This is the most important Office in the State
we have always, from its creation, been opposed
10 making il subservient to party. The name We
have already announced a. being in our estimation
The most suitable 10 not because the gentleman who
bears Il IL whig, but because no prominent ana
capable man in the loco foco party would accepting
nomination 40 an independent candidate in the face
Of che party nomination of Mr. BENTON, and because
Mr. WOODWARD, is every way qualified, BY his tall
ents, his learning and his acquaintance with the
subject, 10 an the Office much more advantageousiy
70 The people than Mr. Benton, the party candidate
Of the late Co~senson composed fifteen loco Joeos,
recently held At Iowa City.
The Iowa City Republican Of the asth uit., re-
coumends that the Wing State commistee call
convention to meet in that place ON saturday, tne
eth Of March. Such suggestion would doubtless
have been acceptable. II it could have been acted on
in season. But II never reached US until last sat
usday, and the time proposed for the meeting -
next Saturday. All can see the impossibility OF
acting efficiently on such suggestion, At this late
hour. We presume that neither Messrs w. w.
woods OF Dorland are DESTROYS 10 run. II they are
not, We do not see any good reason why all tho
presses in the state VINO are desirous OF eiectns
more competent man than the present incumoens'
shouid hesitate in proclaiming WiLLlAN G. WOOD
wAap % The. Independent candidate for superin-
tendent Of Public Instruction. We presume the
whole corps Of wing editors in the State ought to
b a influential with their patty in such nomina-
ton. % the nfteen loco focos who nominated Mr.
Benton will be with theirs. All who know Mr. w.
believe him to be just the man. The Iowa Repub-
)icsn says Of him, ssMr Woodward Is every way
qualified. He is man Of fine talent, and excellent
qualifications, having mind OF no ordinary char
actsr, and that highly cultivated.n The Fairfield
Ledger thinks II Convention were held it would
nominass Mr. woodward, and says ofhim, eMr w.
10 gentleman OF line talents, known integrity, and
would undoubtedly make an excellent ofBces-one
far superior to the presen. Incumbent
we think that the proposition to proclaim Mr.
NooDw And the opposition candidate to Mr. BEN
ros, By IN the papers not welded to the party &C
tton Of the late convention Of fifteen at Iowa City,
would receive the appreciation Of all the people oc-
cupying the Same position. II they do this, the
chairman OF the whig state Committee would be
fully authorized TO order to be printed and dstri-
buted an adequate number OF tickets, with Nj
Woodwsrd,s name correctly spelled ON them, SO that
iii the counties be furnished in season. by an un
aerstanding OF this kind in the absence OF suhcien
time 70 make more desirable arrangements, Their
Win bs . fair prospect OF electing faithful an
competent man ~ Superintendent, in the person
WILLIAM G. Woonw Ard, ESQ. In accordancs wit
the above proposition, most cheerfully place hi
name 1t the head Of our columns.
