The Breckinridge Ticket In wisconsin.
The Madison Argns and Democrat, the
central organ of the Wisconsin Democ-
racy, is in doubt what to do The fol-
lowing extract will show what its wishes,
are:
:The conspicuous ability, the lofty pat
riotism, the unblemished character and
stainless name of John G. Breckinridge
render him a candidate fit for the De-
mocracy to support; and fit statesman
for the nation to crown with its honors.,
We are strogly disposed to raise his name
at once, and announce that we do battle
under his leadership. We should be
proud to fight under SO gallant cap
tain, though we fought alone, and were
our own feelings to be consulted, we
should not hesitate.
Breckinridge comes before the people
with one advantage. Heis untrammeled
by a cumbersome and offensive platform
His own proved integrity and accom-
plished craftsmanship, are the guarantees
ihe offers, By these we are willing to
abide He is not embarrassed by either
pledge to slave code or an announce
ment of Squatter Sovereignty dogmas.-
He gallantly came to Douglas support,
when he ran for Senator in 1858 against
Lincoln, and the letter of the Vice
President doubtless exercised an infu-
ence sufficiently powerful to have decided
that evenly balanced and nearly drawn
battle.
From this expression of our views,
our course, should all the present can
didates remain in the field, and should
the canvass assume no new phass-may
be clearly inferred. But family hoping
that matters may be so compromised as
to leave but one ticket in the field, and
partly from the causes We have men,
toned, we have decided to await the
events Of the few days to come.
