The Antics in Earnest.

TheMadson Patriot, after giving Mr. Cross
ample opportunity, by correspondence and by
personal interview, to purge himself from con-
nection with Barstowism, and getting no salts
faction, makes a dead bolt 1t says:
We are frequently asked whether we intend
to support Mr.. Randall for Governor. We shall
fire no blank cartridges We sincerely believe
it to be for the best interests of the party and
the State, that Mr.. Cross should be defeated land
we shall act vigorously for that end. We in
tend to have our shots take effect, We wish to
see whether the Forty Thieves can impose a
candidate on us, under threats and insults, with
impunity. We shall see how well they will sue
coed. They can do the fine figuring, bullet us see
how popular they will be with the people.
Socially, there are few better men in the State
than Judge Randall. We do not like his prn.
ciples on the slavery question, but we consider
that it is even better to tolerate them than to
submit to the second edition of Barstowism in
this State. Therefore if there is no other nomi-
nee to suit our political views, and who has a
clear record. we shall vote for Judge Randall.

Wheat in winnebago County

We notice several neighboring Counties in
this State and Wisconsin have been Boosting Of
the amount of wheat raised in their respective
Counties. We are willing to place the figures
of Winnebago County for wheat raising along
side of those Of any other County in the West
In the town of Winnebago alone, as shown from
ualfooting of the number of acres in wheat
and the average yield, 10000 bushels were rails.
ed. Well informed farmers there have counted
up over 6,0O0sacres. known to have been under
cultivation for wheat. In New Milford, we be-
lieve the smallest town in the county intelligen,
farmers have figured up 1000 acres for wheat,
and if we take the same average for other towns
in the County, (fourteen,) which is certainly a
very low one, we have a total of 66,000 acres,
producing not less than one million sir hundred
thousand bushels of wheat. We think Winneba-
go may justly claim TO be the banner County OF
the State in Agriculture as she is for Freedom.

German Democratic Meeting.

There was a very large meeting of German
Democrats at the saloon of Mr.. Rant, in the
Second Ward on Saturday evening last, to hear
the report Of the German Delegates to the late
Democratic State Convention. After the organ
ization of the meeting, by the appointment of
Mr. HILMANTEL, rs President, and Mr.. GoscH,
as Secretary, Alderman Cotzhausen made a
speech, ennumerating the wrongs practised at
the Ward caucuSes by the friends of Mr.. ]. 3.
Cross, and showing that only ne;tiourth of the
democratic voters in this County were in favor
OF Cross nomination. Mr. Cotzhausen remarked
that no democrat had ever been elected Governor
OF Wisconsin when his own County was opposed
to his nomination. Mr.. Schroeck, of Waupun,
an old "war-hors e" in the Democratic party,
next addressed the meeting. He dwelt at length
and with great severity upon the many swindles
of "the forty" and the mal-administratien of Elk
Governor Barstow. A preamble and resolutions
were then reported by Committee, setting forth
that the late Democratic State Convention was
IN part, composed OF men elected by corrupt
means; that it had nominated candidate for
Governor IN opposition to the wishes of three
fourths OF the Democratic voters of Milwaukee;
that the ticket had been filed with other names
against the views of the different elements COM
posing the Democratic party of the State; that,
therefore, they would not be bound by the nom.
inatlons of the Democratic State Convention.
that a committee of fifteen be appointed 10 carry
out the views oft meeting, and report AZ y I'm.
ture day. These resolutions were then mt 70
the meeting and adopted.
Mr. Postmaster, Sharpstein, Mr.. Collector
Scheffler, NJ. Commissioner McGarry, and
other officials were ON hand and kindly under
took to direct the action of the meeting, but
the people politely declined their assistance and
took matters into their own hands, The meet
ing was large and spirited, and showed degree
of dissatisfaction with the proceedings and nonl-
nations of the State Convention which argues
i'll for the fortunes of the Barstow ticket.-Ma-

WE publish this week, the letter of

WE publish this week, the letter Of
President Buchanan in answer to Prof.
Silliman and others, in reference to the
atrocities in Kansas. No one can read
this letter without conviction of the
insincerity and bad faith that runs
through the whole of it. But it is not
only special plea for past violence and
ruffianism against the Free State citizens
of Kansas, but proclamation that the
same course will be upheld and endorsed
| by the administration, hereafter. The
ground is distinctly taken that wherever
the constitution of the United States
goes, it necessarily carries slavery with
it, until it is abolished by special local
enactment, and that the inhabitants OF
Territory, have no warrant or power
to make such enactment, and that, as a
consequence, slavery must of necessity
exist in every Territory of the q. S.
The conclusion is that the Free State
citizens of Kansas are and have been, in
kind of rebellion against the United
States laws and constitution, in their at
tempts to create Free State, out of q
Slave Territory and should of course be
dealt with accordingly.
Another thing we may learn from this execu
tive letter, in reference to our own position to
wards the Federal Government. The constitu
ton being pro-slavery document, carrying
slavery with it as the normal condition of al
who live under it, it follows that we, and al
other Free States stand in sort of antagonist
to the Federal laws of the country. and canno
claim the privileges and immunities of full cti
zenship, that a full and entire conformation Il
the laws of Slavery would confer. We stand
then, as kind of outsiders, enjoying our Free
State blessings and privileges merely on suffer
ance.
Are the people Of Wisconsin ready to accep
this position of inferiority at the hands of shan
democracy If so, endorse this executive man
ifesto, by electing the Barstow democratic tickc
this fall. But, if on the contrary they still be
lieve themselves on an equality with their slave
driving brethren, let that be known by tire
mendous majority for the whole Republican
| ticket.

Invasion of Kansas from Missouri

A gentleman who has been travelling through
the border counties of Missouri ;nforms one of
the Kansas papers THAT he saw and heard evi.
dences everywhere on his route, conclusive to
him that preparations were again making in
Missouri to invade Kansas in October with the
view of participating in the Territorial cleo
TONS"
Upon this subject, the correspondent of the
st. Louis Democrat says:
If they come over again. arrangements have
been made to accommodate them permanently.
A formidable military order has been organized
for that purpose. 1t is called the Kansas yolun-
teers for the protection of the ballot-box.' Gen.
Lane, of course, is the presiding genius. His
staff consists OF Messrs. Whitman, Phillips, Con-
way and Redpath; who each have offices in
Lawrence, and are daily engaged with him in
perfecting the organization. Fifteen or twenty
thousand men will be enrolled before the cleo
ton. Companies have been organized and are
drilling in every county in the Territory Dur.
ing the peace, the party prepares for war. Arms
and ammunition were quietly introduced, and a
formidable army can now be equipped The
campaign of last summer taught them the neces-
sity of being prepared in every respect-both as
respects money, arms, ammunition and drill--for
a renewal of hostilities. They are prepared. 1t
is to be hoped that the services of the volunteers
will never be needed. If the nullifers will stay
at home, they will not be called out. But if the
border banditti come over again-they will be
met by exaspirated, well equipped and organized
enemies before they can accomplish the nefari
GUS object of their visit

Mr.. Buchanan's Letter.
To HIS ExcELLENcY JAMES BUCHANAN,
president of the United States

President Of the United States.
THE UNDERSIGNED, citizens of the United
States and electors of the State Of Connecticut re-
specially offer 10 your E1ceAency this their
MEMORIAL:
The fundamental principle of the Constitution
of the United States and of our political institu-
tions, is that the people shall make their ori lars
and elect their rulers.
We see with grief, if not with establishment,
that Gov. Walker, of Kansas, openly represents
and proclaims that the President of the United
States is employing through him an army; one
purpose of which is to force the people Of Kansas
to obey fatss not their oon nor of the United States;
but laws which il is notorious, and established
upon evidence, they never made, and rulers they
never elected.
We represent, therefore, that by the foregoing
your excellency is OPENLY held up and pro,
claimed to the great derogation of our na.lonii
character as violating in its most essentlai par
ticular the solemn oath which the President has
taken to support the Constitution o. the OR'on'
We call attention further to the fact that your
excelleney is, in like manner held up to this ma
ton, to all mankind, and to allposterity, in the
attitude ofs'levying war against portion Of the
United States, by employing arms in Kansas tt
uphold body of men, and a code of enactments
purporting to be legislative, but which never
had the election, sanction, nor consent of tht
people of the Territory.
We earnestly represent to your excellency
then, that we have also taken the oath to obey
the Constitution; and your excellency may be as
sured that we shall not refrain from the praye
that Almighty God will make your administra
ton an example ofjustice and beneicence, and
with his terrible majesty protect our people Gn'
our Consultations.
