I
Editor IF the Reporter Sir: Having
learned that some difficulty arose in the
democratic Convention that met a: Iowa
City on the gath ult., for the purnose Of
nominating candidate for Judge Of this
Judicial district, as to who the proper DEL
egates were from Linn county, we feel It
but an act Of justice to the Central Com
mlttee ofthis county and to l. M. Preston,
whose name our delegates were instructed
! to present to the convention as a candidate
for nomination, to give a full explanation
ofthe circumstances which were connected
with the selection Of those delegates.
The first information that we received
ofthe time of holding the convention was
from letters written by Robt. Smythe ESQ.
then attending the sitting Of the Legisla-
ture as member, six days before the
meeting ofthe convention. The next NOR
ning notice were posted up by D. P.
Palmer, chairman Of the Linn county CEN
trail committee, by order of majority of
said committee: for meeting of the dem.
ocrass OF the county generally, to be held
at the court house in Marion on the Sat-
urday following. In pursuance of this call.
meeting was held and five delegates an
pointed to attend the district convention.
"A resolution was unanimously passed by
the meeting that the five delegates so Sc
lected should cast the full vote of the coun-
ty-ten votes-with power to fill vacancies
In their own body. ...-.
This meeting was represented by demo.
Gratis from Cedar Rapids, Otter Creek,
Franklin and Marien township, and con.
Quoted nall respects according to demo-
cratic usages. n
Now, if there were any declarations made
at the convention at Iowa City in refer
ence to the primary meeting held at Ma
non, different from what is herein set
forth. they are, to use the mildest terms,
incorrect. Lest we should be misunder,
stood, we wish distinctly to say, that we
are highly pleased and completely satisfied
with the nomination of Mr.. Carleton, as
are the democracy of the whole county.
P. w. EARL,
ALPHES BROWN.
IRAN WILSON,,
Having been absent from Marion previ.
Gus to, and at the time of the meetino
above referred to, am not prepared 10
make full statement of all the facts in
relation thereto; but from what fell under
my own observation, and from the jnpar-
tlal testimony of my friends, believe the
above statements are substantially true.

MARION, April 26th, ls47.

Mr.. Editor :-Considerable misanre.
tension seems TO prevail in regard to the
manner in which the meeting was called
in this place, on the Goth of February, to
appoint delegates to attend the Judicial
District Convention at Iowa City. Itap-
pears to be the impression, in some quar-
tiers, that those who called that neetino
Were not authorized to do so: and that th,S
are further censurable for not giving -
extensive notice as should have been civ.
eE, and thereby, or by some other undue
means, dePrlving the democratic citizens
OF the county generally of participating in
the proceedings of the meeting. A brief
statemeTs:; Of facts, therefore, seems neces-
sary TO correc! such erroneous impress.
sions.
The first official notice we had here of
holding the Judicial convention Cor this
district, was brought TO US by mail on the
Wednesday evening previous to the time
appointed for holding the convention 6.
Iowa City. But little time then remained
for US to call meeting to appoint dele
gates for the county. Mr.. Preston and
myself were the only members OF the
Democratic Central Committee residing in
this town; and, as we had not time to con-
salt the members residing in other parts
OF the county. we concluded to give notice
Immediately Of a meeting to be held in this
town on The following Saturday afternoon.
MIR. Preston had business at the Rapids.
and was to circulate the notice in that d.
rection; while I was to spread it as widely
as could from here, in other directisps.
This was agreed between US, and / believe
that Mr.. Preston performed lis part of
the agreement, On Thursday morning /
wrote notices and pasted them up in con-
spicuous pieces in this town, one Of which
was pasted against the postofiice door,
But | was prevented Icy illness from send
ing notices to other townships; yet even
if had been well, could not, without
using extraordinary exertions, hav given
much more exteneive notice in the time [
had, (two days when there was but lit.
tie travelling from one part OF the county
to another, and but few opportunities to
send out notices.
i n1ey not be improper to state further,
IN vindication Of my conduct, that there is
misunderstanding and consequent DIS
agreement, as to who is chairman of the
central committee of this county, even by
those who were present at the time the
committee was appointed by the county
convention last tall. 1t was understood by
some that Mr.. J.. NJ. Strong was appoint-
ed chairman, and by others, tha, | was 50
appointed: Personally, this is matter OF
Indifference to me, as | suppose it is TO
MIR, Strong. It has sorae bearing, how
ever, upon the question Of my right to call
county meeting; but, be the fact as i,
may, | feel justified, under the circumstarn-
ces, in doing what did.
With this statement before the public,
am willing to submit th; matter to their
judgment. L P. PALMER.

THE NEW SENATOR.

We are gratifed to perceive that r. NJ II. Hun
TER, of Essex has been elected TO succeed MI.
ARCHER in the Senate of the United States As
there was no prospect of re-electng that sterling
patriot and most estmable gentleman, William s..
Archer, we are glad that the Democracy have chc-
sen for his successor gentleman OF fine talents and
lrrcprCachabe characteT-one who will ably sus-
tain the social as well the intellectual character
of Virginia. We know of no man in the Democra-
tic ranks who would have been so acceptable to us.
He is quite young man---nOt more than forty
years OF age AT one time he belonged to the Wing
party but went off with Mr. Calhoun, to whom. he
is devotedy attached, in 1887. His election will
be severe blow to the Richmond junto.-Tndeed
we may regard it as decided triumph of the oppo-
nents of Mr. PoLKand his measures Mr.. Calhoun,
we all know. was strongly opposed TO the Mexican
war. and said in his place in the Senate, that he
would sooner plant dagger in his heart than vote
for the war bill which was passed BY Mr.. PoLx's
friends. The election Of Mr. HUNTER NAV he re-
garded as an Indirect endorsement of Mr. Calhoun e

nominee of the caucus-Gov SMITH and he owes
his election to the Wings and some ten or fifteen

SENATORIAL ELECTION.

ROBERT Nj. 7. HUNTER, Esq. was yesterday e.
lected U. S. Senator for six years from the 9TH of
March next, to succeed Mr.. Archer This result
was effected by the cooperation of most of the
Wings with few of the Administration members,
who adhered to him seadfasty, not only in opposi-
ton to the Gubernatorial Caucus nominee, but to
other gentlemen, who were afterwards put in nom
ination by the determined opponents of Mr.. Hun
TER, several of whom declared their preference in
private conversation, for Wing! We have not
room, in consequence of the late hour at which
the House adjourned, to publish the proceedings at
length. The following is the state of the vote on
the several ballotings:
