ATTEMPTED REMOVAL OF THE COUNTY SEAT.
The location of the county seat upon "the prairie," so long as the population was largely confined to that locality, was not, of course, felt to be a matter of inconvenience ; but when the population had spread over the whole country the matter was looked upon by many in a differ- ent light. Action was finally taken in the mat- ter; and, in 1859, the following act was passed by the Legislature:
[Published March 24, 1859].
An Act for the removal of the county seat of Crawford county.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, repre- sented in the Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows :
SECTION 1. That at the next general election, to be held in the county of Crawford in this State, the qualified electors of said county shall be, and they are hereby authorized to vote for the removal of the county seat of said county, from Prairie du Chien to the southeast quarter of the northwest quarter, of section sixteen (16), township number nine (9), north of range number five, (5), west, which last named place is hereby fixed as the point to which it is hereby proposed to remove said county seat; and if a majority of all the votes cast upon that subject at such elec- tion be in favor of such removal, then the said southeast quarter of the northwest quarter of section sixteen, (16), township number nine, (9), north, of range number five, (5), west, shall be the permanent county seat of said county.
SEC. 2. The votes cast on the subject of said removal of the county seat as above provided, shall be by ballot, said ballot shall have written or printed on them, or partly written and partly printed the words, "For the removal of the county seat to the southeast quarter of the northwest quarter of section sixteen, (16), town- ship number nine, (9), north, of range number five, (5), west," or the words, "Against removal of county seat to the southeast quarter of the northwest quarter of section sixteen, (16), town- ship number nine, (9), north, of range number five west, said ballots shall be deposited by the inspectors of election in a separate box to be by them provided for that purpose.
SEC. 3. At the close of the polls the said votes shall be publicly canvassed by the inspec- tors of election in the several towns, who shall respectively draw np a statement in writing, set- ting forth in words at full length, the whole num- ber of votes given for the removal of the county seat to the southeast quarter of the northwest quarter of section sixteen, (16), township num- ber nine, (9), north, of range number five, (5), west, and, the whole number of votes given against the removal of the county seat to the southeast quarter of the northwest quarter of section sixteen, (16), township number nine (9),

SEC. 4. In case a majority of the votes as aforesaid canvassed, shall be for removal of the county seat to the southeast quarter of the northwest quarter of section sixteen, (16), township number nine, (9), north of range num- her five, (5), west, then and in that case, the county seat of said county shall be at the said southeast quarter of the northwest quarter of section sixteen (16), township number nine, (9), north, of range number five, (5), west, otherwise said county seat shall be and remain at Prairie du Chien.
Sec. 5. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage.
Approved March 5, 1859.
But this law was not acted upon, so, in 1861, it was revised and amended as follows:
[Published April, 22, 1861.]
An Act to revise and amend chapter 45 of the General Laws of 1859 entitled "An Act for the removal of the county seat of Crawford county."
The people of the State of Wisconsin, repre- sented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follones :
SECTION I. Chapter forty-five of the General Laws of 1859 entitled "An act for the removal of the county scat of Crawford county," is here- by revised and amended as follows:
Ist. By striking out from the first section of said aet the words "next general election" where they occur in said section, and inserting in lien thereof the words and figures "general election for the year 1861."
2d, By adding to the fourth section of said aet the following proviso: "Provided, that if a majority of all the votes cast at said election upon the subject, be in favor of such removal, the records and offices of said county shall re- main at Prairie du Chien, and the circuit and county courts of said county shall be held there until fire-proof offices are provided at the new county seat of said county, sufficient for the con- venient and safe keeping of all the records of said county, and the convenient accommodation of all the county officers of said county who are or may be by law entitled to have offices furn- ished at the expense of the county, and until a proper room is provided for holding courts at said new county seat."
SEC. 2. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage and publica- tion
Approved April 13, 1861.
The history of the effort made to remove the county seat near to the geographical center of the county (in the town of Seneca) is briefly this:
Prairie du Chien being in the extreme south western part of the county, an effort was put forth, by a number of the citizens of the county, remote from that place, to have the seat of government removed to a more central point. In 1861, for the purpose of encouraging the people to vote for the removal of the county seat, a company was formed and sufficient stock was subscribed, to erect a court house, which should be at the service of the county, until such time as the county should think proper to erect a more ex- tensive building. The site selected for the building was on section 16, township 9 of range 5 west, about one inile southwest of the village of Seneca. A building was erected at a cost of about $1,500. The stock was divided into shares of $10 cach; the prime mover in the enterprise was Dealton Tichenor. There being no court house at that time at Prairie du Chien, it was supposed that the erection of a building
494
IHISTORY OF CRAWFORD COUNTY.
suitable for court purposes and presenting the same to the county, would have a strong influ- ence when the vote was taken for the removal of the county seat; this hope was verified at the election in the fall of 1861. It is said that the proposition to remove the county seat to Seneca received a majority of the votes cast, but that
through some technical point of law, or artful management on the part of the opposers of the movement, the enterprise was defeated. But the building which might have been a court house still stands, and is at present used as a dwelling house.

CHAPTER XXIV.
THE WAR FOR THE UNION.
Before entering upon a consideration of the part taken by the citizen soldiers of Crawford county, in the great contest between the slave owners of the south and the lovers of freedom in the north, it is proper to dwell for a brief period upon the canses leading to the conflict of arms and the incipient steps taken by the gen- eral and State governments in arousing and marshalling the hosts of liberty-loving men who afterward so grandly kept step to the music of the Union.
WISCONSIN'S FIRST EFFORTS.
When Wisconsin was first called upon to aid the general government in its efforts to sustain itself against the designs of the secession con- spirators, the commercial affairs of the State were embarrassed to a considerable degree by the depreciation of the currency. The designs of the secessionists were so far developed at the ending of the year 1860, as to show that resist- ance to the National authority had been fully determined on. It is not a matter of wonder, then, that Gov. Randall, in his message to the Legislature, early in January, 1861, should have set forth the dangers which threatened the Union, or should have denied the right of a State to secede from it.
"Secession," said he, "is revolution ; revolu- tion is war; war against the government of the United States is treason." "It is time," he con- tinued, "now, to know whether we have any government, and if so, whether it has any strength. Is our written constitution more than a sheet of parchment? The Nation must be lost or preserved by its own strength. Its
strength is in the patriotism of the people. It is time now that politicians become patriots ; that men show their love of country by every sacrifice, but that of principle, and by unwaver- ing devotion to its interests and integrity." "The hopes," added the governor, most elo- quently, "of civilization and Christianity are suspended now upon the answer to this ques- tion of dissolution. The capacity for, as well as the right of, self-government is to pass its ordeal, and speculation to become certainty. Other systems have been tried, and have failed; and all along the skeletons of Nations have been strewn, as warnings and land marks, upon the great highway of historic government. Wisconsin is true, and her people steadfast. She will not destroy the Union, nor consent that it shall be done. Devised by great, and wise, and good men, in days of sore trial, it must stand. Like some bold mountain, at whose base the great seas break their angry floods, and around whose summit the thunders of a thousand hurricanes have rattled-strong, unmoved, immovable-so may our Union be, while treason surges at its base, and passions rage around it, unmoved, immovable-here let it stand forever."
These are the words of an exalted and genu- ine patriotism. But the governor did not con- tent himself with eloquence alone. He came down to matters of business as well. He urged the necessity of legislation that would give more efficient organization to the militia of the State. He warned the legislators to make preparations also for the coming time that
496
HISTORY OF CRAWFORD COUNTY.
should try the souls of men. "The signs of the times," said he, "indicate that there may arise a contingency in the condition of the govern- ment, when it will become necessary to respond to a call of the National government for men and means to maintain the integrity of the Union, and to thwart the designs of men en- gaged in organized treason. While no unnec- essary expense should be incurred, yet it is the part of wisdom, both for individuals and States, in revolutionary times to be prepared to defend our institutions to the last extremity." It was thus the patriotic governor gave evidence to the members of both houses that he "scented the battle afar off."
On the 16th of January a joint resolution of the Legislature was passed, declaring that the "people of Wisconsin are ready to co-operate with the friends of the Union everywhere for its preservation, to yield a cheerful obedience to its requirements, and to demand a like obedi- ence from all others; that the Legislature of Wisconsin, profoundly impressed with the value of the Union, and determined to preserve it unimpaired, hail with joy the recent firm, dig- nified and patriotic special message of the Pres- ident of the United States; that they tender to him through the chief magistrate of their own State, whatever aid, in men and money, may be required to enable him to enforce the laws and uphold the authority of the Federal govern- ment,and in defense of the more perfect Union, which has conferred prosperity and happiness on the American people." "Renewing," said they, "the pledge given and redeemed by our fathers, we are ready to 'devote our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honors' in upholding the Union and the constitution."
The Legislature, in order to put the State upon a kind of "war footing," passed an act for its defense, and to aid in enforcing the laws and maintaing the authority of the general gov- ernment. It was under this act that Gov. Ran- dall was enabled to organize the earlier regi- ments of Wisconsin. By it, in case of a call
from the President of the United States to aid in maintaining the Union and the supremacy of the laws, to suppress rebellion or insurrection, or to repel invasion within the United States, the governor was authorized to provide in the most efficient manner for responding to such call; to accept the services of volunteers for service, in companies of seventy-five men each, rank and file, and in regiments of ten compa- nies of seventy-five men each, and to commis- sion officers for them. The governor was also authorized to contract for the uniforms and equipments necessary for putting such compa- nies into active service. $100,000 was appro- priated for war purposes; and bonds were authorized to be issued for that amount, to be negotiated by the governor for raising funds. It will be seen, therefore, that the exigencies of the times, for Fort Sumter had not yet been surrendered, were fully met by the people's rep- sentatives, they doing their whole duty, as they then understood it, in aid of the perpetuity of the Union.
llaving defended Fort Sumpter for thiry-four hours, until the quarters were entirely burned, the main gates destroyed, the gorge-wall seri- ously injured, the magazine surrounded by flames, and its doors closed from the effects of the heat, four barrels and three cartridges of powder only being available, and no provisions but pork remaining, Robert Anderson, major of the first artillery, United States army, accepted terms of evacuation offered by Gen. Beaure- gard, marehed out of the fort on Sunday after- noon, the 14th of April, 1861, with colors flying and drums beating, bringing away company and private property, and saluting his flag with fifty guns. This in brief is the story of the fall of Sumter and the opening act of the War of the Rebellion.
"Whereas," said Abraham Lincoln, President, in his proclamation of the next day, "the laws of the United States have been for some time past, and now are, opposed, and the execution thereof obstructed, in the States of South Caro-
-
497
HISTORY OF CRAWFORD COUNTY.
lina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, by combinations too pow- erful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by powers vested in the marshals by law." Now in view of that fact, he called forth the militia of the several States of the Union, to the aggregate number of 75,000, in order to suppress these combinations, and to cause the laws to be duly executed. "A call is made on you by to-night's mail for one regiment of militia for immediate service," tele- graphed the secretary of war to Randall on the same day.
THE STATE AROUSED.
In Wisconsin, as elsewhere, the public pulse quiekened under the excitement of the fall of Sumter. "The dangers which surrounded the Nation awakened the liveliest sentiments of pa- triotism and devotion. For the time, party fealty was forgotten in the general desire to save the Nation. The minds of the people soon settled into the conviction that a bloody war was at hand, and that the glorious fabric of our Na- tional government, and the principles upon which it is founded, were in jeopardy, and with a determination unparalleled in the history of any country, they rushed to its defense. On every hand the National flag could be seen dis- played, and the public enthusiasm knew no bounds. In city, town and hamlet. the burden on every tongue was war." "We have never been accustomed," said Gov. Randall, "to con- sider the military arm as essential to the main- tenance of our government, but an exigency has arisen that demands its employment." "The time has come," he continued, "when parties and platforms must be forgotten, and all good citizens and patriots unite together in putting down rebels and traitors." "What is money," he asked, " what is life, in the presence of such a crisis?"
Such utterances and such enthusiasm could but have their effect upon the Legislature, which it will be remembered, was still in session. So, although that body had voted to adjourn, sine
die, on the 15th of April, yet, when the moment arrived, and a message from the governor was received announcing that owing to the extra- ordinary exigencies which had arisen, an amend- ment of the law of the thirteenth of the month, was necessary, the resolution to adjourn was at once rescinded. The two houses thereupon not only increased the amount of bonds to be issued to $200,000, but they also passed a law exempt- ing from civil process, during the time of ser- vice, all persons enlisting and mustering into the United States army from Wisconsin. When on the seventeenth, the Legislature did adjourn, the scene was a remarkable one. Nine cheers were given for the star spangled banner and three for the Governor's Guards, who had just then tendered their services, the first in the State, under the call for a regiment of men for three months duty.
"For the first time in the history of this Fed- eral goverment," are the words of the gover- nor, in a proclamation issued on the 16th of April, "organized treason has manifested itself within several States of the Union, and armed rebels are making war against it." "The treas- uries of the country," said he, "must no longer be plundered; the public property must be pro- tected from aggressive violence; that already seized must be retaken, and the laws must be executed in every State of the Union alike." "A demand," he added, "made upon Wisconsin, by the President of the United States, for aid to sustain the Federal arm, must meet with a prompt response." And it did, and no where with more genuine enthusiasm than in Craw- ford county.
CRAWFORD COUNTY AWAKENED.
The county - of Crawford was not slow to move when it was clearly seen by her citizens that the Union was indeed aud in truth threaten- ed by armed rebellion and avowed secession.
On the 25th of April, the Courier said :
"We have neither space or time to comment upon the startling news with which the dis- patches and our exchanges come crowded.
498

HISTORY OF CRAWFORD COUNTY.
The most prominent feature in the north is the perfect unity of sentiment in favor of sustain- ing the Federal Government, in a war that now seems inevitable. The same determination that every where shows itself in the north has a complete counterpart in the whole people of the south. Every southern State has formed an alliance, and the two sections of the coun- try will meet in solid opposition. There is but one feeling at the north. There is but one sentiment at the south-north and south are now in direct opposition. The result is bonnd to be a sanguinary conflict, the like of which history does not record."
In another article in the Courier of the same date, the editor has this to say:
"Last Friday evening, after only an hour's notice, Union HIall was crowded with the most enthusiastic audience ever assembled in Prairie du Chien. It was composed of the most sub- stantial citizens of this vicinity, representing every class and every interest, every opinion and every party. They all seemed to be fully aroused to the importance of the events now transpiring, and had met together with one will to counsel and hear the suggestions of patriotic and practical men. Several speakers including the venerable chairman, spoke to the people calmly, deliberately and determinedly, but without rashness. The fact of a general civil war being already commenced, was freely dis- cussed and fearlessly confronted. The only sentiment of all was a common cause in support of the government, the constitution and the flag of the union, resolutions loyal to the gov- ernment were unanimously adopted; volunteers enlisted, and a subscription of over $300 sub- scribed to begin the work of organization. The feeling here is all on the side of sustaining the government in the enforcement of all con- stitutional law."
THE FIRST COMPANY ORGANIZED.
Early in May, 1861, a company under the three months' call was organized at Prairie du Chien-the first in the county; under the Presi-
dent's proclamation no more three months' men could be accepted; so the company was re-orga- nized under the three years call. The men left Prairie du Chien for Madison on the 25th day of June and on the 13th of July, were mustered into the service as company (., of the 6th Wisconsin regiment.
