PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The first copy Of this document received at
ut this office, was from the office Of the Madison
argus, on Wednesday. We circulated it among
our town subscribers in an extra on Friday, and
now lay it before readers IN our regular is
Sue.
We have heard various opinions Of its merits
expressed BY the political friends Of the PFesi-
;dent. Some considered it real Message from
the President, but disapproved OF It's premature
delivery, others doubted It's being genuine, and
some offered to 8 bet high" that it was not the
one only, have we heard express entire salts
faction with the message-rarticularly the clio
sing portions So 1t seems great men viii dif-
fer on important subjects.
For cur own part, We have no doubts a regard
to its paternity. 1t is just such ! document rs
might have been expected from such 4 man as
Franklin PIERCE grand attempt at high sound
Ing words. and special plea in favor OF human
bondage
The President disputes the pretensions of Great
Britain to the right Of protectorship over the
Mosquito coast, and complains of tie violation
of our municipal laws and the law of nations, by
borders, recruits for the war against Russia
He takes decided grounds against paying Sound
Dues to Denmark Tie difficulties with Spain
arc IN a fir way TO be settled without much
trouble. Other matters of foreign policy Of less
importance are also presented.
The Z. S. Treasury is represented to be in a
wholesome condition. The estimated receipts
Tor the year ending July Ist 1856, amount TO ten
and and half millions above the expenditures
The Public debt is less than S40,000000.-
There is deficit in the Post Office revenue, oil
over $259o,000, chiefly owing TO tie abuse Of
tie franking privilege, and the great cost Of
ocean steamers and rail road service The pub
lie lands are being squandered to little purpose
The SGuatter Sovereignty doctrine OF Kansas l.
explained and defined. a high bid is made fo1
Southern support at the election of 1856 in de-
Tending the interests of their domestic institu-
ton, and depreciating freedom, even Of thought
and action In the north
We have no doubt the President expresses the
sentiment of the leaders of the Democratic Par
ty the slavery question, and We glad te
sec him express them thus freely The Message
Is n regular programme of the slavery party fol-
the next Presidential campaign, and We recon-
mend it to the careful pursual of al our read
ers; but more particularly TO those who claim to
be anti-siavery Democrats. If they can relish
the doctrines Of this document, they should hon
eely disclaim all opposition to slavery extern
sion. wherever the peculiar institution may
please to erect Its standard.

elevation which separates the waters that flow
n. w. into the German ocean, together with
those that flow North into the Baltic and S. Z.
into the Black sea, are presented to view. A
dozen strokes represent the head waters of the
great rivers which flow in different directions
from that mountainous range Now the whole
class almost as eager and excited as if they be-
held the torrents dashing down the mountain
sides, exclaim, Danube, Elbe, Vestula Otter,
dc. The next moment succession OF taps as
rapid as the shouts of Lintz, Vienna, Prague,
Dresden, Berlin, DC, struck the ear. In this
manner Geography can be made profitable and
highly interesting exercise and in which the
skill in drawing of teacher and pupils may be
employed to admirable service.

A Chance for old Wings.

The present self-styled National Democratic
party appear very solicitous for the welfare OF
TIE old Clay and Webster Wings. Fearing that
the awful Shanghais may lead them astray, they
are earnestly invited to join the Democratic par
". which is claimed to be the only National
party, now in existence. The invitation re-
minds one ofthat given by the spider TO the fly.
TO come liz and-beeome prey to sspidershlp.
But the most ridiculous feature of the Demo-
cratic policy Is their encomiums upon the po-
litical characters OF Clay and Webster. Such
paneeyrics upon those great statemen, coming
from such a source, appears TO Us quite disgust
ing. If any Of our old Wing friends think
.hat Henry CLAY or DANIEL WEBSTER would
have voted for the repeal of the Missouri Com
priuasc, and unite at this time with the Demo-
Pierce's Message, they had better go in at
cuce, but as enc of them old Wings who de-
tended the characters of Clay and Webster
against the bitter attacks and vitupurations OF
those who now iaud them 50 high, we decline
the invitation, and choose to stay out" We
can find more old Wing associates and old Wing
principles among the Republicans than TO be
found IN the present National Democratic
party" of which we hear so much
For the benefit of such old admirers OF Henry
CLAY as have had the southern wool drawn over
their eyes 10 such an extent as to Join this great
" National Party" we give below an article, a,
it appeared in the Illinois State Register in 1914
and which was generally copied by the demo.
/ cratic papers at that time, and approved by the
party generally. If they can still admire Henry
Clay's political course, and unite with those re-
yiiers OF his character, we say let them so.
But read this article from the Illinois Stat,
Registcr first.

TH2 FoTr OF Polk Co-Th;s county, original
II reported in the Hudson North Star, Bar
stow paper, published in the adjoining county of
St CroiX, as having given about forty democrat
is majority, turned mp in the official canvass,
at l29 majority for Barstow! How this was
done, ali article in the Free Democrat thus
explains
The most suspicious supPlementars or indie
pendent return Is from Polk Co. The coun Y
canyassers returned ! votes for Bashfori and IL
for Barstow. But there is Il precinct return from
Spring Creek, sent, not TO the County Board
but 10 the State Canvassers. giving Bashford 10
and Barstow I0i-a majority of 81 for Barstow.
The vote Of this precinct. Of which the county
officers knew nothing, was more than double
the vote cf the rest of the county.
Now, about this very independent return"
from Polk Co, read the following from the
GAINESVILLE Frac Press of the 1st inst
a gentleman sits by our table while we
write, who has resided in Polk Co for several
years. He assures Us tina: there is no torn or
precinct in the county called Spring Creek, and
that there not, all told one hundred lcqt yot4s
tn tie co'aty He Is gentleman of Intelligence
and integrity-knows fully whereof he speaks,
and makes no declaration heedlessly"
This IS not qaite equal to Waupacca, but a
piece off the same cloth.

"wYANDOT PROLIFIC CORN

Hr j. @. THoNFsox. of Tonpkinsville, Staten
Island, n. Y. has forwarded Us, in a letter,
few grains of the Wyandot Prolific Corn, for
which he viii please accept our thanks. From
circular accompanying It, we learn that this
new variety of Corn was first Obtained from the
Wyandot Indians, by some overland California
emigrants and sent TO Illinois. where 1t was
found to Weld (during the unfavorablc season
OF 1857 over 125 bushels 10 the acre. With al
ordinary ay,r;sblc season. 1t Is said, 1t VIII yield
at least $50 bushels 20 The acre If the accounts
given of its prolific and Iarinac eous qualities
are 10 be relied upon, this Corn should be cult
waited by every farmer in Wisconsin. We shall
endeavor to raise small crop" from the sam
pie sent Us, next season, when our readers may
expect to learn the result.
The following is the experience Of Mr. ThomP-
soa, IN its cultivation
Il Last spring, he planted twen;y-four grains.
procured from Mr.. James r. Thomas, of Waiver
IL, H., in hills four feet apart, kernel IL 4
hill. About the first week IN May, eighteen
grains came up. which at first did not differ in
appearance from the ordinary corn. When about
eighteen inches high. shoots (not sucl1ers) began
seven in some hills. These secondary shoots
soon outstripped the main stalk, and grew TO
the height Of ten feet and over. Up to the first
week in August there was little prospect of any
yield Of corn, though there were incipient ears
numbering as high as thirty on hill.
During August, these ears developed rapid
IL, so that seventeen hills contained cighty-two
stalks. bearing one hundred and twenty-tbree
good ears, and one hundred and five immature
sets for ears. which our season Is not suffcientlv
long to mature. All this resulted from only
seventeen kernels. Ol.e Of the hills had SIX
stalks, thirteen mature and eighteen immature
ears.
The corn WIS in IN unfayorable location, be-
Ing shaded on the east and west by trees which
shut out the morning and evening sun. The
rapid filling out and growth of the ears in Sep
tenbe-, i represented as really astonishing 10
al who watched its progress. The peculiarly
CT the variety seems to be, first. fall develop
rncnt Of stalks and leaves from shoots sprincine-
from the roots. and afterwards a rapid growth
and maturing Of the ears during August and
September. Mr.. Thompson states that he shall
have some Of the seed to dispose of"
Mr.. Thompson further states that he is agent
sor the sale Of the corn, which VIII bc warranted
genuine, and sent 10y mail at the following
prices Sufficient 70 plant IN acre. 81 half an
