THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES FOR REpRE-
sESTATIvEs.-A correspondent Of the DUBUQUE
Tribune, taking for his text a sentence from
the Herald IN reference to some Of the demo-
ciatc nominees for Representatives from this
county says, alluding to the Herald, "the
senior editor of that paper has been understood
to say that he could not support Mr. Hall under
any circumstances" He must have been mis-.
understood by whoever gave currency to such
report. What he did say was that il the charg.
es made against Mr.. Hall were true, he could
not support him. One of these. charges was
that he, Mr.. Hall, bolted the nomination of
Judge Clark in 1852, and melted others to do
Tue sdthe, tne OtnerS were OF different, some
OF frivolous, others of far more serious ma.
ture: correspondent of this paper asked Mr.
Hall whether he did bolt the nomination of
Judge Clark. He has an opportunity there.
fore, to right himself on that charge
what may be called frivolous charge against
Mr Hall, is that he kept bar, or tended
grocery for negro in Dubuque. If the occu
patton was honest, as we presume it was,
we have no objection to him on that
score. negro has as much right to keep
a grocery where the law allows it as white
man has, and if white man needs employ mt
and negro can afford 10 hife him, we see
nothing wrong in the white mans becoming
the servant-Some people would call it mean,
but we are not considering it outside of a NOR
al point OF view As to other charges made
against Mr.. Hall, we have probably heard them,
but do not judge person on rumor Mr. Hall
mas an opportunity to defend HIMSELF and we
nope tor his own sake, and for the sake Of the
democratic party, which has given him no.
InInation Tor an important and honorable office.
That ne will be able to do so successfully.

Injunction Granted .1gairst It's Re-consfrueh0n
Philadelphia, June 26
In the s. Circuit Court petltloa was
presented applying for an injunc,oh to restrain
the Wheeling Bridge Company from re con-
structing the bridge over the Ohio river at the
same elevation as the old one, alleging that 1t is
the intention of the company 10 raise ihe two
suspended cables left by the storm, and co :
instruct new bridge at the same elevation
The petition also alleges that the navigation OF
the river would be greatly obstructed thereby
The bill was accompanied by atlidavlts setting
forth these facts, and from its tenor seems to be-
a bill to execute the former decree of the Su-
preme Court, with an order 10 stay the recon
struction of the bridge In the meantime the
injunction was granted, with an order for the
work to be stayed.
The validity Of the act of congress making
the bridge a post route will now come up.

CONTRASTS ARE SOMETIMES BENE
FICIAL

In presenting the claims of Mr.. Thoringtor
the Hhig candidite for Congress, for the
suttrages of the people of the End Cnngression.
al District of Iowa, the Dubuque Tribune SAYS
s 1t is true that this temperance question vi III
have little weight in Washington and there Is
no probability, that our representatives will be
called upon to legislate with reference to it j;
yet, we are just temperance men enough, to
prefer, other thing being equal the man who
never drinks, to the man who is in the constant
habit OF drinking
IL is true as the Tribune says, that this ques-
ton will have little weight at Washington, and
it is consolation that it is SO; bat it is never
lheless equally true, that Mr.. Thorington, and
his party, are making it political ho6by to
catch votes with.
The editor says, "roe are just temperance men
enough, toprefer, other thing being equal the
man 'oho nerer drinks, to the man ,cho is in the
constant habit Of drinking.' The man who
never drinks is Mr. Thorington, and the man
who is constantly drinking is Gov. Hampstead
Very well, this is all right in the editor of the
Tribune, if he chooses to make it a test; but it
is quite important 10 be consisten in the matter
Will the editor pretend that his party cand.
dates are all free from the san of drinking p
Will he pretend that he is not daily advocating
the election of a gentleman, who is Sin the
constant habit of drinking''? No, he dare not
do it, but he dare daily institute it as a reason
for opposing MIR. Hampstead and favoring the
election of Mr.. Thorington, when the ratio of
intellect and competency, is as one to hundred
against his own candidate.
We do not introduce this circumstance in ahy |
nvldIous spirit, or as an argument against the
'iectlon oil the man to whom we refer, but
merely to exhibit the utter inconsistency and
nsincerity Of the editor of the Tribune.
