oh, land we love, land of the free.
What cloud is dark ming over thee?
Passed are the stormy clouds of war,
And shines above the peaceful star;
And battles dCnted shield doth rust
The mouldering banners melt to dust
The canncn'S brazen voice is still
No bugle sounds upon the hill
The sword late red with blood's bright tide
Now gemmd with dew shines as bride !;
While glory leans upon his spear,
And sheds the retrospective tear
On liEd Te love, our country, why,
Since all is joy, thy mOiStening eye?
Behold! a dark and horrid crown
Around our country's brow is bound.
A. weight Of woe, that jet-blacll jewel,
An emblem of the negroes rule
For greed Of power and statesman's art
Have bound the hemlOck on thy heart,
And, scOrning, smile to see it there,
Driving the nation to despair.
oh land we love, land we revere,
Portentious is thy glttering tear
Ere long the sunbeams may reveal,
lot falling tears, but gancing steel
Ih9 black mans reign has Just begun;
As yet the white man but looks on.
B'.t force and fraud will ever still
BE met with force-with dauntless will,
And ere those flowing tears may dry,
Thy sons will shout their battle-cry.
Nor time can change, nor art cfface,
The dread antipathy of race
The white mans high and naughty soul
Will scorn to own the blacks control
The mingling tides OF black and white
Will meet to merge in fatal fight;
Soon red-eyed slaughter walks abroad,
And blood re-stains the dew-washed sword

Commissioners of Immigration.

Al the last session of the Legisla-
ture OF this State an Act was passed
authorizing the. establishment of a
Board of Immigration, the object Of
which Is to enhance and encourage
Immigration TO this State from the
older states nf the Union and from
Europe. The Board having been or
ganized, pamphlets accompanied with
maps Of the State, have been printed
in the Scandinavian, Welsh. German
and English languages, setting forth
Agricultural, Mineral. and Manfactur-
ing interests Of the State. which it is
desirable TO circulate among those
seeking homes in the West.
The law provides for the appoint
ment Of a committee Of three in each
county to aid in the work of proper
circulation Of documents. The Gov
ernor has selected Jacob Speilman of
this city, Samuel Hoskins of Dodge
vile, and j. J. Davis of Linden, as
such committee for this county. Per
sons having friends or acquaintances
IN the Eastern States or Oh the Eas-
tern Continent who desire to secure
homes in the West can further the
objects of the commission BY reporting
their names and Post Office address
to any of the above named gentlemen,
who will see that pamphlets are for
wardcd TO them, from which they
may learn Of the adyan ages to be de-
rived from settlement in Wisconsin.
We hope the citizens of Iowa County
will use their influence in aiding the
Board in the performance Of the work
before them

Paying Debts.

One Of our religious exchanges has
the following strong remarks on the
subject. They drive the nail in to
the head and clinch it:
Men may sophisticate as they
please. They can never make it
right, and all the bankrupt laws in the
universe can not make 1t right for
them not to pay their debts. There
is sin in this neglect as clear and as
deserving church discipline as in steal
ing or false swearing. He who vic
Iatcs his promise to ray, or wltholds
the payment of debt when it is in
his power 10 meet the engagement, he
ought to feel that in the sight of all
honest men he is swindler. Rrlig-
ion may be a very comfortable cloak
under which to hide, but il religion
does not make man deal justly it is
not worth having.

THE Copperheads of New York
have calculated on carrying that State
this fall on the prohibition and Sun
day dictaton issue. Having no pros
meet Of success ON national questions.
they have been rudustriouslv pushing
forward local questions involving the
right q the people TO enjoy public or
private rccreatIguS and pastimes. and
to eat and drink whas they like on
Sunday as we'll aS on any other dav.
They had reckoned confidently on the
Republican convention endorsing the
iuquisitorial and impracticable scheme
OF the prohibition advocates. But the
convention committed no such blum
der. but gave the copperhead ead-fall
a vide berth, and resolved TO contest
the field on national grounds. It was
unanimously resolved that no per
son should BY law be deprived Of the
right TO public or private recreation
or paStime on any dav of ;he week :
provided that no person in exercising
this right shall violate public order
and decorum, or the proper respect
due 70 worship aud that the excise
law and all other existing laws be
amended accordingly" This resolu-
tlon aceords With the sentiments of
all fair minded men Of all parties.

THOSE who are boisterously inbi-
LIANT or drearily Respondent over the
results of the late elections have only
to recall similar Republican defeats
in the fall elections in those same
States in 1862 Then, while in the
midst Of the war, those defeats al the
polls detected the loyalists exceeding
", and in corresponding degree en-
couragcd the copperheads and rebels
But how completely the tide was
turned at the Presidential elections
Of 1864. After the fall elections Of
1862 the Democrats were Just as loud
in their claim that :. great reaction "
had begun a they are now; and we
have faith that they viii find them
selves Just as much mistakcn.in their
hopes of carrying the national cleo
tion next fall as they did in lS64.-
The principles Of the great Republi.
can party are too precious, too GER
taiuly righteous, to be defeated in the
Government at this stage Of our ma
tional progress.
