so called, against which there seems
to be no opposition, except from a ma
jority of the Democratic papers, and per-
haps, majority of that party. The
prospect seems TO be triumphant cleo
ton of the whole or respectable part
of it. Our readers are already appraised
that the purpose has been to unite all
the friends of sound State policy, a.
gainst the Barstow and Dennis faction
which SO unfortunately succeeded in the
late Madison Democratic Convention.
Had any other slen. or party of mes.
processing adherence 10 the Democratic
party been nominated, the attempts at u
hitting the opposition would never have
been made-there would be no necessi-
~ for it. But to allow the re-re.urec-
tion Of that old Green Bay, Northern
improvement faction, to harass the peo-
plefor two mortal years, was too much
to bear. The attempt has reused up "a
fire Of indignation and resentment among
all the enemies of State extravaganza,
and united them as band of brothers
against the prince of evil.
We had passed safely through one cIi-
max, by disposing Of the Northern I'm
provement, and ielt secure in the future.
Now there is another attempt 10 exhume
its friends, and clothe them with power
TO fasten it on the State again. AS an
only resort, the enemies to assuming the
payment Of the Improvement scrip Ia
mounting TO $500,o00) and making i:
basis for banking, have united on a tick
ct against which there can be no obiec-
ton, save among ultra party men. There
can be no mistake in the mark: Barstow
and Dennis are known to have control
over the scrip, and 10 possess large
share Of it; they are candidates for Gev-
c?nor and Bank Comptroller. Where
men have the wherew ilhal, give them
the power and they will Use it, as natu-
rally as dogs bark. The cnly way is 10
keen them disarmed.
Without pre<uming TO give any ol INC tic
rumored objections to,he B,rs.ow tick
ct, as there is possibility OF their being
Incorrect, we merely say tpat E. y. Hon.

HrNRY s. BAIRD, of Green Bay was
nominated for Governor by small Con-
vention of Wings. His letter refusing
TO decline meets our. appreciation. 1t
shows grit. and his position under ordi-
nary circumstances would be right. III
is believed however, that his interest in
the Northern Improvement induces him
thus to hold out, in order to favor Bar
slows election. Such is the opinion a.
mong Mr.. Baird's acquaintances, and is
the opinion generally over the State
This only proves that the Wings too. at
their late State Convention. were dnned
by the corrupt gang at Green Bay. The
masses OF them have The honesty to re-
fuse cooperation, and have withdrawn
from the ticket headed BY his name
All the candidates on the regular ticket
have declined except Mr.. Baird.
The New York Tribune, of the 2lst
inst, learns that "the negotiation for
5000 900 of the bonds of the Fox Riy-
er Improvement Co., of Wisconsin,
which has been going on for some
months, has finally been favoraby con-
cuded."
1t also says "the State of Wisconsin
is trustee for these bond, and it is coa-
tended by some parties is responsible
for them, although this is denied by 9TH
ers."
The friends of the northern improve
ment are running Barstow and Dennis
on purpose to fasten their payment upon
the State. We verify believe it.
aTlt is said there is an Understand
ing throughout the State to elect State
Senate which will oppose the fe-elec-
tion of Gen. DopGE TO the u. S. SAna,e
two years hence. We do not know Now
our Grant County candidates stand D.
this matter, but we should be sorry 10
have Gen. DopeE thrust aside for any
modern nag we are acquainted with,
east OF the Mississippi, and west of the
I Atlantic.
