We understand that an exhibition of "Union" "Dissolving Views" is to be given in this place some time the present week, by Harlow S. Orton, Esq., of Madison, who claims to be an old whig, but who is now a reputed member of the dark lantern fraternity, and of course a supporter of James Buchanan. We presume Mr. Orton will be assisted in the performance by Geo. B. Smith, the man who undertook the task of making Mr. Barstow Governor of Wisconsin by supplemental returns of votes never cast.
These gentlemen, we understand, are traveling together, exhibiting their "dissolving views," for the "benefit" of "Buck and Breck."
