NJ r. Seward.

Sute oh UoaTu, Calleu quite crowd 10 the
landing AS there was neither band nor
flag on the boat we did not suppose the
great man was on board, and hence did not
start to the river till the ALEXANDRIA was off,
Mr.. Seward was called for by the crowd
and after some delay came out with news
paper in his hand, cigar in his mouth and
his hat on, looking as uninterested as man
surfeited with applause may be supposed
to feel. Three cheers (not very heavy)
were given for Seward-thcse were ac-
knowledged by scarcely change of mus
Gle. Gen. Nvc also showed himself but
spake not. Mr.. Seward stated in ,ow
tone that he had lost his voice up the river.
The "meeting' seemed so very dry, that
D. Baugh called for "thrce cheers for Judge
Douglasr' These were given with a will
that indicated pretty decided Douglas
crowd. Mr.. Seward retired to tn, cabin,
and in few moments the boat moved off.
The Republicans who were present COM
plain of the course pursued by Baugh anil
the Democrats, but Baugh insists that Sew
ard exhibited an indifference to the crowd
on shore that demanded rebuke Our
style of hailing the distinguished man wo'd
have been different, but it must be rcmem-
bered that the election feeling is growing
pretty hot; Mr.. Lincoln's friends are trav-
cling over the East and West denouncing
Mr.. Douglas in all the coarsness of Ian
guage which refined scholarship enables
them to hunt up; Mr.. Seward himself is
not visiting the West as a Senator of the
United States, but as a partisan adpocate
OF Republicanism, and has little right to
ask political amenities. More than this
it is fresh in the recollection of the elder
Democrats that Douglas was mobbcd at
Chicago by the Republicans and driven
from the stand, and that the Tribune in it's
issue of Sept. 4. 1854 held the following
language
Leave for two hours your work shops and
your labor, and turn out once more to give
a final blow to the Traitor This will be
the last struggle! Defeated in this he will
never raise his head again.
The Douglas cabal if the crowd at the
Park is small, as they anticipate, and their
own numbers preponderate, intend to offer
a series Of resolutions, endorsing him to
the fullest extent CITIZENS AND SAILORS,
tu,n out Do not permit this to be d ~!
You CAN PREVENT II AND YOU WILL DO 1T.
This was day or two after the mobbing
was done.
We do not like any interruption of a
public speaker, nor do we approve of any
indignity offered to an opponent, but when
you see great agony in the Opposition
papers about the insults offered to Blair in
Missouri by Border Rutfians," you can
point to the Republicans of Chicago, to the |
mob appeal of their organ, the Tribune, and
tell the contemners of Democratic violence |
that however aorong such conduct may be,
the Republicans are not exactly the men
who should reprove it.
Prairie du Chen Democrats.
On Saturday night last the Douglas Ran
gers of the Prairie had a splendid turnout
The Democrats of McGregoc were invit ID
to join them, but by blunders on that side |
of the river and on this the notice was not
well circulated, and but thirty or forty at.
tend,d. Under other circumstances two |
hundred would have gone across the river
Arrived at Lower Town, we soon saw |
coming, a blaze of light made by $50 torches,
and large transparencies, accompanied by
the Band, and telcgraphed occasionally by
Capt. DORIS young America beautiful
little brass cannon Of very loud voice.
Following the torches was a large cavalcadc
of horsemen and carriages, the whole max
ing splendid appearance. Col Thomas,
a veteran Old Line Wing, was chief Mar
shall, LLOYD HARRIS, Esq, and others un-
known to us, were aids. AS the procession
passed the McGr,gor delegation, cheer upon
cheer went up fo. Douglas Il Johnson
The Marshals drew up their columns in
line, and after reciprocal cheers for McGreg
or and Prairie du CHEN, Judge Baugh and
John L. Stoneman were called on, and adj
dressed the Rangers in BRIT, able and in
teresting speeches. The band enlivencd
the exercises with patriotic airs, Young
America beloved approval of tho sentl-
ments, the crowd We're enthusiastic for
Douglas, and the whole passed off glori.
o"sy. The procession then marched to
Dousman's Hall, where the exercises were
continued to late hour.
The Rangers promise to visit our town
some time before the election.
Life Insurance.
The successful career of the Mutual Life
Insurance Company of Wisconsin, located
in Milwaukee, proves conclusivly that our
citizens know how to appreciate Il philan-
thropic movement, when presented to them
with candor and truthfulness. Not quite

has now attained position that is truly a
proud one.
TO those proposing to effect Life In
surancc, we would most earnestly solicit
their attention to the claims of this institu-
ton, believing ir they thoroughly investi-
gate the merits of this Company, they will
find the advantages greatly prepondcrate in
its favor over all other Companies, demand
ing the attention of our ctiz ms. Having
long been conversant with the principle Of
mutually embraced in the Mutual Life In
surance Companies of N. Y, and adopted
by this Company, we claim for it bright
career; as its Policy Holders already ex-
coed 600 in number. And having been
permitted to look upon the list, We found
there recorded the names of many OF our
best citizens. None are so poor, but what
something can be done toward Life In
surance, and none but will acknowledge its
exccllency. Professor DeMorgan has saisi,
''thcre can be found no security equal to
the security afforded by well organic d
and properly managed Mutual Lite Insu-
rance Company" We have in our midst
agents for stock companies ready to take

of security upon our own SOIL around our
own firesides, that will tell to our children
our acts, when we shall havo passed away.
