Mr. EDITOR:
a correspondent of the Democrat, Of the date
of July l2th speaks of the political prospects in
Walworth County--as am resident of this
county, take the liberty OF suggesting what |
know about the matter. The correspondent Of
the democrat speaks of hdri ing occasion to visi,
Elkhorn, don't think, (however much occasion
he has had) that he has been there during the
past three months. If am not mistaken in tho
writer of that article, he has much more occa-
sion TO visit Waupun than he has Elkhorn.
The fact is, the meeting was composed entire
ly of democrats who will not go for Pierce g.
King and of wings who will not go for Scott
and the southern platform. There might have
been dozen looking on, who will finally vote for
the slavery candidate, but that is all.
During long residence in Walworth County,
| never saw so early in the campaign, such u
spirit of resistance to the intoerabe insolence of
party, as is now manifested by the people of both
parties against TIE platforms in defence of slav-
ery which are attempted to be crowded down
the Threats of the people by the two great parties
predestined TO damnation.
Walworth county will give greater vote for
freedom, in November, than she ever gave the
lies of Father Utter and the correspondent of
the democrat, to the contrary, notwithstanding.

G5'The editor of tie Democrat, implicitly, ad-
mits the position OF Rantou on the fugitive slave
law to be correct, but thinks it makes little Diff
ference whether that clause of the constitution
be enforced by National or State Law. We can,
without trying, think of one difference, at least.
If it were left 10 the states, it would give us a
chance to treat that clause of the compact as the
southern states treat the one relating to the rights
of citizens. They laugh that to scorn and tram
pie it under foot, and human nature up this way
would like to pay them in their own coin. tits
rather hard and somewhat CALLING, that while the
south hos full privilege to make null and void a
most righteous provision of the constitution, we
are compelled. by the whole force Of the general
government to lend ourselves to the strict en-
forcement of most unrighteous one.

Mr. EDITOR VIII you accommodate me
with short account of little brush between
the Golden Gate and the Pacific?
The Pacific, on Tuesday last, in attempting
TO blow The dirty water out OF her boilers, was
detained an hour GU; in the Lake. This gave
the Golden Gate an opportunity to pass her and
get seven miles ahead of her on her passage to
Milwaukee from this City. The Gate having so
good start, run up her flags and supposed she
had beat the Pacific.
The passengers on the Gate were little TAX
en- aback when they saw the Pacific go to the
Pier at Milwaukee about half the length of the
boat ahead of her. The Pacific made the dis
lance from Racine to Milwaukee in one hour and
thirty-two minutes. Making over Is miles the
hour. Yours, T. S.

The great weight of this state in the electoral
college, makes its vote matter of vital m2or-
lance. 1t is not impossible that Presidential
candidate might be successful with this state
agains, him, but we believe such thing has not
yet happened in our history. Of course the par
.izans Of both sides profess to be sure of carrying
the state, so from that source we can look for no
light. We can, however, take the facts aud
come to intelligent conclusions, for ourselves.
In l846 the vote was as follows:
Taylor 2l5583; Van Buren, l2O,497; Cass, Il4,3l9
For ourself, looking at this vote withou, the
least bias OF partisanshi p, we cannot see how it
is possible for Pierce TO carry the state Take
10000 of Van Buren's vote, (Which we call a
rery liberal alowance) and give to Pierce, and
give not one to Scott, and yet Pierce is beaten
by over $4,000 votes. To give Pierce enough
to carry the state we have got to reduce the free
soil vote below the old abolition vote, and give
every one to Pierce instead of which, it seems
to the free soil vote cannot be less than $4,000
votes, and of the 10000 conceded as returning
from free soil to the old parties, Scott must have
at least one fourth. How then is Pierce TO get
the state?
We are aware that new, or modified, infuen-
cea, not belonging to the campaign of '48, are at
work, but they affect both sides about alike. The
GOODNESS of the Silver Greys on one hand is full
y Offset by that of the Barnburners on the other,
and we have yet to hear of a wing paper in New
York that yields to Scott so frigid a support as
the Post yields to Pierce. Certainly no one who
voted for Taylor in AS will vote for Pierce now.
AS between Scott and Pierce, we don't care
copper which whips, but were We ever so much
prcdisposed, we could not find the fantest ground
for a conjecture that Pierce will carry the state
of New York.

The way candidates are made,

Ataward caucus of the Pierce g. King dcmoc-

up Supreme Court Judges, at Madison, SIX
persons were in attendance; of the number, one
being free soier and one whig. Solemnly
were the motions gone through with, and three
of the four relables, were appointed to attend an
assembly district convention. When this farce
is played through and the candidates made, it is
expected every good democrat will sustain the
ticket.
This is fair sample of the manner in which
most candidates are got, and for any man or set
of men to support them for no other reasons than
because they are nominated is the most AFFECT
slavery in the world.
