away their votes! why no; sote for the Loco Foco

Van Buen, If the prospect of his success was ire
trievaGly hopeless Bat these presses condescend
10 give Us no reason why Mr. Van Buren, cannot be
elected He cannot, because he cannot, is the ex-
tent of their logic. When Mr.. Folks nomination
was inst announced, they were more certain he
could not be elected, than they now are that Van

Wilton of the first judicial district is forty years OF

party lines were not observed IN his election.
Judge Hubbe of the second district, is about
forty five years of age; he came to Wisconsin some
six years ago and located in Milwaukee. He is 4
native of New York. and we believe resided at
Ithaca previous 10 his coming west. He was dis
ingushed as politician to some considerable eX-

! CANT advocate; be holds to the democratic party
but in the late judicial election, came oat an in
dependent candidate. and succeeded in heing elect
ed over the regular democratic nominee.
Judge Larrabee of the third district is not far

Judge on the bench in the state He is a native
of Oneida county, New York, but has resided {

"The hostile attitude Of Col. Fremont

so, because each was in false position
seeming to be what they were not. When
Fremont passed through St. Louis, on his

and precarious state Of General Kear.

rnunicated to him among the last things
Of earth which had power to interest him.

"MORE LIGHT"

We perceive by the last Teleg raph
that the wing "1eaders" of this city, have
had a meeting, and resolved that in view
of the signal victory achieved by them in
the election Of General Taylor to the

tina, their city should be Illuminated, and
that "as many Of them as there be- should
march up and down the streets on Satur-
day night next, each one bearing in his
hand torch.
Well, this is in perfect keeping with
the fly -in-lhe- mail coach sort Of a farce
they have kept up here for severalmon,hs
past, and makes one involuntariy OK
claim, shoe zoe apples svim!!"'
1t reminds us Of remark once made
by the "Clown' at a Circus. On wit,
Messing the astonishing feats performed
by one Of the riders, he, with much com.
placepcy, remarked, 'that is very well
done, for one like me.''

Mr.. Herbert, one Of the m ost spirited
