The State Convention.

The time is at hand when the Senate and Assem-
bly, Districts should be moving in the matter of ap
pointing delegates to the Repu blican State Conven-
ton. The fifth of September is the time appointed
for holding the State Convention, and the 25h of Au-
gust is recommended the time for holding the dis
trict Conventions Each assembly district is entitled
TO delegates and each senate district also to
under which arrangement this county will of course
be entitled to six. Whether they shall be appointed
by delegate conventions is TO be determined
The most convenient manner would probably be a
county mass convention at some convenient point
at which the respective assembly conventions could
appoint their delegates, and in joint convention ap
point Senatorial delegates but whether this would be
the better way, are not prepared to say.
The Committees are as follows
County Committees. II. McLelland C. L. Sholes
S. S. Schon, Hiram futile, III. 5. Thorpe.
Eastern AssemGly District illam
Golf, ii. C.. Train j. w. Rhodes.
We can find no record of the names composing the
Western Assembly District Convention. ,l h9
~ meeting of the county Committee is requcs-
ted at this Office at o'clock p. NJ, on Saturday of
next week. august a for consultation If the mem.
bers of the committee residing in the country cannot
attend, will they write their wishes in the matter to
some member of the committee residing here.

1.-THE Observation-Disclosures.

The Elkhorn Independent has an article I'M
der the above heading, in which several papers
and some candidates, on the Republican side,
come in for favorable allusion. After missta-
ting, because misunderstanding we suppose, the
position of the Telegraph, the senior editor gets
the following set up, free gratis, for nothing:
"The editor of the Telegraph too, is looking,
with prospects of success, for a state nomination,
that of Secretary of State, and although he is an
able, true, and honest man, would make supe-
rior officer and the Indedendent would be joyed
to support him, still its opinion in the matter
cannot but be looked upon in connection with
this fact"
The editor of the Telegraph is looking for the
Office alluded TO, in the same sense that he is
looking for the Presidency-expects the latter
just as much as the former, and has made just as
much effort to secure one as the other. He is
not aware of intimasing to any person the least
desire for the nomination alluded to, and certain
ly not lately enough to connect the aspiration in
any respect with the approaching convention.
He trusts his opinion may be looked upon in con-
nection with the facts as they are.

School LAND SALES AT WAUPAccA.-
The organ of the Forty" at Madison, now
that the members of the land -plundering
combination have returned from theirnorth-
crn tour, issues jubilant defiance to all
creation, to prove any delinquency against
its employers. We minated, as have
other papers, that there was iniquity on
foot; and now, SO soon, swift witnesses are
on hand to prove that iniquity has been ac-
complished! 1t is true that considerably
over a hundred persons wentup to attend
the sale of the Waupacca lands. 1t is true
that all save few came back with "ento-
mological specimens in their auricular orr
fees" It is true that the spectators, con-
nected directly and indirectly, openly and
secretly, with the "Barstow and the Bal
ance" plunderers of last year, played the
same game at Waupacca this time that
they did in Brown and Outgamie last year,
.. e. they run the lands at the sale up to a
price far above their value, so as to drive
off all purchasers who were not leagued
with them, and then, al night, forfeited the
lands and entered them at the appraisal
say $l,25 per acre or less. 1t is, true that
one man was compelled to pay nearly &c.
90 per acre for 40 acre tract or not get
it; and it is true that a part Of the purchase
OF another man was stolen from him, and
sold by the state officers to another party
between dark and daylight. The last item
is true, if the confession of one of the for
~ before dozen witnesses, is good evil
dence.
1t is true that we have the names Of the
parties referred to above, with various
items which will appear in good time. The
"Forty" are wise. AS the time approach
es when they must leave the capitol, they
make haste TO get rich out of the crib

attributed the crime and barbarity manifested at
GAINESVILLE For is it not the sum of all villains
les. The germ of every crime humanity can
know. is here involved, and invested with all the
dignity of legislative sanction, the power of a
great nation is employed to crush every heart
and soul of that nation to the same level of crime.
All the elements which make law, and commend
it to the conscience and reason of men in this law
are scorned and trampled on; justice is derided
set aside and injustice elevated to its place, vir
tue is laughed at and spit upon and vice invest
ed with all her dignities. When great crimes
like this are practieed by the nation and careful
ly instilIed into the common mind, how can that
mind help giving birth to the brutalities mani
tested at GAINESVILLE. 1t was the mob at Wash
ington which violating and trampling upon all
law human and divine to make this monstrous
enactment, inspired with new ;impulse
the mob spirit of the land and gave to crime a
new impetus and to criminals new hope. The
club of Deputy Marshal Cotton descending upon
the unoffending and defenceless head of Glover
was the potent influence to inspire the stroke
which felled Maybcrry, and the former was as
much more brutal than the latter, as the crime of
Mayberry excelled that of Glover. Up to the
moment that Mayberry was suspended, his treat
inent and the conduct of his assailants was ex-
actly parallelled by the United States officials,
who in virtue of the fugitive law captured Clio
yer and if they did not complete the parallel by
numbering him, they did it in enough other SIM
lar cases to make the picture more than complete,
Talk of the Glover Rescue melting to crime
There was not man who participated in it, but
was more man from such participation, and
thereafter less capable of crime than before. No;
deeds, generous and virtuous in themselves,
whether in harmony with or in violation of sta
tute law, never incite crime. Crime alone begets
crime, and when our friend next seeks for cause
for the crime under consideration, We earnestly
call his attention to that organized and standing
mob, the fugitive law;-organized for the COM
mission of crime greater and more degrading than
that committed by the GAINESVILLE mob; for it is a
mob which assaults virtue and humanity at every
point, and is powerful in the work of demoraliza-
ton as the influences which back it are potent
Bloodshed and brutality are its legitimate fruits
and let the public conscience, by its continuance,
be dragged to its own vicious level, and whilst
such niobs as that which rescued Glover, and
made and saved human being, will transpire no
more, those in whose track follows murder will
be of too common occurrence to excite remark.

A fairs in Kansas.

The Slavery propagandists have for the present
complete control of the Kansas Legislature, and
their power very much as such men might be expec-
ted to. They commenced by expclling the free soil
members and followed it up by removing the place
of meeting of the legislature to the Pawncc mission,
near the Missouri line AT present bills are pending
to make the Missouri jails the prisons for the confnc-
mcnt OF territorial prisoners impose extra test
oath on immigrants from New England, and to I'M
pose poll tax of dollar on all citnvI,s il.
corners, the payment of which should entlc an indi-
vdual to vote. The people seem to be arousing to
the enormity which is being praciiced, and there is
hope that this session will end the dabolica power
which now controls the territory.

entry by any body .applying-the money paid ON
the first entry being forfeited to government,
with several other decisions by Attorney Gener-
al Gushing, not very pleasant to shose who have

and then sold them at double the sum- We tho't
it strange that applicants for lands under the act
could sell out Immediately, after swearing that
they wanted the lands for their own actual set
tiement and cultivation. 1t is notorious that a
large amount of such lands have already been
conveyed to large landholders, who are re-selling
and giving quit claim deeds only. In case such
lands do revert to government the holders there
OF under quit claim title will lose their lands.

NJ. Dennis Esq, the Controller, who kindly initiated
so far time would permit INTO the mysteries of

necessary to keep the business of the Office square,
and every thing in ship shape order, having pre-
viously had idea that ii sort of snug little
sinecure where the principal and assistants had lit
tie else to do than to draw and spend their regular
salaries. Instead of this however, the services of
two Clerks beside the principal and assistant re-

by any bank in this state besides the counter sign
ing is registered at length in two books when it is

when returned, and TO this added the other bu-
siness necessarily incident little idea may be

~ The Fond du Lac Freeman has the follow
ing sensible remarks in regard to the recent
GAINESVILLE tragedy:
TO enlightened and benevolent minds,
the use of punishment is to deter from the
future commission of crime and make socie
ty safe from the depredations of lawless in
heneous. and dangerous to community as
that of murder it is right to forever cxclude
tie perpetraIor from the right of associa-
ting among men. And we affirm that the
whole object that society has, or can have in
Furnishing murderer is accomplished when
he is safely confined in prison for life
He can murder no more, and all that might
be done to him in the line of hanging would
not benefit society inthe least TWAS from
no fear of the murderer that these lawless
men have committed such an infamous
deed, but they were evidently thirsting for
blood--had murder in their hearts. as vim
dictive, though not as sordid and cold
blooded, as Mayberry himself. We hope
that this transaction will not in the least,
shock the faith Of the people in the civil
zed and safe policy Of the State. A prin-
ciple founded on reason and justice, which
has been tried with eminent success in 9TH
Ell states, should not be abandoned in con-
cession to brutal mob.
