Prompted by an honest desire Of my heart I wish
to lay before the public case which deserves a COM
incubation not only as an act of scientific skin, but
that of humanity also. About two years ago / sud
denly, and from causes unknown to me, was seized
with fit OF Epilepsy, which, owing TO my inability TO
meet the expenses consequent upon thorough medi-
cal treatment and the discOuragement which I met
with on attempting it, soon became such (as was then
led to believe) rs 10 defy the skill of any ph, scan
was frequently, while 10 pursuit of my calling, thrown
doWn TO the ground without the slightest warning; and
although insensDle to the agones, l yet despised the
mseries of my life, and soon learned to look upon
those who would render assistance or shelter me from
danger as enemies who sought prolCng the existence
OF my miseries. While in this state, and having, pre-
vous to my atIlicton tasted the sweets of fe once
more was induced to attempt seeking aid of physi-
can, and by recommendation. called upon Dir. l.. j.
Czapkay. told him Of my circumstances, and of nv
inability to reward him for his services regardless of

which enjoy at present, and yet conscious Of INV in

to make the case public in order that those in need
ofmedical advice may d a physician in whom every

A Desperate Movement.

An extraordinary effort is making TO
arouse the apathetic black republican par
ty into something like animation. To the
present moment every appliance has been
n failure, and stolid Indifference seemed to
be fixed upon the ranks where, before the
Chicago convention, counlcnances BEAM
ed with enthusiasm. Something is now
proposed which must effect n change for
the better else the hopes of the most zeal
Gus will soon sink below zero. The plan
now proposed is to enlist party of boys
to make clowns Of themselves, with odd
caps and capes; and these will be expect
ed to induce the sober ones to grin at least,
while the boys do the yelling which will
be supposed to mean enthusiasm for Lin
coin. Tonight an organization is to be
attempted, and We shall soon know how
many boys will be persuaded to play a
farce for the diversion Of the older ones.
Boys do not generally need great amt
of coaxing TO engage in any sort of fun,
especially if men stand by to pat them
on their backs and encourage them with
the idea that it is respectable, and after
years reveal the demoralizing fruits. Pos
sibly the older ones who have given the
influence Of their names to promote the
organization OF Wide Awake Club will
enlist, but we suspect that very few of
those who have joined in the pledge to
organize this relict of acknowledgment,
will venture farther than to coax the boys
to do what they do not care to do them
selves. We shall see.

Booth Rescue,


Every instance of violence and resist
ance to law which is enacted in the South
ern States, is grccdily seized upon by The
black republican papers, and published as
evidences Of the barbarism Of Southern
society. Let us now see how they will
treat the last outrage upon the laws of
the United States by thor own deluded
partisanl The notorious Booth, of Nil.
waukee, who had been sentenced to pay
line of one thousand dollars for his re-
sistance TO tho lawful authorities Of the
government, in default of the payment of
the fine has been imprisoned, for some
time past, in the Custom House, at Mil
waukee. Various efforts have been made
without effect, by his abolition friends, to
eyado the authority OF the United States
by means of habeas corpus. AT length
having utterly failed to get any relief by
the forms of law, band of Abolition
desperadoes, to the number of about n
dozen, armed themselves, invaded the
Government Custom House, and, after
having intimidated the jailor, forcibly res.
cued Booth from the custody of the law
and spirited him away. These are the
men who constantly prate about the law
lessness, brute force and barbarism of the
South
AS to the mere liberation Of Booth
that is small matter. There are few
who will not rejoice that he is free, and
under such circumstances that the good
people Of Milwaukee will be free from his
delightful presence in the future. But
while such is the case, no good citizen will
refuse to aid in bringing 10 justice the
lawless and unsafe men who thus rescued
him by armed violence. If such disre-
gard of all law and authority is tolerated
or winked at North or South simply be-
cause the connected party is suffering the
penalty of an unpopular law, then, indeed,
have we ceased TO rest secure of sinole
right, and are left to the floating whims
Of the popular will and popular caprice.

GREAT DOUGLAS MEETING AT
ST. JOSEPH, MICH.
From 5000 to 5000 people present.

From 5000 to 5000 people present.!
The largest and most enthusiastic
meeting ever held at ST. Joseph, came off
on Wednesday evening. AT halfpast six
the steamer 81. Joseph left Niles and
steamed down The river in beautiful style,
the democratic cannon rolling its thunder
from the bow. On arriving at Buchanan
a crowd of some 800 were loaded into q
keel-boat and were taken in tow, on they
proceeded to Berrie., where but few got
on board, the main crowd having gone
with teams.
The sight as they came into st. Joseph
was said to have been truly beautiful
Two steamers had arrived from Chicago,
loaded, and st. Joseph was alive with hu-
man beings. There seemed TO be no end
to their coming, with banners waving and
huzzas after huzzas for the Giant of the
West. Some estimate the crowd at 5000
tho lowest at 5000. The speaking was
commenced by Mr.. VanBuren at 2 p. NJ,
and for more than an hour he delighted
the thousands present. Mr.. Stuart spoke
with good effect. Mr.. Muzzy followed,
making an earnest appeal to the old line
wings TO be consistent with the principles
inauguratcd in 1850 by Henry Clay (which
were the principles of Stephen A, Doug
las.
A torch-light procession more than a
mile long came off in the evening, after
which Mr.. Muzzy spoke for an hour to an
enthusiastic crowd.

When the democrats went out of pow
err in 1854 the entire State tax for the
year was but $4,000. This was merely
a nominal sum when assessed upon all the
property in the State, and the payment
of his share of it was not felt by any man
to be burden. The black republicans
came into power in the beginning of 1855,
since when the State tax has steadily in
creased, until it is now more than $780,
