torial head that Wing State Convention
is called to meet Mt Iowa City on the 22d
February next. We hope theie will &c
full representation from every part Of the
State.
The keokuk Whig proposes James Iar-
Ian as candidate for Superintendent Of
Public Instruction, but VIC understand that
he has positively declined being candidate
for any Office whatever. Stephea b. Shella,
dy is nominated by the Burlington HawkE
Eye for Governor. We prefer awaiting the
action Of the Convention before expressing
preference, trusting it will nominate
s'gotd men and true" We have received
the following communication on the sub

Fsr the Journal.
Mr.. EDITOR 1t is, believe, generally
understood, that a Wing State Convention
will be callod to meet on or soon after the
22d of February. The prospect of success
for the Wings is certainly more fsttering At
present than ut any previous election. Let
our best and most tried men be brought out
for the different Offices. And in this con-
nection permit me to suggest for the con-
sideration of Wings, the name of THOMAS
w. CLAGGETT, Of Lee county, Cor Governor.
1t is needless to say that Mr.. G. is widely
and Avornbly known throughout the State,
by the zeal and ability with which he dis.
charged his duty ~ clector at largo in tn,
last Presidential campaign. He has laid tn,
Wings under many obligations to him, ant
the nomination would be we'll deserved
compliment to his merit. Apart from hi
political merits, Mr.. z. is deeply interested
in the prosperity of our State and it's do.
mestic policy. He would, if elected, dis.
charge the duties of the Office with credit I,
the State, and honor to himself.

Z Curtis BArEs.- The Keokuk Wig thus
speaks of the old gentleman who recently
received the nomination Of tho Democratic
Convention as candidate for Governor of
Iowa:
sCurtis Bates is at present q resident Of
Fort Des Moines, and the editor Of the .Star,
though he never has been accounted much
of star himself. He is in fact an old fogy
hanger.on of the party, without the slight
est prctsnsion to ability or influence, but
entertaining the most ultra anti-bank and
anti-improvement sentiments in all the bitJ
terness of narrow mind and bigoted
partisan. He was q member indeed of the
Iowa Constitutional Cow cntion, AID gave
the most cordial support to those radical
provisions of the Constitution which go
much retard the prosperity Of the State.''
