PRESIDENTIAL CALCULATIONS.

As the time gradually draws when pre-
parations will he made for another Presidential
Campaign, some of the political papers, both
North and South, arrangi ing tables of the cleo
toral vote and calculating the chances of success
or defeat for principles or for men. We notice
that in some of the States as the usual conven-
ton for nominating candidates for State Officers
are called, there discussions as to the proprie-
TT of appointing the delegates to the National
Conventions of next year. This indeed, we have
seen only in some OF the democratic" papers
belonging to one wing or the other of that inter
esting party no such absurd idea having, SO far
a. we know, entered into the minds of members
of other parties.
1t is we'll enough, however, for the people of
the North to begin to think of the work they
have before them for next year, and with the view
only, of placing before them some figures which
they ought to bear in mind, we copy an article
which lately appeared in the columns of the Rich
mond (va) Examiner, showing the view which
one ultra pro-slavery journal takes Of the pros
pect. The Examiner says:
The following statement shows the votes of the
several States in the electoral college which will
choose the next President

Our Position.

The Milwaukee Free Democrat appears some
what nettled at our remarks upon first publishing
the call for Republican State Convention, where
in we expressed a determination 10 lend aid
to the election of no man to State Office who
was not, in opinion, qualified for the station
Whether the editor of the Free Democrat considered
our remarks personal, we can only judge from the
:enor of his reply; neither does it make particle
of difference with us. Party ties have no claims
upon us, unless the candidates nominated by that
party are men of honesty and capacity. Agita-
ten, fanatcism and dictation, present to mind
no claims for office. The Republican Platform,
10 the main, meets our approval We are de-
eiaedly opposed to the extension of slavery and
slave power Mr.. BoorH, any other person.
and no man need expect our support for Office, who
in any way, favors It's extension. But to meet orr
views of what is required Of State Officer, a
man must posses other qualifications, in addition
10 those Q! opposition 10 slavery. The admins
;ra,ion of State government should not be mar
rowed down TO tina; one idea" Let us have men
who not only opposed to the extension of the
peculiar institution but who are qualified in
other respects for discharging the duties of Office
with fidelity and ability-men who knowing the
wishes of the people, willing to administer the
government for the people instead of re party
We have plenty of such in the Republican
ranks; and al the same time it cannot be denied
thcre men in tina, party, Gas well as every
ciher) who care more for their political adj
vancement, than for the interests of those whose
suffrage they covet. Should the Republican par
" be unfortunate a, to be forced into the NOM
nation of such men, We repeat again they need
not expect our influence whatever il may amount
to, In securing election. The time has gone
by when party presents a stronger claim upon the
frsemen of Wisconsin than all other qualifications
Some few of the bunker sham Democracy may
still desire 10 charm their victims with a party
name which with the party leaders means nothing
than the spols of office 10 the victorious
but all homes; men whether Democrats Wings,
Free Sellers or Republicans, feel that principle
possesses stronger claim than party. They have
become Disguised with the manner in which our
State IS well as our National government is ad-
mlnistered aud desire a change OF both men and
measures. They have witnessed the enormous
frauds attempted to be committed upon the Treas-
ury and upon their rights, and they feel no desire
TO have their places filled by men who viii fol-
low in the footsteps of their predecessors Let
men be nominated for Office who possess capacity
for filling them with credit and ability in accord
ance with the wishes OF the majority, and we have
NJ doubt OF their election. But if political dem
sgogues are selected by the Republican State Con
von;ion as standard bearers, we have no desire to
see Them elected. If such men must have office,
let :hem come from some other party.

The Dubuque Celebration.

The completion of the Illinois Central R. Ro.d
to Dunieth, opposite Dubuque, was celebrated at
the latter place on the 18th. A large number of
persons having received invitations, the city was
thronged with VISITORS and every possible exertion
used by the citizens to render the occasion pleas
ant to all. We have never attended celebration
that passed off in better style than the one at Du-
buque. Their dinner, though delayed somewhat
beyond the appointed hour, was gotten up in a
manner that reflects much credit upon the Cons
mittee of Arrangements, and although the number
in attendance was even larger than was anticipa-
ted, there was enough and to spare We have not
time space for extended notice, but suffice it
to say. the celebration was one long to be remem-
bered with pleasure, not only by the citizens OF
Dubuque, but by large number OF invited
guests.
