Possibly we contributed our pat, though
we are not chargeable with opposition to

Until very lately, We thought the transac.

foundation of new heaven and earth
speaking after type. In laying thi, new
founda ton. the old rubbish, however firm
ly laiI and strongly ceman ted with slime
and bound by roots, had to be removed
an destroyed by the fires of the Investi-
eating Committee. Their work is done
and the plans of a new structure ready fol-

cradle time in one house or the other with
out final action thereon.
Your correspondent, as is well known,
has been friend of Gov. Bashford, early
and late, wa, one of those who first pro-
posed his nomination, labored earnestly
for his election, sustained him most heart
ily in the severe contest which followed,
often commended his administration, an"
defended him against the assaults made OF
his character in last falls campaign. TIL,
was done in all sincerity, perfect confidence
being reposed in the man who had been
elevated to office and sustained IN Office as
the representative of Truth and Honesty
againa Fraud and Corruption. But those
who have been the warmest friends OF the
Elk. Gov. are now compelled, by the de-
yelopments of the last few months, to re-
gard him as man who has betrayed the
aust reposed in him, proved himself unht
for the high position which he occupied
weak, vain and lacking in that stern virtue
which she times demand. The testimony
of Mr.. Klbourn, as published, shows that
Gov. Bashford did receive bonds to the a,
mount of $4,000, after signing the bill
giving part of the Land Grant to the La
Crosse Il. R. 1t does not appear as yet
that there was any "bargain and sale "a
bout that trans action, but that MIR. Bash
ford signed the bill without any expecta
ton of such reward To secure bis gooo
will for the future the La Crosse 20. made
him munifcent gift which he weakly
and foolishly, las many another man would
have donein his place. accepted.
The correspondence between Baahtord
and Kilbourn which was published last fall
appeared to deny the giving or receiving
of any bonus in consideration OF the Gov
ernor's action in regard to the Land Grant
An examination of these letters shows that
facts have yet been made public-they
state no more than is the truth, and yet
are SO ingeniously worded as to seem to
assert much more. 1t ia simply denied
that sin consideration of" Gov. Bashford
approving the Till" granting the lands te
the La Crosse R. r. bonus was received
&c. 1t appears that the bonus was re-
ceived and "the consideration" was not the
signing of the bill but subsequent action
in giving certificates by which 1t was des-
ignated the company should procure lands
before complying with the conditions Of
the Grant.
In answer to Numerous inquiries made
of me wish to state, through your paper,
that. the Elk. Gov. has not been summoned
before the Investigating Committee nor is
likely to be. His Private Secretary and
other of his friends however have been ex-
amined. The propriety of the course ia
ken by the committee think must be ap-
parent to all, though | understand the Elk.
Gov. swears Justify about it and thinks the
Republicans adopted mistaken policy in
instituting and prosecuting this investiga-
ton. The Committee have nearly COM
peted their labors and will probably report
in few days. Yours, PAGE.

THE FREE LABOR IssuE-sHALL 1T WIN IN
1860.

We are often asked ''do you think the
Republican or Free Labor party will con-
quer in 1860" Not having any doubts,
we always answer EYES," and give our
reasons about as follows: Every newspa
perrin Christendom is discussing the merits
and dement's of slaveholding; its friends
and foes are freely expressing their opin-
ions on both sides through the press. The
extremes are fairly dealt with, the Demo
cratic papers constantly holding up the
horrors of negro equality and the Republi-
can papers are constantly giving what is
said by The sla very advocates in favor OF
whitet men for slaves and even re-opening
the African Slave trade. The truth is
therefore perfectly accessible. Second,
The free labor advocates are men of strong
vitality and principle airing nothing 4
bout Office but untiring in their advocacy
ofl,berty for all-slayery for none. Third
The friends of slave labor are divided into
two classes: the official democracy or
donghfaces, who profess to bc just as much
opposed TO slavery As anybody, and the
true pro-slavery men; The former cannot
stand before the people, the latter are in a
hopeless minority. Fourth, That portion
of American citizens raised in foreign
countries but adopted by our own, embra
cling nearly third and welding an earnest
and immense influence, particularly the
Germans who are Of speculative turn of
mind and disposed by character as well as
By experience to dislike slavery, will be
generally on our side. The English,
Seotb and Welsh will be almost unanimous
and We have the strongest hopes in the
Irish; the latter have only to learn that
their worst enemies are those who moot
fiatter ut never fulfill promises, and they
too will join the ranks of freedom. Fifth,
Discussion is certain to end in public con-
victicn that slavery is wrong, and that end
is being accomplished every day; as eyi-
dence of this, we see proposition after prop
ositlon conceded against slavery, while not
a proposition for slavery is.gaining ground.
Lastly, There is strong conviction in the
public mind that about the last pro slavery
battle has been won, and that Seward or
some other free labor advocate will be cleo
ted President in 1860. 1t is said tba,
Napoleon's greatest power of success was
a belief among the masses that he was nm.
conquerable. Hitherto, the word of N,
has BEEN. Slavery always won and i will
win now" Such BELIEF among the masses
has changed into a notion that in 1860
the Republican party will conquer. and
this notion is worth more than half ali
other ammunition. Popular decree is in
our favor, and the battle will be an easy
