A Republican Convention.

We would call the attention Of Vie PEG.
pie Of this county to the fact, tba. while
nearly every one Of the free states are
holding conventions to organize repub.
iican party. and to form codes Of political
principles, consonant with the spirit OF
free institutions THAT while the people
Of the free states are arousing 10 sense
Of ths deep wrongs pcrpstrated. and dali
" being contaminated BY the present ad'
minis.ration, in conjunction with the slave
oiisarchy. that Iowa still slumbers on in
inactivity, apparently regardless Of what
may be the result Of the coming presi-
Dental campaign. This we are panied
to see. We know the sentiments OF the
people Of Iowa are right. We believe
they will repodiate Frank Pierce. and ito
embecile cabinet and shameful acts; tha,
they will, If called upon, respond to =
call to join in the good work Of placing
a barrier around the slave power, to ar
rest its Entertainments upon the rights Of
free citizens aud the freedom Of the coun.
try. That the people Of Iowa are per-
fectIy CONVINCED that the government,
needs parging Of the corrupt poli,isians
who have obtained the highss. stations,
and who. regardless Of the wishes and
desires Of their constituents, are making
the propagation Of slavery the main OBJ
ject Of their official career.
Blu. where shall this organization spring
'front.' From The people, Of courss. Then
why no, the free thinking men OF Old
Cedar NEE, in general convention, and
declair their political sentiments, org anize
q party, publish their platform, and make
. call for q state convention.
We make these suggestions to the peo-
pie Of this county hoping they will meet
with . response. l. is indeed time that
the people were awakening to knowl-
edge Of their threatened ri2hts---to the
ou.rages tina, are daily being perpetrated
upon free citizens of free states, solely
because they opposs slavery and the dis
graces and ignominy thrown upon the
American character by the corrupt party
now IN power. These ore grave subjects,
aud subjects affecting the rights and IN
serests Of each private citizen, however
humble. Then let US have gathering

generally draw together heterogeue.

OF the rows at the camp ground He
was considerably indignan, a! lhe' carry

there was show, camp meeting, or

to learn that the paItIclpators in these
rows were not residents Of this place.
