Freedom. of Speech and Rotten Eggs.

The writer of. = Notes on Iowa County" in
his last number, refers to those haloyon days IN
Mineral Point, where no man was allowed TO
Ut r any sentiments contrary to the opinions of
the people then living here when " fanatics
who travelled about for the purpose OF intiaming
the preiudices of men by exaggeratiog the evils
of American Slavery, 6c,'-" came and went
like spies, fearful of publicly protesting their
sentiment and purposes on tree soil, !" and so
on to the end of the longest sentence it has oeen
our let to read since We were school boy
That was the golden age" an awful change
has since taken place the present Is the " iron
age" where every can speak and write
What lie pleases. and pray to God TO deliver the
Slave from his bonds.-crmes which nothing but
a pelting with rotten eggs would then have
atoned for.
Poor Matthews He thought Slavery was
wrong,-a crime against humanity and heaven
he thought this was a free country,-he tho't
liberty OF speech and of the press should not
be abridged" as it is said in the Constitution
but, h5rriBile dictu-he was mistaken. He
I was taught better by shower of rotten eggs
The writer says in the same vein
But agitation has done fearful work with
in eighteen years, and on the very spot where
Mathews was rotten egged, have witnessed q
portion Of the same people applaud another can't
ing aboitiouist, for uttering sentiments Office
tonable in themselves, and made a thousand
times more so by the high position of the per-
son altering them
The man who had The audacity to utter these
sentiments. knowing at the same time that the
writer Of the Notes was present, vas c. Q
WAsnBuRN, He said that he did not approve
OF the Fugitive Slave Law and would never as
slst to execute it." What treason Why did
not the writer of the Notes " let fly the
rotten eggs ? How could he sit still, when the
liberty of the country was thus outrageoasl '
abused Was he afraid
But we can excuse Mr. WAsHavay. He knew
That there were plenty of men in the North who
would delight in chasing runaway nggers,-
lie knew that some of those men were present.
perhaps he knew that the writer of the Notes
was one one of them he knew that love 70,

Iowa County Bonds.

The Dodgeville Adsocate crows over the decis-
ion of the Supreme Court, as to the Constitu-
tionality If the .lssue OF the Madison City Bonds
in the case of the Iowa County Bonds. Per-
haps were this the only point at Issue, it might;
but we have always understood that Of her points
were considered stronger by tie leading coun-
sci IT. the case.
Speaking of the discussion of this question by
the lawyers of Racine, the Milwaukee Free
Democrat says:
a We infer from this controversy that the cues
ton IF the validity OF bonds Is not yet settled,
and the Supreme Court viii have more work be-
fore 1T of that character.
But we wish to call the attention of the people
of the County to the spirit which has been mani
tested by some of the Dodgeville people, in re-
Iation to the bonds, and show how much they
have Tie Interests Of the County at heart.
When these County Bonds were issued, the
Rail Road Company deposited Sl50,OG0, Second
Mortgage Bonds with the County as security.
which Bonds the County now holds. Some
two years since. there was an opportunity TO ex-
change these Second Mortgage Bonds for the
County Bonds, thus freeing the County from any
liability. Bot no, this would not answer the
purpose. If these Bonds were got out OF the
way the great bugbear 10 b. used on the County
Seat question would be gone. Some OF these
members of the Board of Supervisors who were
so anxious 10 have the County Seat removed, re-
marked, az we have heard good authority,
that they ,oere ia hurry TO make s''ch az ar
rsnoep,e since they lcanea them to use IN election
eeriaa rqqlaa Mineral Point" This opportunity
has never again REQUIRED.
And this is the manner in which the interests
Of the County are viewed III some quarters
That this is the feeling in Dodgeyille. among
MANY we have no doubt. hen the news ar
rived in Dodgeyille that the decision Of the Su-
preme Court in the County Seat case, was viz
tual decision against the validity of the County
Bonds, instead of the Joy which should have ra-
dited from the faoessof its citizens az being re-
LEVIED from such a burden, gloom and dissat-
sfactlon usurped its place. Their last hope was
gone
Now. We fmrly believe, that had it not been
for this desire to KEEP the question open, the
County ere this. would, without expense and
litigation, have been relieved OF all anxiety and
trouble on this score. But so long as there is a
determination to sacrifice Sl50,000 on the altar
of little County Seat question, the people need
not expect relief.

Kansas Constitution.

THE Kansas Constitutional Convention has
adjourned, after adapting the instrument, which
is the fruit Of its labors, by vote OF 81 to 10
every Democrat voting Nay. The Constitution
is thoroughly Anii-Slavery, hut the rightoi sui
frags is not bestowed upon negroes. A compe-
titiors between Lawrence and Topeka, each de-
string 10 be the capital of the State, and resort
ing to some questionable expedients TO advance
its wish ended in the selection of the latter
temporarily. The Democracy will probably
do their best to defeat the Constitution before
the people. it authorizes women 10 vote II
school matters for school officers, school taxes,
eqnally with men. From the remarks of sere-
raj Democratic papers, opposition will be made
to tie admission of Kansas VI der it, because 1t
excludes Pixies Peak from its boundaries,
where votes can be easily manufactured, as also
a part of Nebraska Also on account OF not
possessing the requisite population this being
the pretext for refusing it admission before, as
free State, although the population was suf-
ficient to entitle ii to admission Slave State.
1t is strange what strorg prejudice of
the great parties of this country has against free
States, and yet the northern members pretend
to be opposed 10 Slavery.

Oregon Election.

The election of Republican Member of Con-
gress from Ore gon. is one of the most strange
as well as gratifying facts it has been our for
tune to notice for a long time. Oregon was adj :
mitted as State having population of some
fifty thousand, while Kansas was denied admis-
sion at the same time because she had not nine
ty thousand. Reason-Oregon was supposed
to be Democratic, and Kansas Republican
State. This must be very notifying 10 our
opponents, and especially since the member,
Mr. LOGAN, should the election of President be
thrown into the House. would cast the vote of
the State. Thus do

The writer of notes wants us to point out
the representations which he made contrary to
reason and truth
Here is one from " No. " :"
"Our miners have for thirty gears been explo-
ring the known mineral bearing strata of this
country, and they have nothing to learn from
science unless it is the Latin and Greek names
which Biologists have given to the fossils and
rocks which they picked up in their burrows
Again from No. X"
"The friends of deep mining viii Rot claim
for their hobby that 1t is anything more than &
mere speculation, &c"
Now, who the friends of deep mining 2"
Why, we say, nine out OF ten of all our miners;
and have they " nothing to learn from science p
They came from England where science has
achieved its greatest victories in the develop
ment OF the mines And We viii leave it to
them ifthere IS nothing TO learn from science.
These Representations as to the probable ex-
tent of our mines, calling deep mining" a
4" hobby and mere matter of speculation y
are calculated to work injury abroad, and are not
IN accordance with the opinions of the people
here. All Biologists from Owen to Perciyal and
Prof Whitney, who have examined the country,
are of the contrary opinion, and the = writer of
notes is placed in the cnviablc position of the
/ little LAWYER who said, :. Blackstone and / do
/ not agree"
