Tho public will observe in tue abstract Of i
decision Of the Supreme Court Of Wisconsin,
published elsewhere, that the yexcd question
Of tho constitutiona1ity Of certain town and
county bonds issued for the benefit Of railroads
in that State: is at last settled in taror Of the
bondhoadc's. This decision is IN act Of public
justice and wisdom which will be worth every
thing to tic State in a Iecuniary point Of view,
while it reflects higll honor on the bcnc1, from
which it was pronounced It may not lie a
compliment to any people to invest them with
panegyrics because they do not rcpudiate their
'lcbts-nor to any court, because it decides that
they ought not to repudiato them Yet the
fact remains that there existed an obstinate
purpose to repudiatc, and that to that end,
public opinion was brought 10 Lear with no little
lorcc On the courts, iu certain localities.
Tho simple existence Of this suit-Dus1.ueu ys-
The To,cn cf Bdo.I-is evidence Of the rurposo
referred to- in tl.at part Of tue State. Otllcr
suits on the Supreme Court docket, bear tcsti-
tnoay as to other localities. Aud hence we
say that the decision now rendered reflects no
little credit on the Judges who delivered it, and
that it places Wisconsin again in the rank Of
lcbt-paying Suites where she is entitled to re-
ceiyc, and will receive, the confidence Of mon
eyed men.
AS TO matter personal to ourselves, r.
'erred to by the Madison SMte Journal, we
have. 10 say that our informant in the first in

the Racine and Mississippi R. r. The infor-
nation WIS conveyed to US in casual con-
versation, but it is proper TO say that l,c did
not pretend to have received his information
from either Of the Judges. He was, however.
satisfied Of the correctness Of tie authority
from which he had derived tltc news. This
scutlcmau's large interest III the suit as bond
holder, and his high character among the peo-
pie of Southern Wisconsin, seemed to us a tcl-
cradle guaranty Of tho authenticity Of the r,l-
NOR. We presume the Madison Journal will
not dcny that the report lad gnincd consiaera-

of the sort appeared in our columns.

tracted and divided, and many of its members
sought refuge liz the ranks of the SO called

Where the splendor first falls from the wings OF
the morning,
And away in the West, over river and plain,
Rings out the grand anthem of Liberty's warning!
From green rolling prairie it swells to the sea,
For the people have risen, victorious and free;
They have chosen their leaders, and bravest and
best,
OF them all is Old Abe, Honest Abe Of the West!
The spirit that fought for the patriots of old
Has swept through the land and aroused us for
ever
In The pure air of Heaven standard unfold
Fit to Marshal us on to the sacred endeavor!
Proudly the banner of freemen we bear;
Noble the hopes that encrce it there,
And where battle is thickest we follow the crest
OF gallant Old Abe, Honest Abe of the Vest
There's trinmp h in urging glorious cause,
Though the hosts OF the Toe for a while may be
stronger
Pushing on for just rulers and holier laws,
Tall their lessenlng columns oppose us no longer.
But the loud pean OF men who have past
Through the struggle of years, and are victors
at last;
So forward the asgl leave to Heavep the rest,
And trust in Old Abe, Honest Abe of the Vest
Lo! see the bright scroll of the Future unfold!
Broad farms and fair ctiss shall crown our devo-
Free labor turn even the sands into gold,
And the links Vt her railways chain ocean TO
ocean;
Bargcs shall float on the dark river waves
V iia wealth never wrung from the sineTs Of
slaves,
And the Chief, in whose rule all the land shall be
best
Is our noble Old Abe Honest Abe Of the West!
Then on to the holy Republican strife
And again; for a Future as fair as the morning,
For the sake of that freedom more precious than
life
Ring out the grand anthem of Liberty warningl
Lift the banner on high, while from mountain
TO plain
Tho cheers Of the people are sounded again;

On which to place poor little DOUG;

His coat tail comes too near the ground.
Wen give them HAM enough this fall,
To satisfy them ne and all;
Served up in style quite neat and plain,

of North and South byirreconcilable differences
of principle, and bleeding from wounds inflicted
within their own household, yet there is one
common bond of union that will rally their
discordant forces when all else fails-ihat is,
ssthe cohesive power of public plunder."
Our cause is worthy Of an earnest, united
effort. Our languishing industry, our home
less laborers. our bankrupt treasury, cur ma
tional tranquility and National hoaor demand
it. With early, systematic and thorough or
ganization, by which the truth can be dissemi-
mated in every section of the State, We cannot
fail to triumph Let the efforts of our friends
be thus directed without delay, and in whatev-
er shape and under whatever flag our oppo-

the Keystone State will give decisive victory
to our cause, alike IN the State and National
