The more prominent candidates arc
well known To the people, rs radical
democrats-men Whose sympathy is not
with tile administration in carrying on
this war-but on TIE contrary, are what
is known as "Peace Democrats"
Mr.. PALMER the nominee for Govern
or, has long desired this promineuce.--
He has labored with industry for yelrs,
to become prominent as header of his
party. In ability, he is wonderfully
oyer-rated man. lie is fluent speaker
dealing in generalities, and presenting
a most sanctimOnious cOuntenance on all
occa.ions-and is taken by MANY who
know him not, to be a mild, sincere man,
free from the ordinary bitternesses Of
a parIizan. Bat those who take him to
be a liberal man, free from partizin BIT
terness, are most egregiousiy mistaken.
Gall and wcrmvood form an important
element in his character \ more thor
ough demagogue can scarcely be found
in tn, State. His plausible manner is
calculated to deceive strangers, AMI rem
ders him somewhat Formidable till he is
known. He is toleraGe manager, and
his friends hope that he will make Il
strong rrn. In his positions, he has not
the boldnes Of Ryan and Clark, in the
expression Of lis sentiments but he IS
no less radical in his notions than either
of these men. But the party nov has
become thoroughly radicaI-Ryan's Al
dress is his platform-and PALMER en-
dorses most emphatjca'ly, every Word
aud every letter of that Address. Tho
sentiments of RYAN, are now the senti-
ments Of the party in the State.
Mr.. DEWEY, the candidate for Lieut..
Governor, is well known to the State
He is not an able man, nor man who
possesses any special popularity. He is
most ultra Democrat. He was Presi-
dent of the Convention that nominated
CoTHREN for Chief Justic, and warmly
urged his nomination. He also, in the
late Convention, voted for the nomination
of SAT. CLARK, for bank Comptroller;
and is understood to be in full sympathy
with Mr. CLERK, in all lis riews. His
nomination is not stiong one; but he is
a good representative of the Copperhead
Democracy Of the State.
We have not time to-day to mention
particularly each candidate upon the tick
ct. We sltdll have occasion hereafter to
alude to them. They are fair men in
point Of ability, snd represent most fully
the leading principles Of the Peacs De-
mocracy of the col:ntIy. They are not
such men as the peoPe Of Wisconsin
want in office at this time, when the
country is susifering from war with reb-
els. More earnest men-men who be-
lieve in fighting rebels till they lay down
their arms, are row neeied. Such men
will be presntei at the Convention to be
held Oil the 10Th of the present month;
and the ticket that vii! thon be present.
ed, will contain the names Of the next
! Stlte officers of Wisconsin.
