The Republican State Central Com.
mittee OF Indiana, have jus, ISSUED an adj
dress to the people, from which we clip
the following emphatic paragraphs, con-
tanning truths which every elector will do
well to consider:
The principles Of the Republican Par
,y have been grossly misrepresen,ed, and
many have been prejudiced agalns! us
by the shameless declaration, that we
desire TO abolish Slavery where j, exists,
and to place the negro upon an equality
with u, in ali the political and social re.
la,ions OF lie. A more infamous LIE
was never uttered, and its authors know
it. We contend for the exclusion Of
Slavery from territory censecrated to
freedom, so that Tree white mer may 2,
there and establish for themselves hr,nes
never 10 be contaminated by the curse OF
Slavery and lis evils.
Regulating, as we do. all connection
or coalition with any party which, ,bro'
secret organization, or otherwise, throws
It's influence and It's votes in favor OF the
extension Of Slavery, We stand firmly
and exclusively, upon the Republican
Platform proclaimed a. Philadelphia. -
We ask for the principles there avowed
the candid consideration of all men, con-
fident that they must give them their
sanction at the ballot box.
"SHALL SLAVERY BE ExrExpIp z"
Tha, is the only issue, and tie people
will no, be distracted by The side issues
of Temperance and other questions
which were improperly and unjus,ly
brought TO bear against Us at the late
electioa by dlshones, and inscriptions
demagogues. Let that issue be but fair
Iy presented and fully understood by the
people. and we have no fears as to the
result.

Robert Cover. ESQ.

This we'll known gentleman
ha- been nominated by the Rep.
ublicans for Delegate to the Con.
stitutional Convention. As to
his merits we can only say he is
one of the oldest residents of this
County. and too well known to
need any recommendation. As
to his sentiments and views in
relation to a new Constitution
they are also well known to the
people of this County, notwith-
standing the imported corps OF
Editors of the Black Democrat
have not been in the county long
enough to know what they are.
1t is we'll known that he is in
favor of a jndicious system of
Banking, with security deposited

sued.
It is well known he is in favor
of changing the time Of holding
elections from August and April
to some more suitable period
He is opposed to inducing free
negroes to come into Iowa by
giving them the right to vote, or
of placing them on an equality
with the whites.
He is in favor of the veto pow
er as it is.
He is opposed to a ruinous sys-
tenn of State Indebtedness. and
believes the Legislature should
be restricted from creating a state
debt greater than 100000. sim
gly or in the aggregate, yet that
by a uote Of the people the State
ought to have the power to lend
its credit for public improvement.
He is in favor of reducing the
term of office of certain state of.
ficers who hold for a long term
of years.
These are the sentiments he
has avowed for years, both pri-
vately and on the stump, and are
we'll known to the citizens of the
county.
1t will be remembered that his
opponent was a member of the
Convention which framed our
present constitution, which con-
tains so many Objectionable fea-
lures, and as such onght not to
be returned to frame another
equally Objectionable Constitu-

The Candidates..

On Tuesday mex, the people Of Cedar
county will chose who shall represent
them in the Constitutional Convention.
The choice lies between s. A. Bissell,
ESQ, on the one side, and Robert Cow.
er on the other.
As to Mr.. Cover, his sentiments, his
views and opinions on the various ques-
tons Of the day are well known. He is
also known to be a man OF excellent
moral character and worth, and a man Of
ability and intelligence, of high standing
in society, respected by all classes Of
people for his many good qualities and
gen,lemanly department. He is a
true man, true to himself, his own char
acter, his principles and true 10 the cause
of Freedom.
Opposed to him is Mr.. Bissell, man
who is, personally, extensively known
through the county, but whose sentiments
and views as to new constitution are a
perfect mystery TO the people. We only
know Of him that he claims to be Dem.
ocrat; believes slavery good thing.
and crdaiued Of God, and supported by
the Bible; and as such, of course, he
would be In favor of establishing i, in
Iowa. He supports the extension of
slavery into the territories; and to be
consistent, should favor its extension TO
lowe. He believes slavery the propeS
condition Of the negro, and a benefit to
the negro and As such, would favor the
benefits Of the negro IN Iowa.
He once stumped Cedar county in ia.
vor Of the "Wilmot Froviso," and imme.
dia'ely after renounced it. He claims
the whole credit Of the present clause in
the State Constitution, prohibiting Bank
ing. This is all we know of his views.

As to his character and standing his

place TO expose them. What he is, is

such righteous men as they are can vote
for a man who has set as many ungoily
