The Nominee for Chief j Justice,

We place at the head Of our columns
to-day the name of Judge A. Scott Sloan,
of Dodge county. tho nominee of the
Republican party, for Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court Of this State.
Judge Sloan is widely and fayorably
known as learned and able lawyer, aud
as man ofirreproachable life and char
acter. As Judge Of tho 4th Circuit of
this State, he won a high reputation for
Judicial acu men, answering impartiality
and rectitndo. The choice of the Conyen-
tiol ould h I'D y ha :al e on m;n bet
ter calculated to uuite the entire Repub-
ican vote of the State, and to secure the
respect and confidence Of the people of
all political sLa les of opinion. We look
confidently for his election by very
large majority.
The Convention, in taking up new
man, instead of either Judge Smith or
Judge Dixon-who were most prominent
ly spoken of in connection with the Chief
Justiceship prior to the Convention
were actuated by desire to promote the
harmony of the party, and to avoid as far
as POSSIBLE, al acrimonious PERSONAL
ties and emb lrrassing questions likely t
result from the nomination of either of
the gentlemen in quest on. While the
members Of the Convention, including
both State Rights and Anti State Rights
men, deprecated the prescription of any
Republican on account of his views upon
the appellate jurisdiction Of the U. 5.
Supreme Court, in cases raising under
the laws of the United States, it was felt
by majority of both classes, that the
nomination Of either Smith or Dixon-or
the neglect to nominate candidate at all
leaving those gentlemen to 90 before the
people as Independent candidates-would
raise that issue in q very direct manner,
Therefore the Convention determined tc
take a third man, unobjectionable to tho
party at large, and known to possess the
learning, the solid Judgment, and the
purity and uprightness of charter essen
tial for the high and responsible position
of the presiding Judge Of the Supreme
Court of the State-State Journal.

VINO shall be JHdges
County Treasurer.

As was predicted in this paper last
week. great efforts are making to induce
Republicans to vote for Mr.. Wetherby for
Judge, on his personal merits, and aleg-
ed dement's of Mr.. Spencer and on the
plea that party politics shodld be eschew-
ed: but vet the faithful Democrots are as
sured that he is "sound on the goose"
and can be relied on. At bis instigation,
doubtless, his friends publish to the faith
full the folio wing:
sVicwing Judge We;herby in the light
of politician, he is n Democrat, has al
ways been found within the organization
of the patty, and probably will continue
in tue Democratic faith while the princi-
pies of the party remain unchanged.
Can anything be pla n r? While re-
pubhcans are asked to vote for him on no
party grounds, and while some of his
friends are affecting great deal of horror
at connecting politics with the Judiciary,
others are thus officially assuring the De-
mocracy of his strict party fidelity. Anc
to give emphasis to this assurance, they
show that he repudiates the position OF
Supreme Justices Wilton, Smith, Cole,
Paine, and obediently bows to the Slave
Oljgarchy, by saying that
ole is not of tho opinion that the SUI
2rome Court of the State of Wisconsin
is the supreme law Of the Nation, or that
any State Court can supersede the author
hv of the United States"
Tn plain English, this is saying that
Mr.. Wethtrby does not believe Wisconsin
has a right 10 protect the liberty of her
citizens, nor that the Supreme Court has
right to declare the Fugitive Slave Act
unconstitutional. Do the Republicans
want such man for Judge? 1t is hoped
not Hudson Chronicle.

THE TAX SALE QUESTION.

Considerable interest has been excited
by the contemplated sale of lands, tor
taxes in this county, in April next. Mr.
Wise, learning that it was Mr. Southwick, $
intention to sell in April, circulated Pc
tition, praying him to postpone the sale
until September. We publish an article
from Mr.. Southwick, giving the reasons
for his action, and also an article from
tie Transcript, which states the whole
case in clear and explicit manner.

Douglas.

We are quite obliged to our numerous
for stating that Mr.. Douglas is the
strongest candidate for next President
that can be run by the Democratic PAL
ty, whence we infer that he will be nom
mated at Charleston. Our displeasea
correspondents in no case object that our
estimate of Mr. Douglass strength is mis-
taken-on the contrary, they all either
expressly or tacitly admit that it is quite
true, but that We ought to have suppress
cd it on that account. We differ with
these friends on every point. We hold
it our duty to apprise our readers of nil
interesting and important truth that
comes to our knowledge, and that it can
never be impolitic to do so. Wo hold
moreover, that if Mr.. Douglas be indeed
the strongest candidate that our adverse
res can select. their National Convention
will be quite likely to know the fact, even
though VIC did not apprise them of it. We
hold, too, that the leading Lecompton
conspirators will do their utmost to defeat
Douglass nomination. wherein they
may possibly succeed and in that case,
we shall have some remarks to offer which
would be Invested of all their force If it
were supposed that we made them simply
because Douglas was ruled off the course.
And still further: we trust both friends
adversaries believe that we say what is
true becausei it is true, without always
waiting to decide that it is also polite;
and we moan to deserve that reputation.
just word more; We hold that
the Democratic Party ought to nominate
| Douglas; VIC hold also that the People
ought to defeat him. Not merely be-
cause his doctrines and inculcations re-
| speoting Slavery are unsound, but be-
cause he is the responsible author of a
perilous and damaging agitation, do we
wish to see him candidate, and well
beaten. We need not say that every Re
publican-every American who deplores
Human Bondage in our country-odeht
to be reused to special activity by such
nomination.. That is self-cvidcnt pro-
position. But, should Douglas be nom
mated, we believe forciblc appeal may
be made to the Conservative sentiment
of the country to array itself against him.
! Our Conservatives profess to deplore and
condemn Slavery agitation. Who has
been more wanton, persistent. pestilent
ag:tator than the author Of the Nebraska
bill? What more certain to extend and
intensity agitation than certain provisions
Of Mr.. Douglass forcshadowed Sedtion
Act? We insist that those who, in
clamoring against sectional and Slavery
agitation, mean anything else than that
Slavery should be everywhere legalized
and fortified, must do their utmost to de.
feat Mr.. Douglas, should he be nomina-
ted at Charleston on the decided Pro
Slavery platform which is morally GER
tain to be showed under whoever NAV
there he preferred. Mr.. Douglas is emf
nently the fit leader Of the Sham Democ-
racy in 1860, and a fiogging is their rich
/ ly merited fate. We shall do our at.
most to subject them to that destiny, land
all the more if they are to take it over his
shoulders. ~ Y. Tribune.

Gg The prospect for the election Of
the Republican candidate for Circuit
Judge, seems to US to be very favorable.
True, Mr.. Weth rby's friends are making
and will continue 10 make great exertions
in his behalf. Some republicans are at
work for him, and strong effort will be
made in St. Croix and some parts of this
Co., to gain republican votes for him on
the ground Of his alleged peculiar fitness
for the office. This effort we believe will
be pretty general failure. Republicans
generally, as far as we can learn, know
the dodge aud are standing firm. The
stories of Mr.. Spencer unftness, are treat
Ell with the contempt which they deserve
and when republican hears this charge,
he should tell the one makingit that he
is insulting the common sense of the en-
tire Chippewa Valley, as that Valley pre-
scented and endorsed Mr.. Spencer, and re-
publicans elsewhere who know him, COM
mend the W = lom of their choice.
Now, we hold it is the plain, direct
duty of true Republicans in Pierce and
st. Croix Counties to vote for Mr.. Spen-
Ger. In accordance with the general de-
sire Republican Convention was called
That Convention was marked by the ut
most fairness and caudor, and the nomi-
nation Of Mr.. Spencer was made unani-
nous. No one can honestly and serious
ly question his ability and fitness. He
was nominated by our representatives,
he bears our standard, represents ourprn-
cipIes and holds to our faith. Let us
give him our hearty and united sup
port.

To tie Editor Of tie Transcript,
In the North IVeStcrn Democrat o
the 9TH inst. | notice a communication
signed, p. V. Wise, and appended there
to document purporting to be a petit
ton signed by Mr.. Wise, and 1873 9TH
ers requesting me to postpone the deln-
9uent tax sale # the present year from
April to September. Although the re-
quest when presented for my considera-
lou, had been signed by only about TWEEN
ty of those whose names appeared in the
published document, ard that l did not
see it from that time till its publication.
The importance of the subject-as well
as proper respect for all the signers of
the request, seems to demand that an ex-
PLANTATION of my views and the course [
have pursued. should be made as public
rs tho request itself.
And first l would say that presume
it did not occur to those who signed the
request, that they were asking ne TO yio-
late or set aside. statute law; vet such
was substantially the fact; for the law is
positive in requiring the County Treasur-
er to sell the lands, either in April or tlc
month next but one succeeding the month
in which the returns are required to be
made except for causes beyond their con-
troll; such as any contingencies rendering
it impossible to sell as aforesaid, in which
case sale may take place in Septem-
Der.
l had never heard this view Of the law
questioned, till recently, and whe.l was
informed that the above mentioned re-
quest was being circulated, | submitted
the matter to Judge Clapp, of Hudson.
(the District Attorney of this county not
