The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1851-11-13
From the Washington Union.
WISCONSIN.


The following communication, which we re-
ceived last evening just before going to press
shows the nature and significance of the Wing
victory in Wisconsin 1t will be seen that it is
the result of coalition between Wings and
Free-Soilers
al see that the Geographic reports announce
the fact that l.. J. Farwell Wing is elected
Governor of Wisconsin; and as in oil proba-
biity it will he claimed Wing victory, it
is of some Importance that the public should
understand precisely the character Of this
Wing victory. To set this matter right before
your readers enclose to you the following
letter of Mr. Farwell, written in answer to one
of inquiry from Charles Durkee, the abolition
member of Congress from the Milwaukee dis
trict. 1t speaks for itself:
"MILwAUKIE Cry, Oct. 8, 1851.
"DEAR SIR: Yours of the 4th instant is re-
ceiyed. In answer TO your inquiries in regard
to my views on the subject of slavery, reply
frankly that am utterly opposed to the extern
sion Of slavery and to the increase of slave
States am also in favor of the abolition of
slavery wherever it exists under the exclusive
jurisdiction of Congress, and of the repeal of
the fugitive slave law
Respectfully, yours l.. J. FARwELL.
Hon Charles Durkee.
"This letter, have not a doubt, effectualy
secured the union of the Wing and Free Soil
vote of the State, and the result il, as an
nounced by telegraph, a Wing victory. L."
In connection with the above letter--which
shows the ground upon which the Wings went
into the election-we subjoin the following res
oIution adopted by the Democracy in their
State Convention, held ON the 10th of last Sep
tember
"ResOlred, That the Democrats of Wisconsin
now stand where oil true Democrats have stood
since lS36--on the platform of principles then
drawn by that pure and lamented statesman,
Slas Wright and approved by every National
Democratic Convention since that day. And
occupying, as our party does, this elevated po-
sitiOn, we, in their name, repudiate all extrane-
Gus issues and sectional tests Of party faith, as
pernicous, clannish, and disorganizing in their
tendency
BEAUTIFUL Marietta (Ga.) Aduoodte,
speaking of the removal Of the postmaster at
Euflla, Alabama, says, Mr. Fillmore removed
a most efficient and popular officer, solely be-
cause he would not be the instrument in circu-
latng Abolition documents through the post
Office. The wonder is that any man could be
found in that community to accept the appoint
ment and lend himself to such purpose"
pretty fellow to talk about the Era in this
style, when score of his brother editors in
Georgia and Alabama are receiving it regular
ly in exchange every week, and it is only be-
cause he is not no well read as the rest that he
is not himself in the receipt of it.
IL Please signify 10 Mrs Stowe that il will
be quite agreeable to the wishes Of very many
of the readers Of the Era for her not 10 hurry
through Uncle Tom" We don't get sleepy
reading it. Having resided many years among
slaves, and being familiar with their habits,
thong hts, feelings, and language, | have not
been able to detect single mistake in her sto-
ry in any of these respects--'ts perfect in its
way-will do great good Yours, J. ID. l..
When Mrs Stowe commenced her ad,nira-
bic story, we did not suppose, nor did she, that
It would run through NO many numbers as it
has already done. She will take good care not
to hurry through it" but will complete what
has been 30 well begun.
