Gives 1T up.
The notorious New York Herald gives
up the game. In the divided and de-
moralized condition of the disrupted
Democratic party, it says there is net the
ghost of chance for either faction.
And as its hatred of the Republicans is
intense, it has hoisted the Bell and Ev-
erett flag in the forlorn hope of damage
ing them in that indirect way, But it
won't win. The tide has turned in too
unmistakeable manner toward the Re
publican ranks, to be arrested by any
means that even the bad genius of Ben
nett can put in operation. The popu-
lar will has designated Lincoln as the
next President, and every day adds new
indications that he will be elected by an
overwhelming majority.

The Harvest.

The Harvest.
We have made inquiry from all parts
of the county in reference to the wheat
prospects, and are happy to annouce that
the promise is much better than was an
ticipated two weeks ago. It is true that
the weevil has committed considerable
depreciation in many fields; but we learn
of whole fields that two weeks ago were;
given up as wholly destroyed, which
will tnrn out a fair yield That which
is not destroyed is unusually good
Upon the whole, we are satisfied that,
taking the whole county, there will be
an average crop. Corn and oats prom
Use we'll, The peach crop will be very
abundant, and of apples, fair supply.
The prospects are much brighter than
they were some time since.

an advance was poor. Ezra Redding is in

writes tnat the quartz mill business is losing

still of the opinion that proper exploration
of that country will prove it to be very
rich in gold; but the prospect is blue at
present.

The Question

The Question.
The political qestions of the day are re-
duced now to this: "Are tho opinions of
the SUPREME COURT of the UNITED
STATES entitled to as much respect as the
various platforms of contending parties ?"
The Democracy, in their adherence to the
Constitution of our country are weak
enough to admit that the decisions of this
august body of men are paramount to the
ipss di1;t of all village politicians. The op-
position ridicule the idea that the venerable
lights of Jurisprudence who compose the
National Bench, know as much about our
system of Government as the pin-feather
orator of their village Club.
Common sense knows which party is
right and common sense is doing the voting
this year.

Life Insurance.
Those desiring this safest and cheapest protec-
ton for their families, can secure it in our
Wisconsin Company. 1t has already become,
in reality, State institution, having Agents
and patrons among the best business men in alf
the principal towns in the State. 1t is no lon:
ger matter of doubt that Life Insurance can
be conducted as well in Wisconsin as in Connec-
ticut or any other Eastern States.
Thus while duty demands that men should
insure their lives, it also demands that they
should keep their money for investment ut
home. Confident that our success has been
more than equal to that of the most "unprece-
dented," we would cordially invite all our citi-
zens to call at the office, south west corner of
Main and Wisconsin streets, and examine for
themselves. S. S. DAGGETT, Prest.

the mass of the Democracy in the Southern
States would bolt Douglas and vote fol-
Breckenridge, and we noticed statement ir
late number of Greeley's Tribune to the
effect that there are only one or two infu
entail Democratic papers in the slave States
who support Douglas, thus swallowing it
own words of week before, evidently fol
fear that it had made confession danger

these; every Democratic paper in the South
supports Douglas and johnson except those
which are sustained by Government pat.

1t is true that ccl tain journals in the South

supporting the Seceder's ticket; but they
are not Democratic papers, they are advo.
Gates Of Slave Code, are in favor of Con.
gressional intervention with the affairs OF
the Territories, warning continually against
the doctrines Of Popular Sovereignty and
the whole creed of the Democratic party,
and are no more Democratic papers than
the N. Y. Tribune, or the Boston Journal,
or any other organ of the Republicans in
the North.
In Alabama, for instance, all the leading
Democratic papers have openly declared for
Douglas for President. In Missouri, Geor-
gia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and other States
which Republicans quote as sure against
us, the Democracy are strongly for Doug
las and johnson. In Virginia, the pros
pect is most encouraging The Tenth LIE.
gion Democracy are enthusiastic for the
Giant of the West. 1t should be borne in
mind that Western Virginia furnishes the
bulk Of the votes for that State, and her
representatives at Baltimore, sent there
under the old apportionment, represented
the most populous district of Virginia, and
they staid in the convention, refused to Sc
cede, voted to nominate Douglas, and the
masses of Virginia will endorse that action
at the polls
From the Chesapeake to the Gulf, the
Democracy are true to the Constitution and
the Union, and their brethren at the North
will unite with them to crush forever the
hydra of Disunion and Fanaticism from
our country.

John H. Klippart, scientific as we'll as
practical farmer and chemist; it is devoted
to an examination of the two important
staples, Wheat and Corn. We have given
the book as close an examination as ou1
time would allow, and it is our opinion that
no farmer should be without it. Mr.. Kip.

$40 to enclose in letter. X. enclosed it,
laid the letter on the desk and went to

out while Killan's back was towards him.
Some one saw Strait go into an old cellar
Killan went to the cellar and noticed fresh
earth in one corner-on scratching away

Manufactured CAPITAL.

The N. Y. Herald, always in the market
for bid from any candidate, is making it.
self as favorable to Lincoln as possible. In
its enumeration of presses that go for
Douglas it counts two in Iowa, four in Wis
consin, four in Michigan and so on through
out the States. In its summing up about
an equal number is credited to Douglas and
Breckenridge. This style of giving ZEN
couragement" to the opponents of the Dem
ocratic nominee is very base, but it is also
very Bennett. In Iowa there arc not less
than sixty-five papers for Douglas and not
one for Breckenridge. In Wis. there are
probably seventy to one or two. In Mich
igan all the Democratic papers are for
Douglas, and so far as we can learn the
statement of the Herald is nearly as false
in its pretended reports from the South.
In Missouri thrty-two out of forty-five pa
pers have already declared for Douglas
In Kentucky the proportion is nearly as
great and however the Republican press
may misstate and the purchased editors of
the Administration may hurrah, the Demo-
cratic press of the Union is falling into line
for the regular nominees. Knowing the
statement of the Herald to be false, that
excellent paper, the Milwaukee Sentinel,
copied it. Does not Gen. King know that
there are more than .tour Douglas papers in
Wisconsin, Is Republican success de-
pendant on such fimsy falsehoods?
