Village of Burlington.

{ We doubt whether any interior
rural village in the state, has grown more
rapidly within year or two, than has
the village Of Burlington in Racine coun-
tv. There is seldom a year passes over
our head without our having occasion to
visit it. but ut our late visit day or two
since, we hardly knew the place, so ra-
Md had been its progress. No village in
the state has a more beautiful location
naturally. and all their improvements
sccm to he inspired by this original fact.
Their Churches are numerous and hand
some, they have one or two wooden fac
tories got up on large and substantial
scale. their stores arc substantially built
well planned and handsomely ornamcn-
ted, and their private houses generally.
cannot be surpassed for beauty and
the taste with which they are ornamcn-
ted and surrounded by shade trees and
shruhhery. There is no handsomer vii
lagc in the state than Burlington, and few
that are improving more rapidly.

Mr.. Dutton keeps public house, for the
entertainment ofallsojourncrs, for whose
wants he caters promptly and efficiently.
He has large and cow ,nient room,
in which are held most Of the public
meetings of the county. And citizens of
the county find themselves well cared for
and waited on.
1t has been dccil led to hold the County
Fairs there.
Many Of our friends object to this, be-
cause Mr.. Dutton sells liquor. While we
regard the traffic with adherence. and as
tie last one we would resort to for
Livelihood, we must do Mr. Dutton the
justice to say that he does not abuse his
license, so far as we know, in the least !;
and his house affords to the people Of the

The Independent in a late number has
an article ON the know nothing party and
its aims. which we conceive has a great
deal more truth in it than any article on
the subject which has come under our
notice. The movement of the know
nothings is viewed in some degree as re-
dictionary, and as intended to rebuke ira
ding politicians-who in their cagerness
to retain power have shown themselves
willing to submit to pricStly dictation in
giving direction to the policy of govern
ment. both state and national. The In

party as intended to rebuke demagogue-

s.N The Democrat is no, well plea

81 The Democrat is not well pleas
ed with the first resolution Of the Re-
publican Comfy Convention at Dutton's.
The resolution is an extract, we believe,
from the Constitution of the United
States, word for word. But the party TO
which the Democr is attached has been
time, and hence it should excite no sur
prise that this resolution is not we'll re-
ceived by that party. But the Democrat
agrees with the Constitution. with a
qualification" 1t can not quite embrace
the pure, unauthorized instrument, but
with qualification will consent to go it.
TO be sure, the qualification is somewhat
important. 1t simply wants where it
says, -@this Constitution is formed 10 es-
tabiish j,tsttcen-that it should be I'M
derstood to mean that justice is to be
established if it is quite convenient and
agreeable all round. If any person or
section OF country, prefers it should es-
tablish injustice, and the Democratic par
ty finds it more convenient to go in for
injustice than justice. why then we must
take the Constitution with that oualifi-
cation. Seriously, we would ask the ed
itor of the Democrat if the Constitution
states as its first object that it is to es-
tablish justice, how the proper sphere
and jurisdiction of the Legislature can be
restricted to any thing short of the es-
Enlistment Of justice; and as he says
the system of Slavery is a system Of in
justice, whether it is not necessarily at
war with the Constitution We should
be quite content to have this principle in
the Constitution. reSt icted in its appi-
cation within the proper sphere of the
legislature of the republic That would
be enough to accomplish all we desire.
and the present agitation of the country
arises from the fact not that Garrisonians
seek to make the legislature of the re-
public apply this principle to the states,
but because the Democratic party make
the laws Of the nation to enact iDjrsticp
instead of justice. If the Democrat will
ust cease its goats wool expeditions. and
take hold practically and help prevent
our national legislature from cnacting
injustice perpetually, there will be no dis
agreement between us.
