Fish Dying.

In July there was remarkable mortal
ity among the fish in Winnebago Lake.
Wis. The account says:
AT Menasha innumerable particles re-
semoing bits of green glass, moss or
weed, had collected on the surface and
where the water became agita,ed foam
as of soap suds was made, emitting very
disagreeable odor. In two or three weeks
small fish, tad poles, lizards and crabs in
immense numbers rose to the surface in
perpendicular position gasping for life,
and rolling over on their sides died. By
the nighr of the first day the fish
began TO die the shores were lined
with them. and great stencil arose, and
and then large fish began to die. The
shops on the water power were forced to
close, and all hands went to work remov~
ing the dead fish and over three hunIred
loads were removed. and the shores OF
the outlet of the Lake for a half mile
was still lined with fish, and it is ,stima-
ted there were one thousand wagon
loads.

Republican Meeting,

The Republican meeting held at the
Wi;wam on the 22d inst, to listen to
speech from Hon. John Carey, was
largely attended. Mr. C. spoke about an
hour and quarter during which time
he maintained the wrapt attention of the
audience. He reviewed, in an able man
ner, the position of the several political
parties on the various questions at issue
between them: spoke of the corruplions
Of the Administration, and the means
used to effect the passage through Con-
gress of odious measures, urged upon his
hearers the importance of selecting hon
est men to gil the various offices, and to
be ever watchful of the rights and liber-
ties of the people, and to beware of de-
signing and office-seeking demagogues,
let them come from whatever party they
may. The speech gave universal salts.
faction to the Republicans, and, so far as
we have ], armed, to the Democrats who
heard him. All were convinced that
they were listening 10 an honest man, the
"noblest work of God" Let those, who
care more for the interest, the prosperity,
the honor of the country than they dc
for party, see that Mr.. Carey is returned
to Congress by an increased majority
He deserves your confidence and your
votes. Fremont Journal.

GO TO WORK,

While the Democrats of this town and
county are as busy as bees, and strainiug
every nerve to retain the ascendency in
this county, as we'll as IN this Congress
lonal district, we are very sorry to be
compelled to note the criminal indiff.r.
ence manifested by the friends of Lincoln
and Hamlin. Our friends are setting
about congratulating themse upon the
brilliant prospects they have of electine
their candidate for President in Novem
Der, but they forget that the skirmisb
which is TO take..place on the second Tues.
day of October will have much to do with
the termination of the final conflict in No.
vember.
Gentlemen. if you would triumph, you
must work-not only every day, but every
hour of each day, from now until the
second Tuesday in October next. If you
have neighbor over whom you think
you have any influence. 60 to see him
Immediately; do not wait until the day
of election-it is poor time to reason
with a man when the excitement and tn
multi of battle is raging around him.
Friends awake! arouse! shake off the
dew drops that glitter on your garments
and on to victory! Let no soldier in the
ranks of the gallant old Abe be found
sleeping at his post. -

The Vain-GIorIous Douglas,

The vanity of Douglas is very well il
lustrated in little incident which occur
red at Boston a few days ago, on the oc
casion of the visit of Douglas to that city
AS the squatter candidate for the Presi
dency was walking down one of the rriu,
cipal streets of that city, he observed ,
bare-footed boy, who had stumped hi.
toe-and as usual in such cases, it was E
toe that had been frequently previously
stumped. Mr.. Douglas stepped up to tn,
little shaver, and placing lis hand on III.
head, addressed him: "Now, sonny
don't cry any more. Run home and tel
your ma that Stephen A. Douglas, the
great champion of Popular Sovereignty
put his band on your head"

Contempt for Poor Men

1t seems natural for a Democrat to hate
poor white man. Wigfall thinks him a
criminal; Hammond calls him a mudsil!;
Green denounces him as one of the laza-
roni; johnson thinks he ought to be a
slave; and Delusion Smith, of Oregon,
Joe Lanes late partner in the United
States Senate, in late pnblic speech in
Oregon city, said:
81 auould rather be a decent mans niq-
ger at the South, Man q poor achue lahore,
at the North."
Ii there is decent man in the South
who wants sucA niger as the author OF
this, Ne will confer favor upon Oregon
by sending there for him at once.

TIE UNION ON JOS. A, MAXWELL,


10 show how this world of ours is civ-
en- to lying and what contemptibly me sn
things some people will resort to in po-
lltical campaign, it is only necessary to give
place TO the following cx!rac, from an ar
ticle in the last number OF the Democrat
ic Union. of this place. In speaking ol
MIR. Maxwell, the Republican candidate
for Clerk, that unscrupulous sheet says:
Gle believes with Mr.. Clemens in Civ
ing to the negro all the rights bestowed
upon white people. He believes the ne
gro has right to vote-the right of rep
resontation in the councils Of our govern.
ment-in fact he believes that there
should be no more limit to the rights o.
negroes, than that which wl.ite people en-
joy"
Now. to those who know our friend
Joe, it is unnecessary to say that the p.
bove is falsehooG of the blackest dye
manufactured from the whole cloth, and
the writer must have known that his as
scr:ions do not contain one word of truth
He knows that Mr.. Maxwell is a conserv
alive old line whig. who believes that the
free territories Of this country should be
dedicated TO free labor and not cursed Will
the blighting influences Of slave labor, and
that hence he is opposed to the extension
Of slavery over one foot of territory now
free. He does not believe with the Dem,
ocralic party, that the Constitution of the
United States carries slavery into the ter
ritories.
But, then, Joe has the audacity to dis,
pute the claims Of one of the Berry fam
ay to county cffice, and this sheet con.
s'ders this just cause for making hin
the subject of these malicious falschoods
They can run for as many offices as the,
please in this county, but neither they moi
their tools shall abuse as good men as J OF
Maxwell with impunity while we hav.
power to use voice or pen. We have nc
objections to any Of the Messrs. Berry.
personally but we do thiak they have hao
their full share of Office in this county,
and because man happens to be a can
dictate in opposition to one of them is ne
reason why he should be thus lied upor
and misrepresented.
Notwithstanding the organ and mouth
piece of Curtis Berry, jr., is thus engaged
in vilifying the Republican party of this
county, he is around every day soliciting
Republican votes and bossting of how
many he will receive, but we are much
mistaken if the Republicans are such dun
ces AS to thus lick the hand that smi.es
them.

Anything for u Change.


Said guest--at the table Of a land
lord who did not know how "to keep ho
tcP'-turning to the waiter and reaching
out his cup, "Here. boy, if that is tea
give me coife, and if that is coffee, give
me tea; anything for change" So it
was in 1910 with large class Of voters
who were identified and had acted with
the Democratic party, but who could not
sustain the corruption of Van Buren's
admnistration-than which none has been
more corrupt until that Of James Buchan-
an. Those voters made no noise about
the matter, gave perhaps, no public ad-
hesIon to the Wing party. but quietly
dropped their ballots for Gen. Harrison
On the principle that there must be a
change. In no other way can tho vote tha:
overwhelmed the Little Magician in
that memorable contestbe accounted for.
The same feeling is at work in 1861
w tn but rare exceptions, no man-sav
ing and excepting. of course, Federal of.
ice hoiders--pretends to defend this Ad.
mlnistraIion. and no Democrat, of either
wing, save now and then an ineorrigibe
party hack, pretends, in private, conf
dental talk, to sanction the course of the
Democratic party in relation to the Kan
sas>Nebraska policy, from its inception IN
the repeal OF the Missouri Com promise
down 10 its attempt to out-I.ecompton by
the passage of the ''English swindlc."
Utter condemnation of this Admins.
traton, and distrust of Douglas, hav.
worked the complete alienation of thou,
sands Of voters, who will make it mani,
fest only by the silent but omnipoten
power of the ballot. They know Bu
chanan TO be corrup'; that Douglas i:
desperate and inconsistent; they see tha
steadily, under Democratic rule, does In
voluntary Servilude tread upon the heel:
of Free Labor; they feel that the Demo
cratic party have been hewers of wooc
and drawers Of water to the Slavery
agandists;that the blacks at the Soutl
are Slaves, and the Democrats at th.
North are Peons--one perpetual'y en-.
shaved, the other, at least temporarily
bound to their exacting masters.
Under this grlevous burden, even Dem
ocrats groan and sigh to be delivered, ane
adopting for their motto "anything for ,
change" thousands will vote for Lincolr
and Hamlin who do not rank thems selvc
among Republicans.

THAT LIBEL SUIT.

We have been informed that tie Hon.
Col. w. P. Noble, Esq. attorney-at-law,
candidate for Congress, &C.. &C.. is real
ly about institutiDg suit for libel against
one W. T. Wilson, editor of neat little
family newspaper, known as the "Wyan-
dot Pioneer"
Well, all we have to say is, that the
said Hon. Col. Esq, is greater Jooly
than ue even supposed he was, and that
a man who is blessed with SO little brains
and so limited an amount of back bone
should never have been permitted by his
friends to enter the political arena.
Now, fellow citizens, what has been
the extent of our offence? We have sim
ply reiterated a charge made by and with
the authority of the Legislature Of the
State of Ohio, published at the expense
of the State OF Ohio, and endorsed by
every Democratic paper in the State of
Ohio, at the time of its publication.
But, then, this suit is not intended to
vindicate the character of Noble against
the charge, but for the purpose of preven
ting the facts from going to the people, by
intimidating and muzzline the press Of
the Ninth Congressional district. We are
mistaken as to the character of the edi-
tors Of the district if this dastardly at.
tempt does not recoil upon its author and
cause him to hide his head in shame be-
fore an outraged community.
The PEOPLE SHALL HAVE THE
FACTS, though an hundred libel suits
were instituted-we, for one, are not to
be frightened from the path of duty by
any man who is afraid TO face the respon-
sibility Of his own acts. If the BRES-
LIN and GIBSON investigating commit
tee have deemed it their duty to connect
his name with the TREASURY DEFAL-
CATION, that fact SHALL Be
KNOWN, "though tie Heavens should
fall" He shall not hide it from the peo.
pie by this attempt to place the letters
upon FREE PRESS.

lie Will Not Answer.

S. A. Iouglas, the Stump Candidate
for the Presidency, when at Augusta,
Maine, WAS handed civil question, in
writing which he was requested TO an
swer. The question was whether Ter-
ri,orial lie legislature could prohibit Sla,er y
or whether it could not be pro! ibited un-
til the Territory was erected into State
A pain question and simple question,
but ore which,, he "Litile GIANT dare no'
answer.
This circumstance recalls TO mind one
which occurred at Wooster in Is 9,when
Douglas recited his Harper article, with
an addition about "Jerry Black" An
old, white headed gentleman, who had
been honored with seat on the stand
with the hope Il o. he might be converted
from the error of his ways, took the lio-
erty TO ask Mr.. Douglas whether iu his
opinion slavery was moral evil. In
response Nj. Douglas was proceeding tc
remark that it was the business of the
people Of Kentucky to have slavery o,
not, as they choose, &c.
To this the old gentleman says: "You
are not answering my question, Mr.
Douglas, l know all about that. Blu
what is your opinion, is slavery moral
and political evil?" To this plain, s;mpl.
and direct question. despite the gray hair:
and the age and respectfully Of the
questioner, Mr.. Douglas replied: q ou
may thank me, Mot l do not ruJuke you .tot
your impcr:inence.
The impcrtinence consisted in wan,in:
Mr.. Douglas 10 say whether slavery wa
rigl or wrong. He has never + d
put an opinion on record. And he ueveI
will answer the question addressed Il
him in Maine.

The Congressional alApPortionment A under
the New Census.

he eCouSIesSlohal lAPPOrtlOnment under
the New Census
The aggregate number of Representa-.
tives in Congress is not fixed by the Con
stitutlon, which simply requires that the
number OF Representatives shall not ex-
ceed one for every thirty thousand in-
habltants, and that each State shall have
at least one Representative. The mum.
ber OF Representatives. in fact, has varied
under different apportionments; but by
the act of Congress in 50 1t was fixed
at 233, and that will be the number to
control the next apportionment. The
present actual number of Representatives
is four larger. namely, 237; because,
since the apportionment of 1859, one
additional Representative has been al
lowed to California, two to Minnesota
and one to Oregon. But this temporary
increase will cease with the Thiry sew
enth Congress, for which elections are
made this fa'l, and the appornonment
under the new census will restore the
number to 233.
The aggregate representative popula,
ton, as is well known, is ascertained in
the words of the Constitution, "by ad-
ding to the whole number of free persons
(ncluding those bound to service for a
term of years, and excluding Indians not
taxed) three-fiiths of all persons" In
other words, the aggregate population of
the whole Union. slaves included, is di-
minised by a deduction of two fiflhs of
the number Of slaves. In 1850, the ag-
gregate free population was l9,s47 sol;
the slaves were 3,2OO,634; and the rep
rescntative population was accordingly,
91.766. 1918. This number, divided by
233, gave the ratio 93.421. already men
toned. 1t is generally expected that the
aggregate population under the present
census will be found to have increased to
thirty or thirtyothree millions for the pur-
pose of the pportionment, making the
Constitutional deduction for slaves, it
will probably exceed 3O,OOo.ooO. Diyi-
ding this by 233, we shall have about
l28, 500 as the ratio Ger Representative.
