EsaeraaEsHA-tE,e ola Tess Re
ysoyeS.

The following, copied from our jetter-
sons works and written as his opinions, BY
that renowned statesman, were recently
adopted by the Republican Legislature OF
Wisconsin as the test for all candidates for
r. s. Senator TO iudorse. All the can
didatcs fully indorsed the same except
Judge Howe, who doubted, hesitated ana
PLAYED the lawyerling-consequently' was
not elected. Judge Doolittle's indorae-
nent was clear and manlike; the demo
cratic members opposed Jefersonian doc
irine:
"That the several States, composing
the United States Of America, are not uni
ted on the principle of unlimited submls-
sion to the general government; out 'hat
bv contract. under The style and title OF
the Constitution of the United States,
and Of amendments thereto, they cons IL
tutcd a general government for SPECIAL
purposes, delegated to that government
certain definite powers, reserving eaeh
State to Itself, the residuary mass OF right
to their own self Government; and that
whensover the General Government p as
sumed undelegated powers, It's acts are un-
authoritative, void of no force; that to
this compact each State acceded as state
and as an integral party, its co-States
forming, as 10 ITSELF the other party; that
the government created By this compact
was not made the exclusive or final Judge
powers delegated to itself, since That
would have made its discretion, and not
the Constitution the measure of It's pow
ers. but that as in all other cases Of com
pact among powers having 10 common
Judge, each party has an equal right to
nudge for itself, as we'll of infractions as OF
the mode aid manner of redress"
We add that the position of Jefer-
son was indorsed by Jackson, Clay, Wright,
Adams, and all the old statesmen, but
rigidly opposed by the Federalists. 1t
never was repudiated until lately, aud On
" by the Territorial Popular Sovereignty
anti-State Rights party, known as mod
dern Buchanan democratic-or niger
phobists, who hold that slavery is nation
al, freedom sectional, which is the reverse
of the old Jackson democracy ard Clay
whiggery.
Those who claim this as new Repub-
hcan test are informed that it is only the
old anti-federal test of Jefferson renewed.

Prices.

We continue to give the prices paid
at various places for produce. We
think our readers are enabled thereby to
form correct opinions of the present and
prospective value of what they may have
tossell. Irregularity of prices IN the ives;
is much complained of, and many suppose
such irregularity is caused by local monop-
oily. The leading articles of inquiry now
are meat aud tlour-the first being unu-
sually scarce and dear the latter cheap and
tolerably abundant. It now becomes the
farmer TO form some idea Of the kind of
crop, whether wheat, corn or oats, will pay
best to raise the forthcoming season. AS
a general rule, farmers cultivate most what
is most IN demand at the time of sowing
and planting rule which is mighty I'M
safe. The prudent man looks to the fu-
ture, and to study the future is his gain.
What is now cheapest may, and probably
will, be dearest year hcnce-though the
rule has its exceptions.

General Features Of the Times
A Better day a Coming.

Mijwintel is passed, and the storm of
our discomfort is also passing by, without
any seriors consequences. The weather
for over two months has been severe with
out prect dent; deep SHOWS have caused
almost total suspension OF outdoor busi-
ness. to the almost equal detriment OF IN
door labor. The severe cold has caused
heavy consumption of food and stock pro-
visions, while nothing could be earned by
the poor to replenish their rapidly consum-
ING piles Of wood, hay and corn. People
have therefore been living upon past earn
ed resources-many upon means to be
earned in coming time. Considering also,
that the surplus of provisions is small,
prices dear in consequence and money
.arce, there is murmuring Of hard times
md poverty in this land of natural abun-
dance.
But, the rough features of approaching
spring, when Nature will open her prolific
treasures and give us beauty in exchange
for barrenness and naked winter, are al
ready at hand; rough and unshapen as
they may seem, yet how consoling that an
angel of mercy is concealed beneath that
deformed visitor. We are gladdened by
the thought, and if a jubilee or universal
shout of wolc ONE could hasten the visitors
arrival, we'd sing glory hallelujahs and
shout hurrahs for q week.

Jansen Asking for
Relief.

In another column we publish the pc
tition of EDWARD JANSEN, asking for re-
lief from payment to the State of sum
(not named) of 5000, being the amount
stolen from him while State Treasurer, by
the great Barstow Board of robbers duly
assembled at Madison, for several years
empowered to steal By the dear consecra-
ted democracy Of Wiscousin--plunder be-
ing the chief end of official democracy
It is a serious case. Jansen is a good,
honest old German, nominated and cleo
ted we have no doubt as a subject to steal
from. The Legislature is in this dilemma
if they release him from payment, it will
be precedent for releasing every subse-
ouent Treasurer who may be defaultei
under most any pretense that may be
charged to Providence and misfortune;
County Treasures would ask release
Town Treasures would manage to form
excuses, Providential ones, and ask to be
relieved; School Treasures could be rob-
bed and plead Providential cause, and be
exonerated for reasons just as
plausible as Janssen's. There would be
no end, should the legislature do this seem
ing just thing for Jansen.
Let the miserable democracy for once
open thier purses and exhibit that charity
hais, and which they scoff at and ridicule
from envious motives. Let the merciles:
ones who sing bleeding Kansas" at every
show and act of mercy on our part, no "
open their sealed up souls, she'll out tithe
of the money they have stolen from tn {
people and the little school children anc
help poor Jansen out of his trouble. Tt
encourage you, democrats, to deeds O
righteousness, we will help you to $1,000
whenever you start the ball. But new
er can we approve a precedent Of the kind
petitioned for; it would open the door OF
fraud so wide that future legislatures could
scarce close IL.

E.egssElflye.

The legislature is working fast to be
ready for adjourning on the 23d of Feb
ruary. There is 3 strong movement on
foot to hold on longer than the 23d, but
we think they will adjourn at or near that
time. No material blunder has yet been
committed by our Legislature, and if they
will just pull up stakes and come home the
:rney LovA bad no lobby to encounter; ut
an early day in the session there was a full
lobby with hundreds of local axes to grind,
but finding that none could be bought ex-
cept few of the miserable minority, the
entire squad left in disgust.

County Judge.

The card Of L. j. WooLLEY, Esq, offer
ing himself as candidate for County
Judge, appears in our paper this week.
From an acquaintance with Mr.. Woolley
Of one or two years, we are led to a very
favorable opinion Of him. In moral hab-
its he is irreproachable, and he is capable
Of performing the duties Of the Office
An only objection to Mr.. Woolley is that
the time of his residence in these parts
has been too short to enable people tojudge
satisfactory Of the man, his acts, qualifca-
tions and most Of all his honesty and firm
integrity. The Office is one requiring the
holder to be capable Of preying upon es-
tates without taking the lions share, and
it is therefore necessary for people to know
for whom they are voting to preside over
their estates.

gSxEs and sgaS.

The war between those who arc in Of
fee under Pierce, and those who are ON
but expect to be is under Buchanan, ha:
made a fearful beginning. The war viii
assume all shapes and tones in the deca-
logue, from squeaking to roaring-from
plain parallels to quairanges, and from
pop-gun wads to rifle balls. The defeated
MANY will exhibit all attitudes-from dis
gust and retirement, to desertion and union
with the opposition. Cut off from all hope
of Office with the democracy, they will
seek to impose themselves upon the Re
publicans and hazard their chances for of
fee at our popular elections. They hold
themselves born to Office, and to live by
honest industry they have a contempt
equaled only by their total Indifference to
the peoples rights. May Almighty God
save us from them!!

in 1914, our lead mines produced 2l,-
400, 92O lbs Of lead; in 1855, the product
was 22,O67, $50 lbs; in 1856, it was only
1885, 20 lbs.
1t will be seen therefore that the lead
product is only between two-thirds and hall
of what it was about 1914. In 1856 it is
only two-thirds as much as "A, twelve years
previous. The price of lead in 1914 was
3 Cts. per pound in st. Louis; in 1856 the
price is 81 cts. In 1856, there were i'm
ported into the port Of New Y ork, $685.
900 lbs. of foreign lead, which is more than
our mines ever produced in one year. The
duty on foreign lead is 90 per cont
There is an effort in Congress to remove
this duty and make lead free article
The effect will be reduction of one fifth
on the price of lead. There is only one
policy that will prevent the movement,
which is the old whig policy of protec-
tive tariff for the sake Of protection to
home industry. The principle has been
condemned by years Of past party legisla-
ton, and is therefore dead.
