follows Taylor (Bordsr Ruf6an,) 20; Shannon
Conservative Pro-Slavery,) 1873; Adams (Free
State,) 346. This is an excellent omen of what
the Free State men can do with fair play and le-
gal voting, but with unlimited colonization from
Missouri, and a census roll of counterfeit names,
got up to suit the ssDemocrats" in power, the
case may be vastly different. We shall see.
DELL CITY.-Ths is the name of a new town
at the head of steamboat navigation on Chippewa
river, Chippewa County, Wisconsin. 1t is four
miles below the Falls, and at point where, as
reported to the Legislature by the engineers, the
Madison Railroad must cross the river in its
course North West. The intersection of this pro-
iected road, will make this point of prominence.
An excellent and never-failing water power, with
a fall of 35 feet, is at the disposal of manufac-
turers and millers. The site is said to be very
eligible one, and the lands around, fertile and
every way adapted to farming purposes, are fast
filling up with an Industrious and hardy popula-
ton. James B. Gray & Co., are the proprietors
of this promising town, and their agent Octavius

Let the Supreme Court decide that Banks
Of issue are unconstitutional, and that will
be an effective stopper on the issue of paper
promises to pay.-Vt. Patriot.
1t is strange how some people seize upon
hobbies to make capital. The Editor of the
Patriot isin his paper one thing and in his
"business transactions another. He has
for the past five years been untiring in advo-
eating the charter of banking institutions
throughout the State; he has held stock in
no less than five different banks in the time,
and if we report correctly, holds some TWEEN
ty shares at the present time; and now what
is the principle upon which he asks the Su-
preme Court to decide these banks unconsti-
tutional? He certainly knows they will
never do SO, or if he found they would, he
would be the first to ask government remuner.
alton for his twenty shares. We do notwish
to be understood as defending such number
of banks as this State has, for the business
is overdone. Let it be managed upon pru-
dent basis, and the banks are help to the
country; but when the Legislature goes into
the business of chartering as it did in the
Democratic Legislature of 1858, it is enough
to ruin any business.
