the improvement with energy.
For PIXIES PEAK.-Some forty or fifty
Of the citizens of this and adjoining coun-
ties, left Richmond on last Tuesday for

Legislative.

We are indebted to Senator Andrews
for tho following information:
The Legislature have made no provision
for the continuation Of our. Rail Roads,
This is deeply to be regretted We had
hoped that our Representatives would have
adopted some feasible plan for the compile
ton, at least of the Main Trunk from. the
Southern Line Of the State, to st. Cloud
or Grow Wing: They had no wciyhty
responsibility to assume in the premises,
as any plan they could hyc adopted would
have been constitutional amendment,
and therefore subject to a vote of the pco-
pie. We think that in this matter they
have committed grave error.
The new law for the government of
counties strikes us very faverab]y. It
provides for three Commissioners in the
sparsely settled counties, and five where
the vote exceeds 500. The counties arc
to be districted, and tho Commissioners
arc not to remain in Session more than
fifteen days per annum, and their compcn.
sation is: fixed at sl:50 per day.
The three years Redemption law. has
been sent to the Governor, as it originally
passed the Legislature. r.. .~ -,,

The Illinois Money.

A letter from the State Bank of. Wis
consin, dated Milwaukee, March list, and
addressed to Thompson, Paine & Go. of
this city says:
"There is no danger Of any of our Banks
being discreditcd. Those that are winding
up have three years to redeem their circu-
lation in, after the expiration Of that time
the bills are worthless, but there are very
few in circulation.
NJ. S. SCOTT, Cashier"
Another letter from the Chicago Bank,
to the same firm Of this city, says:
f'Therc is no trouble in the city about
Illinois currency. The Banks started by
Thompson have still sufficient securities
over their issues to pay dollar for dollar,
although their margin is somewhat under
the requirements Of the law; 10 per cent,
over the circulation We anticipate no
trouble at present. The Banks may or
may not meet the cali; the issues never
thcless will be good unless avery heavy
decline takes place on the secunties."-

suffer tao 4 uditor to wind them up, rather
than comply with his demand. Their Sc

The following banks in Wisconsin are
represented by the Comptroller of that

Mrs. S. read her lecture with clear,
steady voice, and very calm and collected
manner, and it was attcnti7ely listened to,
occasionally interrupted with applause at
the bits of satire and sarcasm intcrsrcrsed
through it.
The line Of argument, as far as We
could catch it, was designed toShow, from
numerous shining instances recorded in
sacred and profane history, that wemcn
have mingled in politics without losing
their feminine attributes and the respect
of men, in all ages, and have made wise
rulers, correct Legislators, and even great
generals. As far as tic politics Of this
country are eopcerned, they hare resolved
but into ono 4uestion-nieger or no mig
gcr-that it has absorbed all other aues-
tons, and, is: ono ep which tho women Of
the country arc certainly able to take a
position, as the whole partition between
the two parties of the day is the perpetu-
alton Of the "womcn whipping" institu-
ton Of the South Mrs. S. dashed the
pro-slavcry, bred Scott, Fugitive Slave

tween the Northern and Southern portions
Of this conlederacy, has long since been
dissolved All that was precious in the
Union-,hc harmony and pcace-thc uni
ty Of sentiment, of common interest, of
natural love and affection, has long since
ceased to exist !! In fact, the union be-
tween the North and South has dcgenera-
ted into mere nominal atfair-a political
scntimentality- something which derives
its principal importance now from the fact
that Southcrners> use it to bully and scare
the North with, and to institute Union
meetings, and produce Northern devotion
to Southern interests 49,,
What mockery it is to talk about the
union between the North and the South,
separated as they are in interest, feeling
and sentiment! And how foolish it is to
allow the stars and stripes to float above
the yawning cl,asm! The South need
never expect to scare us into terms, with
their disunion cries. We sec nothing but
compromise with sin in the Union, and
nothing but political strength and prosper
ity out of it. , .,:.>
Of course, we wish to hold no party
responsible for what we say, Or our opini-
ons upon this subject. We speak only
for ourselves and as VIC think for the cause
Of Humanity: believing, as we do, that
Slavery is crime existing under the
Constitution, and protected by its provisi-
ons; the sooner We rid ourselves of the
responsibility Of that crime, tho better
We do not wish to be found aiding and
abctting the institution Of Human Slavery.
We do not wish to live within its contain
mating influences, to be protected by pro-
Slavery laws, and exist in the midst of
pro-S Slavery institutions. =.
God hasten the day that, whether in or
out of the Union, VIC may be still:outside
the pale Of Slavery! =. II. -. ~

The Franking Privilege.

.
For thirty years: past the Democracy
have had it in their power: to abolish this
privilege at almost any Session of Congress:
but the mails then served their purpose to
circulate poison, and SO they preached econ
cmy and practiccd extravaganza, and
laughed at the "dcar people," who were
fools enough to foot the bills and vote the
Democratic ticket. But no,v when Pres
idcntial election is approaching, and the
people want facts, and the Republican
members Of Congress arc disposed to ac-
commodate them, and the Slaveocracy
have the Treasury and all the Offices, and
can raise funds in another way to distrib-
ute their documents, We have the cry Of
"down with the Franking Privilege"
Th: plea is economy, the motive Glove
Of darkness rather than light.
AS the Mail contracts arc made, signed,
scaled and delivered, and the prices for
carrying "Unclc Sans" big leather bags
arc fixed, VIC don't suppose that the change
would save dollar to the Treasury for a
year to come. But we arc very certain
that the people know enough of the Mu-
latte Democracy now, to insure their de-
feat in November, and the measure may
result in ultimate economy: so let it pass
say we. We can stand it it they can. *

! cd cholera symptoms, as i: had done once
last Summer. Before daylight, Mrs. Cole
sent for DR.. N. N. Bemis, who remained
with me all the morning and forenoon,
keeping up very active treatment, and all
the time it was very doubtful how the
case would end, but early in the afternoon
the symptoms yielded. The Doctor, proud
to be one of Libcrty's old vanguard-a
Birncy man in '40-and for sake of the
cause, would receive no fec, except copy
Of the DEMOCRAT. SO, put him down on

bargain and sends in his bin for reading
it.

and then it will be just as easy to go for

upon talking to the people Of Minnesota
before the coming insanity o: the next
political campaign, that 1 cannot readily
give it up. I want to see Minnesota free!
to see the day when slave cannot
breathe the air of the North Star State
Ono has gone to his farm, another to his
merchandise, and there appears to be no
one to plead the cause of the poor and
needy. Those who arc in bonds arc to
be forgotten in the 'tgreat tssues" to come
before the country. The slave mother is
to be robbed with immunity; Christ's little
ones arc to be bought and sold, as usual -;
and the rights Of normally free men are,
alone, to he considered and who is to
stem the current Of selfish policy which
is bearing everything away? This Yves
tern vineyard has no laborcr to spare and
little as l can do, it is oN for which am
accountable. So, cannot give up this
tour until fully convinced that by no care
can I preserve sufficient strength to get
through with it.

DISUNION.

Disunion seems to be a chronic and
almost universal complaint among the
politicians of the South. Through their
public presses, in their Legislative assem-
blies, at their public gatherings, at home
and abroad, in public and in private, We
hear them arguing the probabilities of dis
union, as if that was the only question in
which they were interested. Living as
We do, so far from the sources of such
threats. We could not he expected to be
very strongly exercised upon the subject.
Indeed, We are of that number at the
North, who do not think that dissolution
Of the Union would work such fearful
consequences, after all. We rather coyct
the consequences Of such an event. Un-
der existing circumstances, we believe the
North would be much better off out of the
Union than in it. The South entirely
wastes its threats of disunion upon our
ears. What is there so sacred and valua-
bic in this "glorious Union," about which
so much is sale, that it should be prescrv-
ed when the necessity for it has ceased to
exist? Why should newspapers weekly
venti1ate themselves of their wordy obse-
quiousness to the fortunes of the Union,
as if it were our only safety? Is the
Union something which is to be worship
ped and preserved, at the expense of the
citizen In our view of the subject, the
Union Of these United States is entirely
matter of public policy. 1t is the crea-
ture of those whose purposes it subscrvcs
It has no excellence per- Sc, but derives all
its glory and immortality from the good it
confers upon those over whose destinies it
exists. AS work of antiquity, it has no
claim. It is without strength or durabili-
ty, as to time. The Roman Republic,
after centuries Of rcvcrses, stood firm as
the Apprentices; while this Republic has
grown blear-cyed, and gray, and palsied
within the scope of century! 1t is a
failure as work of art. What sculptor
would ever have fashioned out of the spot
less marble tue fair virgin face of America,
and then with malicious daub, fastened
the ID blotch, and foul and sinking
sore, Of American Slavery upon it ? The
Union was compromise Of principle to
cxpedicncy; in the first place; and now
that cxpcdicncy threatens the utter ami
hilation Of principle, it may be we'll to
pause before the final sacrifice. .,' =. "a:
But why should we fear the dissolution
of the Union? Indeed, the union be-
