Foote, of Mississippi; Ex-senator Atchison, o.
Missouri; Senator Houston, of Texas; Governor

Need we wonder that politician of the small

traitor to Democracy, and fraternize with It's an

Gov. aarstowa speech.

Gov. Barstow, on bis visit to this place
on Monday evening, was welcomed by
Judge Crowford in few appropriate re-
marks, g which his Excellency responded
substantially as follows:
Mr.. Crawford, permit me through you
sir. to tender to the Democracy of Miner
al Point and Iowa county the prof cred
gratitude that and the gentleman that
accompany me, feel for the warm and
cordial welcome that we have received at
their hands

men who are with me are passing through

making friends. am now visiting your
town and section of the State for the pur-
pose Of making friends, and we hope in
passing through this portion of the State
to form your acquaintances
You all know the charges that have
been made against me and against the
party who have placed me in nomination,
and 1 call upon the Democracy to de-

AT this point bang went the big drum
the trumpets gave a grand flourish and
Barstow, with what little balance was
with him, were placed at the head of the
molly crowd and duly escorted to the
Court House.

We learn from the Herald of Freedom Of

1t Governor, and practising lawyer for the
last twenty years, applied for admission into the
District Court of the United States for Kansas
Territory, Judge Lecompte presiding, on Monday
the 7th ult and refused because he ,rould not
take oath to sustain the enactment of the mock
Legislature of Kansas. He answered all the re-
quirements Of the law and received the oath SO
far as swearing to support the Constitution and
laws of the United States were concerned as well
as the Organic Act of the Territory; but when
the additional part was added, the Colonel drop
ped his hand, feeling that he could not "take so

in a similar condition Col L. then asked the ia
vor of appearing in behalf Of McCrea who was
TO be placed on trial for the murder Of Clark as
regular practising attorney in the Supreme

Messrs Randall and Paine.

In consequence of a msunde sta nding of the
time these gentlemen to speak in Lancaster
they were delayed and unable to reach this place
before evening on Saturday. For this reason
they were compelled to dsappoint the citizens of
Dodgeville, and hasten to Madison in order to fui
fiji other appointments.
They spoke In this place Saturday evening
to a large audience, and, if we are not mistaken,
satisfied all who heard them that a change in the
administration of our State officers is absolutely
necessary, if they would save the State from
Bankruptcy.
MIR. Randall spoke for near two hours, in
clear, dspassionate and forcibe manner, pointing
out the ways and means used by Gov Barstow to
defeat all reformatory action the part of the
Legislature, through the veto power and the
pocketing of bills He confined his remarks al>
most entirely to the exhibition of Public Docu-
ments, showing up in clear and concise man.
the wholesale fraud and corruption of .Bar-
stow and the balance in the discharge of the
trust reposed in them by the people. He exhib>
tied facts and proofs in abundance to prove that
Gov Barstow himself is justly chargeabe with
the Lunatic Asylum and School Land swindles,
and we have no doubt the virdict of the people
in November will be in accordance with the
proofs and the facts. Mr. Randall commented
upon the Know Nothing question. and showed
most clearly that the Republican party. at least
cannot justly be charged with affi!ia ting with
that party.
Mr. R. followed by Byron Paine, Esq
whose remarks were principally confined TO the
Slavery question, in which he showed up the
principles ofSquatter Sovereignty, in true lights
Mr. P. disclaimed the abolition sentiments attempt
ed to be attached to him, but took strong groand
in opposition to the slavery extension Nebraska
bill, showing it to be a fayorite measure of the
Pierce administration, and approved by the so
called Democratic Party of Wisconsin.
The speeches of Nessrs Randall and Paine
were listened to with marked attention, by n
large portion of our citizens, whose votes will
count against the Barstow corruption party on
