THE PRINCIPAL caSDtDArE's rmycrP1

But lest may be too sweeping, let us take
the head and front of the ticket, Gov. Barstow
Where Is he upon any point of faith-except
some plain and incontrovertible one-of the
llemocrotic party of the Union There is not,
probably, in the State who can tell So
far as being nominated for Governor having any
bearing upon party issues, he might Just as well
have run in the Tongo Island as in this free
and intelligent State of Wisconsin But there
was one point which he was decided. He
was unequivccally and boldly in favor of the
unrestricted use of liquor and beer. We came
pretty near saying that he had no defined posi-
ton; but Will not do him injustice We
know how he stood upon that point We heard
OF 1t before the conventions we heard of it dur
ing the sitting; we have heard of il every dav
since, Drowsy, Ioaferish fellows halIooed it
through the streets; liquor dealers of high and
low degree perambulated the State asking SIM
port for him because of it. There was no mis-
take about that: =" Bill was all right ON the
liquor question"

THE PLATFORM AND CANDIDATES.

We have said that there was no principle ex-
hibited in the proceedings of tlat Convention
There was show of platform; but what did
it amount to? How much of earnestness or
definiteness was there really in regard to any
practical political issue? Who on that ticket
ever showed his hand upon the question now
agitating all parties, whether the general govern
ment or the people themselves shall regulate
domestic laws? We ask this not in a sneerinc
way, but for information. If any of them did
il we have no knowledge of the fact, and will
be glad 70 make any correction.

THE BARsrow CONVENTION.


frees its mind respecting the late campaign.
BARSTow CONVENTION
The State Convention of last August was the
lowest kind of farce. If our friend Jack
Langrishe had enacted it, he would have been
hooted from the boards by the very boys who
go in at half price. Men sat there, grave as
owls, representing counties which they never
had seen, and which they knew as little about
as they do of decent society Questioned about
the right of those counties to the representation
which was claimed for them, they told long
stories about the vast extent of land and the
magnificent democratic maj orities which they
were possessed OF, and dilated upon the mon
strous injustice which would be inflicted upon
those " marvellous regions by denying them
seats there 1t is hardly worth while to say
that, at the election, those counties cast but few
more votes than their representations cast for
them in the Convention, and those few We're
pretty much against the democratic ticket.
Conventions may be packed, as cards may be
stocked" handsonely-so as to elicit some sort
of admira ion from those who detect the cheat !;
tickets may be and have been got up according
to arrangement 50 smoothly, that even If
one is not among the winners, he can laugh
good naturally the whole thing, and i" go
in for it. But there was nothing of that sort
in this last Madison Convention Barstow got a.
crowd into it as crowd is got to dig canal, or
do any other dirty worl.. 1t had not the merit
Of skill or cunning They sat there in mass,
and made up ticket by main strength there
was no more exhibition of intellect, demo-
cratic principle, or any other principle, than
YOU would find in a slaughter house The Con-
vention was packed" but it was packed as
beef or pork is.

4 woRp or WARNING

All our popular elections influenced and decided BY
the active agency Of politicians and the quiet
ures Of the people We make this distinction Ia reference
70 that class Of politicians who a SELFISH ambitious An
nisewho strive to misead the people by every article
and to WELD their passions to blipd slr Judgment No
two antagonisms are gr:or than the objects Of such poll
ueAns al the great body Of the people The love OF
count and the virtue Of government have no place in the
standard Of duty and morals with the trading politician
The people make these high considerations cardinal
they pertain TO their own happiness and security.
We have known period, in the progress Of our
history when this great and vital political distinction
marked at this time and under organization
imposing All the political and social elements have
conspred in form another to disturb the peace Of
the country to dsorganze the government oencourage
dsoyay to the constitution and the Union to array
part of our common country against another with all the
intensity Of jealousy and hate This evil spirit pouring
its poison into the listening of popular ereduliy IT is
dgging the sober mind of the multitude with fatal nox-
ioation it has seduced aithless priesthood who
prosttung the affairs of religion with political blasphemy
it forging chains for popular Sovereignty in this hour OF
its stupor that before il wakes up reason it may be
manacled by traitors This is fiction. 1t IS all in
country--active, persevering, and undaunted.
1t is said that eternal vigilance is the price Of liberty
It is now menaced in the most nsdious FORMS for those
who should be the watch beguied by willy enemies
and are of duty listing to their sorcery.
To this most dangerous and unnatural association we
plead dissolution and pray the sovereign people to wake
up the dangers that surround them and exercise Their
authority the only safe and Of protect
ing their rights. Teach nsidious and venal pot-
ciaps teach demagogues and traitors that they have
aines with the people and that they have mistaken
their power they think to conquer the virtue or over
reach the intelligence Of those who have everything
stake in the preservation Of stable and pure
The whole theory of government looks to but on,
power and that the people. Everything that conflicts
with that however innocent must disturb the harmony
its operation And every exaneous purpose that would
attempt to control it would be dangerous to the extent
the evil medated. This power, unadulterated and
absolute in its authority, is what we wish to see pre-
served with scrupulous Jealousy

THE BLACK REPUBLICANS AND THE GERMAN
VOTE

The Albany Evening Journal has characteristic article
in relation to the prospects Of the black republicans in
Pennsylvania We make the following extract:
" Eastern Pennsylvania, democratic stronghold it is,
does not by any promise much as its prossvery
guardians DESIRE Germans who have all their lives voted
straight democratic ticket beginning to discover that
where slavery begins true democracy ends"
We that the black republicans have counted,
and still count largely upon accessions from what is termed
the German vote of Pennsylvania The strong German
counties in Eastern Pennsylvania Berks Lancaster
Lebanon, Northampton, and Lebgh counties. To show
what grounds there for the Journals intmation that
very considerable number Of Pennsylvania Germans
about abandoning the party OF their Inheritance their
choice and their earliest and latest Affections give be
low the vote of these FIVE counties the last presidential
election and the estimated for the coming October
election The estimate has been prepared with great care
and from sources which deem quite reliable:
November, 1852. October, 1856.
