We are indebted to the Milwaukee Free
Democrat for the article which appears be-
low, taken from the Wisconsin Banner a Ger
man paper published in the city of Miwau-
kec The Germans, it seems are determined
to take bold and determined stand against
any cncroachment on the liquor traffic. This
they certainly have right to do But after
"r.. public announcement Of the manner
which the power of the German vote will
be brought to bear on the election in Noyem-
Der next, will the Democratic State Conven-
ton dare to put temperance men in nomina-
ton! We shall see:
$50 far as we have yet learned, the Ger
man citizens of our State, in Racine, Burling-
ton, Waukesha, Milwaukee, Watertown, Mad
ison, Maysyille, Fond du lac, Oshkosh, Man
itowoc and Sheboygan, have organized them
selves against the Water-Jesuits and
their usurpations.-Ths however, is not suf-
ticient. An organization must be had in ey-
cry single town, containing German popu-
lation in part, of the various counties. They
must form a close phalanx after the manner
Ofthe Temperance men. Moreoverthe Anne
ricans must be convinced Of the power of a
complete union. There is no time to lose
What we do must be done now, or we shall
be too late.
1t will cost effort to be sure, but the exer-
ton will be rewarded with aglorous victory.
We have recently had the opportunity speak
with men. of various parts of the State concer-
ming the probable result of the vote relative to
the liquor question, and the election of men,
bers of the Legislature. There is no doubt
but what the Temperance men will suffer
signal overthrow if proper measures are adj
opted beforehand A commencement has
been made. 1t is still a month before the
Democratic State Convention, and three
months before election day. This will quick
ly fly past and if we do not make use of ev-
cry moment, we shall deserve to have the
loathsolne Water-hypocrtes sit upon the
throne and lord it over u.s."

! LIBERTY OF SPFEcH.-Great excitement
prevails in the city of Baltimore on account
of most singular position which has been
assumed by the Mayor of that city in regard
to the liberty of speech. A blind street
preacher was recently arrested by order of
the Mayor for uttering sentiments which irri-
tated the Catholic population. Upon the ex-
ercise Of this strange authority by the Mayor,
an Indignation meeting was held, attended
| by several thousands of the citizens, at which
resolutions were passed strongly condemning
the conduct OF the Mayor for an unwarranta-
bic abridgement of the freedom of speech
These proceeding have been unhecdcd by his
Honor, and he persists in his determination
to allow no one to speak in public on con-
troversial matters. The following interroga-
tions have been addressed to the Mayor, to
which he has appended his answers:
LIST. Should portion of the citizens of
this city hold public temperance meeting
in any of the market-places, and the speaker
were to use language in the discussion of his
subject which should conflict with the inter
ests of certain class, the liquor dealers, and
riot should ensue, who would yon hold re-
sponsiblc for the riot ! and who would be ar
rested His Honor answered promptly, the
speaker would be held responsible, and he be
arrested.
Cd. Should minister of the gospel preach
IN his own church, and utter sentences dis
tasteful to persons outside, and they, the out
siders, create riot in consequence, who
would be held responsible for the rot? His
Honor answered, tie minister and he aCould
be taken ont Of his pulpit # he ,ssed Language
that sho,ad gre offence 10 any.
Sd. Should minister of the Gospel, in
the discharge of his ministerial functions in
preaching what he believed to be the truth,
use language which should give offence tho
not intended; and persons taking exception
thereto, should create a riot, who would you
hold responsible for the riot His Honor
again answered. the minister

The steamer Northern Indiana, from To-
ledo, reached this port on Tuesday evening
at 10 o'clock, in time for passengers going
east to take the eleven o'clock train on the
Central Railroad The Southern Michigan,
also arrives here in time to connect, and both
boats viii do so regularly hereafter, as they
have for some time heretofore. Passengers
on the Michigan Central boats reached here
in time for the six O'Clock train the next
morning, thus losing seven hours. They
were informed before leaving Chicago, by
the agent at that place, that if they were not
here in season to take the same train that the
passengers by the Northern Indiana did, they
could have their money refunded on reaching
this place. An action is of course, sustaina-
bic if based upon these premises, and it is
presumable that travellers will avail themselves
Of the opportunity. The Michigan Central

they agreed to-Bufalo Express.

3 NEW AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT

Saturday last We witnessed in operation, at the
farm of Harvey Durkec, one of atkins Au;om
atom, or self,raking Reaper and Mower" and SC
far our Judgment goes in such matters, we con
slider it most valuable improvement on all its pre-
dcccssorS i'll the work of reaping and moving,
for while it embraces the best improvements for
cutting the crop it has in addition, the sclfrakcr
which deposits the crop from the machine ready
for the binders hands. All farmers, and indeed
any person who has had any thing to do with these
cutting machines will appreciate the great value
of thi. Improvement. 1t performs the labor of one
man. and that the hardest kind of labor; labor
which requires the best kind of hand, who ALWAYS
commands q higher price per day than hands en-
ploycd at ordinary work. And We are told that
this machine docs not require as much power TO
work it as one of the old machines The one we
saw was worked with one span of horses We
think however, two span will be found more Geo.
nomical for regular service, which will be light
work, and no more shan is employed By machines
doing less service. And about this machine, VIC
think there can be no mistake. If properly made
we see no unusual liability to get out of repair,
and the certainty and regularity with which the
long rake stretches out its and gathers up the
crop, and contracting again, deposits it in bun
die, Is not only curious to behold but impresses at
once the idea that it is all it purports to be and
may be depended on. 1t is proper to add, in con.
necton, what we believe is the fact, that this ma
chine cuts as fast as the old machines.
We take it for granted that this machine will
supersede all others for this purpose in use; to hold
It's place unril some new and better invention shall
push it one side.
We believe this machine was manufactured at
the shop of Joshua Davies, in this city, though
whether he has made any arrangement for supply
ing the demand for them in this section which will
no doubt exist before another harvest, we are not
informed but if he is, no doubt the public will be
informed in due time.

The Waukegan Gazette says that the Lake
Shore Railroad Company have declined the
offer of the right of way on any street, but
have purchased the right of way, five rods in
width through the city The Company
could have saved $4,000 in expense by rum
ming their road on street through the west
ern part of the city, but they choose to build
it under the bluff near the Lake shore.
The people of Waukegan are agitating the
subject of a railroad west to McHenry coun-

A STRANGE FAILING OUT-The Alba
ny Argus, the trading organ of the hunke
party in New York, has at length fallen un
der the great d!spleasurc os the Washington
Union. The Union says:
1.-THE Argus may place itself just as open
ly in opposition to the democratic party by
insisting upon the agitation of the slavery
question and by its Fictitious assaults upon
the Administration and while we shall not
dispute its right to keep up such an agita-
ton, we shall dispute its claims to be recog-
nized as true democrat"
Verify, these areperilous party times when
old friends fall out and berate each other, all
on account of that troublesome fa2itire plank
in the platform.

KENOSHA AND REL0IT Roam

MAP OF THE RoUTE.-A very neatly cx-

the Kenosha and Rock River Railroad, has
been completed under the direction of a. C.
Twining, the Chief Engineer of theroad. The
different surveys of the road, together with
the principal roads, streams, lakes, &c in a
district of country, sixteen miles in width, be-
tween lake Michigan and Rock river are cor
rectly dclineated. The map is a truthful one
and by glance at it the feasibility and in.-
portance of our proposed road, are apparent.

KENOSFTA AND ROCK RIVER RAIL-
ROAD.

We are gratifcd to learn that the right of
way on the different surveyed routes of this
road has very generally been obtained. The
farmers and land owEcrs on the line have
manifested commendablc interest in the
road, and have i'll very many instances Weld
ed the right of way gratuitousIy: indeed
there have been few, if any, cases Of ilhberal-
ity in this respect on the entire route. The
surveys of the road have been mapped out on
a large scale, and every curve, grade, DC, is
infinitely represented. The Chief Engineer
Mr.. Twining is deserving much credit for the
great caro- and eXactitude with which his du-
ties have been discharged The chart rep
resenting the surveys, has been examined by
large number of practical railroad coutrac-
tors, and has been pronounced more full and
complete than any other western road. The
line of the road has been looked over bv ex-
perienced railroad contractors during the past
week, and the company confidently believe
that the contracts may be let ON highly fayo-
rable terms. The work will be let and the
work commenced, we understand, as soon as
few necessary preliminaries can possibly be
perfected. We are assured on reliable an
thority that the road is favorably regarded
by eastern capitalists and that the bonds of
this city will shortly be disposed Of on terms
highly satisfaetory-more SO than was at first
anticipated.

A NEGRO BURNED AT LIE SrAKE-The
Bonneville Observer, Missouri, relates that a
negro about twenty years of age, murdered
Mrs. Rains, of Pettis county, in that State.
The murderer was Immediately taken posses
sion of by the people of the neighborhood
and without the form of legal trial-tied to
a stake and burned. The same paper further
states that it subsequently appeared from cir
cumstances that the owner of the negro,
man by the name of Henry France, nstigated
his slave to the commission of the crime
Thereupon the people of Pettis county called
a public meeting, and passed a resolution or
dering the said Henry France to leave the
county in ten days; assigning among other
reasons the following:
"lst. For aiding and abctting, as we be-
licve, in the murder of Mrs. Elizabeth
Rains"
Now so long as we allow the people of
sIayeholding states to tell their own story, no
one ought to complain. In matters pertain
ing to the wrongs of slavery we always pre-
fer taking statements as We find them in SOU
them papers. Here then is a case where
slave, chatte piece of property under the
control of the master by the laws of the state,
commits horrible crime at the instigaton
of the owner. The slave, for doing the will
of his master, is burned at the stake; the
master, who contriyed and instigated the
crime, is merely ordered to quit the county.
