NOMINATIONS FOR CoNGREss.-In the west
district, BEN C. EASTMAN, of Grant CO. was no.
minated on the 18th ballot, as the democratic
candidate for Congress. His main competitors
in the convention were, Simeon Mills, of Dane
CO., A. H. Smith, of Rock, and DIR. Ladd, of La
fayette. Hon. Orsamus Cole, the present incum-
bent was nominated by the wings i'll opposition.
In the North District HARRISON C. HOBART
of Sheboygan co. was chosen on the 18th ballot.
as the democratic nominee. His chief COMPETE
tor was Gov. Doty, the present incumbent. Mr..
HOBART was chosen by majority of one vote, and
it is said the convention broke up in confusion,
and that the nominee would not be cordially sup
ported. 1t is thought Gov. Doty will run as an
independent candidate. Very likely.
Ben C. Eastman has been resident of the
territory and state for about IL years. He is a
lawyer OF fair standing, personally popular, and
will beat Mr.. Cole if any body can. We do not
know what his views are with reference to the
peculiar questions now agitating the country.
H. G. HOBART is a resident of the village of
Sheboyagan, is young man, lawyer in good
standing. He was member of the territorial
legislature from that county, was the first Sena-
tor from the first district in the state legislature,
and was session before last a member and spea-
ker OF the House. We had the pleasure of &C.
eupylng seat on the same floor with him, and
shared the opinion of the rest of his colleagues,
that Mr.. Hobart, was very valuable and able
legislator, and was one who had the talent TO
make favorable mark for himself on the grow
ing history of our state. As speaker he was We
ry popular and deservedly so. Mr.. Hobart is
right in feeling on the slavery question, bu. we
are afraid he thinks little more of the democra.
tic party than the democratic principle and hence
may be disposed TO follow wherever the party
leads. He will probably be elected, and we think
will be found as able and prove as true to the in
terests OF his constituents as his predecessor

13We have received from friend very Just
and fiattering notice of our friend BUCKS Music
Saloon, and if he will excuse US for not publish
ing his communication, we shall be happy in say
ing something about it ourself. We dropped in
to his establishment yesterday morning and lis
tened TO the rich tone of his pianos and by the
way, we could hardly help comparing the melli-
fuous music produced by master of the art from
one of Boardman & Gray's pianos with the dolce
campana attachment with the eternal stunning,
ding dong. that used to be extorted from piano
boxes by boarding school misses, when we were
a boy long, long, ago." And we believe the
idea of such noisome music must have haunted
and distressed Byron himself, when he expires sed
his inability to decide between eternal sing song
and eternal fire" And we further believe that
if By ron could have heard one of Boardman g.
Gray's, like that we listened to at Bucks, twould
not have been so bad for him to have decided be-
tween heaven and the pit. since his ideas of the
melody of the music of "that better world -
would have been elevated and himself entranccd
with the delicious flow. Buck has one piano
we believe. which is the only counterpart to the
one which the Messrs Boardman & GRAY manu-
featured for Jenny Lind. Ifyou wish to see it
you must call quick for one OF our lucky CHI.
zens, takes it away this week. In addition to
the musical character of this establishment Buck
has splendid assortment of Jewelry of all kinds
Beautiful ear rings, gold and silver pens and pen
ellis, rings, keys, spoons, &c, embracing every
variety that necessity can demand or luxury can
dispose of. We hope our friends will give him
call and see what he can do for them. For
his enterprise and efforts Ia cater to the taste and
necessities of our community, he merits encou-
ragement and deserves success

FREE LAROR.

We are told by writer in the Democrat that
Benton looks on this cry of IS Free Labor" as
all humbug. Whether he does or not we are
quite confident that the writer in question not
only thinks the "cry" humbug, but that " Free
Labor" ITSELF is also humbug, for if we are not
mistaken in the individual, we know him to be
one of that kind of men, He is moi one TO helm
or have sympathy with condition of things
which shall emancipate labor and make it naces-
sary Tor each man, if he wishes share of the
worlds wealth to bear his share of The worlds
ouEthens Laboring men should see the strife
which now agitates the country, in its true light.
1t Is really question of Free Labor The
south care only for the enslavement of the bacl,
because of the labor he is capable of performing
therefore 1t Is human labor which they chattelize
and enslave. Under those circumstances how
can labor be looked on other than with contempt
and those who are in favor of this ensaving and
chattelzing of labor, must in their Utmost souls
desPlse labor and the laborer. How can If he
otherwise when they are willing to see labo,
chatezed in all the free territories of the conn.
try.
Let the laboring man reflect moment. II
these chattelsers of labor get the ascendancy
fairly in our government, what will be the nature
OF that government? Will it belong to the bone
and sinew, the laboring men of the country? On
the contrary it will belong to those who oyn la.
Dor, who have enslayed and chattelized and made
1t Ting. Will there be any laws then enacted
for the benefit of labor and the laborera Will the
revenues of the government be appropriated and
dlsbarsed for their benefit. 1t will be even worse
than 1t always has been. We have had cause
enough heretofore to complain of the manner in
which our government has been administered
and the revenues disbursed, but if the south once
get fairly mounted, they will whip and spur a
little harder than they ever have before.
1t becomes then matter which concerns d.
recty every laborer, for the spirit which enslaves
labor in the black will be sure to do it in some
way in the white. These men, then, who sheer
at free labor are the Unborn tyrants of the land
and if laborers wish to keep the government from
the hands of their worst enemies, let them be-
ware how they entrust them with power.

Tln his late Land Reform speech, in the city
OF New York. Senator Walker, of Wisconsin,
referred to the continual jeers, ibes, the slang
vote-yourset-a-farm party &c and said that
their time would be short" 1t will be recollect-
ed that our neigh Dor over the way announced it
as one of the peculiar objects of his mission to
oppose and put down this " vote-yourself-a-farm
party" who were pernicious set of fanatics.
Well, as Mr.. Walker said, his time was very
short, in that vein, for he now not only thinks
this vote-yourselt-a-farm principle necessary for
the salvation of the country, but also, that Mr.
Walker is the greatest man who has recently
condescended to wear shoe leather, for only adj
vocating it. Next to st. Paul's, this is the most
extraordinary conversion of which we have read.

gJCol. Benton defeated Cass and CLAWS favo-
rite measure, the omnibus, and left the adherents
of Cass in small minority in Missouri. and now
bids fair to distance all contemporaries in the race
for the Presidency. Under such circumstances
it is not strange that Cass' friends are attempting
to curry favor with Benton and to claim him as
one of their own men. We have no particular
ambition 10 claim Col. Benton, as free soil man.,
for he is not quite so good one as we should
like, nevertheless we think facts Justify us in the
opinion that he has little more sympathy with
the Free Soil party, than with that with which
it is sought to connect him.

az The Milwaukee Commercial Advertiser
thinks our article of last week. under the head
of organization" was designed solely to pro-
duce division in the democratic party. A mistake
neighbor; it was designed to show that there
was already division on principle in the old de-
mocratic party, and it could not prcfitably come
together in convention, and it strikes us, you
would have been more proftably engaged in dis
proving our position, than in building up man
OF straw to demolish him. s'And what is there -
says he, "about the whole matter 1.-THE slavery
question: that should give rise to any division
in the democratic party" We'll, we don't know
what there is to divide it, but we know it is divi-
ded and that, we take it, is the main point in the
case. This editor has one opinion in the premi
ses and we have another, and if that is not a suf-
fcient division, a cause for division, then the
wing party may as well unite with u.s. The
fact is as we stated. Old questions have passed
away and new ones have taken their place. AS
consequence old parties are dissolving and mo-
wing to take their places in the new line, and to
talk about old organizations, is very much like
the fellow who, for want of something else to do
thought he would go and enlist in the last war.
