To the Mlecta rs of kerosha County.

At the commencement of the present
political canvass, being not then fully de-
tcrmined as to my course, suffered N.Y.
self to be announced as candidate for
reelection. But previous to the holding
of the first convention | had fully deter
mined not to be a candidate, as several of
my friends here we'll knew. | went to
buttons on the 18th, to make known
there that determination, should there be
any occasion for 50 doing. The action of
that convention rendered any such intcn-
ton unnecessary. Subsequently howev-
er, | learn that Mass Convention at
Jackson's have done me the honor Of
placing my name upon their ticket. Lest
my silence should be taken as an accept
auce Of that nomination. take this oP-
portunity Of stating publicly that | do
not seek a reelection.
In retiring as now propose, from fur
Their public service, cannot refrain from
expressing ny deep serec of the ohhoa-
tioES | am under to the Electors Of this
county for their long continued geucros-
ity toward me. Q. f. Dana.

Anti-Kow Nothing Meeting,

About the middle Of last week, large
and conspicuous hand bills were posted
about town, calling an Anti-Know Moth
ing Meeting at the Court House ON Sat
urday evening. No one knew who was
the author.
Saturday evening came, and the Court
House was jdmmed fill of native and
naturalized American Citizens.
The Meeting was organized by calling
Sheldon Fish to the Chair, and appoint
ing S. Y. Brande Secretary.
1t was asccrtained that Mr.. Ross, a
young Englishmap, but recently among
us. had called the meeting.
He first addressed the meeting at
length, and was followed by MessrS. JOY
Fish, Densmore, Brande, Lowell, and Tier
nay.
Mr.. Ross is young man, evidently OF
good scholastic attainmcnts, and posses
sing luency of speech very rarely equal
led, and scarcely ever surpassed. But
his speech was high wrought declama
ton, addressed to the feelings rather thar
reason, and possessed but little logica
force.
Mr.. Joy made one ofhjS speeches, sucl
as no one else can make. He calls US q
sd liar" whenever we undertake Il
report him, and therefore we will pas:
this over.
Decidedly TIE speech Of the evening
was made by Mr. BnANDE. 1t was !
calm, logical effort, showing the wrong
anti-democracy, and evil tendency of pro
scribing citizens ON account of the place
of their birth
The speakers were all emphatic in thcil
opposition to prescription and deep in
terest was manifested by the listeners.
At a late hour the meeting adjourned
to meet again at some other time whcl
called.-D.

We call the attention of voters to what
follows. The parties are residents Of this
county. and the subject has therefore, in
addition to its general Importance, local
interest. Our readers have heard much
during the past summer of frauds in the
disposition of the School Lands, and have
heard too. perhaps, that SO glaring had
these frauds become, and so oppressive in
their character. that the Grand Jury of
Dane county found it absolutely necessa-
rx to indict the School Land Commission
er5. This correspondence will give a
good idea Of the mode in which the pres
cnt State Administration docs its bust
ness in this respect. Look at it, Mr..
Dana writes to enter pcice of land for
a poor man resident of this county. He
gets reply that the land is already enter
ed. lie hunts up the owner Of the land,
and finds his certificate of entry dated
tlreire deyS after the date he lcaS intor-
med that the land raS already entered
If this was fraud is it not an outrageous
fraud; and if carclessness, is not most
culpable and incxcusablc carelessness
And then read letter No. , e the Land
Officer. What an explanation! What
do you think of it good reader? Sorry
Mr.. Arnold did not get the land ," in
the hurry of business it was overlooked"
&c, &c. How could it have been ov,r-
looked? Mr.. Dana writes for the land,
and is informed that it was already en-
tered. 1t turns out that it lcds not en-
tered, and the Commissioner writes in
excuse that " in the hurry Of business he
overlooked it," Overlooked it-how ?
He did not overlook it all, for he wrote
that it was not subject to entry. We
say he either made a great blunder, or
committed great fraud. Then again the
land was entered in his absence, but if he
had been at home it would have been all
the same, for he had entirely forgotten
the matter" Forgotten what2 Why
that he had written to Mr.. Dana that it
was not open to entry, or that it had been
entered. Had he not the same data be-
fore him when this second man applied
to enter it as he had when the first APP
plied2 To the first man he replied that
it was not subject to entry.-to the sec
ond he issues a certificate without hesi-
tation, and when appealed to says he for
got entirely that he refused the first man.
What is the conclusion from this? Simply
this that lands are Sold at the pleasure
of the commissioners" without the least
regard to law or justice,-or else a sys-
tenn Of most shameless carelessness and
idleness prevails in the Department.
And then read the last letter Of the
Commissioner. Did official corruption
ever manifest itself more impudently and
Shamelessly. BY the Commissioners
own showing, the poor man lost his land
by the Commissioners carelessness. and

to utter anew and with greater emphasis
the protest against both the principles
and the practice of that Institution which
stains SO foully the fair name Of America
Many of US had INDUCED the hope that
among the more thoughtful portion OF
the South, the conviction that Slavery is
wrong in principle and nischievous in
practice, was gaining strength and ener-
gy
But recent events have caused us with
grief and shame to question the. correct
ness of this charitable hope. We are
shocked by the unblushlng advocacy
among Southern men, of Slavery. with all
its evils. as an institution TO be perpetu-
ated: and we blush to think that any of
our rountrymen should even hint at the
de ira leness Of reopening the foreign
slave trade. We earnestly protest against
the propagandiSmeXhibitcd by slave hold
ers at the present day. We regard this
spirit as at war with the spirit and teach
lngs Of the Holy Bible--as at war with
the noble Constitution Of our Country.
with the known principles and hopes of
its founders-and as at war with the die
tates of every unperyertcd heart. We
protest against the cruel and oppressive
requirements laid upon us by the enact
ments Of the general government in re-
gard to the rendition Of fugitive slaves.
and the rnrighteous and uncaIlcd for re-
peal Of the Missouri COMPROMISE Act.
In view Of these facts.

Amendment to the Constitution

Our readers are generally aware that
proposed amendment to the State Con-
stitution is to be voted on at this cleo
ton. The amendment provides for BIZ
ennial every other year, sessions of the
legislature, instead of yearly sessions as
now held. Each voter is abupdantlv
qualified to judge of the necessity or pro-
pretty of this change, and needs no en-
! lightenment from us or any one else.
Our own opinion is that the change will
not be for the better. 1t simply propos-
es to curtail the number of sessions. but
makes flo provision against as much leg
islation and as many sessions as leeisla-
tors or the Governor may choose to de-
sire. We believe every state that ever
tried the biennial principle has abrogated
it, and we persume this state would be
tired Of it after an experiment But per-
haps not. Each voter can judge for HIM
self.
The law requires the ballot to have
written or printed on it.
For (or gainst as the voter chooses)
Amendment to See.

what he will probably have to do as a

Stamping the County,

There was one passage of the proceed
ings of the Convention at Woods, of
which we took no notes. and which we
omitted in our report, because we had
already made the article of great length.
Mr. A. b. jackson claimed to be a
Democrat, and denied the Democracy Of
the Nebraska bin. and declared his will
ingnCss to stump the County on that is
sue. Mr.. Joy accepted his challenge to
stump the County, and it was agreed that
they should go together for that purpose

Something TO be Done.

What follows is copied from the Htdu-
keShG Democrat, democratic paper. and
Is in relation to our cmigrant agency in
New York city. This is one of our De-
mocratic institutions which needs abol-
ishing badly. 1t should never have been
established. It's present head, Fred.
Horn, appointed by Gov. Barstow. has
been spending his time manly during
the summer, in electioncering through
the State, which accounts perhaps for the
condition of the agency in New York.
and furnishes abundant reason why it
should be tolerated no longer. We had
hoped it would not survive the next Le
gislature, and we are sure it viii not,
If the people III clectng members of the
Legislature. express themselves on such
issues.
We Give the fact to the voters Of this
district. They can draw their own in
fercnces. There is a candidate running
for the Assembly who is a special friend
of Barstow &C.. and there is another who
is opposed. If they think such abuses
worth reforming they know how to vote
to accomplish it:
