Swell boeofns, s1ce1 with patriotic fire
Letevery u0ics proclaim our herois fameJ
Let hill and vale re-echo to his name.
Ask We the reason OF these spark ling eyesr
These heaving breasts and loud-appaudng criesf
IL Behold yon homegrown meath that sylvan bower
Its joy at morn, its peace at ev'ning hour
And list the tale the hoary veteran tells,
While youthful FIRE his sinking bosom swels.
Ny children Ito the loved ones on his knee),
A hero's deeds now recount to thee:
8 while vet we aroaned beneath tyranic woes
While yet oppression bid US wear her yoke,
And blood hounds scourged with ruthless stroke
While dark despair begloomed our nations sky,
Nor gleam of hope mid all could we desery;
And marshaling that weak but noble band,
Bid bold defiance to Brittania IS wand
Long did we strive-the weak against the strong
Enduring pains untold by human tongue.
Portentous omens spoke Of future gloom,
& And over all portrayed our nation tomb
Yet bold and dauntess 'mid the gathring stife,
With hunger, famine, and privaton rife,
Our valiant chieftain stroye with noble mein,
And pointed forward to the futures sheen.
FUN Oft the bullet Of tutored foe.
Or deadly shaft hurled from the red mans bow,
: Had scathed our hero in their viewless speed
Or pierced the vitals of his jaded stecd
ButGod enclosed him with mystic shield,
And lead him victor from the battlefield
But tr.lsting him who doeth all things wen.
H bravely fought, and despotism fell" -
His story told the veteran turns awny,
And bids his children g go again to play"
But no, their young imaginntons TEEN
Z with deeds heroic, and the battles CLEAN;
And quick the held in nanged cOrpses strow
Thus young life these plastic hearts taught
To love the hero who freedom boug ght
Hail students hail this memorable day
And join with US in patriotic lay;
. Forget awhile your quaint and rusty books,
The tutors frown those aigebraic crooks
With fitting embems cothe hero's fame,
And chant glad peans TO his deathless name;
And when Napoieons memry long hath died,
And found burial meath oblivion's tide,
The rip'niBg fruits of his long tolls shall bloom,
and watt sweet incense o'er his honored tomb.

CAMPHENE.-T Cincinnati Gazette of last
Friday gives nearly column against the use
of camphene and burning fluid, and insists up
on it, that the only safety is in not using it at
all for lighting purposes and so say We
We consider it just as dangerous in a family
as a free use of gunpowder and when the sell
ers of burning fluid tell you there is no dan
ger, don't believe them. We who see the
newspapers, see every day announcements Of
horrid deaths, caused by the bursting and
breaking of lamps and cans of burning fluid.

More Concentrated Lie"

Iae Tribune Of Tuesday evening, in re-
ply to some structures of the Madison Pa
riot, has the following statement:
A short time since we mentioned that
lot of drunken worthless brutes were 90
ing through the streets hurrahing for
Douglas and yelling ike wolves. Scarce
ly resident of the Village but knows
that We told the truth, and it is still fur
Their evidenced by the fact that they were
arrested and lodged in Jail, since which
time 1t has been remarkably quiet here
Now We assert, and can prove, that the
above statement is entirely false, and had
no foundation whatever except iD the ~
ing pen and brain of the Tribune editor
There are no drunken worth less brutes !"
IN this county, who belong 10 the Demo
clatic party. 1t is true that when the I'M
promptu DOUGLAS ratification meeting
was held in this place, the streets were
noisy with shouts for DOUGLAS but those
shouts were not from the threats of drunk
en- men. But upon thats evening there
were drunken men shouting for LINCOLN
and amongst them men of standing and
influence in the Republican party +; one, at
least, very superior in mental qualifications
to the Tribune editor But we do not
call this man worthless brute, for we
know him to be man of character and
influence, who is not in the habit Of ex
cessive drinking, and only drank then to
get up stimulant and enthusiasm, to make
up for the apathy of the rest of his party.
The Sheriff assures US that there has been
no arrests made in this village for riotous
or disorderly conduct, and that that por-
ton of the Iri5une's statement is utterly
false
The Tribune assets that their office
was purposely burned down four years
ago. That story is simply absurd. The
Tribune never welded any influence in
this community that any one feared. There
was no feeling displayed toward him ez-
ce' pit good natured ridicule. The Demo
Gratis were glad when he went over to the
enemy, and in consequence increased the
Democratic majority nearly 400 in the
County.

Calumet County Trade.

The grain crop of that fertile county
will be unusually large this year, and a
very considerable surplus will be sent
away to market.
Where will that surplus 90 to? What
market town will reap the benefit OF the
trade of that county
Looking upon the map we find that the
County of Calumet is directly west OF
Manitowoc County; and judging only from
the geography Of the country, the natural
inference would lie that Manitowoc is the
natural and inevitable outlet for the sur
plus farming produce Of Calumet County,
Yet thefact IS hat not one busbel of grain
rai-od in thaa County, will find its way to
this place. Tor this thare is a cause, ana
cause that should shame the property
holders and business men Of our village
There is 10 passajle road from Man
itowoc west-no road fit for heavy team
inc. Not because nature has thrown any
considerable obstacles in the way, bat be-
cause the people of Manitowoc, individu-
ally and collectively, have neglected
and refused to interest themselves in the
construction Of a good road from this
place to Chiffon, while the people of She
boygan have displayed far sighted enter
prise and liberaIity, by building a good
plank and gravel road, nearly the whole
distance from Sheboygsn to Chiffon !. and
thus tapped a principal source of trade
which naturally belongs to Manitewoc.-
One-tifth part of ths money expended in
grading the streets of the village would
have built good road into the heart Of
Calumet County.

A strong re action in favor Of Douglas
S taking place in the South and southwest.
Senator Brown, of Mississippi, became dis
gusted With the Breckenridge movement
! before he eft Washington. Senator Green
Of Missouri, after reaching his home and
finding the Democracy almost unanimous
for Douglas, falls into line and announces
his intention to support the regular ticket.
Green has stood shoulder to shoulder with
Davis in the Senate, against Douglas, and
was selected as chairman Of the Commit
tee on Territories. The 81. Louis Demo
erdt, the republican organ of Missouri, feels
decidedly bad over Mr. Green's proposed
course. 1t says:
The dictator of the Missouri Democracy
the Missouri Reputlican-anneunce
the submission of Senator Green. It SAYS
that he has openly performed "Aatoo"
somewhere in the interior, by p!edging
himselfin public meeting to support the
Douglas State ticket This is the great
est conquest which our de.potic cotempo-
rary has yet achieved. Senator Green has
been the head aud front, the rock and
strong tower Of the Breckenridge move
ment in tAis Stots. Through his instru-
mentality mainly, were Hancock johnson
and Monroe Parsons put on the track ag'st
Clay bourne Jackson and Reynolds. The
Senator's detection, therefore, is the great
est encouragement which esud possibly
befnll the movement in Missouri
The effect of Green's extraordinary
course viii be felt far and near. 1t is
equivalent to a declaration on his part that
the Southern States are not justified in Sc
ceding from the Charleston and Baltimore
Conventions. 1t is in fact a recession of
the whole ground to the men.

The State Reform School at
WaukeSha.

This much needed institution has been
at last formally opened by the usual cere
monies ofspeaking, feasting, &C., and ma
ny of our exchanges contain highly fiat,
tering notices of the speeches made on
the occasion, bat we nowhere see any
mention made of the author of the law es.
tablishing that school for Juvenile often
ders.
A great and necessary reform has been
inaugurated in our State,in the treatmentot
offenders agans; the law. Instead of the
punishment policy heretofore practiced
upon all grades and ages of offenders. an
attempt will be made to reform and edu.
cate the youth of the State, who BY bad
example, neglect, or privation, have been
driven to crime; and by salutary course
of instruction applied to their moral and
intellectual natures to fit them to become
useful eirizens.
This is step in the right direction, land
worthy of q humane people. But it is
not the State officers who were pres
ent and oficiated at the opening ceremo-
MES that are to be credited for this reform.
In the legislative session of 1857 a bill for
the establishment of the State Reform
School, was introduced in the Senate by
the Hon. EDWARD O'NIEL, of Milwaukee,
and the bill, as introduced by him, with
very slight amendments, became the law.
Mr.. O'NIEL, in that as in all his legislative
career, proved himself to be humane and
practical legislator, and is justly entitled
TO great credit.

eignres and Catholics.

The Catholic Irish followers of Mr..
Douglas, no doubt iustigated by their
priests and bishops, do right to turn out
and give him "an enthusiastic reception"
in eech place through which he PASSES in
his Eastern tour. We cannot but believe
that the rushing of these msn to do Kim
honor, while Americans by birth and
principle stand aIoof, is bad policy, and
will reset upon Mr.. Douglas prospects
elsewhere. People will continue to ask
Thy it is that Mr.. Douglas finds it neces
sary to violate rule which all Presiden
tiaI candidates ought TO observe; and in
stead Of initiating the dignified example OF
Lincoln IN remaining at home, sets out on
lis electioning tramp, heralding his own
qualifications for and claims TO the Pgesi-
dency as lie goes; they viii be further aHX
ious to know why it Is that Of tie crowds

play and this continued blathering about
himself, for the benefit Of the Catholic ele
ment of our population, viii produce a
feeling of deep disgust.
We copy the above from the Chicago
Press and Tribune, the leading organ Of
Mr. LINCOLN in the United States and the
undoubted exponent Of his personal politi
cal opinions, and we defy any one to pro
duce in any Know Nothing papers ever
published in the Union, an article showing
more bitter hatred towards foreigners, or
more hostility towards men On account Of
their religion. And this is from the organ
Of the party, and the candidate claiming
human equality as the fundamental princi
pie of their political action. "OnIy Cath
olics and foreigners would be guilty of
these actions; Americans by birth would
be above it."
The doctrines of equality as taught by
themis this; Negroes are equal to White.
Aspracticed by the same party all men are
equal except Catholics aud foreigners
these are below the Negro.

The CONTEST AT TIE SouTH.-The Phil
adeIphi Press has the following in regard
to the approaching contest at the South ::
A more sublime contest than that which
will take place from this date in the South
ern States could not be desired BY the sin
cersst friends Of the Union. Able men
will be on the side of the secders, and
more than one gifted and misguided intel
lect will lend himself to the dark plot Of
breaking up the Confederacy, But from
the Potomac to the Neuccs-from the
Ohio to the Gulf-eloquent and intrepid
patriots will be enlisted under the broad
banner Of the Union. We shall lock to
Virginia to sound the key note; to Gov
Letoher, and TO Harris, and to Pryor and
hosts of others, to give the word to States
born Of her loins, and following the teach
ings of her great headings. Tennessee will
be NELL true to her allegiance by George
W. Jones, Andrew Johnson, William Ii.
Polk and j. Knox Walker. Louisiana
will be held by Sonl,, Morse aud Cover
nor WickIifIe; Kentucky by John c. Ma
son; Georgia by Alexander II. Stephens
and HerscheI V. Johnson Alabama by
Forsyth and Houston; Arkansas by Rust;
Missouri by Krum and CEayborne and
King; and Maryland by Rsverdy Johnson,
Henry May and r. II. Brent. This is a
glorious array to begin with and we pre-
dict that their ranks will swell into an ar
my that will sweep the enemies Of the
Union into an abyss from which there will
be no resurrection. The contsstin the free
States will be nothing to this. The battle
will have to be decided in the South For
the first time since the days of Jackson,
the standard of disunion has beeu boldly
unfuFled in that region. The issue is the
existence of the Contedsracy the contes
tants the abl.st men in the country the

4 HARD H1r-The Chronicle of the
Vest, German paper published at Rock
Island, thus informs its readers of he orr
gin of the "wide aRakes"-a name orig
inaIly belonged to plug-ugly association,
such as use the awl on election days in
Baltimore. The Chronicle says:
Tho gentlemen of the "Wide Awake
Club" who are now so zealously blowing
their horn, do not appear to know what
historical "reminiscences are attached to
this name. The title wide Awake"
first acquired notoriety in 1854, when it
graced those bands OF natiyests, who some
what later acquired such celebrity under
the name of "Know Noth;ngs" Persons
who lived 10 New York in 1854, will re-
member the outrages which those white
hated leafers, who called themselvs "WI2s
Awakes," repeatedly committed upon the
Germans of New York, Brooklyn, and
Williamsburg. For the sake Of decency,
the Republican battalions should have
adopted different cegnomen.

Judge s. L. Rose.

One of our Republican exchanges, boast:
of the conversion to republicanism Judge
S. l.. RosE, of Beaver Dam; who is de
,cribed a, a well-known, and Influential
Democrat.
Mr.. Ross has not acted with the Dem
ocracy for over four years. He was cleo
ted to the Senate as Democra. in 1855
but in 1856, being doubtful which party
would be successful, he did not vote at all.
At the session of 1857 he lodged vote
upon every party question ceuling before
the Senate and the Democratic Lcgisla
tive Caucus, by unanimous vote, struck
his name from their roll, where it had been
placed By bis request. lie was thus turn
ed out Of the party in January, 1857, and
it is not surprising that he should have ia
ken refuge with the enemies Of the Dem
ocrscy. If the Republicans can make any
capital out of man who was drummsd
out of the Democratic camp, they are well
come to him; but we protest against their
claiming him as either fugitive, or dessr
ter, for he is-politically-infnitely below
either character.

CHASGELINGs.-Nothing can be more
supremacy ridiculous than the vanity OF
men who have neither notoriety or infu-
ence, rushing into print to make an
nouncement to the public every time they
change their political rrGudjces;; as If the
public knew or cared in what manner IT, at
one vote had been cast heretofore, or wo'd
be cast hereafter. They are always the
men who have not the talent or virtue to
gaiu place or reputation honorably aud
no.eriety Of some sort is essential to their
happiness, they make public boast of their
treason, in the hope Of being praised by
their new friends, and abused by those
with whom they formerly protested to
sympathize. A few men Of that charac
ter in Madison have been airing them
selves lately BIT they can never dignity
themselves into the position Of traitors,
for, never having been trasted by the De
mocracy, there was nothing for them to
betray except their own weakness and van

were fired for the nominees. Hon. Nm.

Southern Democracy, II is now evident
are perfectly willing to support Douglas

ready in the field in Alabama. One Is
being formed IN this State, and also in

tickets in every Southern State Except,
perhaps, South Carol;na,J in less than

The Prospect in this County

We hope that the Democracy of the
State will not feel any fear for the result
Of the election of President, in this Coun-
ty, in consequence of the detection ef the
Herald, for there will not be voters enough
following that boiling sheet to make per-
ceptibe difference in the County. There
is not one man in the County who was
considered reliable Democrat six months
age, but now supports DouGLAs, and the
only Democratic papers in the County
that haue heretofore welded any influence
the Pilot and the Nord Hestern-are
both doing their duty to their party by
sustaining the regular nominees for Prssi
dent aud Vice President, DoCGLAs and
Johnson.
