gallant spirits of the State, the very flow.
er eff the Republican organization. In
view Of the uncertainty in regard to the
fate of the New Constitution, and the
condition of the roads after protractcd
rain extending nearly all over the State,
the attendance was unexpectedly large ;
and the presence of such class Of men
was I'll more gratifying The old vet
Grams were presens to aid their counsils,
and the young men were Oh hand, full OF
zeal and fire, eager to enter upon can
vass, the Importance Of which seemed to
be appreciated by all.
The platform of the Convention speaks
for itself The unonimity with which it
Was adopted is the best evidence Of the
harmony that pervades the Republican
! Coupsels, and Of the ardent attachment
to a great and noble cause. that binds to-
gether as by hooks of steel; the Rcpub-
| lican brotherhood The freemCu who
| have rallied around the Republican ban
ncr, and swept nearly every Free State,
by unprecedented majoritles, are more
and more deepl. impressed with the con
viction that there cause is just, their po-
sition " ise and patriotic, and their success
the only hope Of the country. If the
ship of State cannot be anchored again IN
the safe moorings provided by the found
crs Of Rcpublicanism, the days Of politi-
tical freedom are numbered.

Not because the organization is wanting
in men worthy and able to fill the Guhcr-
material Chair; but because of very ab-
surd feeling, far too prevalent IN our
ranks,-that (ocoiity is matter of the
last Importance. The sooner we rise
about that narrow prejudice and rule of
action, the better. Competency and fdcl-
ity to the Cause, should be paramount
considerations; and the man who has
won honorable distinction in the ranks,
by the zeal with which he has lubored, in
sunshine and storm. whether IN a hope
less minority, or with certain success be-
fore him, is worthy of our heartest sup
port, whether he comes from Lee or from
Henry; from DubuGu. or from Jasper
The idea that the Offices of the State must
be parcclled out, in exact proportions, be
tween the North and the South the East
and the West, the middle and extremes,
is all the mcrcst moonshinc; and has been
productive of evil and evil only.
Several gentlemen named in connection
with the office Of Governor, and Lieut.
'Hovernor, were thus named without their
knowledge; and in the absence Of any
knowledge as to their willingnessto oceu-
py those positions, the vote IN Convention
cannot be regarded as any criterion Of the
feeling Of the Convention toward them.
Of Judge LOWE, who seemed to com
bine the most strength in the Convention
from the start, and upon whom the choice
of the convention finally centered, it is
not necessary We should say much, He
has State reputation. One Of its earli-
est settlers, he has during residence of
10 years within it, borders, witnessed its
growth from handful of settlers, to q
great and fiourishing State. His refu-
tation is above rcproach Wen read, lib
eral minded and literally educated, he has
strivan to act well his part in every posi-
tion of life. At the bar Of one of the
leading cities of Iowa, he is regarded as
one of the foremost men; and during five
wears that he occupied The position of the
Judge of the lst District, he added stea-
dily to his reputation as a just and able
jurist He has devoted much attention
and time to agricultural pursuits, having
quite as much partality for them as for
the law He resided ten years at Mus
catiue, and the vote given to him by the
Muscatne delegation shows how he is
regarded in that vicinity. Indeed, we
cannot but regard the choice ofthc Con
vcntion, as one that will commend itself
to the Republicans Of Iowa, rs wise and
fortunate.
ORAN FANILLE, of Mitchell,
Mitchell County, nominee for Lieutenant
Governor, was warmly urged by his own
and the ncighborin. delegations. as the
man for the place and for the time. Like
Judge Lowe, he is known and esteemed
at home for his moral worth, his genial
temper and high intellectual qualities
