It; is clear that the American Government
does not limit its views to the incorporation of

but that the' vicinity of Texas to the chief min

RACINE.
This is the name of a young town, sit
uated on the Western margin of Lake Mi
chigan, in the Territoryof Wisconsin, a
way up yonder here the bleak North

be a pretty thriving and business place

Mushroom : It has not the mature, the firm,
the compact nerve and muscle of a town
of more gradual growth, and may not, like
them, withstand the test of changes and
of time. Col. Pmxo White, late a citizen
of this State, and formerly a resident of
Salisbury, is now living in Racine and is

one many, with impunity, attack this new
dot on the Green Earth, without hearing
from the Colonel, and that too, in the most
genteel, and, at the some time, most scorch
ing manner. He has a warm heart and
a cool headend wherever the affections
of the former concentrate, the powers of
the latter involuntarily fall in to labor for.
May the Colonel live to see Racine flour
ish and grow until it can boast a popula
tion as large and wealth as great as his
most ideal city.
Wisconsin Territory is a rich, fertile
country and is rapidly filling up. The Nor
thern part is hilly and mountainous, but
elsewhere it is generally level, contain
ing many extensive prairies. Its min
erals, are lead, iron and copper. Its lead
mines are probably the richest in the
world.
The Rev. James A. Wallace, late of
Mississippi, but a native of North Caroli
na, preached in the Presbyterian Church
in this town on Sabbath morning and Sab
bath evening last. It was pleasing to hear
the bell, which has, for some weeks, been
silent, toll out again ; and toee those
who were wont to obey its summon, again
assembling to worship their Creator.
Mr. Wallace delivered a sermon on
Tuesday evening also, addressed. nartiVn.
larly, to young men, which we wish every
young man m the Country could have
heard.

sufficient to assure us of the election of a Whig
majority in both branches cf t je legislature;-.
The aggregate vote o( the State is materiall;
less than that of last year, and this falling off,
we observe, is more generally on the part of the
Whigs than either of the other parties. The
abolition vole is, doubtless, ! ightly increased.
We shall not, iherefbre, be disappointed should I
Mr. Sivde lack a few votes of ah "election r hy.

-The election-of Governor, it is likely:
will again devolve upon t ie Legislature,
tlie common result of tliird-partyism in

majority in the House of iUpresentatis,
