vacancy from this district, has been respond

Court House on Tuesday evening next, on
the subject of loaning the credit of the coun-

The election takes place on Saturday Of
next week. Both of the gentlemen above

residents of the county; both are we'll known
and no eulogistic remarks of ours could add

FOURTH OF JULY.

Are the citizens of Kenosha satisfied to let
the coming Fourth of July pass, without any
public demonstration in commemoration of
the day? We hope it is not attributable to
a want of patriotism, or of regard to the me-
mory of our honored forefathers, that less in
terest is seemingly manifested in the birth
day of American Independence than in years
gone by That an observance of the day by
noise, unmoaning display and reyelry is now
more generally deemed inappropriate than
formerly, is well. Any other than an intelligent
commemoration of the day, is useless and
mere foolery. We like to see the day OBJ
served in some way which reminds the PEG
pie of the past, and fits them for nobler des-
tiny in the future.

Es~ a strong company has been organ,
lied for the building of rail road from Du.
bubue in Iowa, to the Pacific coast. Several
years will doubtless elapse before this ggan-
tic enterprise will be successfully carried out
nevertheless, it now appears quite probable
that portion of the contemplated road, com
mencing at Dubuque, and running westw ard
will be commenced soon. The settlement
and Importance of the country west of the
Mississippi river demand the building of a
road, and warrant the investment of the ncces-
sary capital. The continuation of the South
ern Wisconsin Road westward of Dubuque,
greatly enhances the importance of the con-
nection Of our Kenosha road with it. AS we
have. before remarked, the geographical posi-
ton of the Southern Wisconsin Road renders
it morally certain that it must eventually be-
come one of the most important thorough
fares of travel in the west. The projected
road west from this city, is the only one now
contemplated to be built on the six feet gage,
which will connect with the Southern Wis
consn and the Lake Shore, within the limits
of this State.

MINERAL PoINT RAIL RoAD-CoUNTY
LoAN.-A special election in the county of
Iowa is to be held on the Goth of June inst,
to vote on the question of loaning the credit
of the county to the Mineral Point Rail Road
Company. The Mineral Point Tribune says
the Rail Road Company propose to receive
from rhe county $4,000 of its bonds, the
principal and interest of which the r. r. Com
pany guarantee to pay; and as security for
such payment propose to issue to the county
their bonds convertible into stock, secured by
a mortgage on the road and its equipments.
BY this arrangement it is expected, the coun-
ty will be secured against any liability, and
the people in no danger of taxation.
The Mineral Point Rail Road is % miles
in length, running from Mineral Point to
Warren, where it will intersect the Chicago
and Galena road. The road was commenced
on the 25th ult., when the ceremony of break
ing ground took place in the presence of some
600 to 500 people.

r. r. NIEAGHER,

This eloquent Irishman has had most I'M
parallelled success since his arrival in this
country in gaining the admiration of the pub
lie, not only as brilliant orator, but as ar
able defender of the cause of civil and reli-
gious liberty. 1t is stated that he designs
visiting the west soon; We hope it is true, be-
cause his influence might do much in ma
king right impressions, and disarming unjust
prejudices. Mr.. Meagher was the uncompro-
missing enemy of religious intolerance and BIZ
gotry in Europe, and was ever on the side of
equal rights and free liberation of opinion
During his recent lectures in New York, he
took strong grounds in favor of our common
school system, and defended it against the
assaults of those who attempt to sever and di-
vide its funds to accommodate particular
religious interest

AN INCIDENT SOMEWHAT AFFECTING
The numberless appliances, implorings and
beseechings of office applicants at Washing
ton after the incoming of the new administra-
ton, probably exceeded any thing of the kind
ever before seen since time began. 1t seems
an incident happened, in which the sympa-
thetic feelings of the President were most Won
derfully wrought upon. The especial object
ofthe Presidents compassion was an old friend
of ours, residing not a very great many
miles from this city. Wecopy the following
from the Cleveland Herald:.
"ELEcTIoNEERING WITH TEARs.-The
recent unparalleled struggle at Washington
has put legion of office seekers to their
trumps, and one, it seems, to his tears, In
fourishing port Of Wisconsin, which for
"short," we shall call Racine, there were three
applicants for the Post Office The petitions
and sympathies of the people were decidedly
with Mr.. s.; but DR.. Chad been the in
cumbent when Polk and $40, were in the
ascendant, and he aspired again.
s. had left Washington when the Dir. ar
rived, and ascertained that the papers had al
ready been made out for his rival, but through
some mistake, had not been sent on. 1t was
Saturday night, and if change was not made
before Monday morning, S-had the office
beyond peradventure. The Doctor sought
and found his friend Gov. Dodge, to whom
he stated the case. On the next morning an
eminent divine was to preach funeral dis
course upon the occasion of the death of the
Presidents son. The plan was arranged, and
just before services began, a man of weight
(817 pounds ayoirdupois) "clad in the sable
habiliments of mourning" paced solemnly up
the aisle, and took his seat in front of the Pre-
sident's pew. With that solemnity of man
ner and meekness of aspect which character
ICES the truly serious and good, the Doctor lis
tened to the sermon, each moment becoming
more wrapped up in it, his handkerchief fire.
quently fluttering to his dewy eyes, until, in
the midst of the eloquent peroration, his feel
ings overpowered him, and he boo-hoo-ed like
a crying school boy-he bowed his head and
wept, and would not be comforted. When
the services closed, Mrs. Pierce was observed
to inquire who was the large gentleman who
was so much effected by the sermon. DR..
Cot Racine" was the reply. why is he
in Washington :" " He is seeking the Post
Office of his city," ISL ra.
Upon further inquiry, it was ascertained
that though the appointment had been made,
the papers had not been sent on. They were
recalled, the name of S--stricken from them,
and on Monday evening the Doctor departed
for Racine, with his commission in his peck
ct We can "phansy the phelinks" of Mr..
S., when he heard the items of the case,
and learned how the Doctor had cried him
self into office. The Doctor has already or
dered seal of Office, upon which is engraved
weeping willow"

LIQCoh LA".-Onc oI the important con-
sderations which will be pressed upon the
Legislature at the present session, will be a
response to the twenty thousand petitioners
for a prohibitory liquor law. If the voice of
the people, legitimately expressed by petition,
is ever entitled to respectful consideration,
then it is demanded on the present occasion !;
for on no other subject has there ever been a
more general expression Of the public will
than upon this. The people demand the pri-
vilege of a fair expression through the ballot
box, whether Wisconsin shall haye prohib-
| tory law or not. TO such a reasonable de-
mand, what valid objection can be made >
If the result Of vote should show it to be
the clearly expressed wishes Of the people,
! that no such law is demanded, then we should
submit to the popular will; for laws not in
accordance with public opinion, however in
trinsicaly righteous, cannot be enforced.
The practical results of laws, suppress
ing the manufacture and traffic, in other
States, enables us to Judge Of the results that
might reasonably be expected here. No I'M
tried experiments are asked for. Maine has
thoroughly tested an anti-liquor law with the
most cheering success. Public opinion in
that State has been growing stronger every
month in favor of its being sustained. In
stead of relaxing any of its stringent provi-
sions, the Legislature of the State, few months
since, added new and still stronger provisions
Massachusetts passed similar law some
fourteen months ago. In the city of Boston,
one of the strong holds Of gum, tie city au-
thorities granted large number of licenses
before the general law came in force, and the
courts held that these licenses having been
granted under sanction of law, before the ge-
neral liquor law of the State went into effect,
they were in the nature of contracts, and val
id as against a law subsequently enacted
This of course, has greatly embarrassed
fair trial of the Massachusetts law Out of
the city of Boston, the law has generally been
enforced with good results. A strong and
determined effort was made, to induce the
Legislature of that State at its late session, to
repeal the law, but it proved entirely unavail-
| ing.
| Vermont has an effective law, similar to
/ that of Milne, which has been ratified by the
popular will of the people. Although 1t has
been in operation but short time, yet the
concurrent testimony is, that there is already
visible diminution of crime, poverty and
wretchedness in the State Michigan, during
the late session Of its State Legislature, passed
a prohibitory law, which is to be submitted
to the people at an election near at hand
Judging from the tone of the press in that
State, the law will be triumphantly sustained
by the people.

Eg The report of DR.. Cox, at the Gene
raj Assembly of the Presbyterian Church at
Buffalo, that man may properly contract
marriage with his own sisters daughter, was
rejected by nearly unanimous vote. The
proposition was condemned as contrary to
the teachings of the Scriptures and incestu-
Gus.
The following resolutions were passed:
RESOLVED, That the first question on the
overture in relation to the marriage of man
with his niece, be answered in the negative
such marriages being evidently contrary to
the teachings of the Scriptures and incestu-
ous-see Leyiticus %, 6, IL and Is verses.
Resolved, That the second question in the
overtures be answered as follows, viz: in the
judgment of this Assembly, such a connec-
ton as is contemplated by the overture, de-
mands the judicial action of the churches,
and'if not repented of should incur church
censure.

LAKE SHORE RAIL RoAD.-A special
meeting of the City Council was held on Tues
day last to hear a proposition of the Lake
Shore Rail Road Company, to loan the city
credit in aid of the construction of the road.
The Company desire the city to issue bonds
to the amount of 100000, for which amount
the Company propose to give security on the
road. The Company propose to give secu.
rity to pay the interest on the bonds as ii
falls due, also to guarantee that the city shall
not be called upon for the principal, or any
part thereof. The Council passed rcsolu-
ton in favor of submitting the proposition OF
the Company to the people.
We apprehend that whatever action the
people may take in the promises, they will
do nothing to leopard or embarass the in
terests of our western road. The people feel
an interest in the Lake Shore enterprise; but
will doubtless be careful not to interfere with
other matters of paramount Importance.

ADvERTIsINe.-The GAINESVILLE Gazette.
after quoting the remarks of the Milwaukee
Free Democrat, in respect to the scanty adj
vertising done by the business men of Keno
sha, speaks of the business advertising of James
vile as follows:
Many of the business men of GAINESVILLE
understand their interests in this respect,
though some have the lesson vet to learn
We do not know a town or city in the State
where traders use the medium of printing
office to extend their business more literally
than here, and nowhere are the results more
evident or satisfactory.
One of the best evidences of the enterprise
and business character of town or village,
may be learned from the advertising columns
of its newspapers. Indeed, We know of no
surer index by which to Judge of the thrift
and business prosperity of village or city
than this Any individual of common OBJ
sefyation in these matters, who takes up a
newspaper published in town which he has
never visited, and the business of which he
has never had any definite information, can
form very correct opinion of its trade and
commercial importance. Strangers, gene
rally, can judge of the business of place by
looking at Its newspaper, quite as we'll as by
gong through its streets and inspecting its
stores and work shops. There is not vii
lage or city throughout the entire West, the
business Importance of which may not be
correctly estimated in this way. If there be
a single exception to this rule of judgment,
we are yet to be informed of it.
Merchants and business men are apt to
suppose that newspaper publishers are infu-
enced BY entirely eltish'considorations in ur-
ging the Importance of advertising. 1t is
true, printers derive an important item of sup
port from advertising patronage; but the be-
nefts which accrue to business men of all class
es are far greater. This is an advertising age
the merchant or the mechanic who desires to
do business, must use the legitimate means
for acquainting the public with the nature of
his business, and the kinds of goods and wares
in which he deals. This is expected of him,
and this he must do, to enter into successful
competition in these times. There may be
individual exceptions of success without these
appliances; but they are rare. Whether the
business men of this city take sufficient pains
to give prominence to the business interests
of the city through the columns of our city
newspapers, is for them to determine; wheth-
er our city compares favorably in this respect
with Others of equal butiness facilities, is also
a matter worthy of consideration.

AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY.

This venerable institution, whose enlarged
purpose is to furnish the Bible to the whole
world, without note or comment has recent
ly created something of sensation on the
other side of the Atlantic, by sending pro
slavery delegate to attend the British and
Foreign Bible Society in London. 1t APP
pears the managers of American Bible So
ciety commissioned the Rev. S. J. Prime one
of the editors of the New York Observer, as
such delegate. The character of the New
York Observer, as professedly religious pa
per, and yet an apologist for the institu-
ton of American slavery, seems to be well
known in Great Britain; for as soon as it was
known that the Rev. reyiler of Mrs. Stowe
was deputed to appear ON the anniversary
platform in London, feeling of Indignation
pervaded the religious public, and earnest re-
monstrances were sent up against the recog-
milton of such an American delegate. The
committee of arrangements decided not to re-
ceiye the credentials of Mr.. Prime, and he
learning of their action and being made ac-
quainted of the excited feeling, very prudent
ly kept away.
The moral of all this is, that the time has
gone by when pro-slavery American min
ister can be recognized and fellowshipped as
christian by religious bodies of any denom-
ination across the Atlantic Castle Garden
preachers and Union saving divines, may dis
course as eloquently and learnedly as they
please, they cannot change the tide of moral
sentiment; the gulf between religious SYM
pathies in this respect is continually widen
ing and is destined to part the hands of fell
lowship as effectually as between Heaven and
Hades.
