sneaL;nC of Tilden's letter says:

The ends which Gov. Tilden keeps
in view will be everywhere agreed to.
The difference will occur upon the
means by which he proposes to Sc
cure these ends. The country has
been studying the democratic policy
since the political revolution in the
states in 1874 put it partly into
mower. The course of the party has
not been such as to encourage any
more faith in it than the country has
had for the last sixteen years.

IN FAVOR OF HAZELToN.
The Republican Congressional

in Mineral Point on the 5th of Septem-
her to place in nomination a candidate
for Congress to be supported by the
marty at the ensuing election.
+ AS yet but little has been said as to
who will be candidates, but we pre-
sumo that there will be several candi-
dates for the honor. The present
Member, Hon. III. S. Magoon, as
matter Of course, has been brought
out by his home paper, the Darling,
ton Repubhcan, and strongly urged
for a nomination. The Mineral
Point Tribune gives him a quasi sup
bort. and the Platteville Witness
awould be pleased to see sufficient
unanimity throughout the district to
nominate Mr. Magoon without a dis
senting vote, believing that
it woold be no more than common JUS
ltice to send him back a second time
Iso that he might use, for the benefit OF
Ibis constituents, the experience he has
thus far acquired" The Dodgeville

A CANDIDATE FOR FARMERS AND ME.
CHANCES.

CHANICS.
There has been no little complaint
among the agricultural and mechanic.
al classes of this district that they
have been ignored in the selection of
candidates; that the nominations for
important offices have almost always
been professional men-generally law.
yers. They say with no little show
of truth that they, who are nine.tenths
of the citizens af the district, never
have any one to represent their inte-
rests in Congress. That the interests
of professional men are frequently OPP
posed to theirs, but theirs, for lack OF
representation, must 60 to thewall be-
| fore tho interests of class COMPARE
tiv ely small.
Now there is a cause for this which
is quite apparent. Men of command
ing abilities generally, though not al
ways, seek the professions as field
of labor; aud so, as natural conse.
quence, it is in the professions that
men of high ability are most frequent
ly found and most generally looked
for. Then, too, man whose daily la
Dor brings him in frequent contact
with literature, or whose daily labor
is itself literature, will become more
cultured and his natural abilities will
show to better advantage than a
man of equal ability whose daily labor
deals ONLY with material things, and
whose culture, if it come at all, must
come from outside the labor of his av-
ocation.
But, though a majority of greatly
talented men enter the professions, a
minority do not; and though we usual
ly look to the professions for culture
and talent, we need not always do so.
We do not see why the agricultural
community may not be well represent
ed in Congress by Cyrus Sargent,
Esq. He is not only an owner of farms
but Iaborer upon farms; and being
not above manual labor, he sympa-
ties with the laborer and is capable
of making the interests of labor his
own. He is not only man of high
talent but of extensive information
and high culture as well. He is fine
speaker, not one who talks finely for
Buncombe or spreads the eagle in the
loftiest ether, but one who says sound
and sensible things in plain, forcible
and we'll chosen words. Few men
could be namsd so removed from
temptation to the venality, corruptness
and extravaganza of the political age.
But his modesty moro than equals
his othor good qualities, aud the few

OPPOSED TO MACON.

One question will be demanded OF
every Congressional candidate this
wear. before the conventions and dur
inc the campaign "Will you urge
the channel improvement of the Wis
consin river to the best of your ability,
in season and out of season." On the
answer given will depend very large
" the vote any man will receive along
this valley. One reason why Il. o.
Maeoon can never go back to Wash
;noton. whether he win the nomlna'
ton or not, is his persistent advocacy
of the $lo,oo0,oo0 canal steal. we
have heard of no shadow of Suspicion
resting on either conduct or motive al
.------ar hnnAstv: but none the less be
support of the canal scheme; and he
has striven to gain an appropriation
which would be scattered to the
winds of heaven before there would
be any glimpse of a canal. This val
ley will poll vote against him which
we doubt the ability of any party lines
however stringently drawn, to over
come.
The Darlington Republican fails t.
recognize this in bringing Mr.. Magoor
out for denomination. The Lancaster
Aduocate for party reasons pats editor
Wrigglesworth on the back, aud the
latter, all unsnspicious plumes himself
on the endorsement. The sooner it il
distinctly understood that this valley
holds the balance of power in the dis
trict, and means TO use it to gain
practicable water-route, and that cap
turing convention nova days does
not by any means imply capture o
the popular vote, the sooner all parties
will know on which side their bread
is buttered. - MuSc0d0 Nel0s.
