Thc Democratic Programme.

The Day Book, an administration pa
per of New York city, lays down the pro-
gramme of the future duties of the dem
ocratic party. We have no doubt the
party will take the position indicated by
the Day Book, and moreover that it will
meet its final end in endeavoring to sus-
tain it. That paper says:
meanwhile. the decision of the Su-
preme Court has torn aside the veil, and
placed Slavery and Anti Slavery truth
and falshood, in that open, direct, and IL
reconciable conflict, which the repeal of
the Missouri restriction rendered inevita-
bic. Kansas may be substantially dis
posed of, but the same problem is to be
solved in the Indian Territory, New Mex
leo, Arizona, indeed, on a broad belt of
territory extending to the shores of the
Pacific Ocean. Southern citizens must
have the same protection for their slave
property in the common territory, and the
simple question for every democrat to ask
himself is, whether the Northern people
shall be enlightened on the subject, and
be made, to understand that slavery goes
and only goes where it naturally belongs,
or whether they will continue to blind
and delude themselves with the worn out
hana5ug of Territorial Sovereignty, and
bring upon their party overwhelming and
disgraceful defeat in 1860? Nebraska
ism is dead; Squatter Sovereignty is
worse than dead-it stands exposed, a
disgraceful ilnposture; let, then, the dead
bury the dead; let all honest and patriot
ic democrats rally on the platform of tho
bred Scott decision, under the standard
of the President, who has accepted that
decision, and with open and manly front
prepare to meet the great question before
the country on its merits. e. -

THE DIFFERENCE IN CONGRESSIONAL
REPRESENTATION law prescribes n
certain ratio of population as necessary
for member of Congress, but it is the
fact that very wide discrepancy exists
between the population of verious districts
some being very far short of the number
required, and others again largely exceed
ing it. The average vote ola Congress
ional district in Illinois is about $4,000;
in New York about l6, 900; and in Wis
consin about $4,000. This is very
wide discrepancy, and shows in Illinois
and Wisconsin remarkable preponder-
ance Of population over the number re-
quired. This is to be accounted for by
the rapid growth Of the west since the ap-
portionment, and is significant of the
strength which the west will exercise in
Congress under the next apportionment.
Wisconsin will then have at least five Rep
resentatives.-Free Democrat.

The Popularity OF FREMoNT-The
Albany Argus insists that during the
late election, "the only way the Republi-
cans held their majority in such counties
as st. Lawrence and Chautauque, was by
holding forth the name of Fremont for
President in 1860. - ''= 1924 e
st. Lawrence and Chautauque gave
$500 Of the 10000 Republic n majority,
which the whole State gave for Morgan.
There is no question that FREMONT is
more popular with the large mass of the
Republican voters, than any other man
in the party. But the at same time, it is
equally clear that the leaders are not in
his favor. They prefer some hackneyed
politician. A 'eo'

Our resders are lr,bably all aware
that du in the last scssi> of the Leg;sla-
ture law was passed, prohibiting the
taking of brook trout between the first
day of November and the first day of
March. This law has been repeatedly
violated by persons in our village, and
trout have been caught in large quantities
and sent to Hudson and st. Paul for sale.
This is both illegal and unjust. Trout
are as much public property as public
park, and no person has right to catch
them III larg. quantities for purposes of
gain. We have received a letter from a
gentleman in Hudson, desiring us to call
attention to this infringement of the law.
There is disposition to see the law strict
ly enforced and we hope it may be done.
The law is as follows
AN ACT to amend Chapt. %, of the general
laws of 1853, untitled an act for the preserya-
eds n,sy ton OF game. aaf 81
5 The people Of tic State Of Wiscon-
SIN, represented IN Senate and assembly
do enact as tolows;
SECTION /. No person shall take by
any device, contr:van,e or means what
soever, any brook-trout. within any OF
the stream or waters within this State, be-
tween the first day of November and the
first day of March following in each year;
and no person shall at any time to Ike brook
trout with any net, some, wire basket,
spear, grapple. trap, or any device what
ever, .ept hook and line and every per-
son offending against the provisions of
this section, or who shall expose for sale,
or shall have any brook-trout in bis pos
session or custody which shall have been
taken during the time when the taking
Il ereof is prohibited by this act, shall be
liable to the penalties prescribed by the
act of which this is amendat ~, and sub
ect to ,osecution in the manner therein
provided.
Approved May 18th, 1858.
The penalty in the act referred to is as
follows. From this it appears that a per-
son may be fined either two or five doll
ars for each trout taken, according to the
discretion Of the justice.
SEC. 3. Every person offending a
gainst the provisions of this act, or either
of them shall be subject to penalty of
five dollars and costs of suit, for each and
every grouse, prairie hen OF chicken, and
two dollars for each and every woodcock
or quail, whereof he, she, or they shall
be convicted of having taken, killed or
destroyed, or pursued with intent to take,
kill, or destroy, or have had in posses
sion within the meaning of this act, which
penalty Or penalties may be sued fer and
recovered in the name of the State Of
Wisconsin, before any justic, of the peace
of the county in which the offence shall
have been committed, which suit shall be
commenced and carried on in the same
manner as prosecutions for other misde-
meanors are. The provisions of this bill
shall not be construed to include any
Indians located within the limits of this
