The Late Editor Of the Tribune on

In q private letter, Hon. Geo. W.
Bliss, for 50 many years editor of
this paper, thus refers to the two
candidates for Governor Of Wiscon-
sin:
So THE Mounting Bird" has found his
level, and proves to be only a .Nouaag
Owk Poor Doolttle; to what extreme
folly has his ambition led him. once
thought him a man of some stability and
character, but certainly he does not show
it, And the Democracy Of Wisconsin
how fallen Once claiming to he the
party of principal, now ready to do any
thing that promises the least show for
success in securing Office surely, they
must DO starved indeed But their time
has not yet come The Republican,
have made wise selection in the cand ,
date for Governor, and Cadwullader c
Washhufn will ho trjumphauty elected
and of him the Badger State may justly
be proud,
Yours, &c,

following letter, written before Gen.
Washburn was known to be can

hope that the bill giving soldiers
privileges over Others in securing
