Slightly Inconsisten

As we remarked last week, the Water
town Democrat endorses fully the Demo
cratic platform erected at the State Con-
vention which placed in nomination the
ticket it supports, headed by Ferguson for
Governor. One plank in that platform is
the following;
"Rcso7red, That we deprecate the spir-
1t manifested by all those people at the
North who seek to force the National Ad-
ministration to abandon the policy which
has been sanctioned by the Government of
the United States in the conduct Of the
war, and to substitute therefor the aboli-
ton Of slavery as its primary object, as at
variance with the very purpose for which
the war is prosecuted, and as Incompatible
with complete restoration of the Union
of these States
The Democrat last week, however, took
decided grounds in favor of the abolition of
slavery and declares that if the Govern
ment would bring the war to speedy
close 1t must corfseate every negro be-
longing to the rebels. The following is
its language:
Now slavery is their strength-it may
be made their weakness by confscating ev-
cry negro belonging to rebel, and it sho d
be done, and the purpose declared The
blow that paralyses that accursed system,
will palsy the heart of the rebellion and

He'dld's Dipatch.-The latest news
| Tonight is that the whole of Stones col
umn has crested the Potomac and is in
fnll pursuit Ct the enemy, and that Gen.
| Banks column had reached the banks Of
the river and would speedily follow and
support Stone. Information received late
to night from Gen. Stones command an
nounces that the fight was desperate ore
and that large numbers were killed on
both sides. Although the enemy was
much stronger than Gen Stone, he was
falling back before the advance of our
troops, and would undoubtedly been to-
tally routed but for the fall OF Col Baker,
which produced a sudden confusion aa,ono
our troops.
Gen. Gustavus ". Smith commanded
the rebels and a private despatch asserts
he was shot from his horse and carried off
the field
Gen Banks with his column is now sun
porting Gen. Stone, and being a Major
General is in full command.
Gen Mcclellan left for Gen. Banks
headquarters in the field this morning
1t is subject of regret that Gen. Baker
should have engaged the enemy, when, ac-
cording to report, he was ordered to make
a reconnaissance only, with strict instruc-
items if attacked to fall back and not fight.
Gen Baker made his will On Saturday
last, and deposited it with Col. Webb
When be let be said to the latter. Il
shall participate in battle in IS hours.

my body.

The Republican County Cow 3nt!oD

This body met at Jefferson last Satur-
day and placed in nomination j. P. Nc
Lauthlin, Esq, of Fort Atkinson, for Coun-
ty Superintendent Of Schools. and Aaron
B. Smith, Esq, Of Lake Mills. for County
Supervisor at large, The Convention was
very harmonious in all its proceedings and
all the delegates present seemed to be ac-
tuated by but one motive which was to
act for the best interests of the people
Without any regard to party politics AZ
ter discussing the matter pro and con the
convention did not deem it advisable to
nominate the Supervisors for the respect
i've districts, choosing rather to let each
district select its ewn man. In this we
think the convention acted wisely. The
delegates from one district ought not to
ask the privilege of naming the candidate
for some other district and in this view
all the delegates seemed to csincide.
Of the nominees that it did present we
have only to say, that they are both good
men and well qualified for the positions
to which 1t is proposed to elect them. Mr..
McLauthlin, though now lawyer by PRO-
fesslon, has spent number Of years in
teaching and is graduate of Andover
College, where he became fitted fer that
occupation, which be followed for some
time, but finally abandoned, on account
of declining health. He has been Town
Superintendent of Schools in Koshkonong
two or three years, We believe, and gener-
ally elected without any opposition. He
is entirely familiar with the routine of a
teachers life, understands exactly the
qualifications that teacher must possess
to be successful, and being practical man
OF considerable experience in that bust
ness, is admirably fitted for County Super
intendcnt, We are sure that in his hands
