OJ-The only point made by the party presses
against the independent judiciary ticket, is, that
the Convention was not full which nominated it.
lnasmuch as their own candidates have no mer-
it except what they get from the party and its
convention, this is very natural point for them
to make against us. But they make a mistake ;
our candidates are not put forward on any merit
of the convention which nominated them, nor in
fact that they were nominated at all, but upon
their own intrinsic merits for the place. If they
are the men for the place of what importance is
it whether they were nominated by one man or a
thousand and if they are inefficient, incompe-
tent and are not the men, it will be of little adj
vantage to the people that they were regularly ,
nominated. The effort of this Pierce and King
party in this matter, is just as In every thing else
They GO in for sustaining the party at all haz-
ards. No matter if it gives US judges that will
curse the state; or President that will curse
the nation, the party must be sustained. Now
we submit to the people whether their interest
does not lay in getting men who will make good
laws and administer them honestly, rather than
in sustaining any party to the sacrifice Of their
own best interests.

RGANIzE.-The friends of freedom in all the
new counties, and those in the North and West
should organise, so that there may be a nucleus
to cluster around. No matter if there are
but six men in a township, hold your meet
ings, disseminate the doctrines of the Free De-
mocracy, and the honest men of all parties will
acknowledge their truth, and fall in with the
Platform. New organizations have been form
ed in Grant, Shcboygan and Wnnebago, let the
fire spread.

Health of KenOshn.

While our sister cities, upon the right and
left, are suffering severely, more severely per-
haps than ever before, from the various di seases
of the season, in addition to the devastation of
the cholera, OUT citizens have every reason to be
grateful to an overrulhg providence fer the great
and almost unprecedented degree oGhealth which
now exists. Physicians who have resided with
us eight or ten years, say that they have nevei
seen so universal time of health
The contrast, in this respect, between our
State and the New England States, is astonish-
ing to any one at all accustomed to notice the
extensive mortality which prevails in the latter
States. Dysentery, Summer Complaints and
Bilious and Typhoid fevers, sweep off, indiscrim-
lnately, the young and the old in these states in
the summer and fall weather. and consumption
does its work at wholesale in the winter and
spring.
We repeat that we have as healthy location
as the Sun, in his daily travels, ever looks upon.

IL We would say to the Kenosha Democrat
that we shall wait for more authentic returns
from Vermont than its own figures before coming
to conclusions. We would suggest also that To-
cal elections in the northern states, furnish no
very good test of popular feeling as to matters
involved in the national contest Electing a Co
vernon for Vermont and President Of the Uni
ted States are very different things, as the vote
in November will probably make plain.

1--WE are quite willing to admit that the De-
mocrats parody of our article Of last week,
should not be without force to those who believe
what is said Of Lewis Cass. We consider Cass
just as we do him of the Democrat, as one who
holds every thing subseryient to party, and will
descend to any depths Of degradation at the party
bidding, therefore we hold his advice of little &C
count. Those who esteem him differently, will
probably think differently.

We call the attention of the Miss Nancy
Elites" who are afraid the Free Sellers will de-
Stroy the bible, aud the constitution, and every
thingelse sacred, to the following testimony as
to the character of the men who composed the
Pittsburg convention, given in Faneuil Hall,
Boston, by Hon. Henry Wilson, OF Mass:
That Convention was emphatically a sober
Convention. (Applause.) Stopping iour days
at the largest public house in Pittsburgh, where
liquors were freely sod and where hundreds of
members assembled, saw not one glass of lq-
quor drank by member of the Convention
lApplause) Going and returning, and at Pitts
burgh, | saw not one among the thousands
touch, taste, or handle" the uncIean thing
tAppIause) Had it been Convention OF the
"Sons of Temperance" it could not have been
more distinguished for sobriety. This was in
very marked contrast to the scenes exhibited at
Barnum's, and other hotels, during the recent
Wing Convention, where the friends of at least
one candidate, let liquor shave free course and be
glorihed." (Appause.)

u The nut proposed by the Demosrat for
Lewis to crack, is quite soft shclled one, and
very easily cracked. Lewis stated that under
the fugitive slave law free man or q white man
as we'll as colored man or a slave might be
arrested and sent into bondage and the nut the
Democrat proposes is, that this can't be done be-
cause it involves perjury on the part of some one
and perjury is punishable offence Now the
main point Involved here, and put forward by
Lewis was, that the law held out a great induce
ment for perjury, and offered no means of detec-
ting it. For instance, man in Louisiana can
swear to the identity of man in Wisconsin,
and although the man in Wisconsin can bring
any amount of evidence to convict the Louisiana
man of perjury, the law says ''no, you can't open
your hcad-you have been sworn to-that is
enough-you must go down to the rice or cot
ton plantation-an when you get there away
from means, friends, and home, under the lash of
the overseer, you may prove your freedom and
convict your enemy of perjury-J you can"
This is exactly what the law says, and we ask if
it don't Justify every thing Lewis said of it. And
the case the Democrat cites is against itself, for
whilst it takes the ground practically that people
won't commit perjury, it appears in the very case
it was committed. We would call the attention
of the Democrat to case that actually occurred.
A man in Philadelphia was sworn to and sent to
Maryland, and when he arrived there his reputed
Master refused to receive him because he uas
not the man he had lost, and he was returned.
Now here was case of positive perjury by which
a free man was sent into slavery where he would
have remained to this day had it not been for the
unusual generosity of the reputed master And
that perjury has never been punished, nor has
any effort been made TO punish it. VIII the De-
mccrat crack this nut.
