Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1850-1854, 1853-08-05

To- The bunker Democracy of this county
have called Convention at Peter Woods tavern
on the 27th inst to nominate a candidate for
County Judge, and transact other business. and
upon this call, the Kenosha Democrat, urges the
Democracy of the county to renewed and vigorous
action, after this wise:
GA County Convention has been called by the
Committee to meet at Peter Woods on the 27th.
We hope to see full delegation from every town,
and disposition indicated TO prosecute the fall
campaign in kenosha County with yigor and sue
cess. We have this fall to vote for State officers
Clrctnt and County Judges, Senator and two
Assemblymen. With suitable exertion, we have
the command of the county. 1t is naturally dem
ocratlc, and there is reason why it should not
elect democratic candidates every time With an
administration which veryhonest mans heart APP
proves-our principles again tried and triumph
ant-the opposition in fragments, we ought not
and must not lose the laurels we have won. SO
let us buckle the armour like true soldiers do
ing battle unitcdly for consecrated cause.
All this is very well as sort of dash or a rush
on general principles, ut when we come TO in
quire into the specific benefits of this democratic
ascendcncy, and wherefore the people should put
themselves out of the way TO sustain it, the thing
is not distinct it might, and perhaps ought
to, be. To be sure, we can very we'll understand
from whence comes the enthusiasm on the part of
the editors of the Democrat and can sec an all
sufficient reason for their desire to secure and pre-
serve democratic ascendncy-as for instance ::
by means of a democratic general administration
one of them enjoys snug little berth worth 1000
1900, or such matter per annum; and the other
lives in constant expectation, Mcawber-likc, that
something will at turn up, out of it, for his benc-
fit. We can think, just at present, of no other
specific benefits to this region of country, arising
out of this general democratic ascendency, and
however sufficient this may be to impress these cx-
ccllent gentlemen with the opinion that the admi-
nistration is such as "every honest mans heart
approves" doubtless there are some who would
like further evidence.
And when we come to State matters cause
for the zeal of this organ is equally apparent. BY
means of u democratic asccndency in the late Sc
1 nate, our excellent friend of the D. o. d. enioved
last winter and this summer, delightful little
place, where the work was not oyer-arduous, and
the pay for one hundred and twenty-five days, was
the snug little sum of six hundred and ten dollars
without limit. Now if we only labor to keep up
this aSccndcncy, and arc successful who knows
what may grow ont of it; and we beg the voters
however limited or partial or indistnct, these bcs-
sings may seem to them, to bear in mind that to
these eloquent gentlemen it is all clear as bell
To be sure, this democratic legislature spent some
two hundred thousand dollars and levied Il tax OF
ciN IN oil
mcr state tax, to try to catch up with its extra
yagancc: but what fall this. When our excellent
friend, or some other equally worthy democrat
can achieve out Of this asccndcncy, some six hun
dred for II light winters work, should not "eycrv
honest man approve of it, and buckle on his ar
NOR to do battle for IL consccrated cause" We
reckon!
And then, there are the Judgcs-County and
Circuit. The necessity for democratic asccndency
in respect to the judiciary, is neither partial or OBJ
scure, but apparent and unmistakcable. There is
occasionally fugitive slave to be torn from wife
and children and property, and remanded to the
rice swamps. How necessary then to save this
glorious union, we should have a democrat on the
bench who will pack him off without unnecessary
delay, and without asking any troublesome qucs-
tons. And too, we may have Maine law to en-
force within year two: what then would our
Hunker brethren, who are generally practitioners at
the bar, do without friend on the bench
Then see to it, voters, we bcsccch You, that de-
mocracy fails not, in this crisis. Think of our
friends at the crib of the Nationaland State Admi-
nstratons; think of the fugitive slaves endangcr-
ing the union, by practically enjoying the princi-
pies of the declaration of independence; think of
the Maine law that may be passed and enforced if
the democracy should fail. Think of all this, and
buckle on your armor like true soldiers, doing
battle unitedly for consccratcd cause"
