Our Congressional Nominee.
From the Madison Ernr...

From the Madison Express.
Seldom has the Nomination of a Con-
gressional candidate in any State been
hailed with more universal satisfaction
by the party, both in and out Of his dis
trict, than has that of Hon. Orsamus
Cole, of this district. In our, southern
trip, from which we have Just returned
we found that the interest felt in Mr.
C's. reelection is not confined TO his
own district, nor to his own State. His
course in the long and exciting session
now about closing, has commanded The
respect Of the Wing party every where.
He has been remarkably attentive TO his
post-having his, name recorded at every
call of ayes and noes,-and it has never
failed to be found upon the right side.-
He is peculiarly fitted for the time
Gentlemanly and winning in his manners,
firm and undertaking in his principles
industrious and attentive to every duty.
and possessing an ability sufficient to
defend and maintain his positions in any
place and against any person-he desery-
eddy ranks very high among the represen-
tatives of the nation from all sections Of
the country. His nomination by accla-
nation against his wishes, and almost
against his positive declination-shows
the estimation in which his services are
held here-and the support he viii re-
|ceive, unless we greatly mistake the
signs of the times, will be a terror to
Locofocoism. The Wing party is bound
to work for him-every man should feel
and act, as though heavy responsibility
in the matter rested upon him. Mr..
Cole, we regret to learn will not be able
to canvass the district; and consequent
ly the matter is left with his friends,
who, we feel assured, will leave nothing
undone that can be- honorably done, to
secure his continuance in the position
which he now SO admirably and so salts
factory fills. M
The Milwaukee Sentinel, after copy
our article of last week, announcing Mr..
Coles acceptance Of the nomination,
speaks as follows: gr
awe agree with the Express in re-
joicing that Mr.. Cole has been prevailed
upon to allow his name to be used for
another term, and doubt not that the
people will show that they were in ear
nest in the nomination, by giving him
hearty support and triumphant election.
But our friends in the district must not
sleep; they must be unwearied in
theirefforts till the night of the cleo
ton day. Mr.. Cole deserves all
their energies, and, from all that we can
learn, his constituents are determined to
retain his services. 1t is to be regretted
that he is unable TO return and canvass
the district, but in default of his pres
ence among them, let every. voter work
for him till the ides of November"
A correspondent of the GAINESVILLE
Gazette, writing from Monroe, Green
county, gives the following encourage
ing news of the feeling among the peo-
pie in that quarter of the district.
Our candidate for Congress is ac-
ceptable. Cole is popular here and has
rendered himself SO by his straight for
ward, consistent course in Congress. 1t
is generally understood, and correctly
too, that the nomination is now, as it
was before, unsought by him, and that
he is purely the choice of others, and
not foisted upon the party BY his own
maneuvering, as is too often the case
with candidates in this State" He adds
that those who in the former elections
were disposed to vote the exclusive free
soil ticket, now that they know what
are the principles OF our candidate by
the best of all tests, his actions in Con-
gress, are determined to assist in his
reelection and thus endeavor to pre-
vent being represented by doughface
bunker.
Let our wing friends-and our free
soil friends who wish to see their prin-
ciples manfully and fairly sustained IN
Congress by their Representatives, labor
zealously for Mr.. Coles election, and
all is safe.
