REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS.
But few weeks since a meeting WIS

pected from him, aud it il not unlikely tha,
he will be found secretly opposed to the
measure, "-alluding TO the projected rail-
road from Dubuque TO Keokuk. Since
that meeting, Delegates Of tho Locofoco
party from Dubuque, have met in this place
and given their sanction to the reelection
Of the Same unworthy servant. We cun.
not believe that those Delegates expressed
the sentiments Of the people Of Dubuque
when they endorsed tho nomination oi
SHEPHERD LErrLER for reelection. II
they desire their interests represented thev
must send n man to Congress who has some
knowledge of those interests and who un-
derstands the business they may entrust
to his care. In TIMOTHY DAVIS they will
lind such man, one who from his long
residence in the northern portion Of Iowa,
has become fully acquainted with tho wants
Of that section of our State. We trust that
all who desire to see the interests Of north

in Congress, will vote for man who By at.
