Vermont and Maine have sent cheering
words TO US, and we hail them as the begin
ming Of the message, which will be pro-
claimed after the October and Novom Der
electoul and which Fil be interpreted
thus Congress has been sustained, agd RIGHr
JUSTICE and HUMANITY haze triumphsd.-
The moral influence Of these victories comes
with increased force, as we read of the large
majorities, which send loyal Representative
10 Congress, and the emphasis with which
they have spoken the political sentiment OF
the two States The battle is well opened
and the first advance is foil Of cheer and en-
couragoment. Wisconsin will respond in
due time and second your noble Efforts. and
so will Ohio and her sister States Of the
West
tthe present time we cahnot but congratu-
late ourselves that our Government is a
Republican one, and although the Head is
termed and reason seems de'hroned, yet the
heart, the popular pulse, beat right aud the
people are firm and steadhst. We have no
Royal ri hness to salute nor hereditary
family 70 sustain, but the people can aad do
select their RULERS from themselves, aud no
Executive csn dictate them or threaten with
imounity. We have not yet reached the
point when we are ready to hail President
johnson as King Andrew the lst, and the
people scorn his talk Of what he could do,
with the immense power at bis control
He must not try to be a second Cromwell,
for the rule Of Charles the lst would suit him
better. He can ruin country easier than
he can save it.
During this week two of his Household
addressed the Copp rhesds at Music Hall in
this city. Senator d 1olttle and Post Master
General Randall had learned their pieces aud
spoke them to their sympathizsrs in Mil
saukee.
They ca ne here aud were received by the
men. who, two years ago, were denouncng
cy Of Abraham Lincoln would never save the
country.
Few public officers have been abused more
than they, and by the very men who now re-
ceived them with open arms. Il occurred to
me that their speeches. were ungrateful, for
having Joined hands 10 my policy" they
addressed these Copperheads As Republicans
and declared positively that ANDREW john
SON and they. were laboring for tue sane
plans Of reconstruction that Abraham Lin
coin held, and these so called Democrats
oheered the sentiment and SAID AMEN. This
was ridiculous Inconsistency. The labor
Of Senator Doolittle was TO prove this asser-
ton. 1t is very remarkable If three-fourths
OF the men who stood by Mr.. Lincoln have
wondered away aud these few men Of John.
son-DOolstle cast are true to his ideas
Their talk reminds me Of the Indian who be-
came intoxicated and could not find the way
20 ais wigwam, who declared that he hsaR {
got lost or wandered away, but the igigwang
hal gone II senator Doolttle is laboring
hard ia this campaign but he will be con-
signed to private hte a the expiration OF his
present term.-Gov. Randalrs speech was a
TRADE against he press and Radicals and re-
minded me Of President Johnson's dign fed
speecnes at Cleveland and ST. Louis. He
was frequently interrupted ond was forced to
retraot some Of his flsehoods.
Hon Mat. IA. Carpenter challenged SenA-
tor DJolittle to stump the State With him,
but the Senator declined. He feared to meet
so able an opponent in the political atena
The Republicans were anxious to have Mr..
Dooltte meet Nj Carpenter in this manner,
knowing that the sophistry Of the former
would be exposed and the apostate Senator
vaoqusued.
We have had large amount Of rain dur
ing the harvest time, and the prospects, which
were so f4ttering for large wheat crop, have
not been realized. Number l wheat will be
in small quantity during this season, from
Wisconsin. Minnesota sends upon the mar
kst here be.ter quality as the rains did not
extend over that State. Reports come in
from the country and inform US that the po-
tato crop is being injured by rot. Wool
market here is we're dull and inactive There
was large amount bought at high prices and
holders are waiting for rise before sending
it forward. Business is generally active and
the fall trade is commencing briskly. Our
wholesale houses have large and full stocks,
and Milwaukee never displayed more activity
or a healthier trade. q, n. @.
