opinion might exist, it contained much valuable in
formation in which all were interested, and there
fore it ought to be put up in durable form and diff
fused among the people.
Mr.. Merrimon explained that it was not so much
the delay in printing the message of which he COIN
planned as that in regard to the rules of order.
Mr.. Yeates looked upon It as legal contract and
ought to be carried out on the part of the House.
Mr.. Fleming stated that he was authorized to say
that the public printer had not received the usual
courtesy extended to printers and hence the delay
he therefore insisted on Mr. Waters motion to lay
the resolution on the table.
Mr.. Henry called for the yeas and nays and the mo-
ton did not prevail-yeas 46, nays AZ. ,.
Mr.. Martin offered to amend by requiring the pub
lie printer to give portion of the printing to some
other Office, if he cannot execute the work in due
time.
Mr. Merrimon offered an amendment to tho amend
ment, which was accepted providing for the ap-
pontment of a committee of five to superintend the
public printing of the State and to have the same exc
cuted with all necessary dispatch.
Mr.. Merrimon said he thought the object of hav.
ing public printer to print all matters of i'm
portance for the use of the MEMBERS and if this OBJ
ect cannot be attained he thought there was no use
to elect him. In regard to the message and rules of
order, sufficient dispatch has not been made; the
House has nothing to do with his for delay
if he cannot do the work he ought to be displaced
and some one employed who can.
Mr.. Person. docs the gentleman mean t, saw
that he has had two weeks to do the work I"
Mr.. Merrimon said he did not but surely the
committee on joint rules has reported several days
ago, yet the House cannot get the rules he is call

know that he is out of order. The work ought to

a short time ago We made brief allusion
to the facts involved in the judicial i1nbroglo
in Wisconsin, which, as II seemed 10 us, were
tending towards "stump' race between
Judges Dixon and Smith ior the Office Of Chief
Justice, to he voted for in April next We
will state these points mere fully.
Some six years ago. the Hon. Abram D.
Smith, man Of decided abilities and iorcc Of
character, delivered IN opinion from the Su-
prcme bench Of that State declaring tho Fusi-
tire Slave Law Of 1850 unconstitutional. Sub
sequent1y his views were concurrcd in by
Cnicr Justice, Wilton in d separate opin-
ion, less fervid i'll diction but quite as
weighty in argument. These gentlemen consti-
auting u majority Of the Court, the obnoxious
law became at once \ dead lcitcrin Wisconsin.
The term Of tie third Judge, Crawford, WHO
had disscnted from his colleagues, expiring
soon after, au Issue was male up for tile
.town meetings to decide. Tue Hon.
Orsamus Cole, Of Po.osi, was brought for
ward as the representative Of the principles

d:date. Cole was elected by najor;ty which
nstouoded both partics-somc seven thousand.
If We recollect rightly. Shortly after his ac-
ccsslou to the beacl,, (orpossibly before he had
taken bis sea;l the Cours became involved
in controversy with the q. S. Supreme
Court, Ono Of tho parties in tho Booth
Clover case took al appeal to Washington.
and Judge Taney's Court cent TO Madison
for the rc.ord Of tho Wisconsin Court, TO
"carrect p" it in due form. The precise issre
involved was tho liberty Of Nr. S. II Booth, a
citizen Of Wisconsin, who had been arrested
by United States Marshal for obstructinS
the operation Of the fugitive slave law, and
who had been taken from the custody Of
tue Marshal By writ Of habeus corpus
issuing from Tue Supreme bench Of the
State. The Wisconsin Judges, dcenaing Judge
Tapey's mandate an infraclioc Of the sovereign.
ty Of Wisconsin, calculated 10 impair the power
ofthc State to protect its citizens who have
been found guilty Of no crime, refused to allow
atranscript Of the record to be made. Matters
were thus brought to dead lock, mud so they
have remained ever since. Mr. Kellogg, the
Clerk Of the Court, was, VIC believe, summoned
TO Washington to answer for contempt, but he
refused 10 60 and took care not TO be kidnnp-
ped By any parties hound that way.
