ed the assembage IN very animated and
impressive manner returning his thanks for
the high honor which had been conferred
upon him, and which was so unexpected,
that even vet, he said, he had scarcely tones
to express his sense OF such distinguished
kindness. He hoped he would soon be
able to offer better evidences OF his gratitude,

not so much BY any high merits OF his own,
as from the independence OF his position,
he would act as the Speaker, not of party,
but OF the House aud while he would feel
obliged TO sustain those principles TO which
he was committed, he would also endeayor
to uphold the interest Of every section Of
the country. He referred briefly to the du-
ties Of the members Of this branch of the
Government-speciiyirg particularly the
obligations resting on them, as the grand in.
quest of the nation, 10 investigate the con.
duct of other departments, and controlling

Loco CONVENTION AT LANCASTER
The federalists have met with another re-
buke from the people,! Their gathering
on Wednesday last was perfect failure,
their procession was not much longer than
their faces--dismay, and the fatal FORE
knowledge of certain defeat, were mani
fest on every eountenance! From the
best information we can obtain, this Con.
vention, which was to strike terror to OPP
ponents. and cheer the energies of friends;
to show that the people approved Of Buch-
anan's doctrines, and were attached to
, the administration; which was by fed eral
arithmetic and the use of the public money,
to have reached 100000, did not actually
number much MORE THAN 5000. Why
the smallest village in our State, can raise
larger harvest-home for Harrison and
Tyler! Our friends who were in Lancas-
ter, either casually or attracted by the de-
sire to see what federalism could do, might
have formed procession, and outnumber-
ed them!

Aug. was received by Tuesday evenings

and splendid steam ship Acadia in the
shortest passage yet made, being only
twelve and half days from Liverpool,
including her detention at Halifax. We
only have room for the following:--
Threatened European war.....Arming
of France!!!
The engrossing topic Of the week has been
the disagreement of the English and the
French Government on the Eastern Question,
the settlement of which England, Russia,
Austria. and Prussia have agreed to attempt
without the cooperation of France. The
/ French, papers exclaim against the perfdy OF
!! the English; declare that the alliance between
| France and England, which they now say,
they always regarded as hollow, is dissolved
and threaten instant war against England and
her allies The belligerent tone of the Paris
papers had caused some uneasiness on the
Stock Exchange, where the prices of all kinds
| of stock have fallon. We believe, however
that the quarrel between the Sultan and hi:
Viceroy will be settled without provoking .
general war in Europe.

"a Convention. We know many that are
decidedly opposed to it, and whatever
may be the action of the Conventions
whoever may be the nominee Of that
Convention, they will vote for whom
they please without regard TO such NOM
ination. Notwithstanding the vain boast
ings of the Gazette, we sincerely be-.
lieve that if the individual who has been
secretly spoken of as the candidate of the
Convention permits himself to be recon-.
mended by that body he will not only be
defeated, but death blow will be given
to his future political prospects in this
Territory"
We now ask if it is not plain that Gen.
Dodge is the office-holders candidate?
Look at the means used in the first place
to make him the candidate; --then look at
the manner in which he was introduced
as such to the people. Bear in mind, too,
that certain office holder, who is sup
posed to be the chief instigator of this
nomination was present at the Blooming-
ton Convention-look at all the circum.
stances--and then say if we are not fully
authorized to call him the Office holders
candidate!
We deprecated the holding of the Con-
vention which nominated Gen. Dodge
from the start. But our voice was unheed.
ed, The Office holders have now placed
their representative in the field, and THE
PEOPLE have onein the field too. The
contest is palpably between the Office
holders and the People, and the latter have
never been known to be beat ALFRED

tple. He was taken up by them, not be-
cause he had rich and influential friends
to back his claims-not because he could
boast of official dignity in being the recip-
lent of Executive patronage--No. But
because, being one Of them, he knows full
we'll the wants Of the people, and is full
ly competent TO sympathize with them in
every emergency. 1t is on this account
and because he is meritorious young
man that he has been selected, and we
have not the least doubt that if elected he
will represent the interests of the people
of Iowa as creditably and honorably as
any other man.

PALACE FURNITURE.

The remainder of Mr. OgIe's speech
will be found in this weeks Hawk-Eye.
No attempt has been made to refute the
facts set forth in this speech by our
opponents. Their aim seems rather to
show Mr. Ogle to have been s'meddle-
some scoundrel'' in having the temerity
to expose the princely extravaganza of
that exqusi,ly democratic prince, Martin
Van Buren,, than to prove, as false, any
of the charges set forth by Mr. Ogle. W.
They publish such parts of the speech Of
Mr. Lincoln as will suit their purpose, and
then turn round and congratulate them
selves on their maagna,ain.ity in publish
ing Wing speech!
The whole scope of Mr. Lincoln's ar
gument seems to be,-not to disprove the
charges made by Mr. Ogle,-for this he
could not consistently do, as many of the
purchases of which Mr. o. complains were
made under the direction of Van Buren, in
the absence of Mr. Lincoln and any COM
mittee, but to show that he merely diff.
fered with Mr. Ogle in regard to the erpe-
diency of relying on such charges against
the Administration, while there were so
many Of graver character, in his estima-
ton, which should demand attention.
Whatever may be the deviation that
marks the political character Of Mr. Ogle
If he did, even, in the heat of party ex-
element during the fiery discussion Of the
masonic and anti-masoic question in Penn
sylvania, sign his brothers name to an
electioneering handbill as set forth by our
/ opponents-that cannot invalidate his tes-
timony in the present case. All the peo-
| pie wish to know is, whether or not the
vouc.1ers which he has laid before them
in relation to the grossly An,i-Republican
and anti-Anoerican extravaganza of the
General of modern democracy are true.

culiar mode of tactics, to shift the ground
of their defence as often as they choose,
but they cannot avoid the true issue. The

MOUNT PLEASANT, Aug. ~.
mr.. acknowledging that the public
mind has been abused in relation to the
prospects of Mr. RICH in Henry county,
by the circulation of reports detrimental
to his interests throughout the Territory.
l take this method to set the matter at
rest, and to assure the public that his
prospects are not better in any county in
the Territory, save, perhaps, Lee, where
he resides.
Messrs Rich and Dodge both address,
cd the citizens of Henry county this af-
ternoon. Mr. Dodge acquitted himself
very well, but his speech would suffer
much IN comparison with the efforts of
Mr. Rich, who happily disappointed his
most sanguine friends. 1t was worthy
both the man and the cause, and display
ed talents on the part of Mr. Rich equal to
the undertaking and the Office which he
aspires to fill. In short, both parties ad.
nit it to be the ablest political speech
ever delivered in the county.
Mr. Rich is emphatically the Peoples
candidate, contending against an Office.
Holder. who was sent intotthe Territory
by the President of the United States with
a commission, and who, at this very time,
IS receiving a salary from Government
not fU short Of FOUR THOUSAND
DOLLARS IN Gold and Silver.i
Who, then, can hesitate between the
two men for Delegate to Congress? The
battle is to be fought between the People
and the Office.H Holders between those
who are contending for the loaves and
fishes and those who are contending for
their rights. The Freemen Of the Terri
tory need not fear for the result in Henry
county! We shall give Mr. Rich a clear
majority of at least one hundred votes
And we call upon all who are opposed to
dictation from the Office Holders, and the
corruption of the present profigate Ad-
ministration, to sustain us. All local
questions in this county will be laid aside
for the public good.
