among the people, and will be met man
fully on the great leading topics which
now so widely divide the Democratic and
Republican parties.
1t appears that the delegates to that
Convention had difficulties to encounter,
as is generally the case with all similar
bodies, before union and harmony could
be made to prevail in their deliberations.
Report informs US that some of the DIS
appointed candidates were very consider
ably soured at the result, and gave free
and untrammeled expressions of feeling
at the termination of their consultations
in reference to the manner IN which they
were so unwillingly permitted to remain
at home, to console themselves as best
they could amidst their ~consolng friends
and family circles.
GENERAL ~EsTABROoK,
Our nominee, is in the field, where he
intends to be found battling for victory
Until the last hour Of the approaching
October election, in the capacity of candi-
date for Delegate to Congress. 1t will
be satisfactorily a~scertained that he is
not anovice nor a sluggard in the business
of electioneering, bat EXPERIENCE will
accompany him throughout the campaign,
and be his guiding star to enlighten his
pathway to promotion and honor, notwith-
standing he may find DAILY discourage
ments to encounter and overcome.
The BugIs says; "The Democracy of
Nebraska are NEST fortunate in their Sc
lection of a standard bearer for the pres
ent canvass. GEN. EsTABRooK, their
nominee for Delegate to Congress, is an
old, able and ~unwavering advocate of
Democratic principles, enjoying an I'M
usual share of public confidence and a
popularity co-extensive with a very wide
acquaintance, from long intercourse with
the people Of the West, and the discharge
of official duties in various important posts
of public trust. His estimable character
as a man, his noble, generous disposition,
heightened honor and g%entlemanly bear
ing, no less tkan his political fidelity and
zeal for the common welfare, as depen-
dent upon the permanent a~scendency Of
Democratic principles, have made him a
popular f%avorite wherever he has lived,
and, among a Democratic people, like
those of Nebraska, given him such a
strength as to render his election a certain
result of his nomination.
Though this is the first time, we believe,
that he has been a candidate before the
people Of that Territory, he wear the
%laurels of more than one victory over the
enemies of constitutional liberty. In the
year 1852 he was nominated by the
Democracy of Wisconsin, where he then
resided, as their candidate for Attorney
General, and his canvass of that State
was marked by an ability and success
never excelled by any man who ever came
before the people in that capacity. He
was triumphantly elected, and held the
responsible position of Attorney General
of Wisconsin until he was transferred to
Nebraska in the capacity of U. S. Dis
triCt Attorney. Having from the first de-
termined to adopt that beautiful and fer
tile Territory as his permanent home for
the future, all his interests are identified
with those of her people, and his sympa-
thies warmly enlisted in behalf of what
ever is essential to the developement of
her resources and the advancement of her
prosperity. Regarding his election as
certain, we congratulate the people of
Nebraska upon securing the services of
so able a man TO protect their rights and
advocate their interests in the halls of
Congress. Though much talent and worth
of character we're comprised in the list of
competitors for the nomination, probably
no other man, at the present time, could
have been selected combining more of
the elements of popularity, and certainly
none capable of exercising a more valu-
able influence in Congress for the benefit
of his constituents"
He was also a very prominent and lead
ing spirit in Wisconsin which elevated
him to a seat in the Constitutional Con-
vention of that State, in which he assisted
very materially with his energy and we'll
balanced judgment, and intelligence in
giving shape and character to the instru-
ment which was the groundwork of
the great and important progress and
acknowledged prosperity of that young
and thriving member of the confederacy.
He also held many prominent official
positions in and for the district in which
he resided. In connection with his pro-
fessior he was for several years the choice
of the people for prosecuting attorney, in
which Office he has the reputation of ac-
