Republican County Committee.

E4S BY reference TO the proceedings
of the County Convention, which will be
found in another column, it will be seen
that a new County Committee has been
appointed. Such of the committee as
were present, had conference, and Sc
lected S. p. WEBSTER, of Independence,
as Chairman, and j. Rich, of Quasque-
ton, as Secretary. 1twas decided that each
member of the committee should appoint
two others from his township, who, to.
gether with himself, shall constitute the
township committee. The convention
recommended the selection of working
men-men who will see that the interests
of the party in their respective precincts
are not lost sight of. The committees
should be appointed Immediately, and {
return made to the Secretary of the coun.
ty committee, together with the Posi-
Office address of every member of the
county committee. We want men who
will see that their township is represented
in our county conventions who will &C
to the polls and remain there on election
day, and will see that every Republican
voter comes TO the ballot box who, in
short, thinks enough of his principles
and his party, as to give them, when
needed, his ardent, active exertions.-
We must have thorough organization.
and we can have it, if the committees
will go to work. Meetings should be
held in the different townships, and We
hope the committees will attend to it,
Speakers will be supplied whenever re-
CURED. We have work to do if we wan
to triumph, and triumph we can if We
will but work. Buchanan must give al
increased majority for Republicanism
and it lays within the power of the town.
ship committees to secure it.
a Mass Meeting is TO be held at indie
pendence on the 25th inst, at which Gov
GRIMES, and other prominent men of tn,
State will be present We hope Repub
licans will turn out en- naasse, and show
themselves awake to the importance o
the contest. There will be plenty of able
speakers, and we should have an enthu
siastic gathering. Every township should
send Il delegation, and will, if the com
mittees do their duty.

The Hon. ORAN FAvILLE, Republican
candidate for Lieutenant Governor, being
present, was then introduced to the as
semblagc, and for about half an hour held
the audience in wrapt attention by a
speech exhibiting much power and abil-
ity. He briefly but eloquenlly reviewed
the issues involved in the present canvass,
and clearly showed their important bear
ing upon our National as well as State
affairs. lie urged in strong language
the importance of electing Republican
Representatives to the next Legislature, in
order that Iowa may show her interest in
the cause of freedom by returning to the
United States Senate in place of George
W. Jones a man true to Republican prin-
ciples, and because it was necessary to
do this to secure fair test of the CON
stitution which the people of this State
have just adopted. Mr.. FAvILLE was
several times interrupted by bursts of APP
plause, and gave abundant evidence to
both political friends and enemies, of his
entire fitness for the Office for which he
is nominated. The Republicans of Blu
chanan county will give him hearty en-
dorsement.

Must be Enforced.

Buchanan says the Bogus Laws of
Kansas "shall be enforced" He has
repeated the declaration emphatically, on
several occasions. Here is specimen
of them, which we take from the author
lied edition of the statutes, page COS:
Sec. IL. Ifany free person by speaking
or acritiag, assert or maintain that persons
have not the right to hold slaves in this
territory, such person SHALL BE DEEMED
GUILTY OF FELONY
Gen. Cass said these laws were ga dis
grace to the age in which we live"
Even the rancorous and shameless We'll
Ter declared them an outrage. And who
can say, without crimsoned cheek, that
such enacments as these are not an out
rage and disgrace p Gate City.

GEO. w. JONES, vote invariably with the
enemies of freedom.
Many other points were touched upon
by Mr.. FAvILLE, but we cannot attempt
TO follow him-suffice it to say that every
Republican is satisfied that our candi-
date for Lieut.. Governor deserves his
hearty support. He did not make sim
gle personal allusion to the opposition
candidates, but contented himself with a
discussion of principles. This, together
with plain and unassuming manner,
has enhanced his popularity.
Judge TABOR, of independence, was
loudly called for, upon Mr.. FAvILLE re-
Stunning his seat. He came forward and
delivered most eloquent and stirring
appeal, which was frequently applauded.
The Judge is very rapid speaker, rush
ing along with the impetuosity of a noun
tain torrent. His speech was replete with
the most apt illustrations, and dealt sledge-
hammer blows at Democratic sophistries.
We should like much TO give our readers
correct report of the Judges speech,
but nothing less rapid than locomotive
stenographist could keep pace with him,
while mere outline of it from us would
be doing him too much injustice. We
hope, however, chat arrangements will
be made, during the present canvass, that
will enable the people of every township
in the county TO hear him.
c. Z. LArHRop, Esq, of Independence,
was also called on, but the hour being
late, he made but few remarks. We
think the Republicans of Quasqueton
will need but little further urging to make
them come up to their duty.
