Wise has written twenty eight newspaper
columns of letter on the subject of his be-

Wise takes q survey Of American politics
from the days Of Columbus. and looks for

EH- Some nights ago two gentle
tlemen. with their ladies, went over to Rock
Island to attend lecture. and being de.
tanned until after the Ferry Boat stopped
running. they concluded to walk over on
the bridge rather than abide in our sister
city over night. It's quite long walk
from the Ferry landing to the bridge, but
the undaunted party trudgsd on. and ar

The draw is kept open for the passage ol
boats, from dark until dawn, with the ex-
ception of few minutes at night, when it
is turned to change watchmen The belat-
ed party arrived at the draw at 10 l2 o.
clock, and waited there until the draw was
closed for the watchmen, when their perse-
verance was awarded by safe return to
Davenport. The biidge watchman very
kindly rendered them the shelter of his
house, which they, for reasons best known
to themselves, declined accepting, although
the night was raw and cool.
eY- A dispatch says that at the election
in Massachusetts, last Monday, ON the natu-
ralization proposition, it was supposed that
only about 10000 votes were cast, and as
far as heard there was a majority in favor
of the proposition. We are sorry to hear
this-we are sorry to hear that the great
mass of the Republicans stayed at home,
and permitted the Democrats and Ameri-
cans to carry through. As they have doubt
less done, this proposition so unjust to for
eign born citizens.-Gazette.
II the prince Of liars can invent as gross
falsehood as appears in those few lines
and of which the Gazette is the father. he
ought to be immediately promoted to the
editorship of that journal. 1t is the most
brazen-faced. uncalledfor. positive untruth
on record in all newspaperdom.
The idea that the republicans stayed way
from the polls when ne Of their own bant-
lings, one of their own pet issues was at
stake, is at least novelty. Would to God
they had stayed away from the polls and
allowed the Democrats of Massachusetts, to
defeat it. But it could not be done. The
Republican party of Massachusetts, had de-
termined to scourge afresh the backs Of the
foreign citizens-they wished to crush them
out for two-fold purpose-to rid them
selves of the I'D Dutch and Irish" and
to make bid for the Know Nothing ele
ment of that State, and they have been sue
cessful. To know how Democrats stood on
the question, one has only to refer to the
Legislative record. The bill was openly
opposed by every Democrat in the assem-
bly,; every Democratic paper in the State
denounced it; every republican paper, with
two or three exceptions. earnestly labored
for its passage.
Well may the Gazetts term it "uriust.''
We wish it were sincere with them but
put that paper in Massachusetts, and it would
have been the most ardent supporter the
bill could have had in the State. Germans

scription Of your brethren in Massachusetts,!

He must have wsrk to do-a response

anyhow, the constitution of things in our
present estate. and We accept it as the one
best adapted - imperfect humanity. Still,
