RIGHTS OF ADVERTISERS.

The Free Democrat does not like oar position on
the question of blackstiag Delinquent; subscribers,

We have always supposed shat any person had
legal right TO the columns of public journals
10 advertise ftithIcss debtors if he did il in proper
language, and think so still, Mr.. DcnSmore to the
contrary, notwithstanding.
The newspaper, of necessity, is public thing
and not a prioate concern. 1t is therefore prop
or that it should he used for what is strictly of
public nature. Publishing news, reporting pub
lie lectures advertising for all business which courts
public patronage, is Of this nature, and cannot
rightfully be excluded But that which is of a
private natu:o, the newspaper has no right to ex-
pose.
Suppose mani guest at nay hoasc, and his
entertainment is not OF the best has he right to

not. But if bank OF deposit should take dol

ELECTION .i orr. II .. S;rNaTdR

Some Of the papers Of the State have been for
some time pas: intimating purpose on the part
of the present Legislature to elect United States
Senator. We did not believe it possible for party
to be so reckless, and hence secuted the idea We
are not sure, however, but we have moderated the
enterprise of the Democracy. We perceive Bill
has been introduced into the Assembly by Mr..
Webster, OF Milwaukee, the main feature of which
is, to require the election of o. S. Senator tico
years before the term of the incumbent expires
If this passes, land we are assured In various quar-
tiers that it will of course the duty will devolve
on this body-who, no doubt, will perform it with
alacrity.
Of course there is no reason under Heaven for
this, any more than there is for electing him four
or six years in advance. The next Legislature,
seized with an ambition similar TO that which pos
sesses the present, may 10 elect seren years
in advance, and proceed 10 choose successor to
the one proposed now to be chosen-and every
legislature, if its members possess arihmetcal ca
paclty sufficient to figure accurately, may crafty
that ambition by electing United States Sena-
tor.
remote reference 70 the choice of Senator. If
they do it, it will be bold, ineXeusable usurpaton
of power. 1t will be treating the people with
tempt-and will be an insult TO them. We can
not promise the Democracy, however, that the
people will resent it. We have threatened the
Democratic leaders, repeatedly, with the vengeance
of the people for offences that were surely abund-
antly fragrant to warrant it, but the vengeance did
not come. On the contrary, the people, like that
estimable young lady who had been repeatedly ru-
ined, and was rather pleased with it than other
wise, seem to think more than ever of their lea
ders after these offences. Those who know moth
ing, and those who care for nothing, have united
to form Democratic party, and as they compose
q majority of the whole state, we think these gen
tlemen in power have little to apprehcnd. Go
your lengths, say we ; let your light shine. Tho c
who put you where you are, will tolerate you, of
course; and the few who do not like what you do,
can lump it, and make arrangements to survive it
as best they can.

The Nebraska Bill.

Senator Douglass has so altered his Nebras-
ka bill as to provide for dividing the territory,
and erecting taro territorial governments. The
New York Tribune says (Which is the fact)
that there are scarcely inhabitants enough in
the whole territory for one. We believe there
is no change in his intention to repeal by his
bill the Missouri Compromise, and open the
whole country to slavery.
The main ground upon which this mon
strous proposition is urged upon Congress is,
that such action is required to carry out in
good faith the compromise of 1850. Last Con-
gress a bill for the organization passed the
House, and failed in Senate only for want OF
time. 1t contained no such provision as this
nor did Douglass or any one else happen at
that time to recolleet that the compromise OF
1850 (although fresher then than now requi-
red any provision of this kind. How has his
recollection been logged? Frank Pierce has
assumed the Presidency since then; had he or
his cabinet any thing to do, in enlightening
him? The truth is-this administration and
to put the nation permanently and forever I'M
der the control of the slave power. This move
is to assist in this work and if their power is
sufficient it will be done. No person ever be-
fore heard or understood that the compromis-
es of lS50-affected in any wise the Missouri
compromise-nor did these toadies to the slave
power, themselves think of it, until within a
month or two past. 1t is a pure invention
a cunning devica-to trap these various factions
of the various parties, who have been outvie-
ing each other in proclaiming their devotion
to the compromises of 1850 into support OF
this bill. This is new exaction made OF
doughfacism in the North. We shall not be
surprised to sec it successful; for we think the
depths ofdepravity have not yet been sounded
to which regular politician will dive in devo-
ton TO his party-or in pursuit of his own in
diyidual advancement

Documents IN Foreign Languages.

We are really astoundcd at the reckless use
Of the public funds on the part ofthe Legislature.
We predicted last fall that the success Of the
oh dominant party would be construed into
license on the part of the people to continue the
same extravaganza which has heretofore dis
tinguishcd it. Both Houses have ordered large
quantities of all the documents accompanying
the Governors Message in several languages
and not content with this they have ordered
the same documents from two different offices
in German, for which, of course they must pay
twice. And Senator Hunter one of the De-
mocracy, and one ofthc committee recommen-
ding this extravaganza gives the following rca-
son for it:
In the discussion yesterday in Senate up
on the printing resolutions, Senator Harvey
turned to Senator Hunter, of our city, and
asked him to say frankly, whether there was
any real necessity for the German documents,
or whether it was not merely matter of
democratic patronage for the Banner and
TolkJreumd? To which Mr. Hunter made
answer that it was matter of patronage, and
these two papers had reconcied their differ
ences, and agreed to divide. Then, said Mr..
Harvey, why do you select these two papers,
and neglect all of the other German papers
Mr.. Hunters answer to this was, that the res
olution embraced all who had applied for the
work Surely no comment is necessary.
Here we perceive it unblushingly avowed
that the people are to be taxed to settle diff
culties between German newspaperpublshers
These documents, generally are not of the least
importance to the public. They are simply de-
tails of the business of the departments. No
person reads them in English and no person
wants them in German, and no ersoncontcnds
they do, but a couple Of German publishers
choose to get into quarrel and the Democra-
Icy to appease them open the doors of the peo-
pies treasury to them. We venture the pre-
diction that this kind publishing will cost the
State at this session $4,000; and it is the be-
ginning ola system which if unchecked no man
can predict the end Of.

INDEPENDENT PAPER AT ELKHoRN

On our trip to Madison, we wrote home q letter
from Elkhorn, and in it made mention that the
friends were making efforts to establish an hide
pendent Paper there This has been caught UP
by the Reporter, and half column is devoted to
us and the matter, in which its usual fling at the
hungry family" the attempt to break it down,
refusal to pay to it honest debts with sneers at u.s.
are p, ofuscly developed.
To our brother, the Reporter VIC will simply say
that the reason why the friends are making an eff
fort to establish one, IS because an Independent
Paper is needed at Elkhorn. And by an Independ-
ent Paper, We mean one which will speak out what
its editor feels and thinks--not one which will es-
pouse three different sets Of principles and parties
in twice that many years, and cover all over with
calumny and abuse its early friends and steadfast
supporters, because they became indignant at its
want of true selfrespect and love for truth.
We would say farther that one is needed there
because Il more dull, prosy, and spiritess paper
than the Reporter, we have never seen. 1t is not
brainless, nor devoid of certain degree of ability,
but, in the language of prenoogists, it is awfuly
Lymphatic. There is never an item of news, nor
anything ofany spirit pith in it-nothing but cal
umny and abuse to relieve it from the dead level
of hatulencv.-D.

BANRs-THE cURREyCY 90.

Last winter, as a member of the Assembly, we
introduced in that body bill authorising the pa.
per of our regularly chartered banks TO be receiv-
cd in payment for all public dues. Much to our.
surprise, this proposition, apparently SO rsasona,.
bic and unobjectionable, was voted down, no 81
condescending however, to give reason for thus
disposing of it. This winter, we perceive SINH.
lar proposition introduced into the Senate has met
similar fate. Judge Dunn from La Fayette
Co., seems to have been It's principal oppofietnt,
and if it was by his effort the BODY was influenced
we are sorry for them, for a moro unreasonable
appeal, it has not recently been our fortune to see
II might have done tolerably well fifteen or TWEEN
ty years age, but at this time to nveigh against
all paper as currency, and talk about the bles-
sings and necessity of an exclusive specie eircula-
ticn and currency is to talk against the expert
ence and common sense of every man who has
had dollars worth of business to transact in this
busy world.
Our Constitution was made under peculiar De-
mocratic auspices, and as might be supposed, the
power to make paper currency, was very
fully, indeed we might say feaJay guarded against.
The necessities ofthe case however, SO strong,
that the people with great zeal and animation,
thrust aside and lcapcd over these impedmcnts,
and established and created for themselves banks
and czrTency. No one regrets it--no one expect.
20 regret il, The commencement of our proper
sty dates almost from that period. This paper vi
vifes and animates all our business, is taken by
every person, and is as Undoubted in credit in New
York as here. Indeed this paper is endorsed as
good by the State. The State has in her Treasu.
rerS vaults dollar for dollar for every cent in cir
culation, and yet deliberately refuses to take the
paper in payment Of her own trihing dues Sup
pose have $1,000 in deposit in one Of our Banks
and should draw on it check for $50, and the
Bank should refuse to receive it would it be any
more unreasonable thanthc present conduct of the
State We cannot see wherein
Why, let ask, is not that currency, which is
good enough for the people in their everyday
fransac TONS good enough also for the purposes of
the State. Is there anything peculiarly sacred
about the latter, that requires it to be fed from
golden spoon, while the people feed from wood
en- platter. The very reverse it seems 10 US is the
case. The commercial transactions of the people
have something really sacred about them. The
Woodworking toiler who gets his six shlngs or a
dollar per day, is entitled to have it in the very best
currency; but about half of the moneys of the
State arc paid out where they are not earned, and
to those who do not need them, it strikes us, if
there is to be a discrimination, it should not be
made in favor Of the State.

Observation-Disclosures.

Mr.. Densmore, of the kenosha Ielcgraph who
desgnacs the practice of the Legislature in taking
newspapers at the expense the State swindle,
prevailed upon members of that body to take over
200 copies Of the 1elegraph.-Eree Democrat
Whether this was intended as q personal fling
at us we do not know We trust not, however rs
our intercourse with that paperhas heretofore been,
and we hope will continue to be- of the most pleas
ant friendly character
The Free Democrat, we have noticed has never
said word about this swindle, or any other of
the Legislature, when it had chance to wiring in
for share of the plumber; but outside of this no
paper is more hearty in its dcnunciations than it,
This is a kind of Consistency" we hope not to
initiate.
1t sought and obiaired three times the subscrip
ton at Madison that we did, and will doubtless
get lis pay. VIII it, now, please show what
right the Legislature has to buy the Free Democrat
with the peoples money And will it then show
its own consistency in receiving such pay in its
present position
1t called especial attention to the swindle prac-
tised by the State Treasurer, Secretary and At
torney General, in the operation of the fees receiy
cd from selling School Lands and yet do not
remember of its ever saying a word against any
kind of plumber of which it got share.
We do designate it a SUindle for the Legislature
to buy any newspapers; but if it will squandcr the
peoples money, We will do our best, legi;imately,
to have it as well appropriated as possible; and
we think the circulation of the Telegraph among
Members constituents will at least be better than
the circulation of pcrncious prints
We have said, and do say, that if Members will
refuse to pay for any papers, they most cheer
fully wcleome to ours. We want to talk to them ;
and if they will read our paper when we speak
plainly to them, VIC don't ask pay from the State,
if they will treat all alike. We expect TO be be-
licved in this but fear the Free Democrat will
not be credited with great deal of honesty in its
denunciation of population, if it picks and chooses
its eases as it has done.-D.
