t.. correspondence Of the Chicago Tribunc:l-
70. = MADISON, Wis, Feb. 19. 1851. =
If there be truth in the statement, some
t1mes made, that populnr elections are great
educators; then wisconsin might shorten con-
pideFably the terms Of hef; public schools, be-
cause Of tts frequency Of elections. Once in
two yeazs state officers are be chosen in the
fill, aud on the alternate years members Of
Congress and county officers, while members
OF the Legislature are to be chosen every year.
In the fal., and town officers In the spring, and
beside thls ara school district elections In Sep
tembcr. There are ten Circuit Judges In the
State, some Of whom hare ID be.elected every
year, and though one Of our thrse Judges Of
the saprcmeG Court goes out Of Office only once
in ten years, Il has 50 happened that this is the
third year in succession ,When = Supreme
Judge must be elected, Tie States; Rights L.

for the last: :tWo.e elections. - -. -.
Scarcely is ths excitement and turmoil Of
one campaign :over,. hardly have it's rlllying
cries ceased to ring out on the all, when the
people arc summoned to ncw contests, are
piled again with arguments, and the voters arc
exhoited to! .'rally at the polls" It may be
useful, it is scarcely pleasant, to be engaged in
party strife constantly. ..,....
