Geo. Z. Scott, Esq, addressed the Convention
in some stirring and appropriate remarks urging
t.e importance OF sustaining both the county and

The Engines have Come.

The 'hlhosha" and q lSilce5' Lake, .
for the Kenosha and Rockford road, from
the celebrated mandatory of Norris &
Sons, Philadelphia, have arrived by the
way of the lake shore road. They are
large and powerful machines, of the most
modern and perfect structure, and when
the tallow which covers them to protect
them from the weather is rubbed off, will
be found as beautiful as they are good.
Ilurrah for the railroad! Hurrah for the
engines! But recollect slavery is the
natural foe Of all such improvements.

A RANK DEMAGoGUE.-Two years
ago I. w. Webster was elected to the
office he now holds by Republican votes
by declaring that he was Republican.
He wrote articles and made speeches in
favor Of the Republican party and Re
publican principles, and you could not
do anything that would enrage him
more, than to express a doubt of the
genuiness of his conversion, or the hon
esty Of his declarations. Now he is Ia
boring heart and hand in the same cause
with the most ultra shareholders of the
South--for extension of slavery into ter
ritory once dedicated to Freedom for
ever. Then he pretended to condemn
he repeal of the Missouri Compromise,
now he not only approves that repeal,
but he is laboring with all his might to
give slavery the benefit of it, by forcing
it by war and bloodshed into Kansas
He is the most perfect specimen OF a
Demagogue--eyerything by turns and
nothing long-bent only on his own
selfish purposes, at whatever COST
Voters be not deceived again, but oote

and Freedom! cote early!

Genoa Village.

The beautiful and pleasant village of Genoa
is located near the State line of Wisconsin and
Illinois, in Walworth County. It's thriving
little town, growing in population and business
importance, and the centre Of afertile and highly
cultivated agricultural district Its inhabitants
are energetic, enterprising and intelligent people
proud Of their town, and bound to build it up
The Wis. Central Railroad already passes thro'
the place, and til expected shat the Kenosha &
Rockford r. r. viii also pass through it. Its

most of its business is done now through this
place.

year, and the completion of our Railroad to that
place will give a new impetus to their building
as well as to other branches of business

the other by Thomas Mitchell, formerly of this
city, where he was well known as an excellent
mechanic and machnist. The citizens of Genoa
are fortunate in securing such practical me
