Pennsylvania.

Tie great fields of political contest to
which the people are now looking within
tense interest are Pennsylvania and OHIO
Both parties are struggling with vigor and
unwonted determination to secure a polit-
ical triumph in each i'll the October cleo
tions, as bearing most directly and efcc-
tually on the approaching Presidential
election. That the result will have some
effect on that election, we cannot deny !;
but not necessarily; for those States might
give the Radicals triumph in the Octo-
Der elections-which, however, we do not
belicvc-.and yet go for Seymour and
Blair in the November election There
are, frequently, local issues and State
questions in State elections which may
produce results contrary to those where
strict party lines are drawn and strict
party issues presented, as in the case of a
Congressional or Presidential election
The New York World thus alludes to one
of the great States named:
PENNSYLVANIA.
To this State the eyes of the country
are now turned. Each party claims it for
itself, and both are struggling desperately
to make good it's claim. Pennsylvania,
once Democratic State, for many years
has been carried by the Republicans by
large majoritics. Last year the Demo
Gratis made vigorous fight under the
guidance of most efficient Executive
Committee. The result was the election
of the Democratic candidate for Justice of
the Supreme Court by 927 majority, the
total vote of the State being G2,795 less
than that of the previous year. Now
comes the question, which party will Sc
cure next month Il majority of these near
ly seventy thousand votes? But there
are other questions to be decided by the
canvass which are of more Importance
than the choice of State officers; they are
the election of representatives in Congress

WITH SUPPLEMENT.
WnO is TO BE OUR NEXT CANDIDATE
FOR lOSGRESSi

We heartily endorse the following ar
ticle from the Waupaca Criterion. Up
to the present time we have not heard
the faintest wish or suggestion from any
Of the newspapers of the 5th. District
in regard to our next Congressional nomi-
nation, yet we know that many inhuen-
tial parties in the District claim that
Sawyer has already been agreed upon
as the candidate, and that he had con-
sented to be such. Whether this be
true or not, it is time now that this mo-
mentous matter should be discussed by
the press, and something of the real
sentiments of the District made known.
We do not consider the 5th District a
doubtful one by any means, yet we are
willing and anxious to put our best and
strongest man forward for the place, to
make assurance doubly sure And can
thereb adoubtas to who that mans? We
are convinced and candid. enough to say
that it is Philetus Sawyer. The Democ-
racy of the District acknowledge that
with Sawyeras the candidate there would
not be a shadow of hope for them.
There is another important item con-
nected with this matter. IF the Repub-
licans nominate popular men as candi-
dates for County officers and Congress
through the State this fall it will add
volumes of strength to our Presidential
ticket, and if the opposite line of policy
is followed and weak men put up, we will
be as materially weakened. With strong
men or the Republican banners IN Wis
consin for Congress we have dead. sure
thing, and 10000 majority for Grant and
ColGax With unpopular candidates the
hardest kind Of work will be required to
carry the State by half that majority.
Mr. Sawyer has had four years expe-
rience in Congress, during which time he
has gained considerable influence at
Washington, and can probably accom-
plish more than any other member of
the delegation from this State. Besides
being one Of the staunchest radicals he
is one of the hardest workers in Congress
For local business, such as river and har-
Dor improvements, &C.. he is the best
man we can send there, as for the politi-
cal clap-trap that can be attended to by
others
We want a Worker there, and let 1t be
the energetic aud no let up Sawyer

! An enthusiastic admirer of our State
Capital, sends US the following highly
colored picture:
Madison, located in the southern part
OF this state, is truly beautiful city. 1t
is surrounded by four silvery shining
lakes faithful mirrors of the ever varia
bic heavens. The streets are lined with
trees that in the flush prime Of summer
are garmented with lavish leafiness. In
deed it seems almost like city in for
est. The Capital is very fine building
situated in the centre of a large park,
shaded by lofty trees, and the delicious
notes of the birds are heard through the
''mazes of concerted song" Among the
most notable institutions are the Or
phans Home-a large and handsome
building-the Insane Asylum, and in
very commanding situation. the State
University. There are also many very
fine residences. The inhabitants are
very social and intelligent aud every
stranger is sure to meet with welcome
reception There seems to be a charac-
tcristic atmosphere of light and genial
tv' in the city. The State Journal pub
lished in Madison is high toned sub
stantial paper, and I can not say any
more in its prais, than to say 1t = rap
Idly increasing In circulation.
The scenery round about Madison is
sublime. On one OCCASION L took a ride
in the country with some friends. It was
a lovely morning, the sky was serene and
beautiful Not cloud was to be seen.
Never did the glorious sun shine upon
more "exuberant and vernal YER
dure," than that which adorned that
lovely morning in September After
riding a few miles we drove from the
roadside to an eminence Of ground. We
could see the city with its bright lakes
the glorious sunshine sparkling diamonds
upon their surface skirted by woodlands
and rolling lanScapes, forming III their
combination as sweeta picture.as we could
wish to see. | was entranced; labor
care and trihes all vanished while slowly
with subduiug power pure thoughts crept
into my heart and earth 5 stormy passions
for a time were forgotten,

Another time | was gliding smoothly
over one of the lakes in light row boat
with two or three others when one OF my
companions suddenly said look at the
Heavens We turned and gazed upwards
The sky was vividly painted with gorge

loveliness stole upon our hearts with awe
and alteration. The bright scene faded,

never to be forgotten, of the omnipotence
aud glory of Him who governs the
world.
How marvellous the transformation Of

was sublime in the Summer, it was grand
in the Winter. When the lakes were like

sEEiYS TEEE.

The local OF the Fond du Lac Conn
monwealh writes as follows: During the
late little 'onpleasantness' we had the
misfortune to spend fourteen months and
twenty days in rebel prisons. This time
was divided between Bell Island, Rich
mond City, Danville, Va, Anderson
vile, Charleston and Florence, South
Carolina On the day that the loyal
North triumphantly elected Lincoln to
his second term we were at Florence.
As election day drew near the rebels who
had charge OF the prison expressed de-
sire to see how the prisoners would vote,
and ashcu the election day came they
suspended bag on the dead line for
ballot box and announced that all who
wished to vote could do so. A dish of
white beans was furnished for Mcclellan
ballots and dish Of black beans for
Linceln ballots The rebels assembled
about the entrance to the stockade IN
large numbers to witness the voting, not
one Of them eoncealing the fact that they
strongly favored the election of Mcclellan.
Comparatively few Of the prisoners were
physically able to walk to the ballot box,
and only about eighteen hundred man
aged to walk or crawl up and deposit
their ballot. At sundown the beans, or
ballots, were counted, and of the eighteen
hundred cast Lincoln received thirteen
hundred The rebels did not attempt to
hide their disgust at the result. Before
the voting they did not doubt that the
prisoners would vote almost solidly for
Mcclellan, on the ground that if he was
elected a compromise would be entered
into and they would be released from a
prison that was but few steps removed
from death But they had greatly mis-
taken the feeling of the camp, and more
chop fallen lot of rebels we never saw.
The hearts of those emaciated, discour
aged, sick and dying soldiers still beat III
unison with the great heart Of the loyal
north, and nothing short of death itself
could stop it. With these facts before
him let no man ask "how viii the soldiers
yotc?' Let the Democrats bring on
their Pendletons, their Seymours, their
! Hancocks. ortheir ambitious Chase, the
soldiers will ever be found true to the
principles for which they fought and suf-
| fered hardships which no tongue or pen
! can describe. Always true, the soldiers
were never more so than now. They
| give bullets not ballots, to the rebels and
| rebel sympathizers. They give their
| ballots to such men as Grant and ColtaX.

General Amnesty.

The great impeached-tried-and found
guilty president has gone and done it.
That is, he thinks he has He thinks he
has released rebels from the political dis
abilities brought upon them by their trea-
son to the government, but he has proba-
bIy fooled himself. The idea that he can
enfranchise a large class of people whom
the representatives of the people say nave
no right to exercise that privilege, Will
probably prove similar to many other
ideas originating in the same source. Al

Office in spite of the wishes of the people
