Wisconsin tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1847-1854, 1849-10-12

u Brown, of the Madison Democrat, exult-
ingly publishes the gubernatorial correspondence
between his Excellency Gov. Dewey, and our very
honest and phianthropic friend Booth, of the Free
Democrat, in which the latter, with most becom-
ing assurance offraternal reciprocity OF sentiment
announces 10 the former, that the . Union Demo
cratic Convention held at Madison. adopted
series of Resolutions and believing him to be in
favor of the principles embodied IN them unanl-
mously nominated him as their candidate for gov
ernor; to which the worthy Governor IS pleased
TO respond that he is very grateful for the UNso-
LIGHTED partiality manifested in his favor, but
its acceptance is respectfully declined; that as he
was nominated by the Democratic State Convention,
as the candidate of the Democratic parry, to the
principles Of which he is teafniy attached, he
would be doing injustice TO his own feelings, as
we'll as to his former political arsociates, TO become
the candidate of any ether political organl~at'oH-
And not being willing to be elected under false
coIors'' &C.. We incline to the opinion that the
sharp sighted Freesoi editor won't gaze long upon
this brotherly recognition LD before he will come
to the sensible conclusion that he and his forml-
dable faction would be acting most silly part in
the coming election, to encourage these striking
t.,ionish notions of the Hunker candidate.
Brown thinks, that although the Governors
course may lose him votes. il is the strongest ap-
peal he could make TO the 5ymPathies OF all true
democrats 1t may be satisfactory enough 10 all
those whom may choose TO recognize as true
democrats; but we very much doubt whether the
course pursued by the Governor. or the course

strongly to the sympathes OF the Free SOL Demo

to try how we'll they could pull in the same haF-

comparing of hands the regulars made up their
minds 10 go ahead without the Free Sellers that
though they could easily enough sacTIhce their
principles when it came TO making resolutions, or
any thing of that sort, they could not sacrifice the
loaves or fishes, or any portion OF either, 10 new
allies, and the profered union was, without GER
emory, rejected. The HunEers went into Conven-
non, and counting upon the Cass majority, with a
probable increase, thought they could safely IN
dulge in the grand farce Of passing resolutions on
the question of slavery extension power OF congress
over it, &c, which they have heretofore lost no oc

beautiful charitable and patriotic epithets too nu-
merous TO mention. Some of the western delegates
explained it. however when they got home, by
saying that they were only passed to take the

riah can talk about the " hig State ticket-the
chances for its election being as probable that

in Wi1consn understood the intrigue and double
dealing which secured Dewey, Fairchid, Beall <

hope to safely ride tempest in the middle of the
Pacific, on the Baltimore platform, with sheet of
fools-cap containing the Madison resolutions for
sail, as TO hope that it would ever sail through.
