II If anybody still doubts whether the old
bunker convention at Madison intended to throw
their former profession to the winds, let them
read the following from the Sheboygan Lake
Journal:
We give our party JOY OF its radiance OF the
mongre State Platform which was adopted two
years ago, and of its reinstatement upon oio
fashioned orthodox Democratic ground
Let it be noticed also that Mr. Hobart one OF
the Editors of the Journal and doubtless the one
who wrote tits item, was member OF the iegis-
la,ive caucus which adopted this odious platforms
and has all along stood upon it as democratic
ground. Yet now, with the rest of the hypo-
critical crew he is rejoicing that the party has
gone backwards pilgrimage to the grave OF
Silas Wright and have secuted Land Reform,

water.oyn Convention.

We publish this week the proceedings of the
Convention held OF WATERFOWL on the l7th inst.
1t was designated by itself, and is now called by
those who sustained It's nomination, as a Demo-
cratic Convention and if DEMocR ATIC prnci-
pies should give name to a Convention which
avows them, we think it deserves the name
Far, to the principles avewed, we most heartily
subscribe. And those who susans the action OF
this Convention, have the satisfaction OF know
ing that the old Democratic party of the State
has sustained the same identical principles for
the last two years, winch has been explicitly APP
proved by each of the present State officers, and
heartily endorsed by almost the entire Democra,-
c press of the State. The old party will yet be
sorry for the dastardjy and ignoble manner in
which it repndiated these principles, and cram-
Il SHED tack to the platform OF seventeen years
agone and behed all lis professions and broke all
