and cheered her in her work
- The thought of the pleasant family circles

cannot leave them without farewell
In particular, the dear little children who
have followed her story have her warmcst love.
Dear children, you will one day be men and

away with.

The WING Nominees.

The Wing Convention at Baltimore, closed
its labors on Monday night after having nomi-
mated GEN WINFIELD ScoTT, Of New Jersey,
for President, and the Hon. VIM. A. GRAHAM
of North Carolina, for Vice President of the
United States. THERE'S no disputng but these
nominations are excellent, and are the best the
wing party at this time could have made.
GEN. ScoTT is certainly the greatest military
chieftain in the land and if the office of Presi-
dent of the U. S. must be filed by military
man, GIN. SCOTT can fill the position as we'll
as any other man. There is no question but
that he possesses clearness Of head, decision OF
character, and goodness of heart His courage
has never been doubted, and if the Hero of the
Hermitage could be questioned, he would &C
knowledge that his bravery and moral courage
were superior to his own.
Mr.. GRAHAM is North Carolinian, and from
position, (and abilities which are not doubted) will
cement in measure the wing party all over the
Union.
The resolutions of tie Convention appear in
another column.

With this number we commence Vol. Is of
the Telegraph. The Telegraph is the Oldest
established journal in this State 1t is on per-
manent footing Our list of subscribers has
been steadily increasing from the time it was
established. And our circulation is larger than
any weekly paper in this quarter of the State
and affords better facilities for advertising than
any other Journal in this section Of the country.
1t circulates among the established rich farmers
Of Kenosha Walworth and Rock Counties, as
we'll as in the northern counties of Illinois. This
class of inhabitants are the most desirable ofanv
for the prosperity of communicated they are
those whom the business men of a community
will find it for their interest to attract
About the ability with which the Telegrai
is conducted, we are not modest enough to speak.
One thing is certain, we have. not been charged
with an inconsistent course in our politics The
Telegraph always has been-and always will
be while under our control, radically and reli-
ably democratic. We have no occasion to deal
in foggy abstraction or living lies. We mean
to speak the truth positively, unrcservcdly ard
fully on all the subjects we think our readers
wish to have it understood that it echoes our
sense of duty as we understand it, and is the or
gan of no faction or clique.
We welcome our readers to another years
walk together, and we trust that neither party
will regret the incidents of the way.

COMMITTEE, &c.
GentlemcE:-Y favor of yesterday was du-
" received, and did not business prevent, moth
ing would give me more pleasure than to be
present at your ratification meeting tomorrow
evening.
Notwithstanding the warm feelings of the
Democracy of this county were divided some
Whist among several of the distinguished men,
who were before the Baltimore Convention, yet
since the nomination has been made there is bnt
one feeln g, and that is an unanimous approval.
This response does not come alone from those
that have always acted with the Democratic par
ty, but from the main body of the Free Sellers,
who heartily approve the nomination.
The abOlitionists of this county will GO over
to the Wing party, and fraternize with them so
long as tappears their interest to do so.
In conclusion Of may be pc permitted to
speak for it, the Democracy of Kenosha County
sends greeting to the Democracy of Milwaukee
County and holds herself good" for two hun
dred majority for Pierce and King, at the ap-
preaching fall election.
Yours Respectfully,

1.-THE Racine Advocate in commenting up
courses thus upon the eighth resolution, which
pertains to the Fugitive Slave Law, and the agi.
taton of Slavery.
The eighth, we wish our readers to note par
ticularly. We agree that Congress has no night
TO interfere with any domestic institutions in the
states, but the present slave law does do So for it
denies right of trial by jury where a man is
sought TO be taken out of state for an offence
not known in the state, recovering his liberty.
and one that we would not allow any European
state to consider an offence.
We do not agree, however, that the agitation
Of any question Of law is either dangerous to
the welfare OF the country or to the stability of
the Democracy. On the contrary, we believe
that all such agitation must evolve truth, and
that none can fearit except those conscious of er-
ror and fearful that truth will prevail.
The two resolutions pretended TO be corrolla-
ries to this eighth position, are still more anti
democratic. The first declares the slave law
one of the compromise measures, which is false
in itself, for as a compromise measure it was
lost,) declares il to be designed to carry out an
express provision of the constitution, which IS
also false, as the constitution leaves it to the
states, not to the union to arrange the matter.
So this conflicts directly with the first position
OF the platform.
Besides this we would ask how the union has
got along these many years without this law if
1t were an absolute necessity! And we would
ask by what authority party claiming to be
democratic closes the mouths of its members,
in and out of Congress against mere law, car
ried in haste and excitement by doubtful means,
Immediately after being lost in the same b.
