THE TURNER FEST.

The Portage City Register speaks in
high terms of the exhibition given in
that city by our Watertown Turner's a
short time since, but in noticing the
festivities Of the next day--Sunday-
it makes the following renar ks, which
we republish, believing they will COM
mend themselves to the good sense of
all our citizens, German as we'll as
American. 1t needs no argument to
prove that there can be no law passed
nor enforced requiring one class of
citizens to observe the Sabbath day
according to the creed or customs of
another class; but on the other hand
it is just.as obvious that all classes have
the right to keep the Sabbath as they
choose or as their conscionces lead them
to do without disturbance or annoyance
on the part ofothers. The Register says ::
While we have nothing but kindness
for this class Of our citizens, and have
never felt called upon to eriticise or
condemn their Sunday festivities, We
cannot but feel that they overstep the
bounds Of propriety and proper freedom
when they form their professions IN the
streets Of the city in midday On the
Sabbath, and march past our churches,
with their bands playing, greatly dis
turblng another class OF citizens who
feel it their duty and privilege to OBJ.
serve Sunday in quite different man
ner. We have a mixed population
composed Of people from almost cverT
nation under the sun, differing WIDELY
in their habits, manners, thoughts, and
religious feelings. 1t is the especial
pride Of citizens Of Portage that, while
we have such a population, we have al
ways been remarkably harmonious, each
class generally paying profound respect
to the views of other classes thinking
differently. Thus, while one portion Of
our population, following the bent of
their education and traditions, see ft to

The ancient "form" Of Democracy
is sadly pied" in this state. The long
columns Of "ads,'' the display" the
"leaded matter" and the solid
acanaon" and "nonparciI, "pica and
''breyier," all lie in one confused ium-
bic, not worth the trouble Of asserting
and fit only to 90 into the shell-box"
as cold metal" But we drop the mel
ancho!y simile--it is. altogether too
productive Of unpleasant reflections.
The jangle and uproar which arose
in the Democratic ranks a few weeks
since in regard to the time of holding
their State convention toned down as
the summer advanced but the late action
of their State committee in calling said
convention at Milwaukee, seems to
have struck the whole keyboard a
clashing blow, and the hideous uproar
rises again with tenfold greater fury and
violence than before. Aside from the
fun it affords outsiders, this rumpus
among our Democratic brethren is of
little account, and neither It's contin-
uance nor cessation matters so far as
general results are concerned. The
most important observation we have
been able to make thus far, and one
which shows the extent of the turmoil
and how thoroughly the fountains of
their deep are broken up, is the fact
that the editors of the Lacrosse and
WATERFOWL Dcmocrotsat last stand side
by side, in loving accord, both adVoca-
ting the same policy.
"Both our hearts go pitapat, pitapat,
Both eur brains go whirligig, whirligig,
Both our tongues go wiggle WaggIe, wig
gle waggle,
You and | in sympathy"
Surely the world moves, though it
may not progress-there is change if
not Ieform.

Wn~EaAao Cry. MINI, July 80, 1859.
BIS Republican -
Thinking that few lines from this sec
lion Of country might not prove uninter-
esting to some of your readers, venture to
write you. Winnebago City, a small inland
town of the Blue Earth Valley, whe re am
ot present sojourning with a friend, and
where, Providence permitting, I intend
shortly to take up my abode, is situated
about l25 miles west of the Mississippi riv
er, Of which the Minnesota is o tributary,
and one mile from the Blue Earth, q tribu-
tary to the Minnesota, and is in every re-
speot desirable place in which to locate.
It's population, as general thing, consist
ing of energetic New England people, who
appears to have commenced life in good
earnest
The surface of the country here is truly
beautiful, presenting one continuous undu-
lating prairie land, interspersed here and
there along banks of lakes, rivers and
creeks with heavy belts Of timber, among
which the maple, black walnut, and cotton
wood appears to predominant. There are
also several fine mill-8ites in the vicinity,
and many fine bluffs, the picturesqueness
Of which can only he enhanced by cultiva-
ted vineyards and blooming orchards. The
soil is invariably good; there are several
fine bearing orchards in this vicinity con-
tanning some Of the choicest of fruit. Some
Of the citizens have fine looking peach
trees, several of which, am informed, are
bearing an abundance of peaches this sea-
son and it is no hiscredit to Jefferson
County, Wis, that quite goodiy variety
of the fine fruit trees, vines, shrubbery, &C.,
come from that section of your state.
immigration has been very active here
since early spring. Some fine buildings
have been put up in town this season,
greatly improving the looks Of the place
even since my arrival. They expect the
cars 10 be running here by early spring. l
have seen some of the best country between
here and Jackson County in the Union and
some Of tie finest fields of grain, minus
fences. The women nd dogs are generally
left to guard the crops, and it is no unusual
thing, when q coun trYman meets an ac-
quaintance in town, for the following dia-
logue to take place: Lady-"Why did you
not bring your wife ?" Counuyman-"Oh:
she had to stay at home and be fence"
''Wkare is Mrs. sob, she's fence" To
the uninitiated the above sounds decidedly
odd.
The country is rapidly settling up and
properly fast changing hands. New buildings
are looming up all over the prairies like
mushrooms, and about as large Hundreds
and hundreds of acres of land have been
'brolle" here during the past few weeks,
People commenced harvesting abouta week
ago, and there is every prospect Of q heavy
yield. Corn is looking fnely Y, SO are hops.
I have seen only one hop yard, however, and
that is Of but one years growth. frequent
Iy meet Wateptown people here, both in
town and country, and learn from them
that still more are coming. Glad to hear
it; hope we shall have the pleasure Of shak-
ing hands with old friends.
Yours Truly, NORMAN SLIEER.
