hope that the evil will be materially abated.-
Every one has notions peculiar to himself, what
the law should be, and hence desires to have
his remedy tried, for what he supposes to be
the existing defects of the statutes
DOG LAW.
One would oppose that a law abridgilg the
liberties of dogs, would hardly be regarded Of
sufficient importance to create any legislative
excitement But the subject of the rights and
privileges of dogs seems to call out strong feel
ings the dog has earnest friends here, as well
as determined enemies. Petitions have been
presented for the repeal of the dog law of last
winter and the good and bad qualities Of this
most common domestic animal, will very likely
be thoroughly over-hauled.
LEGISLATIVE APPoRTIoNMENT.
The joint committee on the apportionment Of
the Legislature has not yet reported, nor will
they probably for some days to come. There
is disposition to decrease the present number
of members under the new census, but what
ever may be the ratio of representation, Keno,
sha county will not be likely to get more than
one member of Assembly, and hardly one Sen
ator, without adding additional territory from
some adjoining county.
BANKS AND BANKING.
The sentiment of the Legislature is decidedly
in favor of improving our banking system, and
some measure will doubtless be devised to pre-
vent ruinous depreciations of Wisconsin curren-
cy The principal bankers in the State have
signified wish 10 have such meas ures adopted
as will place the currency on a footing, as ia
vorable to the bill holders as any other State
The peopleteverywhere in the State look to the
present Legislature for such safeguards as will
prevent the loss of eight and ten per cent. on
Eastern exchange.

''No one pretends any tribunal OH earth can
decide what abuse and degradation a people
must submit to before resort to arms, and to
revolution, shall be deemed lesser evil, ex-
cept the people themselves Of tke Toured state
To leave the settlement of this question to the
aggressors is 100 ridiculous to merit attention
if it WIRE not the ilotic idea that thousands of
men are acting upon Today No one would
think of allowing thief to be Judge and jury
on his own trial"
We clip the above sage remarks from the
Kenosha Democrat of last week. They are
part of plea OF that paper, for secession and
treason at the South The idea is, that the
Southern States have submitted to vast
amount of abuse and degradation from th . gen
eral government, or from the Northern States
For many years past the general government
has been in the hands Of the Democratic par
ty, for many years past. All the executive
officers of the government and large major
! ity of both Houses of Congress have been eth
er Southern members themselves or those ca
ger to yield to every demand of the South. The
ANNPNo'lOeIh PolG ONOh IL IuSg udu DS6H us
posed to commit any aggression on the rights
of the South, had no power to do it. What
perfect folly then, or dishonesty it is to
gravey talk about the abuse and degrade
| ton that the South has submitted to from the
Republican party, justification for its pres
ent, secession an d treason!
The Democrat says, 'no enc would think Of
allowing a thief to be judge and jury on his
own trial" and yet it is anxious TO allow the
traitors of South Carolina TO be Judge and Jury
on t heir own trial, and determine for them
selves whether they are guilty or not. The
| thief might have been forced by starvation anl
necessity to the commission of the crime. The
traitors Of the South have no such plea in abate
ment to put in, or if they have why don't the,
or their advocates for them put it in. They
are being tried before the enlightened reason
of the world for treason against the most fret
government in the world Shall they be al
lowed to be judge and jury in this trai2 TIL,
Democrat says Ito one would think" of such ,
thing.
By its own mouth again, is the Democra
convicted.

The Louisiana Secession Convention adopt
ed the ordinance for immediate secession on
Saturday last, by vote of 1l3 to II.
The ordinance declares that all laws and or
dinances by which Louisiana became a MEN,
Der of the Federal Union are repealed. and
that the Union now existing between Louisiana
and other States, under tho name of the Uni
also declares the resumption, by the State, of
all rights and powers heretofore delegated to
the Federal Government, absolving her citizens
from allegiance to said government, and that
the State is in full possession of all the rights
of sovereignty which appertain to free and
independent State.
1t further declares that all rights acquired and
vested under the Constitution of the United
States or by any act of the U. S. Congress, or
by treaty or under the laws of this State, not
incorporated with this ordinance, shall remain
in force, and have the same effect as if this or

1t will be recolected that the State of Louis
lana was purchased from the government Of
France by the United States of America, for
several millions Of dollars, hard cash, in order
to secure the mouth Of the Mississippi river for
the benefit of western commerce. That com
merce is thousand times more valuable and
ex tensive now, than when that purchase was
made. 1t is a question whether the United

to South Carolina, it seems 20 US that this pnr-
chase of Louisiana would preclude her from
peaceably seeding without paying back the

not admit the right of secession to their slaves,

INYESTIGATInN.-In the House of Repre.
sentatives on Saturday last, Mr.. Grow Of Penn.
sylvania offered Resolutions that the Select
Committee Of five, appointed on the 9TH inst,
be instructed to enquire whether any secret
organization hostile to the Government of the
United States exists in the District of Column
bia. If 50, whether any officers or employees
ofthe city Of Washington, or officers or en-
ployees of the Federal Government in the Ex-
ecutive or Judicial Departments, are members
thereof
The Southern members opposed the Resolu-
mons, as calculated to increase the discussions
already existing. After somewhat strong de-
nav. ga,e me Resolutions were adopted We think
ne Is quite tco much sensitiveness on the
the Democracy, and especially the
oou'nefh wing of it. IF there is no occasion
4oi .ne investigation there is no such Or
gahl@atlon as Mr.. Grow wants to ferret out.
Where is the harm of the Investigation. There
IS certainly reason enough to suspect some
such scheme as the taking possession of the
+ ederal Capital and the Government archives
by the seceSsionists, and if the suspicion proyes
untounded, all the better. If there is truth
IN the rumors, and employees of the Govern
lnent are secretly conspirlng for such nefari-
1us purpose, it is right that Congress should

The New and startling Poem of the Ores
for the Hair,
cANToI.
Miss Flora McFlimsey of Madison Square,
lady of fashion. of wealth and of beauty,
Spent money like water for stuff for the hair,
And did it because she thought it duty
To paint he fine lily--to perfume the rose
To gid refined gold-though few would suppose
Miss Flora Mct'limsey, with beauty so rare,
Required aught TO make her more charmingly
fair.
cAETo II.
Miss Flora had heard Of a noted Professor,
Who dressed his own hair, tho not Hairdresser,
With magical, wonderful, great preparation,
Now used in vast quantities over the nation.
This noted Professor was grey as a rat
At juvenile thirty-no older than that
And the amount of poor hair his crown had up
Oh it,
Though now as black as a ravens wing,
With Iustre enough for ball room king,
Would not have been accepted. such@was its
harsh and dry character, by any fashionist, how
ever bald she might have been, who eer wore a
bonnet

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL.
MADISON. ian. Doth. 1851


It was generally anticipated before the com
meneement of the present session, that it would
be long one; it is now, however, believed by
many that the session will not be one of more
than usual length-perhaps shorter than last
year. If the Legislature would only apply itself
to business, the necessary legislation might be
transacted before the close of the month of
March. The facilities for travel, by Railroad
and otherwise, are now so ample, that members
have strong inducements to go home or else
where quite frequently. On Saturday the 26th
a majority of the members having absented
themselves. On yesterday (Monday) not suf
icient number had returned to make quorum
for the transaction Of business; SO two DAYS
were lost at no inconsiderable expense TO the
State. There is a disposition, however. TO pre-
vent the like again, by more strict enforce
ment of the rules of absentarism.
One of the great evils of the past in Wiscon-
sin, has been too much legislation. This is
acknowledged, yet there seems to be but little
