Assembly Convention. - Oar
Nominee.

We have not been able to procure q
copy OF the proceedings of the Assembly
District Convention, held at Eau Claire,
Friday, Oct. lst; but we learn from II.
A. Farnham. the delegate from this Coun-
tv, something of the proceed 'ngs.
The Convention was called to orler.
H. C. Williams, of Chippewa, was chos T.
President. r. Palmer, Of Chippewa Falls,
Secretary.
The Committee on credentials reported a
full vote from every county in the District.
Convention then proceeded to choose
an Assembly District Committee: COM
posed Of the following gentlemen. Mr..
Bartlett, Of Eau Claire, Mr.. Washburne,
of Waubeek, and H. A. Farnhar, of R..
Falls.
The Convention then ballot ed for AS
semblyman. After a long and animate |
struggle between the delegates from diff
erent counties, Richard DewLurst, from
Clarke county, was declared unanimous
ly nominated.
We had hoped Mr.. Cox might be the
nominee of that Convention, anil to that
end Mr.. Farnham, the delegate from this
county did ell in his power. But Mr..
Dewhurst being fairly nominated, and IS
we are assured a good Republican, we
shall hoist his name at our mast head,
and do all in our power to insure his
election.
A word to Republicans. Last fall the
Democrats elected Senator from this
District, for no other reason than that the
Republican forces were divided. Let us
bring about different result this fall.
There is no reason why we should not
support Mr.. Dewhurst, although it was
intimated in Convention, that if he was
nominated he would not receive the sup
port of the entire District.
Let us remember that those who bolt
this nomination without good cause,
prove recreant to their protested princi-
Piles, and will be branded as traitors to Re
publieanism. The Republicans have al
ways had large majority in this District,
let your votes this tall show that it is not
decreasing.

Is RELTGIoN BEAUTIFUL always !
Ia the child, the maiden, the wife, the
mother, religion shines with holy ben
iguant heauryof his own, which nothing
on earth can mar. Never yet was female
character perfect without the steady faith
os piety. Beauty, intellect, wealth they
are al Hike pitfalls, dark in the brightest
day, unless religion throws her soft beams
around them TO purify and exalt. making
twice glorious that which seemed all love-
illness before.
Religion is very beautiful, in health, or
sickness, in wealth or poverty. We can
slever enter the sick chamber of the good,
but soft music seems to float on the ar;
and the burden oftheir song is, '.Lo, peace
is here"
Could we look NO the thousands OF
families to-day, where discomfort fights
suilenly with life, we should find the chief
cause of unhappiness want of religion IN
woman. o, religion! ben;gnant majesty,
high on thy throne thou sittest, glorious
and exalted. Not above the clouds come
never between thee and truly pious souls;
not beneath the clouds, for above these is
Heaven. opening through broad vista of
exceeding beauty.

The !'Star''--" Dead Issues,'

The .Ster has finally committed itself
in favor of the Administration of James
Buchanan. And it further declares that
Judge Dunn, the democratic candidate
for Congress from this district, sustains
the Administration of James Buchanan.
All right-we are glad to find the .Star
somewhere.
But the next question is-where is the
Administration The Star say that the
Democracy stands on the Cincinnati lat
form of 1856; but James Buchanan does
not stand on this platform, rs can be
shown by high Democratic authority.
Take the following from the St. Paul
Pioneer &C Democrats:
The history of Mr.. Buchanans Adj
m;nistraton shows that, with whatever
earnest rhetoric he sustained this great
principle dur NC the presidential canvass
and the early days Of his administration,
he suddenly ignored the doctrine at the
very first occas on which was presented
for its practical application. When the
Lecompton instrument was handel to the
Pres dent for transm. ssion to Congress.

fact that from preamble to attestation it
was spotted with fraud, anil that it had
been virtually repudiated by ive-sixths of
the people of Kansas. it was conf lently
expected by all honest Democrats that be
would wash his hands of its iniquties and
quietly deliver it over to Congress for
Judgment, execution and burial. When,
in disregard of this just expectation, he
formally endorsed Lecomptonism, and
ushered it before the presence of Con-
oress with the recommendation of the
Executive favor, and labelled it as a
Democratic measure. and as embodying
the essential spirit of Popular Sovereignty.
the country was puzzled between wonder
at the audac;ty of the proceeding and
disgust at its venality."
We can produce abundant Testimony
on this point, if called for.
The Star says that this Lecomp:on
auestion-this Kansas question ''has been
settled; it is dead ISSUE and on the
future policy with regard to the admission
of Territories as States, the President,

Naval school was brought over by attache of the
the United States Legation at COnstantinople and
palmed off on the United States the Envoy OF the

duped into asking $40 900 of Congress for the support
Of the spurious Envoy while in this country; and ON
this money the Derant schoOmaster and his show

No new outbreaks of consequence had occurred.
