second the demand. The official lNoniteur,
Of Paris, states that the recognition of the
Confederacy has large number of friends
in England, and that many members will
advocate such action at the approaching
session Of Parliament. The London %.
serrer, which holds semi official relations to
the English Cabinet, urges the joint inter.
vention of England and France between the
Federal and Confederate States. "No one
can doubt our po,cer," the Obserper SAYS,
"or the bcnefccn. effect Of such intcrvcn.
ton" But, more signifcen, than this,
Earl Russell is reported to have sent dis.
patch to Washington protesting against the
stone blockade; and it is rumored that the
French and other continental governments
were about taking similar steps. The
English and French press are very bitter
on this blockade. 1t is useless to disguise
the fact that the news received from Eu.
rope gives stronger indications, by every
arrival, Of the determination of France and
England to interfere in the war now going
on in this country. The sinking of stone
fleets in the southern harbors will be as.
sumed as cause justifying such intervcn-
ton, if no better one offers. 1t is openly
advocated by leading English journals. and
when Parliament meets, on the 9th of Feb
ruary, the manufacturing and commercial
interests which dictate and control the DO
Icy Of England will press upon the Gov.
crnment the necessity Of raising the block.
ade. The surrender OF Mason and Slidell
has not permanently improved the contli.
ton of our foreign relations; it has merely
postponed for brief period the storm
which has been gathering since the Presi.
dent first declared the southern ports under
blockade.

Life Insurance.
Those desiring this safest aud cheapest protecr
ton for their families, can secure it in our
Wisconsin Company. 1t has already become,
in reality, State institution, having Agents
and patrons among the best business men in all
the principal towns in the State. 1t is no lon
ger matter Of doubt that Life Insurance can
be conducted as we'll in Wisconsin rs in Connec.
ticut or any other Eastern States.
Thus while duty demands that men should
insure their lives, it also demands that they
should keep their money for investment ut

more than equal to that OF the most "unprece-

Prescription Of the Press.

We were OF the number Of those who
two years ago believed and affirmed that
one Of the fundamental objects of the Re.
publicans was the maintenance of a free,
untrammeled press. We find now, tina,
our in'erests-as members Of tie press
gang-are confined to bad hands.
The Republican Committee Of Ways and
Means, in the Republican House of Repre-.
sentativcs, proposed to present bill for
increasing the revenue, and in this bill they
provide for tax equivalent to 16 per cent.
on the production of the newspaper press,
besides the other taxes on the capital in
vested, incomes, etc. What is most singu-
lar in the plan Of the Committee, this tar
u the only tar on productive industry sare
the manufacture Of spirituous and malt
liquors!
Now We undertake to say this is a base
attempt upon the life Of free press. In
effect, it makes no difference whether the
newspapers Of the land arc broken up by Il
direct decree of despotisn,, or broken down
hy weight Of special taxation which they
cannot carry.
If this is not a direct, intended blow at
she press, why did not the Committee 60
through with the productive list? The
newspapers represent but one per cent Of
active industry; the tax, spread over the
entire production of the country would
crcstc revenue Of $3.50 ,oOO, 900 90! Let
every pound Of lead, iron, and copper,
every yard of cotton and wooden cloth,
every pail, pick axe, shovel, whcelbarrow,
wagon, pair Of pantaloons, pound Of -four,
etc, etc., be taxed as much in proportion
as half Of one cent On every printed sheet,
and We will not complain.
The press will share its burden in the
conduct of the war, but il it is to be throt.
tied by unjust special taxation, it will make
trouble to the government before the end is
reached. In the meantime, We shall see
whether Republican Congress and Repub-
lican President in the first year Of Repub-
lican Administration will dare to 60 on the
record as THE ENEMIES OF \ FREE PRESS

A Do.Notllin2 Body.


1t is said that in Queen Elizabcth's time
after Parliament had been seven weeks in
apparently fruitless session, her Majesty
meeting with her faithful Speaker, inquired
Of him, "what has passed in the Com
mons House, Said the Speaker, "f i,
please your Majesty, seven weeks" This
little incident reminds us Of the almos,
total inactivity Of our present Congress,
which entered upon its present session
carly in December last. The country was
then distracted by civil war, embarrassed
ny q rapidly accommodating debt, harrasscd
by umors Of threatened hostile foreign ALI.
"nccs, and grooming under financial dsas.
tiers. Never since the revolution, was the
assembling Of the national legislature
marked by such crisis as denoted the
first day Of the present session. Never
was there time, when President making,
and political stock; jobbing, seemed more
'rrclevant-wc came near saying irrcvcrcnt
Two months have elapsed and save the
auditing Of a few bills, and the confirming
Of q number OF appointments, what has
Congress passed, save the calendar months
Of December aud January?
Now, We do not like to be classed with
the fault.finding corps, but this we will say
for the people, that until Congress arises
to point of action and usefulness, it must
not censurc Mcclellan for not advancing
the grand army Of the Union.
These arc plain words, Mcssrs. Senators
and Representatives, but there are some of
your number-not from this State VIC arc
glad to say-who, in the luxury Of capitol
life, arc becoming pampered and indolent;
animated occasionally by the hope OF
making four hours speech on the conduct
Of the war only to relapse into state OF
lcthargy ornamented with visions of con.
sulates, wealth and influence. Those of
you who are in this class, will learn when
you face your constituents again, that com.
plants of Mcclellan, and bills to squeeze
the hard earning Of newspaper men by
paper taxes, were not the acts expected of
you in these dark days Of the Republic.
Long speeches arc not going to save the
Union but downright hard work during
the remainder Of the session, may con.
tribute materially to that result. So mote
II be.
