to the work nobly. ......
Dahlonega gave the largest majority
for HeGrick and .Hayne, and must be
set down as the banner township. In
a hard fight give us the Dahlonega Boys.
SO for Hayne and So for HeGrick are
written down for Dahlonega, and they
will be remembered. Dahlonega was
all right, and we say all hail to her as the
Banner Township. She has covered
herself with glory.
Richland is not far behind her neigh
Dor Dahlonega. She did all she promis.
ed, and little more. 4 for Hayne and
40 majority all round for the rest of the
tickle, is something TO talk about. We
rejoice. tina, the people of that township
are prospecting. They deserve it. For
intelligence, industry, enterprise, and
large majorities on the right side, it will
be hard to beat Richland in the State.
Colombia is a good slaunch township.
and has done well; but there was more
splitting there than we like to see.-
There are excellent men in Columbia,
none better-and on the more important
candidates they did all that was expect
ed. There seems TO be falling of as
10 some of the others, for reasons doubt
less good, but unknown to US.
COMPETING, in most particulars, was
right side mp. We always liked that
township, and we expected good ac-
count from her, and have got it Split
ting on Representatives, on personal
grounds, was looked for to some extent.
But not to the extent we find it.
Pleasant too is fine township. The
prairies were on fire there, and except
on Representatives, they give a good
round majority, as we expected they
would.
Keokuk fell behind our calculations
somewhat, but no doubt did The best she
could. We expected majority there in
our favor, but find one against US.
Adams aslonished every body, bu,
those acquainted with the activity aud
sterling qualities of her citizens. The
80 majority against us in that Township
was cut down somewhat. Adams give
US no majority, because she had none to
give; but no Township did better under
the circumstances.
Cass has redeemed all her pledges and
We think lille more. Our friends
there are entitled to all praise.
In Centre, the fight was hard one, on
both sides. We did not come out quite
as well as we expected, but pretty near
ly so. There is majority here agains,
us, and from the nature Of of the case,
it is closely contested. Every man,
however, did his duty, and we have
nothing to complain OF except few
votes which were not pollcd.
Agency and Washington did very lit
tie for US, although the latter gave Hayne
lift. For this We are much obliged.
From Green, Polk and Highland we
did not expect much, but in justice to
our friends there, who are among the
most active and reliable in the county,
we cannot pass them by in silence
There is good material in those town
ships, which will tell after a while
Don't be discouraged friends, brighter
day is dawning. Fight on fight ever
Never give up the ship. You will do
better next time.
On the whole we have much to encour
age us in the result in Wapello county.
With clear majority against US; with
an active opposition unscrupulous in the
use of means; press illuminating every
species oil calumny and mis-representa-
ton; with horde Of office holders riding
night and day dropping poison at every
step; Congressional canvass, and a
Senatorial and Presidential impending
We went into the fight; and owing TO the
Justice OF our cause and the zeal and in
dustry of our friends we have carried
two out of the FIVE offices. We hoped
to carry the legislative Ticket entire
Momenteus interests depended upon il.
But there was Misunderstanding about
our Representatives. The cry raised "a
