Thy hetir of trial Jrawc-th nigh ;
Now crown thv brow with Freedom's light,

Ami wave her starry banner high.
I An eager nation ’’aits thy voice ;

We hold our breath—wc stand in awe—
We well L» see thy mighty hand

Doom traitors to a hell of shame.

J. S. Elwell, E«q.. of tho Hudson
North Star, lias been nominated for tlie
Assembly bv the Union men of this dis

noble position he has inantained since
the war broke out.
‘ Mr. Elwell is a young man, but ho
has tact and talent, an I there is work in
him. He will 'make a useful an i effec
tive member of the Legislature.
j Wc cannot better show his position
ibnn bv copying the following paragraphs
written by him several weeks since, be
fore his name was spoken nf in connec
tion with the nomination.
•-A man is not worthy to lie called an
American citizen who will not stand by his
country's flag in such an hoar as this! He

perform in th’* great etrugijle—and unless h“
performs his jutrt well, the day i* corning
* when the fii _er of scorn will be pointed at
him. and his name become a reproach.
• Stand by the Government! ‘'l iirough good
er evil report.’ let it not be said that yon fal
tered hr hung back. Stand by the I’resident.
1 If he js weak, help to strengthen him—be
-1 cause he is part of the Government, lie is the
Comniander-in-Chiet of the armies anti nnvios
1 of the Nation, and l>c he .Republican or Dem

Lyman Kidder Esq. of’Star Prairie.
St. Croix County, is the Democratic
nominee for Assemblyman iu this Dis
trict. Mr. Kiddkr is a middle aged,
well-to-do mnn. and socially well liked.
If elected, he would wear good clothes,
drink good liquors, play a good hand at
whist or euchre, and vote with the Cop
porheads every tiftie.
We have no doubt but Mr. Kidd’er
expect* Mr. Elwell to beehetoi, and
so will keep right on with hi-ifal! plow

A story is being circulated fur the

effect thnt if ho, f Winn) is elected, Mr

are authorized to positively contradict

personally serve, and th* duties of the

At the same lima, the county has nev

i>. M. i.rsn,
1 D. M. Lusk of tliiscilv, hns received
the Democratic nomination for State Sen
ft’or.
We sympathize with “Kin,’’ in this af
fliction, but still wo believo tho nomina
tion is one eminently fit to be made. Mr.
Lusk has VJt the crushing weight of the
“Lincoln Government, ’’ very keenly, lio
bns spoke of it. Ho has denounced it.
IL' has struck tragic altitudes; wrun-r
b’s hands; hugged ft copy of the Consti
tution to his wn’Btcdat; and waiied over
; tho stricken and departed rights of Amer
ican citizenship.
' To be brief Mr. Lusk is one of those
who are seriously alarmed bv what he
deemathe infractions of the Constitution,
by the Administration, and is a fitting
; candidate for that party which is so short
t sighted tint it sees impending danger in
thtj per Son of a Provost Marshal, and is
deaf to the roar of rebel guns, and blind
i . ,
to the sight of a hundred thousand rebels
:n arms fur the overthrow of the Govcrn
ernntent. We wish those who sympa
thise with Mr. Lusk's views to vote for
■ hint; bitt be will baldly bo elected.

Kn. Joi-RVAi. —I notice in your issue of
the 3d inst.. in the prCcceuirg® of the Demo
cratic Convention held at Ellsworth, Sept.,

Thanking my friends for the intended

I Prescott, Oct..«.
Dr. Dkacdsluv has published a letter
in the Milwaukee Jam. giving his reasons for
supporting the Palmer ticket A careful
reading <»t the letter discovers to us only one
reason ; that is. he does not believe the Ad
ministration is carrying on the war for the
suppression of th? relx-llinn, but for the ex
ti net inn of slavery, and so he cannot support
the Administration.
As but few loyal men believe with the Dr.
in this rcs;s'ct. i is course will find but feeble
just ifiic.it ion. The extinction ot slavery mav
come from the war—we earnestly hope it will
—1 it if so, like the the loss of life in the army
or the devastation of the border Statcs.it will
l»e one of the necessary accomaniments of the
war—not one of its objects.
It is fitting that th- Dr. makes his avowal
in the Ne»r*. —a paper which is intensely
Copperhead.—a paper whose sunny side is
always turned to the South. —a paper whose
only utterances concerning the Government
are those of carping criticism, frigid faithless
ness and poisonous distrust Two years ago.
the Dr. violently opposed the Aw*. It is now
what it was then. Hr rccotd is consistent,
hut black with treason, but half concealed.
John Winn.—Tud local editor of the
Hastings Sir'll western Democrat , says;
We notice by the Prescott Journal
thnt our old conirmlo in arms. John
Winn has received the nomination for
Clerk of the Bo m! of Supervisors. We
hope that every Voter in Pierce county,
whether Democrat or Republican, male
or female, will give him tho full benefit
of their vote.

In the clear September moonlight.
Dark the sliadowed bluffs arise ;
And the river, calm and silent.
One broad sheet of silver lies.
Like a frame, the leafy hill sides
Clasp the dreamy picture round,
And I gaze with spirit joyous.
By the spell of beauty bound.
Gliding o’er thu burnished mirror;
Oft his oar the boatnrm dips ;
So the glowing Past is shaded.
By our gflidng Uiwtights’ eclip.se.
Bright, broad rivar, flow forever.
In the moonlight to the sea ’
But ’.hose olden days thou never —
Never can'at return to n.e ’
Ce&sel.-as river—sidly flowing!
Shadowy barks.like thought dtpAlr,
Slowly cross thy gleaming waters.
But they catch the light again.
Dark thy rocky banks rise o'er thee.
Dim and dusky in the night;
But their summits woo the inoonlwariis.
Anil are touched with heavenly light.
Life is rich and Nature lavish.
Providence is large a* Fate ;
Many a joy is hid in secret.
For the sad ami desolate.
After sunset, clonds of crimson ;
After twilight, comes the moon ;
And still later lingers starlight—
Still the morning’s daily boon.
Still the cloud that lowers the darkest.
Holds the blessing of the rain—
And the grief that stuns the iiecprtJ;
Hath another touch than pain.
