!. We are Of the opinion that to invite Ice
turer here, however able to i'd vocate the III via
ION of the federal government. and the political
doctrines of Garrison AbolihonIsts, 10 in itself
wrong. '-Kenosha Times.
The Times exhibits very disagreeabls ssnsi-
tivenets in its remarks. There was no point in
the lecture of Wendell Phillips. to which any
patriotic citizen ;ould honestly take exceptions.
He advocated the cause of Right, Justice and
Humanity, in an able, eloquent address which
Was entirely free from any appeal to local preiu-
dice or passion. He thought, as we think, that
il is time the North ceased to be frightened into
a slayish acquisscsnee of every demand of the
South and the slave power. by tho overcoming
cry and threat of q dissolution" He thought
We should dare to do right and be just, and let
consequences take care of themselves He did
i not believe the threatened dissolution of the I'M
ion would lake place, if the north SHOULD adhere
to the doctrine of freedom and justice to all but
if it should, the responsibility would rest upon
those who persist in the oppression and wrong
that causes it.
1t il little singular that the Times has no
word of reproof for the southern disunionists,
who are threatening dissolution every day unless
congress and the whole general government
turns in to force adetested constitution which Is
indignantly repudiated by nine>tsnths of the
citizens, upon Kansas. 1.-THE mere superstition
of disunion under certain circumstances is SO
heinous before q northern audience, by what
kind Of legerdemain is the constant discussion
and threatening Of 1isunion rendered so very pro
| per before southern audience!
| But the Times is no less indignant at the As
ISOLATION than at its lecturer. 1t says:
We believe farther, that the petty partially
in the managers OF a. association of the sort is
very far from honorable to themselves or promo
tive of the general good of those interested
What this petty Partially" means the Times
does not inform US, but we presume it has refer.
snce to the Lecturers that have been engaged
The managers of the Young Mems Association
ought to employ now and then pro-savery lee
turer to give US in glowing terms and well sci
phrass" the.beautiss, the benefits, the humanity
and christianity of slavery a"d modern democra
cy, for they are both one as we must infer from
the Times own complaint Mr. Phillips made
no illusion to parties He merely condemned
slavery and its consequent wicksdness, and vel
the Times readily takes it as all lsvslled at de.
mocracy. and complains of the petty Partially
of the managers of the Association.
The fact is. the advocacy of American Slavery
with its concomitants is mot fit subject for the
lyceum, the leisure room, or the pulpit, at least
in Flee States. Nor is it q subject the advocacy
of which claims the attention of the scholar, OF
] the philanthropst, when bereft Of the spur and
the excitement of political canvass. The con-
sequence is We have no lecturers of that stamp
. event if We wished to engage them. Science
art, philosophy, political economy, humanity
and christianity, all take the opposite side, and
cannot be treated of even in the most abstract
view, without coming in contact with the scnsi
live nerves of modern Democracy. We know
of but one lecturer who has ever attempted the
other side of the question, and that was William
Gilmore Simms, of South Carolina. He tried
last Winter, but only delivered too lectures il
We recollect Alright, before he gave it up. The
Times will thus see that the managers of the as.
ISOLATION are not much to blame, after all, fci
their appaaeut petty partially"

Monday Morning by which five wooden

houses on each side of it and fleet OF
vessels moored along side the wharves
but they all escaped injury through the
exertions of the firemen.
@ We publish this week the report
of the Agricultural Society of this Co.,
: to comply with the law, to enable the
promised aid from the State, which re
quires the Report to be published in Jan
uary.
We hope the Legislature during the
!. session will so amend the law as to hav,
the Report published hereafter in tn,
fall soon after the holding the Annua
+ Fair, when everybody expects it and il
anxious for it.
~ We take pleasure in copying thu
following complimentary notice of one
of our 'Kenosha boys,"-the son of gu
genial fellow citizen, Charles O'Neill-
from late number Of the Madison Dir
gus. The numerous friends of thu
young artist in this city will be pleased
to hear his success in his chosen avo
cation:
A WISCONSIN ARTlsT-We had the
pleasure yesterday of examining an Oh
Painting in the studio of James O'Neil
: Esq. 1t is copy from an engraving o.
Lear and .Cordelia, taken from the or

effect. The black satin and red velve
