Chief Justice Ta,ley.

citizen is entitled to. No man can disgh rye
his public duties in m amer satisfactory to all,
but ii is something unus, oil in patty tactics to
misreTrcscnt f,cts so grossly as or Repul lcun
friends have thought proper to do in their
charges upon the venerable Chief Justice. The
| changes l!a"e been rung uron sentiment as
c.ibed to fancy until the masses of that party
doubtless believe it--,hat sentiment is this -
"Tke Negro has no rights which white men are
bound to respect"
We dislike to see men otherwise sensible and
honest giving uttcrancc to palpable falsehood,
and to enable them to get right, we give below
Just what fancy I'D say, and after reading the
exact language of the bred Scott decision we
shall exrect to see the mis-statement in refer
ence to it abandoned.
The Jrdge, it will be seen was not exrress-
ing an opinion now entertained by himself or
by any other person or party he was referring
to the political and social status or standing of
the Negro in the time Of Washington, Hancock
and Adams. and in justification of their neglect
to protect or include him in the Articles of Con
| federation or in the Constitution, and in rroof
that tie equality" clause of the Declaration
was not designed to include Negroes Judge
fancy uses the language which follows:
We ask any man of so1nd mind, capable of
reading history if every word here used is not
true !? And if true, what nonsense to keep mis-
representing it to the prejudice of Southern
Jurist whose personal feelings will not allow
him to hold slaves.
"1hes had for more than n century before. been
regarded as beings Of an inferior order, and alto

that they had no rights ,rhich the scite men ,cere

ly and lawfully be reduced to slavery for his
benefit. He was bought and sold, treate as an
ordinary article Of merchandise and traffic,
whenever profit could be made by it.
"Ih:s orinion was, at the time, fixed and uni
versal in the civilized portion of the white race.
1t was regarded as an axiom in morals as well
as in politics, which no one thought of disru-
ting. or supposed to be oren 10 dispute; and men
in every grade and position of society daily and

Leather.

AedLueI.
We honestly believe that the new process of
Tanning by DANIELS patent is destined to save
more money to Iowa and the North West than
any invention of the last dozen ysars. We have
no bark to DO the business with and its imror-
tation here would be SO expensive as to put it
beyond reach entirely. We produce tons of
hides of the lest quality and they are all car.
ricd far east to the bark regions and returned to
Us in Leather at most extravagant Prices. We
are compelled to sacrifice our hides and submit
to the mercy Of the eastern Tanner. The New
Process requires but little means comparatively.
1t is simple and effective. 1t makes better
leather and in one tenth of the time required by
the old mode. Dr.. Halves has recently demon
strated this fact by tanning few skins at Nc.
Gregor. The Chicago Hide and Leather Co..
the largest in the west, has adopted the system
and thrown away the thousand yats required by
the bark process. We are informed that Tan.
merry capable of turning cut $4,000 worth OF
Leather FER annum is about to be established
at this place. 1t will be immensely valuable
not only to the operators but to the whole
Northern part of the state.

us for pcrusal the celebrated Mexican War Book
with that curious Spanish title "Chile con carne'
1t is work of 400 pages and it is probably the
best history of G en-. Taylor's mraien that has
been written. The writer, rr. s. c. Smith of
Milwaukee was al eyewitness to most of the
events narrated. and he possesses the faculty of
telling his facts like fancy and his fancy like
facts. We have read the work with great
deal of pleasure and we advise those who want
to see the truth Of history dressed in the garb
of pleasing romance. to buy the work.

Who lid IT ?--MERR.LL of the Prairie
Courier was the first man to hoist the name of
Mayor CEcss fer Governor of Wisconsin. We
had the honor, and very great pleasure of max
ing the acquaintance of Mr.. Cross recently and
we have since learned enough to satisfy us that
he is sure to be elected. He is plain, alfable,
sensible Democrat, and he has more personal
friends than any man in the State. Milwaukee
is in debt to him in every sense, and she will
confess it at the ballot box in November by all
almost unanimous vote. BIO. Merrill Is de-
lighted with his success, and we suggest that
the Mayor authorize the old Typo to call all the
Democratic Editors of Wisconsin to Madison
to witness his Inauguration Us Governor, and
partake of the good things which will probably
he fashionable on that occasion. We live just
across the river YOU know, and can most likely
leave home as well as not
