DEAR LUTe:-As appeared from my
last matters seemed better e G 4licago.--
Wheat is going up, stocks are better,
s5,945,2ls in gold came into New York
within the week ending the 2lst inst.
over 100000 of which came from
Europe! When did such an event oc-
cur under the pest ge of Democratic
administration. This is the first good
resulting from the Election of Lircoln, on
honest man who has tho moral courage
to do what is right. Let the poor dough
faced Democrats renounce their yielding
party, repent and become MEN before
it is too late. Poor, miserable, deluded
South Carolina since her suicidal secess-
ion is in state of anarchy and utter
helplessness. England and France both
frownl upon and sparn her in her dis
graceful course, but it remains for a
demoralized democratic party and ad-
ministration to sympathize with, aid and
abet them in their treason. They have
certainly descended to the base of the
ladder and lie wallowing in the poisonous
faith of Slavery. BY conceding moro
lets them lower in the scale of degrade
ton and spreads the filthy mud of bond
age over larger surface.
The Course of South Carolina reminds
me of an egotist who stops his paper be-
cause ofsome fancied wrong, and sup
poses that the press will 60 all to smash
AID the Editor become beggar! Those
deluded persons will repent and wish to
come back before the 4th of July next,
ifthe Republican party is but trdc to the
cause of Freedom, the people and itself.
| left Chicago on the 2lst and arrived
in Madison on the same evening. Some
good improvements have lately been
made at GAINESVILLE, and other places an
the line of the road. Something in the
way of improvement is also going on
here, but Madison looks like village
beside of Memphis, which is smaller than
s.. Louis, Cincinnati, Chicago or Louis
vile.
Business is rather dull, but be it said
to the honor of the Republicans of Wis
consin. I have not heard man say, who
voted for Lincoln but that he is proud Of
it, and scores declare that if tested they
would vote to affirm it tomorrow. No
backing down in tho dust; no kissin of
the despots chains or trembling at the
crack of the slave drivers lash no conccss-
ions to pcrpetuate the heartless tyranny of
Slavery; but calm fixed determination
to sustain their chief; to aid in his inau-
garation necessary. and see that tho
Constitution is no longer perverted,
prostituted to the peculiar system, and
the laws made to crush out and destroy
the last flicker of liberty in the Country.
Judge Howc's great speech Mt Ripon
speaks the sentiment of every freeman in
the world, and, and viii fLd hearty
response in their minds. You should
publish the speech entire in the Journal.
His illustrations of the operation Of the
Democratic Compromise Fugitive Slave
Act of 1850 are true to tho letter, and
shows Enthusiastically to what depths of
degradation politicians will sink to con.
ciliate favor with beasts, and the enemies
of the Country.
1t is expected that there will be consid-
cradle business of an excitable nature be-
fore the Legislature here this winter, and
will report to you once week on the
progress of events if agreeable to you.
AS soon as wheat comes up to 81, per
bushel at the bin in Pierce County and
lands from SIS, to $40, per acre (Which
will be the case in the spring. then the
Republicans can triumphantly exclaim.
''behold the fruits of Liucons election"
