The attention Of the Republican electors

The attention of the Republican elector
of Kenosha County, is invited to the call
in this paper for county convention, to
choose delegates to the ensuing Congress
sional Convention It is hoped every
Union Republican, will at once bring
himself to the conclusion, that the cam
paign upon which we have entered means
aoork. 1t will not do to- be lulled into
security, because of the allcdged unpopu-
larity of the national nominations Of the
Democratic party: 1t matters not how
strong and conclusive the proof of Sey-
mour's disloyalty, or of BIairs identity
with the ex-rebels; these things render
them none the less acceptable to the great
mass of the Democratic party north, but
greatly enhance their popularity with the
unwashed rebels of the South. The origi-
nal secessionists, as well as all northern
Democrats, who were in sympathy with
the movement for a Southern Confederacy,
will work with a determination for Sey-
mour and Blair All democrats who gave
the war only nominal support through
the pressure of public opinion, will he
sure to maintain their adhesion to the
party, in the hope Of recovering its lost
ascendancy. Republicans should not cal
culate upon an easy victory, but enter up
on the contest with as much earnestness
as if the result hung upon the dellnquen-
cy of single vote Too much assurance
of success, tends to the relaxation of effort.
The election in Wisconsin, has been more
than once lost to the Republicans, because
of the over-conidence of the party in it's
strength, and the justice of its cause.
No intelligent Republican can look at
the attitudes of the two great political
parties of the day, without perceiving
that Democratic triumph in November
next, will be the virtual undoing of all
that has been gained by the war A large
portion of the Democratic party make no
concealment of the intent to sweep away
the Reconstruction acts of Congress
clare null the new State governments in
stituted by the people of the South, and
return as far as practicable to the CON
dition of affairs as they existed before the
war. The issue as presented tothe people
is whether all that has been achieved
since 1860-all the sacrifice of human life
and expenditure of treasure, shall go fo1
nothing-wasted in vain,or whether what
has been gained for humanity, shall be
maintained and reasserted at the ballot
box. We trust every intelligent voter
comprehends the situation,an will faith
fully discharge his duty to his country.

Thus far, there has been but little ex-
preston on the part of the press, in re-
spect to the candidate, for Congress in this
Congressional district SO far as any in
dIcations have appeared, public opinion
seems to point to Gen. H. E. Paine, as the
proper man for nomination and reelection
to the position he has so honorably filled.
Gen Paine signalized his devotion to the
country, through the terrible conflicts ofthe
war encountering its dangers and its perils.
and sharing in its successes and misfort-
unes. In 1854 the people of this Congress
lonal district, in consideration not alone
OF his military services, but of his distln-
guished ability as civilian, and of his
unquestionable integrity as man. elected
him to the Congress of the United States
So well and faithfully did he discharge
the duties devolving upon him, that in 1866
he was again elected to the same office
With such strict fidelity has he served the
country, and the people of his district bat
the public mind seems spontaneously to
turn to him again, as the proper man to
be nominated at the ensuing COMPRESSION
al convention. In these times of our polit-
zeal history, when great pressures are
brought to bear upon men in public
stations, and when there are occasional
departures from political rectitude, Gen.
Paine has never for a moment wavered in
duty, ors shaken the confidence of his friends
IN his political integrity. Congressional
life IN Washington, is full of temptations
and evil surroundings; these Gen. Paine
has nobly withstood, and now stands he.
lore his constituents tried and trust
worthy public servant.
1t Is true, there are many good and true
hepuhllcans in this Congressional district
men OF unquestionable talent and Quail
hcatlons for the high responsibility Of
member Of Congress, but So far as We M
aware, they concede to Gen. Paine the
position for still another term. With Cen
Paine we have triumphed, the numerical
odds politically on other elective officer
being against US, and with him for the
Congressional standard bearer, we can and
will triumph again.

Double Tragedy at Virginia CITY, Nevada.

Douple Tragedy at Virginia City, Nevada.
We are informed by an employee of
Wells Fargo 81 Co., who came down on
the train yesterday, that man known as
"Russian Pete" whose real name is Peter
Hill, stole at Silver City Saturday eve
ming a watch and sum of money, amount
ing in theaggregate to about $3.50 After
admitting The theft he went to Virginia
City. Deputy Sheriff Gregory was IL

Sunday afternoon, but his prisoner Subse-
quently escaped from him, and passing
through the city took refuge armed with
Il revolver in an old tunnel of the Chollar-
Potosi mine. Gregory followed and de-
handed that he should surrender The
fugitive answered that he was armed
nad twelve shots at his disposal-and
would not be taken alive. The officer re-
turned to the cityand informed the Sheriff
Mucahy OF the situation. A double bar

Texas Democracy.

A gentleman formerly of our acquaint-
ance, sends us a paper called the Paris
Press published in Texas The politics
of the paper are Democratic, and it is of
course for Seymour and Blair. 1t has an
article of two columns, attempting to en-
tighten its Texas readers, what sort of
people the northern Republicans are
Here is single specimen of Democratic
ignorance and vulgarity:
eve find that in localities where radi-
calism is in the ascendancy, open and I'M
disguised prostitution is advocated,and it
is taught from the pulpit, by some Of the
''trooly loil, " that marriage is a sin, and
an impeachment to the advance of "repub-
lican instl-too" -tions and national great
ness, and that white ladies are only lit for
.'bait" to catch the votes of negroes for
the party of great moral ideas" And
several petitions have actually been sent
to the Legislatures of some of the 'free
States, praying to abolish the "accursed
institution of marriage" And the people
advocating these netarious, infamous, and
DIABoLICAL doctrines, constitute large
majority of the republican party.
After a long list Of charges against the
Republican party similar to the above,
thc.same paper warns the people OF Texas
that if Republicans obtain full sway in
THE South, their wives and daughters will
be ruined and disgraced. Texas ladies
are adyisedto treat Republicans in the
following manner:
~ say, that it is your Indispensable and
imperative duty, and inevitable necessity
for your own protection, not to associate
with or countenance any individual, in
any respect whatever, who gives aid OF
support either directly or indirectly, tc
this Infamous, revolving, helloriginated,
woman disgracing spawn OF Satan, known
| by the name of radicalism 1t you are q
mother, permit no one to associate with
your sons or daughters, till you are abso
| lutely certain that the individual is not
| afflicted with this COMMUNICATING moral
| pesta6nce If you are a single lady, dc
not contract any matrimonial alliance
with, receive the attention of, or associate
with, any man, without you know him tC
| be committed against radicaiism. Slight
| him in the Church or the.ball-room, in the
parlor or the drawing room riding OF
walking sick or we'll, drunk or sober,and
if there is any other time, place or oppor-
tunity in which you can slight him,alway;
do so, and you will then be a great bene
factress to your race, than you could pos
sibly be in acting in any other manner
1t would be infinitely better to live maid
and die Miss than to associate or live
with man whose very presence would
contaminate the internal regions"
Such is the kind of Democracy, which
since the Democratic Convention in New
York has been warmed into new life
such is the southern element now allied
with the northern Democracy, in a de
termined effort to get the control of the
Government.
