THE PROPRIETORS of the FREE DEMocRAT
l. desire to introduce to the notice and consi-
deration of all classes, but particularly mer-
chants and business men, the claims OF the FREE
DEMOCRAT as a reliable business, news and
commercial journal. Those who are tradi ng
with Milwaukee merchants can scarce afford to
do without Milwaukee paper upon which they
can rely, for commercial information CT all kinds
including a correct and careful price current
The Commercial department of the FREE DEMo.
Graf is managed by competent editors, who will
continue to spare 70 pains to render it in every
way worthy Of that confidence which has been,
and is now beinf repostd in it by the business
men of this city and state.
The great object of the commercial depart.
ment of newspaper should be to give the latest
and most reliable information on commercial At
fairs; in financial affairs, to keep fully posted in
all matters relating to currency and the money
market; to frown upon all schemes of finance
calculated to fleece the community : to cab
things by their right names in making quota
tons; ard in these matters not to swerve from
the direct lire by fear, favor, or Affection
Such is the character of this department of the
Free Democrat, and such it will continue 10 BE-
1t will con inue to contain the latest inte|E-
gence by telegraph up to The time of going 10
pr, So
AS political journal, it will continue to Ia tie
for the UNION, and give no quarter to its ene
mics. Its motto is,
7hs UNiU.N-it Must and sIaV be Preserved
LepubIiean il. principle, out-sPoken in fact
and untiring in devotion to tie great PRIME pies
of freedom, fought for and established by the
Fathers of the Republic, it is the deter ,nnatlon
of the present proprietors to make and KEEP u
worthy of the position its contemporaries nave
assigned it, as the lie ding Republican Paper
in the North Vest.

WIN AND TRY.

SAIL, no The schooner Stella arrived
at this port, from Milwaukee, on Thurs
day last, loaded with merchandise. She
departed again on Friday for Chicago,
with back cargo of shingles, fence posts,
&C., for 0. ToRR1soS This is what may
be correctly termed "early navigation"
and is the second trip Of the Stella to
this port during the present winter. Her
captain must have sort of affection for
cold weather.

THE EXTENSION LAw.-The act which
has passed the Legislature, and become a
law, extends the time for the collection OF
taxes in Manitowoc county until the third
Monday in July next, and the present
Town Treasures are TO hold their offices
until the fourth Monday in August.
Notwithstanding the objections of the
Herald TO this law, we believe it is entirely
acceptable to the people of the county
Perhaps the Herald does not understand
the wishes of our citizens as much as its
arrogance pretends.

PROGRESS OF The STEAMERs.-Owing
to the severe and boisterous weather du.
the winter, the work Of constructing the
two steamers has not progressed as -apid-
ly as the builders would wish but it is
now hoped that, with the protpect of fine
weather, no delay will occur in rapidly
finishing them both. The propeller is
nearly planked inside, and the Joiner work
of the cabin is in progress. Her boiler
has been placed in its position, and she
will be in fair way for launching by the
first of May.
The steamboat is no: SO far advanced.
Both of them are of extra stout build, and
on examining their heavy timbers and in
genious plan of construction, one can
hardly imagine storms or waves strong
enough to sever their timbers asunder.-
We are satisfied that two frmer boats
never sailed our Lakes. It is Capt. Coon
Rrcn's intention TO place two side lropel,
ling roheeis, instead % paddles, on the
steamer. This is new experiment, but
has been found to work better than the
old style of wheels.

ATTENTION, YoUNG Men I've per-
ceive by the advertisement of Messrs.
Horace L. HEGEMAN 81 Co., of New
York, that the renowned Stimulating
Onguent" invented by DR.. BELLINGHAM,
for healthy stimulation in the growth Of
beard or whiskere, has now had its Ans
erican market confded 10 their agency.
The high reputation of this article in
London, Paris, and other cities Of Europe,
seems TO have been fully justified by ex-
perience in this country. We find that
its praises are re echoed among all classes.
4 few weeks are said to prove its almost
magical influences upon the beard or
whisker The British volunteers have
made such free use Of it as TO attract tie
attention of TIE London Punch. See ad-
yertisement of Messrs. Hegeman & CO., in
another column. -

OPENING OF STEAMBOAT MITIGATION
The staunch and swift steamboat Comet
arrived at the Pier of JOHNSON and
HoDGEs, at FIVE o'clock On Monday after
noon last, from Milwaukee, loaded with
heavy cargo Of goods for our merchants,
and large number Of hides for the Tan
merry at Two Rivers. The first steamboat
arrival of the season is quite an event to
the Inhabitants Of Lake Shore town like
ours. After being "cooped up" during
the winter months, with no means of COM
munication with the outer world-except
By stage or private conyeyance-it is a
source of relief to our citizens to know
that comfortable and expeditions means
Of transit is again established between
Manitowoc and the Southern ports on
Lake Michigan, where we are in direct
communication with the rest of the
world
The Comet is a first class steamer; and
for the present, will make tri-weekly trips
leaving Milwaukee on Mondays, We'd
nesdays and Fridays. She is commanded
by Capt. FRED PAB8r, a arlicular favorite
of our people, good sailor, and a noble
hearted man. Mr. c. HURsoN is the
Clerk, and better specimen cannot be
found on our waters. The Comet, her
Captain, and her Clerk, combine every
thing which should induce the business
and travelling community of our vicinity
to give the enterprise Of Mr.. GooDRIcH
remunerative support.
The first arrival in our bay, last year,
was that of the propeller Cayahoga, which
came in sight of our village on the 2nd of
March, but was obliged to return to Mill
waukee without efecting a landing at the
pier, on account of The prevalence of a
heavy storm. On Wednesday the 7th,
she again arrived, landing at Two Rivers
first, and then at this place.
