A Good Nomination.

The Wings of the Quincy District have nonaina-
ted Archibald Williams for Congress. We think
he will be elected. Nebraska Richardson IS his
opponent MIR, w. is one of the ahiest men in
this or any other State and his election would be
an honor TO the West. He was u. S. District At
iorney of the State under Gen Taylor's Admins
traton, and discharged the duties of his Office VITA
eminent ability In comparison OF qualification
for the Office Richardson bears no show with him
even if Nebraska be thrown out, but with that mill
stone about Richardson's neck may he sink deep
and strong in the of popular retribution.--

A faithful friend both resolu'e ard kind
No sad toned bell announced his coming here;

The eyes of many watched where be was laid.
Nor will they soon forget, the children, least,
His honest face, sure presence at each feast
The bark, significant to all the house.

The inquisitiveiy lifted ear,
The look OF resi- guaton child,

II The Democrat says, as far as the gucstit
of Slavery is concerned it approves of the Ne
braska BILL but afterwards adds, we do not
believe in the extension of Slavery" Here is
plain contradiction of terms While the editor is
opposed to the extension of Slavery, he approves
the very act of Congress which repeats the Mis-
souri, Compromise, we'll knowing that by such
repeal large portion of territory, before free
from the curse of Slavery, is thrown open to the
traffic in human flesh and blood as effectualy as
II is sanctioned in South Carolina. Tn advocacy
OF the doctrine of Popular Sovereignty" in the
columns of the Democrat is only intended as a
n-kier, TO operate upon the conscience of tue
editor while he attempts TO sustain measure
which his better judgment satisfies him is wrong
The people of the United States, 6y their Repre-
sentatives in Congress, restricted the limits of
Slavery, IN the Missouri Compromise, as effectu-
ally it could be done by human legislation, and
yet, the editor of the Democrat would have is
readers believe the doctrine OF popular sover-
eighty" required the repeal of that act, that the
people might vote upon he subject Would not
the Democrat like TO have the question of holding
slaves IN Wisconsin again thrown open in order
TO permit her citizens TO enjoy once more this
right OF popular sovereignty" upon question
long since settled In eur State Such an act
would be no less an insult upon the people Of
Wisconsin than the same feature in the Nebraska
Bill is upon the citizens of that territory, and yet
the Democrat approves this Slavery feature in
that Bill, because il is party measure. Wonder
ii our neighbor considers the support of the Ne
braska Bill a test of Democracy, or is this me
wrong latitude for that doctrine

The time for holding Conventions for the Eomi-
approaching election, is near at hand Complaints
are frequently made that unfairness is sometimes
used in securing nominations for favorite candi-
dates. The only remedy for this evil is at the
Primary Meetings. As a general thing, these
meetings are considered of so little importance,
away, while those vino have ends to accomplish
are generally on hand with their friends and as
matter of course, have it all their own way in
selecting Delegates who are known to be favor
able to their designs. This is all wrong If you
would have good men nominated to Office you
SD ,uld that good men and true are selected as
Delegates to the Conventions where these nomina
lions to be made. 1t is not to be expected
that all the candidates nominated at a Convention
composed of Delegates from different portions of
Il county district, will be just the persons de
sired by all the voters of the district but of this
fact all may rest assured, if all the Delegates are
good men, no candidate will be nominated who is
unfit for the station he is desired to fill. With
these views, we would again urge upon oil who
opposed to the present msrue of the State
and National Administrations-ail who are OPP
posed to the principles of the extension of Sla-
very, as forced upon the people in the infamous
Nebraska Bill TO attend the Primary Meetings,
and help to select Delegates TO the Conventions
who will nominate but good men and true
for Office II this be done, depend upon it you
