Democrat has been overtaken by sud
den sorrow because tho Republicans o.
this district did not sufficiently prize the
virtue of Mr.. Wells for voting against the
| Nebraska bill as to make him their can
didate for Congress, and his sorrow finds
vent in his paper. The Chicago J0'srnaI
responds to the dolcful strain as follows:
This is all very well Mr. Wentworth
Ito say to the marines, but no one knows
better than he how the Wisconsin dele
CATION halted, and how they would have
I r0tei, had they dared, upon the Nebraska
Bill.
Had Mr. Pierce been in need of their
votes, he could have gotten them as GER
tainly as he could that of Mr.. Went
worth, himself. 1t is not such represen-
tatiyes, the people of Wisconsin want
The AntiAebraska party must have can
didates like Caesars wife, above suspi-
cion," and they are not going to peril
the cause of iecedom by trusting any
| other.
Does our neighbor suppose that the
people are ignorant of the hesitancy
and non-committalism of Mr. Wells on
this question, up to the last moment
or that they have such unbounded con
fidence in the purity, integrity and hon
esty of John b. Macy, that they will
have no one else to represent his district
but him
Mr.. w. is not going to pick his way
back into Congress with any such skel-
ton key as that, and he might as well
make up his mind to it.
Wisconsin will do the fair thing with
her representatives,. We have every con-
tidence in that noble young State. Most
of her politicians thus far, have been a
disgrace to her
Her people are right and will redeem
themselves in the coming struggle. Wis
consin has the honor of being the first
State to strike the first blow at the
loathsone fugitive slave bill. Her Chief
I Justice has done her exalted honor
among the Free States of the north, and
she will do herself additional honor by
slughing off the dead skin politicians,
which meanly and tamely represent her
in Congress- and whom Mr.. Wentworth
is seized with such sudden admiration
| for.
How could the republicans ofthe First
| District nominate a man who was put
up by the liunkcrs to defeat Charles
| Durllce, the best representative Wiscon-
sin ever had The only one of this Zen
tire Wisconsin Delegation" who SENS
/ to have acted with any maalincSs OF
honesty on the Nebraska question. was
Ben. G. Eastman of the Second District.
If we remember right Nv John b. Ma
cy came among the ''absent or not vo-
ting on this bill. Does Mr.. Wentworth
have any such recollection ?
1t will never do. These Indifferent
gentleman are not wanted any longer at
| Washington. Much less are those
wanted who go nosin@ around to see
which way matters are likely to turn
and what Kind Ct a vote viii FIJI the lar
gest pocket.
1t is highly instructive to remark in
this connection that the honesty and
manlincss of Mr.. Eastman have met theil
natural reward at the hands of the Pierce
| Democracy, they haying denied him q
denomination, and rcpuiiated him. II
they should re terminate Mr. Wells in
this district, it will be, simply because
! they know he had neither manlincss OF
honesty in his opposition to the bill.
Bcriah Brown of the Madison
1 fytrytS saws President pinrr. l. 81 ,,,no,,
and coward!y liar. The President it APP
pears agreed with Beriah to give Noonan
d turn" but changed his mind and hence
Beriah's wrath.
