Mineral Point tribune. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1854-1858, 1855-10-30

Democratic Congress, in the Infamous Nebrss-
ka scheme to extend and perpetuate human bon
dase,-the vetoes Of Gov. Barstow of two Pro-
hbtory Liquor Laws, asked for by the people
and passed in accordance with their wishes by the
Legislature, are all subjects that have been fully
brought before the people, and known TO the
voters Of Wisconsin. But to keep their minds
as much as possible from these important mat
tiers, the Barstow presses and orators have raised
the cry OF k''osc Nothingisn' while they using
every secret means in their power to secure the
votes of that class of politicians for their eand-
dates. This cry is raised, not because they
dislike The Know Nothings. but because they
know that nearly all of our adopted citizens are
| opposed TO the extension of slavery, and they
nope TO catch their votes for he Candidates of a
Convention that has endorsed The Administrator
Of President Pierce with the stain of the repeal
OF the Missouri Compromise, and the extension
Of slavery into heretofore free territory still deep
upon their garments by pretending to be bitterly
opposed to secret political organizations This
is their only Object in pursuing the course they
have done upon this question.

The candidate Of that Convention for Governor
1 Coles BasgroRD without waiting to receive "nu-
merous letter asking him if he Know Moth
ing came forward and endorsed that resolution
and the entire Republican Platform. The Repub-
lican convention selected a candidate for Govern
or. whose acts in the legislature of our State in
using mis- influence to check the extravaganza oil
the present administration, are guarantee that
his administration if elected would be economi-
cll and praiseworthy. His vote in favor of Pro-
hibitory Liquor Law last winter, is sufficient to
satisfy all that he would not veto bill of that
kind, if asked for by the people, through their
| representatives.. And now, ii is left to the cleo
tors of our State to decide whether the present
Governor of Wisconsin. shall be reelected, and
| thereby all his acts approved by the people, or
whether his place shall be filled by more wor-
thy men, and Mr.. Barstow receive a inerited re-
buke from the Tax payers of our State,-whe,her
the People of this State will approve the vetoes OF
| Gov. Barstow, or elect man who will carry
out the wishes Of the people in their reasonable
requests,-and last, but not least whether the
Farmers of Wisconsin will approve the passage
of the Nebraska bill for the extension of Slavery
by the election of men who stand pledged in their
Platform to the endorsement of that measure OF
whether they will manifest their opposition to
that measure, by the election of men who stand
upon platform pledgng them to oppose the fur
ar extension of Slavery. The election of the
democratic Ticket is the endorsement of Sla
very extention. The election of the Anti Ne
braska Republican Ticket is reputation of the
I Nebraska act OF Congress Are the people o.
I Wisconsin In favor of the further extension oil
Slavery or are they for keeping it within its
present limits! Let them answer at the ballot
