~It is not over the great things Of
this life which mortals stumble. A
rock we walk round, mountain we
cross; it is the unobserved, unexpected,
unlocked for little sticks and pebbles
which cause usto halt on our journey.
The blind may run against rock and
not fall; but put small matter in his
way and he will stumble over it.

The Popular Voice.

The Popular Voice.
The Douglas Mass Meeting in New York
City, last Tuesday, was one of the largest
and most enthusiastic ever held in this
country. Speeches were made by Richard
son and Logan of H., Cutting and Field of
N. Y, Watterson of Tennessee, Foote of
Miss, Marshall of KY, Larrabee of Wis,
and many distinguished orators and states
men from other States. Douglas and Pop
ular Sovereignty resolutions were passed
and the Slave Code men and Seceders Bit
terlydenounced. Caleb Gushing and John
Van Buren, were present, and it was evident
that the leading minds of New York and
New England were convinced that Douglas
was the peoples choice. The whirlwind of
public opinion will demand the nomination
of the Little Giant at Baltimore, and the
handful of plotting politicians who are op-
posing him might as well attempt to stem
Niagara's ficrcest tide with flat-boat, as to
meet the current of popular feeling in favor
of STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS! His platform of
principles is recognized as the corner stone
of our liberties, the basis of our government,
and he, as the embodiment and exponent
thereof, is enthroned in the hearts of the
people! .'.f. s-Ft--.rE

How Happy!

How Happy!
The Lincoln men are as happy as could
be expected in view of the certain defeat
which awaits them, but the friends of Sew
ard are bordering upon despair. Their ef-
forts to give Lincoln cordial support are
decidedly unique; the wry faces, woe-be-
gone, despairing looks, groans Of anguish,
and rage, excite the liyeliest sympathy of
all beholders. Their presses orators, lead
ers, and workers seem disheartened, dis
couraged, hopeless. Although the name of
Lincoln floats at the mast head, they can
not conceal the chagrin, the sorrow the in
consolable Indebtedness, which the slaugh-
ter Of Seward has caused them. To claim
that the mass of the Republican party
''heartily ineorse" Lincoln, would be silly !;
the Chicago Journal, the Boston Courier,
the Albany Journal, in fact nearly all of
the ablest and most respectable Seward Or
gans have commented upon the ticket, and
the manner in which it was made, in terms
which, coming from Democratic sheets,
would have been denounced as rabid and
unfair. That the nomination of Lincoln
was made at the expense of Seward, that it
has chilled the hearts of Republicans in a
majority Of the Northern states, and des-
troyed what little vitality the party may
have hiterto possessed, is too evident for
denial.

The Emigrations.
The emigration at this point is very de-
cidedly increasing. Capt SHERwIN informs
us that the past week showsa gain of about
two hundred per cent. on the week previous
and there is reason to believe that the tide
has just commenced. Ninety teams, most
ly those of new Corners, with two or three
yoke of oxen each, came over one day last
week. The number of cattle, COWS and
oxen, landed at this point by the NJ. & NJ.
r. R. Ferry during the week past week ex-
ceeds five hundred! Iowa and Southern
Minnesota will reap the benefits of this in
flux of capital in property and labor. We
notice that almost every emigrant wagon
has from two to six yoke of fine looking
working cattle, with about the same num-
Der of mich cows, and the whole in charge
of stalwart, healthy men, assisted.by stout
looking wives and mothers and from four to
twelve of the little ones" who, in their
turn, will soon form significant class Of
western men and women. We are pleased
to notice this rapid increase Of Iowa's wealth
and population, and are certain they could
have found no better home, and the State
no surer road to greatness. VIZ 81 @@

Weather, Markets, &c.
Fine and frequent showers have blessed
the land since our last issue, and the crops
are glorious. The grain all stands well, the
dry weather of early spring having been IA
tai to cut-worms and other devils that prey
upon vegetation.
The market for wheat since Tuesday last
has been variable, as low as SO and as high
as s1,OO having been paid. The weekly
receipts arc reported to us at about 5000
bushels per day. Oats less abundant and
corn not worth. mentioning. We observed
on Thursday and Friday last scores OF
Norway teams from Minnesota points over
1870 miles away. The team arrivals, per
week, at this point will number about 1000

Our merchants are selling goods here at
lower rates than any point on the river, and
the prices paid. for produce at McGrcgor are
above all comparison with rivals. A reduc-
ton in Freights to flee cants from McGregor
to Milwaukee from this date (sec advertise
ment) will still farther benefit those who
sell their grain here.
On Tuesday wheat sold at 96 to 90; oats
at 90; corn no quotations.
At Milwaukee the price of wheat for sew
cral days from 81 90 to 81, O5 and no activ-
ity. The export demand in New York is
light and buyers everywhere seem indiffer-
eut. Flour sold at Milwaukee on Saturday
at $4,25 to $500. The money market in
western cities is easy at 10 to IL per cent.
Cattle are low in New York and dull at
Chicago.

Those desiring this safest and cheapest protec.

Wisconsin Company. 1t has already become,
in reality, State institution, having Agents
and patrons among the best business men in all

ger matter of doubt that Life Insurance can
be conducted as well in Wisconsin as in Connec-

Thus while duty demands that men should
insure their lives, 1t also demands that they
should keep their money for investment at

more than equal to that of the most "unprece-
