We would tell this Mr. Mathews, that if ever
'ho should visit western'Wisconsin, he will find tnat
irtMen'd of hedge for fences,"the people of this part
of the country use rail/, and- ho may get a ride ;
also, that when wo want a lecture upon slavery,. from a foreigner, we will call upon such men as
Captain,Barclay, an enlightened Briton,.who, in
■ speaking of Amerien, soys', “to my great mid a
greeable surprise, I found slaveiy heie possesses
none of the honors I had at home been accustom
ed xo,hear connected with it—for the slave*
are well clothed, nod well fed, and kindly
treated, and to all appearance contented and hap
py; -and indeed, 1 should say their condition phys
ically, is one of great comfort and enjoyment, in
comparison with that of our own manufacturing
population ; by thousands of whom, 1 cannot doubt,
it would, in relation to the necessaries of life, oo
looked upon with envy.”
The Milwaukos Courier aa;a; “The Executive
oigaa ia endeavoring to aufl-aoap the Grant County
Herald into his Exrellency’a support”—and then
asks, wi.U'it take?. To this we. aay, nix. Apro
pos of soft-soap and the markets—we wish the
Courier would occasionally publish th.e selling price
of Lead at Milwaukee* If it will, “Old Snake”
may be induced to send a few thousand pigs over
on trial. Ob, for a good road across the Ternio

McRDiRg.—W« noticed in a iate western jour
nal, accounts of no less than twenty murders com
mitted tn difleieut parts of ths country. ■ Reading
tlioee accounts, b.ought to mind the following re
marks ofßulwer:
“It may be observed, that there are certain years
in which, in a civilized country, some particular. Cl line comes into vo^ue —at one lime we have burk- I
ing—than poisoning—then stabbing—then -hooting
—Almost sssry year there is one crime peculiar to
it—a son ol annual which overrurs the country. 1
Unquestionably the i’ress has a g>eal deal to do 1
with theta vpidem.es. Let a newspaper give an
account ol some atrocity, and all of a sudden, in a
hundred different places, the one seed sown by the
leaden types, spring up into foul fluweting.”
Th*ve remark! w* belie** will brer with full
force upon th* Preu ol our country.
