Tuesday, Fully II, 1861.

The Democrat thus recounts the good
things done BY this present Congress du-
ring session of some eight months:
Let US tell few of the good things
they have done. The fishery reciproc
ity treaty will give great advantages to
the New England States. 1t Is more
liberal to US we understand than that of
1888.
The Homestead measure if it passes is
measure in which the whole North
West, and we will add in which univer-
sal humanity is interested.
Ten millions seem large sumof mon-
ey, yet the Gadsden Treaty will we think
in the end be found wise and benefi-
cial provision. AT least let US not con-
denim it without good reason; and for
theinstruction Of reason experience is the
the best master.
When we reflect that the fishery treaty
has just been rejected by the Senate, and
tina: the Homestead bill is by no means
likely to pass, and that the merit of the
Gadsden treaty, the only thing which has
been passed, is yet among the may Je's,"
we may conclude that if Congress has not
done much in the way Of good things"
our friend Of the Democrat has done a
"good thing" in recounting its doings-
indeed. has perpetrated one Of the best
jokes of the season. Seriously, we know
not how better idea of the doings of
this Congress can be obtained, than from
this effort of one Gifts friends to recount
them. Read and ponder-Eight months
and the Gadsdcn treaty, for which ten
millions have been paidifrom the Treasu-
ry. This is the sum total Of the good
things.

The Convention of the 18th.

The facilities for travel between this
place and Madison, are such that but a
few hours are required between the two
points. Those designing to attend the
Convention on the 18th, Will leave here
on Wednesday the 18th, by the boat to
Milwaukee, and will reach Madison the
same evening. Probably one day only
will be required at Madison, so they can
return in the boat Of Friday mo rning.
The fare between Milwaukee and Madi-
son has been reduced for the occasion so
it will be but $500, to go and return.
The fare on the lake too, will be reduced
somewhat, though exactly how much we
are not aware. 1t will not. at all events,
exceed one dollar each way. An excel
lent opportunity is offered for all who
wish to see the most beautiful city of the
State-and the beautiful country between
here and there, and who sympathising
with this movement desire at the same
time, to do the State some service by at
tending this Convention.

How vile wretch the one must be,
Who'd rob me of my property,
But siler he who steals my name,
And every way does it defame.
Ny property ! may regain,
But lost name it is in vain.
His soul must be as black as ink,
And will INTO perdition sink.
His tongue is set on fire of He'll,
Whoe'er is stung viii ne'er be well.
His conscience never is at ease
In any place, go where he please.
Twill gnaw upon his mortal frame,
To think he's taken my good name;
By night or day it will torment,
And punish him till he repent.

Or heal this everlasting sore
So spare yourself the future sting,
Which slanderer's sting is sure TO bring.

"Wednesday, July I2, IsS4,

Why does Gerritt Smit'l obtain in Con-
gress that respect and confiderce which
are denied to Hale, and Chase and Gid
dings. 1t is simply because they esteem
him an honest man, who holds his yio-
lent sentiments from religious and moral
convictions. and who has no partisan or
political objects in view.-Democrdt.
If the author of the above was required
to specify a single act in the lives of the
individuals against whom he insinuates
dishonesty, to justify such insinuation he
could not do it, and yet without a parti-
Gle of evidence and with the whole lives
of the men in question giving the lie to
the insinuation. he thus deals it out.
And the fact that these men are not dis
honest, that they are and have proved
themselves at all times, gentlemen in the
highest sense of the word, renders it very
evident that the reason he gives for the
different estimation in which they are
held from Gerritt Smith, by shareholders.
is not the true one. The fact is, Gerritt
Smith from his peculiar idiosyncracieS
has proved himself entirely harmless to
the shareholders, whilst the other men
have dealt the most severe, effective and
staggering blows to the institution OF
slavery; and this, and nothing else Is the
reason. Any person who has looked at
the Congressional debates will find that
just in proportion as man proves him.
self able in opposition to the designs OF
shareholders. so does he encounter their
most foul mouthed abuse.
Lately they have been making a spe-
cial onslaught on elias. Sumner, than
whom no ADLER or more gentlemanly Sen
ator is on the floor and the language
used would disgrace the lowest doggery
in creation. A want of honesty is argued
against men because they cannot secure
the esteem of men and women stealers,
and lnanifcstly by their own language,
the lowest kind of blackguards.
The long article of the Democrat which
has this conclusion, will no doubt have
all the weight it deserves.
