The Fall Campaign.

A few weeks since, we announced
that a strictly Independent course would
be pursued by us in the coming cleo
ton Of State officers. As the Cleye-
land PEuiadea7er has it, our politics all
run down into Virginia and Missouri.
Some Republicans who have been sug-
gested for different positions, we aciH
not support, providing the Democrats
nominate unexceptionable men and
adopt sound, war-polioy PLATFORM
promising to do al i'll their power to
hold up the hands Of the President in
. vigorous prosecution of the war, and
inscribc on their banners ''No Compro-
mise with Traitors"
AS some Of the papers have sugges-
ted tickets to be supported this fall, we
take the liberty of marking out one that
suits lis exactly, as follows:
Goue3woy-Wa alter D. McIndoe, Of
Marathon.
Lieut. G0rernor-H. L. Palmer, OF
Milwaukee.
Sec'y Of &ote-Louis P. Harvey, Of
Rock.
TeaseUer-S. D. Hastings, of Trem-
peleau.

Three of the above palmer, Car
pcnter and Mckindley) are Democrats,
but just as good Union men, and Just
as capable and honest, as any set of
men in the Republican ranks.

Fremont's Policy and the Cabinet.

The special of the World, under
date of "Washington 3lst," says
"The vigorous proclamation Of Gen.
Fremont has fairly startled Washing
ton from its propriety. 1t comes upon
us like thunder-clap in a clear sky,
and clearly indicates that a new chap
ter has been opened in the conduct of
this war. AS yet there has been no
indication given from any authorlta-
tive source as to whether it has been
warranted by any order by the govern
ment here, and there is much specuIa-
ton on this point. The cabinet will in
due time announce its policy; but until
1t does, dlstrust all reports sent On from
here. 1t is a matter of too much I'M
portance to be made the subject Of an
informal communication by any men,
Der Of the government. There can be
no question but that this stirring doc
ument will receive the hearty indorse-
ment of the people Of the free States;
but its reception in Kentucky, Mary
land and Missouri, is open to some
doubts"
On the same point, the special of the
Chicago Tribune, under date of the
3rd, says: at is exceedingly doubtful
whether the Cabinet will go the length
of Fremont's Proclamation in relation
to slaves, though tits generally approx
ed Of except by q few old army Off

YOUTHFUL PATRIoTs-Two young
sters, aged respectively 8 and 10 years,
started yesterday afternoon about 2
o'clock for the seat of war. They
walked on the Columbus railroad track
about five miles and half, when they
counter -marchea BY file left, and re-
turned to their anxious parents, reach
ing home about ten O'Clock at night.
The following articles were found
in the pocket Of one Of the boys, which
they considered amply sufficient for a
campaign: box Of matches, a bottle
of Cologne, a drinking cup, one cent,
a pear, a candle and Il pickle, They
were perfectly serious about going to
war, and left home with the deliberate
intention of fighting for their country.

DRAFTING rs. VoLUNTEER1NG.- It
should not be forgotten, that in case a
sufficient number of volunteers are not
offered TO fill the regiments called for
within reasonable time, the Depart
ment will be compelled to resort to
drafting; nor should it be forgotten
that none but U0ItHateers will be emit
tied to the extra pay provided by our
State Legislature. The married vol
unteers will get S. per month more pay
than the niIitiaman, making it SO much
more of a peeuniary object, besides the
credit of the patriotism exhibited,
which will not soon be forgotten. Be
side there is more opportunity to
choose your company with volunteers,
a great social advantage.

Secretary Cameron.

Our readers have noticed how much
has been recently said and how much
more has been insinuated with refer
ence to General Cameron. We have
never believed, and have never report
ed any Of the slang about him. It gives
us pleasure to copy the following con-
corning him from the Washington cor
respondent Of the Chicago Ecenitg
| journal.
"And here let me say a word about
Secretary Cameron. Reports are as
rife here as elsewhere, of his trickery
in the management Of Government
contracts; and | had reluctantly come
| to the conclusion-so common and IN
contradictory were the reports-that
there must be some truth in them
But [ have good authority for saying
that there are "baselesss fabrics of a
dream" My authority is no less
person than Senator Wilson, Of Massa-
chusetts. He is Chairman of the Mil
itary Committee Of Congress, and his
official position brings him into conf
| dental intercourse with the Secretary
Of War, and he is necessarily made
acquainted with the business of the
| War Department. He entered upon
his official duty as Chairman of the
Military Committee, with some Of the
prejudice against the Secretary which
exists in the public mind. He was,
therefore, inclined closely to scrutin-
ize his conduct; and the result of Gen.
Wilson's intercourse with, and scru-
tiny Of the War Department, has led
him to the conclusion, that the charges
made so fiippantly and SO confidently
against Gen. Cameron, are without
foundation-that he had not made one
cent ont of any contract with the De
partment. [ heard Gen. Wilson de-
clare this in conversation; and not on
| ~ did he say this, but he further en-
phatically declared, that he believed
these reports orr ginated with those
who wanted, but were unable to Sell
the Government, at enormous prices,
vessels worthless for war service, or to
cline their pockets'' with fat contracts
for the army. He added further, that
Gen. Cameron is conducting the War
Department with great energy and eff
cheney.
[ have also unqnestionable authority
for saying, that Secretary Chase, whose
lynx-eyed keenness in seeming out
everything which smacks of fraud in
the conduct of the Government is pro-
verbal, concurs IN Gen. Wilson's opln-
ion of Secretary Cameron"
Such testimony ought to be satisfac-
tory to the public, and men should
cease to believe these stories of harpies
who wish to prey upon the Government
in the time of It's peril. IF these sharp
ers have charges to prefer against Off
GERS of the Government, let them sub
stantiate their allegation by proof, Or
shut their mouths.

Gen. Fremont, approaching his
official integrity and ability, three days
since requested the editor Of the Mis-

contrary, he acknowledges heartily Mr.

The machine of 1851 will be found fully equal
to Bny test that it may be submitted to. The slight
indentation Of the Sickle, its lightness and eombi-
nation with the beam and fingers, allows an increase
Of motion not praetseable in other machines, thus
enablingus to 10 good Oork, with a a slow team, OK
en-, even, working well. Our
Improved Guard aud Patent Cleaner,
efectually prevents choking, no matter what the
condition of the grass, while our new divider point
separates badly lodged and tangled clover or grass,
where other machines fail.
There is also a great advantage in our serrated
sickle edge over the smooth, as it does not require
sharpening so often, thus saving time. Our Sickle
will frequently run through an entire harvest with
cut once grinding, while the smooth edge must be
ground once each day, if mot Oftener. With a smCth
edge the draught increases as the knife become duln
Our draught is uniform, and in repeated trials du-
ring the season of 1850, proved far lighter than sim
gle Mowers, cutting at the same time from twelve t6
eighteen inches wider.
Our Mower can be used with or without the reel
this is important, and without the reel, weighs but
about $40 pounds.
In addition to the very liberal w~arrantee given to
all Purchasers, we would say as heretofore, hat far
mers who may desire it, are at liberty to work our
machine through the harvest, with any theT, and
keep, and pay for, the one preferred.
