| COUNTY CoNyENTIoN-W call the atten
ton OF our friends throughout the county
to the Call for a Union County Convention
to be held in this city on Saturday the 2c
day, of September next for the purpose Of
electing four delegates to the State Conven.
ton, to be held at Madison, on the 9th Of
September next. We hope each town and
Ward Committee will see that the proper
steps are taken in time to have full dele
cation present at the Convention
Much has been said and written by the
opposition of certain Madison Regency OF
central junto Of politicians supposed to live
| at the capital, who order all POLITICAL mat
ters of the State to suit themselves. Even
some good, honest Republicans have come
to believe in, and fear this fancied regency
All that the people have to do, who believe
in this bugbear, is to attend these primary
caucuses and conventions, and choose dele
gates from among themselves, in whom
they b ave perfect confidence and whom
| they can trust to carry out their views and
wishes, instead of the wishes of any Madi
son Regency.
In reference to Madison Regency oul
belief is, that it is more the creature of i'm.
agination than of reality. We believe that
our democratic friends would be glad to
create suspicious, distrust and division in
the Republican party, and if they can make
the people believe that they are ruled, ca
joled or controlled in their political action
by clique of corrupt politicians. they will
have done much towards effecting such
| distraction and division. We beIive demo-
cratic editors and politicians in thus harp
ing on a pretended Madison regency are
trying to deceive themselves as well as 9TH
ers They do not like to believe that a
large majority of the people are honestly,
and from enlightened and patriotic motives,
opposed to them, and so they try to believe
and make others believe that the people are
governed by a Madison Regency of politi-

democratic politicians and editors put too low
an estimate upon the Intelligence and pa
triotism of the great majority of voters or
in other words-the people. Their appeals
are always tie the passions and prejudlces,
rather than to the understandings and com
mon sense of those they would influence
Such appeals may do a certain class of dem
ocratic voters, but fail as they should, with
the great majority of intelligent and well
citizens. The people, if they have
self reliance and intelligence, and energy
to take the matter into their own hands,
need have no fear of Regencies or Cliques
RETURN OF THE 33d.-The Madison Jour-
nat of Saturday last says; The Thirty-third
Wisconsin Regiment, under command of
Lieut. Col. Virgin, and numbering about
400 men, arrived in Madison Yesterday
afternoon, by way of Freeport and Beloit. !
They were given an excellant meal at the
railroad House, and marched to the CAPT
toi Park amid the ringing Of bells and firing
Oh cannon, where they were formally reciey-
co. speeches being made on the part of
the otate by Cen Augustus Gaylord, and
Gen. Luclus FaiIchild, and on behalf of
the citizens OF Madison, by Mayor Keyes
