DEMOCRATIC COMPLIMENT TO LU-
THEIR HAN CHETT.- is something new
for the Appleton Crescent to speak well
of political opponent, hence it is with
little surprise that we see the follow
ing in that paper:
Luther Hanchett, a talented man
and worthy citizen, has received the
Shanghai nomination for Congress in
the Western district Of this State. We
congratulate the people of that district
upon the advance step taken by Shang-
haism, as manifested by this nomina-
ton.
Mr. Hanchett has q popular compel
itor in the person Of James D. Rey-
inert, and we doubt not the Democra-
cy will spare no pains to give him a
full and hearty support; and if, as is
possible, they should fail to elect their
candidate, they will have the consola-
ton Of knowing that it has been done
by the ahlest and most honest man ev-
er represented for Congress by the Shang-
hais of Wisconsin.

From the New YORK Neus.

NOTHING SINCE THE FOUNDATION OF THE CITY
OF New YORK has produced the excitement
among all classes that Prof Woods II air Re-
storative has done. All classes from the gray
and bald-headed sire, and the silver haired
matron, down to the sprightly youth and beau
tful maiden with her glossy ringlets, are
crowding the Depot at No 3l2 Broadway; the
former to be permanently restored, and the
latter to possess themselves of that which will
prevent the inroad of envious time, and cause
the appearance of youth and beauty to lingcr
to the greatest age. Besides all the popular
Druggists in the country are constantly en-
gagged in dealing out the Restorative to their
customer, land the cry is still they come"
CAUTIoS-Beware of worthless limitations,
as several are already in the market. called by
different names. Use none unless the words

St. Louis, Mo-, and New York., are blown in

Medicine dealers, also by all Fancy and Toilet
Goods dealers IN the Uaited States and Canada.

FRIEND BRUNDAGE:-I have been
endeavoring for sometime past to find
time to let you know how cold Rock
is prospecting, but business has caused
me to defer till now.
The farmers of this county are feel
ing finely over bountiful harvest, as
indeed, all have reason to throughout
the State. What we want to make us
continue to feel happy for the next four
years is 'Honest Old Abe" for Presi-
dent, which [ think is certain. The
Republicans in Rock Go. are determin-
ed that their ticket, this fall, shall re-
ceive greater majority than ever be-
fore. One thing is uery true, that the
name of Hon. Luther Hanchett BEING
placed upon the ticket has strengthen
ed it by hundreds in the I'd district, es-
pecially in this county, he being the
choice of q majority Of the party. Mr..
Hanchett won for himself many laurels
while in our State Senate. He was the
leading man, was chairman of the Ju-
dietary committee for two years.

lonal district could be found a man SO

ONE-NINTH OF A Man. General

ONE-NINTH OF A Man. General
Nye, at the Seward reception in Mad
ison, thus illustrated the practical work
ing of Squatter Sovereignty:
Douglas i'll recent speech asked one
of his followers if he did not consider
himself a sovereign? The man replied
atfirmatively. "Well," says Mr.. Doug
las, my great principle gives you the
right of a sovereign in the Territories. ="
"Hurrah for Douglas" Now let us
examine this matter and see Just how
much sovereignty Mr.. Douglas really
has in his great p,inciple.'' We will
suppose We are i'll Kansas. Now the
election for Governor comes off to-
morrow, and [ say to this Douglas
man, l suppose you are going to vote
for Governor tomorrow "W ell. no :
the fact is that the bill relieves us Of
all that trouble by providing for the
appointment of Governor by the Pres
ident." Not for the Judges? ''No
the bill saves us that trouble also; but
we have right to elect members of
the Legislature" Well the executive
power is vested in the Legislature and
Governor, and this favorite bill Of your
Popular Sovereignty Douglas provides
that the Governor appointed by the
President shall have Il veto power over
the Legislature, and that no bill can
become law except by his signature
unless passed over his veto by two
third vote. Now, the President APP
points the Governor; that is one-third
of power; the President appoints the
Judges; that is another third of power;
and the Governor appointed by the
President has power equal to two
thirds Of the Logislature-leaving you,
my friend, o1ae-3a5nth looaoer Of q man,
and this is the "G-RE-A-T principle'' OF
Douglas

The LITTLE JoKFR.-On the first of

States, said: 81 am for q reduction
Of tue tariff to strict revenue stand

TENT, that zee can carry ii, and at
the same time collect money enough TO

than q revenue tarif.
The other day at Harrisburg, Penn,
where he thought he could make few
votes, according to the telegraphic re-
port, he entered into defense Of the
protective policy, especially as applied
to Pennsylvania interests. Did the
world ever see such spectacle? Now
you see it-now YOU don't-where is
it? When shall the end OF such things
be?

Brownies SPEECu.- Mr.. +. 7

Brownies SPEECH.- Mr.. f. L.
Browne, of Waupaca, addressed a fair
audience last Wednesday evening"
Owing to tremendous rain-storm, the
hail was net quite filed; but we were
happy to see SO many Democrats in at
tendance. Dir. 3. stated he was q
Democrat i'll principle, and had always
been one. To substantiate this propo-
sition, he quoted largely from Jefferson,
Jackson, Buchanan and Douglas, on
various subjects. The authorities he
cited made some of the Democrats
present vince and wiggle in their seats
He proved Douglas to be any and eve
rything-good Lord and good Devil
to catch votes. His principal witness
to condemn Douglas was Douglas HIM
self; and that he succeeded most ad-
mirably, the frequent outbursts of ap-
plause from his auditory, proved most
conclusiyely. His speech was one OF
the keenest, most logical, and most sar-
castle with which our citizens have been
favored
We learn that after the meeting adj
iourned, the wrath and excitement of
the Douglas men vented i'll denounc-
ing the speech as utterly devoid of
truth and true citations Of the record.
They say he quoted wrongly and al
most every statement made was I'M
founded In fact. Their candidate for
Assembly had the documents in his
pocket TO prove their assertions. If he
has, we would request it as favor that
he review Mr.. Brownies speech thro'
the columns of the Reporter. Come,
now, don't stand on the street corners,
or in the by-ways, and make accusa.

ALLEGED KNow-NoTHING SPEECH
"A late number of the Courier DIES
LstatS L32js, published in New York
City, and Douglas paper, contains
what prrports to be speech delivered
ed by John N. Wilson, who is u Re
publican candidate for Congress in In
diana, in which he takes strong Know
Nothing grounds. This speech fur
nishes our Douglas friends food which
passes of: in aci,aa and gas They
howl it to our foreign born citizens as
one Of the principles Of the Republican
party, when in fact one Of the planks
in our platform reads as follows:
a. That the National Republican
party is opposed to any change in our
Naturalization Laws, or any State leg
islation by which the rights Of citizen
ship hitherto accorded to immigrants
from foreign lands shall be abridged !;
and in favor Of giving q full and eff
cient protection to the lights Of all elias
ses OF citizens, whether native or natu-
rallied, both at home and abroad.
1t is instructive to remark that in no
other paper have we noticed this speech
or extracts from it and had it been
really delivered, no one will doubt that
the English Democratic papers would
have been teeming with extracts from
it in the vain endeavor to prove that
the Republican party affiliates or SYM
pathises with the Know Nothing par
ty. We have not the slightest doubt
that the whole speech is forgery. If
any Of our contemporaries know any
thing relative to this matter, we wish
they would Brighten us; and if John
II. Wilson did give utterance to the
sentiments published in this French
journal, we hope his own party will
turn in and clean him out effectually.

s| The gathering at Chicago on
Tuesday last, was the largest ever
known in that city. The number pres
ent is variously estimated, from Is, 900
to 100000. The Wigwam was crowd
ed to overlooking, while the large open
space surrounding the building was
filed with people, unable to gain ad-
mittance. Senator Seward addressed
the masses from a platform outside the
Wigwam, for an hour and half. His
speech was received with the widest
enthusiasm. The torchlight process
sion IN the evening was the largest
demonstration Of the kind ever witness
ed in the West, no less than ten Mous-
end Wide Awakes being in the ranks.
