ed2
Only one Douglass paper in the Sd Con-
gressional District, has been frank and cam
did enough to publish the proceedings of
the Fond du Lac Convention, which nom
mated Judge Larrabce for reelection
With the exception of the Chiffon Times
none Of the Douglas papers have published
tho resolution offered by Mr.. Elwell of
Sheboygan. Gentlemen, do not dodge
but toe the mark. Show your hand. Do
you approve of Larrabee's views? If YOU
do, go in" for him.
Mr.. Elwell's resolution is as follows:
" lPEereas, 1t is understood that the Hon.
Charles II. Larrabee. Representative in Con
gress from this District, is a candidate for re-
nomination before this Convention. and Jgboro-
as, the said Charles II. Larrabee declared. pub
hshed and circulated, in a speech made bv
him in the House of Representatives Decem-
Der H. 1859 tho following sentiments. 70 wit

Ind, Whereas, 1t is due to the Democracy of
the Third Congressional District. that their
views upon these great issues shall not be mis-
understood, therefore,
Resofted, That we disapproye of the above
sentiments of Mr.. Larrabee, as expressed in
his speech
Mr. Clark, delegate from HORIZON, the
inevitable Sat, moved to lay the preamble
and resolution on the table, upon which
motion Mr.. Hobart, of Calumet, called for
the ayes and nays, and they were tabled
b. vote of 55, to %.
Mr.. Larrabee was nominated and the
Convention passed the following resolution:
ReSohed. That the course of Charles
H. Larrabee as the Congressional Repre-
sentative of this district, has been such as
to entltle him to the confidence and support,
not only of the party we represent. but the
people, and VIC pledge him our continued
friendship aud our efforts towards his re-
election.
1t does not appear by what vote this
last resolution was adopted, but it is fair
to presume it was adopted BY the same
vote that laid Mr. Elwell's on the table.
Now. how stands the issue? MIR. Lar
rabee ''to-day entertains the highest posi-
bic respect for the present occupant Of the
Executive chair. Has he taken back
that sentiment? Not one word of it. This
ought to secure him the votes Of the Breek
enridge men, if it does not the votes of The
Douglas men. 1t is very generally believ-
ed that Mr.. Douglas and his supporters
do not entertain the most profound respect,
either for Mr. Buchanan, or his admins
tration. True. the House was not organi-
zed when Judge Larrabee made this speech
and he was hopeful; but nor, on the
stump, he declares that he stands by the
v ole of it, as when he made 1t.
