The Racine 4fdrocdte has an article
with reference 10 the Republican Con
gressional Convention, III T'hich some
person is evidently punched up with ter
ribly sharp sticks. Who Is it? Some
ambitious individual We are left to infer
is writing letters all over the district

light we get on the subject is, that it

ANOTHER BoLrER-David Wilmot. Of
Proviso notoriety, and who supported
Pierce for President has written letter
denouncing the Administration. The fol-
lowing Is an extract from it:
The first blow must be aimed for the
overthrow of the present National Adj
ministration~-thc mere tool and puppet
of the slave power Through the cor
rupting influence Of its patronage upon
the peoples Representatives, freedom has
been betrayed. 1t must be overwhelmed
at every point with ignomlnious defeat
We cannot shorteuitS constitutional term
Of office, but VIC must strike down its al
lies in every state, district and county. it
must have no props in the states upon
which to lean for the support of its mi
QrtouS policy. No man should be elect
ed 10 responsible office-tfovernor Mem
Der of Congress. Representative
relations Of friendship or alliance with
the National Administration are open to
suspicion, We must accept of nothing
in the candidates presented for our sufrd-
res short of undioguiSed hostility to the
Ultra Pro-Slavery power at Washington.
.Anything short Of this is folly, idle tr.tl-
ing, shilly shaliy nonsense and designed
il the end to lead the people step by step
into acquiescence in She policy and plans
of Slavery. Let no candidate pretend to
cendem the recent legislationo Of Congress.
and yet hold himself in party alliance
with the present Administration. He
cannot be trusted. ard so sure as he is
trusted so sure viii The people and their
rights again be betrayed. The man who
viii not face in manly and open resistance
the agressions Of the slave power tO-ddg

casion of future provocation. He is
hopeiessly rotten-unsoun to the core,

The Missouri Compromise.

The Mem York Erening Post does not
want the Missouri Compromise restored
to the Statute Book. 1t thinks we can
do better and we are not sure but it is
right. This is what it says:
We do not believe It polite for the
people OF the free states to restore the
Missouri Compromise, even if ;hey have
it in their power. They can do better.
That compromise was hard bargain for
the free states. While it was on the
statute book we stood by it. 1t has been
broken by She slave party. Let us prof
il by its abrogation. BY their pertidy a
fair advantage has been offered 10 us.
Shall we hesitate to improve it? Not
only Kansas and Nebraska and the other
territory before secured to freedom shall
now he free. bat so also shall every other
state which shall hereafter come into this
Union.
There was All understanding shat fl-
ture States, now composing a part of
Texas, should be admitted as slave States.
This was agreed t. by leading north,
EN- men. Daniel Webster, before he
h ID made up his mind to his fcep and fa-
tai plunge of the seventh of March into
the turbid waters, said that in compliance
with this understanding, he should regard
1t as his duty to vote for the admission
OF other slave States from Texas.
From that obIgy ton, and from all 9th
er obligations to- slavery, except to let
It alone in states where it now exists we
haze been released by the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise,
Now if we insist upon and compel the
restoration of the Missouri Compromise.
do we not glso, by that very act. restore
all the conditions previously existing IA
vorable to slavery Do we desire this -?
We are now placed in a better position
than We have ever before occupied for a
succe .sful opposition to the spread of
Of slavery. and for the extinction of
slavery where it now exists in territories
out of which new states are to be formed.
Let us make the most Of this favorable
position. Instead of pursuing chimeri-
cal schemeS-lnstead Of re-cplstructing
a bad bargain, now annulled by tie faith
lessness of the other party, let US avail
ourselves Of unsolicited advantage which
has been given to us.

TIE Milwaukee Fire

This fire, the main facts of which were

ted in the Livery Stable of S. B. & j.
| Davis, in the rear Of the {. s. Hotel II
spread rapidly over the whole block. and
by , O'Clock, P. NJ, the block was in ruins.
Those Of our citizens who are familiar
with Milwaukee will recognize the local
ity when they recoilect that the L. S.
Hotel was on the southwest corner OF
The block, and Mitchel's Bank building
on the northwest. 1t was the most
densely bull! and valuable portion of the
city. Several buildings were also destroy
ed on the west side Of the street opposite
the burnt block.
Our readers are all familiar with the
character of the weather, and can imagine
what must baye been endured in the la
Dor involved in the efforts :o ssve prop
erty and subdue the fire. The Milwan-
kee Sentinel says, Our fremcn battled
! nobly against :he destroying element,
and but for their exersions, carried on
amidst such heat sometimes that the hose
had to be turned upon themselves to save
them from burning, there would have
been no stop put to the fire until it had
burned half the city"
From Racine. $50 men, with engines
repaired to the scene Of danger and no
doubt rendered efficient aid.
The Sentinel estimates the loss at halls
a million Of dollars, large par: Of which
is uninsured.
From sixteen to twenty large meTcan-
tile establishments Of various kinds were
destroyed, besides great number Of Of
fees Of various kinds.

be hoped will never be again.

and the rumored visit of Generals Brown
and Canrrbert to the Circassian coast
with 5000 men was really to secure n
landing on the Crimea. We believe we
may safely say that, all things considered
the attempt is one of unprecedented mag
nltnde and Importance. 4 naval expe-
dition. conducting near 100000 men sew
eral thousand miles from their home to
a shore strongly fortified against them.
and occupied by hostile population, is
wholly without PARALLEL and new event
in history.
1t, is possible the attack may degcner-
ate into IA blockade. and five only erse-
we're we must ultimately starve out the
garrison Of this proud fortress. But we
hope to report an end Of the affair cong
before 1T comes to that pass, and with
the forces at our disposal there is no
reason why every stone and plank in the
fort should not be at the mercy Of the
allied armies in very few weeks, or
even days.
POPLAR PAPER.-We have been shown
couple of sheets Of paper in the manu-
facture of which Poplar Wood was used
where rags are usually employed. 1t is
not so white but is much stronger than
the common paper in use-indeed. looks
like linen paper, and has about the same
strength.
We know nothing of the process of
manufacture, but if poplar wood can be
used up to make such paper as this-at
anything like living prices TO purchasers,
it is of no small Importance to The world
generally. The extraordinary increase
in the demand for paper has stimulated
research, lately, to find, not substitute
for rags. but something that could lie used
because of the inn disability of getting
rags enough for the purpose. If poplar
wood does not answer something will be
found that will.
