10000 Majority.

Some people think the contest this fall will be
close. Perhaps ii will, but we shall miss ou1
guess if the Republican majority docs not reach
ten thousand. Please read the extracts on the
outside ofour paper from regular Democratic or.
gans, containing opinions upon Barstows nom.
nation, and prospects. This is the feeling thro.
out the State. In addition to that, we hear d.
rcetiy and indirectly, of scores of prominent and
leading Democrats who are openly and zealous
" opposing BarStow. just think of it, The
Democracy were united. to a man on Crawford
and every Democratic Press supported him.
and ttco of our presses yet we elected Cole by
5000. We say, ten thousand is modest calcu
lation. We shall expect it to exceed rather thar
fall below it.

- The Menasha Adcocate of the 18th inst,
gives an account of young boy committing sui
eide in a most unaccountable manner:-
Young Kelsey imagined himself to be whipped
and abused too much by the village boys, and
on Monday evening he told his mother he would
stand it no longer-that he would hang himself.
No attention paid to the threat, and on
Thursday morning he was whipped by his moth
er for some trivial offence, after which she sent
him to the woods to procure some good switches
to be hereafter used on him for bad behavior
He was accompanied bya younger brother. At
ter going into the woods short distance, he sent
the brother back home for rope, in order, as he
said, to bring large bundle. On the brothers
return, young Kelsey was stiff in death. In the
absence ofhis brother, he placed some blocks on
the ground, placed one of his suspenders around
his neck and tied one end to the limb of a tree,
kicked the blocks away, and hung in that posi-
ton until found dead This is indeed sad af-
fair, for young to take his life by his OWN
hands. Those who have seen the corpse, say
that even in death, his countenance exhibits the
picture of determination and courage.
/ Here was brave and high-spirited boy, who
had the stuff nhim to make one of the best mem
beers of society, driven to desperation and death
! by the folly and brutality of his parents 1t
should be 4 warning to parents.

Mr.. Strong of kenosha was a delegate to the
late State Democratic Convention, 90 and is dis
tnguished and well known Know Nothing "
" When interrogated'' he says "emphatcally
that he does not belong to any order whose prin.
ciples are inconsistent with Barstowism and
the Democratic platform. He belongs to the
X. N. party Itfollows then, that Democracy
" and Know Nothingism are consistent with one
another"
"The" Democrat tries to hold up its face
and deny it, even yet. For weeks back we have
been accommodating proofs in the'' Telegraph g Of
the fact and the Democrat % attempts no reply u
We wish Kenosha Strong and the Democrat
"would appoint convention to settle this qucs.
ton, and then drop around to our Office we
want to know. Alas for SUCH Democracy
"Thc word sticks in every honest larynx."
How does the Democrat like this application
of its own rule +?

Eg@It viii be seen that Mr.. Towslee tops out
his column this week with further announce
ments, comprising portion of the variety of the
large stock he has got and is getting on. We
had occasion to look into his establishment a
day or two since, and we found it was ''fact and
no felton, that he had provided most bountiful-
~, in every department, for the large trade which
may reasonably be expected this winter And
the handsome arrangement of the goods, and &C.
morally pleasant appearance of the whole concern
led us to infer, what we found on inquiry to be
the fact, that our excellent friend CHARLEY
BROWN had abandoned his intention of leaving
the city, at least for the present. and would be
found as heretofore, in this establishment We
state this because, as we suppose it was gener-
ally known he had intended to go, we know it
will be agreeable news to the many who have
traded with him, to learn that he has changed his
mind and viii remain Charley has been among
us long time and by strict attention to business
and fidelity to his employer has won for himself
an enviable reputation, and as we like him, and
have found in our experience in trading that he
always does the fair thing as we'll for the custo-
mer as the employer, it gives us pleasure to take
this occasion to set him up little. Mr.. lows
lee has a good stock of goods, and has made his
arrangements to suit customers in all respects.

Democrat repeatedly, to the fact that two of the
four delegates from this county to the Democrat
ic State Convention were undoubted members Of
a Know Nothing Lodge. He has been remark
ably quick to detect the presence of d. E. Wood
in our Convention, and argue therefrom our con-
nection with the order. We entreat him to be-
stow little attention upon the circumstance we
allude to, and tell us what inference we are au-
thorized to draw from it with reference to Bar
stowism. We pause for reply.
