We would suggest TO the editor of the Was |
consin, the proPrety of employing correspond
ents who have enough of common sense to know
that they cannot misrepresent a matter that
transpired in public without detection. Lest the
readers of the Wisconsin should think there
might be some truth in the statement, If it were
not conradcted, we here assert that our position
on that question was not stated at oil. We never
said that Mr. Walker had taken up the land
| reform question, and supported them as a hobby
TO ride free Of the curse entaed upon him by
| the Wisconsin Legislature" Nor did we say
that any one mans name should be substituted
for another. We went distinctly for striking
ont particular names, and inserting all the
known land reformers or else to insert no
names at all. We stated then, and we insist
now, that it was not the business, nor any part
of the business OF the Industrial Cangress, to
pass resolutions clarifying any man, much less
to recommend |. +. Walker to the confidence
and support Of the people of the United States"
Westned that it was making invidious distinc-
tons among men, and would be likely to give
offence to Land Raformers and working men
who belong to the Wig and other parties And
further, we inquired how it would look for the
Congress TO pass resolutions praising |. p
Walker Tor his course, and at the same time
s.pfsk Z tas Wisconsin Legislature of '48 & for
their course while he was still under the ban of
that Legislature.
But why did not this correspondent mention
1.-The names Of the other individuals who opposed
these resolutions! Mr. Chase, Mr. Ingalls, and
Mr. Iline are entitled to some credit Really
Wo don't wish TO steal their thunder and shine
in borrowed feathers. 1t would disgrace the
Congress to say that there was but one who OPP
posed them, and we should be too proud to think
We had triumphcd alone. As it is, we are will
ling to divide the glory and rejoice that the res
olution passed with our amendment.
The following, from one of the Secretaries Of
the Congress, we copy from the Free Democrat
1t has the merit Of truth and authority, and we
insert with pleasure:
Saturday SesSion.-After tho transaction of
unimportant morning business, the Congress be-
came the scene of a spirited debate on resolu-
tons bcstoWing thanks on certain individuals
for their efforts in behalf of Land Reform
The resolutions were got up in your city, and
for other purposes imagine, than promoting
the Land Reform cause Senator Walker was
gIoritied without stint, and recommended to the
confidence and support oF the people of the Uni
ted States. The whole thing was evidently or
iginated by Wisconsin politicians, for the purpcs Sc
Of getting Senator Walker endorsed by the Con-
gross, and thus helping to reinstate him in the
confidence of the people. The resolution was
advocated by Mr.. Van Amringe, and Messrs
Boynton and Plato, the Milwaukee delegates :;
and opposed by Messrs. Ingalls,, Hine, Chase
and Clement. 1t finally passed, aftcr being a.
mendcd and Invested Of its most objectonal fea-
lures.
We respectfully request the Wisconsin to do
us the justice to copy the above statement in
full. C..
