myself to be regarded as friend in the es-

The Canvass for Congress.
The contest for seats in Congress for the
several districts of Wisconsin,, is beginning
to attract considerable attention. As the
election comes off in little more than three
months from the present time, and as the
canvass will be one of the sharpest that has
occurred i'll many years, it is not to be WON
dered at til at the public attention is directed
to the leading candidates, and more or less
discussion already evoked from the press
throughout the st ate.
In the First District, the present member,
Gen. Halbert E. Paine, seems to be fixed
upon by sort of common consent of all
Republicans, as the most proper standard
bearer in the approaching canvass, provided
he will consent to act in that capacity. 1t
has been feared that the irksomeness of his
congressional duties, particularly to Grip
pie Git will be remembered that Gen. Paine
lost leg at Port Hudson) and to one who
SO scrupulously devotes himself to all the de-
tails of the congressional business, devolved
upon him-that this, with other consdera-
tions which need not now be named, would
deter Gen. Paine from entering upon anoth-
er canvass for the seat he now occupies. s.
We are able to say, however, that should
the Union voters of the district demand it,
the General will consent to the use of his
name for reelection in which case tn e
game of the democracy i'll this district is a
failure from the outset This game consists
in the nomination of either James S. Brown,
Henry L. Palmer, Jackson Hadley or G. L.
Sholes, all of whom are ambitious in this
direction. The chances are just now in ia
vor of the first named, whom the unterrified
have come to regard as their only hope in this
district No convention has been called as vet.
The Republican district committee consists
of Fl. l.. Ram, Of Whitewater, G. G. Sholes,
of Kenosha, t. B. Morris. of Racine, S. S.
Daggett, of Milwaukee and E. NJ. Danforth,
of Waukesha. A call should and doubtless
will be issued soon.
In the Second district, there are plenty Of
candidates on the Republican side, principal
among whom are Hon. |. G. Sloan, the pres
ent member and Hon b. f. Hopkins, of
Madison. The latter has long been under
stood to be candidate for the honor, and
the former has lately consented to the use
of his name We also have heard the names
of Hon. S. D. Hastings, late State Treasu-
rer, Hon. Jonathan Bowman, of Columbia,
County, and j. ]. Enos, Esq, of Jefferson,
mentioned by the friends of those
gentlemen.
In the Third district, Col. Cobb, who has
term, will encounter no effective opposition,
either in convention or before the people.
In the fourth, Mr.. Eldridge, the great OBJ
jector, has, it is supposed tolerable clear
way before him, at least to nomination,
though John E. Mann, of Washington coun-
ty has been promised something of the kind
from his democratic friends, and his county,
the stronghold of unadulterated democracy is
certainly entitled to some considerations
Gen. G. S. Hamilton is talked of for the re.
publican candidate and will lead the fill
clustering member close chase A copper
head convention for August 7th has been
called at Fond du Lac.
In the Fifth, Hon. PhiIetus Sawyer, now
on his second term in Congress, will proba-
bly, be renominated. He is an able, practical
man and an uncompromisiug Republican.
His course in Congress has been highly sat-
isfactory to his constituents. He will be
opposed, on the copperhead side by either
DR.. Pease, Of Marquette county, or A. j.
Abrams, of Green Bay, both out-and-out
democrats.
In the Sixth, the name of Gen. G. G.
Washburne begins to loom up prominently,
and his friends will present his name to the
convention with the strong expectation of
its acceptance The other most prominent
name mentioned is that of Hon. Angus
Cameron, who like Gen. Washburne, halls
from Lacrosse. Hon. VIM. Il. Price of Jack
son Co. is also named. The democrats have
no really strong man to bring out in oppo-
sition to these, but are using that of Gen.
Montgomery, who ran for Lieutenant Gov
ernor upon the Copperhead ticket last Fall.
The Republican convention in this district
has already been called.-MjL. Sentinel. :
