- Proceedings of important political move
ments among the people, and editorial cores
pohdence from the East, it will BIT seen, is this
week, necessarily, the burthen of our columns.
Our juniors letters from New York will be
found quite interesting.
WING COUNTY CoNvENTIoS.-This body as
semhlcd on Wednesday, and nominated ticket

vote for. Pull off your coats and go it!

ing, brought to their homes in st. Paul, Ben. w.

Their column, it will be seen The Wings of the
Second Council District are to assemble on
Tuesday next, to nominate Il Legislative ticket.
Let there be full attendance, and then no
grumbiing afterwards that the ticket is not the
right kind of a ticket. We have good, substan-
tial men in our party-men of character and
worth Ofsuch let our ticket he composed.
ISADvERrENcE.-Our Wing friends of Wash
ington County will please overlook the omis-
sion of their call for their County Convention,
in last weeks paper. After their hand-bills
were printed early in the week, we placed the
copy in the usual place where as we thought.
it would be sure to find its way into the paper {:
but it accidentally slipped out, some how or
other, together with one or two business adver-
tisements, for which latter omission we caught
irregular blowing up The omission we pre-
sumo, however, is 4 matter of no great moment,
as the primary meetings in Washington came
off before our paper was generally circulated
through that County.
Representative Brunson brings news that
the late communication of the Grand Lodge.
|. s., was regarded as one of the most harmo-
NOUS and interesting assemblages of the great
legislative head of Odd-Fcllowship that has ev-
er convened. Representatives were present
from every State in the Union, and also from
the Territories of Minnesota and Oregon. In
CHANGING over the proceedings, we notice that
considerable sum of money was voted for the
relief of the sufferers by yellow fever at New
Orleans.
MEssEs. PHEsCorr AND NoETu-Wc are au-
thorizcd to state, upon what we cannot but re-
gard as the very best of authority that we are
very much mistaken, if we suppose these gen
tlcmcn will act out at the polls what we ac-
cused them Of intending to do last week We
have 10 doubt that they believe at this time they
will be guilty of no such establishment to the
bchests Of party but King Caucus is such
potent sovereign in the ranks of the so-called
Democracy, that it requires uncommon nerve
to disobcy his mandates. Mr. Prescott, of the
Northwestern Democrat, we have always re-
gardcd as an honest, straight forward, sincere
man, however much mistaken he might be in
his political views; and our allusion to him was
in no wise intended to convey the idea that he
was knowingly decciving his readers in regard
to his course in the present canvass. We only
hope he has not deceived himself
PINE LOGS AND Democracy AGA1y-TLc
palmy days when lumbermen were to revel in
Uncle Sam pine woods, and fell his tall giants
Of the forest, just when and where they pleased
have arrived The oppressive. rascaliy Wings
who, according to the Democrat and Pioneer
one year ago, were the natural enemies of
the hardy lumbcrrcn, are out of power, and
the firm friends of this worthy class arc in
power. But 10 the change is all over the
left" Capt. Estes-a worthy gentleman, by
the way, Of the Old school, the present timber
agent, is among us, with orders from Washing
ton to seize every log he can set eyes upon

of cutting upon Government lands. Meantime
the Government refuses TO have these lands
surveyed and brought into market, so that cur
citizens can purchase them. If Capt. Estes is
able to execute his instructions. the business
will in 4 great measure be broken up We
know he does not feel inclined, individually, to
Cypress the lumbermcn, bat what can he do?
We find the following account of an affair con-
nected with this business in the last Milwaukee,
Sentinel. The Administration appears to be

The LUMBER DIFFICULTY-U. s. MARSHAL, IN
