ATTEMPT TO HAUL Down THE AMERICAN
FLAG.-The Portland Oregonian learns that
the following affair occurred in Lane county,
Oregon, short time since: A blacksmith
raised a United States flag on pole near his
shop; some Sccessionists gave him notice that
they would take it down. He replied that he
would shoot the man that attempted to do so.
Looking out of his shop door, he saw two men
at the cords pulling down the flag. He turned
and got his rife TO shoot them On reaching
the door, the rifle was seized hold of by man
who was apprized Of his design. Another man
came at him in the position of striking him
with his fist. The blacksmith seized large
butcher knife, struck at his assailant, and cut
him in such manner that his bowels protru-
ded, and it was expected he would die. The
wounded man made declaration before q
Justice of the Peace that the blacksmith was
not to blame for what he had DONE The flag
was suffered to remain

THE New LOAN IN CALIFORNIA. We learn
that there is considerable demand for U. S.
Treasury notes, at the Office of the o. S. As
sistant Treasurer. None as far as we have
learned. have yet been received, except 81 800
by Judge MeAlister, in payment of bis salary
Mr.. Cheeseman has written to Secretary Chase
on the subject, for the purpose of having for
warded to California sufficient amount to
meet the public requirements. Only a few
days since citizen about leaving for the East
applied at the Mint to have $4,000 in specie
exchanged for notes issued by authority Of the
last Congress. The Treasurer was unable to
furnish them, but this difficulty will be soon
removed. The Government proposes at an
early day calling upon California for financial
aid, and it is believed that her patriotic citi-
zens will be prompt in responding. Meantime,
there is large amount of specie in the hands
OF the Assistant Treasurer for Government use ;

The San Francisco Mirror (Republican)
uses the following strong language in reference
to DR.. Scott: " Who is this DR.. w. A. Scott,
standing up in the midst of loyal people and
uttering treason such as this? 1t is right that
we inquire-right that we trace to its source
the poisonous stream flowing from the sanctu-
airy of the Most High through sacerdotal robes
and sermons, warm with the breath of hell and
black with the spirit of death and national
ruin. Who is he that dares to call Washing
ton a traitor, and the rebellion "rightful
revolution THAT places his hand upon the
Revelations of God and couples the name of
the patriot Father of the great Republic with
that of jeff Davis the traitor? Why, a GER
tain stiff necked, money-worshipping, slave
driving, truth>perverting, plagiarizing leader
in the Southern Church of Southern God,
who has probably been offered better salary
to serve hell in Louisiana than heaven here"

Onhis way to Washington.

President LINCOLN left his hons in Illinois,
on Monday last, FOR Washington, to assume,
on the 4th of March next the duties and re-
sponsibiities to which he has been called by the
votes of nearly two millions of his countrymen.
We give elsewhere the short and touching
farewell address of the President elect 10 his
friends and neighbors at home, also his address,
at Indianapolis Our space will not permit us
to follow the course, and chronicle the sayings
of the President elect. Suffice it to say that,
bis course since he left Springfield, has been a
constant ovation. All along the line of the
Road, the people have gathered in great num-
bers, to show their respect, and do honor to
the man of the Nations choice
The reception of the President in Cincinnati
Tuesda y afternoon was a most complete af-
fair. The city literally turned out to welcome
him. From the balcony of the Burnett House,
Mr.. Lincoln addressed the immense crowd and
his remarks were received with great enthu-
siasm. One thing is evident, that wherever he
goes, Mr.. Lincoln takes the hearts of the peo-
pie by storm. They recognize in him simply
an honest, able man, bent upon doing his duty
in the trying and responsible position to which
he has been called, to the best of his abilities.
AS such, they honor and love him; and well
they may. We believe the confidence of the
American people in the ability and integrity
has not been misplaced.

Personal LIBERTY BILL.

AAnSVNAA LIBERTY l..
Resolutions have passed both Houses instruct
ing he Judiciary committees to examine the Per
sonal Liberty Laws on our Statute book, and \
found inconsistent with the Constitution of the
Onited States, TO recommend the repeal of sucl
portions thereof as may not be in harmony with
that instrument. A great clam0r has been made
respecting the Personal Liberty Laws ofthis State
although 1t does not appear that the laws of the
United States have ever in single instance been
interfered with in conseq lence of our State enact
ments. The rendition Of single fugitive from
the South has never been prevented by the Per
sonal Liberty Bill of Wisconsin Still, TO quiet
the nerves of such as have really been led to be
lieve that our own State has laws repugnant to
the Constitution of the United States, the Judica.
ny committee will make thorough examinations
and report accordingly.
PROcEEDINGs IN CRIMINAL CASES.
Various propositions have been submitted TO
regulate the costs in Justices courts bill is be-
fore the Legislature providing that in criminal
actions if the defendant be acquitted and discharg-
ed, the plaintiff shall pay all costs of Sheriff or
Constable of tho proceedings had on the COM
plant
The fees of the Clerk of the Supreme Court un-
der the present regulations are enormous; they
are variously estimated from $4,000 to $4,000 an.
nually. With the view of bringing the fees Of
this Office within proper limit bill has been
intro duced to make the Clerk of the Supreme
Court salary office at 81 500 per annum.
GRAND JURIEs.
The Judiciary committee have been Instructed
by resolution to enquire into the expediency Of
dispensing with the present Grand jury system
Other States have recently undertaken this reform
and Wisconsin cannot afford to be behind in this
matter. Grand Juries are useless expend ture
whatever benefits may be derived from them can
be reached by other and far more simple MEANS
1t is not likely however that the present Legisla

1t is but few weeks ago since men OF all
parties were on the stump endeavoring to inlu-
ence sentiment and determine tho Presidential

in favor of their own particular
] candidates and principles The smoke OF the
Wide Awake and Hickory lamps has hardly
yet passed away, and yet we find men who urg-
ed Republicans by every consideration of man.
hood, honor and freedom to stand by the doc
trine of the non'extension of slavery, now labor
ing to convince the people that the extension
of Slavery is necessary to the salvation of this
Government Douglas Democrats who, at
Charleston, repudiated and spit upon the Brock
inridge Platform, now applaud William KEEL
logg and others, who endorse the Breckenridge
doctrines! We, through the columns OF this
paper, advocated territorial freedom
as cardinal Republican princi-
pie. We did SO because we honestly believed
It, Men may sit in the Halls OF Congress and
oetray Republcans-may go over to the camp
of the enemy and exalt Slavery over freedom,
but we will not do it. What we advocated du-
ring the last campaign, We will stick to through
every trial Woe, woe, betide the renegade
and traitor, who deserts freedom in this, her tr-
al hour! We say to all the many thousand
readers OF the Journal, that we have in good
faith, advocated Republican principles, and we
will never surrender them at the bidding of the
slave power or of the Democratic party, or of
renegade Republicans. We sag to our readers,
and to the country, that the GLORIOUS Republican
ohom zoe haze elected to the Presidency is just as
true to the Republican faith as ICE are, and that

he starts for Washington. All along the lines
of his journey the people will press forward to
DO him honor. In due time he will reach the

inaugural address. Then will true men rejoice
and traitors to country and principle hang their
heads in shame. In Abraham Lincoln the coun.

pies upon which he was elected-true to his
country, its Constitution and laws, and true to
the cause of Freedom.
