CRIMINALS FOE wsyPsN

Sheriff Cosgraye left this city on Wcdncs-
day last, having i'll charge four prisoners for
the State Prison at Waupm. These cuprits
were tried and sentenced ut the late term of
the Circuit Court in this city. Their names
are Alexander Holland, George Smith, Ed
win Brown and Theodore Hansbuscher. The
first two, convicted OF the crime of grand lar
ccny, and sentenced for one year and two
months each the latter two, also convicted
of larceny, and sentenced for two years each.
These are all young men, one of them APP

1t is amentable how soon a young man NAV

liberately sacrifice his character and his eter-

so tar as we have learned anything of their
history, never received good moral or intel
lectual education they were left to follow
the devices of wickelness, and to pursue I'M
restrained, the paths Of iniquity. They heed
ed no kind parental advice-regarded no Sab
baths, and chose to spend their hours in grog-
shops and hadnts of low resort, rather than in
the school-room. Who can tell how many

10 We attended on Monday evening last, a
and elevation of Woman, by Mrs. BAsE. The
lecture was a very excellent TO matter and ve-
ry we'll delivered. Mrs. Banc, according to our
way of thinking, has very correct notions of tina,
vexed question, Woman's rights If we under
stood her, Woman's rights consist in no special
privileges to be conceded by the other sex, but in
general acknowledgment ofhcr right to stand on
an equal footing with the rest Of humanity, that
she may determine her own sphere and carve out
her own position. This cant of the stronger sex,
about keeping woman in her proper sphere is on
" an excuse for tyranny, and would apply just as
well to shutting her up within the four walls of a
prison. knowledge tells us that woman possesses
precisely the same faculties as man; she is not
his worse or BETTER but his other, half necessary TO
make up the full man, the complete humanity, and
she should stand neither behind or before him, but
in all things, at his SIDE from whence she sprung.
And such an acknowledgment of her rights we i'm
agine, instead of working wrong, would be pro-
ductvc only of good to the race. We doubt not
Mrs. Bane's lectures proved beneficial on this
point.
Mrs. Bane is now engaged in delivering course
of lectures to the ladies exclusively on physiology.
The course WAS commenced yesterday afternoon
in the basement room of the Methodist church, and
is FREE TO all females who choose to attend.

az.-Tbe Milwaukee p,pers are filed wit

re- The Milwaukee papers are filled with
the report of the trial of Ann Wheeler. AS
we supposed, the defence rests mainly on a
plea of insanity. From letters read before
the Court it is plain that an improper intima-
cy had existed between the deceased and the
prisoner; and from the testimony it is equal
" plain that the deceased was a very great
scoundrel whose presence the world could
well spare. The prisoner will no doubt re-
ceive a great degree of popular sympathy, the
effect of which upon the verdict can be ina
gined.

10 Our readers will doubtless perusc with plea
the article copied from the New York Tri-
bune, on our outside, with reference to the Hale
Dinner 1t is significant fact, and most gra-
tifying one, that whilst this gathering had in it
many of the ablest and very best men of the Un-
ion, and whilst its aims, and doings will involun-
tarily command the appreciation of nne-tenths of
our people, it would be difficult if not impossible,
to get up similar testimonial in favor of any pro-
mincnt advocate and defender of the fugitive slave
law and compromise measures generally. Even
were the people ready to render such homage, but
few, We apprehend could muster the brass TO ac-
cept it. The hangman's plea, that he is but the
creature of higher power and unbcnding nccessi-
tv, is the only one these fugitive slave law enact
ors and slavery propagandsts attempt, and it
gives them about the same standing in popular af-
lection that the hangman has All these signs en-
courage to hope that the popular heart will rise
clearly above the destructive and degrading inhu-
of slavery, and that the great principle of IL
bcrty will vet be completely yindicated in our land

ES Our government was formed to 5,

Et Our government was formed to Sc
cure, extend and perpetuate the blessings of
liberty, and the union of the states was cnte-
red into the better to carry out this purpose.
Now we suppose that person who knows
any thing, knows that slarery is diametrical-
ly hostile to this purpose, and that just as
slavery spreads and strengthens, so dothe go
yernment and union fail to fulfil the objects
of their establishment. Yet those who OPP
pose the spread of slavery are called the enc
mics of the government and union, while
those who oppose no obstacle to its growth
and spread, and are even willing occasionally
to lend it helping a hand, are considered
emincntly national in their views, and the pc
culiar friends of the government and union.
The government and union are valuable
only as they subserve the purposes of their
creation, and when they fail to do that they
are practically destroyed. Hence the consti-
tuition and union have no greater enemies
than those who seek to make them the shield
and support of chattcl slavery. And not on
" this, but such men are traitors to humani-
ty, enemies to the worlds libery, spontane-
Gus despots-the Haynaus of the race.
AS religion has no more deadly enemies
than those who perpetrate their wickedness
in its name, so liberty has no worse enemies
than those who make it the support and
shield of their TYRANNY ,..

RAIL ROAD ARRANCEMEXr.-Thc ar
rangement which has been perfected by the
directors of the Kenosha and Rock River Rail
Road, with the Southern Wisconsin, and al
so the Rock River Valley Road, will give al
ditional Importance to our western road. II
will greatly benefit the interests Of the South
ern Wisconsin and Valley roads, and wilfur-
niSh to them a short and direct channel OF
communication with the lake shore, on a road
constructed on the same guagc rs theirs. In
deed, the kenosha western road will Ire the
only one within the limits of the State. con-
structed on the six feet guagc, connecting the
interior with Lake Michigan. We repcat It.
therefore, that the arrangement is one Of mu-
tual advantage to all the parties Who have
entered into it.
We believe there Is not a road in the west
that has been commenced under more favor
able auspices, than will be the Southern Wis
consin road. The Importance of the country
through which it passes, its comparatively
immense mineral resources, and large expor-
tations, must render the road one of great
commercial importance. The Rock River
Valley Road, also passes through portion
of the State of vast agricultural resources
which are rapidly being developed. When
this road shall have been completed, and put
in connection with other roads communica-
ting with the Lake, it must do an extensive
business, in carrying forward to an eastern
market, the products of the interior of the
State.
We are gratifed to learn, that all Of the |
parties to the arrangement above referred to,

the New York Tribune to task for its infid e
tendencies. A recent number of the Trib-
une administers just and whitening rebukc
to the Observer, the conclusion of which is as
follows
If infdelity is spreading to-day in this ma
tion, it is a thousand times more, owing to
the preaching of Christianity which defends
such iniquities as Slavery and Slaveholding,
than to every other agency combined. Talk
not to US of the infidelity preached by news
papers, while such corrupting fountains pour
their poisonous waters through thousand
professedly Christian channels. Each num-
Der Of the New York Observer makes more
Infidels and scofers at Christianity than all
the protested preachers of Infdelity in the
country create in year.

Government of the Sandwich Islands have

G~If we believed, as some do that the central
government is the all in all-the supreme voice
and power of this country, we should be forced to
the conviction that republicanism in this land is
dcad,-thc democracy profess a sham, and our
liberty an idle boast. What are the facts! The
article our fourth page, from the National Era,
will give an idea of what our government is, and
if any one will point out any essential difference
in principle betweenit and the government of Lou
is Napoleon shall be glad to put it on record.
We have the substituting of the Judiciary, of the
Legislative authority and of the press and proscrip
ton bordering on persecution, for mere opinions
sake, and know of no dcspotism that docs or
seeks 70 accomplish more. But all this is not its
worst features. The attempt to nationalize Sla-
very and to sectonalizc Liberty, by making devo
ton TO the former the passport TO governmental
favor exhibits an ultraism in ant-rcpublcanism
that can scarcely be parallelled. If man has ey-
or felt generous emotion--llas uttered word for
the oppressed or sought in any manner to strength
en- or extend the principle of genuine liberty and
row seeks favor from the government he feels the
necessity OF promptly repudiating and denying any
such feelings or expressions. 1t is really painful
TO SEQ men, as they have in this section and else
where 70 down into the dust and cover themselves
all with the mire of slavery devotion, to wipe
out and cffcctually destroy the suspicion that CT
tier now or at any time they were animated by
the ordinary impulses of humanity. Yet this is
now the every day history of our land We make
no war upon the institutions of the south-wc de-
sire not TO interfere with them further than gen.
al advocacy of right interfcres with wrong but we
do say, and the common sense of the country will
sustain us, that this special patronage of slavery
by our govcrnment-this persecution of those who !
prefer freedom and refuse to lend the national arm
to uphold slavery, is the very antipodes of democ
racy the very essence of despotism, and the worst
enemy and foe of republicanism.
As we remarked, if we believed the government
to truly represent the hearts of the people in this
matter, we should cease to struggle and call our
experimeutin government failure, but we do not
believe II does. The heart of the people is the
oul OF the government; the government holding
bout the same relation to the people that the hu-
nan body does TO the human soul, and as the hu-
nan body not unfrequently puts on its most hide
us aspect when the soul is being born to higher
