The nominations for Congress- in this !
State haze now all been made except for the |
Fourth District. By the Union men, and for |
the Third District by the Democrats, and the |
probabilities Of m overwhelming Union |
victory largely increased thereby. Let me
briefly briefly refer to the nominations not before
In this (Second} District the convention of
Coppcrleads and brend.and. butterflies, most
Iy TIE former, hare put upon the course Dr.. |
Johu P. r. Rease Of fJancsrillc. He has been |
counted 4 Republican In times past, and WIS |
appointed Hast full BY tue Chairman Of the |
mcnt, member of the Union State Central |
Committee. A warm adnirer OF Senator |
Doolittlc, however, he has followed him in
his wandcrings from the true fold, and with
aspirations for some good Office went with |
he procured good slice In the shape Of the
,Janesrillc post Office for relative, and is
expected In return to spend his money, of
which he has considerable, IN promoting
my policy BY cansassfag this district, en-.
Congress aud to aid the election Of local
officer or member Of the Legislature here and
there. i soldier, General Bcrtram Of Wa
tcrtown, had been talked of as candidate,
and his steps turned from the line on

when the Convention met. Mr. Pease
is man Of fair ability rs lawyer, but Is no
orator; gentleman Of agreeable address
and some m:ans n livery nice man." but
with no experience in PUBLIC life beyond
nomination If By no means a strong one. 1t
clicits no hearty support from the old DEM
ocrats, who nrc not quite SO ready to reward
and trust descrters from the eneny's camp
as the Republicans hare shown themselves.
The other side, and Ills motives for
| coming over nre too patent to Induce them
| to 20 for him with any enthusiasm, even.
though lie Inns endorsed the revolutionary
| programme Of putting Southern Representa-
tivcs in Congressional seats by force If neces.
sary. The only point which 1t WIS expected
to make by the nomination was to draw
some votes In Rock County. from Republi-
cans, who might be supposed to feel q little
sore because Mr. Sloan WAS not notni-
mated, mud ready to vote for Mr..
Pease on local and personal grounds; but the
Republicans Of old Rock arc made Of stcrncr
stuff than that, mud promise to roll up one
Of their largest majorities for the regular
Union Republican candidate. They do not
propose to adopt Pease as staple article Of
Dict, any more than johnson bread and butt
ter. The resolutions adopted at the Cou-
yention have no particular point. They en-
dorse tic Philadelphia platform, johnson,
Randall, and Doollttlc, eoit soap the soldiers,
advocate revision Of the neutrality laws,
aud, strange to say, endorse national internal
improvements By asking g, an pp appropriation Tor
In the Fifth District the two candidates
pittcd against each other arc Hon. Ph'letus
Sawyer, rcnominatea by tho Union Repub-
lican Convention, and Morgan L. Martin, by
the Coppcrhcads. The former, sneerc1 at
two years a.o as nothing but a "common

OF Congress, not taking part in windy debate
but giving his yota aud influence on the right
side of all national questions, and carefully
looking aflcr the local Interests Of his consti-
tncnta. He is man Of excellent common
sense, sagacious Judgment Of men and
things, and has q happy faculty Of
making and keeping friends and
securing their support for measures in which
he is specially interested. An energetic and
successful business man, whole hearted and
acquaintance wita lis district and large per.
sonal popularity, true to the cause Of liberty
and the Union at all times, he Is sure of q
reelection by good majority with reason
ably active eauyass, which he will be sure t.
haye. On the other side, AFTER considerable
squirmins, Major Morgan L. Martin ol
