The Republicans are holding two or three
meetings in different parts ofthe county ev-

more or less frequently engaged in address

ward and township is also making, so that
we may know just how and when to strike.
IF earnest work will redeem Dane County,
it IS bound to be done, and you will have
no occasion to repeat the scolding you gave

Mr.. stratton again spoke with both force
and effect.
Mr. Warner himself was then heard and
we think very successfully repealed among
others the charge that be was moi Repub-
lican.
Mr.. Hilton again explained hat the
charges and objections he made We're moi
his own but thoseof Others
The question was now called for on Mr..
Preston's motion, and confusion becoming
the order. before the chairc9uld put the mo-
ton fairly to the house those who wished
to sand by the nomination crowded TO one
side, with shouts for Warner and three
cheers for Lincoln, Leaving the few on the
other side. Thus the matter ended in a
ratification of Warmers nomination by a
vote Of ten or fifteen 10 one.
We are all alike interested in the result
Of the election Of members of Assembly,
and we regret exceedingly the causes as well
as results Of such dissatisfaction us appears
70 be in the West District. Possibly there
Us no remedy for the dissatisfaction, but
there IS WAY to prevent the evil which il
threatens. There are charges preferred
against Mr.. Warner which are not true
One Of those charges was told to us and We
werel old logo to Mr.. Cole forproof W.
believed The charge until we went to Mr.
Cole and found instead of proof that thS
charge was false. We believed alsothat Mr.
Warner opposed and voted against Mr.. Bal
lantine last fall, until the contrary was PROV
ed TO US. When such charges are made
and repeated by men who know them to
be false our only conclusion is thai those
men are not honestly opposing him. AS
10 those whose motives are just We would
say that the Republican party Of the State
will look to them anxiously and earnestly
this once to forego their objections and vote
for the Republican nominee even if you
have to vote under protest. You are yot-
ing this iSIl not for the man Jared Warner
but for y. S. Senator and for re-district-
ing the State We Enow how Jared War
ner will vote OF these questions. We know
how Democrat would vote on the former
and we know how Democrats have voted
on the latter in Illinois. This vote is like
the vote for President. You do not vote
directly, but for persons who viii vote for
You. Suppose a number Of persons should

fuse to vote for him as Presidential Elec-
tor; whom would they spite9 or whom

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES can have no
reasonable hope Of receiving single elec-
toral vote in al the iree States. and Lincoln
expects no electoral vote from any shlve
State. Lincoln may not receive 50 many
votes in the south as Douglas Will receive
il the north, though the joint vote Of Lin
coin and ellin the south will doubtless ex-
coed the northern vote Of Douglas. Brock
inridge will receive scarcely any northern
votes, but will DOUBTLESS carry nearly every
s ~lhern State. Therefore every candidate
70 President is sectional candiflate--in
the ssnse that slavery and freedom are both
seetiss alinstitnions; but We deny that free
dom y sectional. Freedom is evidently de
signed by the constitution and government
to be national, and as Lincoln is the ony
candidate of any party advocating freedom,
he is the only national candidate and there
fore ought to receive 4 large vote in the
SLAVE States, because most OF the voters IN
the south are free men and ars Interested
in free labor, free speech, Tree schools, free
press, DC. Asmatters stand, all parties are
in effect, sectional, though Lincoln is the on
