You've Men, NEVER DEsPAIR.-Fif,
ty-three years ago, on the 4th of JULY
1900, Daniel Webster. then in his SEN
Tor year in college, delivered an Grafton
at Hanover n. H., which is still presery-
ed, and has been published within the
last year. Mr.. Nation, ofSummeville,
Ohio, who was in college with Mr.. Web
ster, gives the following anecdote, des-
cribed in the Congressional Journal.
4 was in his ROOM said Mr.. NJ, when a
deputation called upon Mr.. W., to ask
him to accept the invitation; but there
seemed an unsurmOuntable obstacle in
the way. He had no clothes suitable to
the dignity of the occasion. Here was
a dilema, but this was removed by a
proposition made by one of the deputa-
ton present, a merchant of the village.
You deliver the Grafton, Mr.. Webster
said he, and viii trust you for a suit
of clothes from the best cloth | have in
my store. Afterwards we will have the
Grafton printed, and will depend upon
the proceeds of the sales for my pay
Mr.. W. turned to me-Jack,' he said,
what will we dog Prepare the Grafton,
said I. The Grafton was prepared, anp
delivered; aud 50 much were the citizens
gratifed, that copy was urgently re-
quested for the publication. From the
sales, the debt due the liberal merchant
was paid and a considerable surplus left
for Mr.. Webster's own use.

Duties Of the Press

Berjah Brown of the Madison Argus
and Senator Cary from Racine appear to
have some misunderstanding with each
other. whercupon Beriah pitches into him
IN the most savage manner, calling him
MI the hard names his vocabulary, 50 rich
in hard names, will warrant. ItIS aFlty
men should have charge cf a public press
who have SO little idea of is true purpo-
ses. Senator Cary has grown 10 a ma
turc age. is doubtless as good as the great
average Of the race, seeaS 10 enjoy the
respect Of his neighbors and friends, and
vet the terms lar, sco,mdNtl, sc, &c. are
unsparingly and unheSitatingiy applied
10 him. and all because himself and Brown
have had trifiing misunderstanding, Is
it really the privilege Of an editor thus to
use his columns? We do not think so?
We think 4 man may differ from us, or
even ofendus, and may differ from Brown,
without necessarily being liar or scoun-
drci. and think also that an editor who
uses his columns as the Sluice-way of his
personal bile has very poor idea of what
they should be used for.

Correspondence Of the Daily Telegraph.

- MADISON. Feb. 10.
very animated debatewas had IN the
Assembly yesterday on the resolutions
offered by DR.. Bartlett, instrueting our
Senator's and Representatives in Congress
upon Douglass Nebraska bill. Some We
ry interesting speeches were made ON the
subject.
Nearly the whole day was spent by the
opposition in sharp practice, trying to
throw it off; An sorts of amendments
were offered and every artifice resorted to
until finally pending an amendment which
the opposition wished to carry, a young
member moved the previous question,
thinking to carry the amendment. not be-
ing aware that the previous question, af-
ter that upon the amendment, would be
upon the original resolutions.
The friends of the measure understood
themselves, and consequently sustained
the previous question. This brought on
the test vote on ordering the resolutions
to be engrossed, which prevailed-Ayes,
Al: Noes, &c. G.

are of the so-called Democrscy.-ED!l

It need not be said that this paper takes
heground that in individual rights, there
should exist no difference in law or the
usages of Society, between men and wo-
men. Woman should be held before the.
law, and before society as having tfIs'
same religious, social, moral, and politicS
al rights and privileges as Man.
But the public mind is not yet prepar-
ed to admit these great t,aths and while
laboring to convince the public of it, pol
icy should dictate that none but women
of unmistakable talent should beencour-
aged to act as leaders in the cause. The
argument of the Conservative is. that wo-
man is inferior intellectually. to man.
that her sphere is peculiar and different
from his !; and when qreak woman an
dertakes to fill a position not usual to
her, position considered to belong ex-
elusiyely to man, she should be at least
equal to the task, or she does herselfand
the cause injury, rather than good.
A Mrs. Fonda, Of Waukegau, has taken
upon herself the task eff lecturing ON Tenn
perance. The papers of aukegan speak
disparagingly Of her efforts. The Madison
JarAdt says her efforts at Madison was
a tame affair, and intimates that it was a
bore. The Free Democrat, kaown to be
ardently on the side of woman, through
good and evil report, which carries lis
good nature and beneyolence SO far as to
publish aseries oftwaddling letters, which
are bore to itself. its compositors, and
reaosS~s says her efforts at Milwaukee
were failures, To the charge Of the Jour
nal Mrs. Fonda Publishes letter in the
Sentinel, which would convince stranger
that the Journal had cause for its re-
marks. And we have heard privately,
many friends of Temperance wish she
would desist from thai kind of labor.
We contend that she has as good
right to lecture as any body but, for the
sake Of the cause Of Woman, we wish she
could be advised to desist.-D.

III Our readers will perhaps rccoi-

her daughter from Slavery, and letter
from the sister to her brother on the sub

our City-whose means, however, are
hardly proportional to his desire to do
good, entrusted us with small amount

Isaac a. Hopper.

Mr.. King has placed or our table the
life Of Isaac T. Hoppe, by Lydia Maria
Child.
We have always, since we became ac-
quainetd with her writings. felt willing to
pronounce anything which bore her name
good in advance of reading it, so sure
were we of its excellency. And we had
accordingly written a commendatory
notice, before reading the book; but we
thought it hardly right, and withheld it.
Having now read it, all we desire to say
is, that it is the Life Of True M0n by a
True Woman. If people want good
books, which will make them better, let
them buy and read this work.
King has it for sale.-D.

In the Assembly ON the 18th
MIR. Hale OF this district introduced
joint resolutions, endorsing the Pierce
Administration as equal to any emergen-
cy, and directing the Governor to forward
a copy of the resolutions cf 40 to our
Congressional delegation, certifying that
the same have not been rescined. The
resolutions Of 10 are directly hostile to
the extension of slavery into territory
now free-the efforts of the Pierce Adj
misistration are to extend Slavery into
such territory. 1t takes comfortable prac-
tiee to enable man to ride two horses
when they are both going the same way,
and we barely hint TO our representative
that this effort to ride two horses going
in directly opposite directions, will strain
him terribly, if it works no more serious
results.

Fast Horses.

A Madison correspondent Of the Green
BAY .1dgocate has the following about
fast horses:
But, talking of fast horses-McIndoe,
the gentlemanly representative from
Portage and Marathon Counties, called
at the door of the house where | live,
setting behind two bright-bay ponies, rs
he calls them, and invited me to take a
seat. | did SO, of course and he said
!" 90" to them, and away we few am
not usually much afraid, or apt to feel
uneasy, because | happen to be behind
fast horses, but it was currently reported
through town that nothing, not epen
any thing lake streak, could be seen,
as is usual with ordinary fast horses,
which induced me to feel AS if | would
like to touch terra ,frmo once more;
and when | did, | drew a long breath
and said thankee sill" and left for home,
to collect my ideas and think the matter
over deliberately. The horses have
since been sold for $1,000; if the price
be any criterion of their value, YOU may
Judge for yourself. Good bye, for the
present: you may hear again from me.

The Excitement at Washington.

Mr.. Greeley, writing from Washing
ton on Monday, says:
"The Nebraska bill kills everything
here in the shape of business before Con-
gress stone dead; and, as things now
stand, so will they remain to the end.
If the bill shall be defeated, something
may hereafter BE- done; but if it be sue
cessful, then adieu to every expectation
of Pacific Railroads, River and Harbor
bills, or anything else. All Congress
will then be up to the war point, and
nothing will 60 through. Fierce dis
sensions will have arisen between the
members, and Washington will howl
again. The excitement is already in
tense, and deepening every hour.

We have looked over this report and
aseertaind the following fact respecting
this institution. u
The Board in November last secured
the assistance of III. n. Hubbell, Esq.
formerly of the Ohio Institution, and the
founder, and for quarter of a century
the principal of it. He was afterwards
compelled to return, and at his sugges-
ton Prof. S. II. Jenkins of the Ohio In
stitute has been engaged as principal
and his wife as matron of the institute at
Delavan. The Institute building is now
nearly completed. 1t of brick, 80 feet
by A, and two stories in heigth. 1t
will accommodate thirty or thirty five
pupils. The trustees say that the insti-
tute will be greatly in want Of further
accommodations before they can be cree
ted. They ask Of the Legislature $4,000
for the erection of the east transverse
wing of the building according to the
plan heretofore adopted-also an appro-
priation of $4,000 for needful furniture,
ont building and supply of water.
Tha number of scholars was increased,
during the past year, from eight to four
teen, and an additional teacher has been
employed There are large number Of
mutes in the State, whom the Trustees
have not vet been able to reach, and if
possible the means in reach of the In
stitution were inadequate. The Board
asks an appropriation of $4,000 for the
support of the School. A short report
from the former Principal, d. Foote,
accompanies the document. Theexpen-
ses of the Institution for the past year
are $4,000.

-. The Receipts of the Milwaukee

DAYS of February 1854 are more than for
the whole month of February 1858. This
shows what Rail Roads do in the way of
developing business and creating wealth.
The only way in estimating the probable
value of Road is to estimate the entire
capabilities OF the country through which
it is designed to pass,
