RYAN's SPEECH ON BooTH.-The Mil
waukee News gives the following sketch of
the speech of E. G. RYAN, in the BoorH
case:
yesterday the Court House was filled
to its utmost capacity, and the tops of adj
joining buildings covered with people
anxious to hear Mr. Ryan make the clos
ing speech on the trial of S. NJ. Booth, for
seducing Caroline N. Cook, a little girl of
fourteen and half years old. And such
a speech. 1t was like pouring boiling
molten potash on the head of the seducer,
and his ''fugleman" Peter Turck. There
is not money enough in Wisconsin to hire
us to sit for eight hours and listen to the
eloquent denunciations heaped on our
head as upon the head of Booth. He cut
the skin across the top of Booths Uranium
as you would cut the skin of AN orange
peeled him to the heels, and exhibited a
picture of damnable wrong, sufficient to
draw tears from the eyes of many of the
audience"

The National Democratic PARTY
Some things 1t has dome, and some thing,
AZ propoSes to dO.

This party, since its organization under
the leadership of Thomas JEFFERSON. has
been the only truly National party of the
country. Ithas never been-and we predict
never will be-oyerthrown, when true to
those great and living principles that it
was instituted to carry out and establish
it cannot be beaten when the true issue of
principles that separates it so widely and
distinctly from the opposition, shall be full
ly and fairly presented to the people,
When the leaders Of the party lost sight of
the fact that our government was framed
for the purpose of securing the interests,
and promoting the happiness of the people
OF the whole nation, and attempted to make
use Of its power and prestige for the pro
motion Of their own selfish and ambitious
schemes, or for the promotion Of the pecu-
liar interests of any particular locality or
section of the Union, the party became di-
vided into factions, and losing the conf
dence of the people, its power became
greatly weakened, if not for time entirely
overthrown.
To this party, or in other words, 10 the
carrying out the great principles upon
which it is based, is the Nation indebted
for It's present prosperity, greatness and
glory. We do not say this in the vain spi
nit Of boosting, for we speak only what the
history of the country and the party pro
claims to the truth. To this party, does
the world Of mankind owe it, that BY the
repeal Of the odous alien and sedition laws
enacted by the Federal party, the United
States il made an asylum where the OPP
pressed and down-trodlen of despotic ma
tons can ENJOY unmolested their religious
and political opinions that they can emf
crate to this country, and here possess and
hold property, and acquire and enjoy the
same political rights that belong to native
born citizens, and that our flag protects
them in those rights wherever they NAV
90. To this party does mankind owe it,
that the free institutions Of this country
have been extended, and will continue to be
extended over contiguous territory as rap
idly as the exigencies or necessities Of our
people have heretofore demanded, or NAV
hereafter require Have we not thus add
ed TO our greatness as a nation
Shall we object to any further expansion
Of our territorial limits, and refuse to ex
tend the benefits OF our institutions and
laws to the people Of those territories now
contiguous to Us, whenever they may ask
Us TO do it We cannot refuse on any 9th.

says:-"lt is a gratifying fact, indicative

peace of the country, that at the recent

either retired from the scenes, or have ex-

is particularly marked. Two years ago,

A CUTE TRICK Our neighbor of the
Tribune has taken sides with the Know
Nothing wing ofhis party, and refuses to
join the German republicans in support Of
CARL SCHURz for Governor. He coolly
tells the friends of Mr.. S. that he would
make an excellent Lieutenant Governor, in
the following extract from his paper OF
Tuesday:
''The only man mentioned in connec.
ton with the Lieutenant Governorship, is
that of CARL SCnURz. Could any man
be better fitted for the position either by
nature or scientific attachments"
This, we imagine, will be very cold
comfort to the German Republicans OF
Manitowoc, who doubtless think that those
very same natural and "scientific attain.
ments," would also be good qualifications
for the higher office. But the whole thing
is plan of the Know Nothing Republi-
cans to get RANDALL nominated for Gov
ernor, place ScHURz again on the ticket,
and scoop him out, as was done two years
ago. We will see whether Mr. SCHURZ or
his friends will bite at this new hook of the
Tribune, and whether they are willing to
be again traded off for the benefit of a few
Republican demagogues.

Eighteen thousand sheep, an unprece-

this week. The great drought has parch-

send them to market. The lambs are, ma

sell at dollar head. The market is so
dull that many drovers have taken their
sheep to Long Island, and distributed them

EE IHE IriLilu.

@ THE Tribune, of "Wednesday, in
an article upon the subject Of issuing Viii
lage Bonds in aid of the Railroad, holds
the following, which we most fully en-
dorse:
"The citizens of the village are doubtless
all in favor of doing all they can consis-
tently to aid in building the road they
are even willing, SO far as we can learn,
to gire the amount which they have been
asked to loan for that purpose, but they are
firm in their determination to put a veto
upon all attempts to obtain it by any doc
unents or schemes which bear the impress
of doubtful financiering.'
The editor of The Tribune will pardon
us for saying, that the difference between
him and ourself upon this question is, that
he goes upon the belief that the Village
Trustees are incompetent to act for the vii
lage, and that the Railroad Company may
be simple enough to get cheated by Wall
street inanciers, while ace believe that
Messrs. JONES and LEUrs, who now own
the Road, and have the largest interest in
having it completed, will organize Board
OF Directors fully competent to protect the
company and village against the fraudulent
schemes of those sharpers. We know that
if they should suffer the village to be cheat
ed, they themselves would be the greatest
sufferers.
In an article upon this subject in anoth-
er column, we have urged upon the village
to issue its bonds to the Railroad Compa.
ny to be organized by Messrs. JONES and
LEUPs, which Company, we presumed
would not sacrifice its own interests by be
coming rogues and cheating the village out
of the bonds, and their principals (Messrs
JONES and LEUPs) out of their interests
We went upon the principle that these
men would act honestly and intelligently
and that if they secured the iron for the
Road, we were certain of the completion
Of the enterprise-towards which, the edi
tor of the Tribune says, the people would
gice $150,000.

BEAUTIFUL MACHINERY. We witness
every addition made to the manufacturing
facilities of our city with just pride and
pleasure. A new engine put in motion, a
new foundry set in operation, a new grist
mill, a new branch of mechanism of any
description, firmly established, adds so much
creative wealth to the city, and every man
in it is as much richer as if he actually had
money placed in his pocket. Entertain
ing these views, we looked through the
new foundry and machine shop of Messrs.
JOHN IvINsoN & Co., yesterday, with pleas
ure and admiration. These gentlemen have
just received their finishing machinery from
Massachusetts. Their lathes, boring ma
chine, and bolt machine, excel anything 4oi
the kind we ever saw. For beauty of fin.
ish, smoothness in running, and durability
of build, we doubt if their superiors, oil
even equals, can be found in the West. One
of the best indications of good workman
is to be found in the quality of his tools
and if this rule is applied to Messrs. IvISsos
L Co., and holds good, their workmanship
will be of superior grade. The proprie
tors are always to be found at their posts
with sleeves rolled up, ready either to do 1
job of work, or politely show an inquiri NJ
stranger through their premises. $500
