PEopLE's STATE Mass CONVENTION
That our readers may know how the cur
rent of popular feeling over in the eastern
counties Of the State is sailing along the
boat, we present the following from the
Berline Coawant, democratic paper
Such as our readers as think we have de-
voted too much of our room to this new
tangled negro issue, will bear in mind that
most other Wisconsin papers publish more
than we do:
There will be convention of those OPP
posed to the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise, the extensions Of slavery, and the
rule of the slave power,at Madison, Thurs
day, July Is. The South, with the as
sistance Of Northern doughfaces and polit-
ical hucksters, have long enough bore al
most ''undisputed away" and thorough
cleansing of the halls of Congress is now
the only resort Of the people of the free
States. 1t may take number of years to
regain our lost ground but it can and will
be done, provided, that the citizens of the
North will act in conformity with the die
tates Of their conscience, and not cowardly
truckle to the mandates of the South and
its Northern hirelings.
Nebraska and Anti Nebraska auiH be
the issue Of our Congressional election in
this district, at least, and he who declares
for Nebraska, will in thundertones be COM
manded to stay at home. There is no use
| in trying to disgust the fact that the Dem
ocratic party must either renounce Pierce,
Douglas q Co., or submit to utter annihi-
lation, and rather than this should be the
case acesshoa!d prefer to see Pierce and
hiscoadjutors bursraedirremedia6iy in their
political graves.
We are well aware that this is strong
talk, but it is not only our sentiments; it
is the sentiment which pervades the minds
Of three tourtts Of the people of our coun-
try, and sce may say, Of The entire State.
Again we say, we hope to hear of gen
eral turn out of the lovers of liberty, and
let our country be well represented.

NT The rainy weather of late has
thrown the mines into state of Temporal
ry suspension or liquidation, and there has
been good deal Of caving. We think
the spring rains are over for the present,
and our diggings will speedily resume dis
counting.
The price of lead has receded trife in
New York. There is no danger of any
standing decline; we should rather beside
upon standing advance within a short
period. Shelters and miners would do
well to read one of the mining journals,
published in New York. The conductors
OF those papers seem to anticipate, with
remarkable accuracy, every luctuation in
demand and price Of lead, copper and 9th
er minerals. The United States Mining
Journal, LYON q H1LLYER, publishers, 112
Pearl St, New York, price $500 year,
is an excellent work of the kind.

Mail ARRANGEMENTS.

Col. Pollock. Of Cassville has the
Mail contract for the route leading from
CassvilIe through to Mineral Point, by
Beetown, Lancaster, New California and
Miffiin at $4,000 a year. Leaves Cass-
vile on Mondays, arrives at the Point on
Tuesdays; thence bask on Wednesday and
Thursday of each week. Col. P. will run
a two-horse carriage we learn for the ac-
commodation of passengers. 1t will be a
profitable route when tbs Mineral Point
Railroad is completed, in course of next
winter.
We do hope the crossings at Platte riv-
er will be put in some sort of crossable or
der.
Our New California subscribers viii
|henceforth receive the HERALD on the day
of publication.
Mr.. M. w. WooD, contractor for the
mail route leading from Galena to Bee
town, by Fairplay, Jamestown, Dickeyville
and Potosi, will run through Lancaster il
order to accommodate passengers. The
contract is for tri-weekly trips, and he in
tends to keep fast horses, good coaches and
whatever of the needful that travellers may
want for comfort.
ELLIOT LIscUM will carry the mail from
Potosi to Muscoda, but we do not know
what arrangements he will provide for pas
|sengers.
We learn the-.Post office at Hurricane
in this County, has been dis continued, by
neglect of P. 0. Department to renew or
ders to send the mail by there. Our Hur
ricane friends had labored long and pa
|tiently to get an Office in their neighbor
hood, and now the loss of it will be The
greater affection.
We shall endeavor to send our package
by hand to the Hurricane every week, anc
and if persons coming up from there t.
Lancaster will call, we think they can ge
our paper as regularly as before-p1ovidee
some one at the Corner will take charge
and deliver the papers.
Henceforth, according to the advertised
mail lettings, all Offices west of Platteville
on the Prairie duChien route, will receiv,
their mail matter two days earlier thai
under the old arrangement--the mail con
nection with the Galena line being perfec
ted, so that mails will leave Galena in tn,
morning and run through to Prairie d,
Chen same day.

A TRUE WIFE.

She is no true wife who sustains not
her husband in the day Of calamity who
is not when the worlds. great frown
makes the heart chill with anguish, his
guardian angel, growing brighter and
more beautiful as misfortunes crowd
along his path. Then is the time for
testing, whether the sweetness Of her
temper beams only with the transient
light, or like the steady glory Of the
morning star, shines just as brightly un-
der the clouds. Has she then smiled
just as charming' Does she say "aflic-
tion cannot touch our purity, and should
not quench our love? Does she try by
happy little inventions to lift from his
sensitive spirit the burden Of thought?
There are wives-nay, there are be-
ings, who, when dark hours come, fall
to repining and upbraiding thus ad-
ding to outside anxiety, the narrowing
scenes Of domestic strife-as if all
the blame in the world would make
one hair white or black, or change the
decree gone immutably forth. Such
know that our darkness is heavens light:
our trials are but steps in the golden
ladder, by which if we rightly ascend,
we may at last gain that eternal light,
bathe forever in its fulness and beauty.
rs thatall? and the gentle face of the
wife beamed with joy. Her husband
had been on the verge Of distraction
all his earthly possessions were gone and
he feared the result Of her knowledge,
she had been 50 tendcrly cared for all

NO MOTHER.

ttShe has no mother!" What vol
umne Of sorrowful truth is comprised in
that single utterance- mother! We
must go far down the hard, rough paths
Of life, and become injured to care and
sorrow in their sternest forms, before we
can take home to our own experience
the dread reality-so mothcr-without
a struggle and tear. But when it is
said ola fair young girl, just passing
from childhood toward the life Of woman
how sad is the stery sumed up in that
one short sentence! Who now shall ad-
minister the needed counsel? who now
shall check the wayward fancies?
who now shall bear with the errors and
failings Of the motherless daughter s'
Deal gently with the child. Let not
the cup Of her sorrow be over-Glled by
the harshness of your bearing, or your
unsympathizing coldness Is she heed
less Of her doing, Is she forgetful Of du-
| ty, Is she careless in her movements:
Remember, oh, remember s'she has no
mother" When her, young companions
are gay and joyous, does she sit sorrow
ing,-Does she pass with languid step
and down-cast eye, when you would
fain witness the gushing overlooking
gladness Of youth Chide her not-for
she is motherless; and the great sorrow
comes down upon her sonl like an IN
cubus. Can you gain her confidence
can YOU win her love' Come then to
the motherless with the boon of your
tenderest care, and by the memory OF
your own mother, already, perhaps, pas
sed away-by the fullness Of your own

that your own child may yet be mother
