Whatever arrangement may be made for
the celebration of the coming fourth of July,
we hope will be in correspondence with the
interests ard the demands of the age. Eve
nv concentrated effort and movement, should
aim to elevate the human mind and fit it for
nobler activities This is emphatically an age
of action; the demands upon the moral and
intellectual energies Of every man true to his
country and to his race, come with increasing
obligation. Thetide ofinfluences and opinions
roll on. telling upon the destinies of indiyid-
uals, communities and the nation. To puri-
fly these influences and to enlighten public
opinion, is the mission Of every true patriot
The best men among the fathers of our coun-
try have declared that intelligence, virtue and
sound morality, are essential to the happi-
ness ola people, and the prosperity of the Re
public. If, then, we would render our coun-
try service-if we would strengthen and
perpetuate the blessings of civil and religious
liberty, let us heed the advice of our Wash
ington, and regard the admonitions of our
country's vlrtuous fore-fathers The Fourth
of July may be made the occasion for eleva-
ting the public mind and diffusing the noble
principles of freedom and humanity; or it
may conduce to lower the standard of pub
lie morality and debase the intellect In this
age of general movement, there is no time to
lose, orhuman effort spare for present sense
less qualification; the future has imrerious
demands upon the present.

The Gazetteer of wisconsin.

This work, by DR.. J. w. HUNT of Madi-
son, is out of press, and will soon be ready
for sale in different parts of the State We
have have had an opportunity of examining
it, and find it to be what it purports, a COM
plete Gazetteer of the State. About every
important fact, with reference to every place
in the State may here be found, arranged al
phabetically in the most convenient form pos
sible. With it any person can find out in a
moment any thing and every thing he may
require or desire, with reference to any loca
lily, both as to whereabouts and character,
just as well as if he had travelled the State
over for the information. We consider it
quite as necessary in every family as news
paper or an almanac. Doubtless it will soon
be for sale at different places.

on the 18th of July next Professor George
Z. Day, of Lane Seminary, Ohio, will give

of an interesting character. A day may be
spent very agreeably at Beloit during COM

together from the surrounding country, an
intellectual assemblage, and affords good OPP
portunity for the exchange of greetings and
salutations between those residing distant
from each other, yet actuated by like sympa>

trial interests of the county ought to be en-
couraged and regarded of the first impor-
lance.

Temperance Triumph in Michigan.

The people of the State of Michigan voted
on the adoption of liquor law, similar to the
Maine Law, on Monday, the goth inst. The
returns, so far as received, have exceeded the
expectations of the friends of the law. The
majority in the State will not be less than
10000. Michigan has nobly resolved to rid
itself from the burdens of criminal and
pauper taxation, by removing the fruitful
causes.

In this last half of the nineteenth century.

In this last half of the nineteenth century,
resort to war between civilized nations, for
the purpose Of settling national difficulties is
unnecessary and unjustiiable. War is con-
trary to the moral sentiment of the age-re-
pugnant to an enlightened Christianity, and
universally regarded as a calamity to be avoid
ed if possible, as much as that of pestilence
or famine. 1t is time the civilized world dis
pensed with barbarisms and resorts to violence,
to adjust differences of opinions and interests.
Tribunals for the peaceable settlement of ma
tional disputes are practicable; nations ouly
need to be Invested of false notions of honor,
and their just rights can be secured and main
tanned in better way than by the dread al
tentative of war. War was once regarded a
stern necessity, and the only alternative for
retrieving national wrongs; but now times
have changed; the world has become more
enlightened; it is being understood that the
nations are great brotherhood, sustaining
the same moral relations to each other as in
dividuals-tnat they are bound by like OBJ
legation, to arrange their differences in an am
icable and peaceable way, without resort to
violence and bloodshed.

poets of the times present some rather inter
esting phases. The distribution of govern
ment patronage by President Pierce, has not
only failed to satisfy but has led to open re-
bellion in the party in some quarters. TWAS
believed generally, that Mr.. Pierce, on com
ing into power, would bestow office chiefly
if not wholly, upon those whose political life
had been in an undertaking line, with the
Baltimore landmarks. These expectations
have been entirely disappointed. 1t seems
that the chief political test required by the
President, is the satisfactory evidence that the
candidate for office supported his election last
administration further back than this, the
record is not asked for.
The appointment Of barnburners, freesoil-
ers, Van Buren, men, and those who have ne
yer expressed acquiescence in the compromise
measures, to many of the most important Of
fees, gives evidence of the Presidents posi-
ton in this respect This attitude of the
President has not only produced murmurings
in various parts of the country, but open and
out-spoken denunciations.
In New Hampshire, his native State, an
attempt was lately made in a State Democrat
ic Convention, to cast censure upon his admin
istration for the manner in which he has dis
pensed his official favors. Recently, in the
State of New York, member of the legis-
lature now in session, made furious attack
upon Pierce and his cabinet for giving Off
ces to barnburners and the known adhe-
rents of Van Buren,. The Albany Argus,
the leading bunker organ in the State, en-
dorses the speech by saying /" 1t will be read
with avidity from beginning to end, by all
who can appreciate truth boldly spoken
Numberlass Instances equally pertinent might
be named, to show the discomfort and ill feel
ing which pervades the country for the rea-
sors before named. What the ultimate re
suit of ali this will be, remains to be seen.-
We commend the President for the line of
policy he has pursued in the distribution of
the public offices, provided it shall turn out
that he has been governed in his action by a
desire to promote the best interests of the
country, and not to advance his personal ends
or crafty ambitious aspirations.
