The WATERFOWL Republican, after
speaking of Judge Durn's having voted
Gor Breckinridge and held that it was un-
constitutional to resist the attempt of the
rbels to destroy the Union, says
In addition to the above, we would
make another statement against Judge
dunn which seems to be overlooked in
the canvass, to this effect: That the Judge
voted IN the constitutional convention OF
this state against the clause in the stuff
rage article allowing foreigners to vote
alter one year residence, and argued
that a five years residence was short
enough for foreigners to become acouait-
ed with the workings of a Democratic
Government. The danger he pic
tured was that they were too ignorant to
be entrusted with any share in adminstra-
J!on OF our stvernme Mt until qualified by
time and observation; he considerd even
i've years too short We call the atten-
ton Of our foreign-born citizenns in
this vicinity to Judge Dunn's position
towards them, and ask them if they can
VITA ~ degree of consistency towards
themselves, support such man"
What howl would be raised by the op-
position if Republican had taken such
a position.
t has been more than limited by many
leading Democrats that it was the pur-
pose, if Dunn and Ellis should be elected,
10 modify the present laws regulating
suffrage.

YARMOUTH GLASS PLATE. A single
plate of glass has just been imported
from France 20 feet long bv l6 feet in
ches wide. 1t is used not as window
but to represent, under strong light, a
frozen lake in theatrical scene, where the
professional fairies have made new SEN
sation by displaying the poetry of mo-
ton" on glistening ice. A natural inquiry
is how such a brittle material as glass can be
cast and annealed to this extent; why it
should not fly in pieces under the un
equal changes of temperature to which
portions of it are nightly subjected. The
glass is made of such thickness as to re-
sist a very powerful blow; but the effect
of unequal heating, which often cracks
templates as well as glass, is not as great
as might be supposed the number of
feet upon 1t at one time does not exceed
a dozen, and they are not there long
to poduce preceptible change in the
temperature of the glass. There is Sc
cret connected with the manufacture of
large glass plates known only in certain fac
tories in France tits comparatively speak
ing, an easy tasks to make plates of enor
nous size, but to produce them free from
cloudy spots, or, In other words, trans
parent and homogeneous throughout, has
required much time and many expert
ments the surrounding Of difficulties
yet encountered in other counties where
glass is still too brittle, is probably the re-
suit expert manipulation, as well as the
addition of new ingredients.

viii be the third gun in the campaign,
New Hampshire and Connecticut being
the nrst and second Wisconsin enjoys
now the reputation Of being a staunch
Republican State, yet there is danger OF
defeat i any considerable number of
luileWam disaffected Republicans fail to
vote. The democracy are active, vigil
ant, and well-organized, and will use
every possible means of getting their
candidates upon the bench. If three
Republican votes in each town can be
changed, or SIX persuaded to stay away
from the polls, the Republican majority
Of last fall will be overcome.
The democrats have nominated for
Chlei Justice regular Kentucky Cop

1860, no more fit for the Supreme Bench
of Wisconsin than jeff Davis or Andrew
johnson. If the Copperhead party sue
coed in alecting Dunn and Ellis, they will

course reverse the decision upon negro
suffrage which has given to Wisconsin a

Mrs. Ben Wade--The New Mistress d.
the White House.

Washington Correspondence Philadelphia Press.
Come, reader: come into the cool re-
freshing shade. Yon are in the presence
of the woman, who, mall hnman probable
ity, will be one above others of her sex to
whom the argus eyes of this great NATION
will soom be directed. She is in the 4 Il
meridian of middle life, tall and distin-
guished-look as one would imagine a
Roman matron might be in the days of
Italian glory, and it would seem that she
is precisely such mate as her bluff and
out-speaking husband would select for
lifelong journey in double harness
1t is we'll known in Washington that
Mrs Wade has not the least ambition to
shine in the fashionable world that she
has been heard to express her exceeding
distaste for the formal reception it has
even been whispered by those who ought
to know, that she has the old fashioned
love for the click of knitting needles );
and the nation may yet find out that
the reason why Senator Wade has
always stood so firm for the right
was because his feet has been cad
In stockings of domestic manufacture:
for this is no more astonishing than, had
Archimedes the slightest point on which
to place his fllcrum, he might hare
moved the whole world.
For many years Mrs. Wade's name has
been prominently identified with the p
lie charitable institutions at Washington.
as we'll as elsewhere. Says the Secretary
OF the ''Newsboys' Home 1T is her
private benevolence that will longest be
remembered. for it is yet to be known
when worthy object was sent from her
presence unrelieyed. When we remem-
her scholarly culture, her extensive read
ing, and her acquaintance with the best
minds of the age, would it not almost
seem that this second tragedy, this sui
eide, instead of assassination, at the
White House, was the providential
means taken to purify the halls of legis-
lation at the very fountain head. For if
Senator Wade drills into the Executive
chair, through no fault or effort OF his
own, bound by no promise to friend or foe
what hlnders him from Selling the helm
Of the Ship Of State, and, with the akid
OF Congress, guiding her out of the breek
ers into the calm still waters of Republi-
can prosperity and peace? AS only a
Hercules can perform this labor, this
may account for the succession, as
well as for Senator Wade's clear head,
broad shoulders, and stout heart; and
when it happens that there will accom-
pany him to the Executive Mansion the
same social atmosphere that characterized
the days of Mrs. Adams and Mrs Madi-
son, will it not seem like return to the
honest simplicity of our forefathers, or
like the long delayed perfecting Of the
Republic youthful days.
