State Senator for Grant County.
GEORGE w. LAKIN.


We head our columns this week with the
names Of the Wing candidates for State of
fcers nominated at the State Convention al
Madison on the 18th inst.
The Wing canddates---nnd the candi-
dates Of that fiction ofthe Locofocos yclep-
ed Tadpoles are now before the people
and We're not comparisons odions, we would
endeayor To show the ability and fitness of
the Que, and the incapacity and unsuitable
ness of the other li,t of candidates.
The Wing Convention selected their can
didates solely with reference 10 their known
integrity, ability, and intimate knowledge
of the people and the affairs of the State
and have presented such a ticket rs will
merit and we hope receive the appreciation
Of the people throughout the State. With
the Wings in the Convention aud in the
State, there is union and harmony, and sue
cess seems almost certain.
With our opponents in the convention
and throughout the State, are dlsunion, strife,
and bitter heurt-burniugs.
The Democratic convention was ruled
by and composed principally of Tadpoles--
friends aud supporters Of the old condemned
fraudulent conStitu,ion-ihe same sort of
men who controlled the convention that
nominated MosEs NJ. SrRoSe for the Del
egncy.
The Tadpoles still narbor revenge against
the conservative, honest democrats, who so
nobly aided To save Us from the disgrace OF
the first const,ution--and have again out
ragged their party by bringing forward eau
didaies of faction instead of the whole
party.
The well tried honest and faithful men
who gave character and strength to the
democratic party in the Territory have been
ruthlessly thrust aside TO give place and
prominence 10 men unknown for good
works. The great obiec, with the Demo-
cratic State Convention seems to have been,
10 kill of such pure patriots as Gen. nopeE,
and to effect this, they thought it necessary
to kill oil all his friends. Aud in this spir-
il they thrust aside her good aud true dem
ocrats and placed in nomination their tick
ct. They sought TO make great mea out of
small ones, aud sumll men OUT of great ones.
The honest and true and able democrats Ut
the ferri,ory--will they support the Tad
pole ticketi In law, fraud yitates eou-
tract aud fraudulent, contracts cannot be GU
forced.
Are Democrats bound TO. or will they
support a ticket thus iraaduleuty nonina-
ted.
Ask yourselves if either candidate Of the
Democrats tickle, had ever been spoken OF
or thought Of, in connection, with the office
20 which he has been nominateds

GEx. DoDeE.-The Tadpoles concerted
plan to place the old Hero on the shelf
They meant to nominate him for Governor,
against his well known wishes, and then,
upon his declining the nomination, as they
knew he would do, they designed to affect
belief that he had sighted the Democra-
cy, by refusing and to make this pretext
for dropping him into political oblivion
This scheme was laid for the promotion Of
a Tadpole to the u. s. Senate, instead of
the old GEN. himself, who is a staunch old
Hunker and has more influence and is more
deserving of a seat in the Senate than any

Some time ago, 4 story was fabricated
and set afoat, that Gen. Taylor was the
owner Of large tract Of land in the dis
puted territory between the Nueces anu
the Rio Grande, and that an agent Of his
had been recently in Washington City,
purchasing negroes to stock II. This
false allegation has been ihdustriously and
widely circulated in Abolition, Locofoco,
and other papers that affect to be SO scru-
pulously conscientious in regard to their
political action. None have repeated it
oftener than the Free Press. From the
fact lat there has been no authorized con-
tradiction to these stories. many honest
minded people have, no doubt. been de-
luded into belief Of their truth. 1t gives
us pleasure, therefore. to learn from the
Cincinnati Gazette Of Thursday morning
last, that Col. Mitchell, of that city, wrote
to Gen. Taylor several weeks since, re-
ferring To the allegation and inquiring as
TO its truth. We annex the reply, which
is Of the "ask -for-no- favors- andshrink-
rom-no-responsibility" order. 1t puts
this vile SANDER at rest, as an unmitigated
falsehood- Read and judge:-Det. Abr.

To the District Of Columbia TO purchase

sun, in my possession, | could put it to a
better use than buying lands on the Rio

the many accusations bro't against me by
my opponents, | should be much gratified
to learn that they had succeeded in substan-
tiaiing the charge that have in my posses
sion SO large sum for any purpose as
the one above mentioned.
beg that you will not put yourself to
any trouble to meet the objections urged
against me by those opposed to me, if they
are as groundlcss as the one in question

contend with them.
