called or three three cheers for The Democratic Gers
" Monroe County, who rejected tho Mormon vote "lcl
wEs loudly resronded to By large meeiag
By this bod and shameless outrage-whch the
Clerk rad no more right to commit than be had To
burn the County Records-Daniel T. Miller was
swindled out of the seat, and William Thompson
hoisted into it, The Clerk had no power 10 accept
or reject a return, except when acting in conunc-
ton with two Justices Of the Peace as Board Tor
that purpose. No such Board ever acted on the
Kanesyile returns, or was enabled to ast upon
them-they were simply stolen through the coa-
nivauce Of the Clerk before reaching the Board at
all. The Clerk should have simply received them
and laid them before the Board for action-he had
10 shadow OF right to do anything else until the
Board should meet when he could vote against
counting them If he thought proper. But we are
speaking according to Law, while he acted accord
ing to Loco Focoism.
The pollbooks thus stolen by some one OF the
gang and steathiy carried of by Hall, were finally
handed over by him to Thompson, the very man
who BY means Of that robbery took his seat in Con
eress and is now taking his eight dollars per lay.
Tie Loco L oco leaders knew where It was bat
Mr.. Miller and the Wings could not guess the yo'
tiers robbed Of their rights ind the freemen robbed
Of the Representative they had chosen, and misre-
preseAted by one they had not chosen, were kept
wholly in the dark about IT, Thompson brought 1t
with him to Washington, and when Miller obtained
an order from the House to take testimony IN Iowa,
Thompson sent it back to his lawyer Charles Ma
con to be ready in case anything could be made by
producing it, Still, Miller and the Wings were
kept in ignorance Of its very existence. But one
dsy while the investigation was going on Mason
sttemp ed to take from his pocket certain papers
that he wanted to serve on Mr.. Miller, and by mis-
take felt in the wrong pocket and pulled ont the
Kone,rille p0't5ookl 1t was instantly recognized
and fastened upon by Miller, aud is now IN evil
dence before the House aud the Country-in evil
dence not merely OF the election of Miller, bat Of
the compound conspiracy and rascality whereby he
was robbed Of his seat subjected to grea. expense,
md has for six months been kept out OF it, while
man rejected by the People has been casting tho
votes and drawing the pay which pertain to the
Representative of the First District Of Iowa.
On what ground then, is the tardy justice Of
admitting Mr. Miller to his seat sti resisted Only
On this-that KanesUAe Ices not lie due pest Of
Monroe County that line drawn due West
from the North line Of said County would strike
six miles south OF Kanesville But the organza-
ton was made in perfect good faith-it was made
/, Loco Foco authorities, the tall persuasion that
II Law west Of Monroe, and at a time when no means
existed OF precisely ascertaining the bearings Of
poiut on the Missouri from the distant settlements
in the center Of the State. IL made no shadjw of
odds. so FAR ss the Congressional contest was con
cered. whether Kanesyille was attached 70 Mon
roe or the County north Of it, and the cavi is as
frivolous as cavil could be. The poll district was
organized in good faith so the votes were cast
and by legal and good voters. This attempt Of the
Loco Focos to take advantage OF their own wrong
IN disfranohse FIVE hundred ireemen is but a Sec
oud edition Of the stealing Of the POLLOCK II can
not be that the House will sustain it for moment.
