NEE FOR CoNGREes.-Since the nomi
nation OF Beriah Brown by the democ
racy, the question is frequently asked
who is he? Mr.. Brown we believe was
first known in this State politically, as
the conductor of newspaper journal al
Madison. He had considerable success
in the printing business at Madison, not
so much as an editor, as in his adroij'
ness in securing several profitable
slices Of printing from the party.
Some few years ago, he became resi-
dent Of Waukesha county, where he
has been engaged in the milling bust.

strenuous efforts to gain the ascendancy
in the state. For this object no pains
have been spared, to procure the cleo
ton of delegates in the primary meet
ings, favorable to the Barstow interest
In this particular there has been sufi-
cency Of success,to accomplish Browns
nomination. The question is now fully
propounded to the people whether they
will have a revival Of "Forty Thiefsm''
in this State. Mr.. Noonan, a prominent
democrat in Milwaukee, published a let
ter in one of the Milwaukee papers, a
few days prior to the Democratic Con
yentlon at Racine, in which, among 9th
ers, he designated Beliah Brown as fit
candidate, to give the voters ofthis Cen
gressional District, a complete surfcit Of
Ea:stow coiruptionism.
1t is but recently that the people OF
the State have professed great ascorish-
ment aud indignation Of the gigantic
corruptions revealed blythe Lend Grant

Democratic Congressional Convention
at Racine, was represented by caodi-
dates and delegates, who wee the II ost
