Candidate for Congress.

We hope the Wing Convention at MIN
eral Point, have selected the right sort of n
candidate for Congress. In our opinion, the
doctrine of availability Is a most pernictouS
one To select a candidate merely for the
reason that he can perhaps get mere votes
than another, is the right way to emaseuiaie
party. We want candidate who will
meet all the issues and fight them icarlessly,
who will canvass the whole district and
fight over every inch of the ground, who
will attack and uumask the sham Democrat
CIV. who will array facts and arguments and
charge home upon the errors and the soph-
istries of Federalism aud show up the one
man power in its original blue color. Such
a candidate will do far more for the final
triumph of Wing principles, If a. Be not
elected. ,i,an any puddlag headed, slip-shod,
milk and water man, who never had an
opinion OF his own, could do, il elected
We do not want 4 mere figure head in
Congress. 4 man Of merely negative good
qualities. : very much like chips IN the por-
ridge-he can do little good ar harm. We

breach, and do ba,,le. Les political wounds

MAY seem to gain Wing victory by elect

victory as Wings gained in the election

Mr.. webster's Speech at Marshfeld.


We cannot better occupy our columns
than TO publish the advice of MIR. Webster
10 his Wing friends in Massachusetts. Eve
rv line of il is characterized with practical
wisdom aud sober good sense. We regret
that we have not room for the whole speech.
In reference to the Philadelphia Convention,
Mr.. w. says:
81 know the leading men in the Conven-
ton. | thins | understand the motives That
govern them. Their reasoning Is this
'' Gen. Taylor is Whig-not eminent m
civil lite-not known in civil lite-hut still
man of sound Wing principles. Circum-
stances have given him reputation and
eclat i'm the country. If he Is the W hIs can
didate he viii be chosen; and with him there
will come into the TWO Houses of Congress
an augmentation of Wing strength. The
Whig majority in the House Of Represen-
tatives will be increased. The Loco-toco
majority in the Senate will be diminished. F"
That was the view and that was the motive
however wise or however unwise-that
governed a very large majority of those
who composed the Convention at Philadel-
phia. Now. gentlemen, in my opinion this
was a Who'll lwise policy; 1t was short
sighted and temporizing on questions Of great
principles But acquit them of any such
motives which have been ascri5ed to them.
and especially what has been ascrIbed to
them in a PART of this Buffalo Platform.
Such, gentlemen, are the circumstances
connected with the nomination of Gen. 4 aF-
Tor. I only repeat, that those who had tne
most agency originally in bringing ann De-
tore the people were Wing conventions and
meetings in several SiateS-Frce States

Hurrah for Taylor!
HURRICANE, Sept

HURRICANE, Sept. 9th, lS4S.
In responding to the nomination made by
the Wing Convention at Philadelphia, we
the Wings of Hurricane Grove, think prop
er to pledge ourselves to the support of that
nomination, by forming ourselves into a
Rough and Ready Club, and for that pur-
pose met at the Hurricane School House,
Sept. the 10Th, lS4S, and organized by cali
ing Thos. Stanley to the Chair, and Geo.
w. Wright Secretary pro. TEN.
Motion and seconded, that 5. b. Keen,
w. A. Burton, and E. cambridge, draft a
Constitution for the purpose, and present it
at our next meeting.
Then proceeded to elect Z. Bainbridge
President, and Geo. w. Wright Vice Pres
i,lent, and VIM. Waddle Secretary, then
ordered that the President appoint Com
mittee of vigilance, consisting of five per-
sons. Further ordered that the proceed
Sings of this meeting be printed in the Wis
consin Herald.
When the meeting was handsomely adj
dressed by Thos. Shanly and E. S. Owen,
who touched off the characters of the diff
ferent persons having pretensious for the
