Then is more good id within the of county than is generally cupposed, aad as far as experiments hare jeon made, it been found to yield well--al of agricultural products, not excepting cor being raised in a failure of The country is generally heavily timbered--pine and maple, the principal growth, with oak, linn, elm, ash, c. The climate is favorable, and its heaJthtulnew proverbial; the winters atom the same leagth in the eaatern latitude, and much more plascnt--there being generally leu snow, and rat re clear weather.

It now article of export; and will in lime be a it source of wealth ro the northern part of the Territory--its water-power and ita pine timber being alike There an now within tie of Brown, twelve or fourteen saw-mitlt; and three flouring or gristmills.

The fisheries of part of Wisconsin may also ben great soui ce of wealth. During the past two or three yean, aeyeral hundreds of have been annually exported from Green Bay. A.tStur{fctri Bay, in this county, plaster of a very superior cuaiity been discovered in large quantities, from the indications, it ia supposed that extensive bodies of inn may. be found and we have been informed by a gentleman, of Green Boy, th it a few yean ago, in the vicinity of Depere. coal lists found, which upon trial proved to be equal to the bituminous coal of Pennsylvania.

Th'ire can be no doubt but that, upon a geological survey of this county, its mineral wealth will be found to be extensive. Brown county possesses a combination of natural advantage: excelled by but comities in the Territory: and soon ae the which now ex it against with reference to climate and noil, give way to the light of truth, and tha many inducements which it out to immigrants become fully known and appreciated, its settlement and improvement cannot bat be rapid. GREEN BAT ia the principal town in this county, but not the seat of justice. Its distance from the seat of government of the Territory, by the usually Iravellel route, is about 150 miles. It is situated on a point of land formed by the junction of the Fox and Manitou rivers--bounded on the weat by the fomer stream, and on the north and east by the latte having thus, on three (idea, rivers oi sufficient depth and capacity to float vessels of the largest size that navigate the The finest natt ral harbor in the neighborhood of the lakes ia to be found here.

The present population of the town is between six and seven hundred. The nu Tiber of stores and shops within its corporate limilf is 61; dwelling houses 102. Its public buildings are, 3 handsome churcbea (Episcopal, Presbyterian and Methodist), three large botelg, and one town-house. There are three schools in this town. From ita white painted and r.eat looking dwelling-houses, its large and hotels, its glittering church- spires, a granger, in approaching the place, would be more likely to fancy hiiiuidf in the vicinity of some New England village, than near Green Buy and where he expected to find but a tew scattering log-cabins, or French huts, and Indian wigwams, with Siberian barrenness and desolation, he rtda a city, with a population intelligent, enterprising and refined, and a Country bloscoming as the rose." Green Bay, it is known, is the oldest town in the Territory.

A century and a half ago, this point was selected as a French trading post, and occupied as such almost exclusively, until some eight or ten yecrs since, when the importance of its situation atl 'acted the attention of an enterprising and intt Urgent capitalist, DAHIII, WHITNEY, whc purchased the land upon which the northern I ortion of Green Bay ia situated, and L-id out thi it part of town which called Xavarino. A ew years afterwards the southern portion of the tcwn was laid out, which bears the name of Astor." Our limits will not permit us to dwell particularly upon the early hiatory of this town, to sketch in growth, to speak of the causes of that growth, or to account for the late revulsion in ka affaire. Whatever may be the present embar of the town--however much it may hi ve suffered in its bunnrsa, or have decreased in population for the past year or two, the evils under which it labors are but temporary, It will grow, as the inviting country in rear-the valley of the Fox, of which it must be the mart --increases in settlements and improvements; and when the i avigation of the Fox river, (of the importance of which, in a national and territorial point of view, have frequently spoken,) is improved as contemplated, and the Poitage Canal, which is to connect river with tho Wisconsin, is completed, and a steamboat thereby opened from the great to tie Miinseip- pi, (and who ci doubt the aceomplahment ulti- matety of this pi ia it too much to that Green Bay, frotaits situation at the north-eaitem extremity of thi; great thoroughfare, from the extensive trade it must necessarily havo, will net be second, in point of prosperity and importance, to nny place west rf Buffalo, or north of St. 1 Four al ove, or of Green Bay, is Depere, the of justice of Brown county-pleasantly cituated on the south-eastern bank of the Fox.

This tn upeted forth as one of tho great es apoi which the democratic whig parly, 'hen in power, would act.

But is thuir pi ictieel So far, ia most of the mad for the Territory, the wishes peepK as expressed oy petition, have been itttcrly dcirega ded. In the town of wins (reeks ince, Mr. Kendall, the then Post-master, teaigne and the people sent on a memorial to ihe Dep designating an individual who would be acceptable as his successor. The DcfirLmcn paid no attention to this raemoriiJ, and appoin ed a Mr. GEIDLEV, who was not known to thu pec le as a candidate, and who ia the nobtolmnioq person that could have been selected.

Mr. JOIIH CAM IN, thx efficient and popular post-master at tbn plac baa been removed, which, of course, ho an uncompromising democrat, was to be oted; but the Depart. ment, instead of aapointh in his place one who had been recommended the people, selected an individual ho wo 3 notlu own ne candidate for the station, and 10, ind ed, if we are correctly informed, was as much jrprised as the public, in learning of his appoint r.ent, and has not yet, we understand, do up is mind to accept. He expected, a id had been recommended by his friends for a much higher ifRce, and his surprise in learning of bin itment as post-master was therefore, it unaccompanied with disappointment and chagr i. The change of post-m ister at Sonthport we presume wan not i i nccoc ance with any expres.

wish of the penple; i ad we doubt much if the person selected ver thought of by iho citizens of the tow.i for th office. In the selection o'thc Marshal for our Territory, the wishes of the people have'not been consulted. We have nott 'ng to say against Gen. will iloubi ess make an efficient officer; but we do-ibi mn being somewhat of a stranger in Wisconsin, whether he received a very general reootrm-itida on on the part of our citizens. Indeed, wo ha- not yet been able to find any one knew thi he an applicant for the office, and hb npj ointment has created very general surprise.

This is bnl the bejinni sg.

Allied before the and mmnben of the Democratic Whig" Association of FlatMTilla, on the 3d Tha production a characteristic OM-- bounding xr that of ami exhibiting tihat disregard of trath and propriety, fbt which author joillf in conrw a member of the lotrw branch of the Legislature, and which Rave him, even among the honest of iis own partv, any thing but an enviable reputa- ion, or a high standing. reverend gentle. man is anxious to beeotne the whig candidate for delegate to Congress but in his efforts far to mroduce himself to the attention of the public, al- ho' he may have gained notoriety, he haa had but ittle success in the way of getting a good name to boast of; and we place too high an estimate upon he good sense of the federal party in Wicconain, believe that he, however much er aealous may be his strivings, however ntunerona er windy may bis ipwches "jblmiiwd and published by par- icular requwt." will to saddle himself upon them as the whig nominee for otation to which he aspires, especially when they have so nany better men among them. It our intention to review, though briefly, such parts of this Flalteville Address are worthy of particular notice. The reverend gentleman begins with a mem of the causes which rendered a party organ- zation on the pan of the necessary, and gives, as the principal one, that the were the first to move upon Ihe subject, and that he whigs were forced to organize in eelf-dofonce.

Were this the fact, we should certainly feel no dis. ocition to deny it, being among those who believe hat no exeats or afflogy necessary for any endeavor, the object of which may be, by effect- ng an organization, to contribute to tho cuccess of democratic principles, upon which the public weftaro depends but the statement, however important it may be that the whiga should have apology to present lo the public fur uniting in the defence and for the promulgation of such principles they profess, we are compelled to say, is untrue. The did not lake the first step towards effecting a territorial organization. It was not until after the whig call tor a general convention to organise their party had made appearance, that the democrats made any movement with reference to the subject and their Conven tion for the purpose of organizing was not held, as ia well known, until a week alter the whig. The federal party, then, were into an organization by their opponents if there was nny force about it, it was on the other side but it is a small matter, in any point of and shows the weak ness of the party which is reduced lo thf pitiful extremity of resorting to such silly falsehoods tot the purpose of sustaining itself.

Mr. Brunson next to libel that branch of the legislature of which he was a member daring the last session. We make the following extract "Before the had time to bo Airly organized, it was discovered that the advantage gained by their success in two of the counties. and the accidental election of a sufficient number of Locos in other counties whrre pony lines bad not been drawn, by which they had a majority in the House, so inflated the vanity, and excited the zeal of certain leaders of the party, that every tiling nxrat be carried according to their wishes. It is true, they dittlaimtd parly views, but yet at the first ha.llot,one of their party was elected Speaker, nnd in every instance possible, the other of the House were chosen from the same political ischoit.

And to effect these purposes, several leading members oft the party were family engaged in the lobky, and by visiting and drilling members at their and elsewhere, in the into spirit of the tog-roiling system, and of toi'grti'n and sate, in the mean tfroc, ihe movements of these secret machinations from the- knowledge of the Whigs, till they announced, in astounding language, frum the ballot box ol' the House." The old gentleman, in giving utterance to the above statements, has departed widely ftom the truth, and wilfully eo. The democrats, it ia true, had a large majority in the House of Repicienta- tivea a mnjoiity which wao honorably and fairly obtained but that this majority was used for tho accomplishment of any party objects, that the Speaker was elected upon parly grounds, or that the officers of the House, in erory instance pos. were chosen from the political school, is untrue. Mr. Newland, it was generally thought, from his experience in parliamentary would make ns good a presiding officer couhl be selected, and ho was accordingly elected, without particular reference to hia politics, having, oc the 3rst ballot fourteen votes, while his princip il competitor, the Rev.

Alfred Branson, received but four As far ss the other of the House were concerned, if the democrats had been dis- posad, "In every instance pomibJe," lo support those only ol the same poCHcat aettool as themselves, must admitted that the whig applicants would have stood but a amall chance, and yet out of eight elected three were whigs 1 In a majority cases, we law political character of the applicant when electtd WM tin- mown, and in no case, if known, it taade a test. As farther and stronger proof ilmt the democrats in the legislature not governed by party feeling, we need but refer to the election of canal eotaminionan. Two oat of three fleeted were active and too, when the demo- critic majority en joint ballot eight ten. look like governed by pany'eon- and are the in the habit of pursuing a like liberal course when they in Uw'u- cendancyT It wonW have hem for own credit, if Mr. Brunson had left out thf which he concerning "kg rolling," bargain and salt," then being no member who, from eoune, could roon- suspected of be'tog operand apon bjr improper influences than himself, for certain ft in of movements, actuated by which oner codld have bad their origin ia any connected with the good.
