~ There is any amount of laudation bestow-
ed on Henry Wilson and his colleagues who Sc
ceded from the National X. n. Convention for
the stand they took and maintained ON that oc-
casion. This is all very WE'LL but why does not
some one furnish some plausible reason or excuse
for their being present at all at such conven-
ton. To us it looks very much like lauding men
for Indignantly refusing to steal Turkeys because
their mission was only to steal Chickens.

But will the Telegraph please tell the differ

pendent did the same thing for Governor that the
Telegraph has done for Attorney, and the Tele-
graph in reply thought it matter that should be
left to the State Convention !''-Eikhorn Ind
Either the Telegraph failed to say what it
meant in the article alluded to, or else the hide
dependent misunderstoodit 1t intended to make
no objection to papers bringing forward whom
they pleased for what offices they pleased The
objection was to papers prescribing test of faith
adherence to which was necessary to qualify a

it was suggested should be left to the convention

THE WISCONSIN FARMER.-The July

this capital Agricultural Journal is on table.
1t contains much to interest the farmer and hor.
culturist, and valuable information that they CAT,
obtain from no otherjournal. We presume there
is not a farmer in the State, who has not found
from experience, that farming in Wisconsin is
different in several points and features, from the
same occupation in most states east of us. The
SOIL the Climate, the products, are all different,
and demand different culture, different seed and
different management generally, so that an east
ern agricultural journal is, practically, of little
benefit to Wisconsin farmer. This Journal is
calculated for this section of the country and is
based upon the experience of farmers on our own
prairies. 1t is published monthly at Madison
Wis, by MARK MILLER, at only 50 cents year.

"a LITTLE LEARNING IS A DANGEROUS
THISG.-Then make it greater. No learning
at all is surely the most dangerous thing in
the world and it is unfortunate that, in this
country at least, it is danger which cannot
possibly exist. After all learning is acquired
knowledge, and nothing else. A man who
can read his Bibles has little learning, n
man who can only plough or dig, has less,
man who can only break stones on the road,
less still, but he has some. The savages in
one of the Islands in South Sea, stood with
great reverence round n sailor who had light
ed a fire to boil some water in n saucepan
but soon as the water began to boil, they ran
away in mn agony of terror. Compared with
the savages, there is no boy in Europe, at the
age of ten years who may not be called learn
ed. He has acquired certain quantity of
practical knowledge in physics; and, as this
knowledge is more than instinct it is learn
which differs in degree only from that which
enables chemist to seperate the simple met
ais from soda or potash.

Thus, my friends, in the neighborhood Of

quired the first elements Of learning, at one
of those public schools which are the glory
and strength of New England, | have spo-
ken to you imporlectly of the appropriate,
topics of the day. Retired from public life
without the expectation or the wish to re-
turn TO it, but the contrary-gratefu for the
numerous marks of public confidence which
| have received, and which feel to be be-
yond my merits-respectin the convictions
of those from whom have at any time diff
erd, aud asking the same justice for my own
II own, fellow citizens, that few things
would better please me than to find quiet
retreat in my native town, where might
pass the rest of my humble career in the Sc

fit the decline of life, till the same old bell
should announce that the chcquered scene is
over and the weary is Mt rest.
