WISCONBIN, TOLITICS IN GENERAL. Bpectal Corresporulence of The Tribune, Mirwauses, Wis, Sept. 10.—Zome of yqur readers with gray hairs in theie heads will re- member a remark which Horace Greeley mailo in regard to the Whig piatform of 1852, Thnat was the last appearance of the ol Whigs os n patlonal party before the peuple of this coun- try, and Gen, Winfleld Scott was then thelr candidate for President, on a platform as (n- fensely pro-slavery ns any cver framed by the Locofoen Munker Democrats. Tha antl-siavery {ido was then just rising fn all the Free States that was to sweep the * peculiar fnstitution into thesca of oblivion, and remove the ono foul blot that had disgraced our natlonal escutcheon for 200 years. Both the old partics wers under tho supreme control of tho slave-holding politicians of the South, and each vied with the other in yicld- ing everything that its masters demanded of it. Mr. Grecley, who was thoroughly tinbued With the antl-slavery scntiment, and who had ‘sup- ported Henry Clay In 1844 and Gen. Taylor In 1843—both slave-holders—under Wotest,was in- dignant at the concesslons made to the Sonth by the Whig platform in 1852, and declared in * his paper that hie would support the eandlates, BOT TUAT TR WOULD BPIT UPON TIE PLATFORM, Just so a larre majority of the thinking men of the Republiean party of Wisconsin feel to-day {n respect to the platform adopted by their Stata Conventfon at Madison Inst week, A more unsatisfactory, Indecielye, and absord confesslon of political faith they say was pever promulgated. As 'Tns Trintyg well gavs, there is nothing “clear cut and decisive sbout {t,” but all its statements are neutralized by counter-allegations and provisional clauses. ‘In regard to the President’s Bouthern policy, civil-service reform, the re-catabiishment of the silver dollar, and the conflict Letween capital and labor, the Convention gave out nothing but uncertain sounds, The plank in which it fs de- clared, ** That the Republican party Is in favor of an appropriation by Congress for the pur- poso of assisting under suitable rezulations the gurplus laboring men of the larger citles nnd mining districts to scttlc on the public lands,” contains as big a lle na ever was” uttered. No one but an addle-bralned Communist or politi- cal quack could ever liave invented such an absurd rostrum for the cure of a soclal evil, and 1 fancy that there is not a Republivan editor or orator in Wisconsin who will be fool- bardy euough to undertake to defénd that resolution before the people. Bomo of the Ite- publican newspapers have refused to print that resoluglon, white the Sentinel, of this city, fol- Jows the lead of Tua Trinusg, and holds §t up to the ridiculo and condemnation of cvery hon- estinap. That paper boldly declares that, fu- nemuch as the Conventlon utterly fulted to eive us a chart by which to fight tho coming cam- paign, it must bo run on the personal popit]arl- ty of the gentlemen composing the State ticket. and the party must fall back on the platform of the last Natfonal Republican Conventlon for an expression of its alins and principles. Many of tho active men in the party are urging Mr. Smith, the nomince for Governor, to dellver o carefully-prepared specch at an Mflly day, and give the key-note to the campalen, It be does not comply with that request hea will cer- taloly wefto a forinal letter of nccept- snce to the publle, and give some defi- nito snd logival statement of bis fdens of Rtate and notional politics. This seccms to beoll tho more nccessary now becanso a dis vatch to Tite Titinune from Janesville during the 8tate falr, concerning Mf, Smith, misrepre- gented him on one or two very fmportant Eolnu especially In respect to his views of tvil-dervice reform. That dispateh represent- cd him as antagonizing the President’s onder In reference to the action of Federal office-holders, whercas the truth [ that there fa probably no man in Wiscousin who {s niore heartlly in ac- cord with Presfent Hayes on that subject than Mr. 8mith biwself, THE PALL RACES, Ado?‘tlnz tho phraseology of the hersemen, there have been three entries made alrendy for the November vacea—8uith, by the Hepublie- aus; Allls, by the Ureenbackers, and Hammoud, by the Profiltitionlsts.

It Is too mueh under the control of the old Bourbon ad ex- Copperhead element of the party to take any good advice, and too auti-progressive and rok- rooted to take ndvantage of circwinetances, and perform a coup d'etat that would give them possesston of the State uMees for two years to come.
