ANY Territorial lawS

its final passage. Any Territorial law II
open to revision, rejection Or sanction by
Congress. &
In all human probability however Con
gress and the Executive branch Of the Go
vernrnent, as at present constituted, would
interfere to defeat this law of freedom IN
Kanzas. The Senate and Executive pow
ers. would certainly do SO. We will sup
pose however the law is approved in both
Houses. The President vetoes it and the
law IS at an end, because two-th.rl vet
in both Houses to approve of the extension
Of freedom is SO hopeless as to amount te
an impossibility.
Suppose however that Congress don't
interfere. What then?
The bill becomes law so far as Legis
lation is concerned; James holds a jubilee
at the sncccss of freedom and all hell gets
into an uproar because slavery is defeated
"Good" says the Free Soiler, and Cd
the Abolitionists" say the Democracy. Fl
nally, what?
Why, the question of freedom or slave.
ry comes up on some appeal case, before
the new Maryland Judge who has just been
appointed by Pierce, and who is now on
bis way to Kanzas with 20 niggers, all
slaves and worth some $4,000! That
such Judge should decide for freedom is
just as probable as that doggery would
60 for a Prohibitory Liquor Law. This
Judge decides the law unconstitutional be-
cause Congress has no right to interfere
no right to Legislate upon the subject Of
slavery. At one dash he yetoes National
as we'll as squatter sovereignty! James
CONES to the end of his row; hell sits in
jubilee, and myers rise ten per cent.
1t is probable moreover, that, the first
Territorial Legislature of Kanzas will de-
fine the conditions of suffrage within its
narrowest limits. They will be compelled
under Section 5 of the Kanzas- Nebraska
act to exact of every adopted citizen an
oath Of acquiescence in the Fugitive Slave
Law. He swears to approve and enforce
all its requirements. If he refuses to take
the oath he cannot vote Or hold office. A
merican-born citizens are not so sworn.-
Why the differences Why introduce this
new test in kanzas and Nebraska; and
why not require the same test-oath of citi-
zens born in Amelica' Is the Admins
tration party afraid Of squatter sovereign
tv, that acme have to be sworn to the sup
port Of slavery before they can be trusted
t. vote: How inconsistent for such a par
ty to call on adopted citizens to stand by
the Democracy, their only friends
The Kanzas-Nebraska act was approved
and sanctioned as part of the Democrat
ic faith at Mineral Point, and Hog and
tie Balance are appointed to stand or fall
upon it We care not who repudiates
that platform, so long as he adheres to the
name and votes the HoYT ticket or any
part Of it, his vote goes to swell the slave
extending current!

: Watchman, What of the Night!
i These are revolutionary times in poll
ties; we early espoused the principles o
the revolution, and whether it ends in glo
ry or disgrace we intend to help fight j
out. We are aware that defeat IS Treason
as well as that success IS patriotism in pc
litical as well as in tfghtistical revolutions.
Had our Revolutionary fathers been whip
ped by Britain, they'd been hung for trea
son; as it was they are political saints O
earth and we glory in their spunk to this
day. Well, what is the state of the wa
on this day before our Wisconsin elections
i We are tolerably organized and the
principles Of our party are plain and clea1
to the commonest understanding; they
my be given in few words: no further
extension of human Slavery; no more sub
m ssion to encroachments of the slave pow
er against freedom and free labor; no fur
ther submission to what is plain self-evi-
dent wrong to the free States; no more
compromises, no more elevation of Dough.
faces to office and a speedy return to the
early principles of the Government al
of which means Government for the bene-
tit and extension of white men and liberty
and not for the benefit of oyerseers and
myers. We make no war upon slavery
in the States, but in the Territories which
belong to all the people, and which Con-
gress must and shall devote to freedom
To these doctrines our candidates are al
pledged. This is the sqaattey sovereignty
of Republicans: that the Territories are
the minor children of the family and must
submit to the powers that be, or be chasti.
sed. We say moreover, these children
shan't own ntggers to keep them in idle
ness and vice.
Upon these issues Iowa was first in the
field; then Vermont, Maine, Ohio, India
ma and Pennsylvania. None of them sur
rendered; all stood their ground; each won
a victory. On Tuesday next, the youth
full but vigorous Republican party of Wis
consin are to enter the field. The sober
thinking and reading public are with us
and their influence. Our County Candi
dates are among the best qualified men il
the County, and as orderly citizens and
Of known integrity they will compare with
i any set Of candidates ever presented ii
Grant County.
We expect most Of the saloons will b.
chartered against us, but their influence is
fixed and can only effect so far and no far
ther. We are aware that some of our sa
looms are kept by men too high-mindee
and honorable in principle to sell their in
fluence and make their liquor free on the
day Of election to voters, for few dollars
paid as charter and spike fees, by candi
dates. Many will do ii however, and there

Commemorative late News from the
Copper Mines, in the Ontonagon district,
is OF the most gratifying character to those
interested. The developments at the Me-
braska Mine are wonderful. In sinking q
shaft, they struck "a mass of copper near
the surface, eight feet in height and ten
feet IN width. At the Evergreen Bluff
Mine, which is situated on the same bluff,
they have just taken out a mass of seven
or eight hundred pounds; and it is the pre-
vailing opinion there, that the whole range
of the Evergreen Bluffs, will be found to
contain similar boulders of copper through
out.

the Court House was filled, and those who

speaker, full of the spirit of freedom, and is
earnest in the unadorned eloquence of an
honest man. He defined his positions
with great clearness; he stands fully on
the Madison platform, is a Republican, and
warm advocate of reform. He was hear
lilly cheered, and has fully sustained our
delegation in choosing him for our eandi-
date for office, and all our republicans are
Justly proud of him. We haze got the
right man, on the course, and now let old
