q A. A, Gardner.

The For, Madison PLAZA Dealer and the
Dubuque Express have each copied the
letter Of our young friend named above, To-
gether with the explanatory remarks gwen
at the time; FOR which the respective editors
are entitled to the thanks If every one who
would see Justice meted out to n deserving
younr man. of whom there is every A. SUI

from the confinement and influences TO
which he is now subjected. In respect to
Mr.. Gardner the PAN Dealer says:
From what We can learn by those whose
opportunities have been such as to cause
them best to know the circumstances as re-
CARDS this prisoner, now incarcerated within
the walls Of the Iowa Penitentiarv, at this
place, we can but fully endorse the remarks
of the editor of the Gazette, and with him
and the citizens Of Scott county, together
with all others that are or may become &C
quainted with the facts in the case. in pray
Ing that a reprieve be granted him by the
President This young man has already
served the State more than five years, and
from what We can learn, has during that
time always conducted himself decorousiy.
and no act OF his has ever been censurabie
! in the opinion OF the officers in charge OF the

names, and lend their influence to obtain n

The Tables Turned.

When Gen. Harrison was the Wing
nominee for the Presidency, the Opposition
gave him the title of the mum candidate,
because he refused to answer the thousand
and one letters that were addressed him,
inquiring his opinion upon every political
subject under the sun from the creation OF a
national currency TO the standard value OF
pistareen. Now We find the papers OF the
same school in low deelaiming against Mr..
Grimes. because he is travelling throughout
the State and addressing the sovereigns up
on the leading political topics of the day.
Curtis Bates in the meantime, to every
request made him 70 visit the people refuses
to do SO, asserting tina, his professional en-
Csgcmen,s will net admit oft. His opinions
upon the Nebraska and Maine Law ques-
tons, the amendment Of the Constitution,
and upon every important subject now be-
fore the people are unknown. He seems
to be not only mum candidate, but one
who breads TO open his lips for fear of ex-
posing his ignorance.

From the Ti-Wcekly a Saturday,

Yesterday morning we mot the ed'torl
60, upon the cars in Rock Island and were
conveyed to the busy little town Of Moline
with Railroad speed. Found that place, as
all other western towns, improving rapidly;
fine buildings being erected, and obvious
signs OF prosperity on every side,
This is one OF the most industrious places
we have ever visited, anu may we'll be term
ed the Lowell OF the West" Every ono
here is busy; the expense OF living is mod
crate. consequently nearly every person i
laying up money, or investing it in property,
which is rapidly increasing in value.
We are indebted 10 Mr.. W. 4. Nourse
for introducing US TO the proprietors and
showing US through some Of their manniac-
turing establishments. This gentleman has
several Of the famed Sewing Machines fer
sale. lie stated that he will shortly visit
some OF the sewing circles in Davenport and
show the ladies' the operation Of these ma
chimes.
We visited Alonzo Nourse's Mandatory
OF agricultural and household articles, and
we're shown bs that gentleman through the
various branches OF his establishment
Messrs. Candee g. Sloan occupy part OF
the same building in making Their "kevoi-
wing Horse Rakes." Osborns& Kelly and
another firm are making Sash, Doors, &c.
in the immediate vicinity. We were also
shown through the Bedstead, Bucket and
Tub factory, where We saw buckets and
tubs turned out in an incredibly shor, space
Of time; but It'll the supply IS insufficient
for the demand. But what struck our at
tention as the most remarkable, was the
Prismatic Lathe of Sears & Co on the Is
land. where in few revolutions OF the
lathe, they ground ont bedpcsts, etc. of
almost every conceivable form, square, oc-
tagonal and round.
There are also in Moline PloW Factory,
Paper Mill, several Saw mills, &c, &c.,
some using water and others steam power.

pace and with the general thrift and intel
ngence of the people, particularly with those

IMPORTING CArTLE.-A fine drove of cat
tie, mostly steers, numbering nearly two
hundred head, were crossed al our ferry
yesterday on their way to St Paul.
For the last two or three years Iowa and
Minnesota have been sending cattle 10 Cal
ifornia, but the present high rates are in
ducing many persons to import them, though
these States are better adapted TO raising
stock than any others in the Union.
We learn that another detachment OF
this drove, numbering in all over four hun
dred, including cows, calves and several
fine locking bulls, have since crossed the
river

A PoIITIcAL PKEpIcrloN.-Tbe New
York Erensne Fost, an able Democratic
paper, but earnest in its opposition to the
Neb raska niquity, makes the following
prediction as to the political consequences
of that infamous measure:
The Democratic party has lost its mora
strength in the free States it is stripped OF
the respect Of the people by the miscon-
duet ofthose who claim to be its leaders ;
and whatever boast we may make OF our
excellent maxims of legislation and policy
in regard to other questions the passage OF
the Nebraska bill puts US in minority for
years to come.

A contemporary says, that there is no
well conducted paper. ever watching the
interests of its locality and seeking to ad
vance them-eyer giving voice to its new
Improvements and urging on others, but
what is at least worth more 10 the prosperity
of that place than all tie enterprise, industry
and energy Of any dozen Of its best citizens
combined"
That is all true, and when an eulogy il
pronounced upon those whose enterprise.
industry and energy have aided to build up
. town, the paper which has struggled for
years in the ardaous and unrequited labor Of
holding up the hands Of those men and
bringing others TO their assistance, should
not be forgotten.

Mr.. Grimes and his Opponent.

Mr.. GRIMES, the Wing candidate for Gov.
ernor, is making very favorable impress
sion wherever he addresses the people, SO
much SO that his opponents, not content
with bringing sober prose to bear against
him, are actually pressing the muse into
their service to aid in his defeat. That
they may not have all the fun TO themselves,
