+. p. LoUNsBERY's Daguerreotypes are the
best we have ever seen; the most perfectly life
like. Many who examine them, we venture to
say, will have their old pictures rubbed off, and
new ones instead. Mr.. Lounsbery has no 9TH
er business; he never learned any other, and
learned this with an intention of obtaining liv-
ing by it. He therefore understands it well;
takes pride in it, and of course is more to be
trusted than those half-made daguerreotypists
who pick up smattering of This business, when
they get idle and out of funds, and stroll into
the country on three months cruise, to print
libels on peoples faces, at dollar or two dol
lars apiece!
N. B.-Mr. L. invites the ladies, and assures
us that his rooms will always be suitable place
for them to visit.

For the Journal.

FOR the Journal
Mr.. EDIToR:
AS the wings of Marion hold convention,
shortly, for the nomination of county officers, |
take the liberty 10 propose DR.. HUGH MER-
EDITH as one of the candidates for the House
Of Representatives.
In DIR. Meredith, we have known and ster-
ling wing; -a gentleman Of talents and learning;
long and intimately acquainted with the history,
laws and wants of the State; known and devo-
ted friend to internal improvements; one who is
able to present and maintain his views; and who,
withal, is not mixed up with the past conteh-
tons of party, nor factions of party; who, in
fact, could and would unite the whole wing vote
OF the county. Ithas been apprehended that he
would not consent to run; but many who know
him, feel confident that if required by the county
convention, his patriotism would give way to
such private objections as merit usually as
signs.
His distinguished abilities will be remem-
bered by all who have read his able report on
the survey of Salt River, for the purpose of
ascertaining the practicability of making that
stream nayigable by slack water improvements.
If his name is presented and accepted by the
convention, no wing, or democrat, if disposed,
will hesitate to give him cordial support.

what ''principlep MIR. Lamb will advocate,
which win be advantageous to this district, and
which Mr.. Porter viii oppose2 We pin our
ncghbor 70 this point, and insist upon direct,
Iunequivocal answer, pointing out one such prin-
ciple. This is practical age; we are practi-
cal people; we should send men to Congress to
do something, and we particularly request the
Courier in advance, net TO fly clean OF the SUBJ
jcct into paroxysm about GLORIOUS, Immortal,
pure, unadultcrated, interchangeable, everlasting
Democratic principles ;" mere sounding
rant, meaning nothing, in Democratic newspa-
pers.
Nor is there anything personal in our remark
that he has not suilicleE, 'poliiical information
or experience" We hold that both are ncees-
sary TO Congressman.
Perhaps Dir. Lamb never had an aspiring
thought until within the last few months, when
he began to find himself looked upon as a cross
between the two parties, and therefore conve-
nient TO unite upon. Heretofore, he may have
considered politics out of his line, eloquence a
mere ornament, and supposed il he acquired a
knowledge of his profession, it would be practi-
cally sufficient for modest, retiring, unambi-
tiOus man. We do not object to the soil, but the
manner in which it has been cultivated. The
richest prairie ground will produce nothing but
grass till it is plowed. Apparently all the cul-
tivation of the soil referred to, has resulted in
the dropping in Of some democratic seeds, which
have sprung up into poke-weed ard fennel; and
this confused mixture Of rank principles is TO be
relied on as sufficient to fit Mr.. Lamb for Con-
gress!

go on to Washington, and the editor of the Union
discovers that where one of the resolutions de-
clares that the wings of Missouri will not sup
port candidates not known or believed to be in
favor of the compromise, and opposed to agita-
ton, the real meaning Tin the editors opinion)
was that they would support no man for Presi-
dent not "believed to be I" opposed to the COM
promise! So these resolutions had TO be sub
mitted to the leader of all the Democracy, and
who OF course ought to be the smartest man in
the nation, before any fault could be found and
he has drawn Prodigiously on his Imagination.
Our little neighbors ought TO be ashamed to bark
at such mares nest, after so long time spent
in hunting it out, and having after all to be in
debted for the discovery to the keener scented
leader of the pack at Washington. Hereafter
these resolutions may be set down as excellent
yea more, they may be considered Eauliless.

Of US will be out in full strength.

garbles our article on the District Judge
ship in the following style:
"But when il comes to the election r by
the people of Judges and Magistrates,
we are decidedly opposed to il, and we
believe that majority Of the people are

The words "by the people which
are inierlined in the quotation from the
Courier by the editor of the Republic
we never used. To show our readers
wha, some men will descend to, to OBJ
tain the advantage over a contemporary,
we here insert the paragraph we wrote
and as i,appeared IN our paper:
$50 far as we are concerned we are
opposed to caucuscs in toto. But in this
instance more particularly. And we
should never enter Convention, were
il not in sell-defeuce. Ii the opposite
party hold a Convention and organize
for contest in truly political election,
we believe we are unsuitable in meeting
them on The same ground. But when
il comes 10 the election of Judges and
Magistrates, we are decidedly opposed
TO it, and we believe that majority Of
the people are with us in this particular.
When party matters are carried to such
an extent as to meet in Convention for
the nomination OF a Justice of the Peace,
we are of.
The editor of the Republic, by cut
ting four lines out of our article, in which
We spoke exclusively IN reference to
Conventions. and by putting words in
our article which we never used, at
tempts to prove that we are opposed TO
the election, "by the peoples" of Mag
istrates and Judges!!!
What, fellow citizens, do you think Of
man who will piHuVy misrepresent
another as the Republic has done US in
this instance. We would rather steal
for living than resort to such means TO
obtain party favors.
We said not one word in opposition TO
the election of Judges or Magistrates by
the people. On the contrary we are in
favor of making all offices, from Pres
ident down 10 the peiiiest postmaster in
the Union, elective by direct poie of
the people.
II is natural propensity, however,
with our neighbor to distort or magnify

would benefit our people far more than
any other Rail Road suggested.
a. Reso ord, That Rail Road west
