The Siour I,sdians-A band of this tribe have
lately been hunting through the northern part of
ST Croix and western part Of Polk county. At
Saltwater they boosted that they had killed one
hundred deer a. well as other game. If we are
not mistaken, these Indians have right to hunt
in Wisconsin. They do much injury by their
wholesale destruction of our most valuable game
The driving off of the game, for the band above
spoken of drove away from the localities they
visited all the game they did not kill is enough
of an evil to seriously affect the frontier settlers
who depend upon game for oil their meat-Hud.

The Republican party have more 10 do than
walk unmolested over the course, if they would
wrest from corrupt hands the management of our
State administration. 1t S true large portion of
the Democratic party are heartily sick of the
mismanagement of the present prohigate incum-
bents; they have been taxed to support party
men, until taxation is uncomfortable; and yet such
is the skill of the wire pullers of the party, that
in many instances, their experience in deception
will enable them to deceive the most honest
friends of retrenchment and reform. If the Re-
publican party would succeed let them nominate
men for office who are known to be honest, capa-
bic, and true TO the interests of the people-men
who have other means of support than robbins
the State Treasury of the funds drawn from the
pockets of laboring classes, in the shape OF high
Taxes-men who will administer the State gov
eminent for the best interests of the people rather
than for personal or party aggrandzement-men
in word, in whom The people have confidence
for integrity, honesty and capacity. With such
the State Of Wisconsin may be expected TO pros
per, taxes rendered much more toierable, and the
administration of the government Of the State re
fleet credit upon the freemen of her soil.
III We are sorry TO see the spirit manifested oy
the Galeua Advertiser in noticing the Dubuque
Celebration. We do not believe any good vii
| result to Galena, or any other place, from such
| unfair notices of a rival city The Celebration
was gotten up and carried out in manner highly
credtabe to the Citizens of Dubuque, and no re-
marks dictated by a spirit of jealousy so apparent
as those in the .4drertser will convince the large
company in attendance otherwise. If the citizen:
of Galena fear the spirit of rivalry exhibited BY
their Dubuque neighbors, let them go to work and
earn a reputation of their own, that will be NOR,
