Republicanism in Clinton County.

Republicnnism in Clinton County.
The Republicans of Clinton county, held
large mass meeting at Dewitt on the llth inst,
at which the best feeling prevailed. The Clinto-
nian thus speaks of it.: ,...-
The numbers in attendance at the Republican
Convention at this place on the llth inst, far ex-
ceeded our anticipatons. The Court House was
literally crowded." and the spirit manifested
by those in attendance was omnous of q glor-
| Gus triumph for the Republican party in Clinton.
In regard to the principles embodied in the Res
olutions passed, we have before alluded, and will
from time to time, urge the importance of their
claims upon every opponent of dcspotism and
| misrule, but our limits this week forbid us Civ
ing them the attention they deserve. G
The convention was united and harmonious
| Not discordant note arose in the vast throng
| to mar the proceedings, or throw an obstacle be-
fore the car Of Republican liberty. They came
| up with one heart and mind, and with a united
shout, proclaimed the platform adopted as the
| foundation stone Of their political faith,
and resolved on its broad surface to battle with
! unfatering will until the principles therein en-
bodied should be firmly established and ac-
knowledged, throughout the length and breadth
of this confederacy. sg .'

Newspaper improvements.

We see that our contemporaries of the Daven-
port Gazette have enlarged their daily to the size
of our weekly, being eight columns to the page.
The Gazette is ably conducted and is an interest

fee is undoubtedly in prosperous condition
But we cannot think the proprietors exercised
their wonted shrewdness when they enlarged
What with monstrous heads and poster style
of display they do not get more advertising, if
as much into their daily enlarged as it is than We
do into our six column paper. For doing up
goods the Gazette is more valuable than the
Hawk-Eye, but to its readers and to the proprie-
tors it cannot be, while at the end of the year
there will be difference Of a good many hun
dreds in the paper bill. But this is all matter
of taste and opinion. Messrs. Davis Saunders
have our wishes for their success s
The Peoria Republican comes to us in new
dress. The typographical arrangement is e1-

when it shall have completed the change, will in
our opinion be model paper. Success to it.

u tits somewhat amusing and good deal
notifying to see the efforts, on the part of
the Nebraska membels of the House of Repre-
sentatives, to prevent any investigation into the
frauds practiced in Kansas, in the Whit
field and Reeder contested election case. The
friends of the Administration are very loath to
suffer an investigation. They know that things
have transpircd, with the knowledge and conni-
vance of the Administration, that would look
very badly upon paper, and they are very anxious
to prevent any investigation. To all charges OF
fraud-to the assertion that Kansas was con-
uuered, the true voters driven from the polls by
an armed body of invaders, and Whitfield elected
by men who never did, and never expect to live
in the Territory, they have but one answer
''We care noting for all this. We have exam.
ined Whitfeld's credentials and find them in
proper order"
The Constitution makes it the duty of the
House of Representatives to judge of the elec.
ton Of its own members. And great frauds un.
precedented in this country, like those commit.
ted in this case, certainly demand investigation.
They should be shown up, in an authoritative
form, and We hope, will be, in spite Of the efforts
which are made to hide and cover up.

Letter from Gov. Robinson of Kansas.
Gov. Robinson writes from Lawrence K. T.,
under date of Feb 26th:
Tell our friends to admit us into the Union if
they can, but if they cannot do that, get us
through the House if possible, and at all events
stop all appropriations for the Territorial Gov
ernment, State House and all. Pass no law for
the Territorial Government; accept us into the
Union or nothing. We can live another year,
if necessary, out of the Union, but it is useless
to attempt to patch up any Territorial Govern
ment whilst Pierce appoints the Governor and
Judges.
The Pro Slavery men are trying to coax, fiat
ter and frighten the State officers, from taking
the oath of Office on the 4th of March They are
very anxious we should let the Constitution fail
in that way. They say We may meet and me-
morialize Congress, or do anything else, if we
will not take the oath of Office Their plan is to
get another Constitutional Convention, and then
hire few thousand men from Missouri and the
South to come here and live till State Govern
ment is formed. g-. = re sE4s rs~
But we must never be made to go back again
and begin denovo. 1t is said that private instruc-
tons have been received to have every member
of the State Government arrested for treason as
soon as he takes the oath, but do not believe it
and if did it would make no difference-the
oath will be taken fife is spared. s.as ....sr
A later account informs us that the oath was
| taken on the 4th Of March, and the State Gov
ernment perfected ..5fs

from which We extract the above, is only true Of
one, of the Council Bluffs Office, and only true
Of i during the fall and winter. There was no
diiheuity in making entries hast season In any Of

never were compelled to wait more than one day

BAD FOR LAND SPEcuLAToRs.-The General
Land Office has sent out an affidavit, requiring
all those who have entered lands at the reduced
price, under the Graduation Bill, to swear ''tha'
they are now in the occupancy of said land, and
have cultivated portion of it," and also cor
responding affidavit has to be made by some
friend Of the person who entered the land stating
that che knows him to be the identical person
who entered said land, and that he is and has
been residing on said land"
This regulation completely upsets the calcula.
tons of parties who entered these lands for spec
ulative purposes only ; who, though they were
under the impression that they could make the
affidavit in the first place, cannot find it in their
consciences to swear to those now sent out by
the Department, as necessary to the perfection
of their titles. 1t is said that bill is to be sent
to Congress, which will provide for refunding
money to those who have purchased lands OF
this character, and cannot comply with the re.
quirements Of the Department.
