Proslavery Democratic Nomination for

sis 1t would certainly seem so, for the party
in this instance, has rejected all its ewn ilk, and
taken man who, all his time, has INDUCED
in unmeasured expressions of contempt, ridicule
and condemnation 81 democratic administrations,
democratic leaders and the democratic garty In
general. 1t is fair, therefore, to presume that
this nomination was made, not because the can
didate has had any affinity with the democratic
party, but because of his supposed availability
for a specific purpose. Mr.. Evans has always
been Wing of tie most intense kind, and so
openly and avowedly has been his prediction
for that now extinct race of politicians, that he
has generally refused to affiliate with any other
party organization, except last fall, he was an
out and out Fremonter. He has always, up to
last week, obstinately and persistently declared
he would take no Office of legislative orjudicial
character. No man previous to Saturday last
when he was put III nomination by that august
body at Kellogg tavern. ever heard him utter
word in favor of the democratic party. This
state of the case then, suggests another curious
enquiry -
What are is nop to b. ground?
When bodies of hitherto repubsive afinities,
are suddenly brought in contact and close COM
munon, more than ordinary causes are suppos
ed to have produced such an effect. The For
ty," are a scheming set of fellows, and hold a
controlling influence in the ranks of the democ'
racy in this portion of the State; hence it is
shrewdly suspected they have few more axes
of the old sort to grind. If the democracy o.
Kenosha county were intent on supporting the
national democracy as a matter of principle,
they certainly wonll select man for standard
bearer, who had hitherto given some proof OF
his devotion to the party. But since this has
not been done, the Kenosha democracy will not
blame any one for suspecting them of Interior
purposes. The real axe which the aforesaid
nomination is intending to grind will probably
remain secret, for the reason the candidate will
probably not be elected therefore no opportuni-
ty will be afforded for making the development.
vii the candidate aou endorse the doctrines Of the
party?
Most certainly he will; how can he do other
wise His acceptance of the nomination binds
him to'',he party with all its associations, its

clares that there are millions of people in our
land, ,chose rights re are not bound to respect,
however peaceable, virtuous or honest they may
be. must be swallowed by the candidate without
wry face. The old theory of Calhoun, which
has been secuted, sneered at, and Indignantly
repudated by the democracy, until quite recent
ly resusciated by Buchanan, viz that the con-
stitution of the United States carries slavery in
to free territory, and is therefore national and
freedom sectional, must be taken without any
contortions or grimaces whatever So of the
other doctrines of the sham democracy which
this bunker senatorial candidate has been heard
to blast hundreds Of times, with such logic and
eloqueuce, as he is wont to use must now be
adopted into his creed and sworn to, if he hon
estly serves the party whose servant and expo
nent he consents to be.

now, and if some side object can be gained and
the cause of pro-slavery ANAL gamation helped,
it will answer. But there is another class of the
