1t is known that when Wisconsin
was admitted a one Of the States
in the Union in 1919, it was under
Democratic rule. That party was
largely in the majority and had
every thing in ita own way. In the
fall Of lS+S the Free Soil party eN-
hibited, under the lead of Van Bu-
rem, considerable strength. At one
time during the campaign of that
year. the friends of this new move
ment were quite confident OF carry
ing the State bat the result proved
their mistake, and the old Iiunker
or Cass party triumphed III Miscon-
sin. The acccssious TO the Free
Soil party of that year, from the old
Democratic ranks, principally went
back to their old friends III the next
campaign still the Free Soil or
ayti-slavery movement WAS not
quirtcd. The subject was strongly
agitated and the South became al
armed. The two great parties OF
the couutry-W hig and Democratic
were also alarmed. The Wing
party had always inclined to anti
slavery principles, while the Demo
cratic party yielded entire subsery-

THE CHIEF JJsT,CEsEET.

The U. S. Senate failing to con
firm the nomination of Attorne!
General Williams as Chief Justice
the President last Friday sent in the
name of ZION. Caleb Gushing for the
important place. The nomination
evidently took everybody by sur
prise, and nobody more so than the
nominee himself, who was prepar-
ing to depa-'t for Madrid, as Minis
ter; to which position he had been
but few days previously appointed
That objections are raised to Mr..
Cushing's appointment is not sur
prising, for among forty millions OF
people directors would be found to
the appointment Of any man. Thus
far buttwo grounds of objections are
given: the first being that Mr.. Crsh-
Ing is too Odd years and the
second that he is n Democrat in poll
ties, and an adhcrent Of the danger
Gus State Sovereignty doctrine. Yhe
first objection is met by assertions
that, though past the allotted age OF
man, he is intellectually and physic-
ally as vigorous as most men twenty
years his juniors; the second is said
to be baseless, some Of his friends
claiming that for two or three years
Mr.. G. has acted with the Ropubli-
can party, and abandoned his State
Sovereignty views. The Senators
are no doubt all personally acquaint-
ed with Mr.. Gushing and can judge
whether or not his fitness is i'm
paired by age; his political views
ought not to weigh against him for
tho position to which he is n0miuat-
ed, all accord to him great legal
knowledge, II well balanced mind
and personal character so pure
that not even the breath of suspic-
ion ever tainted it. EnvclopinQ
such a man, the judicial ermine will
be preserved umsullied.
