Jn this, the democrats of Waukcsha county naturally take a deep interest, and will, we donbt not, by a united delegation, ask the re-nomination of WILLIAM A. BABSTOW.

Other candidates have been named in their own localities-capable and worthy men-who would hnre receive the party vote. But the preferences of the masses have been so clearly expressed in nearly all parts of the State, in fa- favor of the present incumbent of the chief Executive office, as to place the matter beyond doubt or controversy. LOUD JOHN RUSSELL was compelled to resign. because at Vienna he had agreed to. the Austrian terms of peace.

This was instantaneously rejected by Louis Napoleon and the British government. The war feeling does dominate or Lord John Russell would have been able to hold on to office.

There arc very few who appreciate the vastness of the upper Mississippi trade, a greater portion of which our city must command. a political split in Minnesota Gov. Gorman's friends seceded and nominated DAVID OL.VSTED as their candidate for Congress. H.

M. RICE was the regularly nominated democratic candidate, but he signed him a petition for the removal of Gov. Gorman, this has engendered a most bitter fend between the partisans of Gov. Gorman and those of M. RIOE.

Mr. Rice is a man of decided fine address, and has generally made an efficient representative in the last Congress but with the split in the party, his election is hardly probable. The politics of Minnesota is marked by even more acrimonious personal feuds than have distinguished the politics of Wisconsin. Gov. Gorman, a sincere, outspoken man, does not disguise his implacablehostillty to H.M.

RICE. They are not even on speaking terms, fecn. SHIELDS rather sides with Mr. Rice, as Shields lntcnst AefoM would like Gorman's place. Henry Slbley, an influential man and an ex delegate, acts with Gorman.

The corn in this vicinity looks healthy, but backward; yet, if the frosts hold off as late as they usually do, we shall have a good crop of corn.

"We must; France and England are determined to take it."

Russia triumphs morally, if she can retain the fortress. Mr.

PAUL BATES, of London, bas excited a good deal of astonish- ishment in fashionable circles, as it was their favorite banking house. The debts exceed the liabilities about 42,800,000. The worst part of the business is, that, not content with tbe deposits of their customers, they have made away with their securities, left in the bank for safe-keeping, to the amount of more than £100,000. This is contruotive felony, and the three partners have been placed in the felon's dock and charged with that offence. The sufferers by this failure are principally among the aristocracy and the rich people in fashionable life.

Admiral Sir Charles Napier has lost much of bis property, and Mrs. Boxer, the widow of Admiral Boxer, just deceased, the whole of her hueband's savings by this failure. The Bank of England lias in consequence of this failure established a branch in the West End, ihe fashionable quarter of London.

Milwaukee University. The exposition of the Trustees, which we publish to-day, relative to the objects of this institution, and its present position, deserves to be carefully read.

It is a clear and cogent statement of the advantages of such on institution in our midet, and we trust that it will receive the attention it so well merits. It is a favorable time to place the institution on a permanent basis. The acceptance of Dr. WILEY, as Chancellor, will go far to give it an energetic, able, and influential head. The erection of a suitable building is a matter of the first importance, and we trust that it will be carried out in that enlarged and liberal public spirit, which has marked the improvements of Milwaukee.

TUE NEW inquiries of the gentlemen who own the land, where the News and the Sentinel place the hotel, we find that they know less about the matter than the city reporters. We therefore have come to the conclusion that the Sentinel and the News have been humbugged, by some transient person, who let off his gas within their vigilant inspection. There is no doubt that a new hotel will be built at some time or other, but not by the party whom the Sentinel formally announced, as the great hotel magician. His name, we believe, is Col. Taylor.

Will the Sentinel inform us whether he is in the regular army? He certainly has made a military sensation here. THE RACINE DEMOCRAT says that Mr. BOOTH deserves the nomination of Governor from the fusion convention, as he has done so much to build up that party. The fusion leaders are preparing to bowstring Mr. Booth; but his neck is tough and they may find it no easy job.

Tbe Jenny Lind Club is particularly opposed to the nomination of Mr. Booth. The Sentinel represents the remains of the Jenny Lind but that journal has not yet acquired courage sufficient to oppose Mr. Booth's nomination tho' it desires to take that side.

NEW SOURCE OF BEEF CATTLE for the American time since the Philadelphia North American called the attention of the merchants and butchers of that city to the fact that ample supplies of beef cattle for their markets might easily be obtained at a low cost from the immense herds which abound in the Republic of Venezuela.

The idea was immediately embraced by several parties, who have gone to Venezuela to contract for cattle, to be brought hither. The number mentioned is 150,000 head, but we presume that, should the enterprise prove remunerative, a steady importation thence will be kept up. As regards the quality of these Venezuelan beeves, it is said that it is of an excellent quality. They are of the Spanish spike-horned breed, to be Been in some parts of Louisiana and Texas.

He was equally eminent as a practical agriculturist. The Pnseys are said to have been settled at Pusey prior to the Conquest, and CHARLES S. WRIGHT, a prominent and public spirited citizen of Racine, died of malignant erysipelas, on Friday last.

THE farmers of our county, says the Oshkosh Democrat of the 28 are now engaged in securing the richest harvest we ever saw growing, in any country. Winter wheat is nearly all harvested in good condition, and will be a great yield, we think, averaging through the country nearly or quite twenty- five bushels per acre. Spring wheat, oats, barley, corn, potatoes, and in fact everything growing, promises a good yield, If prices hold np even moderately high, our farmers will be flooded with money. THE SEVEN DAY WET TERM in New York, has frightened the farmers awfully. They talk loudly about "a ruined crop." Their fears no doubt have exaggerated- the reality, but there has been real, serious injury.

The Rochester Democrat of the 28th says: "The hay crop also suffers pretty severely. Several intelligent formers in Brighton estimate that 250 to 300 acres have been cut in that town, nearly all of which has been soaking for a week in the rain, and is almost entirely worthless. Mr. McGonegal, of IrondequoU, had 20 tons cut, and thinks he will lose the whole. There is no donbt that the damage to wheat and hay is very than has been known for many years, after reaching maturity; but, we repeat, there is no reason to predict a famine or high prices.

I. ITS ORIGIN. It originated in the actual educational waits of the city. For some considerable time-it existed as an unchartered institution, and during this period, under the instruction of different teachers, and with a commendable measure of success, it afforded the means of education on a more extended scale than in the public or primary schools of the city.

At a later stage, the views of its friends having enlarged with the progress of time, and the growth of city iteell, the idea was conceived of establishing a literary institution on a more liberal that should embrace different departments, and at least, fill the place with efficiency of a Commercial and Classical Agreeably to this suggestion, an outline was drawn up and a plan adopted, and on the 10th day of November, 1851, tbe institution went into effect on a larger scale, under'the name and designation of University Institute of Milwaukee. Soon after this, the subject of a University charter began to be agitated, and in due time, through the persevering exertions of the friends of education in our city, the proposed charter was obtained, conferring upon the Board of Trustees all the powers that are commonly embraced and exercised in other universities. This charter bears date the 4th of March, 1852, and under its authority, the academical department of the University has been organized and conducted up to the present time. Thus matters remained for nearly three years, with little abatement of interest and no relinquishment of design on the part the Trustees, but at the same time with no distinct step in advance, until finally in February of tbe present year it was resolved after due deliberation, to organize the college depart raent of the University; and as the first step in this important movement, the present Chancel lor has been appointed. It thus appears tha the scheme of a University for Milwaukee has been gradually unfolded, and that the cause education has made a steady advance with tin wants of the city; and it is only a fair pre sumption from the deliberate and yet forward character of this movement that no retrograd steps will ever be taken, but that, in due time the city of Milwaukee will have its Universit adequately endowed and amply supplied with the means of academical, collegiate, and pro- cient," A wet harvest is such an unusual thing in western New York, that they feel about as we did in Wisconsin four years ago, when the rot destroyed thiee-quarters of our wheat.

A Worn ABOUT THE have said heretofore says the Racine Democrat, that we were neither Barstow nor anti-Barstow, but for the best man for Governor. We must say however that the abuse heaped on BARSTOW by the unprincipled among his opponents, including almost all the leaders and the whole Jenny Lind Club, has so greatly strengthened him with democrats and others that we not only think his chance for a nomination the best of any man in the party, but are satisfied that his chance for an election is better than that of any man in the State. fessional instruction. II. WHAT is CONTEMPLATED.

Nothing less ifi contemplated in tbe final re suit than to fill oat the scope of the Legislativ charter so as to realize at as early a period as may be practicable, the full proportions of city University, such as has been recently tablished at Rochester in New York, and exis in other cities in our land. This would require according to the European model, three dine ent Grammar school or A ademical department; the Gymnasium or Co legiate department; and the University prop or Professional department, and would deman in order to complete its entire circle of instru tion, besides the usual faculty of science an letters, faculties of law, medicine, and if deem ed expedient, of theology also. The Trustees and projectors of the Universi of Milwaukee, are well aware that so extendi a scheme as this will demand large resources, and that much time must be expected to elapse before it con reach anything like a mature development. But they see no reason why commencement should not be made with the whole project distinctly in view, and they indulge the confident hope that while they are providing for the immediate and urgent wants of the city, in a progressive course oi liberal education, the rapid growth of population, and the increasing prosperity of the community will at no distant day, carry forward to completion what to some less sanguine minds may have at the present moment a visionary and premature appearance. III.

WHAT is AT PRESENT INTENDED. It is proposed at the present time, or at the opening of the Fall Term of the Institution to put into existence the Gymnasium or Collegiate department, in an incipient form, and with such resources of instruction as the Trustees shall be able to command. Provision will be made for the instruction of a freshman and sophomore class in the branches that are commonly pur- ise of the icholf mind, rather than to any im- ediate or specific sphere of life that may be aguely entertained, and the aim will be not 3 much to traverse numerous subjects of study, to gain at every step the substantial and jermanent fruits of a genuine and thorough iscipline; multun, nan multa is the motto to be inscribed on a true system of educational disciple. 4. Provision will be made hereafter, if it should be thought advisable for an optional ouree of scientific study to follow after the ophomore year; to allow it earlier.it is thought, would only disturb the regular course of study, nd weaken the efficiency of a uniform instruc- on, without being attended with any useful or esirablc result.

5. Inasmuch as the University building which is proposed to erect will embrace only public and will not be furnished with private ormitories for the Students; the immediate iscipline of the Institution will be limited to Iniversity hours; and during this period the rictest order and decorum will be exacted, whil'st the aid of parents and of guardians, and le influence of a natural and healthful social estraint will be invoked, and may be expected mould and to regulate the demeanor of stu- ents at other times. It is believed, and such getting to be the settled opinion of thinking id experienced men.that such a system as this to be preferred to the secluded or monastic ystem of the country less oner- us and perplexing to the faculty on the one more natural, genial and happy for lie student on the other. VL CONCLUDING REMARKS. Thus much the Trustees have thought it pro- aer to present in answer to any inquiry that nay be made or interest that may be felt res- lectingthe Institution under their Jhey trust they need say nothing to show the mportance of their enterprise to the city of filwaukee.

Why may not a place so rich in na. turai advantages and in commercial prosperity! he centre in fact and in prospect of numerous railroads and the outlet of a back country of unbounded place that is destined, ere long to double its population and always .0 hold a pre eminent position among the cities of the Westr-why may not such a place have its own university! what would have a greater tendency to draw to it a desirable class of in- labitants than to surround it with a literary atmosphere and thereby to add to its natural ad. vantages the attractions of learning and the amenities of social cultivation and refinement. Let the enterprizc of the citizens of Milwaukee be enlisted in behalf of this feasible project and let there be put into existence on some slightly and eligible spot a University Edifice that shall unite architectural taste with convenience and utility in its public rooms, and in the judgment of the present board of Trustees, they would be consulting not merely for the welfare of their children, and the interests of solid learning, but, if it be not improper to appeal to so low a motive, they would be contributing powerfully to the material prosperity of our favored city, and with it to the valuo aud augmentation of their own. private fortunes.

District Court, is exciting a good deal of feeling, because this decision if carried out, virtually extends slavery over the whole New Orleans to the St. Lawrence. The Judge openly takes the ground that a person from New Orleans or Texas, has a right to travel with his negroes, and hold them as slaves, in all the free States. His statement is so brief and direct, that there is no mistaking it. It is in these words: I know no statute of Pennsylvania which affects to divest the rights of property of a citizen of North Carolina, acquired and asserted under the laws of that State, because be has found it needful or convenient to pass through the territory of Pennsylvania.

I am not aware that any such statute, if such a one were shown, could be recognized as valid in a Court of the United States. This of caurse, extends the state laws of Virginia and South Carolina, over New York, and New England, for if a man has a right to travel and hold his negroes as slaves, in State, who shall limit the time that he may need to Complete his journey. One man might require a. week, another a month, and thus slavery would be gradually re-introduced into all the free States. Horse stealing is punished as murder, in some of the Southern States, but it does not follow, that a man who would steal a horse from a transient Southerner, in New York or Ohio, should be punished as a murderer.

The same principle applies to slavery. Slavery is sustained uy the local law, and when it leaves that jurisdiction, it must obey the law of the State where it goes. Any other doctrine virtually annihilates State Sovereignty, and establishes a national despotism. We regret that Judge KANE should have made this declaration of the new higher law of slavery. It will serve to deepen and concentrate the sectional war now growing up out of the Kansas rascalities, and the repeal of the Missouri there is a natural feeling of alarm among the most moderate.

Where will these encroachments end is the in- etinctive question of all parties in the free States. THE HARVEST in western Wisconsin.
