Chauncey Abbott, of Madison, has been nominated for Congress by the Whigs of the 2d Congressional district. He is about as good a man as the Whigs could nominate, and will most certainly poll his full party vote.—Wash. Co. Blade, (Dem.)
The Democratic papers all speak well of Mr. Abbott. They concede his personal worth and eminent fitness for the office to which the Whigs have nominated him. We trust that our friends in the Second District intend to give him the heartiest kind of support.—Milwaukee Sentinel.
