Col. Cobb fer Congress.

As was generally anticipated, the Con
gressional Convention at Boscobel, last
Wednesday, presented the name of Col
AMAsA CoBB, of this city, to the voters of
this district as a candidate for reelection
TO Congress. it is useless for us to enter
into an extended detail of the merits of
Col Cobb; he is personally known to o
very large proportion of our citizens, and
is every where regarded as one of the
ablest, if not the ablest man for the posi-
ton to be found in the seven counties
COMPRISING the 81 Congressional District
of Wisconsin. He is our present repre-
sentative and his past record as an atten-
tive and diligent prosecutor OF the inter
ests Of his constituency, and as fif1n and
unflinching supporter Of the government
is sufficient guarantee for his action IN
the future.
Col Cobb was present at the convention,
and being called upon, accepted the nom
ination in few eloquent and appreciate
remarks, briefly reviewing his past con
gressional career, and pledging himself to
stand by ii in the future. Speaking ofhis
military position, he said that in the con-
dition of affairs at the time the Colonelcy
of the 49, regiment was offered him, altho'
he was appointed without any previous
knowledge of that intention, he did not
feel at liberty to decline it, but felt bound
to give his influence and exert all his
power in raising men under the last call
Of the President 1t was his intention to
so into the field with his regiment, but he
would not receive pay as Colonel while he
was member Of Congress
There is no doubt Of Col CobJ's re
election, and that BY a largely Increased
majority

The Chicago Piatform---W hat ii Means.

Rcsolgsd, that II, tie future as il tie past,
we will adhere with answering fideHtyt to the
Union.n
'ln the future as in the past; which
has been TO uphold the SOU tn in their at
tempt to destroy the government, denying
the right of that government to coerce"
q state, though in actual rebellion. In the
future as in the past, they will discourage
enlistments, do all in their power to pre-
vent the arming, equipping, or paying our
soldiers in the field, and get up riots to
oppose the draft in order to keep NO the
spirits of the rebels in arms against the
government.
.'Resolred, that the aim and object Of the
democratic party is to preserve the federal
Union and he rights ~ The States, UNIMPAIRED."
This means, if we can understand the
language, that slavery shall be re estab-
lished, recognized and perpetuated. "The
rights Of States to secede and inaugurate
war whenever the democratic party is
defeated at the polls must be acknowl-
edged, and the right of the south to rule
preserved. Their right to occupy our
forts and steal our arms must be main
tanned unimpaired.
''Resolycd, that the sympathics Of the de-
mocracy are heartily and earnestly extended
10 the soldiers Of our army"
All Buncombe and humbug. The true
meaning IS simply this Soldiers an elec-
ton is at hand and we want your votes.
After often asserting that the soldiers in
arms are hired murderers, "minions of
the tyrant Lincoln fighting against the
liberties of the people and for the des-
truction of the constitution of our coun-
try-nfter doing all in thoir power to pre-
vent our soldiers from enjoying the privi-
iege Of voting for our rulers, the democ-
r.cy now comes up with cool impudencs
and extend to The soldiers their sympa-
thes, with the hopo Of getting their votes.
Vain hope
The remaining plank Of the platform,
threatening rebellion if the democratic
party is beaten ct the polls this fall, is too
reasonable to escape the attention of any
man Of half common sense. BY this threat
they hope 10 inimidate. and keep voters
from the polls, and it is even talked among
the faithful of declaring Mcclellan dicta-
.or if he is beaten al the ballot box, and
causing general war in the north TO sup
port his claims
Here our readers have the substance
and meaning Of the democratic platform,
and we trust they viii scan it thoroughly
and decide if they can vo,e for the candi-
dates of any such party.
