Our Congressional Convention.

1t was our good fortune to be present
and witness, and participate in the pro,
ceedings Of the Congressional Convention
in The city Of Oshkosh, on the 15.h inst,
That was the most important conven-
ton held in this District for she nomina-
tion Of a candidate for congressional hon
ors. It's members met together as the
representatives Of that portion Of the peo
pie, who love and revere the UsroN and
Constitution, and respect the laws enact
ed under and in pursuance thereof, and
have sworn that SO far as in their power.
the same shall be preserved and enforced
at all hazards, bu. while preferring peace
10 war, are determined to discharge the
duties they owe TO themselves, their coun-
try aud to mankind throughout the civilI-
zed world, and aid in putting an end to
the calamiies and horrors Of devastating
civil war, and securing tne blessings of a
permanent peace on the basis Of the
UEion.
The members Of that convention we're
animated by one spirit of devotion to the
interests Of the whole country, unmarried
by petty sectional jealousies or hates, and
each had fixed purpose to vote for the
nomination of The man who would render
the most efficient aid in securing to our
country the glorious results of an honor
able and lasting peace.
Tho tho members from this part Of the
district felt that the nominee was due to
tie Lake Shore Counties, and they cast
their votes for the worthy and patriotic
Villas, as their first choice, yet they bad
not canvsssed for this nomination, and did
rot push it with pertinacity, as their fay-
orite was a gentleman not well known as .
candidate for the position in other por-
tons Of the District, in which the senti
ment Of the people had settled down into
the conviction that Col. GABRIEL BoucK
was the man for the times ,ha. try men s
souls.
Tie action of tie Convention was har>
monious, and the result of that action was
greeted by lis members and the numerous
crowd in attendance with the most enthu-
siastic applause,
Our candidate is known throughout the
District and State, as being in every res
pect worthy the office for which he is
placed in nomination, and to which he
will be most triumphanty elected in No
yember next
Col. BoUcK in the civil and military
offices which be has been called upon to
fill, has disc charged bis duties faithfully
and well, and to the credit of himself and
the honor Of his constituents and the cause
OF his country.
Ia his military career he has met every
emergency as became patriotic ard
brave man, and in the halls of Congress,
wi! lend his powerful aid to those meas
ures that will render the victories which
he has helped to achieve in the field
fruitful Of good to he country, in a restor
ed Mon and an honorable and permanent
peace on the basis of that Union.

This position has been declared in the
most solemn manner. Whether his ad-

Particulars are given of the raid of the

1t was daring affair and from its daring
nature met with a measure of success,
which one less impudent would have fail

news that 5000 rebels and seyeralsguns
