THE CONTESTED ELECTION.
The hrst Congressional District in this State is
now unrepresentedi What reproof to loco foco-
ism! What IN overthrow to political dishonesty
what blasting Of the reputation Of all those en-
soco House Of Representatives-have virtually de-

the Acknowledgement of the people of Pottawatta-
ME An outrage deserving just such chastisement
1s they have received This is the first successful
blow that Iowa Locofocoism has received. 1t is
from their own party, ana the sorer on that ac-
count There is some justice LELAND il this blow
d properly followed up, other tergiversations and
political transgressions will be proved upon that
party which mast eventuate in its disgrace and
downfall.
We should like to give our readers the debate in
full, that Is alluded to by Washington Cores
pondent, but our space will not admit Of it. The
drift Of it may, however, be seen by rerusing the
eorrsspondence. Mr. LETTERS ingratitude in now
90 grossly abusing the Mormons, after they sup
ported him. is gratuitous and almost objectionable.
We hope Gov. Bn,oos will issue his Proclama-
tion for election to fill this vacancy, that it
can be held on the same day with the other cleo
lions. This win save much time and expense. But
II such Proclamation Is issued, no EFFORT will be
Left untried by the poll book steaiers to secure
Thompson's election. They will tax their ingenu-
ity to accomplish such design. with the vain hope
that II successful, it will justify them in their for
uer course. All know their subtlety and crafti-
ness. The Wings in the 1st District will doubt.
less be on the alert! They must be 80. They must
look to the men who may be imported into their
district a. supernumerary voters. The locos can't
heat Miller in any other way. From this district
many, they think, may be spared. Although we
think they may be little mistaken, still if they
not do better to defeat Miller they will resort to
-s-s~ a--..-.A. no.,A.s~-- 49, A---..a
wings in the first District will be wide awake, and
on the watch. Our hope is that Daniel F. Miller
win best Thompson % bad, that Thompson will
wonder II he ever was candidate. This will evil
IDENTITY be the result, il no improper or dishonora-
Ole part 10 taken BY the loco focos.
We hope the trial win be made between Miller
ind Thcmpsonon the 6rst Monday in August, as we
said before. II win save both time and expense,
and viii aRay excitement, and anxiety. The cleo
zion will take place just four weeks from next Mon
day, and whoever 10 elected may probably take
his seat before tho present session of Congress
1djourns. We hope that the locos will now see
that "honesty is the best poticy'' even Tor them,
end that they will strive to be governed by this
principle hereafter. II is due to Dan. Miller and
che cause Of truth and honesty that every honesf
should vote for him to fill vacancy occasioned by
dishonest and anti-republican prostitution Of the
palladium Of our rights-the nuszling Of the ballot
