l. Didn't you strive to have inserted
in the democratic platform q doctrine that
had been rejected in previous convention
and never inserted, or even offered after

l. Did you not know, when you went
to Charleston, that difference of opinion
existed on this doctrine, and that t would
not be adopted without dissension in
the party /:
8. Did not the highest authority in
your faction-the Senate of the United
S'ates-decile that there had never been
any call for the application Of this doc
trine, and that there was 40 call for ii
now
i. Did not the vanguard Of your party
walk out Of the convention when the
Cincinnati platform, adopted unanimously
by the party was readopted
8. Did not your partlzans in Kentucky
vote fifty seven times to make Mr. Guthrie
the nominee for President on the platform
adopted thus pronouncing it sound enough
for them and their candidate
6. Did not your partizans vote fifty
seven times to make Hunter the nominee
on that same platform, considering it good
enough for them and him
I. Did not the rest of you leave the
convention on a mere question Of organi-
zaiicn, that a majority had right TO de-
termite, according to custom in all de-
Ilibera bodies

ton and leave the majority, or did the

Anecd Ote Of General Jackson.

Judge DOUGLAS having stated, few days
ago in Virginia, that he would treat the
Disun:onists in the same way Gen. JACK
SON did the Nuliiers when he was Presi-
dent reminds us of an anec,!ote of that
great man.
During notification in South Carolina,
after General JAcKsoN's proclamation, the
Governor Of Virginia sent a request to the
President, in case it became necessary to
send United States troops down South, not
to send them through that State. If he did,
they would have to pass over the Governor $
dead body. The President received the
message, and replied: IF it becomes me-
cessary for the United States troops to go
to South Carolina, l, as commander in chief
Of the army, will be at tn ,ir head; will
march them by the shortest route, they
may pass through Virginia; but, by the
Eternal, if the Governor makes it necessa-
ry to pass over his dead body, it will be
found that will have previously taken of
both his ears.-St. Paul Pioneer.

The South I'm Breckenridge party and the

old Janus.eyed Buchanan himself to look
at them b6sh at the same time.
1t seems that Mr.. Seibels, of the Mont

over the head Of young Yancey. If he
had broken it over the head of old Yancey,
we would have sent him new one.
The editor of one of the Breckenridge
organs boasts that the Opposition party ir

the case, we guess that he'll witness tho

CALLS. DR.. PARKER, of the Lansing
Democrat, called on US Monday. The
Democrat is in flourishing trim, and we
trust its light may never be less. Its last
number contains review of the Lansing
business houses-a good show for our
neighboring town, it is too. Senator HAM
MER receives an extensive and very hatter-
ing notice for a speech made there some
days since. BABB1rr, Of the Journal, and
PARKER will get into hard personalities
about the tax-list if they don't cool off soon
We are Obliged to the Democrat for kind
notice Of the editor of this paper. Hemen

ness-the steam machine, we mean.

this week an unusually large number of
prominent gentlemen of the East and West,
stopping at McGregor on business. Among
others is Timothy Dwight, Esq, of the N.
Y. Central Railroad. He visits the West,
and particularly this point to ascertain
where and with what contemplated lines Of
Railway in Iowa and Minnesota, the Cen
teal can make it profitable to identify. We
think sight Of our town at this time with
its hustle and activity in the produce mar
ket cannot fail to impress him with the val
lie of connection here.

Pixies Peak.
Since our last issue there have been sew
eral returns of our citizens from Pixies
Peak. We meet the McCraneys, Burbridge,
Davis, Gebby, Amsden and others, as "a

very interesting reports, showed us several
fine nuggets of 50 to $40 in value, and left

coarse gold from one pan Of dirt taken from

varously from 81 to s25, but the gold is
only found in an occasional pocket deposit

Concerts.

Concerts.
Juvenile concerts were given at the new brick
church on Friday and Saturday evenings, of
last week, and more pl 'asant or interesting &C.
casons were never witnessed in town. The
Misses, under the tuition of their arcomplishs
teacher, Mr.. A. NJ. SANFORD, acquitted them
selves with much credit and elected the most
enthusiastic applause from large and respect
able audience. The stage was beautifully dec
grated with wreaths and garlands and amid these
floral bowers" sat bevy of beautiful Misses
tatsefuly dressed, looking more like bright lit
tie Seraphs than creatures of Earth. One could
scarcely realize that it was an earth-scene, but
seemed transferred to a brighter, Heavenly
sphere-or at least to the tabled realms Of Fairy
land. All the pieces sung were excellent and
in good taste, while the harmony of SO many
sweet voices cau-ed the listener to imagine j,
was akin to the melody spoken of in Holy Writ
when, at the Creation, s'the stars sang together
forjoy." Different characters were well repre-.
scented Indeed all the arrangements reflect
credit upon the performers and their excellent
teacher, and these occasions will long be remem
bered as extremely happy ones.

Life Insurance.
Those desiring this safrst and cheapest protec
ton for their families, can secure it in our
Wisconsin Company. 1t has already become,
in reality, State institution, having Agents
and patrons among the best business men in all
the principal towns in the State. 1t is no Ion.
ger m liter of doubt that Life Insurance can
be conducted as well in Wisconsin as in Connec
ticut or any other Eastern States.
Thus while duty demands that men should
ins re their lives, it also demands that they
should keep their money for investment at
home. Confident that our success has been
more than equal to that OF the most "unprece.
denied" we would cordially invite all our citi.
zens to call at the ,'ffice, south west cor,er Of
Main and Wisconsin streets, and examine for

What or Illinois.

Various have been the questions put to
us in regard to the vote OF Illino in the
coming;Presidential election. Until are now
we have RETAINED from the expression of an
opinion, lest it might operate to mislead the
over sanguine and induce those who now
hard at work to cease their labors. We are
within two months of the election, and we
are confident that if it were to take place
tomorrow, Douglas would carry the State
by ten thousand majority, and if the change
gors on as it has bscn tending for som
time, his majority may 60 up to twenty
thousand. Weput this on record now for
the benefit of the citizens of other States,
and let them know what tn y are to expect
from the home of Mr.. Douglas. In all your
calculations put down Illinois for the Little
| Giant.-.St. Louis Republican.
