The following resolutions were passed
at the Prairie du Chem Convention. 1t
will be seen that Gov. Randall's admins
tration is not very unpopular in this
District.
Resolued, That by his fearless, steady,
and answering devotion to Republican
principles during his two terms of service
in our National council chamber, the Hon.
CADwALLADER G. WAsHBURNE has en-
deared himself to the hearts of all who
love liberty. His nomination to-day is
token Of our appreciation of his services,
and a pledge of the people to return him
to the scene of his triumphs with an aug
mented majority.
RESOLVED, That the thorough integrity,
the sound craftsmanship, and the manly
independence of the Governor of this
State, has compelled the respect of his OPP
ponents the admiration of bis friends,
and the gratitude Of the whole people.
Reso1ued, That the Republicans of the
"a Congressional District tender to the
Governor their undivided and hearty
thanks; and while they cannot expect per-
lection in any human administration of
affairs, they do proudly point out as
worthy of all commentator, the execu-
tive capacity, the incorruptibie honesty,
and the sterling worth of ALEXANDER W.
RANDALL.
Resolved, That the persistent efforts of
the National Administration to trample
under foot the evident will of the majority,
in its attempt to force slave constitution
upon the people of Kansas, is contrary to
the genius of our Republican institutions,
and merits the decided condemnation of
every true Republican; and that we re-
joioe in the integrity and patriotism of the
people Of Kansas in rejecting the Lecomp-
ton Constitution, with its mingled bribe
and threats, and as freemen we extend to
them the right hand of fellowship.
RESOLVED, That we re-affirm the prin-
ciples of the Republican party, as ex-
pressed in the Madison platform of 1857.

Since the investigation last winter of
the affairs of the Land Grant R. R. Co..
the Democratic press of the State has
groaned with doorous emphasis over the
venality and corruption of the Republi-
cans. They have wept over the tarnish-
ed fame Of the State. They have had
noble aspirations after purer political
life. They have made virtuous resolves
to remove money getting, time-serving
Republcans-those smooth-tongued, sane
timonious Pharisees of politics from office
aud install pure, incorruptible, clean-han-
ded Democrats in their places.
Well, the Congressional Conventions
have been held. No Republican, as far
as we have learned, whe was implicated
by the investigation, has received an par
ty nomination, or eve1 been chosen as a
delegate to any party Convention.

date for Congress in the 1st District,

Gov. randall.

Some time since the State Journal an
nounced that after the Congressional
nominations were made, Gov. Randall
would take the stump and address the
people. Thereupon the Democratic press
is greatly shocked that Aleck will descend
from the gubernatorial chair to defend his
official course before the people. But
their grief is unnecessary. Gov. Ran
dali does not go before the people to give
reasons for any Of his official acts, but to
discuss the great principles Of justice and
political truth on which the Republican
party is founded.
A desperate attempt has been and is
being made to create an opposition to
Governor Randalfs administration and
strengthen the ranks of the Democracy,
by impugning his motives in refusing to
accept the location of the St. Croix and
Superior L. G. r. r. But this game
will not win. If we are rightly informed
the Governor is willing to accept the loca-
ton when the President of the road will
certify that It is not controlled by the
Milwaukee and La Crosse Co. We be-
lieve the majority OF the people of north
western Wisconsin,, are satisfied that the
course the Governor has taken is wise
one. He has already given his reasons
for it, and when he takes the stump, it
will be to discuss broad and national
principles, and to assist in sending the
Republican delegation back to Congress,
with increased majorities.

Judge Dunn.

Chas. Dunn, of Lafayette. has been
nominated for Congress by the Democrats
of this District. This is decidedly APP
propriate nomination. 1t is favorte
but harmless pastirne with the Demo'ra-
CIV, to accuse the Republican party of be-
ing in league with the Know Nothings,
and in favor Of a proscrptive policy to-
wards foreigners; and by various means
the Democratic party have always sue
ceeded in securing the bulk Of the votes
of foreign born citizens. The Free Dem
ecrat says -
''In nominating Chas. Dunn, they have
taken the man who in the first Constitu-
tional Convention in this State, offered an
amendmen. to the article on suffrage, ex-
cldding all foreigners coming into the
State after the adoption OF the constitu-
tor, from the right of suffrage, until they
had become citizens under the U. S. laws
which req fired a probation of from five
to seven years. In Offering such an am
endment Mr.. Dunn stated that he was
not moved to it by any opinion that the
constitution of the z. S. required such a
restriction 10y the State, on the contrary
he thought the State had unlimited au-
thority in the matter. He did it simply
because he thought it was good policy to
exclude the the foreigner from the right
ofsuffrage until he had gone clear through
the probation required for perfect citizen
ship"
Now, because the Democracy have NOM
mated Mr.. Dunn, we do not accuse them
as party of having Know Nothing ten
denotes. We believe there are honest
men in both political parties who think
five or seven years is short time enough
for foreigner to obtain citizenship. All
we ask is that after this nomination our
opponents cease to pirate about a coalition
between the Republicans and Know Moth
ings.

Joshua Il. GiddiMgS.

The Star of last week in noticing the
nomination of Hutchins for Congress in
the district so long and faithfully repre-
sented by Mr.. Giddings, heads its article
with the following very geratlensanly an
nouncement:-"Old Giddings cleaned
out" Wesubmit that this is very cour-
teous way to allude to the veteran cham
pion and defender of liberty in the House.
For ourself, we regret that Mr.. Giddlngs
is not returned. The twenty-five wears
of eminent service that he has. rendered
to his country has endeared him to the
heart of the iberty-loving North, and be
should have been removed only bv the
hand of death, and the chair he has so
ably occupied should have been sbrouded
in Grape before successor filed it.
Mr.. Hutchins is an able LAWYER and
speaker, was member of the old liberty
party, and is as strongly republican as
Giddings himself.

day of the fair at this place. We have
no authority to change the call, but pre-
sumo the Convention will be adjourned

Convention at this place on the 23d.

that Byron Kilbourn denied its author

certain-the Democracy are pursuing the
very course marked out in that document.
