THE FOX RIVER VALLEY ROAD.

In other part of our paper will be found an arti-
Gle from the Chicago Journal in relation to that
part of this road in Illinois, in which it is stated
that its construction from Egn to the state line is
fully provided for. We consider it question
whether after reaching the state line the continual
ton north will be on the Fox River Valley charter
or the Central Road Charter. The latter, itsecms
to US, would naturally be preferred.

Some Of President Pierccs ardent admirers,
probably those who have been successful in get
ting oce) are quite sure he is the man for the next
term. Perhaps so and perhaps not. If it should
SO happen that the hestowal Of Office is the most
important business of the administration, we think
Mr. Pierce won't see another term. Giving office
makes no new friends, but seldom fails for every
Office given, to make half dozen enemies. Al
ready the mutterings of discomfort and dissat-
sfaction heard all over the Union, not perhaps be-
cause there is any good reason for it, but no man
applies for Office without thinking that he is just
the man for the place, and he CONSTITUTES his disap-
pointment into public calamity, and believes pa
riotsm requires opposition his part to the per-
petrators of the outrage This thing oyerwhem-
cd Fillmore. twill overwhelm any President or
administration, where there not some sufficient
" strong couneracting influences or causes to pre-
vent. These counteracting influences are to be
found in the public measures of the administration
There must be questions, or question, sufficient
ly important to engross the attention of the mass
es of the people-to lift the government above this
ground swell of petty disaffections, and make it
the object of the peoples hope, and their confidence
and stay. No such absorbing questions now
before the country, and consequently weakness
"A want of cohesion, seems to pervade the whole
of that great party which made Pierce President
Whether any great questions, either external or
internal will arise during this administration,
mains to be seen and if there does whether the
President will be found in sympathy with the great
popular heart, remains TO be seen. On the whole,
we think Piercc's chance for second term, de-
ponds entirely upon the future, with the probable
tiles decidedly against him.
Dg-The New York Tribune thinks the only ef-
feet of attempting to keep alive the wing party, is
TO keep the old democratic party correspondingly
organized in opposition, when they will do only
mischief; advises the dissolution of the party, so
that its members may be ready for any sensible
move that duty or attraction may suggest. The
Boston Courier, another wing paper, but of We
ry different stamp from the Tribune, advises the
same thing, except that it ntimates the best thing
the wings can do, is TO go in to the support of
Pierce's administration. We shall see what we
shall see.

nyThe following from the National Era, ought
TO- if it does not arrest the serious attention of the
People. The evil alluded to, those even slightly
acquainted with our domestic history, must have
observed, has been frightfully growing for few
years past. Where will it endl If not checked,
we can see but one result the transformation of
our government into a despotismf, in which the
President will be dictator and head. Manifestly
so, because through this appointing power the Pre-
sdent viii attain complete control of the legisla-
tive power: and places in the Legislature will be
sought not to serve the People but the President.
The Era suggests one remedy, but we believe a
more efficient one would be, to reduce, or take
from the President far possible, this appoin-
ting power. 1t must be done, or this increasing
Capitalization of power must destroy the Republic:
The 'soyreigns' stand little chance of the
"spoils" where their servants set up claims.
Senators and Representatives get the best sill
ces nowadays. Davis becomes member
of the Cabinet; Dickinson and Dix are made
Collector and Sub-Treasurer of New York
Sturgeon is appointed Assistant Treasurer of
Philadelphia; Downs Collector Of New Or
leans; Soule, Minister to Spain; Borland Gov
ernor of New Mexico. An ex-senator is spo-
ken of as Minister to the Court of St. James,
and member from Ohio desires to hold the
place of Mr.. Rives at Paris, Dobbin and Me
Clelland, former members of the House, take
their places in the Cabinet; Campbell, Molony,
Inge, German, Peck, Henley, Peaslee, &c.
&c, all late members are favored with fat
I offices We doubt whether this abuse-for
it is an abuse-has ever before been carried
to such an extent. 1t is easy to see how the
pensioning system must lower the tone and
impair the independence of the Federal Leg
islature. The true remedy is, rule that no
member of Congress shall be permitted to
hold office under the Federal Government
during the term for which he is elected, and
for two years thereafter. Such prohibition
would turn his eyes from the Executive to the
People

Eg That the appearance of our city has
been very much improved by the removal of
the sheds, awnings, and other excrescences,
which disfgured Main Street, and the i'm
provements which have followed their reno
val, is probably not questioned or doubted.
But a great many people would have been
better satisfied to have had the work done
decently and in order, and in pursuance of
some statute in such case made and provided
if for nothing else for the sake of " Law and
Order" We trust if any object is hereafter
desired, manifestly an improvement as was
this, some other mode than the one pursued,
will be sought to accomplish it.

INAUGURAL ADDRE SS.

Mayor SHoLEs gave his Inaugural Address
on Monday evening last, before large and
respectable audience of our citizens. The
Inaugural will be found in our paper of to-
day. 1t is one of the most full and complete
exhibits of our financial condition and re-
sources, which has ever heretofore been en-
bodied into any one public document. 1t
abounds in statistical fact and information,
such as are useful to every citizen. The con-
dition of our finances, as exhibited in the ad-
dress of the Mayor, is most gratifying: we
hazard nothing in the remark, that no other
city in the west great or small, can show
such a freedom from debt with balance in
its treasury as the city of Kenosha. We are
pleased to learn that the Council have order
ed fifteen hundred copies of the message to
be printed.

UNCLE TONS CABIN.-This world re-
nowned book, has acquired for its author,
Mrs. Stowe, such respect and attention, as no
other author, man or woman, or even States
men or conqueror, ever received from man
kind. She is invited to England by 100000
names, which on her landing is to be presen-
ted to her in an oaken case. She is to be re-
ceived at Stafford House, which, during her
stay in England is to be her own, by lords,
ladies, and gentlemen of evey honorable class,
and enjoy a triumphal march from Liverpool
to London.
This, to our eye, looks most encouraging. 1t lis
not a tribute to Mrs. Stowe, nor to any peculiar
feature of her book, but spontaneous expression
in favor of the great principle of liberty against
that of despotism And it is encouraging for the
cause of liberty, not in this country particularly,
or any country, but throughout the world.
