CONGRESSIONAL ELECrIoN--rhe Pros

Looking at the matter carefully, calmly, and
candidly, we perceive not the least reason for
doubling or distressing Mr.. Durkees triumphant
success. -Four years ago the Hunker and Wing
parties had in the field their very best men
Lynde and Finch were both able speakers, both
canvassed the district thoroughly, and both poll
ed full party vote, yet Durkee was elected by
handsome majority. Now, these parties have
their weakest men in the field; neither of them
can say word, and one, we are told, is as deaf
post; they will not, because they cannot, can
vass the district or appear before the people; they
enlist no special confidence and excite no enthu.
siasm. Add to this, that Mr.. Durkee has really
been growing stronger with the people every day
and hour since he was first elected, and we can
not see how his enemies expect to defeat him.
We are aware that our Hunker brethren make
extensive calculations and draw much consola.
tor from the circumstance of the whirs havino
a candidate. We say, honestly, if they are sat
lsted with the state of affairs, we are. We have
no idea that single wing who ever wanted tc
vote tor Durkee, will be diverted from his pur.
pose by this nomination. Why should he. when
he knows that his party stands no better chance
OF success in the person Of Mr.. Durand than if
no nomination had been made. Mr.. Durand will
get very few votes that Mr.. Durkee could have
got under any circumstances. We calculate
that our bunker brethren who have assisted 10
make this nomination, and are disposed to rejoice
over it, will wake up some fine morning, and
find themselves in the condition of that unfortu-
nate individual who

I n The editor of the Democrat either mistakes
or purposcly misstates our position, in the aIu-
sion we made to the " immortal nine," who sent
/ him to Waterford, and other similar illusions we
have from time to time made, on the occasion OF
the assembling of little squad of hunkers to
make candidates Cor the people. We wish him
and all others distinctly to understand, that we
conceive these things of no importance only as
we are called upon to support the candidate made
for no other reason under heaven, than because
he was made candidate. If Brother Paul will
| give US good men when he goes TO Waterford,
we will agree not TO ask whether nine or Gine
hundred persons sent him. But when people
are called on to support such men as Frank
Pierce, and Daniel Wells, Jr, and those who
compose the present county ticket, On whose ia
vor rot one word can be said by any stretch Of
honest imagnaton) for no odcr reason than be-
cause they are candidates, it becomes legitimate
to inquire what power has made them candidates
and demands of US unqualified submission. Good
faith to the people, under such circumstances re-
quircs that we expose the wire pulling that makes
these puppets to dance before the public eye.
! Nor do we ask to be ourself exempt from the
rule we lay down. When we assist to make
candidates and get them before the public, we
want the public to consider them on their intrin-
sic fitness for the place to which they aspire
and when we demand that they shall be supper
ted and can give no better reason for it, than that
they are nominated and we helped do it, we hope
the authority upon which VIC put forth such as
sumptons, will be carefully scrutinzcd, so that
it may be seen whether the people did it, or whe
Their it was mere trick Of few wire puers.
We do not suppose the bunker party is to be
frightened by the names Of Paul and Sharpstcn,
any more than the free soil party is, by the names
of Clement and Shoies; but we do suppose that
when any of these individuals bepraise candi-
date, and furnish no better reason for it than that
the party has nominated him, the public will be
very apt to inquire who and what numbers make
up that party.

We copy the following from the Oshkosh
Democrat, Pierce & King paper, published up
North
CHARLES DURKEE has been recommended by
two or three County Conventions of the Free
Democracy of his Distric: as candidate for re-
election to Congress, and the Free Democratic
papers put up his name accordingly. In fact, he
is the candidate, by reclamation, Of the Party
there, and will be run without the formality Of a
nomination by District Convention. This is
an honorable testimony to the worth and integri-
ty of the man. And how much superior is this
position, than to obtain nomination by dint of
of intrigue, packing and log-rolling, and then 90
before the people with no higher claim upon their
sufrages than havinga regular nomination
from the "Party" Charles Durkec has hon0red
Wisconsin in the National Councils, and we hope
he may do so another two years.
We commend the above to the editor OF the
Democrat, who talks about DURKEE being the
candidate of Booth, Clement, &c.

Chaunccy Abbot has been nominated by the

Abbott is very clever fellow, both in talent and

vote The democrats have not yet nominated.
In the Sd District, the Free Sellers have nom
mated Rev. Hiram Mckee, of Marquette CO.
Mr. Mckee is 4 strong man on the stump which
he has mounted, and will no doubt increase the
free soil vote in that district.
The democrats have nominated John B. Ma
cy, OF Fond du Lac. We have no disposition
to dsparage Macy, because We don't like his pol
tiles, but it will not be denied, probably by any
one, that his universal reputation is that of q
pompous nothing. Those who know him, have
always given the world to undo rstand, that if the
"gas" were let off, there would be nothing left
of him.
The Wings have nominated ]. Mem. Shafter,
Of Shcboygan. Shafter is a liberal whig-a
good spcaker-and calculated to be popular
we are inclined to think he will give his pom
pous competitor hard run, and his friends, we
perceive, are sanguine of elccting him.
