We are confident from the expression of this
meeting--from conversations with intelligent
men in the streets, and from the vote of the Farm

that ninetenths Of the voters are not only WILLING
but anxious for the passage of the law. And

have stood aloof and cared nothing about the

the cause Of their enormous taxation, and the, are
satisfied that the paupersm from intemperance

REFORMING.

The editor of the Waukeshn Democrat feels
quite grieved to think we set him down among
the old bunker editors o: the State. We should
make very short work in probing this, If we had
access to a file of that par,er for the last Jour
months but as we cannot get at the documents,
we suppose he will admit that old hunkersm is
opposed to the sentiments of the free soil party,
and that will be "defnition' enough for our pres
ent use--we suppose he will also admit tina, that
sheet supported the old bunker nominations for
state officers; and we suppose further, that be
will admit that he expressed himself hostile to
to the course Of the Free Democrat, Racine Ad-
rocate, Elkhorn Star, and our own shetland at
the same time was hand and glove, and in full
communion with all the old bunker papers in the
state, and at the same time took extra pains to
tell the Editor Of the bunker sheet in this place
an avowed, express, and undisguised apologist
for slavery, and bunker of the hunkers, that
he was pink of a fellow, &c we don't pretend
10 give the words not having access to the files
OF the paper, nor do we object to the fa,ernal sym
pathy expressed to our neighbour and should not
alluda to it, but to remind the editor of the Wau-
kesha Democrat tina, birds of feather flock to-
gether.
But perhaps our friend Barron has got us-he
says in one place, Eve challenge him to point
out the time or line when the ''prcsent" editor of
the Democrat has defended, &c. We never have
had the means of knowing which editor it was
who, before Mr.. Baxter left for California, used
to do up the bunker politics of the paper--no do
we know which one II was who so ignoranty
and malicionsly attacked Gerrt Smith. as TO say
that he would never give az much to the poor Of
his own state, as he he'd for the release of Chap
lin from the prison OF Maryland when he had
given to the poor of his own state already more
than $4,000 in land and cash PERHAPS Mr..
Barron means 70 get ont of hole about as biz as
that If he does, we only say we spoke and speak
OF the Democrat as it was conducted through the
fall campaign.
And now if the "present' editor has no sym
Pashy with the old hunkerism which kicked out
OF tie State Convention his darling principle Of
Land Reform. we say let him be admitted to full
communion in the free soil army even though
he went sit blind" a-fore time for the nominees of
that convention, and thus worked for the success
of the pro-savery ticket Of the state And ifh
has now concluded,to advocate human democra-
cy and the democracy that goes for free land,
free speech and freemen-then we welcome the
aid of his pen and his press, and bid him God
speed in the work which shall ennoble and save
the race.

WHAT HUNGARY NEEDS...mATERT-
Al AID.

In the war for Hungarian Independence, Gov
ernoE Kossnth had upon his lists AGO. 900 volun-
teers, and he had less than 10000 muskets to
equip them with. tits supposed that with AGO.
600 more mnskets the Hungarian cause would
have succeeded, notwithstanding the interven-
ton Of Russia and the treason of Gorgey. To-
day there are men enough in Hungary who are
prepared to throw off the shackles of Austrian
tyranny, to fight, and fight successfully too, for
the independence of their country, if they can
only be furnished with the means by which they
can STAY and drive off their invaders. Now to arm
and equip these patriot volunteers, and to trans.
port munitions Of war, and these necessary for
ces will require the sinews of war-and that too
IN such amounts as no local or private contrbu-
tons can supply. 1t is therefore suggested by
kossuth, through his Secretary, in order that
every person who has the disposition end ability
may do something for the furtherance of his
country's freedom, that Associations be formed
in every stn:e, county, town, village and school
district OF the nation, for the purpose of enrol
ling the names of oil who wish g. contribute for
tits purpose. The sum % cents per month for
four months, or one dollar paid down will const-
tute any person member
Every Association will be separately recogn-
zed and the name Of every member published
without delay, and recorded by Gov Kossuth to
be publicly enrolled in the archives &C Hungary,
whenever its freedom and independence shall
have been recovered.
Town and District Societies will be auxiliary
to County Soceues-and individuals who make
the collections, and transmit the funds, are to be
allowed 6 per cent of the funds for their trouble
and time necessarily consumed. An Assoca-
ton Of this nature has already been contempa
ted here, and the committee appointed to draft
the necessary papers, We suppose they will
call meeting soon and present their report. 1t
is hoped thai the friends Of Kossuth and liberal
principles, in all the towns Of the county and
state will take immediate measures to forward
this desirable object.
The advancement Of this carse on the CONT
nenI Of Europe will be sure to react in favor of
constitutional, civil and religious liberty all over
the world The liberal and the good will work
for this end, while the tyrant and the bigot, and
their abettors, will oppose it with their gasping
ISsvFssssh. and their dying throes.

Maine Temperance Law is worthy to be ranked
as great step in human Improvement, with the
