who claims TO be member of the National Dem
ocratic Committees, has been writing letters late
~ to other members Of the Committee suggest
ing sort of private platform of action for said
members touching the next Presidential nomina-
ton. The New York Herald with its accus-
toned enterprise, got hold of some of these let
tiers and gave them TO the public. They are
rich. We make an extract from one addressed
to member in Iowa, It is as follows:
an regard to Tla,.orms-aroid ali ne,2 tests,
especially hat ct LaHI Reform. Partly re-atfirm
the Baltimore platform, teittout attending our
free soil a'Lies-who have pledged themselves
in good faith to us-a5 their vote will be most
formidable, you may depend Hpon it, and we can
afford to make few sacrifices Of the South
where so irascible a disposition IS shown.
If you could but PTcUs1t the passage Of Land
Reform Resolutions IN The STATE Convention Of
Ioloa, and other portions Of the IFest, then Wax
er Of Wisconsin, could be easily kept in The back
ground and H0uslons chances greatly impro-
red
It is said that several reliable individuals in
Wisconsin have been intrusted with these in
structions, and as these individuals were promi-
nent in our late State Convention the suspicion is
fully confirmed by their action there look how
exactly that convention has complied with the
directions Of this letter: all new tests have
been avoided especially that Of Land Reform
and the Baltimore platform has been partly re-
affirmed. Whether, however it has done with
out offending our free soil allies remains to be
seen. The passage Of Land Reform resolutions
were prerzltsd, and doubtless, not the least pur-
pose of it was to keep Mr.. Walker in the back
ground We should have stated that this Mr.
Donaldson is a friendof Sam. Houston, for the
Presidency, and his efforts look in that direction
Whether our Wisconsin wire pullers in follow
ing his directions look to that end is a question
but we suppose it is quite as necessary that
Land Reform should be killed and Walker kept
in the back ground to facilitate Cass or Doug
lass prospects as Houston. But we wish our
readers to observe this fact-hoW exactly the &C
ton of our State Convention corresponds with
the commando Of Mr. G. Ii. = MADISON. In OBJ
serving this they will perceive that this whole
business Is but a matter Of political gambling in
which these wire puers and inriguers are play
ing for the offices and emoluments in the gift
of the President, and they care not one whit for
the interests ofthe people, but would as willing
ly tread upon their neaks to reach the high pla-
ces as to get there otherwise.
THE WAY IT Is DoSE-EVe venture the as
sertion that in this whole County, not IS voters
took part in the primary meeting which sent del
egates to the late State Convention at Madison
and except ina few localities where there were
opposing candidates, we suppose it was not dif-
ferent elsewhere. We believe we arc within
bounds in saying that not one d mocratic voter in
ten, throughout the state took any part whatever
an these proceedings, yet that convention has not
only nominated State Ticket, but has appoint
ed five delegates to represent Wisconsin in the
National Convention. And this State Ticket,
so formed, and the National ticket, so to be form
ed, mnst be supported as the ticket Of the De-
mocracy, and to bolt i will be treason to the par
ty. Are reasonable men to be duped by such
nonsense About 80 leaders or rather we
should say loafers, men too lazy to work. unw-
ling to beg and afraid to steal have been for two
or three months plotting this whole affair-and
have worked it just to suit themselves. Those
who are not yet nominated for Office, are to have
it when the pIot ], C.nr'o etc and their President
is chosen, and tho people, the voters, are to be
gammoned by the cry of Democracy and Demo-
cratic nominations to raGfy the whole affair
We should think such transparent gammon
would sickcn any one, and we have confidence
that the people Of this State will treat the whole
thing as it deserves, with their Indignation and
reprobation.
"Our creed is the Democratic party, right or
wrong; when right to try and keep it SO, and
when wrong to try and set it right WalheSha
Democrat.
Exactly 50; and i You never get it right it
makes no difference, we suppose, you 60 it wrong
eterna!ly. This IDEA Of getting the democratic
party right by helping it practice all sorts Of mi
guilty, is by no means d new one. 1t is as old as
the devil himself, and, we suspect, IS one of the
most approved doctrines OF that distinguished in
dyidual.
l. The Editors Of tie Commercial Adverti-
ser, Milwaukee have made most abominab,e
charges, touching the personal character Of Mr..
BoorH of the Free Democrat for which he has
sued the propretors of that sheet, and had them
pound to answer in the sum of $500 each
No one acquainted with Mr.. Booth, will harbor
the abomnable accusation for moment, and it
is to be hoped that men so lost to the common
decencies of life as 70 utter such foul ISLANDERS,
may be made to feel the full penalty of the law.
The Proprictors Of the Wisconsin Argus, have
also been sued for reitcra,ug the libel.
Another Export.
