The Territorial Democratic Convention at
NJ idson, with table annexed exhibiting
the seventeen ballo;ings, which resulted in
the nomination of the Hon. MORGAN l..
MARTIN as the democratic candidate for
Delegate in Congress-.
There was much diversity Of opinion
among the members of the convention with
regard to the ia liridnal on whom it was
deemed most expedent the nom nation
should fall; but as they were assembled to
represent the sentiment of :he Democracy
OF Wisconsin-;o sacrtincc personal prefer
ances 10 public principles, q 10 concentrate
upon some individual in oar ranks worthy
10 become the standard bearer of the Tori
tory there was no difficulty, no hesitation
il every members coming hearty and en-
Enthusiastically into the support OF tie nom-
nee. And perhaps there is not another
Democrat in the Territory, who would so
universally have united the 'riole party in
his support, as MORGAN L.. MARTIN A
residence ofseventeen years in Wisconsin
has given him as horoagh knoNl dgo of
the Interests of the Territory, and The wants
of the people. as perhaps any other man
in it; and BIS talents. his probily, and his
sagaciy, will enable him 10 accomplish as
much for US at Washington as any other
person that could be sent from the Terri
tory, aside from Gov. DopGE.-Racine
