he is no bigot The bigot is ever grinding
at the public cidermill, and whether you
throw stones or fruit into the hopper, 1t
is all the same,--he grinds away. The
substantial man, who is guided by reason,
morality and unchanging right, is seldom
in market with his wares, 1t is the super
fetal creature who deals in political mer-
chandise. You always have to hunt fo1
the one,-the other is always at your heels
Mr.. WAsHBuRN never called on the people
with his wares and bills for ACCEPTANCE
they called on him first, made him then
candidate, urging him to canvass the dis
trict. In obedience to that call he appea-
red at Lancaster on Wednesday last, and
after his own plain manner addressed ma
nv of the citizens of Grant County attend
ing Court.
He is not an orator but talks very well
aiming at what is true and practical rath-
er than to please by high pretending pro-
misses and batteries. Never having stu
died that part of politicians mentioned by
the Apostle Paul, of seeming all things to
all men, he don't deal in that way, and
would fail of success if he did. He don't
rebuke his opponents by summing up theil
|
errors, except when necessary to present
his own views, and then in a manner Of SC
much moderation as to give no offence
In his comparison of the Democratic plat
forms of l849 and 1854, he might have
shewn the demagogueism Of the one anC
shallowness Of the other, but he alluded tc
them only to show his own consistent pc
Strengthening his audience to draw con

of the day, we believe he deserves and vii

Democratic FinaIity.

The Grant County Democracy, we meal
the leaders who load the guns for the ba
lance to fire, profess to be Anti-Nebrask;
within short time, but adhere rigidly t.
the Non-Intervention fallacy. They op
pose the repeal of the Missouri Compro
mise because it opens agitation and there
by distracts the Democracy. They claim
however that Nebraska e. Kansas are sure te
come in free States because of the agitation
Their only hope now, is to carry Non-In-
tervention or Squatter Sovereignty as q
sort of national principle and thereby Sc
cure all the Slave States they can from the
Territories to apply hereafter for admission
as States. With the aid of Territorial Co.
Yernors selected from the Slave States,
such Governors having the veto power O.
yer Territorial Legislation, and all Terrific
ries being already open for slave occupan-
cy, they hope to introduce sstggers into
most of the States applying for admission,
and thereby keep out white laborers, be-
cause white labor and Niger labor are 50
antagonistic that wherever the one goes
the other won't go.
We long since saw that this Nebraska
issue would dwindle down to the single
question Of Non Intervention, or the right
of sluattcrs in Territory to introduce mig
ger labor to keep out white labor,-Con-
gress to not interfere to prevent it. They
don't advocate Squatterozogy for any pur-
pose else than for introducing Slavery
They propose to arrest polygamy in Utah
by Intervention of Congress, yet never a
word about allowing Territorial people to
choose their own officers and make their
own laws without the assent of Congress.
Non-lntervention to get Slavery in,-In-
tervention to keep liberty out, is the De-
mocratic policy,-which means to abolish
liberty by establishing the slave power
wherever it can be done! What a glori-
Gus black Republic they are trying to erect
to sway over the American Continent!

Our Candidates.

The Mass Convention met at Lancaster
on Wednesday last organized and went tc
work spiritedly, though not with strife OF
i'll feeling. Candidates and their friends
used no improper means, resorted to none
of the usual caucus tricks nor did they man
ifest any of their former party feelings in
the selection of candidates that we heard
Of while all appeared willing to abide by
the choice of the majority, as manifested
by the unanimous vote confirming all the
nominations. That they will all be elect
ed we have yet seen no cause to Doubt
The Convention was very large and the
time occupied in ballotting consumed most
of the afternoon. We notice the nomi-
nees, some Of whom may not be well
known among the voters, but take them
throughout, fairer set of candidates we
have never knew selected by any Conyen-
ton in the County:
LORENZO PREsToN is highly esteemed
at Hazel Green where he has long resided
and where he has always enjoyed the con-
fdence, trust and respect of the people of
that section of the County. Men who
stand well at home may be trusted any
where else. We do not remember the
time when the lower part of Grant Coun-
ty furnished one of the County officers, so
the voters have now an opportunity to
show their magnanimity by electing Mr..
Preston.
j. G. CLARK, of Lancaster, and present
deputy under Mr.. KENDALL, is the candi-
date for Clerk of theCircuit Court. He is
capable and stands fair.
WooD R. BEACH, of Beetown, Clerk of
the Board of Supervisors.
WILLIAM MoGoNIeAL, of Wingville, for
Register; plain, straightforward, bust
ness man; above resorting to tricks to Sc
cure public favor, and yet one of the most
willing of men to do favor for friend or
foe.
J. L. MARSH, of Harrison, for Treasurer.
He is an old resident of the County; for
for many years publisher of County news
paper, capable and good sociable fellow.
WILLIS III. CHAPMAN, of Plattcville, for
District Attorney. He is an old man, a
lawyer and ought to be well supported.
BEN. M. CoATs, of Muscoda, having long
presided in the counsels of the living, is
nominated to poCacow over the dead, and
If elected will perform the duties of Coro-
her with becoming dignity.
G. t. OvERroN, of Plattevile, for Coun-
ty Surveyor. He is reputed to be good
practical surveyor, and accurate in his cal
culations.

Special to Chairmen OF Town
Boards

A circular has been issued from the De.
partments of Madison to all members o
the late Legislature asking for certain in.
formation about the agricultural products
of the country. The following includes
nearly the substance Of the information il
request:
What amount of wheat harvested this
year in the towns of your district, and the
average per acre?
What viii probably be the amount of
corn gathered and average? of oats? Of
potatoes of other products, including
stock, and amount of cost for labor &C., for
raising bushel Of grain or a head of stock
OF course only estimates approximatino
the truth as nearly as possible are expec-
ted.
The members receiving the circulars,
deeming the information of high impor-
lance IN spreading about correct Informal
ton of our State and all parts of it, have
concluded to cali on the chairmen Of each
Town Board of Supervisors of the county
to furnish the desired information. and to
have their reports prepared when they at
tend at the annual meeting of the county
Board in November next. Gentlemen, We
hope you viii see to this.

Eg Upon consultation, the County Cen
trail Committee, appointed by the Anti
Nebraska County Convention, have conclu-
ded to not appoint times and places Tor
holding the Assembly District Conven-
tions. Therefore, the voters of each As
sembly District can meet at such time and
place as they have mind to, without fur
ther notice. We hope they will proceed
soon to call Mass District Conventions and
nominate good men for the Legislature.
JOHN WENTWORTH and the party
of his district have had Scutfle for the
assendency in his district, at the close Of
which both took different roads to their ST.

we'd that they were opposed to the Doug
las test of Democracy; the others resolved
that "repeal Of the Compromise" was the
only article of the democratic creed worth
