Two RIVERS, Sept. 10Th, 1870
Editor Piiot:
There has been at last little stir in the
political world hcreabou II. II. Smith
turned last week from Oshkosh, after assist
ing in the nomination of 2. Sawyer for his
fourth term in Congress from the Fifth Con-
gressional District The deacon reports that
the utmost harmony prevailed in the Conven-
ton, the delegates all being in favor Of the
denomination from the start, without any
fixing up This speaks well for Mr.. Saw
yer, and considering his conservatism, his
candidacy will not be Objectionable, even to
Democrats, particularly ON the lake shore,
where We have so many evidences of his good
district. do not mean that we are not bound
to oppose him. but simply that it is source Of
satisfaction that where the odds appear to be
somewhat in favor Of our opponents they
should select the candidate whose acts in Con-
gress have met so much the approval of all
parties:
The Convention to select the delegates to
Oshkosh for the 21st met here last Saturday.
Three good and true Democrats were elected
10 represent this Assembly District in Congress
sional Convention, and l doubt not just as
good man as Mr.. Sawyer--if not better
one-will be placed on the track. \ singu-
lar if not significant feature of the District
Convention was that the delegates asked but
were refused instructions as to whom they
should support Quite number Of oandi-
dates for county nominations were in attend
Lance and made our quiet little burgh look
rather lively for the time being.
On one point there is great unanimity
among Democrvts all over the county and
that is a determination to prevent all extrane-
Gus infuenccs-railroad matters as we'll as
others from entering into snd embarrassing
the fall canvass. This, it seems to me, is the
true policy. How difference of opinion on
the subject Of railroads for Manitowoc county,
or as to the best plan to secure them. can eff
feet political sentiments it is hard to discover.
Let us rather have q good, square stand up
and fight between the political parties, and
let the result show which Of these parties has
the most acceptable politics in the estimation
OF the voters of the county The railroad
propositions have been voted upon. The
election that is to come involves an entirely
different Issue. There is no connection
whatever between the two. Any attempt 10
unite them will be forced, far fetched and for
effect. Let no Democrats be fooled by any
such attempt. 1t is already the open boast of
Republicans that they have all the money.
Let them not have the county Offices of Mani
towoc county on which to levy more of their
assessments fer money to rry elections.
Nature here, as well as elsewhere, begins
to show signs Of failing into the seer and
yellow Leaf Even now the tokens that
bright Italian skies that constitute the
charm Of our climate during the early part of
autumn will ere long be swept before the
wintry blast, are multiplying the ever
changing hue. of tree, shrub and plant"
The season, however, has been fruitful one,
and there is an indescribabe dread-nought
air about the husbandman that speaks so elo-
fuently Of well-flled grainery and plcthoric
ptrse that even your correspondent feels some
little assurance, in a reflected degree, Of being
able "a survive the rigors of coming winter.
So mote it be-
SwI FLUss.
