MOSES OPINION OF PIERCE COUNTY.
There are great many very good pco.
pie, who think that but little practical
instruction is to be gathered from the
books of Moses in the Old Testament, -
This is mistake. Just look for instance
at that paragraph in Deuteronomy, chap.
XI, verses 10, II, IL. How beautifully
is there portrayed the contrast between
the grudging soil and sterile hills of the
East, and the rich abundance of this fer
tile St. Croix Valley. Imagine a farmer
on bis way from some Hardscrsbble in
the East to Pierce Co., and as he misses
train somewhere. and is delayed for
half day, he takes out his Bible, and
how comforting to read the following:
10. For the land whittier thou goest in 10
possess it, is not as the land from whence We
came out. where thou sowedst thy seed, and
wateredst it With thy foot. as garden of
herbs
IL. But the land whittier We go 10 possess
IT, is land of lis and valleys, and drinketh
water of the rain ofheaven
10. A land which the Lord thy God carcth
for the eyes of the Lord thy God are always
upon it, ffom the beginning OF the year even
unto the end of the year.
Gould description be mora beautiful
and terse. What an exact aud truthful
picture of Pierce County is conveyed in
the last two verses. If they do not ex-
eel OLIVER GIBBS "Review of Pierce
Co., "and if they do not, at least secondar-
lily, refer directly to it, then we are no
judge of the English language, and can,
not be considered a safe commentator on
Old Testament Scriptures.

THE PHILADELPHIA MEETING.

As far as numbers are concerned, the Phil
adelphia Succotash Convention seems to have
been a success.
The Convention was called to order by Gov
Randall, Gen. John A. Dix was chosen tenn
porary Chairman. and Senator Doolittle the
permanent President of the Convention. A
declaration of principles was adopted in which
many sweet phrases were wrapped around
very bitter pill lengthy address was read
by Mr.. Ra ymond, one paragraph of which
was most enthusiastically cheered. and read
again, which paragraph asserted in substance
that unless the late rebels were Immediately
admitted to Congress TO govern the men who
whipped them. they would be towards and
sneaks if they did not get up another rebel
lion there Were great cheers for the Presi-
communion meeting. Randall, Doolittle and
Raymond run it just as a local politician does
a country caucus. The delegates were not al
lowed TO speak out in meeting. They were
told to sit still and be quiet-the success of
the play depended upon their silence. and so
they kept as whist as a bound Boy at hus-
king. The star actors performed their parts,
the curtain fell, the orchestra packed up their
instruments, the audience dispersed, and the
johnson Varieties" was over.
This Convention doubtless combined more
intellectual ability with less political infu-
ence than any National Convention which ev-
er assembled in this country. Many of its
members ale able and well known men, but
the fact is they are like a group of field off,
GERS without aRy command-very snowy and
imposing to look upon, but not worth what
their rank would indicate in fight where
numbers count.
Look at Wisconsin for instance. She was
represented by the two leading spirits of the
Convention. Randall and 0oolittle, yet the
detection of these two eminent, able men has
made no more of a gap in the ranks Of the
Republican Union party in this State than a
single discharge of Potatoe pop-gun would
in the ranks of the Old Iron Brigade. 1t is
no easy matter to successfully form new po-
litical combinations. The people nowadays
receive their opinions in original packages ia
stead of from retail dealers. and neither Presi-
de-t nor politicians can blind them to the
issues at stake, nor swerve them from their
purpose that the Government shall be kept in
the hands Of IFS friends, and not delivered over
helpless to IFS enemies.
The Convention is over. 1t represented no
party-it organized none. The men engaged
in it will mainly go with the Democratic par
ty, the late rebels will renew their alliance
with the same party. and that party will go
on struggling vAinly for power, while the
great Republican Union party viii continue
to rule the country in the interest Of National
security and substantial justice to all men.

LETTER FROM HON. w. D.
McINDOE.
Ia CROSSE, Wis, Aug. 4, 1866.
Tc the Electors Of the Sizth Congress

la CROSSE, WIS, Aug. 4, 1866.
T'c the Electors Of the Sirth Congress
sional District Of Wisconsin,.
After nearly four years of Congress,
sional service, as the Representative of
the people of the Sixth District of Wis
consin, who have honored me with their
confidence and support, / cannot be in
different as to the choice of my successor
il Congress, aud the principles of The
great Republican Union party, With
which it has been my pleasure to be 50
intimately identified. The pressure of
public duties and private business, with
impaired health, have deprived me of
the privilege of answering, at length
many letters from esteemed correspond
ents, with whom l would gladly confer
upon questions of general Interest,"
Awaiting myself of this favorable oppor-
tunity, when my private business inter
ests compel me to decline denomination,
and when rest and returning health enable
me to miugle again with my fellow citi-
gems in this patriotic District of Wiscon-
sin, can cheerfully render an account
of my stewardship, and would earnestly
hope that my devoted constituents will
s,eadfastIy adhere to the same Just and
liberal policy, which they have hitherto
supported, aud stand By the faithful ma
iority of the peoples Senators aud Re-
representatives. in Congress.
The call for the approaching Republi-
can Union District Convention leaves no
room for solicitude as to the action of
the delegates on that occasion; and it is
to be hoped the people will confirm the
nomination of any true man who may be
pledged to the policy indicated in that
call By an unprecedently large majority.
Without wasting time in debate, have
aimed TO cast the vote of the sixth Con
gressional District of Wisconsin, en- all
occasions, for such measures as were
deemed most conducive TO the safety and
perpetuity of the whole government of
the Republic, and in favor Of every meas
ure that had tendency to promote jus.
tice, liberty and prosperity, upon a per-
manent basis, among all classes Of PEG
pie. And in regard to the future dele
cations of Wisconsin in Congress, and the
line of policy they may be expected to
pursue, | would say that the same Re
publican Union Party that has rescued
the Republic from traitors and enemies
In arms, should be trusted with the task
of completing the work of restoring the
Union upon basis that is approved by
patriotic freemen and their Representa-
tives in the National Legislature, insted
of the doubtful and uncertain plan
which ELECTS the appreciation of disloyal
men. who did their utmost 10 overthrow
the liberal system of government, which
was administered in the spirit of kindness
and fairness by the Martyr President,
Abraham Lincoln, whose death lamented
by all except those who are now arrayed
against the measures adopted and pre-
scribed by Congress.
Sincerely hoping that the electors Of
the Sixth Congressional District of Wis
consin may continue to uphold the cause
! Of Freedom and Equity in the National
