Our County Candidates.

The Republican Convention which met last
Saturday, the proceedings of which will be
found elsewhere, presented to the voters OF
the county in the persons of A. Lotspeich
VIM. M. Allison and Sam'l X. Dreamer, a
Ticket most worthy OF the united and cordial
support, which we have no doubt will be Civ
en- to it. They are, one and all OF them. just
such men as are wanted, at this jnncture, in
the councils of the State. We have in the
county no three citizens of greater personal
worth, higher order Of talent, or more iEti-
mately acquainted with the interests of the
County and State: or who, IL elected az they
ought to be,will discharge tho duties of legis-
lators more ably and faithfully. AS to the
views which they hold in relation to the i'm
portant questions at issue in the pending can
vass, they will make them known between
this time and the election. We place their
names at the head of our columns.

We hear from the papers that the State Can
vass is being vigorously prosecuted in the
southern part of the State, by the candidates Of
the respective parties for Governor, assisted
in places and very ably no doubt, by Mr.. Gil
aspy, the would-be Democratic Lieutenant to
the Governor.
From the best impression which we can form
from the reports of speeches at different meet
ings, We are inclined to think that Mr.. Sam
uels, of Dubuque, is not carrying the State by
storm on the niger question, his s,rong l.oint,
aswas expected by himself and friends. He
seems to have more wind than bottom, and
having taxed his powers too severely at the
outset of his progress at Burlington, in getting
of the astonishingly Demecratic sentiment
that his children were too good to associate
with the young scions of dirty mechanics, his
bottom is getting seriously affected.
On The contrary, Judge Lowe, gentleman;
cool. close, and imprisoned rea soner. and a
perfect adept in the politics of the State, is
everywhere winning golden opinions for him
self and The great and glorious principles of
the party which he represents.
Whether Gillaspy has lectured any on Ed
ucation, we are not advised. His declaration
IN speech in the constitutional Convention.
last winte., that they charge upon him. that
he had had great experience IN s.ignorance,' .
would be a capital text.
Let it be remembered that Judge Lowe. has
an appointment here on the Sd day of October,
when it is expected the people will turn out,
en- mass.
The Cedar Valley Times thus speaks of Hon.
0. Faville, who is canvassing the north, on the
occasion of his speaking at Cedar Rapids:
"With few pertinent remarks, the chair
man introduced to the audience Oran Faville,
Of Mitchell, who advanced and took his stand
in front of the platform, whereupon the chair
man invited him to come upon the platform
but he declined, pleasantly remarking that he
never had dasire to get above the people, but
always preferred being on level with them,
and one of them. Mr.. r. is rather above the
medium size and stature, has high, intellect
ual forehead. and commanding countenance.--
His face, bronzed by exposure, and hands,
hardened BY toll, give evidence that he comes
fresh from the harvest field, to exchange views
with the people Of Iowa. He is an earnest,
forcible, energetic speaker, aud our friends
throughout the State, need not hesitate to
promise good affective speech whenever he
is to be present.

During the sessions Of the Ohio Congrega-
'ionai Conference, one evening was spent in
discussion on this subject. The Religious
Telescope, Of Dayton, reports one Of the speak

"Mr. Oacken and several other laymen
came together in Germany few years ago,
and resolved that they would preach Christ
always, ard wherever they should 90; and
they went out into the streets and lane 5 of the
city OF Hamburg, and invited the people to
come together and hear preaching. What
was tn result? In very brief period 5000
COMMITMENTS have been gathered, and many
thousands OF Bibles, tracts, and religious books
have been scattered abroad. With Mr.. One
ken, the primary qualification for lay preach
er is, that he should be a practical ,corker.-
