Alamakee.
A correspondent Of the Lansing Demo-
crat gives an account of spirited Demo
cratic meeting lately held at Ion or Bunker
Hill Allen Scott presided, and Thos. Kill
len was Secretary. Mr.. Fellows, of Wau-
kon, R. Scnsebaugh, of Volney, and John
B. Suter of the Ridge, did the talking
Well bet "Uncle John" give them an orig
inal turn that did their souls good
Messrs. Stoneman and Noble had dis
cussion at Waukon a few evenings ago
Noble compIacently observed that he did not
often have the pleasure of meeting Dem.
ocrat in debate, intimating by this that our
speakers were afraid Of him. Reuben is q
good man, but then he shouln't tell such
yarns for effect. Baugh, Stoneman, Ham
mer, Peet, Potter and many other speakers
Of Clayton county, will attend to him al
any time.

MAINE.-The returns from Maine do not
prove so well for the Republicans as was at
first reported. The latest account we have
seen places the probable majority of Gov
ernor at less than 10000. Fremont over
Buchanan in 1855 was nearly 10000
Some curious figures are shown in this cleo
tion. In 80 the vote was in round num-
bers, Rep. $1,000, Dem. $4,000, Am. 5000.
Total, 100000. In 1860 it was Rep. TO-
900, Dem. $4,000, Union, 1000. Total,
$4,000. This shows an increase of 49,
600 votes and the Democracy count four
teen thousand Of the increase. This GER
tainly does not prove that the opposition
are gaining, and if Maine is an index of the
other northern states the Fremont majoritics
will be lost in most of them. .

DRowNED.-Mr. Dennis Wall informs us
that he assisted, on yesterday, to take from
the river at Clayton City, Iowa, the body
of ROGER McDERMoTr, late of McGrcgor
The deceased purchased ticket about a
week ago for st. Louis by the Northern
Line, but got on the Galena boats by mis-
take. He was put off at Clayton and went
on board the Maquoketa City. He slept all
night on the barge attached to her and in
the morning was missing. 1t is supposed
he fell off in the night and was drowned.
We regret to say that the deceased in
dulged too freely in liquor.

A late Milwaukee paper, in setting up
the business houses of Rees block, West
Water Street, says the block is occupied by
some of the heaviest and most liberal
wholesale dealers in the West. In the or
der Of occupied rooms, the paper proceeds:
Nos. and comprise the wholesale gro
Gerry and commission house of that liberal
and popular dealer, Austin Gunnson. No
establishment is better known to the peo-
pie Of Wisconsin, Southern Minnesota and
Northern Iowa, and none drives more
fourishing trade with those sections than
the one of which we speak.
No. 0 is occupied by j. w. Hoyt, whole
sale dealer in wines and liquors-the place
where Pat Richardson goes when he comes
to the city, to "get little for the stomach's
sake" Pat says that Hoyt is the best fel-
low, the cleverest gentleman, in the West
that his liquors are of the same quality,
and we are not inclined to doubt his word.
West Water street is beginning to take
its position as one of the principal business
streets of the city, and none is doing more
to give it prominence than Mr. Rees, and the
AASA WIN oSSupy AAo AAt'S3iAASShS hS" oAoch.
By what authority these Milwaukee edi-
tors drag our name into their illustrations
of business prosperity in that city, we don't
know. We invariably go to the American,
play game of billiards with the old Judge,
hunt up all the editors, call on East Water
street en- naasse, stroll over to Rees' Block,
find Gunnison, get our pocket filled with
cigars, and our heart buoyant with cviden-
ces Of friendship from all the b'hoys, Aus
TIN included, and--sometimes we pull
HoYT's latch string. 1t is always "out,
but the misfortune is 10. is always tout"
too. We never found him at home but
once, and then he was just leaving for the
West, to visit lady acquaintance at La
Crosse. TO the best of our knowledge the
vessels in Hoyt's liquor establishment are
Theoretically sealed" We know his liquors
are good because BRICK" M1NcKLER, PoT-
TER, and others who drink, tell US so; but
as for experience in any thing but lager, we
Indignantly scout the insinuation.

PoETRY.--Our friends continue to favor
us with articles which they call "Poetry"
We are willing to be indulgent to young
people in their poetic and prose compo-
sition but as general rule we advise every
body to write prose well before they attempt
to play with poetry" Poor prose does
not read SO badly as bungled verse.

A Preacher.
Rev. T. NJ. Eddy, Of Chicago, calls on the
President of the United States to protect
Methodist preachers who go into Texas to
quarrel with the shareholders Of that State.
The Reverend politician wanted to obtain
little notoriety and he did not hesitate to
expose his ignorance and his spleen by call
ing on the President to regulate the people
of that State in their mode of furnishing a
violation Of their social security. fla slave
owner were to arrive at McGrcgor and CON-
uaence an offensive denunciation of the
people of Iowa because they were not in
favor Of having slaves here, we guess he
would quickly be invited to take passage
down the river, and on failure to accept the
invitation he would be waited on to the
wharf People do not like to have stran-
gers come into their houses and ridicule
their domestic arrangements. This is q
latitude in ''Free Speech" which no spirited
man or selfrespecting community will
tamcly submit to, and when northern d.
vines or fanatics cross over to the south to
dcride the customs there and promote rev.
olution among the blacks, they should be
treated as all other mischief makers are
The cloth has covered many knave, and
never has it protected worse set than are
those who intrude their advice where it is
not wanted and use their positions to stir
up such elements of strife as the devil in

ing knowledge to our first parents
