We wish TO excite no prejudice against this pro
ession, but we wish tie ask in the name of justice
if there is no other class Of persons or professions
in this state, to be represented IN National
Councils, but Lawyers They are probably, COM
pared with other callings as one to a thousand and
yet we find the extraordinary fact that every nom!-
nation of the two old parties, are Lawyers
Such is not the in the Free Soil nominations
This is a party that has sprung from and belongs
to the people, and the people have ma lie their no.
limitations from themselves. Mr.. Crabb is prac
teal printer Judd, a practical farmer and Dur
kee, though belonging to no particular procession
or calling, has made all he owns by honest industry
and whilst by his labor he has contributed much %
the prosperity of his town and built up handsome
property for himself, he deals it out with no I'M
sparing hand in all beneficial enterprises. All three
OF the Free Soil candidates thoroughly idenIlil-
, ed with the masses of the people.
The evil OF having National Legislature
overrun by this particular pro ession has long been
apparent. Long speeches, hair splitting discussions
and neglect OF practical business, has heretofore
been the effect OF this state of things, and yet it is
proposed by both parties TO send three lawyers to
represent the State OF Wisconsin al Washington
We don't know what the other districts may thiak
of it, but if the people here had not long ago made
up their minds to send consistent Free Soil man.
this fact would have its due we ght with them.
The Wisconsin, hat pink Of democracy, HOSTS
the of James ID. Doty, at its head, as the re-
r e,lar democratic nominee for Congress, in the Bird
district. There is not man in the stale who has
less political principle than James b. Doty, Every
man woman and child, who has lived here as long
as SIX years, knows ban to be thoroughly unprnci
pied and his name has long siuce become by-word
and reproach, among all political parties lie has
opposed the democracy infinitely more than he ev
er supported it; he as goyernorot Wisconsin un-
der Hauison followed Tyler through his nflca-
, cics and now comes up the Democratic Cass can
didate for Congress. The Cass men go III eXciu-
sivelv for reguIality-e,ery thing that's regular Is
right with thcm and if BeIzebub should be SO for
, tunate as to come endorsed regular, the Wiscon-
sin and all other Cass papers in the State would
, pronounce him orthodox and worthy of support.
!, H. Isaac p. Walker publishes long letter adj
dressed to Warren Chase. the gst OF winch is, that
he goes for Cass, as We all ought to, to keep out
that horrid SHAREHOLDER Taylor, who will let the
south have it all their way. And on the 9TH
er hand we have the Taylor drivers, trying to bring
. lreemen under the lash, by the argument, you must
go fo7 Taylor to keep that horrid servIe Cass
who is pledged TO TIE south. Which tells the truth
with regard to southern scyviliy? or rather do they
not both tell the truth We have doubt they
do and men no dare strike blow for freedom
will put their heel upon the neck OF the slayeholder
a and seryilc both.
Us Mr.. Duikce, the free soil nominee has thrown
, down the gauntlet to Lyndc and Finch the nomi-
nees of the slavery extension parties, to meet him
in public discussion.
Gj-The editor OF the Wisconsin is seeking by all
sorts o. meameSs njure the Free soil candidate
for Congress in this district; and Yeti can be pro-
ven that before his nomination he uttered the follow
ing with regard to this candidate:
That he was the best man in The distrct-that
he ought TO be nominated, and that HE COULD
BE ELECTED"
This is what the ed tor of the Wisconsin said
before MIR. Dmkces nomination. He is good
man and he will be elected.
a. We have good authority for saying that
large share OF the individuals composing the late
Cass county convention, for the nomination OF
county ticket, will support Van Buren.
Office holders appear to be in demand. The
Post Master at Racine had no sooner got through
presiding over the Muckwonago Convention, than
his services We're required to preside over the Cass
convention of ths county.
lI-If we have any subscrlbers who are disposed
TO complain at the almost entire monopoly oil our
columns by political matter, we would ask them to
be pat.eit. Three weeks will close the contest
when we shall return to our usual variety.
AsAHE1 FIScH, Of milwaukee, is the Taylor no.
minee or Congress in this district. We know but
little about han, except that he some
what prominent aboiitionst, and his name may be
found to a paper pledging himself TO vote during
his natural life against slavery and sldl ehoders.
lie is a renegade from that party which we trust
the Southport American IN its zeal against Mr..
Durkce, will take due notice of Michael Holmes,
of this place was bis principal opponent, which
leads us TO infer that the Taylor men were rather
